The Secret of Longevity.

Sir Isaac Holden, who died in hi

man with theories According to him
the two great essentials for those wht
would live long and be healthy are
plenty OF fresh air and plenty of fruit
His rule was never, if he could help it.
to spend less than two hours day in
the open air When he entered his frs
situation, he said to his employer that
he would be glad to have an hour daily
in the afternoon for walk. If granted,
he would not ask for any holiday, OF
would make up otherwise for the time
SO spent. This was agreed to. Sir Isaac
took his walk daily and to this, he
used to say, he owed both health and
fortune.
But though in addition to fresh air
he believed in plenty of fruit, Sir Isaac
was not a vegetarian. 1t was not meat,
but bread, from which he abstained.
Like Wesley, whose Natural Philoso-
ply" he studied when a boy, he saw in
farinaceouss food a thing to be avoided
by the elderly. Il take for my break
fast, - he said a few years ago, "a baked
apples an orange, 90 grapes and bis
cult made from bananas. My midday
meal consists of about three ounces of
beef or mutton, with now and again a
half cupful of soup If l take little
fish, | take SO much less of meat. For
supper | practically repeat my breakfast
menu. " The orange was his favorite
fruit Wine he eschewed, but on re-
turning from the house of commons to
Queen Anne's mansions he had tum-
bier of whisky and hot water before GO
ing to bed He took no drink with his
food, and this obliged him to masticate
well. He smoked two OF three cigars a
day, from which he used to say that he
derived both comfort and benefit.

Only ten more days of life for our asso-
citation, then the Young Mems Christian
association OF Bellows Falls will be thing
OF the past. What does this meanp 1t
means that about rs boys and young men
who now visit the reading room and parlor
each day will have to remain a. home even
ings or be on the streets. 1t means that
greater responsibility will be thrown
upon the mothers. They will then be
obliged to look after their boys more
closely. 1t means that an average of four
travellers per day, who nov visit the rooms
while waiting for trains, will have to seek
another place and that the young men who
come to work in our shops and want desira.
BILE boarding houses will no longer have q
Y MICA. secretary to call upon for assist.

HORSE DROWNED.
Bodine & Davis Lose Valuable Horse at
the DUMB

the Dump
On Tuesday, shortly before noon, Joseph
Diggins, in the employ of Bodine & Davis,
started for the dump below the mills with a
load of scrap iron and tin. At the dump
the driver attempted to drive close enough
to the edge to enable him to shovel the
scraps from the wagon, but in SO doing he
got too close and the wagon began to
settle. This frightened the horse and it
sprang over the bank and in moment
both horse and wagon were out of sight.
The frightened driver summoned help
but the water being between 20 or 80 feet
deep, made it impossible to attempt res
cuiDg the wagon until raft had been built.
After noon the search began. Lee Royce
with long line began fishing; when the
hook touched bottom he never failed to get
bite, but unfortunately it was dead tree
or telegraph wire-the horse didn't bite.
Mr. Royce did not fish long ere he hooke d
part of the harness aud within an hour
after the work began the entire outfit, in
GLIDING shovel, whip, seat, etc., we're
landed on shore with no damage done ex-
cept to the horse.
1t was an unfortunate and costly acct
dent to the firm; yet they were fortunate
in recovering the wagon and harness in
good condition. The horse was valued at
about 800.
