WAITED FOR KINAU's MAIL.

The delay that occurred i'm the de-
parture of the 5. S. Mongolia last
Saturday was not due to any failure of
the local postal authorities to have the
local mail ready, for that was in hand
in time for the vessel. But the boat was
held about 40 minutes i'm order to al
low the post Office people to get up
the mail arriving by the steamer XII
nau for the mainland. The Kinau ar
rived after 10 a. m. from her run. The
agents of the Mongolia postponed the
departure of the Mongolia so that the
post Office people were able to get the
mail up and Hawaii and Maui Christ
mas presents got away for the Main

Sir Edward Fry, who has escaped
after long service in the stuffy law

seventy-seven near Bristol, makes a
very brief but significant reply in
Latin, which may be translated:

Justice Mccarthy, who is seventy

old is to keep up steady, regular
work, have as much open air and
physical exercise as possible and
think as little as may be about the ad-

William Thompson (Lord Kelvin),
the first scientist to be made peer,
now in his eighty-frst year, was in

sity last Tueday. It is remarked of
him that the brilliant intellect which
has done mankind such infinite SER
vice for sixty years is as keen as ever.
The imagination which has pioneered
SO many epoch-making discoveries is
still as vivid as in his early days,
when as young man he solved the
problem of rendering the mariners
compass immune from distracting in
t1uences of terrestrial magnetism.
"For sixty years it has been my

The Secret of Il Long life.

Length of days seems to be the chief
desire OF most men. Life and health
and strength and mental activity are
among the chief desires of mankind,
and why should they not be? From
any and every human point of view
they are surely desirable
There is certainly a purpose in
every life, but that purpose can hardly
be accomplished except in conjunction
with health and strength, both bodily
and mental, and length of days.
Therefore any suggestion that leads
toward the attainment of these ends
should be welcomed by all.
The editor of weekly English pa
per has been making a special study
of this subject and has interviewed
many old men as to their habits and
as to what they consider the reason
back Of their long and useful lives.
The following is brief of some of
the replies made to him: 80.
| Lord Avebury, who, notwithstand-
ing busy life in the realms of CON-

declares, lis to eat little, drink little.

Frederick Harrison, chairman of
the English pcsitivist committee, who
long since passed his three score years
and ten, has been great traveller in
his day, and who, Notwithstanding
his years, still takes pleasure in long
walks, gives this advice:
"Touch not tobacco, spirits not any
unclean things; rise from every meal
with an appetite, walk daily two
hours, sleep nightly seven hours:
reverence all to whom reverence is
due and be content with what Won
have.'
To look at DR.. Haig Brown, master
OF the Charter House, none would ever
think he had attained the age of
eighty-one, and he attributes his long
