The new dis- covery, which is called the law of penetrability by Alfred W. Lawson, who claims to have found it after a labor of thirty years, does away with the medicine and the services of 'he doctor as well as of monkey glands. This law, as explained by the discov- erer, is ¢imply the art of synchroniz- ing all our organs by obtajning a pro- per balance of rest, food and exer- cise. | In its application every man must be his own ian and learn to adjust his habits to preserve such a by NG | balance of his functions.

E ness and long life, WOMEN SPIES JOKES, Long before women: had any thought of trying to compete with men in all occupations the woman Spy was a famous character of fiction, 'land spying was considered quite a womanly calling and one for which women were specially suited both by mature and training. The woman spy was taken as a matter of course, like the woman teacher and nurse, only she was a much more romantic {figure. But all this is now shown to {have been 'a delusion by Sir Basil Thomson, chief of the eriminal in- | vestigation bureau of Scotland Yard, who says that women do not make good spies, being lacking in techni- cal knowledge, a thing 'which he seems to rate far above the much-ex- tolled intuition of woman. In telling his experiences with a semyber of women spiés--or women who oomsidered themselves spies-- Sir Basil describes them as of ordin- ary intelligence, and in some cases very stupid, and their work trans- And he has known most of the womem spies who have gained any repuiation as such. Nor does he describe any of them as possessing the deadly beauty and charm which was supposed to make men putty in their hands. Not ag single one im- pressed him as being good looking.

They aré strong énough to have a real issue out of so seemingly ridicul- ous a stand. "Vote for Mahmond Bey and no examinations," is their slogan. Alas! Schoolboys in Egypt and in Canada are much the same. Alike they find the yoke of the educational | system irksome, But alike, also, they wifl find in later life that there is truly no royal road to learning. Ex- aminations, in fact, may go. But it 1s not the 'ests themselves, but what they represent, that eounts. No lowering of educational stand- ards should be permitted anywhere Mngthe world in such times es these.

A great many years have elapsed since Ponce De Leon, bold adven- turer, sought in the then new world ence among the living on this earth Is a thing which has been coveted down through the ages. Despite the views of Dr. Osler and others who serdously, or fn jest, have contended that most human beings would be better off for a chloroform treatment before, there are few who would not choose to emulate Methuselah. During the past few months news reporis and magazine articles have contained accounts of numerous per- sons who are enjoying rugged health and all their faculties despite the four and five score of milestones they have Jeft behind. When people ap- proach the hundred mark there js one question which they are called upon, scores of times, to answer. The question is: "To what do you attri- bute your good health andlonglife?" Assembling the reples from these young old people would leave a re- sult which would defy analysis. Ii would be difficult indeed to formu- late from the answers any set of rules which the individual might apply to himself and hope to acquire long life for himself. The reasons for old age, as vouchsafed by the aged, are usual- ly conflicting. One of the young aged men will account for his healthy body and acute faculties, because he refrained from intoxicants and narcotics, or perhaps he retired and arose early. Refusal to worry is another reason frequently advanced. It happens, however, that the next aged one will %ll you that he slept Httle, worked hard, worrfed a lttle--Ilike most of us-- and sometimes indulged a little too much in eating and drinking, " The point is that the secret of ex- ceptional long life is in as much of & mystery now as in the days of the fountain-seeking Spaniard. There may be old persons who consciously, or otherwise, have defied most of the laws of health. For the great mass it will Be eafest to assume that the better chance of enjoying longevity is through obeying the simple laws of hygiene and common sense, which have been proven by competent medi cal authorities, A CENTURY OF HUMANE LAWS. Humane societies are observing the centenary of the enactment of the first law for the prevention of cruel- ty to animals. It was a bill providing a penalty for ill-treatment of cattle, and was passed by the British parli- ament in 1822. That they took the leadership in this matter is a dis tinction of which the English people may well be proud; for the attitude that a people take toward the treat. ment of animals is a pretty fair in- dex to the state of their civilization, Savages are ruthless; backward peoples, if not cruel themselves, are indifferent to cruelty; but the most highly developed races {invariably are marked by merciful regard for the feelings of the weak and help- less, even though they be/dumbd brutes. It is a safe assumption thas a country which takes pains to pro- tect animals from needless suffering is one in which the 'arts, the sci- ences and all other earmarks of what 'we call civilization have attained = high degree of cultivation. It is only one hundred years since the first statute specifically probibit- ing cruelty to animals was written; law---the law enforced by the con- science--to restrain men and women from inflicting unnecessary pain on the lower creatures. William Cowp~ or, who died in 1800, wrote: 'I Would not enter on my list of friends (Though graced with polished manners and fine sense, Yet wanting sensibility) the man 'Who needlessly sets foot upon a worm.
