NEALTH ana LONG LIFE.

-All men think all men mortal but
themselves" yet all men are con.
stantly seeking the sources of health
and means of prolonging their lives.
and nothing interests the average
man more than to read the statements
of persons who have attained great
ages, and their version OF the means
which enabled them to prolong their
lives. We have many of these.
Moltke, when asked in his nlnetieth
year how he had maintained his
health and activity, answered: by
great moderation in all things, and bT
regular outdoor exercise" Crispi said
that regularity and abstinence are
the secrets of long life Sydney
Cooper also believed in regularity Lo
gouve attributed his long life to regu-
lar exercise, says the Washington
Herald. An American nonagenarian,
Hon. Neal Dow, of Maine, laid stress
on the careful avoidance of fretting
or disturbance of the digestive or.
gans, and of exposure to sudden or
protracted cold. with insufficient pro.
lection against its influence Cor.
naro's rule was extreme temperance
in eating and moderation in drinking.
He took everything that agreed with
him and avoided everything which
did not. Many others could be named,
but the constitutions and organism of
men are as varied as their faces.
hence no general rule can be laid
down. What is meat to one may be
poison to another.

Central Station, which tore at the
the entire rock backbone of Manhat-
tan Monday morning, caused the
death of IL persons, two % them
women, the injury of 1875 others and
property damage estimated at from
$2,00O,0O0 to $3,000,000.
Four persons still missing are be-
lieved to be dead. OF the 1875 injur-
ed 106 were removed to hospitals,
and of these may die.
Fire broke out in the shattered
ruins of the power house again at
night, but with a great corps of
police, searchers and firemen on the
scene the blaze made little headway
/ before 1t was checked.
1t was weird scene in and about
the station as the night wore on.
No additional bodies were found, but
in a hospital Guthier Johnston, an
electrician, succumbed to terrible in
juries received in the explosion,
bringing the death list up to IL.
An investigation by the police, the
District Attorneys Office and the
coroner's Office is under way.
Traffic on the New York Central
railroad ceased entirely for some
hours and was disorganized for the
remainder of the day, but the new
station itself, now in process of con-
struction, was not damaged.

that dynamite alone could have
wrought such instantaneous and pull

this is how the accident occurred:
A train load of empty passenger
cars, hauled by an electric motor in
charge of Albert Seagroatt got be-

into a steel and concrete buffer post,
snapped the post off and rammed a

before lit up the sky, the scene was
left in darkness and the electric
light wires were cut by the flying
debris. For several minutes hun
dreds stood motionless, overcome by
the spectacle, and then, as the flames
again leaped up, the cries of the i'm

Hospital ambulances and patrol

were called into play, and the work
of rescue begun and scores who were

Baxter had met instant death, but
soon afterward the Chief, bleeding
from a dozen wounds, was seen
