British Scientist Says the Average Of
Life Has Been Extended Ten
Years-But other Question His
Statement

Statement.
The best way to live to produce
health and happiness AMI to prolong
life continues to be a never-ending
problem Has any progress been made
toward its solution? Dr.. Oliver Fer
guson, a well known British scientist
in a recent lecture at Oxford, said:
For those happy people who shall
be living a hundred years hence there
probably no longer will be any dread OF
infection, for perhaps before then
thanks to radium and its congeners-
we shall have exteminated all nox-
ious bacteria, and our grandchildren.
therefore. all will live hundred years
or more"
He maintained that the average
length or life has been extended about
ten years within the last sixty. but
the proof was apparently not furnished.
On the contrary, royal commission,
investigating that subject in connec-
ton with the army, found q very seri-
GUS deterioration in the British race.
In this case proof was furnished in the
increased difficulty of obtaining army
recruits and in the character Of the re-
cruits when obtained.
Premier Balfour found an explana-
tion in the emigration from Great Brit
ain and in the removal of the best OF
the country people" to the towns and
cities. Whatever the explanation, there
Is no question that there has been an
impairment of the race in England.
This does not appear to agree with DR..
Ferguson's statement AZ to an extern
sion Of the average length Of life about
q decade. That extension Of life would
be the result Of better care Of the
health and would not accord with the
finding Of the royal commission.
Progress Is being made all the time
in the ilscovefy OF the cause and cure
Of disease. Many-smallpox, for in
stance. which ravased England in for
mer time-are now comparatively un-
known. This PROCESS should have an
effect in lengthening human life. That
will be accomplished whenever proper
attention is given to dieting and to
sleeping. A well regulated system
Of eating and drinking, with plenty OF
sleep and exercise, will, as . rule. pro-
long the life of almost any person.
But many take what they can get.
though more choice might perhaps be
exercised.
The advocates Of less food seem to
present a good case. It is claimed
that as a result Of recent experiments
in decreasing the amount of food e.
fciency was increased from 100 to 200
per cent. A champion wrestler in
creased his units Of efficiency from
$500 to 5000. The smaller consump-
tion OF food is said to have been at
tended with greater keenness and en-
ergy and less deposition to become
fatigued. Doubtless eating less and
masticating the food better would re
suit in great Improvement. But the
majority of the human race seems IN
disposed to make the test-Philadel.

GRAND ARMY STIRRED

Escape Of General BedeIl's War
Orderly From a Paralytic's Fate.

When Mr.. Ross c.. Duffy. OF No. Is

suddenly FRUSTRATED by a paralytic
shock, the deepest concern was felt
throughout the town in which he had
been prominent official
Grand Army men were especially So
licitous for in the Civil war Mr.. Duffy
had acted as General Bedells orderly
while serving with Co. F. Third regi-
ment. New Hampshire Volunteer in

member of General Foster Post, G. A.
r., and rose to be department vice.
commander.
The general anxiety felt about him
after his sudden shock in the latter
part of 1901, was slightly relieved by
the news that he had come out of a
state of Inconsistencies which had
lasted for five days. but as week after
week went by and he made no further
progress, one leg remaining paralyzed,
it was concluded that the highly hon
ored veteran must at best remain a
cripple for life.
Suddenly to the surprise and delight
of every one Mr.. Duffy appeared on
the street in Enthusiastically robust
health and was overwhelmed by con-
gratulations and inquiries:
1.-THE regular treatment. said Mr..
Duffy, didn't do bit of good, SO far
as my paralyzed leg was concerned.
My left leg remained cold and dead,
and I had been too active man to
be content to be housed up with one
dead leg if there was any possible way
to cure it. I finally stumbled on help
by the merest chance. got my clue
of a Boston paper from the story of a

nTOOTSIE" MEYERS
HAD TROUBLE

When 'sTootsie" Meyers of the Trav-

pheur, left San Francisco, she caused
somewhat of a connection, according
to the following IN the Call of May O.:
Each member of the company had a
score of friends on the wharf, and as
nearly every other of the S1erra's many
passengers was equally attended the
capacity of the wharf was taxed to the
limit. Those going away had goodby

luck for the voyagers and remembrances
to somebody in Honolulu or in the An
tipodes, and everybody shouted his mes
sage at the same time and kept repeating
it in chorus until the liners lines were
cast off.
Miss Meyers ootsie,' as she is
known in the theatrical family which
has adopted her-was the heroine of a
little comedy that, judging by "Toot-
sie's tears, seemed tragedy OF deepest
hue to her.
"Tootsie' loves the stage and its peo-
pie. @Tootsie's' papa, however, cares
little for either and loves his little girl
more than all the American travesty
companies that ever went to sea. "Toot-
Sic is just II, and her aptness behind
the footlights has added more than a
few dollars to the family exchequer.

w. B. Scott pleaded guilty to lndlcl-

Bolt made extended remarks to show
why the defendant should receive the
highest penalty the law allowed. From
the statements of counsel it appeared
that the offense was not attended by
aggravating circumstance, having con-
sisted in the commission of the act
charged under sudden temptation. He
had known the defendant for some
years and regarded him always as
man of good character. 1t was some
times harder to confess than to COM
nit crime, hence the conduct of the
defendant, in coming into court and
confessing his guilt showed at least one
noble trait in his character. Defendant
had also engaged to make restitution.
The sentence of the court was that the
defendant pay a fine of $500 and costs
