How TO Live Two Hundred Years.

Mr.. William Kinnear writes to the
North american RCUiCW regarding
longevity, and thinks some practical
rules may be observed with the result
of greatly prolonging life. He says
that seventy per cent. of the body is
water. Calcareous salts and earthly
matter arc held in solution. When
these become excessive and resist eX-
pulsion the system becomes blocked,
the stiffness and dryness of old age
come on and in time death ensuos sim
ply by the stoppage of the delicate
and exquisite machinery which we call
life. In the first place he thinks that
by iudicious selection Of food and
drink it is possible to minimize the
amount of calcareous salts and earthly
matter taken into the system. Cereals
and heterogeneous food abound in these
elements Beef and old mutton es-
pecially are overcharged with salts and
should be avoided by persons of ad-
vanced years. Fruits, fish, poultry,
young mutton and veal contain less of
the earthly salts than other articles of
food, and are therefore less harmful.
Summing up, then, the art of living
200 years, Mr.. Kinnear says that physi-
cal decay may be kept at bay and the
approach of old age retarded by avoid
ing all foods rich in the earth salts, by
using much fruit and by taking daily
two or three tumblers of distilled wa
ter, with about ten or fifteen drops of
diluted phosphoric acid in each glass
! ful.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Kinnear lays
special stress on the liberal use OF
fruit in the daily diet. All dietary
authorities concur in the opinion OF
the high value of all ripe fruits, sucl
as are so extensively grown in Califor
MIA. Whenever the time shall com,
that the masses of American peopl,
discard to a great extent the greas,
compounds they now call food anC
make more liberal use of fruits in thei
daily living, the period Of longevit,
will almost certainly be increased.

Fishermen. 1t is of English origin,
the Outgrowth of an act of Parliament,
some twelve years ago. 1t seems that
the conduct of the English trawlers--
certain class of fshermcn--in the
high seas became more and more out
rageous. Most of tho time beastly
drunk, they hositated at neither thiev-
ing or murder. The loss Of life was
appalling. But legislation did no
good. Christian influence must be
used. The Thames Church Mission
was organized. A fishing smack called
the Ensign was fitted up with n COM
plete medicine chest and fine library,
plenty of warm clothing, and a skip
per who was an earnest Christian as
well as a good doctor. Year after year
moro smacks have been added, until
now the success of the work is an as
sured fact. To make o long story
short, the Deep-Sea Mission spends
over 100000 annually. In 1891 it
had nearly 5000 patients under treat
ment, 1t distributed over 400, 900
magazines, nearly 300,0 tracts, and
IL, 1877 books, exclusive OF 1886 Bibles,
and 1743 religious services were held
on board its various ships. Last year
they sent one of their ships across the
Atlantic to the fishermen off the New
foundland coast, and excellent work
was done. New York World.

America at Antwerp's Great Exposition.

Right on the heels of the colossal
Columbian Exposition there comes an
other Worlds Fair, the Antwerp In
tornational Exhibition of 1894, ''under
the high patronage of Leopold H., the
King Of the Belgians. 1t will be in
auguratod May 3, with the fanfare and
trappings Of royalty.
When the visitor to the exposition
on the banks of the 'lazy Scheldt'
passes into the grand entrance on the
Place Publique next summer one of
the most striking pictures to greet his
eye will DO the facade of the American
building 1t will be one of the most
beautiful and pretentious pieces OF
architecture on the grounds. Facing
the grand entrance from an advanta-
geous position on the right, its prom
iuence will rival that of the Sale DIES
Fetes and will DO excelled only by the
Galleries de lIndustric, or main build
ing. 1t is regarded as the most prom
inent site ever accorded foreign
country ut an exposition.
The building will be modern Rem
aissance in style, 2AOxl5O feet. 1t
will be constructed of steel, iron and
glass, after the fashion of the exhibit
buildings at the Columbian Exposi,
ton, and interiorly it will be arranged
to serve as an exhibition hall. There
will be clubhouse features to the
building, but the main feature will bC
its arrangement for the display o
American manufactures that may fnt
a market abroad. Around the mail
hall will be rooms reserved for pos
and telegraph offices, telephone, in
formation bureau, money exchange
writing rooms and newspaper file
rooms for American newspapers. II
addition there will also be a barber
shop, smoking-room, ambulance an(
drugs, check room and toilet rooms
These rooms will open from the ex
hibition hall, whose main entrance OF

the south will be through a grand
vestibule ITO feet wide, approached by
a broad marble stairway.
There will be separate entrance on
the east side Of the building. the en-
tire space of which will be divided into
rooms for the press and a commercial
room where catalogues and literature
of exhibitors will be distributed. The
commercial room will serve as an ex-
changefor the transaction of business
by exhibitors.
The main exposition court IS open
to the dome, but surrounded by a
gallery. In addition to broad stair
ways which lesd up to the gallery
there will be two American elevators,
which in themselves will be novelties
there, Opening on to the gallery will
be exhibited rooms of the various
States, the largest of these, which will
be forty by eighty-two feet, will be
devoted to the United States Govern
ment. There will be eighteen rooms
on the second floor.
In the center of the main hall will
be an illuminated electric fountain
and a soda water fountain, which is
peculiarly an American institution in
it's modernized proportions.
The building is rectangular in de-
sign, while the space allotted to the
United States is irregular in shape,
caused by the Rue de Acknowledgement,
which runs obliquely through the ex.
position grounds. There is thus left
pentangular piece of ground on the
west, adjoining the electricity build
ing. On this will be erected mode
fire station, where the system whicl
has made the fire service of the United
States unrivalled throughout tn,
world will be demonstrated. The sta
tion will have all of the latest device
for fire fighting. An ambulance Wagon
will also be placed in this annex.
In the rear of the American build
ing there will be a complete moderl
shoe factory in operation. This vii
be an important exhibit, as this coun
try is recognized to be far in advanc
of the rest of the world in the manu-
facture of shoes, as was conclusivel
shown by the Chicago Fair, if that ex
hibition were needed to demonstrate
the fact.
The American building and Its an
mex will contain 26, 500 square feet @
space. In addition to this 5000
square feet has been allotted to tn
American section in the industry o
main building; 10000 square feet i
the electricity building and 5000
square feet in the machinery building
thus making grand total of LAG, 80
square feet of space at the Antwer
Exposition to be occupied by Amer

4 STUDY or LINCOLN.
The Great Eaiscipaisr's navsless msatai
cspaeIly.

New. YoRK, March 20 Some ofihe msga-
Zines for the currentsnonth, in view Of the
Esct that the Anniversary Of the birth Of
Abraham Lincoln occurred upon Feb II,
have had rome critical study Of his charac-
ter or his influence in history. and the
speeches which were prepared to be deliver
I'd at the meeting Of come Of the Lincoln
clubs Of the United States had special ref
erence to the literary quality OF Mr.. Lin
coins mind as it Is being revealed more and
more by intelligent study.
FIX Postmaster General Thomas l.. James,
h an address prepared for one OF these oc-
yasions, spoke Of comment once made by
Mr.. Linc0in'x intimate friend, the late Da-
vId Davis, who declared that even In the
early days OF Lincoln's career, while he
was practicing law. he showed n marvellous
capacity for fathoning the depths OF the
human heart and for revealing its subtle
ties in quaint, original, but almost poetic
sentences.
It has also been said that Mr.. Lincoln
looked forth upon the world almost with
Sliakespeare's eyes, and that, while he did
not possess the sense Of rhythm or the
knowledge OF prosody which would have
enabled him TO make use OF that knowledge
rs Shakespeare did, nevertheless he had the
keen dramatic sense, AS was revealed by his
apt anecdotes with which he illustrated his
knowledge of the frailties as well as the
capacities Of human nature.
