TO y GOOD LIFE.

In his new book on the mainte-
nance of health, once man en-
joys that happy condition, DR..
A. T. Schofield complies the
maXims of a small army of great
men who, by the way achieved
wonders after they had passed
DR.. Osler's age dead line of
forty. Among the rules quoted
none are more happily put nor
more practical for everyday use
than the following, credited to
Abraham Lincoln:
Do not worry; eat three square
meals a day; say your prayers;
think of your wife; be courteous
to your creditors; keep your di-
gestion good; steer clear of bill
iousness; exercise; go slow and
easy. Maybe there are other
things that your especial case
requires to make you happy; but,
my friend, these, | reckon, will
give you a good life.
Other maxims gathered by DIR.
Schofield lay stress upon par

drinking, working and all that,

A dispatch from Washington
says:
United States Consul Henry
w. Diederich, whose post is at
Bremen, Germany, has sent to
the State Department an ex-
haustive report upon the condi-
ton of the emigrants passing
through that port on their way
to the United States. The Rus
slams now flocking across the At

from the lowest and most de-
graded of the Cars unhappy

"Since I entered upon my
present duties," he says, Il

through Bremen, but official cam
dor compels me to say that some
of these Russian refugees be-

ever seen. AS they are led
through the streets of this city
to the dock of the Argo Steam
ship Line, to be transported to
England, it is common remark
hearn on every hand, How can
England and America receive
such people?' Yet the Bremen
population is hardened to such
sights, the main streets of the
| city being daily thronged by
emigrants of all nationalities on
their way to other countries.
Should the war continue,
this rush of the fugitive Russians
to our country will also continue,

many of them are very undesira-

In Defense of OgdeniSm.

The triumph of Ogdenfsm'
at Columbia, S. c., in the last
week of April was in such inverse
proportion to the expectations of
individuals and groups most in
terested in it's success that the
State of that city, its chief re-
naming apologist in the South,
and mainly responsible for it's
strictly refined and family per-
formance at Columbia, has been
occupying much valuable space
in it's columns ever since, almost
daily with explanation and more
or less befogging assertions bear
ing upon the matter. Of course,
no charitably- disposed person
can object to the States attempt
ing to vindicate it's mistakes, for,
really it's clinging to the subject
leads it now and then unwitting-
ly to let in some light. For eX-
ample, referring to its issue of
