HOW TO LIVE LONG.
Marriage Is the Pros oription of a Distin-
guished Berlin Physician.

Some curious figures have lately
been made public by q celebrated Ber-
lin physician. which seem to point to
the fact that if man wants to live long
and preserve his health and strength
he ought to marry. Among unmarried
men between the ages of 30 and As,
says Spare Moments, the death rate is
81 per cent. Among married men be-
tween the same ages it is only IS per
cent. For Al bachelors who live 20 be
40 years of age, IS married men tri-
umphantly arrive at the same period.
The difference gets all the more marked
as time goes on. At go years of age
there arc only % bachelors to As mar
ried men; at 20 there are ii bachelors
TO 81 who were married, and by the time
they reach 90 the married men are
three TO one, for there are nine of them
to every three bachelorsi And yet, in
the face of facts like these, we still find
men daring to remain single. 1t really
is rs much as their lives are worth. if
they only come TO think of il. Men
may talk of their lives being shortened
by domestic worries and anxieties and
cares. That is all rubbish. Statistics
must tell the truth, and these statistics
of the Berlin doctor say that the uan
who is a bachelor stands in far greater
risk of shortened span.

Result of Earnest Work.
The gross returns of the benefit
given to the Maternity Home and
Y. H. /. by the Wirth circus COM
pany, amounted to 1875 so. This
is smaller than one would imagine,
considering the number of people
that were present but it may be
readily accounted for, by the fact
that there were a great many fifty
cent and twenty-cent tickets sold.
The expenses of the entertain
ment, including everything was
1894 leaving net balance of
$5O1 so to be divided between the
two organizations. The expenses
were double what they would have
been if the benefit had taken place
when first advertised, but it was

A word about pillows. There is
no denying that down is the fore
ordained material for the filling of
of the dainty covers, but feathers,
floss and pull have their advocates.
The shapes are bewildering and
various enough to please the most
exacting esthete. The wide silk
ruffles are making their farewell
bows-quite elbowed out of sight by
the smart corners decked out with
knots or rosettes of lace and ribbon.

Consider the lesson of your beat
ing heart, o busy woman 1t
works without ceasing but not
without resting. For every throb
it has a nap that is only a fraction
of a second in length, to be sure,
but long enough to gather its
strength anew to beat again. The
counsel of rest between the heart
throbs is what | give you today.
1t is a serious matter, this one of
resting as you GO along. If there
were a census taken of weary
women In Honolulu, l believe
many would be catalogued as can
4idates for the rest cure, that fav-
erite panacea. Why, incredible as
it seems, / have known of a six
months old infants taking the
rest cure to escape from her doat-
ing friends and nervous prostra-
ton No, / do not tell you to 60
East. But stay at home, and learn
to rest between the heart beats.
In the first place, you must stop
talking. Control your tongue and
your nerves will care for them
selves. When you must talk, do
so in a low tone, especially at the
telephone. But ware phone, too.
And never, as you respect your
nervous system, talk in a moving
car. Make resting easy. Insist
on comfortable gowns, fashioned so
that you can slip into them in a
minute and yet not look thrown
together. Have enticing books and
magazines about your tables, and
read them in loose empire gown
or a holoku that rejuvenates with
the putting on. Then, if you Guilt
vate the seductive cosy corner and
take not one daily nap but six of
them, you will not need to expend
hu 1dreds on Clifton Springs or
Weir Mitchell, and you will even
be able to live in beautiful, busy
Honolulu.

I There is considerable philosophy
in the cosy corner craze. 1t puts
the sugar coating on the bitter field
of rest. 1t sets for us a resting
trap in every possible room and
corner. The cosy nook is useful,
ornamental and may be inexpen-
sive and so within everybody's
reach. 1t is an opportunity for
the aesthetic home-maker. 1t is a
convenient method of inveigling
hurrying mortals into resting a
moment, despite their busy selves.
Cosy corners are as needful as your
dining table or your china closet,
if you value home comfort and
good temper; and you are not
frivolous in considering these cases
in the desert of WEAKNESS.
