YOUTH RENEWED.
What the oiaxic of Modern science IIas
Accomplished.

What th. Siaxie of Modern science Has
Accomplished
AT n recent meeting of a medical as
ISOLATION in Philadelphia one of the
speakers drew attention TO the signif-
cant facts hat the average length
of life is increasing and hat the period
of activity, "a which the bes, work is
accomplished, with both men and
women is extending. The advance of
sanitary and hygicnic science, says the
Baltimore American, has offered fair
prospect To the average man and
woman for increase of days, and mod
crn invention, by lessening the wear
II tear entailed by the discomforts of
former generations, has still further
prevented the waste of vitality and
ncrvous energy. Life is also length
ened in another way, by the fact that
time is minimized, and that travel and
all necessary communication now take
up a m~aryciously short space Of modern
life, leaving so much more time to de-
vote 10 other objects that the practical
effect Is to d more days to ones ac-
count.
With this increase of life and this
extension of activity n man is far
Younger to-day han his ancestors were

times has literally performed that i'm
possible miracle Of Oldcn times and

This Is the way the Denver Repub-
hcan puts il: II the Mint officials at
Washington would pay more attention
TO tie real duties OF their Office and
waste less time in trying to iuggle
with their figures and falsify facts to
sustain the absurd and destructive
single gold standard. they would have
discovered the robbery going on at
the Carson Mint long ago. or late
years the statistics furnished by the
Director Of the United States Mint
regarding the production of gold and
silver and the amount VI gold in the

false notwithstanding and We are sur-
prised that Congress has not taken
