HOW TO CONQUER TIME.

good health aud strength, with mind
unimpaired and with his physical sys'
tenn in excellent condition. He ac-
counts for this by saying that he rides
horseback good deal, abstains from
banqucts, and docs not worry. This
latter clause is especially important IN
lengthcning life and preserving physical
and mental vigor. for worry it is that
saps vitality.
But there is no set rule whereby any
one can either by doing a given thing
or refrainng from other things, as
suredly lengthcn his life and preserve
his vigor. We note in the newspapers
frem time to time the cases of old men
who have reached great age and who
are lnveterate users of liquor and Of
tobacco. 1t would be absurd to say
that they reached that age because OF
their use Of liquors or tobacco. Others
attain great age and have neither used
liquor nor tobacco, and they are pretty
apt to claim that their abstaining in
these respects caused their long life;
but the probability is that the abstain
ing had no more TO do In one case than
the use ia The other. And any general
probability that any given regime will
effect a desired result as to any lndi
vidual in the way of prolongIng his
life, strength, and vigor is likely to
prove fallacy.
We note in this connection a compila-
ton recently made by the Boston Trav-
eler, which is pertinent to the discus,
sion, and which shows the wide va
riety of claims made in this respect
and assurances given as to the virtue
Of one method Of life or another The
compilation is as follows:
