And his gratitude to those who had
faith in his genius and stood by him

tickets. Suddenly an old Polish Jew
stepped into the office, put ruble upon
the counter and said, "Give me half a

"This my first paying hearer," thus
explains Rubinstein, "filled me with
snch unbounded delight that when few

THE SECRET or LONG LIFE.
some Speculation Of tho Aged ~ 10 What
IL May he.

IL May Be.
M. Barthelemy St. HilMre, the "a
nous French scholar and politician who
recently entered on his ninetieth year
full of physical and intellectual vigor,
has been telling the inevitable inter
viewer how it is his days have been so
long in the land. II Is, We are told, the
effect of adherence to the old preoept,
"early to bed and early to rise, y" with
steady work during waking hours
Every grand old man seems to have
. secret of his own. Mr.. Gladstone, we
believe, attributes his longevity to his
habitof taking daily walk in all wealth
ers and to his giving SO bites to every
morsel Of food. Oliver Wendell Holmes
pinned his faith on equability Of tenn
perature. The late Major Knox Holmes
swore by the tricycle., which, in the end,
was the cause of his death. DR.. P. H.
Van der Weyde, an American octogena-
rian, not long ago offered himself ''as
an example Of the benign influence of
the study and practice Of music, Some
aged persons give the credit of their
long lives to the absence Of tobacco, al
cohol, meat or what not, others to their
Indulgence in all these things. One old
lady, Of whom we read not long ago as
having reached the age Of 30 or there
abouts, maintained that single blessed
ness Is the real elixir vitw, and she
ascribed the death Of her brother at the
tender age of 90 to the fact that he had
committed matrimony in early life.
M. Ferdinand dc Lesseps believed in
horpe riding. Mr.. James Bayn COM
plains that in his boyhood he "got lit
tie bored with too much horse" The
grand Frahcais seems to think that one
Can hardly have ''too much horse. " In
q letter recently published M. dc Les
seps delivered himself on the subject as
follows: 81 shall always feel deeply
grateful to Larine, my riding master,
who, from my earliest years, made me
share his keen passion for horses, and
am still convinced that daily horse ex.
ercise has in large measure been the
means Of enabling me to reach my
eighty fourth year in perfect health. "
Carlyle was also great rider, almost
to the end of his long life and he not
only rode, but, we believe, groomed his
horse himself.
On the whole, it must be concluded
that the real secret Of longevity Is Q
sound constitution prudently husband
cd. The only general rules that can b.
laid down are those set forth by Adam
in "As You Like It,"
Though look old, yet am strong and ii1sty.
For in my youth nevsr did apply
Hot and rebcllious liquor In my blood,
Nor did not with unbashful forehead WOO
The means of weakness and debility.
Therefore my age Is as lusty winter
Frosty, but kinlly.
That is the whole secret Of long life
