HOW TO REMAIN YOUNG.
Process Of Ossifcation, Which May Be Re.
tarded.

To drink the waters of the fountain
of youth is still, in the opinion OF
some, within the range of possibility,
says Popular Science. Professor Blu
fern observes that man began in n
gelatinous condition and ends in an
osseous or bony one. He is soft in
infancy; he is hard in old age. Ag-
ing is process of ossification. After
middle life has passed more marked
development of the Ossitic character
takes place. The arteries become
thickened with calcareous matter, and
there is interference with the circula-
ton, upon which nutrition depends.
The whole change from youth to
old age is one of steady accumulation
OF calcareous deposits in the system.
Entire blockade of the functions of
the body is a mere matter Of time,
and the refuse matter deposited by the
blood through the system stops the
delicate machinery we call life. The
blood contains compounds of lime,
magnesia and iron. In the blood it.
self are these earthly salts. IE early
life they are thrown off; in age they
are not. Almost everything we eat
contains these elements for destroying
life. Earthly salts abound in the
cereals, and bread itself, mistakenly
called the staff oflife," is one of the
most calcareous of edibles. Nitro
genous food also contains these ele-
ments; hence diet made up OF fruit
is best for people advanced in years.
The daily use OF water is, after middle
life, one OF the most important means
of preventing secretions and derange-
ments OF health.
Diluted phosphoric acid is one of
the most powerful influences known to
science for shielding the human sys-
tenn from the inconvenience OF old age.
Use it daily with distilled water and
so retard the approach of senility. To
retain perpetual youth avoid all foods
rich in the earth's salts, use much
fruit, especially juicy. uncooked ap-
Piles, and take daily two or three tum-
blerfuls OF distilled water, with about
l5 drops of diluted phosphoric acid in
each glassful. Thus will your days be
longer in the land.

Exnct Figure May Never be Known. but It will
be at Least That.
The war with Spain cost us more
than $500, 100000.
Exact figures are not yet obtainable
and may never be because of the diff
Guilty in segregating from civil expend-
itures just what should be charged to
war. For instance, extra clerks we're
employed in the Treasury Department
and in the Internal Revenue Bureau
as result Of the issue of war bonds.
The Treasury statement for ten
months shows War Department ex-
penditures of $2lO,7S5,536.47, and
Navy Department $55,s22,S94.0l, q
total since June 80, 1898, of 1896 ,6OS,-
43O.4S.
The expenditures for April, May and
June of 1898 were about $4,000, 900
above the average, running the total
for the year ending April 80, 1899,
above $3OO,OOO,OOO. There is yet to
be added what was expended in max
ing preparations.
The civil and miscellaneous expend-
itures for the past ten months were .
little over $lOOOOO,OOo, part OF which
was necessitated by the war.
The average annual expense Of the
military establishment for the five
years before the war was about $780,
100000 a year.

THE CONFIDENTIAL" WOMAN.
n. Y. World.

Chancellor Stevens, sitting at
Newark, n. j., has ruled that there is
no sexual significance whatever in the
fact that a man is alone with his
young woman stenographer in his bus.
mess Office.
This is the first conspicuous judicial
notice of the changed conditions
through the employment OF women on
the same terms as men in confidential
relations that compel employer and
employee to be alone and safe from
peeping or eavesdropping. The
changed conditions have made such a
ruling necessary. For the tendency of
the times is such that woman is more
and more absorbing the profession OF
secretary. Woman's superior sense of
order, her superior tractability, her su-
perior ability at details, ali equip her
to excel men in the struggle for posi-
tions where these qualifications are
paramount.
And yet-has propinquity, the great
est OF matchmakers, lost its puissance?
Is Cupid going weakly to yield at the
command of Business? Will he not
persist in holding to his ancient pre-
rogative OF smuggling himself in be-
tween man and o woman, both
"likely persons" when they sit day
after day, hour after hour, in "confi-
dental relations% Will he not insist
upon impishly stridulating loudly
enough to be heard above the scratch
ing of pens, however business-like, or
above the pounding of typewriter keys,
hover unsentimental?
Or will the new conditions produce
a new race OF business women, like
the adamantine wives of the German
warriors whose virtue and ugliness
Gibbon describes with gentle satire-a
race armed against the men in triple
armor of homeliness and armed against
themselves by Diana-like frozenness
Of heart and blood?

Rough on Dad.
Ellensburg Capital.

An Ellensburg minister tells this
story, which is not bad, in view OF the
result of the recent election. He was
holding revival services in North Yak
ina, last week, and as he was closing
the services each evening he asked
those who were Christians to come for.
ward.
Out of a family of man, wife and
daughter at one meeting, the latter
two went to the front, while the head
of the household remained in his seat.
On the way home the daughter,
who is about eight years old, unbur-
dened her mind as follows:
"Well, mamma, Pm ashamed OF
papa; here you and l are trying to be
Christians and lead Christian lives,
but papa won't do the same thing.
He will be nothing but blamed Pop.

Doshouses and Dog Kennels.

Doghouse is the name applied to n
house made for dog to live in out of
doors; dog kennel to house or box
built for adog's quarters indoors.
The doghouse is likely to be for big
dog; the kennel, in private houses, for
little dog. There are few doghouses
used in the city, and in proportion to
the number of pet dogs not a great
many kennels, but still the number Of
kennels in the aggregate is consider
able.
Doghouses are made with sloping
roof to shed rain. No such necessity
exists in the case of the kennel, and
kennels are always made with fat
top. Things may be placed on top of
them. The kennel is practically an
Oblong box made of yellow or white
pine or of whitewood, and customarily
painted white and without ornamen-
tation. The kennel has a grated
opening in the top for purposes of
ventilation, with cover to put over
to prevent draft. Formerly the doors
OF such kennels were made of wire
cloth; now they are all made with
bars of very small sized gas piping.
The kennel of this kind is SO made
that it is raised at the corners enough
to make the bottom clear the floor,
and it is often mounted on casters, so
that it can be conveniently moved
about from room to room. Such ken
nels are made by carpenters and they
cost SIS to SO each, according to the
size.

A Neishine Cock.

Camden says the Thames was once
called the Cockney, and therefore
cockney means simply one who lives
on the banks of the Thames. Wedge
wood says a cockney, or cockerney, is
one pampered by city indulgence, in
contradistinction to rustics hardened
by outdoor work. There is, however,
a legend, almost too good to be true
namely, that Londoner who had
never before slept out of sound of Bow
Belle had occasion to 60 into the coun-
try and was detained all night.
He was much disturbed by the low
ing of the cattle, the grunting OF the
pig and other sounds of country life,
which he could not understand, and in
particular he was frightened by the
Growing of the cock. In the morning,
in response to the farmers inquiries,
he said the sound of the wild beasts
had kept him awake. Just at that
moment the cock crowed again, and
the Londoner said: "That's the one
He's been neighing like that for
hoursw Since then Londoners have
been called cockneighs, or cockneys.

Animals and Infection.

Evidence that colds are infectious is
furnished by what we observe among
our domestic animals. Cats seem to
be specially susceptible. Probably
they often bring home from their noe
turnal rambles those mysterious ca
tarrhal attacks which so rapidly run
through the house, says the London
Spectator. 1t is an old saying. "The
cat is sneezing; we shall all have
colds" Sheep, too, are liable. A
whole flock may suffer and may show
that curious eruption round the lips
(Herpes labialis) which we all know
only too we'll as one Of the most un-
pleasant accompaniments of bad
cold in the head. On the Australian
sheep runs, when the shearing season
comes round, the men who congregate
at the sheds are frequently smitten
with an illness of catarrhal nature,
which rapidly takes hold OF them and
often affects some 80 per cent. Some
times it becomes very serious and may
even develop into fatal pneumonia.
To all appearance it is caught from
the sheep.

this arises from the condition of the

Pittsburg coal was advanced Septem-

price applies only to what is known as
lump coal. The price of screened coal
over one and one-quarter inch screen
was fixed at 81 ton. The announce

it is not the result Of combination OF

BUSINESS STOPPED.

NEW YORK, September 4.-Labor
Day was favored with bright sun and
brisk breeze, and thousands took ad-
vantage of the fine weather to enjoy a
days outing. Business was practically
stopped. In addition to the exchanges
and banks, all the large department
stores were closed. Flags were flying
from all the public buildings and in
some instances there was a lavish dis
play of bunting.
Although there was no united parade
of labor organizations, there were
lesser parades all over the city. The
Central Federation Union concluded TO
omit the usual Labor Day parade be-
cause so many workmen, including the
tailors and those in the building
trades, are not employed. It costs ST.
coo to $4,000 to hold parade and this
sum it was thought could better be
used in helping out the unemployed
and those on strikes. In place of a
parade the combined unions held a pic
mic at Suffers West Chester Park
where there were various contests for
prizes, followed by speech-making.
Hundreds of workingmen and others
belonging to single tax trade organiza-
tons in this city and vicinity gathered
