TO REMAIN YOUNG.

Everyone wishes ! to be young. es.
pecially those who. feel themselves
growing old. Hence the beauty doc:
tors. But, somehow, those who are
most willing to disclose the secret
of youth for a small sum, seldom take
advantage of their own knowledge to
remain young.
Sarah Bernhard is not a beauty
doctor, but she is an example Of the
theory that youth is not q matter of
years. Some are old at twenty, but
Sarah Bernhardt at sixty seems per-
manently young. For the benefit Of
those cropping in the dark for the
secret of youth, she has offered ten
Commandments"
She does not advise her followers
to walk twenty miles each day and
to live on rare beefsteak, in order to
preserve that willowy appearance of
youth. Eat what you like when you
like, but not as much as you like. "
says Divine Sarah" And this leads
up to an interesting feature Of her
ten commandments; only four of
them refer to the physical person,
and all of these are simple. In ad-
dition to the one about eating, she
says:
Z Drink much water and lemonade.
Sleep whenever. wherever. you are
sleepy.
Stop to rest for a minute, many
times a day. These little rests pro-
long life.
Evidently Sarah Bernhard believes
that the way of accepting life is the
mest important factor in retaining
youth, as six of her commandments"
are on this subject:
Have one chief, absorbing interest
in life.
Have other interests. little inter.
ests," of life to keep you from be-
coming one-sided.
Decide what are the essentials Of
your life and concentrate upon them.
Decide what are the non-essentials
and disregard them.
Be interested in everything that
happens, for the moment, but do not
let the interest become too deep.
Find your work. then regard that
work as a pleasure. not a penalty.
Sarah Bernhardt's ten command
ments" of youth are merely the rules
Of normal living. No startling ideas
on dieting and exercise are expressed.
She merely advises us to be natural

Missouri Exchanges

Except in times of scandal or ram.
pant politics which standeth where 1t
ought not, the report Of the Board
of Visitors to a State University is
usually the most tepid, dignifed and
negligible of documents. 1t approves
the efforts of the scholarly gentle
men who etc., to maintain the stan
dards which-and the rest, indorses
the presidents administration, trusts
that the legislature will make neces-
ssry appropriations for the new power
plant or science laboratory, and begs
to remain.
In startling contrast with such neu-
trail and ladylike documents is the re-
port of Colonel ]. L. Torrey and his
assoc ,ates, which was made public a
lew days since. These visitors not
only visited and observed; they ar
rived at conclusions. And these they
have set forth in breezy English,
which will leave in the mind of the
reader no doubt about what the visi-
tors believe the policy of the state
with regard to the University should
be.
1t is not necessary to agree with
all these mmendations-that, for
instance, regarding the School Of Med
icine--to appreciate the high value Of
the document as whole and its pc
culiar blend of vision and common
sense. The visitors call attention to
the inadequate insurance protection of
buildings specially liable to destruc-
ton by fire; this should be immedi-
ately considered by the Board of Cura-
tors. They suggest the erection of
houses, for professors upon land now
belonging to the University. Consid-
ering the fact that there is no way
in which an addition to the income
of salaried worker can be so cheap
ly accomplished as by building him
a house to live in. this is also worthy
of serious consideration.
The suggestion that every news
paper published in the state should
be subscribed for by the University
and filed in fireproof building is
bottomed by sound sense. The coun-
try press is an agency of great power:
the newspapers Of the state and the
University ought to be closer togeth-
er. The fact is noted that there are
counties in Missouri unrepresented
at the University by even single
student; the suggestion that an ad-
vertising plan should be worked out
with view to acquainting the young
people Of rural Missouri with what
the University offers them almost
seems to make itself and should be
acted upon.
The report contains at least one
striking epigram: That money put
into education is not expenditure, but
investment. Closely related to this
is the suggestion that salaries, which
are lower at Columbia than at the
universities of California, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Michigan, be raised.
1T would be good everyday sense"
says the report, ito pay larger sal
aries than other institutions" So IT,
would. The effect of the contrary
practice is to maintain training
school for the production of efficient
men to be snapped u2 by institutions
with a more enlightened policy.-St.
Louis Republic.

this ii spread and the Bank of La
Grange, V. the postqtttce. tha Cation
Exchange, two mercantile stores and
a number of dwellings were destroy
ed. The town has no fire depart
ment that Is capable of fighting any
large blaze and whe the westbound
passenger train passed through en-
route TO Goldsboro the engine was
attached to a fiat car and hurried
back to kinston where the fire fight
ing apparatus of that place was Sc
cured and carried back to aght the
flames, When the kiaston fire com
pany reached the scene they found
that the flames had destroyed prac-
tiraiiy all OF the business section OF
the city and their efforts were con-
fined to saving the adjacent dwell
ings. The passenger depot located
not more than 100 feet from the
origin of the fire was uninjured. due
to the strenuous efforts of the fire
fighters. But little insurance was car
ried on any of the buildings destroy
ed and the entire loss is estimated
at about $4,000.
