But while this may ha the greatest fortune which an ancestor can leave, it may be dissipated like any other inheritance. No one can count upon life long without area-j sonable conformity to the laws of health. There area few prodigies that survive,-who have never ob served any laws. For on 9 dissi- j pa ted person who reaches extreme | old age, there are a thousand who die in the prime of their years, j Physiologists have argued, with a grant force that the duration of human life should be a hundred years. But it is far short ot it. So ITw round up the century that ev ery instance attracts special atten tion. The dream of perpetual youth is constantly repeated. Dr. Holmes at eighty is as frisky as a kitten, lie learned the art of carrying bur dens lightly. Most people do not wear out. They worry themselves out of life. They are always old because they have carried so much dead weight. Nil doubt the oulli ration ot a youthful feeling is one of the arts of prolonging life; when people, through the indulgence of a morbid feeding, get the impres sion that they are too. old for his world, it is a pretty sure indication lii.it they are loosing their grip; the grace and beauty of age is to keep in touch with the world, to know bow its pulse beats from day today and to be alive to all human inter ims and sympathies. Age in such a life never wholly crowds out the i myuney of youth. The spring and elasticity survive. In most in stances the long life has been a good life. The world has been bet tor that the individaul has lived in it. lie lias been looking more for the good than the evil things of the wo.ld.

It is on the principle of the “put a penny in the slot” automatic machines. Tho apparatus is situated immediately over the passenger’s head and ua der tho ra •k, and is contained in a small box live indies by three. The light is of five candle power, and is obtained by tho introduction of a penny at die top of the box, and by tho subsequent pressure of a knob, and will last for half an hour, extinguishing itself at the end of that time automatically. If the light be required for an indefinite periud of a penny every half hour, wil'-sullMe, The light can be ex tinguished at any moment by means of a second button, provid ed for the purpose. One of the spe cial features of the invention is that if the instrument is out of ord er, the penny is not lost, as it is in tho present machines. It drops right through and comes on*, at the bottom of the box, so that it can be recovered, and the same result happens in the case of any coin other than a penny. Each carri age is fitted with an acculafor that supplies the electricity. This in vention will add greatly to the comfort of passengers during night journ e y s.—[ E xchange.
