Secret of a Long Life.
You sometimes see a woman whose old
age is as exquisite as was the perfect
bloom of her youth: You wonder how
this has come about. You wonder how
1t is her life has been long and happy
one. Here are some of the reasons:
She knew how to forget disagreeable
things.
She kept her nerves well in hand and
inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art of saying pleas
ant things.
She did not expect too much from her
friends.
She made whatever work came to her
congenial.
She retained her illusions and did not
believe all the world wicked and unkind.
She relieved the miserable and sympa-
thized with the sorrowfu.
She never forgot that kind words and a
smile cost nothing, but are priceless
treasures to the discouraged.
She did unto others as she would be
done by, and now that old age has come
to her and there is halo of white hair
about her head she is loved and consider
ed. This is the secret of long life and
happy one.

Stories of telepathic vision are not
rare. In fact, there are many instances
where persons have seen visions OF
friends or relatives who were separated
from the beholders by thousands of
miles.
One of the best authenticated of them
is the incident in which Captain Sher-
broke of the Thirty-third regiment, aft
erward General Sir John Cope Sher-

One afternoon in 1885 when they
