RULES FOR LONGEVITY.

The New York World has gathered
up the views OF a number Of centenari-
ans. of both sexes. on the question OF
how to obtain a high age. While the
rules laid down vary somewhat all, or
nearly all. agree that one essential con-
dillon of longevity Is to live without
worry. As for other rules, each one has
his or her own. Some recommend mar
ried life. and some single blessedness'
Some think narcotics are good, while
others condemn them. Fresh air, reg
ular habits, temperance, the fear OF
God, and useful employment are the
conditions mostly recommended as con-
duclve 10 long life. That is the testl-
mony Of these centenarians.
What these aged men and women
have to say on that subject is quite In
teresting, but no more comprehensive
rule for obtaining the blessing Of lon
gevity has been laid down, that that
given on Mt. Sinai: Honor thy father
and thy mother" For the child that
honors the divine authority conferred in
fatherhood and motherhood, Is also sure
to honor the Eternal Father and to
Keep His commandments, and thus be-
come entitled TO long life and other
blessings predicted upon obedience, But
II Is Of the utmost Importance that the
foundation for longevity be laid in ODE
dience to parents. at a time when, with
out such guidance the child would
most probably form moral and physl-
cal habits detrimental to health and the
full enjoyment Of life. The child that
starts out with obedience to parental
authority. and Is thus kept walking in
the right path, is most likely to con-
tinue in obedience to God and His laws
throughout life and therefore It has a
claim on the promise OF many DAYS in
the land Of the living. unless, indeed
for special purposes it is removed to
another sphere OF action.

BRAVE INDIANS.

There Is, II seems. an island in the
Gulf OF California, inhabited by Indians
who have resisted every effort OF white
men to. land upon their soil. a recent
effort to do so is told by the Boston
Transcript as follows
Recently band Of Americans with
regulations for deadly shooting
equipped themselves with Winchester
rifles, Gatllngs and other munitions Of
war and went to the island In a launch
and landed with the avowed purpose Of
wholly eXterminatng the inhabitants
and having the gold, which is known TO
be found there, and the land and spoil
for their trouble II was an exploit
worthy Of pirates. and It's end was as
tragic as the plan contemplated II was
the gentlemen adyenturors. however,
who died, and the Indians who took
the spoil. After the party landed they
turn after time. II did So and found
only the bones Of the party, bleaching
upon the sands.

snyages In attacking with arrows and

ers manifested before they were killed

class fighting men and doubtless died
true 10 their traditions. The Indians
who fought for their homes and chill
dren are now supplied with the inn
proved arms. and doubtless some will
know their use and instruct the rest.
They have kept the landing for long
generations as bravely as Thomas and
his troops held their places az Chicka-
manga. They should be left in peace
until a kinder motive sends 10 them
helps in the arts Of peace and in
struction and makes them TO under
stand that peaceful industry and trade
will bring them the best returns when
they push their rude RATS to the main
land In quest Of food.
These Indians are declared to be the
finest specimens Of physical humanity
in the world. The government ought TO
protect them against such raids as that
described above. They ought to be
protected against contamination by the
vices Of civilization. as well as from
eXtirpatlon.

Every good business man knows the
value of advertising. Colonel A. A.
Pope says that failure to properly ad (.
vertlse its product is the cause for the
recent failure of the American Bicycle
company and the appointment of a re-
ceiver. The cessation OF advertising
Killed the bicycle business, he says, and
the way TO revive It is TO begin again
the expenditure Of money In printers
INK Colonel Pope said that in one year
he spent 100000 In advertising, and
that that would be the keynote to his
policy In the future. 1t is a splendid
tribute to the value of advertising and
from one who is an authority on the
matter There is no better advertising

REPORTED WONDERFUL CURE,

The Philadelphia Press Is authority
for The statement that report IS
about to be published, by U. S. Consul
Robert NJ Mcwade stationed al Cam
ton, China, in which the results Of tests
Of cure FOR leprosy VIII be set forth.
1t is claimed that the cures obtained In
the leper colony at Canton are simply
marvellous.
The details are not given IN advance
Of the promised report. but concerning
the dlseoverer Of the remedy IL Is stat
ed that he Is a native Of Austria. and
naturalzcd American. DR.. Adolph
Raslag. He spent some time in the
Philippines In the marine hospital SER
vice and came to Canton some months
ago for the purpose Of experimenting
among the lepers. The consul states
that he has met with so great success
that the yiceroy Of Canton regards the
discovery as the greatest OF many CEN
turtles.
TO the question whether any absolute
cures have been Effected Consul Nc
Wade replied.
"There certainly have been cures
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1902-11-08

he answered. emphatically. There are
today In the leper colony In Canton
aggregated from other cases, fourteen
who show every symptom Of absolute
recovery from the ranges OF that hor-
riblc disease. There Is one case In
particular which TO my mind Is simply
marvellous. II Is that OF a big Chinese
coole, In whom the disease had made
such progress as TO make II a question
Of a few days or weeks at the furthest
when death would relieve him. From q
stalwart young man he had been re-
duced to q repulslye cripple, with bent
back aud twisted limbs lie could
scarcely crawl along the grogn,
This was one Of the cases segre-
gated from the colony for the purpose
Of DR. Raslag's experiments, How sue
cessfll the remedy Is can be better I'M
dorstood when ! tell you that that
coolie is today able TO carry 900 or 900
pounds burden al day long, ana the
only evidence OF hs leprosy Is In the
clcatrlzed wounds on his feet, body,
and hands. The man Is strong and Well
today. This is one case Of the fourteen
that have been under treatment for six
or eight months
II this IS correct, II certainly looks
as II great discovery had been made
in the field Of medical research. With
a remedy at hand against this loath.
some disease, thousands Of sufferers
without hope, in many parts Of the
world, would again have chance to
regain health and become happy and
useful members Of the human family
The consul states he anticipates that
the report win be received with skep-
tlcism, but ne seems TO he fully con-
WINGED that the remedy IS effective, and
that the cures are genuine.

THE SABBATH QUESTION.

Cardinal Gibbonbs adds his power
ful plea for the observance Of the Sab
bath, to the voices heard In that cause
IN this country lie points out that
there Is a constant tendency to do
business ON Sunday. Railroads carry,
not only passengers, but freight, and
The traction companies work at their
full capacity and for the full time on
Sunday as on other days,
In pointing to those facts, the preate
calls attention TO modern problem
that Is difficult, II not impossible, to
solve, Would It be practicable to stop
all the wheels Of transportation for
one day in the week? 1t would take a
powerful public opinion TO do that, and
81 far the public opinion is rather the
other way
Cardinal Gibbons, however, also
speaks against the Sunday paper, and
on that point he touches something
that could be remedied, II need be. For
Il the Sunday paper Is an evil, it il
not a necessary evil. The average
Sunday Newspaper Is a mass Of "news'
about murders robbberles, scandals,
gossip, sensational articles and miscel-
laneous illustrations, and It Is true, as
Cardinal Gibbons says, that when a
man has deyoured this mess, he Is it
neither Tor Worship nor for recreation.
The original idea Of a Sabbath was
to make 1t day Of rest from all kinds
OF work, not absolutely necessary, The
sabbath was made for man, not man
for the Sabbath. This idea, we believe,
should always be kept in view, when
that question is up. Any part OF the
Sabbath which ia given up to unneces-
sary labor on frivolous pastime, Is
worse than wasted.
