TO KEEP YOUNG.
Lessen Your Food Continually as You
Grow Older.

Lessen Your Food Continually as You
Grow Older,
What man or woman, growing old,
would not give fortune for the re-
newal of youth? With little care
they might have kept it for ten or 4
dozen years longer, but its value was
not realized until too late, says DR.. Co.
hen, the noted London specialist.
Up to the age of twenty-three or
twenty-five in the case of men and
eighteen or twenty in women, the
framework of the body is being form
ed, and the diet should be generous.
After the thirtieth year has been pass
ed it is no longer necessary to eat to
make more tissues, but only to pre-
serve equilibrium of weight and
strength. Yet at that time eating is Il
pleasure highly appreciated. Therefore
and this is the time of life when in
discretions in diet produce disease with
especial frequency.
Do not eat heavy suppers.
Drink little or no alcohol.
Avoid rich meats and pastry.
Do not grow fat by eating too much.
Fat people seldom reach a good old
age. The youthful old man is lean.
Lessen your food continually as you
grow older.
Overeating produces all the diseases
that make one old.
Undertaking shortens life.
Just enough and trifle over is the
ideal.

THE LOG JAM.
Quick and Sure Must Be the Workers
When II Goes Out.


When It Goes Out.
Log jams are not an abnormal part
of the riverman's work, as most people
suppose, but regular incident of the
days business. In the breaking of
them the jam crew must be quick and
sure. l know Of no finer sight than the
going out of a tall jam. The men pry,
heave and tug sometimes for hours.
Then all at once the apparently solid
surface begins to crealSand settle. The
men zigzag rapidly to shore. A crash
and spout of waters mark where the
first tier Is already topping into the
current. The front melts like sugar.
A vast, formidable movement agitates
the brown tangle as far as you can see
and then with another sudden and
mighty crash the whole river bursts
into torrent of motion.
If everything has gone well, the men
are all safe ashore, leaning ON their
peayies, but ready at any instant to
hasten out for the purpose of discour-
aging by quic,;. hard work and tend
ency to plug Oh The part of the moving
timbers. | have seen men out of bra
vado jump from the breast of jam
just as it was breaking down to float
ing log ahead, thus to be carried in the
sweep and rush far down the river. A
single slip meant death.-Stewart Ed

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and Aue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and i'm
proved way is called fue cured.
In fue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of flame heated flues, which
brings out in the tobacco that
stimulating taste and aroma that
expert roasting develops in green
coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer
ing and stimulating quality that pop
ularizes their use.
The quality of tobacco depends
much on the curing process and the
kind of soil that produces it, as ex-
pert tests prove that this fue cured

A PRINCE OF DWl.3FS.
Career Of tho Famous Count Joseph
BoruwIaski.

|
Boruwlaski.
The most famous dwarf who has
fourished in the British isles Is I'M
doubtedly Count Joseph Boruwlaski,
whose long life-he died at the age of
ninety-eight years-is another example
OF the longevity of his kind. Boruw-
laski stood only three feet three inches
iu height. This did not prevent him
from marrying beautiful woman or
from mixing in the best court society
of the Georgian period. He was very
amiably received at Carlton House by
George ". few weeks before that
monarch's coronation. So struck was
the king by this dwarf's physical grace
and mental accomplishments that he
remarked to Charles Mathews, who
had brought the little man, IF l had
dozen sons could not wish them n
more perfect model of elegance than
the count"
Boruwlaskis last days were spent In
peaceful retirement in the city of Dur
ham. He tells us that in spite of the
theory that dwarfs grow all their life
he never added a quarter of an inch
to his three feet three inches. When Il
lady asked him for his autograph, he
sent these lines:
Poland was my cradle.
England is my nest,
Durham Is my quiet place
Where my weary bones shall rest
He had known Marie Antoinette as
child, and he was living when Queen
Victoria was crowned. 1t is in the
Church of st. Mary the Less at Dur
ham, close to the cathedral, in which
his body lies, that you read the follow
ing inscriptions:
Near this spot repose the remains
of Count Joseph Boruwlaski, native
Of Pokucia, in the late kingdom of Po-
land. This extraordinary man meas
ured no more than three feet three
inches in height, but his form was we'll
proportioned, and he possessed more
than common share of understanding
and knowledge. After various changes
of fortune, borne with cheerful resig-
nation to the will of God, he closed his
life in the vicinity of the cathedral on
Sept 5, 1887, in the ninety-eighth year
of his age"-P. T. o. of London.

The mingled feelings of admiration
and skepticsm with which we gazed
upon the stuffed animals in the toy

in the society Of many of the human

trust, while there is nothing of which
we are more convinced than that ev-
erything is unreal, from the complex

A TORNADO.
The Spiral That Connects the Earth
With the Clouds.

The Spiral That Connects the Earth
With the Clouds.
While in Kansas a few years ago
had a very clear view of a tornado. 1t
was about ten miles distant, passing
swiftly over the prairie. 1t presented
the appearance of a long rope about
two feet in diameter 1t extended
from a dark, irregularly shaped cloud
to the earth and was slightly curved.
1t was of nearly uniform thickness
and leaned about thirtytive degrees
from a perpendicular toward the cloud.
A line drawn from where l stood to
the cloud would have made an angle Of
about forty degrees with the earth's
surface. After this ropelike projection
had parted l noticed in the irregular
cloud perfectly shaped spiral of sill
yer wilderness. 1t was shaped like a
great auger and extended from the
point where the funnel or rope had
been connected with the cloud forward
in the direction the cloud was moving.
All around it was in wild commotion,
bul llS SPllul llSCll oGClheu W
like a great white ribbon coiled auger
shape and fixed secure. This spiral at
the time l caught sight of it was lying
in nearly horizontal position, the for
ward end being only slightly elevated.
l have never met any one who has
seen this spiral in the tornado cloud,
but by one who came dangerously near
being caught by a passing tornado
was told that the center of the whirl-
ing funnel was as white as milk. From
his statement, taken in connection
with my own observations, l have
formed the opinion that the center of
all tornadoes is perfectly shaped cleo
triCal spiral and that when in opera
ton it connects the earth with the
cloud. 1t is manifest that such a spiral
would give the middle of the tornado
funnel a white appearance. But it is
not likely that one looking at it in it's
upright form would detect its spiral
form. Indeed, it would have to turn
Itself in a most favorable position in
