WASHINGTON- , May 0. Special Corre-
cpondonco of Tin ; BF.R : Born apparently
into the lap of consumption ; blind nnd sickly
nt twentyoneweak ; and feeble at thirty-flvo ;
the picture of health at three-score nnd ten.
It reads like a patent medicine advertise
ment , but It is the story of Kov. Dr. Milbuni ,
the noted blind chnplnin of the house of rep
resentative * . It is nstory of tho'triumph ' of
reason and will over body nnd disease. It Is
a story which mav give nny weak man
courage. * The blind parson told it In a voice
ns strong ns that of n boy. His gestures were
as forcible nnd easy ns those of nn athlete ,
and from tlmo to thno ho Inughcd whllo toll-
lug It with the enthusiastic ha ! ha I hnI which
comes only from perfect lungs , a happy soul
and a good digestion. Ho smoked as ho told
It , tind ho enjoyed his pipe like a veteran
tobacco user. Said ho :
"For fifteen years I was OHO of the most
fragile of men you can imagine. I had to
hold n book at the end of my nose with my
hand above to shade the pave , and by moving
tbo book continuously along I managed , by
Boeing ono letter at n time , to read and spell
my way through sch6ol and college. The ro-
lult was that when n very young man I found
myself nflllctcd with curvnturo of tlio splno ,
n curvnturo of the breast bone and n disease
of the heart , and there seemed absolutely no
prospect of my over becoming n healthy
man. I was also extremely delicate , nnd
"when between nineteen nnd thirty-flvo years
old my weight ranged from 10 * to U5 pounds.
I was working hard , however , nil this tlmo ,
and paving attention to all sorts of things ex
cept the laws of health and lifo. 1 wont to
England whan thirty-four nnd got some hints
from there. In these days very little atten
tion was paid to hygiene , nnd after returning
1 begnn to put In practice what I had learned ,
and ever since that time have increased In
weight and size. I increased m.v chest meas
ure twelve inches and my weight from fifty
to sixty pounds. My xvoight Increased steadily
from the tlmo I was thirty-live , nnd YOU will
be surprised to know that this was done
without my over going Into a gymnasium or
adopting nny ol the practices which nro pro-
crlbcd for such purposes. "
HOW TO 1IKKATIIE.
"I could only use the means within roach
of n blind man , and ono of the principal
monns of increasing my size nnd weight
which I adopted was air , taking a larger nnd
larger quantity Into the lungs. I have cul
tivated breathing ns the basis of llfo , so that
now I suppose I can luunlo and exhale ns
largo n quantity of atmosphere ns any living '
man , That Is the secrnt of the development
of physlquo. to take Into your lungs the
whole amount of air which your lungs nro In

nnd relax the muscles of the abdomen. Then
with your mouth closed nnd your chin raised ,
in order to relieve ail constraint about your
chest , draw in all the air you can without
violence , doing it gradually and without pain
ful cITort. Hold the air as long as you can
nnd breathe- out through the mouth or
nose , in the former cuso with effort. Close
your lips ns soon ns all Is out , and practice
doing all your Inhalations through your nos
trils , never under any circumstances
inhaling through the mouth. I would
rather drink the water loft In n
tlngor bowl at the close of a white house
dinner than to take in ono spoonful of Wash
ington nir through my mouth. Do this breath
ing while tn bed In the morning for live or
ten minutes. This has been my con
stant habit for n number of years.
YOU will remember the bible says :
'God breathed into man's nostrils tha breath
of lifo , nnd ho became a living soul. ' Shake-
spcaro nnd other fatuous men speak of the
nostrils as the only urooor channel to bo used
in breathing , and it Is an uncontradlctcd fact
that the Indians who never breathed through
their mouth were never subject to thousands
of our diseases , until coming In contact with
modern civilization ho was Induced to adopt
the white man's silly method , nnd he nt once
became susceptible to all of these ills of the
Caucasian. In the pulpit the very moment I
need n supply of air I close the mouth , and
the great range and power of my voice I at-
tribnto most largely to the development o-
the lungs through my great breathing capacf
ity."A
"A man once conversing with Dr. Taylor

"Air is my first prescription , " continued
Dr. Mllburn. "Thu biin Is my next , I often
walk about with my hat off in the sun , and it
was a practice of Grotho to do this for an
hour at noon , ilo said it stimulated his in
tellect nnd that there was a vital nnd quick
ening po'wor In thn sun's rays. Thirty years
ago I began to bo bald. My father nnd
younger brother wore as bald us the palm of
your hand when they were forty , but I told
them whoa they Informed mo that 1 was getting -
ting bald that I would never bo so. I had
resolved to prevent it and i did. f never
wear a hat when 1 can help It , and I am not
ns barefooted today on the top of my head ns

wash my face nnd hands. "

"I hnvo n muscular exorcise , n light dumbbell -
boll exercise , " Dr. Mllburn went on , "and
have often used Indian clubs , and In addition
have some gymnastic movements fcr the
arm * , legs , cheat , etc. As to the nmssago
treatment , I suppose I am the most expert
massage operator In this country , and nm
also the best groomed animal in this
respect. Immediately after getting out
of bed , I take n cold , tepid or warm bath , and
rub down vigorously , nnd I spend from ono
to two hours every day In grooming my von-
craulo carcass.
"I used to bo brought constantly In contact
with Henry Ward Bccchcr , nnd other promi
nent cbnracters of largo physliiue , thirty
years or so ago , and they were always bantering -
toring mo about my small vitality. 'Why
don't you laugh and grow fat,1 they would
say. 'Well,11 would reply , ' 1 laugh enough
but don't know how to grow fat. ' Since I
have changed my plan of llfo I have buried
them nil.
"I use horsehair mats in rubbing down. "
ho continued , "and then put on vaseline or
oil and rub Into all parts of my body. Thu
oil taken up by the skin In this way U as
good as food , and It keopi the cuticle In ex
cellent condition. This use of oil was com
mon among the Greeks and Itomans , and you
will find it umong many savnga tribes. "
"How about your eating ! " I asked.
"Of course , " replied Dr. Milburn , "a man
must vary his diet'according to his habits.
If you eat n certain article tbo year round s.it
will certainly glvo you the itch. The diet
should conform to the soason. The duke of
Montrose once put up Itching poles In Scot
land for the benefit of the peasantry , nnd you
know Sandy feeds on oatmeal twelve months
of the year. The things were a subject of
considerable rldlculo but the people appreci :

JUSTICE HRADI.ET OX I.OXOEVITT.
Dr. Mllburn hero attributes his good health
and working powers to his habits of llfo.
Many of our sprvcst old men say that habits
nro little , but the Inherited constitution is
everything. Take for instance , Justice
Joseph P. Bradley of the United States
supreme court , who has , for the last twenty
years been one of the most learrcd men on
the supruino bench , nnd who now docs as
much work ns any man In public
life. Ho was born in 181 ! ) , was
sovontv-oight years old last March ,
aim h.s working hours are from 10 to
12 daily. Thcro is no brighter mind In the
country than his , and his rangoof knowledge
Is as wide as that of an)1 other man on the
bench. I mot him at Deer Park during the
past summer and chatted with him as to his
health. Said ho : "I have boon n worker all
my lifo , anu during n great part of my career
I have put in from twelve to sixteen hours
out of twenty-four. It is my habit now when
the court is in session at Washington to put
In four hours on my cases before I go to the
capltol. I rise early , take my broakfa.it and
work from 7 until 11. The court meets at 12
nnd I sit there and pass upon cusps until .
I then return to my house upon the adjourn
ment of the session of the court , and take a
couple of hours relaxation until dinner time.
Sometimes I take a nap. After dinner 1
usually spend the evening in my library ,
where I work until I gut sleepy. I vary m.v
work with philosophical or mathematical
calculations , and sometimes take a rest by
reading n good novel. I am very fond ol
good fiction , and I have a natural tendency
toward mnthmnatics ,
TUB COXSTITl'TIOS' HVBIIVTIIISO.
"I attribute my health nnd working pow
ers , " said the Judge , "to an excellent consti
tution , added to a moderate degree of tem
perance in eating and drinking. My lather
was a farmer , and ho married n farmer's
daughter. Ho was eighteen years old when
ho was married and m.v mother was seven
teen , and I was the first child and apparently
inherited the vigor of both parents. I was
brought up on n farm and spent a part ol
every year upon ono until 1 was twenty.
After I went to college 1 spent my vacations
in toaclilnc. nnd I also did considerable sur
veying. Whllo I was ftt college I studied six'
teen hours n day , and 1 think that I worked
too hard during my early life , and ospoclall >
during a period of my practice of the low. ;
was very ambitious to succeed , nnd when 1
had Important cases I often sat up untl
morning studying them. Ono night
I remember well , and It was this
experience that led mo to bo moder

Towards morning I was shocked to find m >

think at all upon the case and I feared that

symptoms of it. I took a wet towel and laic
it over niy head and wont to bed nnd slop
about tbrco hours. When I awoke I found
my mind nil right , but I decided not to risk
such n thing again. I have since been moro

Another Washington septuagenarian , al
most as old , nnd fully us active , both physi
cally nnd mentally , as Judge Hrndloy , Is
Hon. Horatio King , who was postmaster
general In Buchanan's cabinet , and who now ,
a cencrntlon later. Is as fond of Washington
literary nnd social life ns ho was then. I met
him on the street the other day , nnd my first
question was us to bis habits of excorciso.
Said ho :
"I am n great believer in walking , nnd I
think ono of tuo secrets of my good health is
in that I have never owned n horse or car
riage. I walk until I got tired , and then it I
have not reached my destination I tauo n
htroot car. As to my other rules of llfo , I
don't really know that 1 have any except
these of ordlnnry temperance. I have always
been accustomed to plain living. My father
was an independent farmer In Now England
ami I was brought up on a farm. Wo had
plenty of meat and potatoes and good bread
nnd this was enough for uswithout overload-
lug our stomachs. Wo were not very particu
lar as to what wo drank , nnd I remember we
always laid in a barrel of line old MedforJ
rum at harvest time. Well , I have kept up
my love for plain living all my life , and I
suppose my health has been the better for It.
I enjoy llfo now , and I have always done so.
I keep no regular hours , go to dinners nnd
receptions. and enjoy them , nnd I used to
smoke tobacco and was fond of it. I found ,
however , that it was not good for mo , and I
gave It up. "
1 nskod the noted lawyer , Mr. Latrobe of
Baltimore , who Is very nearly if not quite
ninety years of ago , null whoso health is ap
parently perfect , his 'receipt ' for perpetual
youth. Said ho : "I attribute ! my long llfo
to nn excellent constitution and the only nd-
vlco I would glvo to yoilng men would bo to
avoid the use of tobacco. I hnvo not usrd It
now for twonty-Uvo yqAr * , nnd I stopped it
because I found it was Injuring my health.
As to my other hauiW of llfo , I have been
rather generous to myself than otherwise. 1
have oaten good dinners , nnd hnvo given
dinners. I don't believe generally In the
mortification of the Utah and 1 bclicvo In
