by fire last Friday evening, when his

house and their contents except the

from falling down the hay chute, the
fodder having given way, under him.
The loss was about So, 500, with in
surance in the Shiawassee Mutual for

grain being destroyed, compels Mr..

Rev. Lord was born in Connecticut
and lived there until after his gradua

being at the time of his death and for
several years prior thereto the oldest

NEW HOSPITAL
FOR RAILROAD
DIR. Jameson Goes to st. Louis to
Examine Into Plans for
New Building.

One of the best pieces of news the
Herald has been enabled to give its
readers in number of days is that the
/. & @. N. has fully determined to build
in this city a new hospital, modern,
convenient, and suited to the demands
OF the road.
DR.. w. g.. Jameson, chief surgeon
for the road, left this morning to ex-
anime into plans and specifications,
and will consult architects in st. Louis
who make specially of hospital build
ings. The Frisco railroad has just
completed hospital building in st.
Louis, and it is most likely the new
hospital here will be to some extent
copied from that structure.
The new hospital will be built on the
site of the present building, on Mag
noiia street. This is an improvement
that has been long needed, and the
Herald has harped on this matter for
the past few years.
The old ambulance has been rele-
gated, and a new, neat and modern
ambulance has been put into service.
This is in itself a decided improve
ment. With a new modern building
the road will be doing the right thing
by its employees in a very handsome
way.

Gambling at bridge by women goes
on extensively in both private houses
and public hotels. Dinners are hur-
rled through in order that the party
may the sooner engage in gambling,
and some Of the women are noted as
the sharpest and most grasping OF
gamblers. Gambling made fashion
able among women is a rather serious
matter. 1t is bad enough among men,
but when the mania extends to women,
who are held tighter in its grasp, the
moralist has special reason to fear the
consequences. Probably there has
never been a time when the vogue of
gambling ariong women OF fashion
able society was wider than 1t is now,
and it is not unreasonable to suppose
that it will increase. Luxury pals and
new varieties of stimulation are sought.
The devil finds mischief still for idle
hands to do.

How to live long and enjoy life is a
problem Of perennial interest. Many
Of the alleged solutions are delusive
because they ignore one or the other
half of the problem. They either aim
at longevity at the expense of joy or
secure joy at the cost Of longevity.
Plenty of exercise is generally advised,
but there are hardened sinners who
Will take any risk rather than submit
TO the accessible forms of exercise. A
severe and ascetic regimen is another
favorite suggestion which to multi
tudes seems "a remedy worse than the
disease" But Drs. Duke and Hol-
lander, nerve specialists of London,
have just advanced-or emphasized
a theory which should command an
easy and phenomenal success. Do you
wish to preserve youth and at the
same time assure yourself the maxi
mum Of happiness and the minimum
of privation and routine? If so, take
an immense amount of mental exer-
else. The authorities named say that
the average agricultural laborer in
England is threatened with sOftening
of the brain or mental paralysis at the
comparatively early age Of Go or 20,
simply because he does not use his
mind. Doing little thinking, he gives
the blood no chance to circulate
through the brain, and mental decay
ho Ind
and statesmen who constantly employ
their intellectual faculties live to
great age and do not lose their keen
interest in the activities of existence to
the very end. We naturally think of
men like Humboldt, Gladstone, Spen-
Ger and Of many aged scientists and
public men still living and in harness,
and find abundant confirmation Of the
theory in question. And the best fea-
ture of the theory is that the means
prescribed are not only within the
reach of all, not excepting the worst
paid of agricultural laborers, but, in
addition, are so agreeable and delight
eul that they may be resorted to for
this day and generation need not in
volve the least drudgery to the adult
With excellent newspapers, full Of dis
cussions of intricate problems Of po-
litical, economic, religious and social
life, with periodicals galore, with
cheap editions Of immortal masters
like Milton, Shakespeare, and scores of
other poets, novelists, essayists,
dramatists and philosophers, and with
free and travelling libraries, need any
man forego the stimulation, exhilara-
ton and pleasure of mental activity /?
Experts who tell us not to worry are
indulging in counsel Of perfection, but
when they tell us to read great books,
think Of lofty and noble things and
exercise our mental faculties they
point to the most effectual method of
making our troubles seem small and
ephemeral and reducing worry to the
minimum.

Chinese marriage is all ceremony
no talk, no levity and much CRYING.
Inc solemnity Of funeral prevails.
AFTER the exchange of presents the
bride is dressed with much care in a
red gown, brocade or silk, If she can

deep black and she wears a heavy red
veil attached to scarlet headdress
from which imitation pearls are Dem
dant over the forehead. A feast ia
spread upon a table, to which the
blushing bride is led by five of her
best female friends. They are seated
at the table, but no one eats. The Mt.

the mother leads off In cry. tho
maids follow and the bride echoes in
the chorus. Then all the bridesmaids
leave the table, and the disconsolate
mother takes a seat beside the chair

bridegroom now enters, with four of
his best men. The men pick up the
throne on which the bride sits and
preceded by the bridegroom. form IN
procession and walk around the room
or into an adjoining parlor, signifyins
that he Is carrying her away to His
own home. The guests then throw
rice at the happy couple-a custom we
have borrowed from the heather.

Interestingly shown by some of the
missionary work which Southern rail-
roads are doing in bringing settlers
into territory which needs them. The

he had on hand thirty-fve thousand

the search for home acre" to loca-
