He Made Acquaintance of Man
Whom Later He Put in
White House.

About two years before his death,
which occurred In 1882 Thurlow
Weed was chatting with a group of
friends, narrating 9ome of his earlier
experiences as great politician or. as
many called him, the Warwick" of
Wing days
He was reminded that, although he
failed to nominate for the presidency
the man upon whom that purpose had
been conferred for at least ten years,
William H. Seward, yet he might new
ertheless be content, since he had al
most exclusively led the Wing party
to nominate a candidate for president
and another for vice-president. both
of whom became presidents.
Il have been given more credit for
suggesting that Zachary Taylor be
nominated for president by the Wings
In 184S than | really deserve" Mr..
Weed said. 'It is true that l was the
first Wing leader to suggest General
Taylor's name. But the sentiment
among the leaders of the Wing party
had been steadily centering upon Gen
eral Taylor as the most available can
didate. 1t is more accurate to say
that I was almost exclusively the in
huence by which Willard Fillmore was
nominated for vice-president on the
ticket with General Taylor, because l
suggested Filmore's name to the con-
veption

Weed went on to say about my Erst
meeting with Willard Fillmore. Often

times when the estrangement between
Mr.. Fillmore and myself, which last
ed nearly 20 years, from 1853 until
about 1873, separated us completely.
And after we were reconciled l spoke
to the ex-presiden& about that first
meeting and he told me that he. too.
recalled it wildly.
''It was about the year 1924, per

and your man will live SO years
longer.
Now here we have the test and turn.
ing point of Metchnikoff's claim: If 120
years be the average of the healthy
mans life-bacterial poisons apart
some lives would be longer and some
shorter than the average, according
to the inherited potential of the indi-
vidual; and the indiscriminate mixing
of these potentials would leave the
race in relatively the same condition.
with reference to longevity, in which
it now is. Some few men with low in
herited potential would die of old age
at 90; some would live to be two cen
turtles old; and the average life of man
would hover around 120 years.
But there are some who go farther
than Metchnikoff and urge that the
science of the chemistry of life can ad-
vance no good reason why life should
not be prolonged for indefinite ages,
with the body in a state of buoyant
youth and health-if once the work
going on in the nucleus of the cell
Maupas, the French biologist, re
juvenated" a dying race of microscopic
animals whose bodies consisted of a
single cell. Now the human body is
merely great cosmos of cells held to-
gether, probably, by ties too elusive
for the microscope or for experimental
demonstration. They can scarcely be
regarded as independent individuals,
but they are true cells, none the less.
When a man dies and decays, we be-
hold the slow death Of a universe of
cells-infinite if measured from the
standpoint of the infinitely little cells
| composing it.
If this universe of cells-this great
| family of cell-races-could be rejuve-
mated, as Maupas rejuvenated his Par
amoecia, who can say that it would not
/ continue in life vortually without end
Refreshen the nucleus-that micros-
copic organ whose activities determine
| inheritance, length of life, health and
the rest of it-and maintain it refresh
ened, and man may live forever!
The Frenchman Leduc has recently
published the most fascinating results
of his work with artificial cells which
| behave startlingly like the living cell

the complex compounds that form the
framework of the living molecule.
Natural sugar-splitting ferments have

sugars that have no existence-so far
as is known-in nature, but which
have been artifcially made by synthe-
sis. The drug fiend can swallow with
impunity enough morphine to kill 100
men. Christian Science can, and does,
through the central nervous system,
produce il the body results wholly in
applicable by known facts of physiol-
ogy.
Why should not some of the re-
searchers now busy with the activities
of the nucleus hit upon a method
and they are trying-not only of re-
| juvenating the nucleus, or the potent
stuff contained within 1t, but of keep
ing it young?
Insane dreams sometimes come true,
and sometimes the brass of yesterday

Roger Pryor's Promise That if Fort
Sumter Were Fired On, Virginia
Would Secede Within "a Hours
by Shrewsbury Clock.

So far as is known there remains
but one survivor of all those who
ut four o'clock in the morning OF the
18th of April, 1861, witnessed the
first shot from the Confederate bat
teries in Charleston harbor against
Fort Sumter. He is ex-Judge Roger A
Pryor OF New York city.
No one now seeing Judge Pryor or
brought into personal contact with
him would dream that in his early
thirties he was sometimes esteemed
the most fiery and vehement of all
that brilliant and great company of
the south, which, in all sincerity and
with utmost enthusiasm, gave its aid
to the proposed establishment of a
new nation south of the Potomac and
the Ohio. Today Judge Pryor is one of
the gentlest, kindliest of men, having
also gained an enviable reputation dur
ing his long service as justice upon
the bench of the supreme court OF
New York state. He is delightful IN
some of his personal "reminiscences,
but the more active and exciting Incl
dents of the early days of the Civil
War he does not care to speak about,
apparently believing that it is better
that history tell that story.
1t is a historic fact that Roger A.
Pryor, who had been elected to con-
gress from the Alexandria (Va.) dis
tr.ct when only little past the con-
stitutional age limit, was sent by lead
ing men of Virginia, who were advo-
eating secession, to Charleston, with
q message from Virginia to the people
Of Charleston. The traditional re-
mark said to have been made by
Judge Pryor after he arrived at
Charleston had never been affirmed or
denied by him. He was widely quoted,
however, as having said to the civil
and military leaders of Charleston:
Il bear this message from Virginia
to you: If you fire upon Fort Sumter.
TO compel the federal garrison there
to surrender, then l promise you that
Virginia will secede "a hours after by
he Shrewsbury clock"

John Thompson's Story of How He
and {. G. Spaulding Devised
National Bank System and
the Greenback.

within a month after the volun-
teers of the spring of 1861 were on
their way to the front, or had arrived
there, quite as important war meas
ure as that of securing an army for
the Union was under discussion at
Washington and at the chief financial
centers of the North" said the late
John Thompson to me shortly before
the second Inauguration of Grover
Cleveland as president.
Mr.. Thompson, prior to the civil
war, was known to every banker in
the United States, not so much be-
cause he was himself a banker of New
York City, but because he published
every week an invaluable guide to
American bankers, since it reported
all cases of counterfeits OF state bank
notes, of failures of state banks, and
Of the rate of exchange charged by
the banks for collecting the notes OF
state banks.

Remark That Puzzled a City

The shot was fired, and have al
ways understood that Mr. Pryor was
offered the honor Of pulling the Ian
yard of the cannon, and that be de-
clined it, saying that the honor was
due to a South Carolinian.
Twenty-four hours after, however,
Virginia did not secede, either by the
Shrewsbury clock, or any other. AT
last many persons in CharlestGa,
where the remark had speedily be-
come current gossip, asked what Mr.
Pryor meant by saying that Virginia
would secede within "a hours by the
Shrewsbury clock. They were IA
miliar with Connecticut clocks, for
many Of them were sold in that state.
They knew in vague sort of way
that Shrewsbury was somewhere In
the north But they could not under
stand what the reference meant
Finally it was decided to put the
question to some of the leading pol1ti-
clans. and my recollection, is that
Wade Hampton was one of those who
were thus approached. And it was
either Hampton, or another equally re-
spected who made this simple re-
ply: "You will find the answer in
Shakespeare
Immediately, almost every one who
had a copy of Shakespeare began to
search the plays, until at last the
meaning of the Shrewsbury clock, as
applied to accurate time, was dis
covered in a line in King Henry w."
At the battle of Shrewsbury Prince
Henry of Wales kills Hotspur. Fal-
staff. fighting with friends of Hot
spur. drops as if dead, and he and the
body of Hotspur are left alone on
the field. Then Falstaf, thinking that
Hotspur may also be counterfeiung
death. stabs him and starts off with
the body. when the prince again comes
on the field. Falstaff boasts that he
killed Hotspur; the prince replied that
he himself killed Hotspur and saw
Falstaff fall dead
Falstaff-'sDidst thou? Lord, Lord
how this world is given to lying! l
grant you l was down and out of
breath: and so was he; but We rose
both at an instant, and fought long

er on starchy foods, such as potatoes.
are often afflicted by what Is known
by the rather inelegant term of "po
tato belly'-technically dilatation OF
the stomach.
Now the stomach has precisely the
need of something solid" in the way
OF meat upon which to ''set it's grip"
as it we're. And this something solid
is that very unchewed chunk of meat"
which Rover will watch for with a
keen and eagerly anticipating eye, and
let slip untouched down his esopha-
gus the moment it is dropped into his
mouth.
| have never undertaken to feed my
self for any length of time with fine
ly powdered meat on the theory of
saving my stomach its work" II
there is any one thing the stomach
needs, 1t is work. And feeding it with
ground meat, or too well chewed meat,
or meat that is chewed more than suf
ficient to make 1t swallowable, unques-
toinably deprives the stomach of the
work that it and its ancestral stom-
achs have been accustomed for ages
to do
Nature, in the machinery of diges-
ton, has given us capital hint as to
how our food, animal and plant, should
be ingested. The mouth is provided
with juices that digest only starchy
foods; and the stomach Is provided
with juices that digest only animal
food, with the possible exception Of
fat. This fatless animal food (called
proteids by chemists) is attacked by
the juice of the stomach, say rather
by certain substances in the gastric
juice (called ferments), principally
pepsin, and is made ready to be still
further acted upon by the juice of the
pancreas, when it is turned over by
the stomach to the small intestine.
The pancreas, in fact, and not the
stomach, is the main organ of diges-
NAL food of every kind, including fat;
and likewise all the starchy foods
which have been only partly digested
in the mouth. The Germans signifi
cantly call the pancreas the ''abdOm-
nal salivary gland" Theoretically we
would dc quite well without either
stomach or mouth. The famous Ger
man psychologist, Ludwig, reported
that two of his dogs lived for several
years in above-normal health with no
stomachs at all.
The moral Of all this would seem to
be: Chew well your starchy foods, if
your hobby inclines you to that prac-
tice, and you have the necessary time
to spare, but bolt your meat like
Rover.
