How to Keep Young.

One Of the secrets of keeping young,
vigorous and supple jointed is to con-
hnue to practice the activities Of youth
and to refuse to allow the mind to
stiffen the muscles by it's suggestion
of age limitations. If men like Peter
Cooper and William E. Gladstone, who
kept up the vitalizing exercises Of ro-
bust manhood when far into the
eighties, had succumbed at forty to the
thought of approaching age, how much
OF their valuable life work would have
remained undone!-Success.

Count Won Buelow, German minister
of foreign affairs since 1900. had had q.
career crowded with donors and ac-
tivity. He was born in Holstein on
May 3, 1S49, and was educated at the
universities of lausanne, Leipsic and
berlin. He entered the Prussian regi-
ment of royal hussars for the cam.
paign of 1870 and served in this regis
ment as lieutenant until 1872. From
1872 to 1873 he was attached to the
president of the district of Metz. IN
1873 he entered the diplomatic service,
where his Advancement was rapid. For
a year he was attached in the foreign
office in Berlin and from 1674-75 he was
an attache at Rome, in the latter year

The monument is a striking piece
of wofk. The principal figure rep

broken and dropping by its side, and
the other extended but pierced with
bullets one claw firmly grasps the
French flag, while with the other the
mortally wounded bird defends the
colors on which are inscribed the
words: "Austerlitz" and "Eylau."
The eagle is of bronze, and stands
on a huge bowlder of marble over
which the flag droops on one side

inscription. the exact text of which

it will contain the date of the battle
