See How Long You Will Live.

There is very simple rule for find
ing the average number Of years which
persons Of any age may expect to live
It the present age be deducted from
so, twothirds of the remainder is the
answer required. This result is not
absolutely accurate, but it is near
enough. For instance, a man aged 20
might by this rule expect to live 40
years longer, which is just what the
latest actuarial tables give. At 40 the
expectation of life works out at nearly
q years, while the tables give it as
more than 25 years. At so the above
rule allows just over 13 years, and the
table shows little less.

How to Make a Fountain pen.

n 1t you wish to make a fountain pen,
take two ordinary steel pens Of the
same pattern and insert them in the
common holder. The inner pen will
be the writing pen. Between this and
the outer pen will be held supply Of
ink when they are once dipped into
the inkstand that will last to write

necessary that the points of the two
pens should be very near together, but
