Some Secrets of Long Life.

In so far as there can be said to be
any secrets of long life, they may be
stated to be three in number.
The first is the conservation of en-
ergy; the second is moderation, and
the third is system. And the greatest
of the three is conservatism of energy,
with which the others are built up.
Practice this to the utmost, and you
will live to the maximum, says Ray
mond 3. Long, NJ. D.
a man works forty-nine weeks Of
the year in the city, and works hard,
and then he spends the three weeks
holiday roaming about from place to
place, and keeping both mind and body
continually at work. He prattles about
the benefits accruing from change of
scene and so on. 1t is terrible mis-
take. Holiday time in the case of such
people should be made a special period
for the conservation of energy. How,
then. should such people make holt
day? Lie in bed all the time? That
is the best thing for them to do, and
will tend to the prolongation of their
lives.
Too much is said in extolling the
virtues of exercise. In moderation ii
is beneficial; but many Of the public
have strange ideas of moderation in
such matters. A clerk will work all
day with his head and work with his
legs ut night. He thinks the long
walk is good for him. The fresh air is
but in the exercise he is not conserv.
ing his energy as he should do to make
his life long. Mental and bodily en-.
ergy come to the same thing at the fin.

stock of one, you must not then tap

Eat good food and plenty of it," is

A Picture of John Bull.

Nor is it only in flesh that John Bull
is hopelessly out of date. 1t is worse.
He has no brains. He embodies, in
his fatuous good-humor, in the farm
er's suit, in his obvious provincialism,
the British horror of ideas. He is
just the man who would leave ideas
to miserable frog-eating Frenchmen.
He despises theories. His talk is Of
bullocks. His Imagination has never
travelled beyond the nearest market
town. His universe lies within the
parish boundaries. Squire and par
son, himself and Hodge are to him
the ultimate cOsmic facts. A man
who thinks for himself had better be
put under the parish pump. That
will settle his business. AS for the
Continentals, they are mostly fools.
He does not trouble his head with
their hash, writes Canon H. Scott Hol-
land in the London Commonwealth.
Is not that the man? And we
actually go and crack him up, as the
very type of what an Englishman
ought to be, at moment when we
are concerned, intimately and seriously,
with every European race in all quar-
tiers of the globe; when we are touch
ing them at all sorts Of delicate
points, where things are complicated,
and tactless word, or a single blum
dering act, may bring down storm
which may shake the Empire. We
revel in our own idea-less stupidity, at
an hour when brains count for more
and more every day, in the shaping Of
history; and when the sharpest AM
erican wits, and the enormous intel
lectual industry of Germany, and the
keen subtlety of France are pitted
against us, in the worlds affairs and
markets, with an ever increasing in
tensity.
Once again, the fat creature is
without an ounce Of imagination. He
has no horizons. He has "stubbed
Thornaby Waste" as his highest
achievement; and after that, he has
but one cry that lasts him into the
very hour of death, "Gie me my aale."
And yet he holds the gorgeous East in
Fee. His Empire out-heralds all
tabled dreams. 1t is the highest
imaginative creation that human his
tory has ever flung up. That big fat
man is the greatest Mahommedan
ruler in the world. And that is only
a fraction of the wonder with which
his hand is laid upon all that fairy
life, so rich and mystic, and immense
which passes before our astounded
eyes in the magic pages of "Kim." And
there are the millions of dusky Africa;
and the swarms of Southern Islands.
Their fate lies with him. Can he un-
derstand? Can he pass inside their
strange story, and discover the cue
and unravel the mystery? Can he
draw out of them their true life, and
wake in them the power of Imperial
citizenship? Look at his gross face!
Why he has never got further, you
can see. than the elementary verdict
that every man must wallop his own
Niger!
And, moreover, he is an old pagan,
even though he is, probably, Church
warden at Little Snorum You know
him. He is steady in his pew on
Sunday. and carries the bag.
The Irish standard., 1902-01-04

he is suspected he is to be treated as
an outlaw and shot down. The people
are being brought in from the country
and cooped up in the towns. Those
who refuse to come are to be hunted
down."
The same correspondent says that
if the people of America had any idea
of the cruelties perpetrated in ---e
islands howl would go up from one
end of the country to the other. He
is mistaken. n, atrocities are known
to the American people, but they will
keep silent. SO will the press. When
an independent paper like the Irish
Standard refers to the crimes commit
ed in the Philippines, some Americans
of Republican proclivities would sup
press it if they dared.
The Minneapolis Journal, though an
administration organ, is the only in
fluential daily paper in the Northwest
that published Mr.. Obs correspon-
dence. That gentleman gives accounts
| of villages burned and innocent lives
taken by Chaffce's soldiers, and charg-
cs them with wholesale attacks upon
native women. Is it not time for
President Roosevelt to take some ac-
ton in this matter? The ruffians who
are guilty of such conduct deserve
condign punishment. What can other
nations outside of England think of
such depredations? A change of pol
icy in regard to the Philippines de-
mands the attention of congress at the
beginning of the new year.

The Public comments on Chaffee's
characterization of the Filipinos as
war traitors" and says: War traitors
to whom? To foreign invaders. But
history is rich in such parallels. The
trouble with General Chaffee is that
The is misled by words. This action of
"a whole people" in revolt against a
foreign invader he calls treason;
whereas history always calls such re-
colts patriotism. Let General Chatree
substitute devoted patriots for "war
traitors" and he will find historical
parallels in abundance.
