LIFE AND vIGOR ARE GREATER
According 20 This Human Existence
Is Longer Than II Was
Century Ago.

Within half century the average
length of life has been extended over
ten years. For a long time IL was fixed
at 80 years, and that is regarded as the
length of a generation, but now IL is
close to as 1t is noticeable that with
the lengthening of the average Of life
has come the frightening Of the age Of
mental and physical activity. The
statistics prove that mental and phys
ical vitality are not mere matters Of
years, but that they depend upon jul
dicious conservation of the vital forces,
says the New York Press.
There can be traced in contempt.
rnneous history Il noticeable increase
in the length of human vitality. In this
day we find men undertaking great en-
terprises Mt an age when their forbears
were In their dotage and proving them
selves capable Of long and sustained
effort equal to that Of the most lusty
youth. The number Of graybeards on
bicycles gives evidence that the age Of
fun physical vitality has been advanced
greatly. The age at which men in our
day go into enterprises demanding
concentration of thought, physical
strength, buoyancy of spirits and the
sustained courage that can come only
from sound health proves that the man
Of mature age Il able to do his full share

THE NEW BOY.
His Training IL One More Advance
Toward the Reversal of Sex
Occupation.

The new boy is Of later origin than
the new woman, says lady writer
who has discovered him. He can
make his own bed, sew buttons on his
own clothing, cook his own breakfast
or wash the dishes and is not consid-
cred q Sissy" for 80 doing. He can
carry on successfully a bachelor es-
Enlistment for his father and him
self, make out the menus, hire the
domestics and even do his part So
cially without losing his place among
the first six in school
The new boy Is the result of grow
Ing belief among mothers and edu-
Gators that domestic training is just
as good for boys as for girls. They
argue that domestic trained boy
makes the best kind of husband,
and that the brother that is obliged
occasionally TO make his own bed or
boil an egg will not look down on his
sister for doing these same things.
Also, that the girl who can use her
brothers kit Of tools will no longer
consider him a superior being because
the tools are his property rather than
hers. Again, the advocates of domes-
tic training for boys say that, while
there viii always be n division of oc-
equations In the family, as in society,
there Is this difference in the family,
that In those occupations which re-
late TO the common life there ought
to be common performance else the
divleien Of labor will result In a de
vision Of feeling and of thought

CRAB FROM INDIAN OCEAN.
Captured Recently Near
Calcutta.

An enormous phosphorescent crab,
the like of which has never hereto
fore been found, was recently cap
tured in the Indian ocean and Is now
in the aquarium of the Geological So
ciety of Calcutta, says the New York
Herald. This huge crustacean. which
was caught mile away from shore,
is GO centimeters in diameter and its
claws are more than yard long.
Its voracity is incredible, and its
great eyes protrude IN such man
ner as to give it peculiarly ferocious
appearance.
After it was caught it was placed
in large vessel, which was filed with
sea water and which also contained
about 80 crustaceans and other fishes.
Two hours later the crab had de-
voured all these, and when evening
arrived the biologists. who were
watching the strange creature. saw to
their surprise that it emitted curious
phosphorescent rays of a milky white
ness. which illumined the entire yes-
sell This inexplicahle phenomenon is
repeated every evening. and natural
lists have travelled from many parts

FEDERATION OF CHURCHES

Makes n Statemen Il the Public
Letters from Pittsburg officials.
The Federation of Churches yester-
day furnished a letter to the public,
pertaining to Sunday selling, which
reached the Registers office at such
a late hour as to render it impossible
to publish it in full. owing to a rush
of other matter.
The letter recites facts which may be
briefly stated rs follows:
A committee of the Federation wait
ed on the Mayor to demand" that
saloons be closed on Sunday. After
waiting in vain for a public expression
from him, either through the papers
or in his message, the open letter
was decided upon. The Federation as
serts the Mayors position to be that
he is giving the city a liberal" adj
ministration; that the Federation has
injured the city's reputation by clam
oring for Sunday closing and slot ma
chine abolition; and that public senti-
ment is against the ministers. The
last charge is vigorously denied by the
ministers.
The Federation charges that the
Mayor declared in favor of Sunday
selling in his conference with them,
arguing that open saloons are better
than "speak-easies," and citing Pitts
burg as an example. To disprove this,
the ministers submit letters from
Mayor Diehle and Supt. Leslie, Of the
Bureau of Police of Pittsburg. The
former admits there are "some" speak
easies in "the lower quarters" but
asserts that they are promptly closed
when discovered by the police. Supt.
Leslie says: I'VE have a few speak
castles here and there" but less than
100. He says P%ittsburg has a more
quiet, l%aw-abiding Sabbath than any
city in the country, all due to the
Brooks high license law. which Closed
pack doors.
The Federation further alleges that
the Mayor lodged the question by dis
claiming any authority in the matter.
when we asked him to tell us then,
who is in authority here? Where is
the executive head? he actually could
not say, and SO confessed" The Fed
Grafton asks-"Is the Office of Mayor
a mere nonentity in law, or is the
present occupant trying to dodge this
important issue?" They assert that
the Mayor, the Chief. the Council,
have referred them from one to an
other, and they cannot find the ex-
ecutive head of the city. They be-
lieve, however, that the Mayor is the
head, and advocate filling the office
with a man "who will do his sworn
duty"

scores of letters similar to the sub
joined are received by Warmers SAFE
Cure Co., of Rochester, N. y, ana
they respectfully request you to read
this. Our word for it, you will not re.
greet it.
In 1881 / was told by two of the
best physicians In Boston, DR.. W
and Dbl that | could not expect
to live a year; that I had Bright's Dis
ease. At that time ] heard OF a maj
who was supposed to have been at
deaths door and was stopping, or dy-
ing, at the Commonwealth Hotel tnow
the Langham) at the south end OF
Boston. His wife, in reading to him,
came across a Warner advertisement
and got a bottle of the Safe Cure.
Her husband commenced to take the
medicine, saying nothing to his doctor
until after two of three weeks. His
water commenced to show signs OF
improvement and the man was able
to get up and walk about. When ne
found that he was really getting bet
ter, he told the doctor what he had
done and dismissed him. continuing
the medicine, and in three months
this dying man was about his usual
duties, those of an expressman, and
was finally cured. On the strength OF
this cure I got a bottle and dropped
all other medicines. My doctors sent
me to Kansas as a good place togoout
of their jurisdiction, and to die. They
gave my wife medicine to carry,
enough to last me until | should die.
and which | left at home. ! carried
one dozen bottles of Warmers Safe
Cure, and went to a small place near
Junction City, where / had a cousin
who is a physician. / had him exam
inc my water every day, and after a
week he found improvement, and hon-
estly acknowledged that | was on the
road to recovery. And | did recover,
although it took a long time because
] was badly off, and / took over n
hundred bottles in the course OF q
year and a half or two years. These
facts can be proved by any one who
knew me then, and will willingly
write to any one who may desire to
know from me directly and give them
a history of my case.
