LIVING 100 LONG. -
“Why try tobea Centenarian?”’,
asks the Chicago Times-Herald.
People who sometimes express the
desire to live to be a hundred years
old have not thought of the con
sequences. The Times-Herald ex
presses itself on the subject thusly:
“What encouragement is there for
men who are anxious to become
centenarians ? The oldest man in
New York, a gentleman who is
well past 100, and who proudly
declares that he has never used
tobacco in any form and never
tasted any kind of intoxicating
liquor, js employed to pick wup
gtray bits of paper and rake leaves
in Central park.
Across the river in New Jersey
the oldest man, who has achieved
the remarkable age of 109 years,
is.an inmate of an almshouse.
Of the other centenarians who
have reported during the past few
weeks not one seems to be filling
a position of much importance,
aud the majority of them are pub
lic charges. It has long heen
recognized that life at public ex
pense was conducive of longevity.
We do not hold that the old
people are themselves to blame if
they happen to be useless. In
these days when railroad com
panies regard a man 85 as super
annuated, what show can even the
most ambitious centenarian hope
to stand in the mad whirl? So
why go on hunting for elixirs of
life ? Why seek to enable man to
live 100 years if he must end up
in the poorhouse or put in his de
clining days chasing bits of paper
that merry picnic parties leave to
flutter through our parks ?
. Ther® may be virtue in goat
lymph and it may be possible to

what’s the use ?
In defending herself from the
attack of a drunken husband, an
Ohio woman seized a leather
watch-guard which he wore about
his neck and pulled it so hard and
8o long that she strangled him.
The husband had been a soldier in
the Philippines and the sorrowing
widow promptly applied for a pen
sion, which has just been granted
her. Whether the gratitude of
our benevolent government,, which
takes the form of eight dollars
per month, is for the past services
or for the strangling of one of ite
rowdy cavalrymen is not quite
clear. ‘‘Almost anything,” says
the Philadelphia Times, ‘‘is pos
sible under our liberal pension
system, but it really would be in
teresting to know the classification
under which this very queer pen
sion is allowed. Probably the
man died from disease contracted
in the service. That is, he got
%dnmk while in the service and his
drunkenness was the reason that
his wife strangled him. Besides,
he was an Ohio man and she is an
Ohio woman.”
Josehp Geskie, of Trenton, N.
J., wanted to be a soldier, but was
rejected because he weighed only
128 pounds. Thereupon he went
home and lay in° bed two days,
meanwhile stuffing himself with
an ‘neredible number of einnamon
buns. Returning to the recruit
ing office in due course he ‘‘struck
the 152 pound notch’’ and was ac
cepted. Now the physicians are
puzzled and Joseph 1s happy.
Dime museum managers who are
engaged in the manufacture of
fat women will find in this inci
dent a valuable suggestion.
THE DEARNESS OF BUTTER.
One of the most eminent authorities
on consumption, Dr. Hughes Bennett
of London made the remark that ‘‘The
main causes of consumption are the
dearness of butter and the abundance
‘of pastry cooks ”’ Itis evident from
this that the doctor believed that the
poor and underfed are unable to obtain
sufficient fat, while the digestion of the
wealthy class is upset by their rich
pastries so that they do not assimilate
the proper amount of fat. In either
case it is a question of fat. We must
have fatin some form cheap enough
for the poor, and easy enoughfor tfie
enfeebleg digestion of the rich, Cod
liver oil in its crude condition is both
too difficult, and too unpleasant for any
one, but in the form of Scott’s Emul
sion as manufactured by Scott & Bowne,
it is not only easy to digest, and pleas
ant to take, but acts as a medicine in
Burifying the blood, as well as the very
est kind of fat forming food.

: GUOD ROADS,
The legislatare of New Jersey,
it is noted, passed a ‘‘permanent’’
road law, which went into effect
seven years ago, and which per
mitted the state to aid in the
building of a limited mileage of
permanent roads each year, the
state paying one-third and the
county and municipality directly
interested in each case paying two
thirds of the cost. The cost has
ranged from $4,500 to $5,884 per
mile, hut notwithstanding that
heavy expenditure, 588 miles of
stone and gravel roads have been
constructed in the state in the
seven years, the increase for last
vear heing 148 miles. The total
outlay on the parteof the state for
the period was $050,000. The cost
to the localities has been very
nearly %2,000,000, but they ap
pear to bé well satisfied with the
results obtained. The local com
munities are so well pleased with
the operatiou of the law that the
demand for state aid, on the
terms mentioned, ‘‘always outruns
the appropriation made by the
legislature for the purpose.” lln
other words, there are more com
munities willing to spend two dol
lars to the state’s one, to get good
roads, than the state can accom
modate. Thereare enough of them
to have built 600 miles of perma
nent roads in the state in the sev
en years, and the work is still
progreseing at the rate of 150
miles a year.
WHY 60 TO THE SOUTHWEST!
Prof. Chas. §W. Dabney, in Southern
Farm Magazine.
We have still in North Carolina,
Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama
many fertile and unoccupied acres
which need to be cultivated. This
territory could easily support a
population four times as great as
that which now occupies it. It is
the best watered and healthiest
country in the world, free for the
most part from malaria and all
climatic diseases. We have here
what they lack in the Southwest,
a uniformly-distributed rainfall.
We never fail to have good crops
of one kind or another, early or
late, in the South Appalachian
country. In the Southwest they
do not have a good growing season
oftener than one year in three. I
see no good reason, therefore, why
our people should be encouraged
to leave this country auy longer.
}Let us give them schools, good
roads and all other advantages,
and they will not want to leave,
Deceit and faisehood, whatever
conveniences they may promise or
produce, are in the sum of life,
obstacles to happiness.

Reumatism.
Nobody knows all about it;
and not}}ing, now known, will
always cure it.

boweis ta do their work. “If
it is, vou will eure it;if not,
you will do no harm.
The way, to cure a disease
is to stop its cause, and help
the body get back to its habit
of health.
When Scott’s Emulsion of
Cod Liver Oil does that, it
cures; when it .don't, it don't
cure. It never does harm.
