VARIOUS RULES FOR LONGEVITY.
Prominent Frenchmen Have New
Ideas as to Best Methods.

GalipauX, the French actor, laughs
at the old precept of early to bed
and early to rise" How can a man
do these things If he is an actor? And
as to the advice to avoid disagreraDle
emotions, rou might as well tell a
man who has dyspepsia that the best
way is to take no notice of it. Such
is Galipaux's opinion; nevertheless he
believes in certain regularity of life.
He has his table set for dinner at
seven o'clock. Even if he is not III
the house the dinner is served as
usual. He often finds the knowledge
that the meal will be served at that
hour without fail is an inducement to
him to hurry home, when otherwise
he would not trouble himself to do So
Gen. Gallifet, who even as far back as
the early sixties received fearful
wounds, from which it seemed hope
less to suppose that he would recover,
has still the same elegant figure and
the same dashing style as in youth
His rules are absolute sobriety, never
read the papers, laugh at death, but
have q terror of fools"

The Most Noted Of the Later Day Out

Bushrangers were originally run
away conyicts who took to the blush. u
as Australians call the backwoOds,
and became holdup men. About the
year 1890 the bushrangers became SC
numerous that they fought regular en-.
gagements with posses and soldiers
sent out to capture them. and this
form Of crime continued sporadically
until within recent years. The most
famous of later rangers were the Kel-
ly brothers. After many daring crimes
and hairbreadth escapes the K0llys
actually held up the entire village of
Jerilderie, N. s. W.. which had a pop
ulation of 200. Ned Kelly looted the
bank Of $4,000. while his three pals
held the men Of the village cooped up
in their homes. Although there was a
special bushranging act in force at the
time authorizing the detention Of per-

they stuck up" the small town of
Glenrowan, in Victoria. Here they
