The desire for a loner life seems to be a part of the instinct of han-anity. Sometimes it does not seeni to be at ail modified by the prospect of continuous and severe Buff-ring. B it in the de sire of a long life we surely should in clude the desire for a healthy life. The question of bow to live in a physical sense, therefore, becomes a subject for careful study. It is all the more im portant because the conditions change with the change f age. It will not do to apply the methods of infancy or ol early life to middle life and old age. The great inclination of youth is to exercise. J be free ue of the body nr to the i-xtent of its powers is not only the means of ncquirine more power. but ot retaining what we hnve. So we ire to insist upon it that all through the growing p riod of life the law ( f activity prevails. There is nc substitute fir it. This tends to pro long the period of growth. S me havi contended that the longer ibis period can be made the more likely is long life to be f ecu red. Animals that live long are generally slowest in reaching their fullest perfection. Food at th early periods needs to have sp cial reference to construction. Hence it ii that milk and eggs and all the variolic foods are relished in quantities. In childhood, the healthy appetite ac cepts all of the various forms of food. There is growth, energy and much constructive force, and so all of the food elements are needed. Lu'er on. the person, if wise, comes te study food and exercise with reference to the kind of exertion that is to be pntf nh. The in-door life, even if it be one ol toil, must not be dealt with us is tht out-door lif S edentary call ings must have some relief bv z rcise in the p n air if the same food supply is usod. Now is the time to study the tendency of the system. If it is to leanness on the one hand, or plethora on the ot her, the fact should govern the diet. There are some senses in which the adage it true that a man is either m fool or his own doctor at forty. Bv this time he has come to appreciate some laws oi his own constitution, and to have some experience as to bis tendencies. II under good self-control, he will heed these lessons. Not unlikely he will need to consult, now and then, the stu dent of disease, but he does it to ob tain his opinion on the basis f his own experience. He takes him into consultation over his life, in order that he may be helped in deductions there from. The law of pliability or adjust ment must be studied and practiced by himself. Most of those who die between twenty-five and sixty, unless they die by accident, die by some indiscretion. It is the over-indulgence of appetite. or the neglect of food when needed, or the overstrain of business, or ex osure to changes of temperature without corresponding changes of clothing. Most people of these ages are con- scious of the error after it has been made, or others are co scious of it for them. Without undue captioi sness we can note changed conditions and adapt ourselves thereto. Multitudes die prematurely by reason of an indis cretion which might have been easily avoided. It is intelligent caution that saves sickness, and this caution ought to I e in possession and exercise before middle life. It is so much easier to prevent serious sickness than it is to secure recovery from it. Hence it is that so many that are deficient in vigor in early life outlive the rigorous and the careless. Necessity compels them to study their changing condi tions of health, and so teaches them the benefits of adaptiveness to condi tions and circumstances. After middle life it is always to be recognized that a process of degenera tion has begun. The tissues are less fl xible a d less easily nourished. Organs have not the activity of vouth. Some of the n have become more or less impaired. The safe'.y is in recog. nizing the facts and treating them ac cordingly. It is wonderful how the system often bears up under the partial disability 01 an organ or a part if there is adaptation to its we.-ik ness, and some compensation therefor. In a state of inability each organ tends to give to some other a helping hand. Thev will b ? work rs f r each other if only we are co-workers.

' J "Ui.t.i. Even old age tends to last The natural degeneration oi tissues or vessels is too often hurried forward bv spells of undue exertion or bv too consi ant repose, while good food is needed more and fivq iently than in middle life, there is of en er ror in the over-use of concentrated foods. There must be adaptation to our more ret ired and quiet life.

The proverbial philosophy of "Old Si," the venerable plantation darkey, who gave to the world through the medium of Small's pen maxims of worldly wisdom, clothed in a verbiage of irresistible humor, has found a permanent place in humorous litera ture. Great surprise was shown when it was announced that he, having been converted under the ministrations of "Sam Jones," would become an evangelist At first thought, a humorist in the pulpit 6eems incongruous. Is it really so? No doubt the mere buffoon at tempting to turn men's hearts to solemn truths would meet with only contempt. But truth is not hidden in gloom. Genuine humor frequent ly illustrates and fastens in the mind bits of wisdom that would otherwise pass unheeded. In his eulogy of Henry Ward Beecher, Rev. Dr. Parker says: ""Whenever he came among men, he brought June sunshine and music, and made even desponding and surly men feel that a fuller and warmer summer, 'the Kingdom of Heaven,' itself was 'at hand.' " That is crenial Christianity. Mr. Small belongs to a witty fami ly. He has a brother connected with Annoy Knox's and "Fat Con tributor's" Texas Siftings, a paper which has had phenomenal success in the field of humorous literature. Mr. Frank A. Small is the present representative of that popular paper in England, and, like his distinguish ed brother, he takes a deep interest in the welfare of other people. Under date of 48 Porten Road, Kensington W. London, Eng., Sept. 27th, 1887, he writes: "While at Yalding in Kent yesterday. I met Prof. S. Williams, Head Master of the CleaveB Endowed school. In the course of conversation about Ameri ca, Professor Williams remarked that Warner's safe cure had been of great benefit to hk wife, who had been much troubled with a disordered liver. Warner's safe cure (an Ameri can preparation) was all she had taken, and she had experienced none of her old trouble for some months past." Mrs. Annie Jenness-Miller, editor of New York Dress, and a very pop ular woman in the fashionable world, says in her own msgazine for October: "Warner's safe cure is the only medicine I ever take or recommend. In every instance it gives new energy and vitality to all my powers.'' This distinguished woman also says that for ladies this great remedy is "pe culiarly effective." Sam Small is likely to succeed as a moral teacher. Wlien we remember how near together in human nature lie the fountains of laughter and of tears, the deep effect his discourses must have on the masses can easily be imagined. "Why did God make so much out doors?" exclaimed a little girl. We know not. He has made it and we should grow in it, broad, charitable and genial, judging everything by merit, not by prejudice. Cattle stealing has become 60 an noying in Lyons and Chase counties, Kansas, that the stock raisers have organized an association for. pro tection against the thieves. Here are some odd names: Sap phire Gunnybag and Macy Marcy Mercy Massey, of Boston; John Yandanbicrlierenberger, a Philladel- phia shoemaker; Applepie Johnson of Pittsburg; Liberty Tadd, a Phila delphia artist; Echo Halfnose, of Chicago; Jesus H. Christ, a Phila delphia stationer. Bonner has nearly bought a town He has just purchased an enormous amount of real estate in Bridgeport, Conn. It consists of a tract in the center of the city, and includes five churches, the old court house, six livery 6tables, three bank buildings, and more than one hundred private residences. The property is worth over $6,000,000. A Level-Headed Wife. The governor of Arkansaw had ju6t turned from a petition bearing 684 names, when a tall, angular woman, carrying a gingham sun bonnet by the strings, entered the room and, ! dropping on a settee, said: ! "I want to see the guv'ner." "I am the governor, madame." "Shore?' "Yes, I am quite sure," "Wall, I come to ask jou why you didn't answer my letter. I live out in the hills. Moved there lately from Indyany. Sent you a letter by a feller named Steve Spencer. Why didn't you answer it?" "Your name, please?" "Jane Bromfield. From as good a family as ever lived in the state. Father was a Mcintosh and mother was a Harkrider." "I did not receive your letter, Mrs. Bromfield." "Look here, do you reckon that feller got drunk an' lost that docky- ment? "I don't know anything about his habits." "But don't it 6tand to reason that he got drunk?" "Well, it's far from impossible." "I'll tell you what the letter was. Shortly after I got here, Tobe, my husband, was sent to the penitentiary. He wasn't a citizen oi the state at the time, and didn't think his sen tence would hold him." His not being a citizen makes no difference." "And he could be sent to the pen itentiary before he had a right to vote?" "Yes." "And stay there just the same as any citizen?" "Certainly." "Shore?" "Of course, madam, I know what I am talking about. I would like to tell you, before you put yourself to the trouble of pleading his case, that it is quite useless. He is doubtless guilty, and I therefore cannot grant him a pardon. "My sakes alive, man, don't skeer yourself, for I'm not going to ask for a pardon. The letter I writ you at a time when I thought you couldn't hold him 'unless he was a voter stated the fact that he voted at the last election whether or no." "Then you don t want him par doned?" "Not much. I've done so much better since he's been in there that I never do want to set eyes on him again. It may sound a little strange, but it is a fact that as soon as they took him away the hens that had been mopin' 'round on a sort of strike all spring put to layhV, and I wish I may die if I didn't think they would lay themselves to death. One big old dominicker, the finest hen on the place, but mighty sulky and hard to please at times hadn't laid a single egg for two months, but when she bund that they had took tobe off she set in to layin an I never seen nothin's to ekel her. She'd walk around the yard and sing awhile, an1 then she'd go in and lay. Tobe was to oblicre a poor woman, make it two, governor?" "Oh, no; I have no authority to extend the time. "I didn't know but to oblige a po' woman you mout. "No, I cannot." "Well, don't you think you could slip six months on him, anyhow?" "No. can t extend his tune a nun ute." "But are you sure that you won't let him out under a year?" "Well keep him in that long." "Well, I'm much obliged to you for doin' what you can," she said, arising, "and 1 Deueve inai 11 you had the power you wouia ao more for me. Good day." Arkansaw Traveller.

AN INHUMAN PARENT. He Sells His Four Daughters to Get Liquor. Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 2. While a Victoria schooner was lyinc at the wharf at Barclay Sound, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, recently, the captain and crew were surprised to see two white girls running to wards the vessel, closely pursued by three or four Indians. Reaching the side of the vessel the girls sprang on board almost exhausted, and beg ged the captain to protect them from their pursuers. The Indians were close upon them, and, jumping on the deck of the schooner, demand ed the girls as- their property, bul the captain refused to give the girls up. After parleying with the captain for a short time they took their de parture, only to return largely re enforced. The captain then surren dered the girls for fear of his life. It has since been learned by tho Government of British Colombia which is to demand the release of the girls, that they are daughters of William Thompson, formerly of Victoria, who with his wife and four daughters moved to San Juan, on the west coast, three years ago, and took up his home near an Indian camp. DiL'ce tnat tune until now nothing had been heard of then After moving to San Juan the father became dissipated and all he earner went for the purchase of liquor When he could no longer obtain money or liquor he sold his eldest daughter to a wealthy Chinaman, to whom, it is said, she was married at the point of a revolver. His wife died of a broken heart, and in one of his revelries at the Indian eamp it ia alleged he agreed to barter . two of his daughters for a few blankets, clothing and whisky. The bargain was made, and for the purpose of carrying it out, Thompson's hut was visited the following night by a few of the tribe, who easily carried away their helpless victims. Since their captivity the girls have been subject ed to the most brutal treatment. A I younger sister, only eight jean old, was sold to another tribe of Indians- The light-house keeper at Race Rocks Light has within a few days seen a young white girl in a eanoOj paddled by Indians, pass the light house.
