How to Live Long,
From the Cleveland Leader

From the Cleveland Leader.
Goodwin Smith, the famous historian, ed
ucator. journalist and essayist, who is the
most distinguished figure in the literary life
of Canada. has brought out a good deal of
comment on the problem of old age, with
mental and physical soundness. by his own
opinion of the influences which have helped
him celebrate his eightieth birthday in good
health and able to do brilliant and valuable
work in his chosen fields of labor.
Prof Smith thinks that he owes much
to his freedom from hard tasks, in school or
otherwise when a little boy. He was
sickly child, and his chance of even aver
age length of days seemed poor. But he
was allowed much freedom in boyhood to
roam the fields and play. instead of stick
ing closely to books or taxing his mind Sc
verely. 1t is hardly necessary to say that
Goodwin Smith was still young lad. how
ever. when he began to work very zealously
in school. and at Elton and In the univer-
sity he was a brilliant student. Another
point he makes much OF Is his lifelong
habit of working in the early morning,
rather than late at night. and getting sleep
in the hours OF darkness. natures time for
rest. He also testiies to his constant caro-
as to outdoor exercise and his moderation
in eating and drinking.

CROWD OUT FEAR THOUGHTS.
One of the Most Important Things in
Character Building.

rom success.
The principle of crowding out fear
thoughts by buoyant, hopeful, confident
thoughts can be applied to all the many
kinds of fear that daily and hourly beset
u.s. At first it will be hard to change the
current of though: and to cease to dwell
on somber and depressing things. An aid
in the process is often advisable A sudden
change OF work to something requiring con-
centration of mind will often act as
switch. Recalling some humorous or pleas
ant incident will sometimes drive dull care
away an old song has it,
In the last analysis, all fear resolves it
self into fear of death. and writer's on the
means of getting rid of fear dwell espe-
cfally on this basic form. Death WILL per-
haps, always be a mystery, but, whatever
view of 1t be taken, a logical analysis will
remove the terror of it, especially of that
form which makes lifeless human flesh
repulsiye and terrible object. We think
the feeling that Hindoos have about the
flesh of animals very queer, since to us
this is most appetizing food. Our own fear
OF human corpse is just as foolish as the
Hindoo fear, and. if We would rid our
selves of fear, we must teach ourselves so.
Familiarity with the thing feared is al
ways advisable and frequently is quite suf-
ficient. We know this to be true with
horses and have only to apply the mat
ter to our own foolish fears. Horace Fetch
er advises even course in a hospital dis
secting room if nothing else will disspate
the unreasoning fear of a dead body.
Whatever may lie beyond the tomb"
says w. e. H. Lecky. the tomb itself is
nothing to The narrow prison house.
the gloomy pomp and the hideousness of
decay are known to the living. and the liv-
Ing alone. By too common illusion of
the imagination. men picture themselves
as consciously dead-going through the pro-
cess of corruption and aware of it; i'm
prisoned. with knowledge of the fact. in
the most hideous of dungeons. Endeavor
earnestly to erase this illusion from your
mind for it lies at the root of the fear of
death, and it is one of the worst sides of
medieval and much modern art that it
tends to strengthen it, Nothing, if we truly
realize it, is less real than the grave. We
should be no more concerned with the after
fate of our discarded bodies than with that
of the hair which the barber has cut OFF.
The sooner they are resolved into their
primitive elements the better. The magma
ton should never be suffered to dwell upon
their decay"
Whatever the means. the task of conquer
ing fear is the most important in character
building, and it will repay effort. Not until
this is done effectively, finally done-can
the human soul take it's proper place and
progress to higher and yet higher planes of
power.

PUZZLE FOR PSYCHOLOGISTS.
A Fossil Box Found in Clay Under
Beds of Coal.

From the Kansas City Star.
In a shaft being sunk by the Weir juno
ton Coal Company a find was made today
which will attract students of archaeology.
rude box made of bark, about six by four
inches, was solidly imbedded in fire clay
about fifty feet underground, and was fos-
SLICED, but the bark can be seen plainly
on the inside. Three arrowheads of flint
were found in the box, and two of them
are unfinished. The box and contents were
below two beds of coal The coal had not
been disturbed. Coal is believed by scien-
lists to be hardened beds of peat and vege-
table matter. At the time coal was formed
the dampness and heat of the earth pro-
duced prodigious masses of underground.
This had it's day and decayed and dropped
to the wet earth. Layer after layer accumu-
lated, and in many cases mixed with the
bark and leaves of oak trees, which con-
tain tannin. This preserved the vegetable
matter and changed it to kind of coarse
peat. 1t is supposed that by volcanic dis
turbances, landsldes, or the accumulation
OF surface soil. these deposits were COW
cred, and the action of the heat of the
earth combined with pre- ssure and age car
BOMBED the mass into coal. The age of
coal is matter of dispute among scien-
lists. Some say that the harder varieties
have been in the process of formation mil
lions of years
The box found in the coal bed might
have been placed there while the coal was
IN the soft stage or even while 1t was
peat Another possibility is that a vol
canfc disturbance threw the coal bed to-
ward the surface and in some way inclosed
the box in the clay. 1t is believed that
there has been no great disturbance of the
Kansas coal fields for thousands of years
In many mines in these fields the layer of
fire clay is found to be Immediately under
the coal. The clay is dug from under the
coal with picks and the coal drops down
from above. Anthropologtsts are gradual
ly coming to believe that man is of more
remote origin than was formerly believed
Human bones have been found with those
of fossil species of the extinct elephant
rhinoceros and bear. 1t is now established
that man existed in the drift period, when
the great glaciers from the north overran
what is now the United States. One piece
OF evidence is reindeer horn made with
rude picture scratched on 1t of mammoth
This carries the age of man back tens of
thousands of years. but not as far as the
period of coal formation, which was thous-
ands of years before the drift period

PROTECTIVE INSURANCE.
How Life Policies Would Accrue to the
Benefit of Widows and Orphans.
rom the Insurance Spectator.

From the Insurance Spectator.
One of the surrogates In New York city is
quoted as recently saying that so per cent
of the money left to widows and orphans in
this country during his term of Office was
lost or dissipated by Encouragement. This
Is severe arraignment of administrators
and executors of the estates of deceased
persons: but while possibly the estimated
loss is excessive. the main fact of the
shrinkage of estates after the death of the
persons who had acquired them is one with
which the public Is familiar. Every week
there are to be found advertisements in the
daily papers of sales by auction of property,
real estate, stocks, bonds and other securi-
ties by order of the executors of estates
The law requires that all estates of de-
ceased persons shall be settled with reason
able dispatch, but often the benefieiaries
under a will more exacting than the
law. and demand speedy settlement of the
estate that they may receive their share.
Often executors are too deeply engrossed in
their own affairs to pay attention to the
estate they are presumed to admins ter, and
so turn the matter over to some lawyer who
will have special regard for the fees he can
squeeze out of it, That estates are dissi-
pated by due process of law, to the great
injury of widows and orphans, is a matter
of public notoriety. resulting generally
from forced sales of property for which
there Is no competitive demand.
If such estates were protected by policies
of life insurance, the face value of which
would be paid promptly in cash to the ex-
ecutor how greatly would their work be
simplified. If instead of the "cat and dog
securities business man Is apt to accumu-
late and count as valid assets he had Sc
cured life policy. payable to the estate, 1t
would bring in cash at once, and an asset
of that character is not likely to cause
much trouble in the distribution of it. But
for the protection of the widows and or
phans, life insurance policies should be
made payable directly to them and not to
the estate of the insured.
Creditors Of the deceased husband and
father have no claim upon the proceeds OF
such policy, but the cash Is paid into the
hands of the widow or other named bene-
f1ciary, and there Is no waiting the tOrtuous
processes OF the law to settle q tangled
estate before they can realize the amount
designed by the deceased for their benefit.
The very best investment a man can make
to secure the comfort and happiness OF
those he loves u found In policy Of life
insurance.
