CHANCES OF LONGEVITY.
Tho Primary Conditions Necessary to Q
Long and Healthy Life.

The Primary Conditions Necessary to {
Long and Healthy Life.
In discussing longevity at the Academy
Of Science recently Mr.. F. W. Warner said
that doctor could look at patient g
hand and tell by the signs shown there
whether he would live or die.
1.-THE primary conditions of longevity, +"
The Medical Record quotes Mr.. Warner as
saying. "are that the heart, lungs and d.
gestive organs, as well as The brain, should
be large. II these organs are large, the
trunk will be long and the limbs compare
lively short. The person will appear tall
In sitting and short In standing. The
hand will have long and somewhat
heavy palm and short fingers. The brain
will be deeply seated, as shown by the orr
fee OF the ear being low. The blue hazel
or brown hazel eye, as showing an inter
mission Of temperament, is favorable in
dication. The nostrils that are large open
anS free indicate large lungs A pinched
and hclf closed nostril indicates small or
weak lungs.
SIN the ,,ase of persons who have short
lived parentag. on one side and long lived
on the other SIDE the question becomes
more involved. 1t ts S.hown in grating
and hybridizins that nature Ia. lakes su-
preme effort to pass the period of the .r'hort-
er ionSAvity and extend the life to tho
greater longevity. Any one who under
stands these weak and dangerous periods
of life is forewarned and forearmed 1t has
been observed that the children of long
lived parents mature much later and are
usually backward In their studies.

Eyelashes Made to Order.

In fashionable hairtlressing parlor on
one Of the down town streets one reads the
sign "Eyelashes made to order"
~ do not know that there Is anything
particularly novel about 1t, said the blond
young woman, who was asked for infor-
nation. "Wo have done this sort Of work
for months"
"And have you many patrons in that
line?''
mot SO many as we have In the other
branch of our business--the removal Of
hair or wrinkles by means Of electricity
but still we have some.'
And then she explained tho process of
making artificial eyelashes A n exceeding
ly delicate little instrument is used 1t
consists of needle operated through a
spring by means of the finger. At one end
Of the needle Is a hair inserted. When the
operator Is ready to work on the person,
she takes the eyelid between two fingers
on the loft hand. The needle il then thrust
into the fieshy part Of the eyelid, as close
to the eye as possible, and the tiny hairs
are actually sewed on.
Eyelashes thus manufactured are war.

The Unit OF Heat.

We cannot, Of course, measure heat by
yards, pints or pounds, but the unit OF
heat, the standard measure Of that phe-
domenon, has been agreed upon by those
whose business IL Is to philosophize on that
subject to be that quantity which can
raise pound Of water one degree. Now,
to turn pound of water into pound OF
steam II requires 967 of these units of heat
that is to say. IL wo boil pound of wa
tci until 1t all goes away In steam, we
shall have used In doing 30 a quantity OF
heat which would have raised 987 pounds
ol lynter one degree higher in temperature.

Nut meats are used mostly for oonfec

for domestic use, for home cake aud oand,

shelled by patented machines Of ingenious
construction, varying In their methods OF
operation according to the kinds Of nuts
for which they are designed. Suoh nuts,
for example, as pecans and English wal
nuts tho meats Of which are formed In
substantially uniform halves are fed into
hoppers from which they fall singly be-
tween knives SO arranged that they cut
only the shell, without cutting or marring
the meat. From the cutters the nuts drop
upon a sitter, constantly shaken, where
the shells are shaken clear of the mea ts
and thrown of. The nut meats are left
entire, and they are seldom broken The
meats are then separated into halves to re-
move the thin partition that divides the

cut the ends from the nut The structure
OF the Brazil nut shell Is such that all or
the greater part Of the shell is usually de-
tached by the operation Of cutting off the
ends. Whatever may remain is cut off
with knives by hand. Hickory nuts are
cracked In machines. 1t Is impossible to
get whole meats; there are likely to be
some halves, but hickory meats are usual
ly In fragments.
The various nut meats, when they have
been taken from the shells, are put
through drying process In blowers to re-
move superfluous moisture. Tho meats
keep better when properly dried Nut
meats packed for domestic uses are put up
In half pound and pound paper boxes.
The usual commercial packages Of nut
meats are e5 pound and 90 pound boxes
and barrels containing about 100 pounds.

Two OF the principa! speakers on the
program for the Epworth League mass
meeting at Waugh Chapel last night, DR..
Hugh Johnston and Rev. Oln Eldridge
were sick, but il was nevertheless an en-
thusiastc affair, lasting nearly three hours.
The house was we'll filled and the speeches
We're bright and crisp.
Rev. I. J. Clark, first vice president of
the District League, conducted the exer-
cises. while Fourth Vice President William
J. Palmer directed the song service, which
formed the opening feature. Devotional
exercises were led by Rev. Charles L. Pate,
pastor of the North Capitol Methodist
Church. Miss Gertrude Dana of Waugh
Chapter and MT Palmer sang solos, while
spirited congregational singing was in
terspersed freely throughout the meeting
Instead OF the addresses by MIR. Eldridge
and DR.. Johnston there were flVe-nhtute
talks by Presiding Elder Luther B. Wilson
ana other leaders and minute talks from the
ranks.
Dr. Wilson told a story of young lady
who is in private school here. She
met a graduate of Johns Hopkins at an
evening entertainment and he talked to
her for half an hour.
He preached no sermon. He simply talked
to the girl uEon the assumption that she
was thoughtful, earnest student. She had
been careless and was spending her time
unprofitably. She became at once one
OF the most Jealous and brightest pupils
IN the school, standing at the head OF her
classes.
When Mr.. Clark called for fifty short
talks in ten minutes he got very nearly that
number in a rapid fire of scriptural quota
tions and expressions OF personal aspira-
tion and devotion.

work for the fourth conference, announced
that there would be conference mass
