The Fairmont Index speaking
in opposition to a constitutional con.

other things says:
1.-The average Legislature is com.
posed ofjust as good material as q
Constitutional Convention would be
and it is just as capable of framing
amendments 20 the constitution as a
convention would be to change the
entire instrument To us the better
plan seems to be for the Legislature
to pass such amendments as appear t.
be demanded, and submit these
amendments to the people at time
when each amendment could be act.
ed on inteIligently, and BE- free from

Legislature to pass such amend.
meuis rs appear to be demanded -
Why, the average Legislature can
hardly pass an appropriation bill.
But few years ago the Legislature
adjourned without making the neces.
sary appropriations, and it was nee
cssary for the Governor to call an
extra session. The confusion and
wia"gles Of the Legislature just adj
journed DIES not indicate that any
wholesome amendments to our consti-
tuition will ever eniuato from the
law.naking department. Possibly
it would be 40 better in constitu-
Unal convention.

Questions OF Health.

The popular notion that an athlete,
because of his athleticism, is healthy
man is a delusive one. Muscular de-
velopment is not an affair of the con-
stitution; it is an accident. Strong
limbs and a weak heart are not infre-
quently associates Many a strong
man" dies prematurely of consump-
ton. If health may be defined as
capacity for holding on to life, then in
many cases the weaklings are the
healthiest. If such definition is ac-
curate, women are healthier than
men; their average length of days is
greater than ours. But it is doubtful
if centenarians, merely because they
are centenarians, are the healthlest.
/ knew a case of a woman, who recent
~ died at sthe age of one hundred and
five, who was slightly paralyzed, even
as child, and who was practically
completely so for more than seventy
years Could such a one have ever
been correctly described as healthy?
Tt Is as hard to say what life is as to
say what health is, and the way in
which unhealthy folks are tenacious of
