Secret OF emokers' and Drinker9
Longevity Explained BY
This Theory.

The influence Of the heredity IN
the genesis Of long life is well
known to all observant persons
says American Medicine. A case
in point is mentioned by the Ian
Get of June 4, 1904. A man had
just died in the Blackburn work
house at the undoubted age of 105.
His mother also lived to 105, and
his sister "was killed. at 1O2. This
man had been "a snuff-taker and
habitual smoker, and was not
'averse to a glass of beer" 1t is,
indeed, q very remarkable fact
that, notwithstanding all the out
cries which have been raised
against certain habits of philan-
thropists, as destructive Of health
and life, not one Of them is entire.
~ corrobOrated by the records Of
centenarianism. Persons ofnlmost
all habits and occupatiOns--even
some ofsthe most nnsanitaFy and
most dangerous-will be found
enrolled on the same list. The
North American Indian, who
lived a life of continuous expos.
ure, in unchanging filth OF per.
sonal habit, and the modern chem.
list, who spent all his more active
lOurs in close laboratory, neces-
sarily inhaling the foul gases of
his myriad experiments, have
both lived to the age of 103. The
list includes philosophers and
criminals, soldiers and sneaks.
teetOtalers and drunkards, globe
tr0tters and denizens Of a single
room Tor cell, mobiles and servants,
millionaires and paupers. The an
nails Of longevity inform US that
Lady Lawson, who died at the
age Of 116, never practiced ablu
tons Of any kind, or hardly in any
degree, because, as she alleged,
those people who washed them
selves were always taking cold or
laying the foundation Of some
dreadful disorder" And, more
over, that her apartment was only
occasionally swept out, but never
washed; the windows were so en-
crusted with dirt that they hardly
admitted d ray of light" In the
presence of such facts, dogmatists
sanitary should surely be some
what more modest!

BALD FROM NOT SHAVING.
Boss Barber Says This Is Always the
Case When Facial Fur Is

"Of all the 'fucial fashions that
sweep over New York every few
years" observed the Boss Barber
to a World man, "thc present
vogue Of clean.shAven faces is not

SIOUX WOMAN BEST WIFE.
About 4,5oo Squaw Men Testify to

he says, "that the sOn.in.law shall

AUKs' GOES way COSTLY.
nemains Of Famous Bird Are 70 ps
Found in Several Places
Others Extinct.


Perhaps the hest known OF the
many extinct species Of birds, ac.
cording to Andrew Wilson, is the
great aux. It's eggs bring marvel
GUS prices. It's remains have been
discovered in Denmark, in Scot.
land and in the north and south of
ireland. Newfoundland has also
yielded traces of the bird. The
last two living auks were captured
off Iceland in 1874. Prior captures
are chronicled in Scotland and
elsewhere between 1912 and 1894,
while an instance is also recorded
OF a catch at st. Kilda in 1910.
Another Of the best known OF the
vanished birds is the dodO. This
bird, which IL alive would probably
be classifled with the pigeon tribes.
was an inhabitant Of Mauritius.
The dodO itself was q big, clumsy
bird, presenting the appearance OF
a much overgrown turkey pic
lures OF il exist, while actual
specimens oft exist in the British
museum and at Cambridge. The
tirst mention of the bird dates
from 1898. II received from the
Dutchmen the opprObrious desig-
nation of the "walghvogel," or
"nauseOus bird" an allusion to
the fact that it's flesh was not
pleasant to the taste The last of
the dodos disappeared at the
close OF the seventeenth century.
''In the Samoan islands," says
Mr.. Wilson, els found the diduncu
lus, the nearest living relative of
the dOdo. Here we meet a hooked
bill, hence its popular name Of
'tOoth.billed pigeon. For reasons
of safety it would appear that this
bird has changed it's habits and
now takes to trees instead of
spending its life on the ground.
The Rodriguez solitaire became
extinct about the middle of the
eighteenth century. 1t appears to
have been the size of a swan. II
also owed IFS determination to the
feebleness of it's wings. The wings
Of the males bore each a mass Of
bony nature the size of musket
ball, this appendage being used
as d means of defense. Exceed.
ing these birds in interest, how
ever, are the gigantic extinct wing
less birds of New Zealand, known
as the moas. In that region we
find the little apteryx, or kiwi,
alive, with its rudimentary wings,
it's long bill and its general gro
tesque aspect, the survivor of a
long race Of wingless ancestors.
The moas were of a very large size.
One species measured at least ten
feet in height.
madagascar also had its share
of giant birds. The aepyOrnis Of
that land was believed to repre-.
sent the roe Of Sinbad's tale. Its
eggs measured from II to Is inch.
es by u inches, being about eight
times larger than the eggs of the
ostrich. This latter species ap.
pears to have become extinct
about 200 years ago. Curious il is
10 note that mere size does nor
guarantee species against exter-
mination. In addition, ii demands
adequate provision for defense
and for ofiense also"
