" Speaking before the Royal College of Physicians, recently, Sir Hermann Weber said that the best way of pro- longing life was keeping every organ as far as possible in constant working order, and counteracting the tenden- cies to premature death, inherited as well as acquired. Moderation in eat- ing, drinking, and physical indulgence was recommended, as well as pure ir, regular 'eyerciSe - every day im all weathers, supplemented "hy breathing exercises, walking and climbing tours, going to bed early, and rising early, and restristing the hours of sleep to SiX or seven. Daily baths, cold or warm, or warm followed by cold, according to the in- dividual conditions, also tended to prolong lie. "As 1 obtain a good part of my in- come by keeping people alive who really ought to have died years be fore,' said a eertain London doctor, "perhaps I may be allowed to express an opinion. He who would live long must eat heartily. > "The stress of a long life entails a tremendous strain upon one's vital energy, and this must be provided for. I invariably recommend for the aged a diet largely consisting of minced beef, which is about the 'most nour- ishing food I know. So long as one is not a glutton, there should he no limit to the appetite of the man who would: live long. We should make old- er hones if, as a nation, we had bet- ter appetiles and more to feed them with." Reflections Of An Old Maid. Chicago Tribune. Everybody seems to think a preach- er's wife should let her husband wear all the good clothes. The ratio of men to gentlemen, as you can find out by entering a crowd- ed car, is generally about 16 to 1. If a man thinks he can cook or do any kind of women's work as well as a woman does it, he always brags ab- out it. In all-my life, 1 have known only one perfect man, and he died of lone someness. A great deal of the misery of living in an apartment house could be elim- inated by having women janitors. Most of the news published in the papers is about the crimes or other peculiarities of men. This is because men publish the papers. The wgv to a man's heart is through his stomach, but so is the way to his malice. A man will come into the house smelling like an old pipe, and then make a fuss if his wife has been eat- ing onions. Rheumatism.

Winnipeg," Dec, 31.--Rev. C. B. Pit blado, Westminster church, returning home from a visit to St. Boniface Hospital, yesterday, started across the ice to take a short cut when sud- denly he fell into a hole. The reverend gentleman © managed to chutch the sides of the ice with both hands thus was able to keep his head above water, but could not elimb out. For twenty winutes he was in this peril ous predicament, calling for help, which at last came, and he was drag- ged out. Mr. Pithlado is in a serious condition from the effect of his in- voluntary cold bath, Bad Year For Cotton Mills. Boston, Mass., Dec. 31,~The year ending to-day has been unsatisfac- tory .for the cotton: mills of New England, as is shown by reports from New. Bedford, Lowell, Fall River and other centres of the milling industry. There have been a number of contri- buting causes for the disaster, but over and above all others the condi: tions that have ruled in the cotton market for the past twelve months naturally takes precedence, The divid- ends paid by the different mills during the year afford the best evidence of existing conditions. The dividends of the Fall River mills for the vear aver- aged 5.06 per cent., as compared with 6.47 per cent. in 1902. The same eom- parison holds good as regards Lowell, Providence, New Bedford and the oth- er large cotton mill centres of New England. -------- New Year Call By Wire.
