Grow Young IN You Grow Old.

Next to air and food in the human
economy comes exercise. We may
have plenty of fresh air, and proper
allowance Of the right kind of food,
and yet, without helpful daily eXer-
else these will not avail to keep the
body in good condition. In answer to
the question, why do we grow old?'
Il French writer gives these three rea-
sons: I'VE do not get enough phys
ical exercise in the open air we are
poisoned by microbes. which tie pha-
gocytes have not succeeded in de-
stroying. and we are depressed by fear
of death" OF the three reasons it
will be noted that he gives the place
OF first Importance to lack of exercise.
There is nothing else which can take
the place OF physical activity as
Drescryer of youth and energy. Grow
young as you grow older by cu,tiTat-
in@ q moderate love of good, healthful,
honest sport is sound advice. Walk
ing, running, jumping, rowing, play
ing golf, tennis or cr0quet, or any other
mild form of exercise in the open air
keeps the muscles supple aud pre-
vents the joints from stjlfenins, fills
the lungs with lifegiying oxygen ana
keeps the blood from becoming slug
eish or the liver torpid. In short, It
is exercise that keeps the body in
tune and up TO concert pitch just as
exercise Keeps the voice or musical
instrument in perfect tone.-Suecess.

Mt zenith is estimated by NJ. Charles
Fairy at one hundred thousand cam
dies.
In recent European experiments,
corpses have been kept for a certain
time in bath of chloride of calcium
heated to 123 degrees, then taken out
and stepped for twenty-four hours in
a cold solution of sulphate of sodium.
The bodies are transformed into per-
feet mummies, to be kept indefinitely.
Lieutenant-Colonel Bruce, who has
been studying the strange sleeping
sickness which affects many of the
Inhabitants of Uganda, ascribes the
spread of the infection to a species of
the famous tsetse fly, whose attacks
are fatal to horses and cattle in Africa
These flies are found to be infected
with the parasite that causes the sleep
ing sickness by entering the blood and
the cerebro-spinal fluid, and the we'll
defined areas of country to which the
flies are confined correspond absolute
y with the distribution of the disease.
Where this species of tsetse fly is not
found sleeping sickness is unknown.
A second poisoning of trees late in
the season, after the usual forming of
buds for the next year, may result
from some injury, such as removal
of the leaves, if the inference of NJ.
e. Apert is correct. In October, 1000,
this observer saw q white lilac In full
bloom, the bush having small green
leaves and beautiful clusters OF white
flowers, while some hundreds of feet
away was another bush of the usual
autumnal dppeotauce. Investigation
showed that worms had eaten off the
leaves of the first bush several months
before. A return of the worms in July,
1903 was followed by q partial re-
production of the phenomenon, and NJ.
Apert believes that second Towering
of a fire-injured trees, reported by NJ.
Jolly as result of the action of heat,
was really due to destruction of the
leaves. 1t is proposed to test the theory
by removing the leaves of apple trees,
Lear trees, etc, in July or August.
1t is an old question Are the 20
odd chemical elements really elemen-
tary, or are they compounded of some
thing still more elementary?" In the
light of the recent discoveries about
radium Prof. +. w. Clarke recurs to
theory, advocated by him many
years ago, that as the planets were
evolved out of the original nebua
which gave birth 10 the solar system,
the chemical elements themselves were
also evolved out of something far less
complex than themselves. The fact
that existing nebulae are very simple
in composition, while stars In various
stages of evolution exhibit more and
more compleXity, until, in s0lidilied
bodies, like the earth, great number
of chemical elements with Il myriad
of compounds are found, is regarded rs
strongly supporting this theory. The
phenomena of radium lead 10 the adj
dltional suggestion that rs i'll the de-
ye!opment of the heavenly bodies we
seem to see the growth of the elements,
so in radio-actiyity we witness Their
decay.

ever, shaking her scornfully of, only
to be obliged to resist the loving on
slaughts of number of other highly
unattractive females. Then the bride
was forthcoming, presenting a charm
ing picture by contrast, with white
wreath upon her head. for wells were
as yet not in use, and after cakes and
sweetmeats had been distributed to
the children, the party made its way to
the church, led by the ubiquitous VIC
linist and clarionet player of the vii
lage. Arriving at that edifice, the mu.
sicians stood aside, and the ceremony
took place under the portal, the bless
ing only being given inside the
church.

Switzerland, and to lesser extent in
the others, the village dances are the

phrase runs, and call upon the parents,
when an engagement is the result, pro-
vided that there are no strong objec.
tions. The young man then gives the
young lady a comparatively valuable
present, which is shown as positive
proof that the pair is engaged. In re-
turn, and as a sort of security, the
girl or her parents makes gift to the
young man, and wedding rings are pur-
chased. Announcement cards are sent
out, if the family has sufficient means.
In Sernfthal the bride left her par
ents' home the night previous to the
wedding and, together with her trous
seau, which had to include bed and
a cupboard, went to the house of her
future husband; where she remained
until the next morning, when the
friends and relatives came to call the
couple to start for the ceremony. No
mention is made that the prospective
groom was ever missing.
At the present time it is quite the

squeaky voice, What do you want?"
When she is told that the husband is
bringing home his bride, and that he is
iiicensed that nothing is in readiness
for the blooming, youthful wife she
appears not to comprehend, but shakes
