THE SECRET OF OLD AGE.

A novel method of attaining long
evity was practiced by Mrs. Yetta
Schulman, who died recently in New
Fork at the advanced age OF los
years. Mrs. Schulman paid no par
ticular attention to points Of diet, ex-
ercise, sleep, ETC., which usually fig
ure largely in rules laid down for
those growing old. She believed that
the lives of aged persons could be
prolonged if they. associated constant
~, or nearly so, with young people.
and she apparently, verified her the
DRY, for she spent the greater part of
her time in company with children,
even taking part in their sports with
lively interest. -Leslie's Weekly.

SCHOOLMA'AMS WANT MUCH.
Women school teachers in Missouri
promise to be thorns in the side Of
the Legislature. If exhaustive de-
bate were permitted on all the re-
forms advanced by the teachers, the
grumhling men assert, there would
lbe no time for legislation on other
affairs. Evidently the Missouri
teachers have nothing to learn from
their sisters in the profession in this
city, who in their protracted fight for
equal pay have shown a determin-
alton and tenacity seldom developed
by mere man. These are a few Of
the demands which the women
teachers have presented to the Mis-
souri, legislators: A minimum SAL
airy of $3.50 year, pension fund
for disabled teachers, Consolidation
of rural schools, closing of schools
when attendance is less than six pu-
pills, special schools for defective chill
dren, medical inspection of schools,
tax of one-tenth of one per cent. on
corporations, extension of inheritance
tax, county supervision of schools,
compulsory attendance in schools and
provision for destitute school chill
dren. In addition to all these, the
teachers ask that State board pass
