novel ''Tremaine" he was fearful OF
acknowledging himself the author I'M
til its fate should have been ascer-
,tained. He accordingly, the better to
preserve his incognito, sent the manu-
script copy by the wife of his attorney
to Mr.. Colburn. The work. although
accepted, was not considered likely to
pay extremely well, and consequently
a trihing sum was given for it. Con-

Secret of Reaching Ripe Old Aas.

Let the aged seek youth. trim their

advice Of DR. |. l.. Naseher. of this

First of all. DIR. Nascher suggests

the stimulation of the sense of pride
in appearance. but indirectly through
the nattering comments which it
arouses. This does not mean that he
should resort to the artificial devices
which the middle aged ard elderly wo-
man employ to enhance their charms.
1t does mean that the aged man should

sense of neatneSs in dress. Instead of
deriving such q course as vain. it
should be encouraged as laudable eff
fort to maintain a youthful spirit
DR. Nascher sets forth that there are
many factors which contribute to pre-
mature aging, such as TIE rapid vihra-
tions of motor driven vehicles. rapidly
moving elevators, the eye strain pro-
duccd by the Pickering of moving pic
ture machines. the ear strain and the
mental strain of listening to the teie-
phone, the many little shocks ana mo-
ments of rights incident to crossing
the streets aud city noises in general.
The physician finds that most per-
sons who have reached old age were
sparse eaters and lived outdoor lives.
Most aged men were smokers and
drank alcoholic liquors. Most all per
sons come from agricultural districts
and were married and nearly all were
actively engaged in their labors until
shortly before their death. He quotes

here is another specimen from the
same article:

which the Republican returns are too
meagre to indicate the results and many
towns in the three counties reported
AS matter of fact, Hancock coun-
ty which is purposely omitted from
tabulation in the referred to article,
was practically complete for morn
ing papers of Tuesday. The Bangor
News contained the county tabulation
with this introductory paragraph:
With Bar Harbor and six small
towns yet to be heard from the pri-
mary returns show the following
votes: Republican, Peters, 675. Haincs,
1873; Democratic, Gould, 1885, Pattan-
gall. 81"
Yet that was county referred t.
in a Tuesday evening news" paper
as: Republican returns are too mea-
gre to indicate results
The Republican vote as whole in
the district was expectedly and neces-
sarily smaller than the Democratic
because of the hot Democratic con-
test for nomination. and the active
and complete work on the part OF
Mr. Pattangall and his associate, but
the balloting conclusively demon
strates that the Republican party will
rally behind strong candidate and
elect him. If they fail William II
Pattaugall will represent this district
