HOW TO LKHE LONG.

There are many ways to attain ex- treme old age. Some do 1t by means of tobacco. Rum helps others. Abstinence from worry is another device. But per- haps the slickest way has been adopted by Louis Perlstein, who has just died in New York in his 112th year. MT, Perlstein came to this. country over for ty years ago. He had been a tailor lbut the free air of this country invited him to repose, and after landing in New York and noticing how much money every one else had, he decided to live on it. For more than forty years he did no work; he drank and smoked in moderation, and he stubbornly refused to take medicine. He attributed his years to abstinence from work.
 Those who are trying to live long without work will be much encouraged by MT. Perlstein's career. Had he formed the habit of not working earlier in life he might have lived much long, CT. Many in this country have formed it early, and we may expect some start ling records if MT. Perlstein's theory is right. Father may be wiser than he has been credited with being.

SCENE FOR A PAINTER.

How President Fallieres Received the
 St. Louis Exposition Medal.
 One of the most graceful acts of the managers of the St. Louis Exposition, which was held two years ago. was the award of handsome medal to the
 President of France, the country from which came the great region the fair was held to commemorate. When tho big show was closed and the details of settlement were all adjusted somebody thought that the medal had not yet been formally presented to the French Executive. A, happy inspiration sug- gested that a delegation of St. Louisans go to Paris especially for this purpose. The idea was heartily indorsed, and a committee was named, headed by the President of the Exposition. Such dig nified bodies move slowly, and the de- legation of medal-bearers did not get off until this summer They travelled in the leisurely manner of men charged with q weighty responsibility. They reached Paris some days ago and enter- ed upon course of formal correspond ence with the French President. It takes time to arrange these weighty affairs, and at last a day was named for presentation. The weather was hot
 nd President Fallieres had retired to his summer residence, the French Oyster Bay. He agreed that it would be infinitely the better plan to nave the medal presented in the Flysee Palace, and set day for the uncom- fortable journey up to Paris. The members of the committee called their valets and had their silk hats ironed and their frock coats brushed, and saw that their red ribbon of the Legion of Honor were neatly tied in their button holes, and then on the morn of the ap- pointed day they were driven in state to the palace, perspiring, but proud and happy. The President of France came, and there was much handshaking and

the moon had not yet risen. Suddenly there was a movement as though a portion of it's blackness had detached itself from the rest and begun to creep away Just at that moment the moon rose and revealed to Us the 1.-the bady of panther sinking through the un- dergroWth. A shot rang out and with a yelp of pain the panther disappeared into the bushes.
 With the sunrise we descended from the platform and began to examine the partners trail, The effect of the shot was shown by the patches of blood on the ground, which led us through a couple hundred yards of thick jungle. AAfter crawling on hands and knees under the brushwood we reached a narrow nullah, A Alittle beyond this we came upon the wounded panther scaling tree. fired, but the range was too long and the shot proved fu- tile. The disturbance had the result, however, of startling the animal into failing from the tree to the ground. The shlkari and I followed quickly on it's track. It led finally to a deep and thickly wooded nullah, which had talk en the form of a horseshoe. The pam ther entered the nullah at the center of the bend and turned along the left arm, growing angrily as it covered the ground In heavy strides. We kept about twenty yards from the nullah and skirted 1t along the right until the top of the bend was reached. Here a halt was made, while approached the nullah, the panther growing away at the other end, about two hundred yards distant.
 Then all was still. The animal seemed to have vanished. Suddenly It sprang out right from under my feet, having doubled back along the water course, without making the slightest noise. Caught surprise fired rap idly and stepped back to avoid the anil mars spring, and in so doing fell into the nullah The next moment the pan- ther was on me and had fixed it's teeth in my arm.
 Suddenly my little fox terrier Toby flew at the panther and fixed itself on it's back, tearing hard at its neck. This diversion caused the panther to leave me to attack the dog, and was able to stagger up and out of the null lah and run to where the native track CTS were covering. There I fainted and was carried back to the bungalow, l'bleeding from fourteen wounds.

LOOKING UP.

It is interesting that just as Silver's greatest and best friend is about to put his feet on his native heath Silver is looking up, and Is likely to look up higher The treasury department made it's first weekly purchase of silver bull lion Wednesday for subsidiary coinage under the new policy announced by the Director of the Mint last week and ap- proved by Secretary Shaw When the tenders were opened the price of the bullion was found to be so high that only 50,O0O ounces were bought. There were four tenders, the lowest being 66.62 cents an ounce The original plan was to purchase 100000 ounces every Wednesday, until sufficient supply was obtained to meet the shortage in subsidiary coin, but unless the price drops the treasury will refrain from going into the market for large pur- chases. It is possible that only small
 
 purchases will be made for immediate needs until congress meets, when legis- lation to meet the stringency in money of small denominations may relieve the treasury from the necessity of buying largely, or prevent the market price from being pulled because the government has begun to buy. Further tenders will be received next Wednes- day afternoon at the treasury.
 MT. Bryan has seemed to think that the increase in the supply of gold has taken the wind out of the silver ques- ton, but he has also said that he is more radical than he was in 1896 and has nothing to withdraw on economical questions which have been under dis oussion. So if "the friends of silver get busy he can consistently be busy with them if he wants to be,

the passing of many compliments, and then the battery pf ortorlcaI powers was opened and for period the cam paign of compliment proceed at a fur ious pace Finally came the psycholo- gical moment for the presentatin
 Members of the committee looked at each other inquiringly. A blank expres sion fwas on every face. Colloars wilted Where was the medal? It was not to be found A few whispers and the woe fun fact was disclosed that it had been forgotten. Yes, forgotten, in the anx- iety over silk hats and frock coats and red ribbons. The moment was fraugft with infinite possibilities of tragedy. Shamefacedly the spokesman turned to the President of France and assured him that there really was a medal but that the committee could not immediat ly produce it. Would the President of France be assured that there was medal? Would he consent to recieve it later? Would he forgive the contre- temps? Would he, etc., etc.? Of course he would. President Fallieres or France is, above all, a man blessed with a sense of humor and, assuring his guests that such things happen every day in France and that he cher ished their visit far, far more than the mere bit of metal, he led them off to a cooler spot and the ice was broken. Now the Parlsians are looking for an artist with the genius to paint a pie ture of that historic scene depicting the president of France receiving the American medal he did not get.-- Washington Star.

There was large increase in her industries and conn merce. Even agriculture, the oldest and most widely extended of all Mex tco's activities, was promoted to an ex- tent unknown in any previous year. Over $15O,OOO,0OO of foreign capital was added to the amount placed in produc- tive enterprises in Mexico during the year. A large part of this was con- tributed by the United States but Eng land, Germany and France were repre- scented in it.

THEY WONT BLAB.

Some people who don't realize what Woman Is seem to be afraid that she wont come successfully out of a test which she is undergoing in New York and will undergo elsewhere. The De- partment of Commerce and Labor. Bu- reau of the Census, has detailed twelve of its brightest and most skillful wom- en clerks to inspect the divorce rec ords of New York County for twenty years back They have begun the in- spection and under courtesy have had opened to them the sealed evidence in divorce proceedings known only before to the judges and the referees. They are to gather from the sealed evidence any facts which may have a bearing for the department on framing the pro- posed bill for Federal supervision of divorces. They are not to make rec- ords of any names, and anything that they may find which would be of sen- sational interest is not to pass their lips. A similar inquiry for a similar is to be made at the other divorce centers in the country.
 Will these women tell what they find? Of course not, except to their legal bosses. Do lawyers and doctors stenographers 'blab?' Not much, and not any that amounts to anything, Women can keep secrets well enough when they want to.

STILL ON HIS THRONE.

They are not deposlng our King Cotton quite as much as they were. A Japanese by the name of Yoshuchi Sakuri has just reached San Francisco as the representative of the cotton mer- chants of Japan. He says that last year Japan used oyer 1,0O0000 bales of cotton Give hundred pounds to the 'bale); that one-fourth of this total was United States cotton, the other three fourths coming from India and other parts of Asia; and that the Asian cot ton was found to be "very inferior" to that produced in our Southern States coarser, rotting more easily, and not fit for fine work. The cotton weavers of Japan are determined to have the best cotton fiber in the world, and MT. sakuri is here to see about getting it.. "The export of cotton from the United States to Japan" he says, lis bound to increase enormously in the next few years"
 This will encourage the cotton corner CTS. It will also encourage the cotton growers Verify, things are coming our way. This country has the stuff to sell, and the good paying customers for it.

Sir Henry Hazier, who has just retlr- ed from Lloyds after thlrty-two years service, said that the most disastrous day at sea he could remember was in october. 1881, when 1OS vessels were posted as lost in twelve hours. When vessel is lost 1t is announced by the tolling of the bell which hangs beside the crier's box. It is tolled once when a vessel is lost, twice when missing vessel comes to port. The bell belonged to the Lundine, vessel which went down in the zudyer Zee over a century ago with a million and half in coin on
 board, out of which less than a million was Wrenched from the jaws of the sea.

When is fiddle violin? The judi cial minds of the New York general board of appraisers have reached a conclusion as to what constitutes the difference between fiddle and violin. It is the matter of cost, the decision being that instruments which cost less than two marks-about AS cents-are fiddles, being toys, but that any costing more than that sum are violins, being musical instruments.
