How to PrOIong Life.

Certain foreign experts have recently investigated the matter of longevity. but their researches have added nothing def mite. to the general stock of information
 Ut has been stated that a MT. Pugh lived to be 93 and never used either to- bacco or whisky. Old man Lowell used both in moderation, and at the age of 103 told Pugh tha. "a leetle sperrits" would prolong his life twenty years. Who knows anything about it? Some persons require artificial stfmulants, while others find liquor and tobacco ranl1 posons Beer hurts some and helps others.
 The late w. c. Carpenter, a New York lawyer, at rthe age of 94. a.tributed his long life to plenty of sleep and plenty of good whisky" But good whisky is a rare article. and perhaps it does not ex- ist No whisky is better than doubtful brand. or too much of amy brand.
 The New York Press shows considerable interest i'm the discussion of uhe points brought out by the experts. who have been studying the habits of old men, and 1t comes 10 the front with the following:
 The Southern papers inform us that Dr. Charles E. Mooney, of Lexington, Ky, now halo and hearty in his seventy-third year. has taken twenty drinks of whiskey a day for fifty years, and a reasonable com putation shows that he has drunk in that time over u.0o0 gallons of the tempter He declares that he has never been under the influence of liquor; that he has never gone so far to forget that he was Kentucky gentleman. Twenty drinks in twenty four hours are not extraordinay. We have heard of men in New York, far from the blue grass and mountain dew, who can drink forty drinks day and never forget that they are gentlemen. Dr. Mooney probably has the established record for long ser vice at the bottle. His consumption at fifteen cents a drink would have cost him nearly S55, 000--a comfortable fortune in Kentucky He drank after the man ner of the average Southern colonel; that is, he did not go on sprees lasting a week then sober up for a similar period, but kept himself comfortably charged at all hours of the day and night
 While the contemporary is not altogeth- CT serious, 1t can be stared that the av- craze southerner has been slandered by outsiders in regard co his drinking habits.

Tesla's Wireless Telography.a

From the Chicago Tribune.
 As far as Tesla has gone into his experl- ments his theories have all been demon- strated, and he confidently asserts that he has gone far enough to be convinced that these theories can be applied to any dis tance. The idea is dazzling one. although it's commercial value is not apparent. Such a scheme of sending messages could not be private, and, moreover. the messages would naturally be limited to the simplest eX- pressions. The most that has been claimed for the idea up to the present time is that it would place the nations in simultaneous communication with each other, and thus enable all to be informed of great events at onee If will be necessary to await NJ.

Good For the Farmers,

T The New York Commercial Advertiser jubilant1y remarks:
 Attention has been riveted so generally upon the sharp rise in the price of wheat that it seems to have escaped notice that sother farm products have increased In price also. "All along the line," as Sec- retary Wilson of the agricultural depart ment expresses 1t, marked improvement in the value of commodities has taken place. and notably so with cattle, sheep, and hogs. A rough estimate puts the increase in price of farm products at S500, ,000, 600. This is a stupendous sum. It is nearly equal to the nations interest-bearing debt. It is considerably more than the entire volume of ''greenbacks" now in existence or the entire mass of standard silver dol Jars coined since the foundation of the re- public. It is almost equal to the combined capital of all the national banks in the United States.
 This is very encoura ging view of the situation, except to those among the farmers who have to buy their meat, corn, wheat and hay, but these are grow ing fewer every year There is one draw back, however. The new tariff bill taxes the necessaries of Ffe. and the only way fon the farmers to head it off is to con- tinue their economical mode of living. This they can do, and still enjoy many of the comforts of life.
