Signs of Long Life.

Every person. according to a
medical writer, bears physical in
dications of his prospects of a
long or short life. 1.-The primary
conditions of longevity are that
the heart, lungs and digestive
organs. as well as the brain, should
be large. If these orsans-nre
large the trunk will be long and
the limbs comparatively short.
The person will appear tall IN. sit
ting and short in standing. The
hand will have a long and some
what heavy palm and short fingers.
The blue or brown hazel eye. as
showing an intermissian of tenn
permanent, is a favorable indica-
ton. The nostrils. if large, open
and free, Indicate large lungs. A
pinched and half-closed nostril
indicates small or weak lungs"

M;r,h az : Murderer.

With the help of a little tool, not ura-
like tin opener, our burglar cut two
long slits-one perpendicular. the 9TH
er horizontal-in the iron shop shutter.
Then he wrenched the flap toward
him, bending it with his powerful
hands as one twists open the lid OF a
sardine tin. Another minute and ne
was inside.
Quietly and methodically he thrust
precious stones and rings into his lit
tie bag, choosing those which besides
being small were of great value. The
bag was all but full when the jeweler
himself appeared at the back of the
shop. He carried candle in one hand
and revolver in the other.
The burglar bowed very politely and
said:
II did not care to pass by an old
friends house without stopping to bid
him good day"
The unsuspecting jeweler allowed
himself to be shaken by the hand,
when, with a sudden thrust, the bur-
glar stabbed him to the heart.
The. bag was rapidly filled to almost
bursting point. and before leaving the
premises the burglar wrote a few
words on sheet of paper. which he
pasted on the outside Of the shop:

The Way Il 10 Sold, Pure and Sweet,
In Cambridge, England.
In Cambridge, England. butter is
sold by the yard. For generations 1t
has been the practice of Cambridge
shire dairy folk to roll their butter into
lengths. each length measuring a yard
and weighing a pound. Deity wrap
ped In strips Of clean white cloth, the
cylindrical rolls are packed In long,
narrow baskets made for the purpose
and thus conveyed to market. The
butter women who. in white linen
aprons and sleeves, preside over the
stalls In the market have no need Of
weights or scales for dispensing their
wares. Constant practice and ex-
Derenced eyes enable them with a
stroke OF the knife to divide a yard
Of butter into halves or quarters with
almost mathematical exactness.
The university people are the chief
buyers Of this curiosity shaped prod

Its purity and sweetness Cambridge

MODERN SURGERY.
lie Minute and Elaborate System Of
Sterilization.

lts Minute and Elaborate System of
Sterilization.
The scene at an operating table in
one of our hospitals now would make
one of the old masters of surgery stare
The operator himself and all his staff
are dressed like the old holy priests of
Solomon's temple, wearing white caps
and gowns, with the nurses standing
around like priestesses all in spotless
white, while every one about the table
has gone through as many additions as
BELTS the occasion. of bloody sacrifice
under the auspices of the immaculate
goddess of cleanliness. A minute and
elaborate ritual has been observed Of
sterilizing everything-towels. threads,
needles, forceps, instruments and what
not-while the floor itself is made Of
glass or glazed tiles rather than of
wood. The surgeon himself does not
venture to cut the victim till he has
put on his sterilized gloves, because
he cannot possibly clean his fingers
enough. Should any onlooker take his
hand out of his pocket to reach for
the gaping wound he would be elected
instanter for spelling the whole per-
Torrance with his defling touch.
The results of this vigilant war
against microbes are simply marvellous
and can be fully appreciated only by
those who, like myself, can remember
the surgery Of former days in hospital
wards and on the battlefield. Every

FEAR IN BATTLE.
Frederick the Great Ran Away, and
Grant Was Afraid.

Frederick the Great Ran Away, aud
Grant Was Afraid.
Some Of the greatest soldiers whose
names adorn history's pages entered
their first battles with a feeling Of fear
In their hearts.
Frederick the Great simply lost his
head at the battle Of Molwitz. Had
he not been a king it is safe to say
that he would have been shot at the
next sunrise. In the heat OF the car
mage he got IN idea that the army I'M
der his command was being over
whelmed, SO he put the spurs to his
horse and dashed headlong among his
soldiers. lie rode many miles before
he stopped in his wild fight. Late az
night he was discovered hiding in an
old mill, awaiting, as he thought cap
ture by the enemy. Then he discover
ed that the army he deserted had won
the battle.
AS Frederick was prince, every
body tried to forget the incident just
rs quickly as possible. And after that
when the king went to war he was
just as brave as any other soldier.
General Grant in his memoirs tells
us that despite the fact that he was
not new to the ways Of war. he had j
strange fear In his heart when as com
mander Of the Union forces he found
himself on the eve Of his first battle
Of the civil war. He adds, however,
that he came to end that .'.the other
fellow had q similar feeling. 7 .s'',s
