THE AGING PROCESS.

To drink the waters of the fountain

some, within the range of possibility.
A recent writer observes that man be

In an osseous or bony one He is soft
IN infancy; he is hard I'm old age. Aging

die life has passed more marked de-
velopment of the osslfic character
takes place The arteries become thick
ened with calcareous matter, and there
is interference with circulation. upon
which nutrition depends. The whole
change from youth to old age is one of
steady accumulation of culcarcous dc
posits In the system. Entire blockade
Of the functions of the body Is Il mere
matter of time, and the refuse matter
deposited by the blood through the sys-
tenn stops the delicate machinery we
call life. The blood contains COM
pounds of lime magnesia and iron. In
the blood itself are these earthly salts.
In early life they are thrown off; in
age they are not. Almost everything
we eat contains these elements for de-
stroying life. Earthy salts abound in
the cereals, and bread itself, mistaken
ly called "the staff of life" Is one Of
the most calcareous of edibles. Nitrog-
enous food also contains these ele-
ments; hence n diet made up of fruit il
best for people advanced in years. The
daily use of distilled water is, after
middle life, one of the most important
means of preventing secretions and de-
rangements of health. Diluted phos-
phoric acid is one of the most power
full Influences known to science for
shielding the human system from the
inconvenience of old age. Use It daily
with distilled water and so retard tie
approach of senility. To retain per-
petual youth, avoid all foods rich in
the earth's salts, use much fruit espe-
cially juicy, uncooked apples, and take
daily two or three tumblerfuls of dis
titled water with about fifteen drops
Of diluted phosphorlc acid in each glass
full. Thus will your days be longer in
the land.-Medlcal Age.

A man cannot afford to have an en-
emy, even humble enemy. The
shabby fellow who storms your office
today may be power in the eommu-
nifty next year. Therefore speak to
him gently, send him away with a
smile. Never affect a contemptuous
manner. That is the way of the fool.
In the day of small things plan patient
ly for the day of great things. A polite
word costs nothing. 1t may turn out to
be a good investment. AS a spark OF
dre may turn a city into ashes, so an
impatient gesture or irritable wordmay
kindle a hatred great enough to destroy
q career.

COOKING A CAT.
Northern Italy Would Rather Have
Puss Roasted Thun Boiled.

Puss Roasted Thnn Boiled.
In northern Italy the cat is q fa-
vorite and growing article of food. In
Azeglio, in Venice, in Verona, butchers
sell cats and call them rabbits, for
the state forbids the eating of cats.
but the poor people who have become
the chief buyers of the inferior kinds
of cats are not deceived by their cheap
rabbits.
The proper way to cook a cat is to
toast 1t in an oven until brown, with
onions, garlic, parsley, bay leaf, red
wine and some herbs peculiar to Italy
When boiled, it is not so satisfac
tory. Just before Christmas 1t is coln.
mon for group of young men In
northern Italy to kill some cats, skin
them and soak them in water for two
or three days. They are then cooked
with great care on Christmas day and
served up hot about 1:30 p. m. after
mass.
Italy cultivates the cat for home con-
sumption, as English people raise rab-
bits. 1t is to be done ON the quiet,
however, for in spite of the profit in
the business and the demand for the
delicacy the law has to be looked out
for, and the Society For the Prevention
of Cruelty to Cats is vigilant. Offenses
against the law are visited with i'm
prisonment. Cats are raised for the
market none the less. Fattened on
the finest of milk, n choice specimen
will attain the weight of fifteen pounds

NIGHT ATTACK AT SEA.
boarding Hostile ship From n
Fleet of Small Bonts.

Imagine a hostile ship lying at an
chor in an apparently secure position
on dark and cloudy night. There are
Just enough breeze and sea to make
sounds on the water indistlnct. Around
q low headland half mile away from
the anchored vessel steal four or five
boats, pulled with muflled oars and fill
cd with armed men. They approach
noiselessly.
Perhaps they are not discovered and
thus reach the sides of the ship. The
next instant the armed men are pour
ing over her bulwarks, and desperate
fight takes place on her decks. Per
haps they are discovered before they
reach the vessels side. The alarm Is
given. The men In the boats hear it
and lash their oars through the water
In a determined effort to reach the ship
before the rapid fire guns can open up
on them. Flashes Of fire illumine the
night. The searchlights send out shafts
Of binding white. The sharp peals Of
the six and three Founders, the rapid
hoarse barking Of Hotchkiss revolving
cannon, the vicious sputter of Gatlings,
break upon the frightened air. Give
way with Will" shout the officers of
the boats as the men bend to the oars
and the light guns in the bows hurl
their defiant answers back at the wall
sided ship. AS the boats sweep up to
the vessels side gongs clang and rat
ties sound calling away the rlaemen to
repel boarders from the boats. If the
boats crews can board the ship and
clap down her matches before the crew
gets on deck, theirs is the victory, but
If her secondary battery is manned and
her rifiemen stationed before the boats
are alongside, then goodby to the boat
expedition, for there is nothing more
pitiless than Gatlings and revolving
cannon.--W. ]. Henderson in st. Mich

Killing Rare birds,

Commenting on the craze for killing
rare birds wherever they may be

II should have thought that the fact
that bird is rare would be reason for
not killing It suppose the idea Is
that however rare bird is, something
may still be done to make him rarer."

MORGAN RESIGNS
FOR REST ABROAD2
Gives Up e-Presidency in Ma
tionaI Bank of Commerce and
May Turn 0ther Interests
Over to His Son.

!. p. Morgan has resigned as Vice.
President OF the National Bank of
Commerce. This is recognized as the
Morgan bank Just as the National City
Bank is recognized as the Rockefeller
bank. His action has proved a sur
prise. as he has been identified with the
institution for many years and con-
trolled 1t almost absolutely.
Under the bank charter and bylaws
the board of directors was self-perpetu-
ating, and II was almost impossible for
any outside interest to seize control.
Recently change in the bylaws was
voted which enables the stockholders
from now on to elect directors to suit
themselves and take from the board the
power OF continuing In control indef-
initely, irrespective of the wishes of
those who own the stock of the bank.
When this change was made 1t was
rumored that MIR. Morgan would give
up the Presidency, but no con-
tirmntion could be obtained. 1t is said
to-day thai the retirement of Mr. Nor
gan has no special Significance. as ne

this country.
Tho retirement of Mr.. Morgan gave
rise to the story that there was somo
friction in the Board of Directors. but
this is denied positively. He Is also
large stockholder In the First Ma
tional ana other large banks.
The Board of Directors of the bank
contains the names OF many of the
most important men financially In the
Greater City. The other Vice-Presidents
of the bank are Richard A. McCurdy,
James II. Hyde. Thomas F.. Ryan and
Henry A. Smith. The bank since its
consolidation is the orilcial bank of the
Equitable Life and Mutual Life inter-
csts. which are really now in control OF
the bank.
rhe periodical statement of the bank
Just issued shows the resources to ex-
ceed $220,000.OO0 and the gross deposits
are near Sl75, .000 while the loans and
discounts aggregate S114 100, 900. The bank
now is practically as strong as the Ma

while its loans are greater than those
