The Illinois Supreme Court has been
called upon to give legal interpreta'
tiOn of the oft.used O. K.
A lawyer wrote those letters on a
consent verdict and It became neces'
sary for the court to declare what @
meant thereby. Judge Horton, who
delivered the opinion. said:
"We find in the Century dictionary

tion-viz.: cOrigin obscure; usually

her little good. She will go on dress
ng her wee baby in closely fitting
bands, and in garments which are too
long and too heavy; she will nurse him
when she pleases, and not according to

burden his immature stomach with
food difficult of digestion and impos-
5ible of assimilation. 1t is pitiful to

far dinerent from the ordinary Chris
tianity of the churches. In his las.
book. however, The Resurrection,
he has presented in story form the
fruits of his life experience Of the va
rious types OF love. Tolstois family
was very wealthy a one time, and the
estates which he inherited were very
large In his early days. after service
in the Crimean war. he lived for
time wild life in ST. Petersburg, rev.
cling in all forms of dissipation
Wearying of ii all, he married and
settled down. but the more sober he
grew the wider he opened his eyes to
conditions Of social life which he alb
horred. After his novels, especially
"kreutzer Sonata" which dealt with
moral problems, he wrote works CIV
ing his views of Christianity and re-
ligion. In the early sos he was very
radical in his mode of life, working
daily with his hands, desiring to give
his whole property to the poor and
encouraging a simple and direct NOR
atty in those around him. He was
almost intOlerant in the vigor of his
beliefs, but since then. though he has
not changed his ideals, he has re-
spected the mode OF life in others In
greater degree. Tolstol has been OF
the greatest service to the Russian peo-
pie at many times. and especially In
the years OF famine in 1892. For a
time he administered the national re-
lief funds Despite his radical views
ne long held the confidence of the
czar. That did not save him. how
ever, from severe conflict with the
holy synod of Russia over his religious
views three years ago. The views of
Tolstoi about war and his belief in
non-resistance are well known. and II
has been no surprise to hear from him
lately as an ardent friend of the
Beers, DESTROYS of the humiliation of
England.

FIRST CHINESE JUNK

Way to France.
Hongkong Cor. Chicago Record: La
Fleur de Lotus is the name given to a
Chinese junk which has been fitted
out for the Paris exhibition by a
Frenchman named Henri Bear de
Bourdonnel. 1t started on its long
voyage on Tuesday last, Capt. Bour-
donnel having as companions coun-
tryman and his wife, a French sailor,
nine Annamites and nine Chinese.
With fair wind the junk will make
eight knots an hour, and it is expected
that, all being well, she will arrive at
her destination some time in May
She calls at Saigon, Singapore, Colom-
DO and Alden en- route and will be
towed through the Suez canal. Some
months ago Capt. Bourdonnel con-
ceived the idea that he could procure
for himself fame and money if he could
succeed in taking the first Chinese
junk to Europe. He accordingly pur-
chased one of about 1000 piculs ca
pacity Ga picul is about 1876 pounds),
anu uou II picpdleu III It's lV,VVV-lnile
sail. 1t was strengthened, provided
with comfortable saloon and a con-
siderable quantity Of ballast was TAX
en- aboard to steady it, The attempt IS
no doubt venturesome one, but given
ordinary weather Capt. Bourdonnel
does not expect much difficulty in
achieving his object. The ordinary
Chinese junk is a strong vessel. 1t is
frequently met with far out on the
boisterous China sea. Capt. Bourbon
nel's vessel is one of the largest of the
kind, being seventy-two feet long and
twenty-nine feet wide. The captain
takes with him large quantity Of
Chinese curios.

SECRETS oF LONGEVITY
Are Plain Food, Good Air, and Eight
Hours Sleep.

Are Plain Food, Good Air. and Eight
Hours Sleep.
1.-The Causes of Natural Death, and
How to Attain an Active and Useful
Old Age" was the subject of lecture
by DR.. Cyrus Edison before the Hun
bred Year club. Farmers are Of long
lives" said DR.. Edison, "but men in
the city who observe the rules Of
health live longer than the farmer.
The reason Is that the city man exer-
cises his mental powers more than the
farmer The rules for long life are:
Plain food plenty Of good air; not
more than eight hours sleep; periods
of exercise, part of which should be of
such a nature as to produce deep res
piration and perspiration; don't worry
or go to extremes or excuses" DR..
Edison said the average life Of brain
worker was 81 years. "The cause OF
DEATH" said he, SIS failure OF assimi-
lation, the giving out Of one organ and
failure of the nervous system" DR..
Edison told of Thomas Parr, an Eng
lishman, who lived to be 152 years old
and outlived nine princes. Parr was
supposed to have died because OF a
change of food and air, moving from
the fresh country to London. He
worked in a field until he was 1870
years old, and married widow at 12O.
A discussion of longevity was held
