The Secret Of Longevity.

From American Medicine.
new book upon centenarians has lately
been published. written by Mr.. 7. L. Young.
late president of the Institute of Actuaries
of England. The records OF life insurance
and annuity societies have been ransacked.
and among over 10000 insured persons hs
has been able to find only twenty-five cases
OF centenarians. The oldest of these was a
woman who lived 105 years and months.
He accepts as demonstrated the mythical
character OF the story OF the life of Henry
Jenkins, who, 1t has been believed, lived
169 years; of Thomas Parr. 152 years and 0
months, and OF others Ii seems difficult
to believe that the dozen or more in
stances of people living 125 years or over
are also all mythical" And yet the life
insurance companies should have found
at least one such well-authentlcated case.
1t is a strange kind of weakness that makes
people proud of great age. but this vanity
often becomes ridiculous and has been the
cause Of the numerous cases Of exaggera-
ton. 1t is extremely doubtful II anyone
has ever lived 10 years. The subject has
always been of interest, both to the scien-
tific and the lay public. Those who have
investigated 1t find that the most clearly
ascertainable cause of longevity is longev-
ity itself II one wishes to live long. he
should choose long-living ancestors.

RULES FOR WRITERS.
How Literary Beginners Should Sub
NIT Manuscripts.

From the Ladies' Home Journal
In submitting q manuscript for publica-

seif-restraint. For there is. nothing to be
gained by letting your anxiety regarding
your manuscript get the better Of you and
30 yielding to the temptation to do every
thing you can think of to bring about its
acceptance. Indeed. you are far more likely
to lose ground by doing something unneces-
sary or dunwise. Keep your head. therefore,
and don't allow yourself to be swept away
by excited impulses arising from the now

possibilities It suggests. or inflated ideas
concerning Its importance. Steak the steady

Some interesting observations concerning
the surgical treatment OF wounds by birds
were recently made by a Swiss naturalist.
The most interesting example was that Of
a snipe. both of whose legs he had unfor-
tunately broken by misdirected shot. He
recovered 1t the following day. when no

apply dressings of down from other parts
OF its body, fastened by CONCEALED blood.

Logically It deprives us of the right to re-
quire that the Fflipinos should set I'D
decent kind Of government. If governments
derive their just powers only from the con-
sent Of the governed, then any kind (not
merely any decent kind) Of government of
Fiiipinos by Fiipinos is better than the best
possible government Of non-consenting Fill
pinos by Americans.
1t also follows that any government of
Moros by Moros is better than the best gov
eminent Of Moros by Tagalogs and that
any government Of Visayans or Macabebes
or 1locanos or Vicols or Igorrotes or anv

Why should despotic control ~ tho mn

The British Isles sent less than $4,000 immigrants

while the large additions made to the American nation
are from parts the old world which have been least

It is part of the general elualizng process going
