Recipes for Long Life.

From the New York Sun.
Next in number to the recipes for the
Punishment of warts are the recipes for
the attainment of long life. The philoso-
pher who buys an annuity and resolves to
have length Of days Is bewildered by the
multitude and variety of the means of
reaching that end. Early to bed, late to
bed; plenty Of exercise. none at all; no
smoking allowed, smoke all you please;
water from the brook, the drink Of Israeps
champion, whisky in moderation: stick to
a diet. eat what you like: avoid tea and
coffee. swig tea and coffee freely; live ON
cereals, live on vegetables. live on meat or
milk; be as regular as <clockwork, be az
irregular as Old Parr or the crankiest verb;
you can find among the centenarians exam
pies Of almost every system and schedule
and want of them.
We knew a fine old fellow Of ninety-seven
who used to preach to his grandchildren the
necessity OF avoiding worry Every rainy
day he would walk on the railroad track.
He was deaf as an adder and his grand
children used to do the worrying. Another
patriarch of our acquaintance has drunk
hard cider out OF tin dipper before break
fast. for years that outrun memory Per-
versity or genius; who knows? Sometimes
1t seems an IL these secular worthless had
some incommunicable charm, az II they
had put death to sleep or bound him tight
for period. as Player Jack did in the folk
tale. They cannot be expected to publish
secret which would make old age COM
mon and deprive them Of their distinction.

The Saturday Half-Holiday.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
One Of the gratifying signs of a more hui
name attitude on the part of the public to-
ward the toilers Is the growth of the COM
mendable practice of granting Saturday
nalf-hoidays In summer to men and wo-
men employed in the various lines Of in
dustrtal activity. We speak of the more
humane attitude of the public" for the
reason that the public has been largely to
blame for the notion entertained by some
employers that they must keep stores open
for full six days of the week. So long as
there were shoppers on Saturday after
noon many employers readily awaited them
selves OF this excuse for declining to give
the needed half-holiday to employees 1t Is
also true that there have always been en-
pioyers who needed no excuse for exacting
the full pound of flesh from jaded and
weary toilers in the hot summer months
No consideration of any kind appealed to
them.
Happily, however. the disposition of en-
plOyers Is such nowadays that the public
Will be largely to blame If the Saturday
Dal1-honday habit does not become univer-
sal If shoppers and other patrons of
stores will show enough consideration for
empioyes TO do their purchasing on Satur-
day morning or defer it until the following
Monday. there is little doubt that 1t will as
sure more general adoption of the Satur-
day half holiday practice. Men in all times
OF business recognize the necessity for some
relaxation from the strenuous strain and
stress OF business. They not only take pro-
tracted vacations themselves but generally
grant season OF rest and recreation to of
nee employees. assistants and executive
heads Of departments. The summer is OBJ
viousiy the time for this relaxation. Sat-
urday half holidays during the summer to
all classes of employees will compensate in
a measure for the lack OF the more extend
ed vacations which many unfortunately
are not permitted to enjoy

sELF-sEEKING CARDINALS.
Charge That They Urged Leo to Over
tax His Strength.

ROME. July g. 9:25 amin Vatican cir
cles there seems to be dissatisfaction be-
cause of the rumors in circulation to the
effect that those in authority, instead Of
preventing the pope from overtaxing his
failing strength. have for their own pur-
poses urged him, contrary to his physi-
clans advice, to further exertion.
1t has been limited that those who
might be eligible candidates for the chair
of st. Peter would not have many regrets
should the way be left open without more
delay, and that. regardless OF the pontifr 3
feeb1eness, they worked upon his harmless,
natural pride in the vigor Of his constitu-
ton at this venerative age to encourage
him to preside at the Vvo recent cons.sto-
ries. as wen as to undertake numeAous re-
captions Of pilgrims and other visitors to
the eternal city, notwithstanding the pre-
carious condition of his health since the
operation of 1890, which had grown much
worse during the last few months.
Under the circumstances. such insinua-
tons are energetically repudiated by those
concerned.

Women in England.
From the New York Times

Emigration, war and other causes are
producing in England a preponderance of
females over males which is disQuieting
to students OF social problems. OF the
total population of 32.5Z7, S43 persons In
England and Wales. 10 go are fe-
males and l5.72Y,613 are males And the
relative proportion Of females is steadily
increasing. having gained by about per
cent In the last forty years. showing that
the existing relation Is not an accidental
or monetary condition, but exists In
obedience to a natural law. The Stats
tics of marriage also reveal some sur
prfsfng facts. 70 every six married per-
sons in England there are eleven unmar-
ried and one widowed OF both sexes, and
there are more than two widows for
every widOwer. This would seem to show
that the 'expectancy'' of the married
woman was somewhat greater than that
OF the married man. Perhaps it does but
one Is confused by the discovery that six
wives and eight widows are credited with
having passed the century mark while
ten husbands and thirty-two widowers
have done the same A mans chances of
great longevity as compared with wo-
two to fourteen. The most interesting
fact Is. perhaps the large number of
widower centenarians. The conclusion
might be reached that q man bears the
a woman does. and those who may find
this thought interesting may draw from
1t what conclusions they prefer.
Leaving children out OF account and
reckoning only those old enough to shift
for themselves. there are in England to-
day, according to the census over a mil
lion more women than men. This Il
not because the birth returns show that
more girls are born than boys Indeed
the boys show predOminance OF births
over deaths Of 118 per cent, while the
girls show only II per cent A SUFFICIENT
explanation Is that more boys emi9rate
in one way or another than girls Also.
that more men are killed By accident by
overexertion and exposure and by ytcsous
indulgence in intoxIcants

TEXTILE WORKERS STRIKE.
Little Change in the Situation at
PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA. July 6.-The sixth
week of the textile workers strike began
today with both sides firm in their posi-
lions. The strike leaders expressed the
opinion that the textile industry will re-
main at a standstill during the balance OF
the season. Another attempt was made to-
day by the manufacturers to terminate the
strike. When the whistles at nearly all of
the mills summoned the strikers to work
the number Of operatives responding was
80 small that none of the plants could re-
sumo.
1t is reported that an understanding has
been reached between John and James
Dobson and their hands. This firm en-
ploys 1.5O0 operatives in one Of its two
mills, and two hundred cloth and blanket
weavers are said to have decided to return
to work tomorrow. In consequence Of this
decision a number of leaders visited Falls
of Schuylkill today and called a meeting
of Dobson's day workers. urging them to
remain away from the plants 1t is argued
that without the assistance of the day
workers the weavers will be unable to
operate the mills.

Demands a Jury Trial.

James Brown, colored, who runs a shoe
shining parlor at 1922 M street northwest,
was arrested by the officers of the third
precinct last night charged with conduct
ing an unlicensed bar. When his case was
called in the Police Court before Judge
Kimball today he demanded jury trial
and the hearing was postponed.
The officers of the third precinct led by
Sergeant Williams. made a raid on Brown 8
establishment last night, and in their
search of the premises found a demijohn
partly filled with liquor. a number of beer
and whisky glasses and several TASKS of

AT TIE LEGATION RESIDENCE.
A Slightly Hopeful Feeling at Receipt
Of Cablegram.

| There was slightly hopeful feeling for
the preservation Of the life of Pope Leo
XIII at the papal legation in this city to-
day, when at $50 clock a cablegram was
received from Cardinal Rampolla stating
that the condition Of the holy father was
no worse. This message was as follows:
THE condition Of the holy father is still
grave. but not worse. Night calm. Takes
food without repugnance. State Of mind
perfect 70
The telegram; was in Latin OF which the
above is a. translation by q member OF the
legation. But the fact that strong stimu-
lants have been administered and from the
gathering of the cardinals in Rome the
conclusion Of those who are following
events very carefully Is that the favorable
cablegrarue can, hardly be expected to In
dictate any, such improvement that will lead
to the rpre3ongatiOn Of the life OF the pope
more than a very short time. though the
aged pontif has on so many occasions
recovered his health after spells of illness
that it would not be altogether surprising

Is no definite opinion as to the outcome OF
the election of his successor. It has often

the time he was young man. II there

The effect of the election of a pope to
succeed Leo XIII on the policy of the
church In America is a matter that Is not
easy to predict by those qualified to fore
see such matters, although no material
change is anticipated
The first official news of the illness of the
pope was received here last evening at the
papal legation at o'clock 1t was in the
form Of cablegram from Cardinal Ram
polla, secretary of state at Rome. and was
addressed to Delegate Mgr. Falconio. who
was in Grand Rapids, Mich. at that time.
This cablegram read:
Holy father suffering from pneumonia
and senility. Condition is grave. especially
on account of his age
Mgr. Falconio is expected here very soon.
as he would wish to be at the legation If
the pope should die at this time. The
pope's death, however, would not necessi-
tate the return OF Mgr. Falconio to Rome
In the event of the death of the pope the
Catholic churches here will be draped for
one month AS soon as the several churches
are officially notified of his death requiem
mass will be celebrated.
