Lonoest and Oldest Tunnel.

The near completion of the Penn
sylvania tunnel reminds the American
Israelite of the Oldest known tunnel
in the world, that of Shiloah. near Je-
rusalem. 1t was used as an acque-
duct. The famous inscription, dis
covered few years ago, celebrates
the first meeting of the diggers from
both sides. Newspapers did not APP
pear in those days. and SO the event
cannot be exactly dated, but 1t most
probably took place under King Heze-
kiah, about 700 B. c., and Is an In
teresting testimony to the high state
of civilization among the Jews at a
time when Europe was Inhabited by
savages.

In the art of keeping well, the art of
keeping an easy mind takes high
place.
Avoid drugs. Avoid stimulants.
Avoid crutches. The habit of resort

is fatal. Drugs should never be taken
except by the order of physicians who
have a reason for prescribing them.

heart, whether they give transient
sense of increased power, or a tran
sient desire to sleep, they are not for

Tea and coffee are the only stimulants

with safety, and it is an open question
whether or not nine-tenths of us
would not be much better IL we used

gence in either tea or coffee is mark
ed. Nobody can be called well who
acknowledges slavery to any article
of food or drink. We should rule oul

TOO FEW SEEM TO KNOW HOW
TO KEEP WELL.
Art That Is Worth Studying-Prin-
.cipies Are Very Simple and Can
Be Told In Few Words-Be-
ware of Worry.
BY MARGARET {. sANesTER.


Considering the trouble we all take
about getting well when we are Ill, it
lis extraordinary that some OF us take
80 little pains to keep well.
The latest theory of science Is op-
posed to common belief that some
people are born we'll and others born
I'LL. The babe in the hut and TIE
world with a certain capital stock on
which he may draw. Whether we ac-
cept this or deny 1t, the probability is
that most of US could keep well after
childhood If only we knew how. We
play with our health as boy plays
at marbles. We take risks, we do
foolish things, we leave undone things
that we plainly ought to do. Every
body has seen, for instance, the frail
tenure of life held by an invalid who
Is always looking out and protecting
herself from peril; such an invalid
often outlives care-takers who are
strong and neighbors who are over
flowing with robust vitality. We have
seen, too, a man of active tempera-
ment, brisk and impulsive and full OF
business, have marked him as one who
has long life before him, and have
presently been Mortified when he falls
exhausted by the way. He did not
know how to keep well.
The art of keeping well is worth
studying. Its principles are very sim
pie Nothing particularly occult OF
particularly puzzling belongs to it
They who wish to keep well must be
ware not of draughts, not of fresh air
not of sunshine, or rain, but primarily
must avoid too great fatigue. The nor
NAL human being who is in good
health Is able to endure a certain
amount of strain and to carry Ger
tain amount of weight.
It is not doing the days work tina
tells upon health and brings it to the
breaking point; 1t is doing the bit tor
much that in the end causes WEAKNESS
of mind and body and makes person
what is called rundown. To be rui
down in nerves or in strength is per
ilous.
81 took cold when l was tired" is
common expression and describes
common experience. Don't get tire
and you won't take cold.
Another prescription for keeping
well is eliminate worry. Worried pee
pie are very seldom well people. WoI
ry frets mind and body as moth fret
the fabric of a beautiful garment
Worry corrodes the soul as rust col
rodes metal. From all sides come
the protest, 1T is easy enough to sa,
don't worry, but how is one to help II
if he be of worrying disposition or
things are contrary"
Days dawn with frowning faces an
through all their course they seem t
bring nothing but disaster, disappoin
ment and defeat Nothing goes RICH
from morning till night. The lette
you expected does not come, the ba
gain you hoped for falls to pieces an
the money you counted on is delayed

HORSESHOE NAILS.
The Way They Are Turned Out by
Expert WOrkmen.

Expert WOrkmen.
Three million separate shoe nails are
often cast from ton of metal OF the
smaller sizes 1000 nails are nodded in
a single mold, and an expert workman
will make eighty molds in an ordinary
working day, thus turning out 100000
separate nails.
When the metal in a liquid state Is
poured into the mold it runs through
the sand in passages provided in the
molding process. The whole of the
nails are cast together and are, when
removed from the sand, connected by
q network Of iron one with another
In this condition the iron is as brittle
as glass, and very little force is re-
quired to separate the nails from the
network which holds them together
They then have to undergo the proc
ess known as annealing. They are
mixed up with hematite iron ore, which
is In a powdered state, put into iron
pots and placed in an annealing fur
mace, sort Of kiln. Here they remain
for some days, care being taken to so
regulate the heat to which they are
subjected that the iron will not be re-
melted, but brought very nearly to that
condition. The action of the raw iron
ore upon the brittle casting is marvel
