MAKING LIFE LONGER

Achieve Distant Ends.
 In his address as president of the
 American Association for the Advance
 ment of Science, Prof. T. c. Chamber
 lin, of the University of Chicago, ar
 gues in favor of the theory of solar evolution for which he is responsible
 and he holds that it probably fore
 shadows long history for the earth He says: But into the problem ot
 human endurance two new factors
 have entered, the power of definite moral purpose and the resources of re- search. No previous race has shown clear evidence that it was guided by moral purpose in seeking distant ends
 In man such moral purpose has risen to distinctnesS. AS it grows, beyond question it will count in the perpetuity of the race. No diSrbt it will come to
 weigh more and more as the resources of destructive pleasure, on the one hand, and of altruistic rectitude on the other are increased by human inge- nuity. It will become more critical as !. the growing multiplicity of the race . brings upon it, in increasing stress, the distinctive humanistic phases of the struggle for existence now dimly foreshadowed. It will, beyond ques- tion. be more fully realized as the survival of the fittest shall renden its verdict on what is good and what is evil in this realm of the moral world
 But to be most efficient, moral purpose needs to be combined with the high est intelligence. and herein lies the function of research None of the, ear Her races made systematic inquiry into the conditions of life and sought there by to extend their careers What can research do for the extension of the career of man2 We are witnesses of what it is beginning to do in render ing the forces of nature subservient to mans control and in giving him com mand over the naaladies of which he has long been the victim. Cam it mas ter the secrets of vital endurance, the mysteries of hsredity, and all the fundamental physiological processes that condition the longevity of the race? The answer must be left to the future but I take no risk i'm affirming that when ethics and research join hands in a broad and earnest endeavor to compass the highest development and the greatest longevity of the race the era of humanity will really have begun. n.''-POpular Science Monthly.

Flesh of Lion, Tiger, Elephant, Liz.
 ard and Adder often Eaten.
 Among the most deligious tid-bits in South Africa is lions flesh, which is in high favor among aborigines ard certain classes of Boer trekkers, says the Troy Budget The tiger is eaten i', many parts of India, not only for it's edible qualities but also because it is supposed to impart strength and cum ning Bears flesh, and especially smoked bears tongue. are most expen- sive delicacies in Germany. Though many Europeans have declared it tastes like soft leather and mucilage, the flesh of the elephant is a favorable dish in Africa and India. A baked elephants foot is a choice morsel.
 In upper Egypt and in Siam croco- dile flesh is publicly sold as food. while in Santo Domingo and parts of Central America the cayman is eaten, roasted or boiled.
 The green lizard, though Americans usually associate him with slime, is eG: thusiastically relished by many in the south of Italy and Spain But they are not in it with the Greeks, who do not relish their soup unless it has in it bits of adder. They are also very fond of the mud tortoise, and drink its blood, and cook its flesh and eggs. Of course the frog is well known in France and the continent. but it is by no means a stranger to the American palate.
 In the dessert line it is also possible to enjoy a strange assortment. Rose buds boiled in sugar and made into a preserve are eaten by Arabians, while in China candied rosebuds and jasmine flowers are equally popular The com mon yellow lily that grows in marshes and ponds is utilized by the Turks. IS the main ingredient of an agreeable conserve which tastes something like brandy. Candied violets are of course very common in France. while in Rou- mania and Bulgaria many flowers ara used for flavoring.

rsach DepIOred the Impression Mnu'
 by Her Friends Clothes.
 When Mrs. Hobbs and Mrs. Cobbetf returned to their irrespective homes a the close of stockholders day." they were both obviously satisfied with the result of the days shopping in the city One little incident had given each oi them, after her own fashion. a large measure of content
 You know I always say that Ellen Ann dresses a mite too much for trav, cling off for the day." said Mrs Hobbs to her husband, as he sat patiently lis tening to her account of small happen I-ings. Well, to-day twas borne out by what I saw in at Ransom & Klein's.
 We were both looking for dress goods for the children-she for a plaid, green and blue, for her Sophie, and for a dark red for Hattie.
 'We both wanted to see what the ones we'd half-chosen looked like by daylight. and it so happened that we started for the place where you can stand under the skylight at the same time. Being two counters apart, we hadn't kep' watch of each other, and twas just happen.
 Well, the man that was showing me the goods looked at me kind of searching, and then he handed the piece O goods over the counter to me. and he said, You can take it right over to the skylight yourself, madam,' and turned to straighten out some other goods.
 When got to the skylight, if there didn't come Ellen Ann, meek as you please, with a little cash-girl carrying her piece O goods; and that child nev- CT let go her hold of it once. and it come over me that Ellen Ann's ffashy hat and her plush bag with gilt trim mings had made 'em think she want to be trusted
 "I'm afraid they took her for one O those light-fngered folks -shOplift- CTS. I felt real sorry for her, and I hurried off sos not to shame heri"
 While Mir Hobbs was digesting this piece of news, MT. Cobbett was listen ing to his wife's version of the incl dent.
 "The clerk looked at me-" she said, and then he beckoned one of the cash girls, and said to her, real sharp, Take this to the skylight, and let the lady look at it.
 And I followed after her, empty handed, to find poor Mary Jane there, with a great piece O red stuff sile'5 lugged in her own arms from the coun- ter.
 "It just proves what I've always told you When Mary Jane goes among strangers those plain, homely clothes of hers give them the idea she's hard-working women, that's always had to do for herself, and doesn't expect to be done for by anybody.
 But there, I like Mary Jane, and always have, and I let her slink off with that piece O goods just's if hadn't really sensed who 'twas."- Youths Companion.

Court~hIp Class for Jap Girls.

Japan has killed the last doubt as to its modern progress by the organi- zation of "class of courtship'' for girls in each of the secondary schools. The Japanese maidens are taught that if they should be so unfortunate as to fall In love before becoming engaged they must conceal the fact. Above all they must remember that women never propose. Another thing, they are warned that well-bred girls do not exchange photographs with their ad- mirers. Tn Japan until now there has not been any trouble about courting. and this is the first evidence that the Japanese maidens need instruction in affairs of the heart. Classes to the contrary. however. the point is main. tained that there is not Juliet under the sun who does know the exact form ula for dealing with a Romeo.

it, to note how much nature has done, in
3 rough way, to prepare it for its destined
use. The fifteen acres, about, that will
be known as Rowells' Addition, lies in
three terraces, rising from its southern
frontage. The lower, OF about eight
acres, i the one above the Thayer brook
embankment, reaching around toward
the Branch on the right and the track on
the left. From this, some distance back,
rises a second, OF six or seven acres, very
nearly level, and with an even slope mp TO
II all around. A browning plateau, long
and rather narrow, with q lower terrace
In rear, suggests At once the thought of a
fitting summer hotel site, with sweep
ing view both up and down the valley.
The two low plateaus, when plotted, will
give several squares OF nice house lots.
1t is Mr.. Rosell's intention to bulld one,
and possibly two, houses at once on his
Addition, and other parties are neg0tiat
ing for lots.
At present, this tract is isolated, with
no roadway reaching it from the south
side As it lies across Thayer brook, and
the nearest public highway approaching
it is School street near the Hoyt crossing,
it is necessary to lay out new highway
and build a bridge over the brook to it.
Granting petition to this effect. the Sc
lectmen OF the town have ordered a high
way that will leave upper School street
starting from the lot purchased Monday
By Mr.. Romell for $500 OF Mrs. Ella Wet

run hack through this lot to the bank OF
Thayer brook. Here is quite a chasm
that will be partly flied and partly
bridged. A steel bridge Of 30 feet span,
resting on stone or concrete abutments 10
feet high, is the present plan. OF the ex-
pense Of this work, Mr.. Rowell bears all
except the erection OF the bridge and
Sbutments. which the town will DO, At an
estimated outlay OF 500. Mr.. Rowell
gives the right Of way through the Wet
more lot and does the grading and filling,
which will be quite extensive. As sur
veyed, the road will be nearly level from
School street across the bridge TO the Adj
dition, upon which the northern abut
ment will rest.
Randolph village, when one stops TO
think, is largely built upon the terrace
plan already. We have lower Central
street and Sault Hollow; upper Central
street and the Depot square section; the
Highlands and Sand Hill, on a still high
er level With Rowell's Addition peo-
pied, Randolph will, like Rome, be set
upon seven hills. Anyhow, the Good
Book tells us that such a city cannot be
hid.

Real Estate pexeIopmen..

Over year ago, Martin G. Rowell ac-
quired OF George ID. Lane tract OF about
80 acres OF land located due west Of the
village, bounded or the west by lands Of
Norman Nichols; north by the Branch ;
east by Thayer brook, and south by the
railroad track. Part Of it was, or had
been, under cultivationi part OF it had
been but lately cleared OF small timber.
Mr.. Rowell, upon looking it over, was
not long in deciding what he would
eventually do with it. The constant, and
Of late rapid, growth Of Randolph village
has absorbed nearly all OF the building
sites hat we're available for dwellings Q
few years ago, unless one goes quite a
distance out from the central part OF the
town. Mr.. Rowell determined to develop
a considerable part Of his purchase into a
building addition for the village, to be
used as the future needs should require.
He has now begun the work Of making il
accessible and attractive, and will push il
with his well-known energy and good
business judgment.
