LEFT RECIPE FOR LONG LIFE.

Among the many philosophers who
have given to the world secrets by
which human life might be prolonged
was Arnold de Villeneuve, noted
physician of Paris, who was connected
with the university of that city.
After gaining fame in France he
went to Italy, where he passed twenty
important years of his life, and where
he devoted himself to the study of
astrologS and alchemy.
According to the stories of his day,
he made vast quantities of gold out OF
lead and copper, and just escaped be-
ing arrested and put to death as a
sorcerer. His fame as a physician
gave Importance to all that VilleneuVe
did and said, but when he predicted
the end of the world upon a certain
date, and nothing happened, there was
somewhat of a change in his popu-
larity-
His recipes for prolonging life were
most curious, and one has been pre-
served and is as follows:
1.-The person wishing to keep alive
for 500 or 400 years must thoroughly
rub his body three times week with
the juice of cassia. When he retireS
to bed each night he must put over
his heart a plaster made of saffron,
red rose leaves, sandalwood, aloes and
amber. Upon this mixture there must
be poured some oil of roses and melted
wax the whole then spread as a
plaster. In the morning this must all
be carefully removed, put in a box of
lead, and kept for use the next night.
THE food of the man must be look
ed after in this wise: If he has a
temperament that leads him to look
O the bright side of things, he must
keep 16 chickens in a yard where
there is absolutely pure air and good
water, and is to eat one each day. If

he has a rather dull and matter of
fact temperament, he must keep %
chickens in. his yard; if he is of mel
ancholy cast of mind and looks on the
dark side of life, the number of birds
must be exactly 80, but in any event
one a day must be eaten.
THE chickens are so treated that
their flesh gains the qualities that will
prolong the life of him who eats them.
They are to be kept without food till
in a furnishing condition, and then fed
upon broth that is to be made of SER
penis cooked in vinegar and thickened
with bran. For two months they eat
this, and are then fit for the table.
The drink allowed in this diet is
either white wine or a simple claret.
by following this rule strictly for
two months after the passing of every
seven years. a man may become the
rival of Methuselah himself. Chi

Chicago Inter-Ocean: In the police
court of Gary, Ind, there sat We'd

emily was a foreigner.
Charley" said Judge WiIdermuth
to Prosecutor Greenwald, "I have had
two or three fellows talk in Hungar-
ian and Polish to that prisoner there
and he can't understand them. You
know a lot of languages. Go over and
see if o al find out what language
he talks"
DO ra vetchs," said Greenwald In
Servian. The man shook his head.
"Parle-vous Franchise? ?" continued
the prosecutor rafting off the French.
Another shake of the head.
"Jin debra," this time in Polish.
Still no answer.
"O-hio," this time in Japanese. An
other shake of the head.
Magyar and still no answer.

prosecutor in ure Teheran Persian,
but only "a shake of the head.
Il can't talk to this fellow, judge
said Greenwald. He must be a
Malay or a Siamese. Call 1. Leon
Gould over. He knows a few
Gould addressed the man:
"Shoval- malachim!" shrieked Gould
in Broadway Yiddish.
He doesn't go up by the syna-
gogue, that's one sure thing said
Gould.
Then the fellow frightened up.

you fellows? Me name is Patrick

In Case Of Earacha..

Do not pour hot oil into the ear to
relieve pain, says a physician. Heat
can be applied much better in a hot
mixture Of glycerin, alcohol and water,
which will not turn rancid or clog UP
the ear, and can be removed by syring-
ing with water.
Al towel or large pad Of u wrung
out in boiling water and closely APP
piled over the ear, covered with oil
silk or protective rubber tissue, is bet
ter thansa hot-water bag. This is be-
cause more or less steam from the
moist cloth enters the ear and softens
the tissues which are Unnamed.
Al still better and almost infallibIe
to relieve pain in the ear Is to I'M
vert a funnel over q bowl OF boiling
hot water and let the steam from the
small end OF the funnel pass into the
a as hot as 1T can be borne.
