felt for the driver. who looked rue.

which strewed the ground. An elder

CARE OF THE BODY !
How to Acquire and Retain the Priceless Posses
sion of Good Health
Occupation for the AGED.

Quain. in his Medical Dictionary. ar
btrarily defines advanced life as the
period between sixty-two and eighty
two. and the time of old age beyond
that period. But the infrmities OF
age are measured not so much by
length of days as by the integrity of
the bodily functions, and the sound
ness of the organic structures.
The question. How much work is
normal and rational for each? must
be answered according TO the past life
and present condition of each indi-
vidual old man or woman. For most
old people, however. there is no en-
rloyment better than work in a gar.
den in which they have some CONNER.
cial interest Money, honestly earned
and wisely spent, promotes health.
The hOeing. wedding. trimming, gath
ering and marketing of the fruits and
vegetables or flowers; the open air
life, exercise in the sunshine among
growing things: the healthy stimulus
of planning the work. studying and
talking to others of the best methods
of gardening-what is most profitable
to plant in that region, how the land
should be fortified, and where and
when to sell the products-all this
keeps the mind active.
Poultry raising and bee culture are
also employments well adapted for
those advanced in life who need TO
make work remunerative.
The main points for the aged to
consider are: To avoid disease and
premature failure of strength, not by
increase of food and stimulants, as is
often advised, but by cutting down
ard simplifying the diet in proportion
to the decreased wear and tear of It's
sue, so that the intake will not exceed
the output; TO still maintain an inter
est in current thought and activities,
and to select some occupation suited
to their physical strength and their
previous training and skill.
The secret of a healthy, useful, &C
tive old age is to know how to wear
out life's waning energies normally,
not to exhaust them prematurely by
overwork, or, worse STILL waste them
by the rusting of needless inactivity
There would seem to be little need
in old age OF restitution and depend
ence on the county, were all the work
ing classes to plan for a home in the
country and few acres of land, by
saving money uselessly spent for such

omy in the expenditure of money, and
rational investment in home, the
old working man and woman would
find themselves with fund of health
and strength equal to their day, and
when no longer able to compete with
a younger generation, they would
still have useful, remunerative occu.
patton on their own premises.

When Love. with unconfined wings,
Hovers within my gates.
And my divine Althea brings
TO whisper at my CRATES;
When l lie tangled in her hair
And fettered to her eye
The birds that wanton in the air
Know no such liberty
When flowing cups run swiftly round
With no allaying Thames,
Our careless heads with roses bound,
Our hearts with loyal flames;
When thirsty grief in wine We steep,
When healths and draughts go free
Fishes, that tipple in the deep,
Know no such liberty.
When. like committed linncts. I
With shriller throat shall sing
The sweetness, mercy. majesty,
And glories of my king;
When l shall voice aloud how good
He is. how great should be
Enlarged winds. that curl the flood,
Know no such liberty.
Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage.
II I have freedom in my love
And in my soul am free
Angels alone. that soar above.
Enjoy such liberty.
