The Secret Of Lona Life.

"In my opinion" says DR.. Philip
O'Hanlon, who has. performed
hundreds Of autopsies for the coun-
ty Of New York, mo man should
die before he is 80. Indeed, |
think the span Of lie might rea-
sonably be prolonged to I2o to I4o
Years"
DR.. O'Hanlon has reached in
these significant sentences the view
held by Metchnikoff and other in
vestigators, and he has reached it by
the same road of analysis and ex-
pertinent. He has found men who
had been rejected by insurance com
panies because they showed symp-
toms of specific disease to be entire
ly free from such diseases. On the
other hand, in the case Of Andrew
H. Green he found a man whose
arteries were like glass" and prob
ably had been SO for years. Yet at
50 Mr.. Green bade fair to live for
years, and might have done so but
for an assassin's bullet.
Nervous waste" is DIR. O'Han-
Ions way Of accounting for those
frequent cases where, in spite Of the
improvement in public sanitation
and in the art Of medicine, young
and middle aged men die without
apparently adequate cause in spe-
cihc disease. Pool tickets in the
suicides pocket, the irritable man
ner of men jostled in public convey
ances, unnecessary exertion put
forth in the most ordinary acts, are
all manifestations OF this waste.
II cannot be said that the labora-
tories have come near the secret
Of indefinitely prolonging life. To
talk of phagocites in the blood
sounds learned, but it only pushes
the problem Of causation one step
further back. Nor has anyone yet
bettered the advice Of Cornaro, who,
born in I467, turned over a new
leaf after forty years Of riotous
living and made the slender remain
der OF his strength hold out for fifty
eight years longer BY extreme abb
stemiousness and by living in the
pure air Of the country, and who
when he was enjoying the nineties
wrote: 81 never knew the world
was beautiful until | reached OLD
age"

Mrs. Lewis, sir, is not at

ply,
But don't know when she
will be back urged the maid.

replied Disraeli, but | am going
to wait till she comes back, so

He did wait, he got his tea and
he married the widow.

For many years past American
silver and paper money has been
circulating to a large extent in
Canada, especially the silver.
Hundreds Of thousands OF Uni
ted States greenbacks, dimes,
quarters and half dollars are in
circulation in Canada today. and
their use is increasing rather than
abating. Canadians prefer their
national currency, yet they have
no particular aversion to the
American article.
Last summer thousands OF Ca
madam Business men and women
visited the St. Louis fair To
most Of them it never occurred
that they should change their
money. They used 50 much
American currency at home that
they naturally supposed their
own good Canadian bills would
be welcome under the stars and
stripes. But they were not, and
the refusal Of the people at St.
Louis and other cities to ccept
the Dominion cash, together with
the greed Of the money changers,
caused inconvenience and loss.
These people coming back to
Canada brought with them a de-
termination to soak" the intrud-
ing currency whenever and wher-
ever they found it. The feeling
gained strength from the business
and banking as we'll as an emo
tional standpoint. AS a result
strong efforts have been made
to procure legislation to exclude
the undesirable money, 50 that
the field may be left clear to the
Canadian banks and government.

Thirty-two states have been ad-
mitted into the Union since the or
ganization of our government, and
only six Of them had population
larger than the population Of either
New Mexico or Arizona. Kentucky,
1907; Tennessee, 10000; Ohio,
900; Louisiana, $500; Indiana,
24,52o; Mississippi, 75,444; Illinois,
53,2II; Alabama, I27,ooI; Maine,
2o8,375; Missouri, Go, $50; Arkan-
sas. s2,24o; Michigan, 10000;
Florida, 72,oco Iowa, $4,000;
Wisconsin, 100000; California, o.
5o7; Minnesota, I72,o53; Texas,
10000. Mark you, the gre~ state
of Texas, with more than 200, 900
square miles of land, came into the
Union with less population than
now reside in either New Mexico
or Arizona. Oregon came into the
Union with $4,000; Kansas, 1917
200; West Virginia, 100000. Ne
braska, I22, ,903; Nevada, 42,4oI;
Colorado, I22,993; North Dakota,
$4,000; South Dakota, 228,8o8;
Montana, I32,I59; Was. -ngton,
$4,000; Wyoming, 7o3, and
Utah, 276,746. 1t will thus be seen
that ther have heretofore been adj
mitted into the Union twenty-sfx
states with less population than
either Of the territories now seeking
statehood possesses. A critical ex-
animation of our history will clear
ly show that our policy has always
been to consult the wishes and inter-
ests of the population seeking state
hood, and to make small states when
desired, easily and economically
governed, above all keeping in view
the convenience of the people de-
string statehood.

Bismarck and Rechberg, the
Austrian premier, decided to fight
a duel upon a certain morrow.
"Why not now?' said Bismarck.
1--WE have our pistols here" And
they agreed to a duel there and
then. But first Bismarck had to
write dispatch to his govern
ment giving the cause Of the duel.
This he asked Rechberg TO for
ward in case he (Bismarck) fed.
Rechberg read the report and his
passion cooled. What you say
is quite correct" he remarked,
but is it really worth fighting a
duel for such a reason ?" That is
exactly my opinion said Bis
marck, and the matter ended on
the spot. That was Bismarck's
triumph, but Virchow scored
when the iron chancellor chal-
lenged him. Here are two sau-
sages." said Virchow, zone filled
with trichinae, the other perfectly
wholesome. But they cannot be
told apart. Let his exceilency do
me the honor to eat one and | viii
eat the other" The duel was not
fought.

Queen and Sewing Girl.

Once, when driving, Queen
Amelie OF Portugal saw large
crowd surrounding someone who
had fallen down. The footman
was sent to ascertain what was
the cause of the accident, and, re-
turning, reported that it was a
young girl who had tainted from
weakness. The queen LETT her
carriage, according to the Indian
apolis News. and assisted the girl
into the privacy OF nearby shop,
and then personally attended to
her professionally. The queen
then made inquiries about the
girl. She was a milliner, who,
having failed to get work at her
trade, had undertaken other en-
ployment for the support OF an
invalid mother, but with such
poor success that she was nearly
starved. The queen is now her
patroness, and she is at the head
of one OF Lisbon's leading bonnet
shops.

One Of the ways for beautifying
the country in the grand duchy Of
Baden without any ultimate expense
to the taxpayer is the planting Of
fruit trees along the government
highways. These are cherry, apple,
pear and in some places walnut
trees. The trees are planted thirty
two feet apart along each side Of
the road, and when the fruit is ready
for market it is sold at public auc-
ton on the trees, the purchaser be-
ing obliged to harvest it at his own
expense. The amount realized from
the sale Of the fruit is applied to-
ward maintenance of the system
the propagation of young trees,
their planting and cultivation, etc.

may be divided into two classes

who profess to tell others how to

written by the men who are a
conspicuous success at getting on
themselves. The little handbooksi
"eyery man his own lawyer" or

The discovery OF a means of
metamorphosing radishes into
potatoes has been made in 50
solemn a place as the Academy
Of Sciences, Paris says the
American Inventor. M. Molliard
takes a very young radish, Pas
teurizes' it in a certain way, and
It grows up into a fine potato.
More scientifically, the young
radish is cultivated in a glass re-
tort, after a process invented by
Pasteur, in a concentrated solu-
ton Of glucose. Starch then de-
velops plentifully in the cells OF
the radish, which swells out. loses
its pepperiness, and acquires prac-

furtively back, sees the glaring
eyes of his archfoe rapidly ap-

section of tube the rat is either
overtaken or falls into the man

Questioned to run the next block.
At the end Of each section the
string is removed from the fer

is then attached to the other end
of the string, is hauled through

The PASSING Italics.

The great days Of italics we're
in the '3os OF last century, when
the London Figaro began its crit
icisms OF politics, the drama, and
society. Then every other word
was italicised, and the effect to-
day is as though every other
word were a shrek. Until the
'8os women retained the habit Of
undermining all but the preposi-
tions and conjunctions in their
letters, and there are still many
women journalists who cannot
get along without the stimulus Of
italics. But in reality a writer
needs italics about as often as he
needs Turkish bath.
