 Rate to England.
 New York, July 2o.--A special to The Herald from Halifax, N. S., says:
 George B. Cortelyou. postmaster general of the United States. is in Hal flax with his family on a vacation trip.
 MT Cortelyou satd he did not wish to express any opinion on the aues- ton of two-cent letter rate between the United States and England. but he thought 1t not unlikely that such an arrangement would be affected
 The United States had taken a step in the direction of greater interna- tional postal facilities by increasing the regulation weight of letters. thus rendering unnecessary the use oe the light paper formerly employed for for- efgn letter writing.
 As an offset to the British Imperial. two-cept rate that now prevails, Mir. corteiy0u mentioned the fact that a similar rate existed between the Uni- ted States. the Philippines and Porto Rico.

peopIe Who Live Longest

Certain physical characteristics are usually associated with longevity. Per haps the most noticeable of these is carriage. Ninety-nine out of hun dread people have curvature of the spine. The octogenarian Is the hun dredth man. His spine is a straight line, his head erect, his chest broad and deep. This means that the vital organs are properly supported by the attachments provided by nature and that they do not rest upon and crowd each other. The heart, lungs, stomach, liver and kidneys are thus enabled to do their work unimpeded. ss. Another characteristic Is the habit of slow, deep respiration. The oxygen is real food, for only the matter oxld!zed in the system becomes tissue. Deep, full breathing means an immensely in- creased amount of oxygen ingested and an equally augmented quantity of poi son matter eliminated by the lungs. Mental quietude Is essential to proper breathing. The excited person. the emotional individual who suffocates with joy, palpitates with enthusiasm, chokes with rage, gasps in astonish- ment, sighs from the intensity of his attachments-the emotional individual by every inequality In his respiration abbreviates his life.
 Another physical characteristic is ease and repose of movement. The old person-the hale, vigorous, healthy otd nan-moves easily, lightly. silently. He has always moved that way.
 A fourth peculiarity of those who live long is that they are invariably small eaters. Gormonds die young. The oc- togenarian is always frugal.

THE sUEZ CANAL.
Enterprise Has Proven We'll Worth Jta

LutcIQfISS mas DFOven Wcu worth Ie9 Cost.
 Tecnical World
 The cretaation of the wheat trade of In dia was directly due to the opening of the Suez route to Europe. Before that time all attempts successfully to ship wheat by awy of the Cape of Good Hope had failed.
 because of heating during the long voyage
 and the loss from weevils in the cargo.
 During the first year of operation of the
 suez Canal 4s6 vessels aggregating 43s.ooo
 tons. passed through it. At the present
 time the number is about 1000 ships. with a tonnage of about 10.00o,000.
 The magnitude of these figures becomes apparent when 1t Is considered that the foreign tonnage entering at the port of New
 York is less than 9.o00.oo a year.
 Measured by value. the importance of Suez Canal traffic becomes much larger. the
 imports and exports of India alone. which pass through 1t being nearly one-quarter of
 the value of the total foreign trade of tho
 United States.
 The building of the suez Canal was a tri-
 umph of organization. At times no fewer than s0.000 laborers were employed. and ali the adjuncts of permanent community had to be provided by the constructing company. The cost of maintenance of the canal ia
 necessarily high on account of the drift of sand from the Nile at Port Said. which
 has constantly to be dredged away. The operating expenses are also heavy. the great traffic involving considerable cost for pilot age. Altogether the annual expense for maintenance and operation is at the present time about s1,4oo. 900. orapproximately $13.- 900 per mile.
 About thirteen horus are required to go through the Suez Canal by ordinary steam CT. By a system of landing marks and cleo tric light buoys navigations by night ifs made safe as by day: and each vessel in motion is required to supplment the station ary lighting system by hanging on board and in operation lighting apparatus to H.
 illuminate its passage through. Vessels
 without an apparatus of their own may hire
