LIFE GRADUALLY LENGTHENING.


Recent statistics prove that the aver

beings have grown stronger and longer
with the years. In the fifteenth CEN

or woman over sixty years of age. 1t
is clearly demonstrated that the change
for the better has been brought about
by modern ideas and methods. One of
the agents which has been most in
strumental in preserving life is Hostel

era of steam and electricity.
The struggling village-a position of
which, fired during the civil war, lay
still in ruins-was walled in on either
side by mountain ranges, whose aspect

seasons and varying atmospheric condi-
tions, presented ever and anon, fresh
beauties, presented ever and anon fresh
beauties for the we to feast upon, and
amply compensated for the horizon

her talents might have flowed in that
channel had not another been cut for
them by nature.
The death of her mother, which occur
red after the family had moved to Bir-
mingham and while she was at school at
Hollns Institute, in Virginia, orphaned
an infant sister, who was confided to the
care of an aunt. Mary however, conduct
ed the affairs of the household, taking
charge of the four older children and en-
deavoring to fill the place made vacant
in her fathers life.
The shock which he had sustained left
him a prey to insomnia, and, discovering
the sedative influence OF her own voice,
she read aloud to him night after night,
continuing her labor of love until /, 2,
and even 3 o'clock in the morning. The
character of the book selected was of no
moment, the murmuring sound alone be-
ing significant; and it was at this time
that she acquired much of her knowledge
of the era Of which she so successfully
treats. Then came six months of foreign
travel, with him as her companion, a
broadening experience, which was fol-
lowed up by the stimulating one of four
years residence in the great American
metropolis.
During the last twelve months of her
stay there the family-diminished by the
marriage of one daughter and by the abb
sence of another, under training as a
nurse-gave up housekeeping and took
apartments at the ST. Reno Hotel.
The father. and two brothers, being in
business, were away all day. Mary was
left alone, and it was during these hours
of solitude that the first Of the two books
destined to create such stir in the world,
and for which her whole life had been an
unconscious preparation, was written.
And SO it happened that, while the
Prisoners of Hope is of Virginia pa

qualities, and becoming not only the main

HOW HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

HOW HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
1.-THE END OF THE AGES" By William
Fishbough. Confidential Publishing Co.
New York. Cloth, $3.50.
The author of this remarkable work has
made history luminous. He shows that
the great sequence of events in the life OF
nation is not confused, chaotic and incl
dent. but subject to law. This law he
has discovered and revealed proving that
history proceeds in definitely periodic pull
sations, and in regular series. He shows
that seven periods, progressively differ
ing in character, constitute cycle, and
that when the cycle is completed new
one begins, following precisely the order
of the old one.
In the history of the United States, each
cycle consists of eighty-four years, then
history repeats itself by a repetition of
conditions merely on a higher plane of
progress. Applying Mr.. Fishbough's great
discovery to the history of any nation
will prove a stimulating exercise and be
a revelation of possibilities. The reader,
then not only understands what the his
tory of any people was and is, but what
it must be-he then begins to predict.
For book so erudite yet so simple, so
marvellous yet so convincing so clear and
concise in it's statement of law, so elab-
crate in the application of that law,-any
condensed statement of the scope of the
book does it an injustice.
