SECRET OF LONG LIFE.

Sir James Sawyer, noted physi-
clan of Birmingham, England, has
been talking recently to an audience
in that town of longevity. Its secret
he thinks. lies in keeping the nineteen
commandments following:
Eight hours sleep.
Sleep on your right side.
Keep your bedroom window open all
night.
Have mat at your bedroom door.
Do not have your bedstead against
the wall.
No cold tub in the morning, but a
bath at the temperature of the body.
Exercise before breakfast
Eat little meat, and see that it is
we'll cooked.
For adults: Drink no milk.
Eat plenty of fat to feed the cells
which destroy disease germs.
Avoid intoxicants, which destroy
those cells.
Daily exercise in the open abr.
Allow no pet animals in your living
rooms; they are likely to carry about
disease germs.
Live in the country If you can.
Watch the three DIS: drinking wa
ter, damp and drains.
Have change of occupation.
Ta--e frequent and short holidays.
Limit your ambition.
Keep your temper.

Seventeen, talked of love in cot
tage.
Eighteen, fancied myself in love
with some handsome man who fat
tered me.
Twenty-one, felt great confidence in
my own attractions, and expected
brilliant marriage.
Twenty-Five, refused a good offer be-
cause he was not man of fashion.
Twenty-three, firted outrageously.
Twenty -four, wondered why not
married.
Twenty-six, began to think large
fortune not quite SO indispensable.
Twenty-eight, wished to be married
Ia quiet way, with comfortable
home and children.
Twenty-nine, almost despaired of
marriage.
Thirty, fearful of being called an
old maid
Thirty-one, an additional lover Of
dress.
Thirty-two, protested to dislike

Thirty-three, wondered how men
could leave the society of sensible
women to f1irt with chits.
Thirty -four, quarreled with friend
who had been lately married.
Thirty-five, liked talking OF my &C.
quaintances, who are married unfortu-

ART OF INTRODUCTION.

There are few people who have not
suffered at one time or another by the
off-hand manner in which they were
introduced to others. This kind OF
introduction is likely to embarrass
some people, just as the careful and
gracious introduction is one of the
essentials in putting strangers at
ease.
In introducing people the greatest
care should be taken to pronounce
both names distinctly. II one name
has escaped the introdMcer's memory
it is safest and best to excuse oneself,
and ask for the forgotten name. The
most delicate sensibilities should not
be wounded by such slip of memory,
for who is there who has not at some
time or another quite forgotten a
we'll known name?
The debatable question as to
whether woman should shake hands
with man who is being presented to
her, has been solved by making it
only obligatory, for the woman to
offer her hand to the man when the
occasion is informal, and the man is
being introduced to one person at
time. When he is meeting a group
OF people it makes it embarrassing
and awkward to shake hands with all.

HIS MOTHER AND DIcKY.

She's a woman with a mission;
tbs her. heaven-born ambition to re-
form the worlds condition, you will
please to understand.
She's a model of propriety, a leader
In society, and has a great variety OF
remedies at hand.
Each sovereign specific, with a
title scientific, for the cure of things
morbiic that vex the people sore;
For the swift alienation of the
evils Of the nation is her foreordained
vocation on this sublunary shore.
And while thus she's up and coming,
always hurrying and humming, and
occasionally summing, this reformer
of renown.
Her neglected little Dicky, ragged.
dirty, tough. and tricky, with his fin
gers soiled ana sticky, is the terror of
the town.-Tit-Bits.

Weed Out Unworthy Charities,

There are in every large city worthy
charities in which the expenses for
Office maintenance and for red tape
generally are kept as small as possible,
aud in which the major party of every
dollar received goes directly to relieve
pressing need orsecure work for those
out Of employment. But even the
best of these agencies fall under sus-
picion because the appeals made for
spurious charities sound so like those
for the genuine. The best thing
possible for the useful organized char
tiles would be the wedding out ald
branding Of all these spurious organi-

.ENoLANDs FORMER ENEMIES.

The three greatest potentates of
modern times have been England's
strenuous antagonists-viz, Philip H.,
Louis XIV. and Napoleon. OF these
three Napoleon was the most power
full, Philip the most deadly. The
leaders under whom the English raj
lied against these world famous mon
archs were: First, Elizabeth and
Drake; second, William and Marlbor-
ough; third, Pitt and Nelson The re-
suit of the first of these great historic
duels was to overturn the foundations
of Spanish empire, with it's dominion
over the seas, it's vast colonial pos
sessions, its claim under a papal bull
to an exclusive monopoly of the new
world. The result of the second was
to decide which should be the resid-
uary legatee of the deceased Spanish
power, France or England, giving in
the end the succession to its old
world dominions to France, it's trade,
maritime supremacy and colonies
mainly to England. The result of the
third was to shatter Napoleon's hopes
of ascendancy by sea and to force MIN
back on European conquests, upon
projects which related to the old
world and not the new. Pitt and Nell
son did not disappear till that end
was attained. and Eagland's part in
the later wars of Napoleon was that.
having, as Pitt said in almost his clos
ing words, saved herself by her en-
ergy, she saved Europe by her exam
pie and Blackwood's Mag
azine.

1t is doubtful if the average annual
income Of lawyers. including all

few are able to command large fees

There is bound to be reaction,
and it is apparent to some extent now.
People have kept up from the excite
ment, and the jollying and joshing
of many keep the rest in good spirits,
but those who have lost heavily or all
have got to begin the hard struggle
upward again and among so many
there are necessarily some who are
feeble, old, or in poor health who will
find the burden too great. The hard
est and saddest part Of it is yet to
come, but that will be lost sight of,
and you will hear about the big build
ings that will be put up, and how

Francisco, a four-story building tnal
shows only one story above ground
since the earthquake, several nave
told me of it. The modern steel
frame buildings have come on with
flying colors, having stood earthquake
and fire better than anything elSe. Ed.
De Cola has an Office on the nltn
floor OF such a building. Although
the fire swept against it twice, moth
ing above the fourth floor burned up,
though the fifth was somewhat dam
eyed. 1t was the same in the Mer-
chants exchange building and some
others of the more recent structures.
Among the sights in San Francisco
were the many ways in which house
hold effects were moved. Lots OF
trunks were pulled and pushed along,
frequently by women, one in front
pulling on a rope, another behind
pushing. Often pet dog Or parrot
or some other animal would be on
top of the trunk. Sewing machines
were frequently seen. Anything on
wheels or castere Of course could be
easily moved. Rocking chairs were
pushed or pulled along with bedding,
etc., piled upon them saw one team
composed of two women dragging
two ordinary chairs tied on their
backs and dashed together, and then
all sorts of things piled on them.
They were pulled along by the ropes.
At the corner groceries on the second
day long lines of people were waiting
to buy or perhaps receive without pay
whatever they could get. Some got
catsup, others pickles. One woman
showed her disgust by smashing her
catsup on the pavement after she
came out. One man had tin can of
jelly nothing else), and was dipping
it out ON the blade of his pocketknife
and eating it. | can't imagine any
thing worse than that for a meal. At
one grocery two soldiers guarded the
entrance while some one inside was
tossing out the stock to the crowd. l
presume these stores had been seized
as many If not all were. This is the
way the people were fed the second
day of the fire; and then thousands
went hungry, though then some relief
began to come in. Meanwhile those
that got across the bay were fed by
the relief committees of Oakland,
Berkeley and Alameda, which got
early to work.

Chinatown and the Italian quarter
had been burned and | had to climb
Telegraph hill to get through. There
was quite a procession vending its
way down to the city front, a large
exodus having set in, and people were
tramping slowly down to the ferry,
carrying such OF their belongings as
they COULD and, occasionally among
the motley throng, was party Of
tourists vending their way in the
same direction. At the ferry hun
dreds of people were waiting for a
chance to cross the bay, the Southern
Pacific company having already com
menced to carry refugees. They af-
terward took refugees anywhere they
wished to go on their lines, and the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe did the
same thing, so that thousands have
left the city and scattered all over
the coast, some going east. Now it is
feared there will be scarcity of Ia
Dor. We are not yet getting any
news to speak of except in our imme-
diate vicinity, and have no idea of
what is going on in the rest of the
world. We received a telegram today

BoSToN'S CONCRETE BUILDINGS

That brick, stone and board houses are

opinion of a member OF one of the largest
construction companies in Boston, a COM
pany which has on hand already orders
for erecting thirty buildings wholly Of con-
crete--hoors, ceilings roofs and all.

concrete, say men who keep pace with the

OF the many architects and builders IN
the city none of those seen by the Sunday
Post reporter last week hesitated to state
that concrete was to become the future
construction material not only Of this city
but of the whole country.
The difficulty up TO the present time in
making such houses has been the expense
OF the mold into which the concrete is
poured. There has been no such mold that
could he put together and taken apart for
each successive molding.
Today concrete construction is gradually
finding its way into every form of archi-
tectural work in this city. Few Bostonians
are aware Of the large number OF modern
dwellings, tue luleIlof Wits anu uoOlH VI
which are built of concrete.
The three-stoTy motor garage in Park
square and the now Hebrew synagogue on
Commonwealth avenue are examples Of con-
crete construction within and without The
Charles river dam and the new bridge have
concrete foundations up to the high water
mark
In the vicinity Of Boston there are two
dwelling houses. one at Wollaston and the
other in Newton, built entirely of concrete
