HOW TO POSTPONE OLD AGE


That it is possible, by adopting
daily regimen in line with modern
scientific knowledge. to defer the APP
proach of old age is the opinion Of
DIR. J. Madison Taylor, who has pub
lished a series of three articles upon
The Conservation OF Energy in those
of Advancing Years" in the February,
March, and April numbers OF The
Popular Science Monthly. In the last
of these articles the writer formulates
his hygienic prescriptions for those
who have passed the age of three
score years and ten. Says DR.. Tay-
lor:
SIT will be found that the. evidence
of those who have studied this sub
ject most carefully shows that normal
bodily exercises are not to be forbid
den, but rather encouraged. Per con-
ira. il bodily activities are not pur-
sued, there must inevitably follow
much more rapid retrograde changes
in all the tissues. In respect to the
diet it is universally admitted that
after middle life the amount OF food
taken should be less than before that
time. and the changes in diet should
be rather to use less of the structure
forming materials, though not always
to exclude them. Again, there should be
used relatively little--indeed, as little
as possible, OF stimulating articles of
food which make more for accepta-
bility than necessity. In short, the
simple rule should be observed of eat
ing no more than perfectly normal APP
petite Graves, and as little as posi-
BILE of those things taken because they
are agreeable. AS the period OF old
age is reached. by which is meant a.
bout seventy years, the regimen should
be markedly simplifed and always
taken with the greatest elaboration.
A general rule is recognized to obtain
in most cases, that the more nearly
the diet is reduced to bread and milk
and fruits the longer will the person
live and enjoy. good health.
Some persons can get along best
with long intervals between feeding;
others, the majority, do better by
taking small amounts of food at shore
intervals The excavations appear
lacking in activity and must be en-
couraged by rational measures, but
not forced by purgative or strongly
diuretic drugs This is best met by
suitable articles OF diet. bulky and yet
not calculated to produce Preventative
changes. Such qualities are found in
fruits, nuts. cereal compounds, and
salads. Probably the best drink is

OIL PORTRAIT OF DOWAGER
EMPRESS ABOARD SIBERIA
First Likeness Of Famous History-Maker Of
Celestial Empire Is on the Way to
the St. Louis Exposition.

One of the treasures aboard the "a
cific Mail liner Siberia which arrived
yesterday, is an oil painting OF the.
Dowager Empress of China. Tne
painting goes to St. Louis to adorn the
building of the Chinese Government.
1T is a rare curiosity in the art world,
and marks an era of progressiveness
in the Chinese Empire, which must
have jostIed the ancient gods OF the
Celestial Empire. The portrait is 10
be hung with ceremony, and VIII
doubtless command the attention OF
every one visiting the Exposition, for
up to the present time few have any
real conception of the features OF the
woman who has become famous IN
modern history.
The portrait occupies sS5 cubic feet
of space in the siberias hold. A pedes-
tai accompanies the portrait and this
in itself weighs about five tons. The
picture with its enormous and costly
frame is also very heavy. The por-
trait represents the Empress Dowager
in Iife-size representation, and she
is shown attired in her royal robes OF
state. It is said to be a very fine
and close likeness.
The departure of the wonderful
painting from Picking was accompa-
MED by ceremonies. First it is said
that O. special railroad was built from
the Imperial Palace to connect with
the regular railroad terminating at
Shanghai The cost of the road IS
estimated at about 100000. A special
train was used to carry the precious
treasure, and it was guarded by Man
darins OF the highest rank. AT Shang-
hal the portrait YVES put aboard a boat
and conveyed to Woosung. Thomas
Weir, Marine superintendent of the
Chinese Merchants Steam Navigation
Co., had charge of its transportation.
when taken aboard the Siberia it was
with due ceremony.
The portrait rests on the top Of cargo
iust beneath a hatch. 1t is covered
with a flag of the Imperial design.
When 1t was sent aboard, the special
nssiorers deputized by the EN-
press to accompany it to San Fran
co. boarded the steamship. His Ex-
cellency. Shen Nang Hoo, former gov
ernor of the Tung Chow district of
China, is the special ambassador, and
he is accompanied by his interpreter,
Chun Chin Tung. The former is many
times a millionaire. The portrait is
insured for $4,000 gold.

Because It Is the Experience

Al stranger lost in q large city would
place far more dependence on the di-

than the guidance of another stranger
like himself. This is a natural conse-

ings SO it is with endorsement; we
doubt the sayings of people living at
distant point because we can't inyesti-
gate, but public expression of local
citizens can be depended upon, for It's
an easy matter TO prove it. Evidence
like the following is beyond dispute:-

skin of old age tends to become harsh,
rigid and dry, and after this effleur-

Old people are sensitive to cold be-

many to stay indoors and keep them

overcome gradually, but firmly, and
the patient should be in the open air

being sufficient, but never too n1ueh.

common to the aged, can be delayed al
most Indefinitely by the employment of
regulated movements of the neck and

PROVIDE HOME FOR

The money raised at the fuau and

be used in providing homes for the
Hawaiians, compelled by the govern
nent to leave Kalihi Camp. Altogether
$3.50 was raised of which $3.50 went.

the patrons of the ball claim that the
1uau was a novel sort of feast with
nothing to eat on the table, but the
Princess Theresa who was at the head
of the benefit denies this and says that
the luaa was in progress from noon
until 1880 o'clock, at which time all
the edibles had been eaten. She se4ys
that it was her plan to get everything
needed for the luau and ball as cheap
w as possible and SO expended no UNI
necessary money. This may account
for what some people believed was a
shortage in food
The Princess Theresa states that the
proceeds of the luau and ball amount
ed TO $3.50, part of which went for ex-
penses, leaving about S1100 for the
benefit of the people for whose aid
the function was given. 1t is the In
tention, according to Mrs. Wilcox to
use the money in purchasing the build
ing occupied by the natives in Kalihi
camp and to remove it to some other
site. The money was raised not only
in the sale of tickets. but was received
in contributions OF from five to nfty
dollars. The officers OF the club. Mrs.
wilcox says, are Princess Theresa

zens. vice-President, and Miss Motley,

painting the portrait of the Dowager
Empress for the Exposition has been
gained by an American artist, Miss
Kate Augusta Carl, who was born and
reared in the South. Miss Carts mat
ernaI grandfather was a, surgeon in the
Royal Navy. but resigned and emigrat-
ed TO Canada. Her mother was a
cousin of Lady Hart, and her father
a nephew of Baron Won Humboldt.
Both parents adopted the United
states as home in their early youth.
Miss Carl spent her childhood in Mems
phis, Tenn, and when still a girl went
to Paris to study. Her first exhibition
in the salon was a portrait of her
mother. She had fine collection at
the Chicago exposition, and her career
has been eminently successful from
the beginning. A few months ago she
went to China to visit her brother,
Mr.. Francis A. Carl. of the imperial
Chinese customs, who is to be one OF
Chsnass commissioners to the st. Louis
exposition. Last August she became
the guest of the Dowager Empress in
the palace at Picking, and was present
at all the state functions, witnessing
the ceremonies incident to the celebra-
ton of the Emperor's birthday, and
being the only foreigner who was ever
thus honored. Miss Carl is a blonde
of the fairest type, tall and slender and
possesses a winning personality.
The portrait is to become the prop
erty of the United States Government
after the exposition closes. 1t being

THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW.

A few individuals some of them
very inconsistency are keeping them
selves busy denouncing the eight-hour
law which was enacted at the last
session of the legislature. A very
small number Of persons can some
times make great deal Of noise, and
there is no sign visable to indicate
any marked change Of sentiment on
this subject since the people voted
for it unanimously less than two
yelrs ago. A few employers Of labor
have opposed the law, manifestly be-
cause they feel that they can get
more work out of man in ten hours
than in eight. On the other hand the
members of the labor unions are more
determined than ever, and they are
stronger than they ever were before
in the history of this state.
Labor unions sometimes go too far,
and make demands that are unreason-
able. just as capital sometimes does
oppressive and indefensible things
But the demand for an eight-hour
day in employments of peculiar haz-
ard is not unreasonable. Legislation
along that line has been upheld in very
many states and by the Supreme Court
of the United Statesmen a body of
demagogues by any means.
The eight-hour law SO frequently dis
cussed in this State applies not only
to those engaged in mines and reduct-
ion works. Still it is strongly upheld
by the labor unions generally through
out the state. A proposition to have
it appealed would be voted down by
a majority of twenty to one in any la
Dor organization in Nevada. Working
men generally, whether members of
the unions or not are in favor of the
law. All parties of this State are solid
ly committed to the maintenance IF
it and any party which Weakens ON
the proposition this fall may as we'll
hang up it's political clothing and go
out of business.
There are between three and four
thousand labor union men in this
State and as many non-union men in
full sympathy with the just demands
of the unions. They constitute large
majority of the States electorate and
upon this subject they are super-sen-
sative. The law has worked no o.
preciable injury, it harms no Other
class of labor, and the miners and
millmen want it. Hense it behoves
party leaders to see to it that there
is no weakening of the respective par-
ties on this point.-Journal.

he went to the police station on

he pressed No. 80, the box at the COR

Before he had realized his mistake
the alarm was rung in and the whole
