VARIOUS RULES FOR LONGEVITY.
Prominent Frenchmen Have New

Galipaux, the French actor, laughs
at the old precept of "early to bed
and early to RISE" How can a man
do these things II he is an actor? And
as to the advice to avoid disagreeaple
emotions, you 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 a certain regularity of life.
He has his table set for dinner at
seven o'clock. Even il he is not in
the house the dinner is served as
usual. He often finds the knowledg.
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. Gallifct, Who even as far back as
the early sixties received fearful
wounds, from which it seemed hope
less to suppose that he would recover,

COULD NOT BE DlsHEARreNEn.
One Mans Philosophy Rose Superior

Browns cheerfulness was q source Of
wonder and admiration to his friends.
Either his religion or his philosophy
taught him to accept everything as d
wise dispensation. But then he had q
large share of worldly goods, his
friends argued, and nothing but adyer-
sity would shake his faith.
Therefore, when a promising crop

him say: Its all for the best. 1 was

mouse never suited us anyway, So it

Other calamities befell Brown, but
still he refused to be disheartened.
The climax came when he was in a
railroad accident. Both feet were so
badly crushed that amputation was
necessary.
sympathetic friends gathered rom
all quarters. They dreaded to hear
the lamentations they were sure would
greet them, for even Brown could
hardly be expected to pass this lightly
by.

A typical peasant farmer, man

and customs g; On one occasion a
young farmer, new to the district
who had taken a small holding not
far from that OF the old man, per-
ceived a shabby figure leaning against
the gate on the edge Of his property.
and said: Hi, old man! Do you want
some work?"
The wearer Of the shabby sheep
skin took his long pipe out of his
mouth and nodded gravely.
well, you come along tomorrow
and look after some of my sheep.
Bring any of your bits of things or
animals with you; there's plenty of
room on my farm"
The next day, as the young farmer
walked across his fields, he saw a
cloud of dust coming up the road.
Presently there emerged from it a
herd of COWS, horses and sheep-hun-
dreds of animals with their driver.
The cavalcade swept past the aston
lshed man. Behind it came a huge
wagon, creaking and groaning, laden
with heavy furniture, in the front of
which sat his shabby acquaintance of
the day before.
You told me to bring my animals
and bits Of things" said the old man.
