Rules Laid Down by IL Member of tho
Royal College of Physicians.
The question Of the possible eXten-
sion Of human life has recently had re-
ncwCd consideration by British sci
enlist, says Iiaipcr's Weekly. III lee
ture delivered before the Royal College
of Physicians in London. Sir Hermann
Weber, NJ. d., +. IL. G. r., propounded
certain conclusions which he had ar
rived at as to the best means for pro-
longing life. The main points in his
advice were comprised in these pre-
scriptions:
Moderation in eating, drinking and
physical indulgence.
Pure air out of the house and within.
The keeping Of every organ of the
body as far as possible in constant
working order.
Regular exercise every day in all
weathers, supplemented in many cases
by breathing movements and by walk
ing and climbing tours.
Going to bed early and rising early
and restricting the time of sleep to
six or seven hours.
Daily baths or ablutions according to
individual conditions, cold OF warm or
warm followed by cold.
Regular work and mental occupation.
Cultivation of placidity, cheerfulness
and hopcfulncss OF mind.
Employment OF the great power of
the mind in controlling passions and
nervous fear.
Strengthening the will i'm carrying
out whatever is useful and i'm checking
the craving for stimulants, anodynes
and other injurious agencies.

Humor ono PHILOSOPHY
BY DUNCAN RI. SMITH
Copyright, 1901, by Duncan NJ. Smith.
SUPPOSE HE HAS.

The holdup man with shaded eyes,
The bold and daring crook
Who takes the watch you 1Ca rly prize
And exc your lu"kytbocf
May have a baby ana Il wife
To spur him To his toll
And nerve his hand 10 take Your lie
That they may spend the spoil.
Perhaps a tender. trusting maid
Awaits the vulgar tough
By whom you are at night waylaid
And handled rather rough.
And of your substance he may buy
And to the lady bring
A diamond that just strikes her eye
Set in dainty ring.
1t may be true. but would say
The bet you would not lose
To guess the fellow goes away
And spends your roll for booze,
And brags about it on the sly,
And sits around and smokes.
And then when he is full OF rye
Goes home and beats his folks.
Suppose he has dozen kids,
A wife to share his lot
That doesn't help THINGS when he bids
You shell out or get shot:
How kind a husbapd and man >.
He Is you do not ken.
You know If you his life could plan
He'd spend 1t in the pen.
