some men being of an amiable, cheer
ful and lively temperament suppress
these marks until well advanced in
life and are % years younger both
phvsically and mentally, than other
mon of the same age. We may take it,
therefore. that old age does not begin
al ans fixed period so far as the di-
visions of time divide the periods OF
ifo but is influenced by that subtle
agent known as vital energy. The
indications Of old age are closely
shown. the weight of years is mani,
fested by the bent figure, the want OF
elasticity in the walk, the wrinkles in
tbo checks and forehead. The typical
healthy person who attains old age is
snare of body. md old age emphasizes
this fact BY causing paucity OF adj
misc fisspe. We note that a dininution
of fine pbystcaI energy is accompanied
by a corresponding diminution of the

Curiosities in legislation are by no

earlier than at present, and so gain an
extra hour of daylight for recreation.

eight inches. 1t weighs go pounds

of this size, it is believed, has ever

Any person may SEND any pipical Quee~

city, and receive answer in The Star.
1873. Is not eternal punishment of the
wicked as taught by the orthodox church
repugnant to reason? Should not some
new explanation be given to the Scrip
ture used to support the doctrine?
Answer Whose reason? How is II
taught? Every man makes a distinction
between good and evil approving one
and condemning the other. II this dis
tinction and judgment were removed hu-
man nature would fall to decay and
every institution-domestic. civil and re-
ligious-Hould perish. If God were to
ignore this distinction He would forfeit
the reverence of men. Moreover. the
distinction is eternal. He who is evil
merits punishment as long as he is evil.
Will a man beyond the grave cease to
be evil and hence cease to deserve the
penalty? An assumption of that sort is
wholly unwarranted. destitute OF any
practical value. There Is no support for
1t In Scripture or in reason. He who
clings to the evil and rejects the good.
despite all the efforts to change him. and
makes the awful leap OF death into eter-
nifty. is most likely to remain forever in
that condition. There is observed in this
life strong tendency to hxedness of
character. BY forty men are what they
ever will be. Hence, the doctrine in
question is not repugnant to reason.
