Centenarians.

So far as we know, most eentenari- ans do not live lives in very marked contrast to those around them. Some of them set store by certain simple habits, others drink or smoke or do both. but always in moderation and true temperance; eat cooked or un- cooked food as occasion or desire may determine, and at last drop from the tree of life like an apple fully ripe, and mankind notes their fall and goes on like them, each in his own way. Occasionally one of them, like the celebrated Parr achieves fame for something that he has done besides living to an exceptionally old age. Parr lived in the reign of ten English kings and queens and died untimely at the age of one hundred and fifty-two from slight change in his habits and environment, leaving as his chief achievement the record of his years which has not been surpassed in mod ern times.
