HOW TO LIVE LONG.

A Paris contemporary has Been in
structing its readers how to live to
good age, drawing its conclusions
from the lives and writings of dis
tinguished men.
Michael Eugene Chevreul, the cele-
brated French chemist, who lived
one hundred and three years, was
always very frugal in regard to his
diet and considered happy dispo-
sltion to be an important factor con-
tr1buting to his long life.
- Victor Hugo had a tablet on the
wall of his house with the following:
Rising at six, dining at ten, supping
at six, retiring at ten make the life
of man. ten times ten The secret
of Moltke's health lay in his great
moderation In all. things.
Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson de-
clared that those who wished to reach
century must neither smoke nor
drink, eat sparingly Of meat, work
as little as possible by artificial light,
trouble themselves little about max
ing a fortune and never allow ambi-
ton to rule their lives.

PRETTY GIRLS MARRY
THE UGLY MEN BECAUSE

Did you ever ponder over the prob
lem of why pretty girls marry plain
men?
One woman has thought the mat
!ects plain or even ugly mate is
wise, London Tit-Bits says.
The wise girl, she asserts, is per-
fcctly aware that the ugly man will
make far better husband than the
Adonis who Is adored by every femi-
nine beholder of his charms. The
ugly man is so frequently accustomed
10 being ignored or sighted by the
empty-headed but good-looking wom-
an that the sensible girl who is able
to see below the surface at once finds
a faithful admirer and grateful slave.
Compliments from the plain man
are of far more value than the easy
fattery of the much-sought-after
handsome male, who is seldom so sin
cere through reason of opportunity
and adequate practice. And not be-
ing so run after,' the man lacking
in outward charms is less likely to
cause his wife jealous pangs or feel
ings of loneliness at the sight of an
empty chair and a torn dress tie.
Ugly men who marry pretty wom-
en- are always far prouder of their
wives than the romantic Romeo of
girlish dreams. The former feel
grateful to the beautiful wife, while
the latter imagine that the debt of
honor Is on the woman they have
condescended to we'd. All women are
naturally attracted to good looks, and
the man who is fair to look upon is
more tempted to pose as a bachelor
if the chance of a summer Irritation
arises than his brother of homely
physical destinations.
The girl who marries an ugly man
can be certain that her love is not a
mere fancy of the moment rising out
of her admiration for a Well-cut nose
and chiseled mouth. The love a girl
bestoWs on an ugly man is deeper
more lasting and more worthy Of the
name than thesquickly given and
easy spent affection of the woman
who ignores the faults of the hand
some lover and considers only the
shapeliness Of his hands, the color OF
his hair, and the lovely voice." as
he MARBLES soul-stirring sentimental
compositions.
Plain men generally marry early in
life, as soon as funds will permit
while the good-looking males prefer
to enjoy the fun little longer, and
to bask in the admiring glances and
pleased smiles of the maidens upon
whom they bestow their patronage.
