Another freak beast which will ex-
cite curiosity in our geological gardens
is the tamarau, a dwarf buffalo found
in the forests Of Mindoro. Of the Phil
ippine group. 1t is n stunted form Of
the old-world buffalo, not Of the Amer
lean bison. II sometimes occurs high
up in the mountains. It tunnels path
ways through the thick bamboo under
growth covering the mountain sides
above 6,0OO feet. Hunters must so
upon hands and knees to follow these
trails. The aborigines never hunt this
little beast, being deathly afraid Of It.

70 LIVE A HUNDRED YEARS.
Cant. Baker swimA in Winter aud
Il Healthy at Nearly Four
Score.

Capt. Abram Baker, the well-l1nown
winter swimmer at Asbury Park, says
that he hopes to live long enough 10
be 100. The captain is 76, is hale and
hearty and something Of an athlete.
His daily life is planned on the theory
that temperate living and proper atten-
ton to hygiene will bring him safely
over the century mark.
II is not often that man who has all
ready passed his three score and ten
starts out to double on nature. but
Capt. Baker says he has a surer founda-
tion for his expectation than most en-
thusiasts because he belonged TO the
old "forty-niners," and gained in the
wilds Of California a rugged constitu-
ton that not even the infirmity of years
can impair appreciably.
There is no reason why should not
live to be 100 years old" said the cap
tain recently. THE average human eX-
istence is much higher now than IL
was 100 years ago, a fact due in a great
measure to improved sewage and "a
more general attention to the laws Of
hygiene. The principal thing for an
old man to consider is the banefu re-
suits Of an irregular life. Having made
up my mind to live as long as can, l
refrain from food that disagrees with
me, take only so much exercise as
require, abstain from stimulants and
keep my heart beating with normal reg
ularity. If nothing ever happened TO
4 !. .tr.I o.,
and live forever, barring accidents. 1t
is a rule of my daily life, therefore,
TO permit nothing to disturb my Sc
renity of mind.
81 never allow myself to become eX-
cited or worried. You can examine my
pulse any hour OF the day or night
and find that its beats are always prac-
tically the same. Another essential
practice for the man who expects to
live 100 years is the cold water plunge.
take this plunge every morning Of my
life. Formerly and until few months
ago l was an ocean bather. When l
discovered that this form of cold plunge
was too great n shock for my nervous
system l abandoned it. My diet is sim
pie, plain food, and plenty of It,
read two hours in the morning and walk
until the dinner hour. The afternoon
period is divided in much the same way.
At nine o'clock promptly every night l
retire.
These laws are simple, and rigid
compliance with them has given me an
unbrolen period of health from many
years. feel now that my youth is
being renewed. You will notice that
the gray in my whisSers is gradually
becoming darker. / contend that any
may who takes care Of himself and
avoids all excitement can live leo years
unless nature is thwarted by unforeseen
accident or the ravages of an epidemic
Life TO an old man, if he is healthy
and vigorous. is just rs enjoyable rs it
is TO the young. tits violation Of the
laws Of nature that brings disease and
corruption to the body. If nature is
respected and her demands recognized
no man ought to get old"

THE CITY OF NEWSPAPERS.
Paris Now Has over Twenty-Five
Hundred OF Them and More Are
Coming 10 the Front.

Paris publishes a new newspaper at
every fresh sensation. The population
OF the city of Paris at the last census
was 100000, and, according to the re-
Gently published Presse Annuaire for
1899, the newspapers OF the city now
number 2,5sT.
There are in Paris at present 40 daily
political newspapers, but how many
there will be next week or how many
the week after is practically impos-
sible 10 state. If public occasion de-
manded there might be another dozen.
OF the political organs in existence o.
come under the category Of republic
an, 90 are conservative and 10 are so
cialist
The maintenance of so many social
list newspapers in one city is strongly
indicative Of the extent to which French
papers take up and consider politics.
The price of French newspapers is
high, and the reading matter is small
in amount. French newspaper read
ers do not require much news, and are
perfectly satisfied TO depend upon the
post Office as an ordinary channel Of
communication whenever the telegraph
fails.
More importance is attached TO lit
erary style than to exact details in To-
cal newsgathering, and il is. there
fore, possible to publish with entire
pecuniary success a Paris newspaper
from the columns Of which all items Of
expensive news are omitted.-Chlcago

CITY Solicitor Conrad has mot yet
passed his opinion on the controversy
between. Building Inspector Cassidy
and A. S. Reed and Brother Company
regarding the new Hlgh School bui.d-
ing permit.
MIR. Cassidy received letter from the
oity solicitor this morning stating that
his time was so much taken up with
other matters that HE had not had an
opportunity to give the question proper
attention, but that he would forward
an opinion on the subject tomorrow.
In speaking on the matter this morn
ing a prominent contractor said: Il
DO not think the stand taken by Reed
Brothers is a proper one i'm this matter.
Is they are allowed to take ont a
permit for THE NEW High School buildN
ing at the actual cost price every com
tractor in town who has taken cut
permits fer large contracts Will be al
ter Mr.. Cassidy for a RETURN or the
money paid for a permit over and above
THE actual cost Of the proposed Ibwldr
Ding operations.
'TO contractor having several
large contracts during the year the
money paid for permits on profits
would amount to considerable, and be
worth recovering. Besides, every com
tractor when presenting his bid gem
orally figures ON the cost of THE per-
nit
The estimated difference between the
