LONGEVITY OF LIFE.
It is Bad Management That Kills so
Many People.
Longevity of life will always be an
interesting subject upon which to
think and write. When we read of a
“hale old man” taking a European
trip in his 89th year, there are very
few of us who would not go far out of
our way to learn the secret of living to
such an age, and at the same time of
retaining possession of evey faculty.
Who can but admire William E. Glad
stone managing the political affairs of
one of the greatest nations of the earth
at his great age—over 80—and David
Dudley Field, who is eujoying his tour
in Italy with ail tne enthusiasm of a
young traveler, in his Stub year? Of
course these men are exceptions to the
general tule, but we all are anxious to
gain every idea pertaining to the
lengthening of one’s York life. Academy At a recent of
meeting of the New
Medicine, some of the specific and rel¬
ative values of the important factors of
longevity were discussed. In the last
issue of the Medical Review are two
paragraphs that are interesting and
touch particular on this point:
“The man who was careful, consid¬
erate and moderate in the exercise of
all his facilities, whether animal or in¬
tellectual, was one who would last
longer than the man who over-indulged
in which”go any one of the numerous things
to make up life. The men
who broke down and died prematurely
were usually those who had not lived
temperately. It was often said that
men worked themselves to death, yet
the more he observed people, the more
did he become convinced of the cor¬
rectness of the Western editor’s asser¬
tion that men do not die of over work,
but rather of what they take between
their work; yet he did not believe in
total abstinence in any sense. There
was no law, with regard to eating and
drinking and manner of living, which
could be laid down as applicable lo all
individuals. Each persou must find
out the law which applied to himself
and obey it. Each person could usual¬
ly discover what agreed with him, and
if longevity was sought after, he would
have to avoid the things which evi¬
dently disagreed with him and seek the
things which did agree with bim.”
are
tions which would give a fair idea of
long and short life. It was not in one
trait, but in the entire make-up of the
individual who stood before the exami
ner. There were the color, the roo
tions, the measurements, including size
of head, which was one of the most
certain indications of long or short
life, for in the brain lay the great cen¬
ter of power. A persou with a head
whose diameter at the thin portion of
the temporal bones measured five and
a half to six inches was almost sure to
give a longevity on the father’s side of
seventy to ninety or over. If the head
measured in front from the external
auditory canal to the naso-frontal su
l ure as much as four and three-fourths
or five inches, we might be almost side,
sure of long life on the maternal
A beard which is darker or redder than
the hair indicated inheritance from the
paternal side; if it were lighter than
the hair inheritance was probably from
the maternal side. The length of the
chest, its proportion to the circumfer
ence, to the height of the indivual,
and other measurements, were impor
tant.”
There is a common belief, when any
organ of the human body becomes dis
weakened or debilitated from any
turbance. that it required reading rest to regain
its lost strength. In over an
editorial in the New Fork Medical
Times this popular idea is certainly
overthrown in the present instance,
It states that Sir Andrew Clarke, that
distinguished doctor, was given up to
die from consumption, and yet, not
withstanding his hard work, his health
became so firmly established that he
out-lived many of his cotemporaries
and gained a reputation exceeded by
none in his profession. this j.he problem limes
states that the solution of
is simple, and should serve as an ex
ample to those who are constantly
breaking to? down and have often to leave
»o.k weeks or moths, to keeper
ate. In a clinical lecture in the Lon
don Hospital, Dr. Clarke for gives health. a very
excellent prescription
the delicate. And Kih when 70S *Me % 1 is
any health organ that
sick it is then truer than in
even in sickness and delicacy it is bet
ter for the organ to do what work of its
own it can, provided it can do it with
out injury. And from a considerable
experience of tuberculous pulmonary confi
disease, I can say with perfect
dence That those who baye done the
best have usually been those who have
occupied themselves the most. I nev
er knew my own parents. They both
died of phthisis. At the age of twenty
one I myself went to Madeira to die ot
phthisis. But I did not die. and on
coming coming back odCK, j. I had uau the tue good guou luck julx to m
get into this great hospital, and well in
those days they were Scotchmen not very coming

heard that I had tubercle,and they wa
<*ered =^6 100 to I that I would only have

The reason oiven for that was that I
did not eat ind worked too hard. I

Tell About It.
The South needs to Jet the world
know what it has, and to do this it
must advertise—advertise freely and
persistently, and not spasmodically.
Its railroads must advertise as well as
the towns. If any western road had
such a country as western Carolina
and north Georgia, for instance, it
would spend §80,000 to 8100,000 a
year advertising it, until the whole
country became wild about it. The
cost would be returned many times
over. Other parts of the South may
not have the wouderful montain scen¬
ery of western Carolina, but they have
some special advantages that are equal¬
ly as great as Carolina’s mountains.
Some have remarkable advantages for
fruit raising, for grapes, etc., for early
vegetables; some for climate eondi
tions that almost guarantee good
health and a long life; some great facilities tim¬
ber resources; some unusual
for manufacturing. In every part of
the South there are some peculiar ad¬
vantages that justify telling the world
about, and every Southern railroad
ought to make it a business to study
out the conditions of the country along
its line, and then intelligently, steadily
and liberally advertise them. It mat¬
ters not how poor a railroad may be,
it must advertise. Laud owners and
business men can leave a section if not
satisfied and go somewhere else, but a
railroad must stay where it is, and its
and its prosperity depends upon Manu¬ tiiat
of the country tributary to

j WORRIES OF A TRAIN DISPATCHER
‘
A Blunder That Might Have Snrriflcod a
Humber of Lives.
It was the train dispatcher’s turn to
tell a story, and this was the one he told:
“I was working on a western road in 1SS0,
and 1 had a long night trick. The section
of the road over which I worked was a
big one. It. was a single track road, ami
as the traffic was very heavy it kept me
busy all the time.
“One week in February there was.a very
heavy fall of snow, ami the trains all got
behind. I was at my wit’s ends, and one
night—it was Wednesday, Feb. It), I will
never forget '.hat date—I was trying to
handle a heavy cast bound passenger ami
a west bound passenger that was fully as
heavy. The east bound train w as way be
hind, and the west bound train had start¬
ed out on time. I gave the engineer of the
west bound train an order to run to a cer¬
tain station, and when 1 got a report from
the east bound train I ordered that engi¬
neer to go to a certain station and run on
a siding to allow the other train to pass.
“I was busy with a couple of freights
at the time, and when I got through and
had time to think it flashed on me that 1
had given what we call a lap order—that
is, the two trains would have to pass each
other on the same track if my instructions
were carried out. I don’t suppose thut 1
would have felt so bad if I 'had known
that I was going to be killed that minute.
The room swam before iny eyes, and I
nearly fainted from fright. I took a big
drink of water and wired the nearest sta
tious. Both reported that the trains had
left all right. There was a stretch of track
15 miles long between the stations, and 1
sat there knowing that somew here on that
15 miles those two trains would go togeth¬
er and I would be the cause of the deaths
of perhaps a score of persons.
“That was the most awful five minutes
I ever expect; to pass through. I tried to
think, and I couldn’t. My first impulse
was to run away, and I grabbed up my
coat and hut and was about to go. Then
I decided I would stay and take the con¬
sequences. I sat down by my desk and
stared at the clock. Every time the tele¬
graph instrument clicked I thought it was
bringing tidings of a fearful wreck. I pic¬
tured to myself the scenes when the two
trains crashed together, ns I knew they
must, for there was no way to reach them,
and every minute seemed like ati eternity.
I was pale ns a ghost and had not the
strength lo handle the key. Great drops
of sweat rolled off my forehead. I lived a
century at that desk during that half
hour.
“Two or three times the impulse to run
away came over me, but I fought it back.
Then I began to think of killing myself. I
did not think I could live and know that
I had made a blunder with such disas¬
trous consequences. I looked around for
a pistol, but there was none there. I even
picked up my paper cutter and put it to
my throat. My nerve was gone, however,
and I did not have the courage to cut my
throat. I prayed that some one would
come in and kill me, but nobody came, i
couldn’t sit in my chair, and crouched
down in a heap on the floor, and held my
hands over my ears so that I might not
hear the terrible tidings that, sooner or
later, I knew would come over that wire.
“As 1 was huddled there I heard the
operator at the station from which I sent
the east bound train calling me. *Gn’
was bis call, and he repeated it a dozen
times. ‘Here it comes,’ 1 thought, and by
a supreme effort I got over to thodesk and
tried to answer the man who was calling.
It took me five minutes to get sufficient
control of my nerves to answer the call.
Then I sank hack in my chair and waited
to bear the news of death and destruction.
‘No. 12,’ he wired, meaning the east
hound train,‘is hacking into the station.
What’s up?’
“It seemed as if Pike’s peak had been
lifted off my chest. I jumped up and shout
ed like a crazy man. It happened that the
trains were running slow and had come
across each other on a straight piece of
track, had seeu each other and hud time
to stop before ruuning into each other. I
was given a 110 day lay off for the hlui:
der, but I didn’t kick. It took me till of
that time to get my nerves straightened
out.”—Buffalo Express.

delicious cream cakes, They ure concoct¬
ed after an old recipe which has come
down from past generations along with
the family Bible and other relics.
Some time ago her neighbor, Mrs. Q-.
was to have company in the evening, and
it occurred to her that if she could only
have some cream cakes such ns Mrs. B---
made the little feast could not help being
a success.
Soon the morning of the festal day Mrs.
Q--procured the recipe and made the
cakes.
That afternoon Mrs. R--sat in her
window chatting with another neighbor
who hud run in, when the caller exclaim
ed:
“Oh, see! Here comes Mrs. Q--w ith
some of her lovely cream cakes) VVon’t

And Mrs. Q--bustled in with a pret¬
