The TrOlley's Fright of Way"
November Century Editorial.


That a trolley car should come changing

horsemen on the public highway, warning
them 10 clear the track at peril of life and
that the motorman, after the death of one
OF the party, the frightful injury of an
other, and lesser injury to still others
should proclaim his right OF way with
prompt enrontery, is only an incident of
an extraordinary state of things which has
sprung up in a few years with regard to
our streets and roads. These have been in
vaded, with rapidity that is dumfound-
Ing, by uses never contemplated, and which
the public should have been better advised

foot passengers and private conveyances

reduced to minimum.

CENTENARIAN LORE.
Rules for Living One Hundred Years
Vary Widely.
Boston Transcript.

1t seems to the Listener that an unusually
large number of centenarians is coming in
under the wire this year. each one rejoicing
as strong manor woman-who has run
the race or life with success and distinction.
1t is no cause for wonder that each one as
he or she reaches the goal should be little
vain over the span thus covered and as
sumo the right to give expert counsel to all
who have found existence pleasant enough
to desire to make records in longevity. The
trouble is, however, that the centenarians
disagree more radically than even the doc
tors. The various recipes for long life
which they give US are not carefully
worked out and philosophical conclusions,
with allowance for the personal variant,
but rather recitals of individual habits and
methods OF living, very confusing and fire.

equation undeducible. Thus not long ago

before o'clock. Eat breakfast soon after

famous lexicon DR.. johnson defined oats
as "a kind of grain eaten by horses and
Scotchmen." What a contemptuous recep-
ton this prohibition OF oatmeal would get
at the hands OF Mrs. Margaret McFethries.
a native OF Scotland. but now a resident
of Springfield. with a great-grandchild
teaching school there, and who like the
other two authorities quoted, was an Au-
gust baby of 1902! She would probably claim
that oatmeal had been the sheet-anchor of
herself and her numerous progeny In all
their buffetngs with life. There appears
to be agreement, however. on one point,
and that an important one. Don't worry -
they say with one accord. That is good
advice for those who can follow it; but IL
will not carry everybody to a hundred
years. Perhaps the best rule for longev-
ity is TO first select parents OF sound
health and strong constitutions and then
live a regular and peaceful life afterward
