The Science of Living.

DR. George F Butler recently de-
Gvered an address on this subject, IN
der the auspices of the Chicago Medi-
cal Society, toan audience of 600peo-
pie in the public library building.
The address was replete with epigram-
matte sentences and may be summed
up in this wise
1t has been said that it is better to
be born lucky than rich, but it is in
fact better to be born tough than Ell
Their lucky or rich. After forty eat
less and eliminate more. Drink
more pure wafer and keep the peris-
taltic wave of prosperity constantly
moving down the alimentary canal.
Many people suffer from too much
business and not enough health.
When such is the case they had bet
ter cut out business and society for a
time and come down to mush and
milk and first principles. Don't be
foolish. Eat less and play more. H.
dulge in less fret and tune aud more
fruit and fun. There are people too
lndolent to be healthy-literally too
lazy too live. Work your brains and
keep in touch with people. Do some
thing Tor others and forget yourselves.
There is nothing so inane and detri-
mental TO mind and health as the con-
versation OF people on their aches and
pains and troubles. The froth Of
whipped eggs is tonic compared to
it. All our appetites are conditional.
Enjoyment depends upon the scarcity.
A worker in any field whose age is
near either the shady or sunny side OF
fifty should consider himself in his
prime, good for another half century
of temperate, judicious work. Let
grandma wear bright ribbons and
gaudy gowns if the colors become her,
and let grandpa be as dudiSh as he
pleases, with fashy neckties and cheer
full garb. Both Will be younger for
it, and, besides, it lin harmony with
nature. Gray hair is honorable; that
which is dyed is an abomination be-
fore the Lord. Cultivate thankful
ness and cheerfulness. An ounce OF
good cheer is worth pound Of mel
ancholy."

Smoking Tells Character.

A Mexican contemporary gives the
following rules for Judging character
by the manner in which cigarettes are
smoked
He who smokes his cigarette down
TO the bitter end is either miser or
an egotist. Out of each ten nine are
misers.
He who smokes fast without ever
taking the cigarette from his mouth
is bot-tempered, jealous, of strong
character and quarrelsome.
Those who knock off the ashes at
short intervals have something on
their mind or are worrying over their
bad luck.
Those who play with their cigar
cites until they burn their lips or fin
gers are either poets or newspaper
men. Out OF every ten eight are news
paper men and two are poets.
Those who carry their cigarettes be-
tween the index and middle finger,
are frst.class liars and the truth is
not in them.
Those who puff out the smoke in
big clouds enjoy good health.
Those who blow it out in thin, little
streams are invalids or lazy.
Those who take great pains to pre-
vent the ashes dropping from the Gig
arctic are foolish and weak-minded.
Those who smoke in front Of the la
dies have never read word on good
manners.
The ladies who smoke believe in ex-
ercising the rights of men. And
those who do not smoke at all have
the best sense and health of all.

For a Choking Cow.

A neighbor once found very valua-
bic Jersey COW in great danger Of
choking to death from having a small
potato lodged in the throat. He tried
in every way he could to relieve her
but had about concluded that she was
past help when stranger came long
and at once took in the situation.
Friend. get me pint Of warm wa
ter and I'll cure your COW In jity. y
The water was procured and poured
in her ears. She Immediately began
to struggle and shake her head so vio-
lently that the potato was swallowed
and five minutes later was feeding
at the stack aa well as ever.

= Wastes of a Year.

Men killed in the wars of the world
in 1904 make up waste of 100000
lives.
Russia's contribution in money
alone to the war waste of the year
was $364,OOO,OOO.
Defalcations, entertainments, forger-
les and bank wreckings in this coun'
try in 1904 led to the waste of $4,-
742, 5O7.
The amount of human activity in
the aggregate that goes for nothing
and worse than nothing is astounding
Waste by fire in the United States
and Canada amounted to $2l5, OOO,'
900. We lead the world in the pro
duction of great ash-heaps where
homes and business blocks have pre-
viously stood.
Waste of life by violent causes other
than war-such as the Slocum horror
various railroad accidents, explosions
etc.-approximated 10000. There
were more than 1900 homicides il
the United States and 81 lynchlngs.

Some crank got off the following,
but there is so much truth in 1t and
so much to cause parents to stop and
consider, that we reproduce it, hoping
some parent may take due notice and
govern himself accordingly. Here it
is: Twenty years hence the boys OF
today will be men. They will be the
doctors and drunkards, lawyers and
liars, senators and sneak thieves, edl-
tors and idiots, ministers and murder
ers, republicans and democrats and so
on down the line. 1t is impossible to
tell for certainty in just what class
yours will be, but it is possible for
your boy to be put under such infu-
ence as will steer him in the right d.
rection. Follow the boys for twelve
years-some of them will be in Jail.
This brings to my mind the sweet
song, Where is my boy tonight?'
You had better look him up if you
don't know. He may be one Of the
few who may go astray and who may,
twenty years hence, serve a term in
prison, or it may be suffer the death
penalty on the gallows. Where was
your boy last night when you re-
tired2"

Sir Henry Irving occasionally per-
mits himself a moment of sardonic
humor. 1t was when he was speak
ing TO an interviewer Of the criticisms
of Dante that he read a letter from
an ambitious electrician who wanted
to supervise and revise his lighting
arrangements.
"My dear Sir Henry" wrote this
person, that scene in the internal re-
gions simply looked like HI"
"What should it look like2" asked
Sir Henry, with sly twinkle.
