THE SECRET OF LONGEVITY
Sir James sawyer's SGT OF Rules 10
prolong Life.

Sir James sawysr's Set OF Rules to
rrolong Life.
From the London News: What Is
the secret Of longevity? Sir James
Sawyer has been confiding it to Birln-
ingham audience. Like so many otnei
secrets, it consists in paying atten-
ton to a number Of small detalis.
Here is schedule of them, collected
from the reports of Sir James Sawyer s
lecture: /. Eight hours sleep. q
Sleep on your right side. 3. Keep your
bedroom window open all night. T.
Have a mat to your bedroom door. o.
Do not have your bedstead against the
wall. 6. No cold tub in the mornlns'
but a bath at the temperature OF tue
body. Z. Exercise before breakfast. ).
Eat little meat and see that 1t IS well
cooked. 9. (For adults)-Drink no
milk. 10. Eat plenty of fat, to zee"
the cells which destroy disease germs.
II. Avoid intoxicants, which destroy
those cells. u. Daily exercise in the
open air. 10. Allow no pet animals III
your living rooms. They are apt TO
carry about disease germs. II. Live
in the country if you can. 10. Watch
the three Ds-drinking water, damp
and drains 16. Have change OF occ"-
patton. II. Take frequent and snort
holidays. 49, Limit your ampltion.
and, 10, keep your temper. Keep all
these commandments, and Sir James
Sawyer sees no reason why you should
not live to be 100. An interesting
point in vital statistics was lncldeh-
tally brought out by Sir James saw.
yer, the death rate during the last zoo
years has been enormously decreased
but the decrease has all been between
the ages of birth and IS. Those VINO
passed that age had not so good
chance of living as the people VINO
lived 200 years ago. The meaning was
that now the weaklings among the
young were less easily killed on thaa
they were geo years ago. with re-
gard to those of IS, those who lived III
the olden days had the advantage tha'
there were no telephones, kilograms
trains. daily share lists, or daily news
papers.

WOMAN'S INFLUENCE.
Her Love Ia More Reasonable AM
Therefore, Less Than 1t Used to Be-

Her Love Ia More Reasonable and,
Therefore, Less Than 1t Used to Be.
A Swedish writer, Frau Hanson, IN
her "Das Buch der Frauen,' thus oe-
scrbes the relation between modern
men and women: 1T is peculiar sign
of the times that in spite Of the many
restrictions of former days men ana
women have never stood wider apart
than at present and have never under
stood one another more badly than
now. The honest, unselfish sympathy,
the true, should like to say organical,
union, which is still to be observed
in the married life of old people,
seems to have vanished. Each goes MS
or her own way. There may be nerv-
Gus search for each other and snort
finding, but it is soon followed by
speedy losing. Is it the men who are
to blame? The men of former days
were doubtless very different, but In
their relations to women they were
scarcely more social than at present.
| Or is it the women who are at fault!
For some time past have watched LIE
in its many phases and have come TO
the conclusion that it is the woman
who either develops the mans charac-
ter or ruins it. His mother and the Wo-
man to whom he unites himself leave
an everlasting mark upon the impress
sional side of his nature. In most
cases the final question is not, What
is the man like? but. What KIND OF
woman is she? And I think that the
answer is as follows: A woman's ac'
tons are more reasonable than they
used to be, and her love is also moro
reasonable. The consequence is les
sening of the passion that is hers te
give. which again results in a CORE
spending GOODNESS on the part OF the
man"

Authorization of Dress Silks.

An English chemist has recently
analysed sample of silk dress that
was submitted to him by lady. He
found that it contained only fraction
over % per cent of silk, and as much
tin was found in it as that present in
Door tie ores from Cornwall. The tin
occurs in the so-called weighing of
the silk. The chemist states that he
at once realized the fact that the silk
dresses worn by the ladies in Regent
street and Bond street, London, taken
together, would represent Cornish
tin-mine of very fair quality. He was
informed by an expert that the silk
he had examined would not stand more
than three months steady wear.

said the husband of the Emancipated

over and kissed his wife fondly. It was
easy to see that they were deeply at
tached to each other.
That's all right" replied the Eman-

the cheek. "Y0u are dear, good boy
and you shall have that new silk hat
you have been wanting so long. Now,

Girls your every day toilet is a
part of your character. A girl
who looks like a fury or sloven in |
the morning is not to be trusted,
however finely she may look in the
evening. No matter how humble |
your room may be there arc eight
things it should contain viz; a
washstand, soap towel, comb hair
tooth and nail brushes and a
mirror. These are just as essen
tial as your breakfast, before which
you should make good and free
use Of them. Parents who fail to
provide children with such appli-
ances, not only make but commit
q sin of omission. Look tidy in
the morning aud after dinner
work is done improve your toilet.
Make it rule of your daily life
to dress up in the afternoon.
Your dress may or may not be
but calico but with rib.
bon or bit of ornament you can
have an air of selfrespect and
satisfaction that always comes
with being neatly dressed.
