Knowing How to Live.

From the Philadelphia Record.
There is every reason to believe that sani-
tary progress, modern medical discoveries,
a better understanding of physiological pro-
cesses, and Improvements in the kitchen.
&c. as we'll as the more general prosperity
which has enabled a greater number to
avoid the privat1ons which were formerly
so common. have heightened the average
years of man. The census records of CEN
tenarians are almost certainly false, since
the greatest number and the oldest are
found among people who are uneducated
and who have no documentary proofs; but
in countries where education is general and
records are carefully Kept there is now a
larger proportion of people of eighty or
more years than the records of thirty years
ago showed. There is good authority for
the opinion that if men would live up to
their light or would take as good care of
themselves as they can they would live to
be ITO years old-an age which is so very
rare that scientists doubt whether it has
ever been reached by man or woman.
