One Woman S Plan.

The most popular woman l ever
knew always made It a point to de
vote To-day to thoughts Of others
and reserve Tomorrow for herself
Il have a sorrow" she would think
to herself but l will put off grieving
over it till tomorrow. I am not go
ing to fret about anything for myself
to-day. / will leave all that for to-
morrow when I may have more time
The tomorrow never came. Every
day was so filed with thoughts for
others that they overlooked into the
next day, and when her personal wor-
ries and troubles saw that she would
never have time to fret or worry over
them, they flew away.
That's the plan, my dear! Your
heart is going round and round and
viii grind on itself unless you give 1t
something else to grind.
Pour INTO the hopper a never end
ing stream of love and thought and
care for others. That's the secret of
popularity!

Longevity In Mexico.

The approaching visit TO Chicago of q
Blackfoot Indian whose age. well au-
thentieated is Isl years. has been noted
IN our news columns. 1t is an interesting
fact that the most remarkable instances
OF longevity among the inhabitants of the
new world are chronicled of the aborg
ines. This holds good both of North and
South America. Especially great are the
ages attained by Indians dwelling in the
highland tropics, fact noted by the OBJ
servant Baron Won Humboldt and by
scores of other travellers and explorers.
About two decades ago. Gen William
Palmer, of the famous Palmer-S sullivan
combination. who built the National Rail-
road from Laredo TO this capital, discov-
cred in the state of Neracruz an Indiar
peon working in the field who gave his
age at l35 years. Now, usually venera-
BILE Indians guess at their age but in this
case there was no mistake. for Gen
Palmer had the parish register searched
and the entry of the mans baptism was
found. The Indian had many descend
ants, and one son more than 100 years
old assisted his father in his labors.
Some years ago President Diaz. during
visit TO the state of Jalisco. encoun-
tered a veteran of the war of ndepend-
ence, man of Indian blood, who fought
under the patriot Morelos, and was at
the time when Gen. Diaz met him l27
years old. He had much to tell the presi-
dent of those early campaigns
Cases of Indian centenarians are almost
too common to attract remark. But that
of a certain Indian of the state of Micho-
acan, who. according TO Morelin papers
of not so many years ago. had reached
the astonishing age of l65 is worth not
ing. He was described as a laborer. who
worked almost up To the day of his death
and had been married several times. leav-
ing great grandchildren and grandchi-
chronicled in North America.
There is a Mexican saving to the effect
that when the Indians hair grows white.
the white man has already disappeared.
The superior longevity of the Indian is
we think. rightly attributed to his fru-
galty, his life in the open air and his
inherited lack of nerves" His mind is
not swept by gusts of emotion and he
preserves his serenity under all curcum-
stances
1t would be we'll worth the while OF

records of travel i'm this country, Cen

therefrom the instances of long life
