Work Gives Long Life.

The Medical Record, in "A recent jssue
has an interesting article on longevity a.
Affected by occupations The Record
quotes from Or. Arlidge, an English pbv.
stefan, who has recently published the
results OF years OF close study OF the sub.
jet. DIR. Arlidge has decided that the
indolent rich are the shortest lived of all
classes, and gives as the cause of this
seeming anomaly that they worry their
lives away. Doing nothing, or existing
without definite and serious aim in life
leads inevitably to constant round of
so-called pleasures, but which is really
labor of the most wearing
kind, known as killing time. The man
OF means and of leisure becomes stated
with amusement, and finally life to him
Is not worth living. OF course all the
rich do not come under this category
and DR. Arlidge excerpts the philanthro-
pists who have a purpose, and the rich
traveller who has his diversions. but the
gilded youth, who lavishly squanders
natures best gifts. soon finds that he has
killed his zest for enjoyment. and he
either dies OF pure ennui, or literally burns
himself out"

the girls scrambled to their feet and
