HAPPINESS INDUCES OLD AGE
Human Body Demands Enjoyment.
and Like Rose, Will Not Thrive J
in Shadow.

A woman has declared that at Una
hundred and six she is in better health
and happier than at any previous timR
in her life, according to the Christian
Herald.
Surely woman who is healthy at
one hundred and six ought to be happy.
She would have to be happy to be
healthy.
None but happy disposition could
carry one through so many years. A
gloomy temperament would strangle
life out of the body long before the age
Of one hundred and six.
The human body can no more thrive
In shadow than can a rose.
We live by desire to live. Enjoy
ment of and zest in life are constant
source of life supply.
Old age ought to be the happiest
period of life, particularly for wom-
an. II she has kept her mind active
and has wisely refused to settle into
the dull rut that people always have
ready for her, she can begin in old age
to enjoy life in earnest.
IN old age there Is no more worry
about the babies, no more suffering for
others. The children are grown up,
and. If her part has been well done,
they are prop and solace to her.
Grandchildren are delight without
the bitter, constant worry.
The woman grown old in years
should be at her best mentally. She is
free to indulge her tastes, enjoy good
book and the conversation of genial
minds.
Women retain their vitality and spir-
Its longer than men do. The burdens
OF life fall from them gradually, and
the peace of retirement from active du-
ties comes upon them little by little
and almost imperceptibly.

ALL AIRCRAFT oUTRIvALED
Ancient Bird, the PterodactyI, Had
Twenty-Five Fast Wings, Weighed

It lie rather difficult to say, accord

But apparently the wings convention
ally worn by angels are those of the
albatross. At all events, albatross
wings correspond most nearly to the
patterns.
The albatross weighs about 10
pounds and has wing spread Of IN

seven square feet. With wing spread
proporti0nate to size, an angel as well
equipped for flight as the albatross
ought to be able to fly very well.
The trumpeter swan, which is the
greatest weight-carrier Of all long-dis-
lance flyers. would be at disadvan-
tage az compared with an angel. It

spread Of only eight feet.
But no angel or modern bird could
compare as a flyer with the ptero-
dactyl Of 100000 years or so ago,
which, weighing perhaps % pounds,
had wing spread of % feet. Its
bones were almost paperlike, and its

oUININE OF PERUVIAN ORIGIN
5ark's Medicinal Virtues Were First
Discovered In That Country
Many Centuries Ago.

Jesuit's bark is one of several
names given to the Peruvian bark
from which quinine is made. The
medicinal virtues of the bark are said
to have been discovered by q Jesuit
about 1885, but 1t is likely they were
known to the natives of Peru before
the Spanish Jesuits visited that coun-
try. Another name of the article, Gin
chona, undoubtedly is of Spanish orr
gin. In 1929 Spanish nobleman, the
count Of Chinchon, was appointed gov
ernor Of Peru and during his residence
there his wife was cured Of an attack
of fever and ague by means of the
powdered bark and when about to en-
bark she took quantity Of the bark
with her. She died on the voyage, but
the bark reached Spain and in grateful
remembrance Of the countess of Chin
chon, 1t was called Cinchona, or, as 1t
should have been, Chincona. The Brit
fish Encyclopedia says: 1.-THE earliest
Northumberland instance Of the med
icinal use of cinchona bark is found
in the year 1888, when the countess of
Chinchon (hence the name), the wife
Of the governor of Peru, was cured Of
an attack of fever by its administra-
ton. A knowledge of the bark was
disseminated throughout Europe by
members of the Jesuit brotherhood,
whence it also became generally known
as Jesuit's bark"

RAISE FIVE VICE PRESIDENTS
Tyler, Fillmore, johnson, Arthur and
Roosevelt Succeeded on Death
Of the President.

Five vice presidents Of the United
States have on the death of the presi-
dent succeeded to the higher Office.
The first president to die while In office
was William Henry Harrison, grand
father Of Benjamin Harrison of In
diana. His death occurred April 4,
1S41, just one month after his inaugur-
alton. The vice president, John Tyler,
then at his country home in Virginia,
was officially notified Of the event and
on reaching Washington, at once took
the oath Of Office as president.
AS this was the first case Of the kind
there was much discussion for a time
In and out of congress as to Tyler's
proper title-that Is, whether he was
vice president Of the United States
acting as president or president. It
was finally conceded on all sides that
the language Of the Constitution is
clear that on the death Of the presi-
dent In office the vice president be-
comes, in name as in fact, president.
The trainers Of the Constitution did
not leave the door open for trouble
that might arise regarding the legality
Of acts done by an "acting president"
On the death Of President Zachary
Taylor, July 8, 1850, Vice President
Willard Fillmore succeeded to the pres
idency and was at a later date an un-
successful candidate for election to the
office. Andrew Johnson, the third vice
presidentsto succeed to the higher Of
fee. took the oath April Is, 1855, the
day after the assassination Of Presi-
dent Lincoln. President Garfield was
shot July 2, 1881, died the following
September 10, and was Immediately
succeeded by Vice President Chester A.
Arthur. Vice President Roosevelt sue
ceeded President Mckinley, who died
September IA, 1901, and was the only
one of five vice presidents. thus sue
ceeding to the office who was subse-
quently elected to II.

SING TO SETTLE oUARRELs
EskImos Have Peculiar Manner Of
Adjusting Their orIevances-En.
envy Must Listen.

The Eskimos. who live in the Ice
bound, barren Northland, have a way
Of settling quarrels which seems very
strange and amusing to those who live
In land of policemen and courts of
justice. There, when Quarrels arise,
the man who has grievance writes a
song in which he tells the wrongs that
have been done him. When this has
been composed to his satisfaction, he
invites his enemy to come and hear
him sing 1t. This the enemy must do,
and he brings with him all his rela-
tives and many Of his friends, while
the singer also has gathered his friends
and relatives for the occasion, which
Is considered something Of q general
entertainment by the people Of the VII
lage in which the men live.
Then, while other men Of the village
pound madly on huge drums. the song
Of wrongs Is begun. When It is fin
ished. If the audience expresses ap-
prevail, the singer is considered to have
won and to have just cause Of COM
plant. But If dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed, that is considered sufficient
punishment. After the song everyone
dances and the party breaks up In
great good humor.
