whatever increases the action of the
heart. One has just SO many heart
beats to count on, and if for some time
these are increased in number, the time
is shortened. The heart is often ham,
pered by too great q load of fat around
il, and on this account the use of
starchy and oily food is to be kept sub
ject to the actual needs of the system, to
be judged by each individual Over
eating is a grave fault at any time, but
far worse in old age; the effect of it is
to excite the heart TO irregular action
and it is better to restrain the appetite
than TO let it run to excess in anything

Not From Syracuse.

/ was standing in front of the New
York Times building the other day
when a man walked up to me and said:
Il may be mistaken, but amt you
James Brown of Syracuse?"
l looked him over and sized him up
for some sort of beat and replied in
the negative.
$50 you are not Brown, eh?"
NO, sir
Don't live in SYRACUSE"
mo, sir
He expected I would give him my
name. but l didn't. Ten minutes later,
just as / had crossed Broadway, a man
touched my arm and said:
Excuse me, but 1 have a favor to
ask
Well"
I'm dead broke and want half a dol
lar to get over to Paterson"
But what have to do with that?'
why, we are acquaintances from the
same town and / thought you might be
willing to help me a bit"
How acquaintance? What town am
I from and what's my name?"
well, your name isn't Brown and
you are not from Syracuse!" he replied.
Just then l caught sight of the man
who had addressed me on Park row
and understood how it was. 1t was a
tramp bunlso game, but they failed to
get me down fine-Detroit Free Press.

OUR DECLINING YEARS.
How to ProlOng Life After Sixty
five is Passed.

| Nine-te tenths of the leading men and
women in the world-those who are
making history for the future-are over
| fifty years of age. But, as a rule, this
may be taken as the age after which
one is old. And it depends after that
time how the person cares for him or
herself, whether the span of old age may
last forty, thirty or less than twenty
years At fifty-five three-fourths of
the people have passed beyond the river.
Twenty three out of a hundred of per-
sons older than fifty, left, pass away
| before the age of eighty-five, leaving
only per cent. surviving at this age
From sixty-five to seventy-fve is the
most fatal period of this last span. So
that those who have reached the age
of sixty-five, have in their own hands
in a great measure whether they shall
survive to seventy-five, and then have
better chance than the average to live
on to the next ten-year stage.
1t is not saying too much, by any
means, to assert that one who has
reached siXty-five may easily survive
to the next decennial period by the ex-
ercise of the tight prudential means.
These include the enjoyment of pure air;
well-balanced, easy mind and free
dom from cares and worry; good food
of the right kind; moderate climate;
the sustenance of bodily warmth; per-
sonaI cleanliness; avoiding every ex-
hausting physical labor; yet the taking
of such exercise as one has been used
| to, but never to the extent of painful
WEAKNESS. Rest is Indispensable; the
sleep should be at least ten or twelve
hours every day To avoid sudden
| changes from hot to cold, dry to moist
| air, the constant wearing of sufficient
wooden underclothing; the use of simple
medicines to preserve all the bodily
functions in an evenly, healthful condi-
/ ton, or to secure this by the use of the
right foods of which fruit should be
OF the largest part; the avoidance of
strong coffee, tobacco or alcohol in any
thing like excess, even comparatively;
to masticate the food perfectly, and if
the teeth have failed, to prepare the
food by thorough communion of it,
and\to eat it slowly that the supply of
saliva the first of the digestive fluids,
may be copiOus; to eat often, and little
at time-of meats especially for the
protein is most needed, and the carbo-
hydrates least, on account of the need
to sustain all the vital organs in their
most effective condition; for it is on
these that the aged depend mostly, the
wastes of the tissues that depend on the
carbo- bo-hydrates for their renewal being
the least as long as the body is kept
warmly clothed and the breathing of
very cold air is avoided.
The excretory organs are to be pre-
served in effective action, and the skin.
which is the most important of.these, if
one may be so described, should be kept
in the fullest action by frequent bath
ing in the evening and a dry rubbing in
the morning. A little muscular exercise
before retiring at night, and a tepid
sponge bath will greatly aid in procur-
ing that rest which old persons need,
but often fail to get as they would wish.
Violent exercise is to be avoided, and

AN UNHAPPY WOMAN.

self. IF | were not a new woman

She tore up the second circular, de-
cided to let the country go to the bow
vows as far as she was concerned, and
accepted Toms invitation to go to the

MOTHER,

Life is over. Death is sweet
Lay the lilies at her feet.
Meet they rest upon her bier
She who walked among them here
Gently fold her wasted hands
Smooth the hair in silver bands
Ger the brow where lines of care
Time has wrought so gently fair
Calm and still. no wild alarm
Stirs the heart whose sweetest charm
Lies beneath the churchyard sod
She had known the widows God
Weary grew her eyes and dim.
Mourning day by day for him.
While she watched and waited long
For the angels greeting song.
Oft when worn with grief and pain.
Could we feel her touch again:
Ii would calm the aching brow:
But no sigh she heedeth now.
When we sink in deaths last sleep.
Other eyes the watch must keep
Der her children'S dreamleSS bed
Other eyes the tears must shed.
But we could not call her back
More to tread life'S dusty track.
She hath done her life work We'll,
Let the lily petals tell.
