SCIENCE AND OLD AGE.
Man Should Live Long Enough 90
Welcome, Not Dread. Death,


Welcome, Not Dread, Death,
From twenty to fifty a man should
live for himself and his family, from
fifty to 100 for science and humanity
and after hundred for the state. Hon
ored, useful, in full possession of all
his faculties at siXscore years and ten,
the graybeard of the approaching fu-
ture will be among the most enviable
Of mankind, for the fear of death is
an alteration.
The fact is that only one man in a
million at present dies natural death.
We should live till 140 years of age. A
man who expires at seventy or eighty
is the victim of accident, cut off in the
flower of his days, and he unconscious
ly resents being deprived of the fifty
years or so which nature owes him.
Leave hinl little longer and in due
time he will desire to die, as child at
dusk desires to sleep. The sandman
will pass!
All our instincts drop from us one by
one. The child cries for mothers milk.
The idea of such an ailment is repug
nant to the adult. The desires fol-
sweets, for play, for love and lovemak-
ing, for long walks and adventures are
all impulses that have their day and
pass, and the wish to live is an In
stinct which fails also with safety

Cicero and His DAUGHTER.

History abounds with examples of
the love that has existed between IA
Their and daughter which proved SUI
perior to the changes of time and for
tune, defying even death itself, and en-
tering into the records Of humanity,
lmperishable and immortal
One of the most beautiful instances
was the love of Cicero for Tullia. She
was woman of high attainments and
exalted character, with qualities of
heart and mind that peculiarly fitted
her to be her fathers intimate COM
paniOn.
After her death he could find neither
consolation for her loss nor distraction
for his grief. Affairs of state, weighty
matters of political and personal in
terest, even the sympathy of Brutus
and Caesar, could not dispel the melan-
choly that settled down upon his soul
and forced him for time into retire
ment. He wrote Of her in these touch
ing words: "a daughter had in whose
sweet conversation l could drop all my
cares and troubles. But now every
thing is changed" at is all over with
me, Atticus. | feel it more than ever
now that l have lost the only being
who still bound me to life"

COST OF TRAIN LUXURY.
The Reason That Railway Passenger
Rntaa Arc So High

Rates Are So High.
1t may be asked why the railway To-
comotive does not pull passengers at
lower rate. Because it gives pas
sengers so much room, comfort and
high speed that it has to carry ton
of dead weight for each passenger. A
locomotive weighing 100 tons pulls at
45 miles an hour II cars weighing 600
tons and containing $50 people weigh
ing 30 tons, assuming the passengers
to be men, women and children, but
chiefly men, and to average 131 pounds
! each; 1,400 pounds of dead weight per
passenger when every seat is taken.
But cars cannot average more than
seven-tenths full.
The railway carries free the pas
! senger's $50 pound trunk and sends
with him toilet rooms, heating stoves
and fuel, smoking rooms, dining rooms
and bedrooms. These houses on wheels
and the locomotive which draws them
have to be made very heavy in order
TO get the great strength made neces-
sary by high speed.
If the railway could dispense with
these comforts and Injuries and carry
passengers packed closely inside and
! on top of low rooted, ramshackle, un-
heated vehicles like the old stage and
at slow speed it could pull passengers
at one-tenth to one-twentieth the price
of the old stage.-Engineering Maya

coraIs of Our own Coast.

1t is common notion that cOrals
grow only in tropical and subtropical
waters and that no coral reefs are to
be found along our own familiar
coasts. As a matter of fact, coral
formations stretch all along the Allan
tic coast of the United States, although
the reefs do not rise SO high that they
project from the water. Some OF the
most beautiful of the living coral in
the New York aquarium was dredged
up from the Atlantic ocean almost
within sight of the city of New York,
and there are many coral patches still
closer to the shores. Generally the
northern coral is snow white, although
sometimes it has a delicate brown tint.
Pink coral is found occasionally, but it
is rare.

An Exclusive Elevator.

There is perhaps no elevator in the
world more exclusive than that provid-
ed at the capitol for the supreme court
of the United States. That elevator
can be used by exactly eleven people,
and no one else would for a moment
consider entering it except as the guest
of one Of these eleven privileged gentle
men. The fortunate eleven are the nine
justices of the United States supreme
court, the clerk and the marshal OF the
court. The elevator goes from the
ground floor of the capitol to the main
floor. on which is located the supreme
court of the United States. 1t is a
small elevator, so that with its CON
ductor, three portly forms Of justices
of the supreme court of the United
States would fill. it, 1t is one Of the
very latest designs of electric elevators
and is finished in magnificent style

card of Thanks.

In behalf of the members of our
family desire to express thanks for
the sympathy of many friends and
neighbors during the illness of my
brother, who AIN glad to say is re-
to the people of FlOrahome for the
interest shown in our welfare, the
expression of which took other forms
than words.
The feeling of oneness is charac-
teristic of our people. When any of
their number is sick or in distress
they have proved themselves capa-
Bile of rendering assistance without
the fOrmality of secret orders or sick
benefit societies.
Generally speaking anyone who
has passed thru an illness in our
town cannot but feel that although
there are no high marble sky scra-
pers or great financial combines,
there are some pretty big hearts in
Florahome. That is the first essen
tial, and the electric cars and sky
scrapers will come as fast as tn ey
become essential.
The genial touch that makes us all
akin
With brothers love receive each
other in,
And sympathy in word and deed ex-
pressed.
To aid and comfort all who are dis
tressed,
How precious are the deeds which
love incite
When friendships ardor makes the
service light;
For kindness freely shown esteemed
friends.
Accept a gratitude most free that
never ends.

If two persons raise their glasses to

A BERTH JACK SHlRKS.
Nova Scotia Ships Are Said to BE the
Worst A1lOat.

Worst A1lOat.
The worst case in the way of ship
into which Jack can go is Nova SEQ
tian. A certain Nova Scotia ship came
into port at Santos one day with crew
that was little short of mutinous owing
to the fact that the captain was too
Spaling of the ratiOns. The ship had a
bad name among sailors at the best,
and as soon as she was anchored the
entire crew cleared out. For three
weeks after she had discharged and got
her new cargo she lay there with no
crew to take her to sea. At last the
captain went to some of the crimps on
shore and told them to round up crew
under any preteXt. The crimps sent
men around the docks Offering big
wages to any of the loungers who
would go aboard the vessel to rig
some new sails. Some twenty men
were quickly picked up, many Of them
in their shirt sleeves, and were taken
aboard. They were then covered with
revolvers and rifles by the officers,
and the anchor was weighed, and the
Nova Scotia ship stood out to sea, her
unwilling crew leaving families behind
without even chance TO let them
know what had happened. The next
port was Sydney, and the next Yoke,
hama, then San Francisco, then Val
paraiso, then Lisbon, and for those men
who stayed with the ship it was just
two and half years until she went to
Grande du Sui, the nearest port home
Many of them, however, had cleared
out and gone home in other ships long
before that-Broughton Brandenburg
