one of the slogans OF the new secre-

Rapid industrial progress has cost

the century mark. that now looks SO
easy to them, their error VIII be
buried with them.
For more thousands OF years than
can be accurately computed men have
made ii their chief concern TO live

few, In modern times, at least. have
succeeded in passing 100 years. So
the secret cannot be as simple as It Is
made to seem.
Among the Negro races" says the
London specialist who has laid down
the list Of rules, "centenarians are ex-
tremely numerous, and It Is merely
because they unconsciously follow
these rules. They sleep so much, for
instance. that a Negro centenarian
only spends fifty or sixty years out OF
his 100 awake. while white man
would be awake for seventy-fve years
Of the time"
But the specialist fails to give any
rules by which white man may
change himself into a Negro. Nor is
there any argument given TO combat
the natural feeling that one might as

A London specialist. who declares
there are more centenartans IN the
world than the general public sus'
poets. and that there ought TO be q
good many more than there are. lays
down the following simple rules for
long living:
"Be moderate.
do not worry.
"Take plenty Of sleep.
"Take plenty OF exercise.
Eat plenty Of sugar. rice, peas,
fruit, potatoes. bread and milk
Eat sparingly OF fish and meat"

healthy constitution could live to be q

The State Supreme court OF Appeals

Richmond The action was brought
in the lowec- court by Thomas &-C Cross
local contractors, to recover the sum
of s450.54 from Brown, which was al
legged to be the balance due in the set
dement, for the construction OF
garage and twelve houses built for the
defendant. The Hastings court found
for the defendant, the plaintin de-
murring TO the evidence, which de-
murrer the court sustained, and the
defendant excepting. The question on
which the case is carried 70 the higher
tribunal Is the action OF the court In
sustaining said demurrer.
Refused TO Pay Balance.
The point upon which the legal
action was instituted was based upon
the claim that Brown owed the con-
tractors a balance of s6,45o54 on the
houses built for him and that he after
being pressed for settlement he told
Thomas e. Cross they must knock of
the s450.b4 from the account and &C
cept an even Sc. 600 or sue him. Being
in need Of money the contractors ac-
copied the $4,000 and brought suit 70
