How 60 Keep Young.

One Of the secrets OF keeping young
vigorous and supple jointcd is to con-
tlnue to practice the activities OF youth
and to refuse TO allow the mind 10
stlffen the muscles by its suggestion
OF age limitations. If men like Peter
Cooper ana William L. Gladstone, who
kept up the yitalizlng exercises OF ro-
bust manhood when far into tho
eighties, had succumbed at forty To tho
thought of approaching age, how much
Of their valuable life work would have
remained undone!-Success.

THE MILKY WAY.

Idea OF the Eternity OF space
The Milky Way, the grandest feature
of the Ornament which bends above

ally bands the whole fabric OF the
composed OF grand aggregation OF at
least 1900 900 suns, each as large ms
or larger than that which makes vcge-
table and animal lifo an earthly posi-
billty. one is apt when allowing the
mind to revert TO the contemplation Of
these misty and indistnct Astronomical
subjects TO measure their magnitude
or attempt TO measure 1t by making
terrestrial comparisons.
1t is obvious, however, upon more
mature reflection that such comparl-
sons are worse than "odiOus." The bulk
OF our sun exceeds that OF the earth
100000 times, being 600 times great
er than that of the bulk of his whole
train of planets taken collectively. This
being the case. what basis can we use
for calculating the magnitude OF 49,
000,00 suns, each, as | have said be-
fore, probably larger than that which
gives us heat and light2
The Infinite number OF suns which,
taken together, make up the Milky
Way are not set at n uniform distance
from our earth or even from our sun.
In fact, they appear to work altogeth-

FILTHY MECCA.
The Holy city Is the DIrtiest spst In
All Islam.

All Islam.
Mecca, the holy city OF the faith,
is called by many names. Some call
It "the Mother Of Purity" "the Cita-
del OF Arabs" "the Holy Mosque"
Others speak of it ms "the Mother OF
Compassion, "the Supreme Sanctity,"
"the Guardian Angel OF AJem." The
devout never utter the word Mecca
without adding TO IL some adjective
OF praise, such MS "the blessed" "the
exalted" "the great" "the highly es-
teemed," and so on. The town itself
is about two miles In length and one
mile I'm breadth.
The dirtier the pilgrim keeps himself
the more respected he is as n pious
Moslem. Consequently Mecca, being
as II is the most sacred city OF the
faith, is literally the flthiest in Islam.
The most important streets measure
about ten yards in width. The rest
are mere lanes. wonderfully and pic
turesquely crooked and some six feet
wide. The streets were crowded with
tents, camels, mules, asses, horses,
pariah dogs and motley crowd Of pill
grims, unspeakably dishcveled and un-
washed, while the lanes were abSo.

snarling brutes of bright yellowish
color, that serve the purpose of scav-
engers. and the fierce, dry, Arabian
sun that is the sole sanitary inspector
In the country. The din the dogs make
at night is indescribable. A pack OF
jackals would be quiet i'm comparison.

The justly famous Grand canyon OF

PRINCE WITH ODD INSURANCE.
The kaiser's Brother Carries "A 5000
O00 Policy, Payable Only in Case

Prince Henry Of Prussia Is probably
the only person in the world who is
insured against assassination solely
The policy is for 5000 coo. twas when
he sailed for the east to take over the
command of the German feet IN Chi
nese waters sume years ago that be

Reord-Herald.
This assassination risk upon Prince
Henry's life is held by German com
p%anies. and there does not seem TO be
any special danger of their ever being
called upon to pay it. for Prince Henry
is a popular person. and there are sew
eral lives between him and the throne.
1t seems as If the czar Of Russia
would be the monarch most in need
Of a special insurance against assassi-

lily insured. has no special clause in his
policy regarding assassination. He is
a great believer in life insurance. and,
considering the manner in which the
anarchists and nihilists seek his life. it
is no wonder. Within a week of the
birth of his daughter. the little Grand
Duchess Olga. the car had her life in

NATURES OWN CAPITAL CITY.
Grandeur of the Great Rock strue-
lures to BE Seer in the Grand
Canyon of Colorado.

The above phrase is used by John
Muir in characterizing the Grand
Canyon OF the Colorado. of the archi-
t~ectural features of which he writes
in Century:
In trying TO describe the great
pines and sequoias CT the Sierra. ! have
often thought that if one of those
trees could be set by itself in some
city park. its grandeur might there be
impressively realized; while in its
home forests. where all magnitu6es
are great, the weary. satia1ed travel
ers see none of them truly. 1t is SO
with these majestic rock structures.
Though more residual masses of
the plateau. they are lowered with
the grandeur and repose of noun
tains. together with the finely chs
eled carving and modelling of mans
temples and palaces. and often, to a
considerable extent. with their SPIN
metry. Some, closely observed. look
like ruins; but even these stand plumb
and true. and show architectural
forms loaded with lines strictly reeu-
lar and decorative. and all are ar
rayed in colors that storms and time
seem only TO brighten. They are not
placed in regular rows in line with the
river. but "a through ither.' as the
Scotch say. in lavish. exuberant
crowds. as if nature in widest eXtrav-
agance held her bravest structures as
common as gravel piles. Yonder
stands a spiry cathedral nearly five
thousand feet in height. nobly sym
metricai. with sheer buttressed walls
and arched doors and windows as
richly finished and decorated with
sculptures as the great rock temples
of InGia or Egypt. Beside it rises a
huge castle with arched gateway,
turrets. watch-towers, ramparts, etc.
and to right and left palaces. obeli>ks
and pyramids fairly fill the gulf. all
colossal and all lavishly painted and
carved. Here and there a f~at-topped
structure may be seen. or enc imper-
fectly domed: but the prevailing style
is ornate Gothic. with many hints of
Egyptian and Indian.
Throughout this vast extent of
Wild architecture-nature's own capt
tai eity-there seem to be no ordinary
dwellings. All look like grand and
important public structures. except
perhaps some of the lower pyramids,

that the horse had the faculties OF a setter.
