How to Live Long.

By reason of certain articles in the daily papers, Punch has been inun- dated with letters rom host of cor respondents who beg him to observe the rules by which they have attained longevity, but at the same time he finds t difficult to follow the advice of all. 'SeptuageuaI1an," for instance, urges him to become q vegetarian. "On no account touch meat It Is poison. For the last fifty years I have dincd on boiled onion. and Supped off a pint of lentil porridge." '0ctogenarian." on the other hand, urges him ito eat, drink and be merry as much and as often as you please. l find there Is nothing like a good dinner, followed by theater, and supper with plenty of champagne, to put me Tn real good form" "Non- aGenarian" declares that "tha secret of long life lies in q cold tub bath taken every morning. winter and summer, with unfa!ling regularity" 'Centena- rian," again. writes: Beware of soap and water-they spell death. For my part, have only had bath once in my life, when I went to the workhouse and could not help myself. The result was caught Il chill from which nearly died.' "IIome-bird'' ayers that she owes her eighty years of happiness to matrimony. Gay Dog of Ninety says: Half a century ago I was to marry, when I suddenly remembered your advice" Blue Ribbon" argues that none but teetotalers can, or de- serve to, attain to old age. 'Liver," on the contrary, writes, ''rhere Is nothing like good liquor to preserve man. 'Trishman" writes, If 'tis long ye're wantin to live, ye must begin over agin. 'Tis all question of heredity, 1t Is. Ye must choose yer own feyther an mother an see they coon from a long-liyed stock, m that's the only way at all, at a1l." If 1t were not for the initial object that he Is already born, and the further difficulty of se
 lecting your parents before you your self have any existence, Punch would be Inclined to believe that "I11shman" had hit the nail on the head; but for the present these two obstacles seem insuperable. For the rest, as 1t is man ifestly impossible to adopt the advice of all, be has decided to continue in his old habits and to take hls chance of long life with his neighborS.

rom l1GlltCOHc Ancestry.
 Primitive man, being by nature n fighting animal fought, for the most part at first, with his canine teeth, his nails and his fists, till in process of time he added to those early and natural weapons the further persuaslons of club or shillalah.
 He fought, as Darwin has conclusive ly shown, mainly for the possession of ladies of his kind, against other mem bers of his own sex and species. If you fight you soon learn to protect the most exposed and vulnerable portion of your body. Or, if you don't, natural selec- ton manages 1t for you, by killing you off as an immediate consequence.
 To the boxer, wrestler, or hand-to- hand combatant. the most vulnerable portion is undoubtedly the heart. A hard blow, well delivered, on the left breast, will easily kill
 Hence, from m early period men have used the right hand to fight with and have employed the left arm chiefly to cover the heart and to parry blow aimed at that specially vulnerable re- zion. And when weapons of Offense and defense supersede mere fists and teeth, 1t Is the right hand that grasp5 the spear or sword, whl4e the left 4Iold5 over the heart, for defense, the sheld or buckler.
 From this simple origin, then, the whole vast difference of right and left fin civilized life takes it's beginning. At first the superiority of the right hanl was only felt in tho manner of fighting. But that alone gave 1t a distinct pull, and paved the way at Last for the su- premacy elsewhere. For when weap- ons came Into use the habitual employ ment of the right hand to grasp the spear, sword or knife, made the nerves Or muscles of the right side far more obedient to the control of the will thal those of the left.
 The dexterity thus acquired by the rfght-see how the word ''dexterity" implies this fact-made 1t more natural for the early hunter and artiticer to em- ploy the same hanu in the manufacture of flint hatchets, bows and arrows, and all other manifold activities of savage life. It was the hand with which he grasped his weapon; 1t was therefore the hand with which he clipped it. The right hand remains especially tho hand in which you hold your knife;' and that Is how your children decide tho question which is which when they be- gin to know their right hand from their left for practical urposes.-Saturday Evening Post.
