PRESERVING HEALTH IN AGE.
Principles Which Must be Recognized
by Those Who Would Grow Old,

by Those Who Would Grow Old.
Infancy and old age are frequently re-
ferred to as analogous states. In point
of fact, they are much more nearly oppo-
sites. Infancy is the expanding, rapid
ly-developing period, while old age is a
time when the tissues shrink, as it were.
to accommodate the lessening vital
forces. 1t cannot be said that all per
sons reach old age at 20, although by
that time the majority of people find it
necessary to curtail their activities
The signals which indicate need FOR
tightening the load upon the vital forces
as old age comes on are usually unmiS-
taxable. There is a decreased capacity
for work. The heart-beats are weaker,
the muscles and joints less flexible.
Acute diseases are more to be feared. 1t
is not uncommon for the aged to recoy-
er from serious injuries and from severe
attacks of illness, but such recoveries are
not the rule.
One of the important questions con
nected with the hygiene of old age re-
lateS TO the degree to which one should
modify ones previous habits of life. 1t
may be said positively that all sudden or
rectly-reversionary changes are to be
stunned. For example, one who has al

Signaling Under Water.

The late Prof. Elisha Gray, shortly be

periments which demonstrated that sound
can be readily conveyed to considerable
distances through the sea. says the
Youths Companion. An SO0-pound bell
was let down about twenty feet in the
water through a well-hole in a specially
constructed vessel, the clapper of the bell
remaining under the control of those
aboard the ship. When the bell wa
struck the sound was plainly heard in tn
hold of another vessel mile away. By
lowering a speaking trumpet into the wa

A sTRoLLING SINGER.

He sang along the woodland paths
When all the world was warm and gay,
The birds half Knocked him overhead.
The shadows cooled his greenlt way.
The earth was sweet with growing things,
The vintage promised full and fair:
And one with eyes like larkspur birds,
And garnered sunshine in her hair
Stood watching by the Hex trees,
glow, q welcome in her eyes.
He sank, too tired, at her feet,
And smiled through wistfu little sighs
Dear Love- he said II cannot live,
shall not see the mOrrow's sun,
But am fortunate to die
While yet my loving Is not done.
And weep no foolish tears for me-
But when the vines with gold are hung
Think Life was very good to him.
For he had loved. and loved. and sung

The United States geological survey
has just sent to the printer an interest
ing monogram on the bauXitc fields Of
Arkansas. 1t is the work of Charles
Willard Hayes, who recently returned
from an extensive investigation in the
field there, and who has now gone to
Cuba to make researches into the miner
al deposits that can be turned to CONNER
cial account. The interesting feature in
the monogram to be issued lies in the
fact that the author points ont that
other bauXite fields in the United States
are nearly exhausted, and hence the dis
coveries of deposits in Arkansas indicate
that it soon will be the principal source
Of supply for the country. The bauxite
is used in the production of aluminium,
but to a greater extent in the production
Of a number of by-products.

Britons Are Not Hustlers.

England can still supply many things
cheaper than Germany, according to the
newly-issued report on British trade and
shipping i'll southeast ASA, says Il Lon
don newspaper. For example, cotton
prints and yarns, tined provisions. spirits,
hardware, hosiery, leather goods, etc,
which are largely imported by Il Swiss
firm in northern Siam. Switzerland has
gained ground in the Eastern cotton
trade by its low prices and by giving
more careful attention to orders. One
large order was lost to Manchester solely
because the British manufacturer persist
ed in sending 26-inch cloth instead of a
2S-inch one. \ great part of Great
Britan's East Indian trade has passed
into German hands since the transfer of
the ships Of the blue funnel line TO n
firm of that nationality.

German public is again demanding more
stringent laws against the adulteration

ought to know better, buy the pure wine

they make five or six by watering and

of the doubtful and deteriorated wine is
exported to England. to her colonies and
to Russia. Formerly it used to 90 to

partially stopped it. The Rhine and
