WITH PEOPLE OF LONG LIFE.
Men
of 70 Not Regarded as Old
Simple Life and Longevity.
In Norfolk, England, there . aro
in every village individuals of
more than '80 years- of age
and not infrequently cine or . two
over 90, ami those of 70 and upward
are regarded as not even old. Many
farm laborers of 70 are quite hale and
hearty, working iron'i early morning
up to five and six o'clock In' the even
ing, and some nre so vigorous as to
earn a full man's wages.
And the women in the country,
writes a correspondent, are more tena
cious of life perhaps than ate the men.
In one village personally known to me,
containing about ri'0 people, within
the past six months have died three
women of more than 90 years of age,
the oldest of these being no less than
96. In another Norfolk' village with
inhabitants to the number of 400 there
live a man of a woman of 90, a
woman of .S3, a woman of 87, and
several of both sexes over SO, In yet
another village there is a blacksmith
aged 91 ami the widow of a country
medical practitioner whose years
mount up to 92..
Tills longevity of the Norfolk peas
ant, comments the Lancet, has a very
Interesting pathological side lo it. The
chief enemy of the farm laborer of the
eastern counties from the s no' op 1

old age by this dis ase. Put In spite
of this the average of longevity seems
to be very high, although as well r.s
rheumatism he has to loutend with
the lack of adequate housing accom
modation and want of proper sanitary
arrangements. That to eat. sparingly
of plain wholesome food, to be much
In the open air and to work sufficient
ly to occupy the mind and to exercise
the body will enable a man to defy
more or less the evils of environment
would seem to be shown by the tough
ness of the Norfolk laborer.
AT SUMMIT OF CREAT VOLCANO.
Crater
Of Mount
Visit of
Etna Well
Traveler.
Worth
We were taught to spell It Aetna,
hut the "a" has been dropped by geog
raphers. The Arabians who discovered
It gave it tho name of "Gibello," signi
fying a mountain. The natives stuck
a "nionte" before it, hence "Monte Gi
bello," a mount-mountain. An abbre
viation is "Mongibello." A pyramidal
rock forms the summit of the great
volcano, of which tie crater is over
nine miles in circumference and 7.10
feet deep. Many Kfrangers visit the
mountain, but few ever teach its fro
zen top, so much do the difficulties
and dangers Increase after passing
the first region of snow. Not many
years ago nn Kngilsh tourist who
reached tho crater was rash enough to
descend It by means of ropes attached
to his waist. He was drawn up suf
focated, after having given the signal
to his guides. These were unable
to restore him to life.
Separating Listeners.
"One thing must be slated clearly in
the contract," said the woman who
was having a party telephone line put
in her apartment, tie? other party
must b some on who does npt live
in this house. I am willing to share
the line with a stranger, but not with
neighbors who know me well enough
to take an interest in my affairs.''
"You m 1 v be perfectly easy in your
mind on that point, madam." said the
agent. "We r.cver put two subscrib
ers in the same house on the same
line. The company ha mod long ago
that such a plan does not work well.
You are not the otily person who ob
jects. In fact, ct en body objects, and
the company never makes such an
arrangement o lines. We expect to
put you on a wire with a sii'wscribvi
in the uex' block."
Wnt Open-Air Schools.
The cl ibwonien of New Jersey are
Interesting themselves in this open air
school for children that is being a I
vocated by Mr. Alexander McAllister,
a physician of Camd' n, X. .1., as a
means for cuiing at"! pi event ing taber
miosis. Mr. McAllister declares that
it would be entirely feasible to have
the studies of children conducted out
of dot: 3 -:a the yards of the schools,
for irstaice, from tho latter part of
May to the close of the school term,
and from the beginning of the school
terra well Into October. The club
women have expressed tbir detpr-
mia&tion to pee that the Jdea has
rair trial. rue tirsu epn;rio,
it is said, will be made In Camden un
der tho direction of Dr. McAllister.
- Insults fof Lord Milner.
Lord Milner Is said to possess such
an even temper that it is almost im
possible to ruffle it, ami thereby hangs
a tale. Many years ago he worked
under. Mr. V. T. Stead on a London
newspaper, and one day young Milner
addressed a meeting in the Fast enj
of 1-ondon, when nn insulting remark'
made by one of the audience roused
him. I'rged 011 by his natural indigna
tion, he made an exceptionally bril
liant speech. On hearing of the iti'I
dent later, Mr. Stead remarked:
' Well, Milner, I wish to goodness I
knew how to insult you every day be
fore you start woik."
A Distinction.
"I'm you think a man should go Into
politics as a profession?"
"No," answered Senator Sorghum;
"not as a profession tint he should
be a cood hand at a trade."

Oranges are one of their great dain
ties, especially (he big "navel" vatio
ties, measuring upward of "'4 inches
fir diameter. One old patriarch named
Fmperor William will catch the or
anges one after another, full ten feet
e.bove the ground, until an even dozen
may be seen at the same time slowly
bumping down his long expanse of
neck, to be finally lost in the ruMle
of feathers where neck and body Join!
William has been known to gulp ;;5
or -10 oranges in succession, says the
.Vide World Magazine, and the fact
that he is in robust health at 211 years
of age seems to indicate ihat Califor

The College Man In Business.
1 have no doubt that a man with
training in imagination derived from
a college educn Vm can advance ri
idiv, byj I would rather have a man
in business who can do percentage
than one who can do differential citl
.uliis. The grasp of detail Is what the
university man does not get. The
man in business requires the routine
character of mind that the highly
educated college man has not the
patience for. What seem to be ig
things do not exist In business, for
business is simply a combination of
details. The best man in business is
the man with the greatest imagina
tion. The strongest asset a business
man can have is the power of seeing
what might happen. He must also
have the moral courage to go broke
if necessary, and not resort to crooked
work to keep afloat. --C. H. Ill ley.

Vast Tract Unexplored.
David George Hogarth, the geogra
pher and explorer, said In western
Asia there are vast areas on which n
Kuropean foot is known to have trod,
nor even any European eye to have
looked. The greatest unseen area lies
In Arabia. Almost all. the southern
hr.lf of Aiabia is occupied, according
to native report, by a vast wilderness
colled generally Ruba el Khali, "Dwell
ing of the Void." No European haa
ever entered this Immense tract,
which embraces enre 000,000 square,
miles. It would, latte a bold man to
venture out for the passage of either
fcoO miles west lo east or 650 north
to south in the isothermal fconu of
the world's greatest heat.
If the father is not compassionate,

A red nosed man may not be a

one.
Men rear sons to provide for olj
age; they plant trees because the;

If yoti wish your children to have a
quiet life, let thetn always be a little
hungry and cold.
The large fish eat the small fish, the
small fish eat the shrimps, and th
