The Limit Of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally acceptiol limitation OF
human life is many years below the at

knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period. that
determines its duration, seems to be
between 30 and 60; the proper care
OF the body during this decade cannot
be too strongly urged; carelessness
then being fatal to longevity. Natures

Arnold lupton's Plan to Use Eo Cos.
IN the EnqIish Estrosoiis

To riI Lon ION Of lis smoke m.
the world is the task &c Arnold LuD-
ton, q member of the English Plrlla-
ment. \ report received at the Bur
eau OF Manufactures, Washington u.
G., says:
His plan contcmplates the Use OF
electricity for power. lighting, heating
and cooking in London. and bringing
the electrical energy from the coal
fields Of the Midlands. thus doing
away with the smoke producers OF
the metropolis. 1t is stated that MI.
Lupton took an active part in the
preparation of plan for harnesslnS

Of 100000 horsepower, and that his
present project is backed by enSl-
neers of distinction He estimates
that the smoke nuisance damages

sonal discomfort which it causes.
The success of his project would
not only abate this intclera0le nuis-

furnish cheap substitute for the
present source of light, heat and
power. Mr.. Lupton is thus quoted:
What l propose is to use high
tention current of $4,000 volts and to
bring the electric energy from the
Midland coal fields, 12O miles away.
If London were Supplied with cleo
trio generators of, say. 100000 kllo-
watts average load, the greater part
of the railways, tramways and fac
tories could get their electric light
ing and power and the bulk OF the
houses be warmed and the cooking
done by electric energy. The cur
rent could be delivered in London
in bulk at / farthing (half a cent?
per unit. and therefore it could be
sold at 1 penny e cents) AID even
less for large quantities"
1T is proposed to construct plant
as a beginning, to be enlarged when
needed, to cost about 17.OOO,000. The
railways may oppose this project. for
it would mean a heavy annual loss
to them in freight receipts from car
rying coal to London. But manifest

"There's MANY a Slip"

This phrase originated with poor
slave. 1t was prophesied OF king,
and the prophecy was fulfilled. When
Ancaenus was King of Samos in the
Grecian Archipelago, he planted an
extensive vineyard, and oppressed his
slaves so heavily in its cultivation
that one of the bolder ones prophesied
that he would never live to taste any
of the wine.
The king laughed and had the
slave beaten. Then at last when the
wine was made he sent fer the slave
to witness him drink the first glass
CT it in order to show him that the
prophecy was false. When the SER
want appeared the king, raising the
glass of liquor, said: What do you
think of you: prophecy now?'
There is many a slip 'twiXt cup
and lip" was the answer. The
words were scarcely uttered when
Ancaenus was informed that a wild
boar had broken into the vineyard
and was running it. Dropping the
wine untastei. the king fastened to
the scene to drive out the boar. but
was killed in the encounter, and the
slaves prophecy was fulfilled.

FritZ,s Adventure

BY Alice Grassneyer. Aged u Years,
Riverdale, Neb. tRed)
Fritz was boy who lived in a lonely
part of the country. His home was a rude
cabin in a forest, far from any friend.
One day Fritz was sent to the village. AS
It was very cold he spent the evening with
friends. 1t was quite dark before he
started home When he was nearly there
he saw a large wolf in front Of him. He
knew he must not run, that meant death.
SO he thought of a plan. He lay fiat on
his back as II he were dead. Soon the wolf
came shifting around him and looked very
closely at him.
Death or lfel" thought he. Then he
seized the VOLTS paws and drew them
very closely round his neck, so the animal
could hardly breathe At last he came to
his home, and as he couldn't knock he
dashed the wolf against the door, crying
Help! Help, Father" His father opened
the door, and Fritz cried THE dogs,
quick!
So he let the dogs loose. Fritz released
the wolf and the dogs bounced upon it.
Fritz didn't want the wolf to be killed.
He told his father to pull the dogs away.
He got a rope and dragged it into a box,
as it was badly wounded, and afterward
sold It to a menagerie.

Gertrude and the Goat

BY Marie Noone, Aged - Years, 3SA
Franklin Street, Omaha. Neb. Red.
It was a warm day School was just out
and Gertrude stood looking at a large field
To cross 1t was short way home for her
and very pleasant way. but for one thing
in this field there was a very mean goat
OF which every one was afraid. 1t would
attack man, woman or child The man who
owned this field thought that 1t would be
better for children not to cross II, so Cert
rude stood thinking whether to cross It or
not, She looked all around, but there was
no sign Of the goat, so she made up her
mind to cross II. She started and was
half way across when she saw the goat
coming toward her.
When the goat saw Gertrude II started
after her. Not far on was a stump OF
a tree and towards this Gertrude ran as
fast as she could. When she reached there
she took her apron of, tied It around the
stump and then stood behind II. The
goat came soon after, and bump went its
head against the stump. After awhile
Gertrude looked around. There lay the
goat as II dead. IL did not take long for
Gertrude to get home and she never at
tempted to cross the field again.
