Painting in Lodge Room Damaged
by Goat.
An oil painting of George Washing.
ton, measuring six by eight feet, which
ornamented the assembly room of a
hotel in Long Island City, has been
damaged by goat, and is believed by
the owner to be beyond repair.
Recently the owner of the hotel bor.
rowed large white goat and was fat
tening him to have him in frisky con
dition for lodge initiation, at which
it was planned the goat would be an
important feature. 1t was found the
goat had fondness for stale bread. SO
daily he was allowed to visit the back
of the lunch counter in the barroom
to eat the ends of loaves thrown there
by the bartender. On Saturday there
was rush Of business. When the
goat had eaten his fill of bread no one
paid any attention to him.
The animal wandered into the as.
sembly room, mounted a tagle, and,
resting his forefeet on the top of the
wainscoting, proceeded to make a des
sert of the painting. He had torn it
badly when an employee of the hotel
discovered the goat. The animal was
kicked into the street, and the lodge
will do without the feature.-New

To Postpone Old Age

Nobody ever dies a natural death.
Old age, the premature old age. which
is the only kind We know, is patho-
logical condition. Such are the opin-
ions of DR.. Ellie Metchnikoff, not a
fakir, but serious person, who stud
les things through microscope at
the Pasteur institute. Each of us
swarms with tiny beasts of prey,
which travel up and down our bodies,
seeking what they may devour. By
attacking our beneficient cells, pre-
viously weakened by the unwise life
we all lead, they produce an artificial
senility, the malady which kills those
men whom in our ignorance we call
very old.
Looked at from DR.. Metchnikoff's
standpoint, old age is merely a prob
lem for medical science. How shall
we help our beneflcient cells in their
struggle against the enemy? One way
would be to take every baby and cut
out his larger intestine, an organ
which ought not to have been includ-
ed in our anatomy. At present this
cannot be done, as the operation is
risky. A second method would be to
destroy the beasts Of prey. But we
do not yet know what they exactly
