through the middle ages, up to the
gates of the present century, have
nearly all been slain.
Three decades ago a man was old
at fifty, a woman faded at forty.
But there has been a marvellous
change; preservation of health and
consequent yOuthfulness has be-
come an art. Length of years has
lost its characteristics its
terrors. Middle-ageI people appear
youthful; the aged look to be in the
prime of life Grandmothers are
thought to be blooming matrons,
matrons young girls, and most men
who i've sane and temperate lives
do no. begin TO grow old before
the seliptural three-score and ten.
But longevity is not obtainable by
"a CagliostrO's magic or a Brown
Sequard elixir-it is won by getting
in line with nature

is becoming more and more in tune
with the eternal harmonies of the
universe.

OF OSTRICH
WAS FATAL TO MARY

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. SET was
unfortunate for ffteen-year-oId Mary
Eckart that she loved good things 60
well, and that she could not restrain
her appetite.
Mary lied yesterday at s411 North
Twentieth street. where she was EN-
ployed as domestic, after an Illness
Of four days. Her physicians were in
doubt as TO the exact cause of death
until CoroDer's detectives investigated
Then they found that Mary last Thurs
day ate a little more between meals
than she usually did. This is what
she ate.
Two large bowls of gelatine. one
doZ bananas, six oranges, one hound
of molasses candy. and one sound
Of sweet cakes
These various articles all followed
upon an unusually hearty dinner. SHE
was taken sick the following day and
never rallied.
Mary had eleven brothers and sisters
who live with their parents a : 250I West
moreland street.
Her appetite was ALWAYS her great
trouble said her father to Detective
Paul yesterday, she had an unusual
appetite, and sometimes would eat as
much as the eleven other children to-
getheF. I told her a number of times
TO eat less, but she did not seem to
do so.''

Saving Porto RicanS.

We venture to say that the Porto
Ricans are rather glad that the
United States 'Iynched" Spain in
1898. Not long after American rule
on that promising little island be-
came a matter of fact it was dis
covered that nine-tenths of the
peasants We're suffering from
anaemia. The disease was so preva-
lent, so characteristic a feature of
native life. that it came to be known
as Porto Rican anaemia.
Without stopping to discuss tariff
or citizenship-subjects that can
wait-the American authorities be
gan to plan a campaign against the
plague. Some idea of the effective
ness of the work that has been done
MAJ be gained from. the recently
published report of the Porto Rico
Anaemia Commission. During the
last year, on an appropriation
of only $4,000, the commission
operated thirty-five sta ions and
treated S9,233 cases. It cured nearly
10000; it improved about 1900
more to such an extent that they
felt strong enough to take care of
themselves; it lost less than 200. At
an expense of S4S,OO0-S2, 900 less
than the sum appropriated it
transformed thousands Of weak
lings into sturdy, independent la
bOTers.
The critics Of Governor Post are
eloquent, but we presume to say
that the Americanization of Porto
Rico is going On successfully never
theless.
