A Long Life.

Sir Benjamin Richardson, M. D.. Of
England. thinks that the normal period
of human life is about ITO years, and
that seven out Of ten average people
could live that long if they lived in the
right way. They should cultivate .
spirit OF serene cheerfulness under all
circumstances and should learn TO like
physical exercise in scientific way No
man, he says. need be particularly ab-
stemious in regard to any article Of food,
for the secret Of long life does not lie
there. A happy disposition, plenty Of
sleep. temperate qualification Of all
the natural appetites. and the right kind
OF physical exercises. will insure Ion

An Educational Scrap Book.

One mother has introduced new
occupation for her children. This is
the construction OF scrap book Of
noted people Of the day. Each has a
page on which a newspaper picture is
pasted at the top. Beneath this photo
graph the child writes when the person
was born, the briefest account Of his or
her life, up to date and possibly the
time Of death. Among the fast grow
ing list is the Russian royalties, the
little king Of Spain, the queen Of Hol-
land, DIR. Holmes, Robert Louis Steven
son, ex-president Carnot. the emperor
Of Germany and his children, etc An
other mother has varied this idea for
her own family Of bright little ones.
She has set them at work collecting for
a scrap book all the pictures they can
find of royalty. The result is very in.
teresting. There are, Of course those
from Russia, the cunning pictures Of
the German princes, the youthful
rulers Of Spain and Holland and sew

THE FUTURE OF JAPAN.
Concern IL Manifested - to the Tee ia
pan VIII Make Of Tier Victory.

Concern IL Unaffected - to the Use ia
pan VIII Make Of Her Victory.
Now that the treaty Of peace between
China and Japan has been formally
ratified, some concern is manifested in
certain quarters as to the use Japan
will make Of her victory. Will she,
encouraged by her military success, be-
come aggressive and disturber of the
peace. seeking other Asiatic conquests:
The answer to these questions is given
by Count Okums, one Of the ablest,
most experienced and enlightened
Statesmen in Japan, in an interview
with the special representative Of the
New York Herald. This gentleman
declares that Japan has no military as
pirationA I'VE seek only material ad
vancement and home prosperity, and
Japan can never play the bully" He
adds that the people Of Japan are in
full sympathy with the spirit Of mod
ern progress; that they are concerned
in education and the development Of
industry, and that their supreme desire
is to live at peace with all the world.
At the same time they will not submit
to any aggression ON the part Of other
nations Count Okuma expresses
particular solicitude for the enlarge
ment Of trade relations between his
country and the United States, ''our
nearest amicable neighbors, and he
suggests that if our counsels were as ac-
tive and jealous in promoting business
intercourse As the representatives of
England, Germany and France, the
volume Of trade might be greatly in
creased.
These general statements as to the
future policy Of Japan are in strict ac-
cordance with the avowals Of the Mi
kado and all the influential leaders in
affairs. Their sincerity. in view of
the moderation before displayed under
peculiarly calculated to
infiame the national temper, cannot be
questioned. Japan not only has dis
played remarkable prowess in arms.
but prudence in and equanimiry of
a self-control in dealing
with her prostrate foe, which, it may
with truth be said, few il any European
governments would have exhibited
under like conditions -Leslies Weekly.

Last winter" said Mr.. q. b. Cole
man Of Chicago, Il had the pleasure Of
attending swell dinner given by one
Of our millionaire townsmen, at which
Gene Field was an invited guest.
Fields brillIancy as a writer Is in
inverse ratio to his ability as a money
getter. In fact, the element Of thrift is
sadly wanting in his makeup.
There were many good things to
tempt the palate, among them straw
berries. which are costly luxury in the
dead Of winter at Chicago.
when Fields bowl Of berries were
placed beside him, he looked at them
with the scrutinizing air Of an epicure,
and then, in very emphatic way,
pushed them to one side, noticing which
his host said:
Aren't you fond Of strawberries,
Mr.. Field?
Yes, very much indeed, but they

Another Renegade.

Hudson, Wis, Sept II.
Editor Irish Standard: The people Of
this city are Undecided whether to ap-
pear highly amused or vehemently IL
dignant at the appearance here, on the
9Th inst, of a man named Patrick welsh,
who gave what he Tcalled a lecture, but
what others called a lunatic harangue.
The sum and substance Of his idiotic glib
behring's were that he had once been
Catholic, but for reasons best known to
himself he left the church and became
a Protestant. The feeling among the re-
spectacle element of the Protestants is
that they wish he hadn't, as he is looked
upon as a disgrace to any organization,
religious, politicaI or otherwise. His lee
ture (save the 3m:Arl) was delivered to a
handful of people such as may be found
in all communities, who are eager to
listen to the morbid or sensational. OF
course this mani Welsh abused the Cath
Ollie church, but there has been no sign
hereabouts of the church tottering on
that account. The thinking Protestants
wouldn't attendE his chatter, and the few
who did SO have been wondering ever
since what the man was talkin. about,
concluding, however that he was rot
ten limb OF some church and
fell to mother earth through ir-
reparable decay. The odor of
decomposition is still attached to
him. When the bills announcing the ap-
pearance of this forerunnerof his satanic
majesty were peddled about the streets,
the reputable business men would not al
low them to be posted on their premises.
nevertheless a,meat market, grocery, and
one furniturey hardware and feed store
each permitted them to be displayed in
their windows. Whether they did it
through pity or sympathy or pay is not
known, but it. is generally conceded that
they made q mistake. Perhaps they
were Indifferent or perhaps they were.
disposed to give the misguided man
some rope so that he might hang himself.
If it was the latter reason they admir-.
ably succeeded, for the bloviating wan
derer strang]ed himself upon the plat
form, morally, and. socially.
Welsh shol1ld go to the South Sea IS.
lands and give himself up to the canni-
balls there. Still they would no doubt
refuse him as they prefer to eat those of
ether races than one Of themselves.
