Dict For tho Aged.

lind, says O writer in The Gentle
mans Magazine, that if old people
are put on a good meat diet in the
way of strong soup, beef tea and ami
NAL food, and only just sufficient fa-
rinaceous food and fats and sugar to
maintain the heat of the body, they
increase wonderfully in energy-as
they often express it, feel 20 years
younger. This is only natural; it is
q food of energy, the food that builds
up muscle, nerve and constitutional
stamina.
The requirements of the system of
old age, as rule, are not very great,
and more harm is done by taking too
much food than by taking too little.
I have known people considerably
over 70 to derive the greatest benefit
from a thorough change in diet. 1t
seems to rejuvenate them. Of course
In old age care should be taken that
the body is not subjected to rapid
changes in temperature. When the
nervous power is decreasing, Us the
result of old age, and the system is
losing power of combating cold and
strain upon its energy, a stimulating
diet invigorates and is conducive to
maintaining constitutional stamina
better than any other.

Better Health Obtaining.

Tho average number Of days Of
sickness in every decade for each
man is said to be only 16. Under
rules of scientific hygiene and prin-
ciples Of health better practiced, our
span of ife-be this desirable or tho
reverse-has, by tho evidence of in
surance societies, considerably in
creased. The power Of unalleviated
physical pain to terrify or trouble is
practically at an end with the gen.
eral use of those benign an@sthetics
which have brought new era of
confidence to the hospital and sick
room and taken away all its horror
from the surgeons knife.-Sir Edwin

The Pronunciation Of Arkansas.

Ihave travelled in Arkansas, and it
Is said there that the legal pronunci,
alton is Arkansaw. In the antebel-
lum days about the time Kansas was
admitted as free state, there was
agitation in the state legislature of
Arkansas in regard to the state name
being mistaken by its similarity to
the name of Kansas. One very zeal
GUS member of the house moved that
the legal pronunciation of the state
should be Arkansaw. The PROPOSE
ton was seconded, and passed by
large majority.
So the story goes. To travel the
state and say Arkansas and not Ar
kansaw marks a person among the
natives as being a tenderfoot to their
soil. AS rule all southern people
say Arkansaw, and that, believe, is
why the pronunciation is still kept
fresh, as | know that the schools of
Kansas and the west teach the pro-
nunciation Arkansas. - Baltimore

Killed HERSELF IN PUBLIC.
How . Bsreaved Chinese Fisncse Ended
Her Days,

How ! Bsreaved Chinese Fisness Ended
Her DayA
Mr.. Medhurst, for many years Brit
ish consul at Shanghai, tells in the
London Million Of a singular card Of
invitation" which he received in Chi
ma. It was from lady, intimating
her intention to commit suicide on
specified date. She was very young
and attractive and belonged to a
wealthy family, but the Chinese gen.
tleman to whom she had been affi-
anoed from childhood having died
lust before the date fixed for their
nuptials she gave out that she deem
ed it her duty to render her widow
hood irrevocable by dying with her
betrothed. So she sent cards around
to the local gentry giving notice OF
her purpose.
No attempt was made by her rela-
tives or the local authorities to frus-
trate her design, though Mr. Med
hurst appealed to the mandarins, the
general opinion being that she was
about to perform a meritoriorls act.
Eventually, on the day named, the
woman did deliberately sacrifice her
life in the presence of thousands of
spectators. A stage was erected in
the open fields, with tented frame
over it, from which was suspended a
strip of scarlet Grape. One end OF
this slip she fastened round her neck,
and then, embracing little boy pro
sented by one of the bystanders, she
mounted a chair and resolutely
Jumped off, her little clasped hands
saluting the assemblage as her body
twirled round with the Tightening
cord.
The woman was not bounded on by
fanatic mob, as was the practice at
suttees in India, but immolation ap-
peared to be an entirely voluntary
act. Sacrifices of this kind, accord
ing to Mr.. Medhurst, are not uncom-
mon in certain districts OF China,
and, strange to say, they are rewarded
with monuments, sometimes erected
by order of the emperor.

was caused by paralysis Of the

1t is not said how the disease was
induced, but the deceased was a

will be embalmed and sent to Eng
