counted less than eighty centenarians. or
in tho ratio OF one 10 oo00: that the
ratio is lower still in Denmark. where II

1t IS one to 1.s5O,OOo. but that 1t rises in

Balkans, where Roumania can show one

Via one for every 4.5Oo and Bulgaria ono

and equable climate OF the Mediterranean
Sea upon longevity. It also Is a probable

In this connection the New York Eve
ming Post quotes Sir Lauder Brunton. a
distinguished English physician. who says:
There has been continuous increase
i'm the expectation Of life from a little
under forty years in 1854 TO a trifle less
than forty-eight years in 1900" A gain
OF eight years in half a century appears
tremendous. but the figures could be, OF
course. more significant stiH II We ap-
piled the comparison to two periods
separated by several centuries. 1t is hard
TO realize what this means when We con-
slider that some four or five hundred
years ago the average expectation OF life
was fifteen years less than it is to-day
Tho question that naturally arises is have
VIC gained anything like the fuiness of life
that should come from such an enormous
rroportiouate increase. IN the mad rush
of automobiles. telephones and suburban
trains. there is little time for that refined
leisure which all hope 10 enjoy and so
few ever attain. IL does not require
wealth 10 take things quietly. All that is
needed is a calm and steady outlook and
fixed intention 20 rule the circum-
stances around us rather than be ruled

post that stands stiu and not around
the feather blown hithor and thither
along the beach. and SO the man who

life for a little leisure gets more from
life than he who lives few years more,
perhaps. but spends them all in futile
