"JAPAN'' AT OLIVET CHURCH.

On Sunday evening at the 7:3O service, the pastor, Dr. H. s. Brown, will show a, set of stereopticon slides to illustrate Japan, the Land of the Lotus Flower" The slides are artisti- cally colored and possess something of the charm of the country with which they deal. The awakening of Japan to the trend of modern life and ways has given her an immense stimulus whose results, in part, were manifested in her war with Russia. The influences which are shaping that country today will mold the destinies of Asia for centuries to come. Has America anything to fear from those Yankees of the Orient? Knowl- edge of the facts will hold to a sound answer.
 Olivet's board of trustees has just been organized with the choice of E. C. Dana as president, A. J. Abbott as secretary, F. A. Parsons as treasurer and H. D. Booth as collector. Hope and courage are high in all depart ] ments of the church life.

TODAYs ANNIVERSARY.

The first reference to Sunday sports in England is perhaps that contained in a special license grant ed by Queen Elizabeth, under date of April 26, 1869, permitting John S. Conton, poulterer, having four small children, and fallen into decay, to have and use some plays and games at or upon several Sundays, for his better relief, comfort and sustenta- tion" The games to be permitted un- der the direction of this Elizabethan promoter included ''the shooting with the standard, the shooting with the broad arrow, the shooting at twelve score prick, the shooting at the Turk, the leaping fos' men, the running for men, the wrestling. the throwing of the sledge. and the pitching of the bar" The authori- ties were advised to attend the games with -four or five discreet and sub stantial men" to keep the peace and prevent disorder.

THE SECRET OF A LONG LIFE.

Do you want to live to pass the century mark? If so, there are many systems which pretend to offer 10 their adherents the boom of long life, but the one which has best stood the test of time and experience is that of Luigi Cornaro, a sixteenth century Venetian who has been the inspiration of thousands of men and women. Perhaps the most disting- uished of Cornaro's twentieth cen tury disciples is Thomas A. Edison, who has repeatedly stated that he expects to live to be a hundred as a reward for his adherence to the regimen of the famous Italian. If a community should stop short and follow the teachings of Cornaro," |" said Edison on one occasion, ''there is no reason why the life of the com ing people should not reach 15O years"
 It was 353 years ago today that Luigi Cornaro died at his home in Padua, lilly, April 26, 1566. He was . only 103 years old at the time of his death, but in a treatise written short ly before his taking off he explained that, while he did not expect to live long after passing the century mark his untimely end would be due to the fact that he was born with a poor constitution" and had not lived cor rectly in the first forty years of his | life.
 Cornaro's wife, who survived him 1 a short time, was well past the cen l tury mark when she died. Their only | child, a daughter, was born when | both were past forty, yet they lived | to see her the mother of eleven loIo5 cendents adopted his doctrines, and | lived to be very old.
 1 Cornaro came Of wealthy family, and in his young manhood induIged | himself in all the Iuxuries and vices i common to that era. As a result he | found himself a physical wreck at | forty, and seemingly about to die of
 a complication of ailments. It was | then that he determined to prolong | his life by adopting a temperate and orderly mode of living. This he did,
 and at the age of eighty-six he
 wrote the first of those pamphlets on | longevity which have been so widely | translated and read.
 l His first step was to confine him
 self to the simplest and most easily | digested of foods, and to take these only in small quantities. At the end | of a year he was rid of the ailments
 which had threatened his life. After 1 that he began to experiment with various foods, and quickly discovered l that the palate is a poor guide. Many l foods which tasted good were re-
 sented by his stomach. Gradually he
 eliminated from his diet everything
 that disagreed with him. He chewed
 his food thoroughly, and always
 made it point to leace the table
 before his appetite was quite satis-
 fled. Fresh air and mild exercise
 were important features in his sys- tenn. He avoided extremes of heat
 and cold, never permitting himself : to perspire or freeze nor to become
 excessively fatigued, and he had reg
 ular hours for sleep.
 In reply to those who scoffed at !! his theories, and who stood for "a
 short life and a merry one," Cornaro
 said simply and convincingly:
 1 tI never realized the world was 50
 beautiful until I reached old age.''
