A CENSUS OF CENTENARIANS

man with perfect endoerine system might live forever.
 At the same time psychoanalysis has laid bare the causes of many of the mental and nervous disharmonies which destroy men. It has come to seem possible that much nervous dis ease and insanity may be prevented by a proper mental hygiene begun in childhood.
 When one considers what science has done. in the comparatively few years that it has existed, it takes no great imagination to realize that Ber- nard Shaw's vision of a race Of men living to be 150 years of age or more is not wholly fanciful It is quite possible that, if international warfare with the help of poison gas does not destroy the race and its civilization, our descendants of a few centuries hence may look back upon this as an age as benighted as the stone age seems to us.
 Metchnikoff believed-and Shaw repeats the idea-that the fear of death will disappear as life lengthens and becomes more harmonious. He contended that death is natural and necessary to man, and that his fear of death is due to the fact that he is always cut off before he has had his normal fill of living. The man who has enjoyed 150 years of health and of complete fulfillment of his needs and desires, mental and physical, will lie down to die willingly and serenely as a healthy tired man lies down to sleep.

LAND OF STRANGE GODS

India is a land of strange gods. some of them very strange indeed. One encounters them all the country but it is only in the holy cities that their presence in force is felt.
 Of course, the grotesque shapes of the most pop gods are familiar, for their modifying out lines painted the front doors of, houses or daubed any spare wall. There is, for instance, Ganesh, god of plenty, god of mrth His character istics a monstrously developed stomach and elephants trunk which does undoubtedly give him a jovial appearance As he is also god learning Indian books contain little dedication to him the flyleaf.
 No less familiar is Hunooman. god of the keys, who risen from the role of holy monkey being the patron settled home life No city of pretensions is complete without temple in his honor.
 But the two supreme gods yishnu the Pre- server and Siva the Destroyer. Vishnue have come down earth nine times. He has had many-sided past, having taken the forms of fish. tortoise, bear, and lion, thereby increasing the popular regard for these animals But he is most widely known in his human shape of Krishna. As he had countless wives and sons-running into hundreds thousands-and his life a queer mix ure of feats of strength and of love- He is easily identfable, for he is painted bright blue. As with many other gods, his images treated very human y. Every day he is aroused from sleep, dressed and fedthe being quickly polished off by the priests afterwards-and each night he is undressed, batheo and put to bed just like human child
 Siva, the destroyer, the other hand, is rather fearsome monster, with a prediection for burning places and graves He has, however, most ungallant- y passed his worst qualities to his wife, the dread goddess Mali Rather curiously the pair of them worshipped the creators. well the desroyers, of life, that ohdless women often direct their prayers to them.
 There are said s9O million gods in the Hindu pantheon The whole land is a maze of strange gods varying those that dees the least violence to those that still supposed to be content with nothing less than human sacrifice.
 Still, it has a amusing side. The profits from shrines are enormous. Not so long go a holy man village and his fame attracted many pill grims. The saint continued grow in reputation night the villagers, fearful that he either might lose his sanetity move elsewhere, strangled him order his tomb forever.-London Mail.

The Career of Politics

In the autobiography of Chauncey NJ Depew running in Scribner's Magazine bit of advice which should be needed by every boy whom it appears that primrose path runs through politics Mir Depew soon after leaving Yale aaventured some- what into politics and acquired than interstate fame He had also been active member of the D state legislature had secretary state
 In 1865, Commodore Vanderbilt who had recently acquired the New York X Harlem railroad the first of his railroad properties Depew and offered him position in legal capacity. About the time he received a letter from William H. Seward. secretary of state informing him that he had been appointed United States minister to Japan unsolicited honor So certain was Seward that there would be avid acceptance that he already secured hurried confirmation of appointment. The salary s75oo a year-considerably more than that of the railroad position Beside allowance of ss.oo0 for an outfit
 Depew probably disposed to accept the ap- pontment, but he called Vanderbilt with to it and received some advice: "The railroads is young mans career; there's nothing in politics. Don't be damned fool"
 Depew thereupon declined the appointment and entered into the of the Vanderbilt lines he has lately rounded a fifty-six year term his positions increasing importance with the exten- sions of the lines

 Before the declination of MT. Depew had been finally accepted he was asked to call upon Anson Burlingame, who then in Washington Mir.

 It is true that some must engage in politics Otherwise there would be nobody to the chinery of government. It is true. though that it is necessary to grow up in politics become high and honored servants of the republic. If one starts too low he cannot much higher. This is the one vocation where one should not start the bottom of ladder.
 But starting even there, may if he cepts what comes to him a duty if he is animated by spirit of service A justice the peace may become president if he the right kind justice.
 But the young man enters politics for the money there is in it. for the honor of it, will get far from the starting point.

But these things are known, regardless of his guilt pr innocence of the crime for which he has been tried.
 The trial itself left other presumption of his 5nnocence than that which the law allows to all nersons charged with crime.

 Nor is his made better by the signed state ment of Foreman Frtze of the trial jury in which the district attorneys office and the court itself was vciousy attacked, confirming the later state ment of Mrs Hubbard that the friends of Arbuckle on the jury did deliberate upon the evidence but spent the long hours in the jury in denuncia- ton of the district attorneys office.
 The statement of Fritze plainly shows that he was not impartial juror, but rather that he was sorely disappointed juror serving for fee, tingent upon acquittal of Arbuckle
 That the outrageous signed statement of Fritze will be allowed by the court pass .unnoticed we cannot believe-
