The Limit Of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation Of hui
man life is many years below the att
tainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now pos
sessed. The critical period that deter.
mines its duration seems TO be between
80 and so; the proper care Of the body
during this decade cannot be too strong
~ urged; careless then being fatal to
longevity. Natures best helper after 50

Wives are still obtained by purchase
in some parts of Russia. In the dis
triet OF Kamyshin, on the Yolga, for
example, this is practically the only
way in which marriages are brought
about. The price Of pretty girl from
a well to do family ranges from 500
to 5000, and IN special cases a much
higher sum is obtained In the villages
the lowest price Is about S25.

some oplnIons are as follows:

Some opinions are as follows:
 Dick Bros & Co.,: "The market has fallen into rut and it may stay there unti some new influence appears to create activity. The most unfavorable feature of the present situation Is the damage done to grain in many sections. Apart from this there seems to be no- thing to encourage bearish operations.s
 Bail & whicher: "While we are bull ish on the situation, we do not look for any noteworthy change in the course of speculation until definite news is known about the crops, and as it is but natural to expect more favorable weather. We think that the next infor- nation on this point will favor the crop conditions"
 John F Harris, of Harris, Winthrop & Co.,: Markets, like individuals, grow weary, and then need and take rest The period of rest is in proportion to It's exertions. As the market was ex> tremely active for a long while, we may conclude that the present restful period will be lengthy. The winter wheat outlook is not altogether satis- factory"
 Henry Paret, of J. R. Williston x | Co.,: "The recent severe decline in prices, has resulted in our opinion, in the shifting of stocks from weak to strong hands, and good stocks are a purchase.
 Albert Stieglitz, of Halle & stiegltz | "Stocks undoubtedly are intrinscally cheap at the present level feel bull I ish on the situation
 A. O. Brown, of A. 0. Brown & Co.,. ''But, on the whole, general conditions seem to favor an improvement in prices l although It may be some time before a big advance can be maintained"
 Carpenter, Baggot & Co. "Either for 6 long pull or for trading purposes the long side of the market offers at least the security that prices cannot be much lower under present conditions, How long prices are to wabble about at this level remain to be seen.
 Grann!s & Lawrence: Tt IS only Wall Street that is complaining of dull ness. The west and south are growing wonderfully in population and produc- tion."
 J. s. Bache & Co.,: "There is no ! sign that money is not to be made in 1 stocks, both by the speculator and al- so Especially by the investor"
 Prince & Whitely: "The undertone is rather in favor of improvement still financial institutions, probably aware of still further corporate demand on capital to be made before long, do not in their advices encourage speculative commitments, fearing scarcity of mon I ey for that purpose during the sum- mer. For the time being the market is traders one"

 Opinions.
 The stock market is dull and spirit less and waiting for something to turn up. There is nothing to indicate any further liquidation of importance and the policy of the "big men" seems to be to keep things quiet for the pres ent. Another stupid week on the mar ket is expected this week.

prevent the city authorities firing
the company out of town because
the Telephone company will not pur-
chase a franchise emitting them to

for him to pass on is the claim of the
city that the federal tribunal has no
authority to try the litigator, but
that it belongs to the state courts.
In nearly every city in Kentucky
and Tennessee where the East Ten
