HOW TO STAY YOUNG.

How old are you? The adage says
that women are as old as they look
and men as old as they feel. That's
wrong. A man and woman are as old
as they take themselves to be.
Growing old is largely habit of the
mind. .'As man thinketh in his
heart so is he" II he begins shortly
after middle age to imagine himself
growing old he will be old.
To keep oneself from decrepitude is
somewhat a matter OF viii power. The
fates are kind to the man who hangs
on TO life with both hands. He who
lets go will go. Death is slow only to

outer man perisheth the inner man is

ert itself, when there is no longer an
active interest in the affairs of this

The mountainous arctic iceberg
which may perhaps tear hole in the
bow OF an ocean liner and which has
been known TO send smaller vessels to
the bottom. has been many years in
the making. 1t starts in fake OF
snow somewhere in the great ice cap

IS perhaps half mile thick. the accu-

weight OF the cap through great val
