SECRETS OF LONGEVITY.
The Care OF Ourselves IL an ImDo,

(he Care OF Ourselves IL an ImD0rs

DR.. A. II. Grandin, New York spc
cialist. believes that longevity depends
solely upon the sction Of the heart.
The heart" he says. is the nearest
approach known 70 man to that dream

ing Of his own fate"
For the consolation Of those whose
fathers or mothers may have died
young, it should be said that many
authorities maintain that hereditary
tendencies come, TO great extent, from
the grandparents. and evec from pre-
vious ancestors. so that, IL there has
been good average of long life in past
generations, the fact that early death
in the case OF the father OF mother need
not be Of serious consequence.
One of the most interesting opinions
that obtained in regard 20 the chances
OF long life came from Nicola Tesla,
that sleep has much 30 do with the
matter.
"a man has been given a certain term
o. life" said Mr.. Tesla, so many hours
e pass on this earth--I mean hours
when he is alive-swake; do not count
the hours when he is sleeping; do not
believe they are. strictly speaking. in
Guided in his term of life. When a man
really lives be is dying hoar By hour.
but when he sleeps he Is accommodating
vital forces which will make him go
on living. In other words. in measur~
ing out our dole of hours TO each ons
OF US, the great timekesper stops his
count while we are sleeping. There
fore. the longer a man sleeps the longer
ne viii remain on earth. Nearly all
longlived people have been great sleep
ers. When De Lesseps was on the ocean
he would sleep 90 hours on a stretch.
Gladstone is great sleeper. and av-
that a man who would learn 20 sleep
IS hours a day might live 200 years"
This idea seems a little fantastic, but
It should be said that so great an au-
thority as Prof F. ". Warner. In a re-

the freedom of Cuba, then there comes
change in the markets for tropical fruits;
and so through the entire list of things
upon which the President gives an annual
opinion
To know a day in advance just what the
message will be would mean fortune to
any Wall street broker, and for that rea-
son great sums have been offered to the
people into whose hands the message is
iutrusted. George Washington was so
very particular about this message that
he wrote it all with his own hand, which
was a remarkably clear one, as you can
see by searching the archives of the capt.
tai. He occasionally called to his assist
aoce his cabinet, and allowed them 10
write a few pages which he afterward
copied, but outside of these high dignita-
ries no one knew aught about the message.
ON the day Of the converting of congress,
Washington attended the opening of the
House in person and read his message
from the vice presidents chair In his day
10 suspicion of the message ever leaked
out before.
The Presidents would probably have
been reading their messages personally to
congress until this day had it not been
for James Madison who was a poor read
or and hesitated over his words. He was
sensitive about his delivery and employed
clerk to read the message for him.
The matter is now conducted by Mr..
Ifuden, the executive clerk of the House.
"Aeu congress convenes the first Monday
81 December messenger is sent to ask the
President if he has any sugges tons to
make. In reply Pruden drives over with
the official document in his hand. He al
ways takes the same route, passing by the
Monument of Peace, and arrives at the
capitol within an incredibly short time af-
ter lac is sent for. He approaches the
sle4kers desk and says Il am directed
by ne President of the United States to
oliver a message in writing" after which
the message is read.
As soon as the reading begins printed
copies are distributed to the members of
'o House. who can follow them as the
clerk reads. Many slip out at this time and

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT,
The Document Is Ready and Congress Will
Soon Hear 1t.
About Ha
Forms Preserved

Washington, Nov. 27.-President McKin-
ley's message is ready for congress. Its
last stroke was penned some time ago, and
the government printers have been at
work upon it for days, getting it in shape
for the public press.
The President wrote his message with
his own hand, laboriously penning each
thought and afterWard putting it in shape
for his typewriter to copy. He asked ad-
vice of his cabinet, but he did not ask
their assistance in writing it, and the
message which has just been completed
Is as much the work of one man as is pos
sible for it to be.
OF all the epistles that pass out to the
public, none has about it the secrecy that
is employed in getting up the Presidents
message. All news of it is kept absolutely
inviolate and there can only be conjectures
as TO what it will be.
The day before the Presidents MESA ge
IS read there is always a depression of
stocks in Wall street. and both bulls and
bears take nap, waiting for the develop
ments of the following day. Should the
President express his opinion in favor of
Hawaiian annexation, the sugar and spice
interests are affected. Shouldahe favor
