Ten Tips for Long Life.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
First-Rise early, retire early and fill your
day with work.
Second-Water and bread maintain life;
pure air and sunshine are indispensable to
health and do not worry.
Third-Frugality and sobriety form the
best elixir Of longevity.
Fourth-Cleanliness prevents rust; the
best-cared for machines last the longest.
Fifth-Enough sleep repairs waste and
strengthens; too much sleep softens and
enfeebles.
Sixth-To be sensibly dressed is to give
freedom to ones movements and enough
warmth to be protected from sudden
changes of temperature.
Seventh-A clean and cheerful house
makes a happy home.
Eighth-The mind Is refreshed and invig-
GRATED by distractions and amusements
but abuse of them leads to dissipation and
dissipation to vice.
Ninth-Cheerfulness makes love of life,
and love Of life is half of health. On the
contrary, sadness and discouragement has
ter old age.
Tenth-Do you gain your living by your
intellect? Do not forget to cultivate your
mind and to enlarge your thought. Do you
earn your bread by your pickax? Then do
not allow your arms and limbs to grow
stiff.

fat legs were on occasion laced into rea-
sonable proportions. Legs decked out in
that fashion went naturally with the man
of the previous century who thought that
he, the rooster, should outshine in raiment
the little brown hen. But times have
changed. The rooster of the human race
now desires to dress. not gaudily, but in
such good taste that the mere passer-by
cannot recall what he had on. Good taste
and harmony are sought now. and nothing
especially noticeable or attractive Is ac-
cepted by the trousered man Of today.
Trousers, too, hide minor imperfections,
rendering padding unnecessary. They can
be put on or OF In a fire alarm without ma
terial loss OF time, and the dudes who think
they can revive the knee breeches of the
handles of the days Of Charles II do not
give due consideration to the changes of
time. Men are no longer handles. They
are hustlers, full Of vigor. intellectual and
practical. Fine dress has been handed
over to the other sex, and the men of today
regard with contempt Of the deepest sort
the knee breeches Of the last century. This
fs the trousers age, and it win be continued
indefinitely. The dandy Ii a relic of an idle
and silly past, and his knee breeches have
been dismissed as part OF his folly and
frivolity.

righteousness and of truth, and that no one
need fear following truth and righteousness
to the best of his knowledge.
