I TO IN8UWB LONGEVITY. |
An English Member of Parliament's Diet
»t M Team Old.
Mr. Isaac Holden, M. P., is 88. lie
appears about 60, and in the small
hours of the morning, when the house
of commons is having a late sitting,, he
looks fresher than anyone else. The
Bradford Observer has lately published
an interview in which Mr.'Holden ex
plains the way to live long. The normal
duration of life, it would seem, is 120
years, being five times the period that
it takes for the bones to harden. If
people consume much lime their
arteries become ossified and the
capillary vessels blocked up. If their
brains are cut into when they arc
reaching midlife it is like cutting into
a sandbag. To arrive at a normal old
age a man must take a good
deal of walking exercise and .
see that the . air is frequently
changed in the rooms in which he
lives. Starch diet produces acidity in
the blood, and has to be converted into
sugar of fruit before it is assimilable.
A meat diet is also undesirable. The
meals must be regularly taken, and
eating and drinking mnst not go to
gether. Mr. Holden’s daily bill of fare
is as follows: For breakfast and sup
per he takes one baked apple, one
banana, one orange, twenty grapes
and a biscuit made from banana flour
with butter. His midday meal consists
of three ounces of beef or mutton, re
duced to powder in a mortar an 1 than
passed through a colander, with a half
cupful of soup occasional!/ poured
over it. Theory is all very well, but
Mr. Holden has proved his case by his
health and vigor at a period when
most men are, to say the least, verging
on old age.
A WARM SPOT.
Vhe Pleasures of lmagrtniitlun to a Poor
Little Fellow.
In tho process of cleaning the streets
of recently fallen snow the laborers in
New York found it necessary to heap
the snow up in big drifts or piles at in
tervals along some of the more fre
quented streets. In the course of a
day or so these drifts became black
with thq soot of the city, but the drifts
were snow just the same. One after
noon there was a little boy found
seated in the mi Idle of one of these
drifts with his hands in his pockets 1
and his toes cuddled together.
“Why .are yoa sitting there, my.
lad?” asked a passer.
“Cause I was trun down,” answered
the boy.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Why, see, I went inter do saloon on
de corner to get warm, and I just got
me back agin t'lie registrum. or what-,
ever dqy calls it, where de heat comes
out, an’ dey fired me, see?"
“But didn't you get warm, and if
not, why are you out here in the
snow?”
“Why, yer see, boss, dis here is de
warmest spot I kin find. You don’t
know how good it is if you haint tiied
it. Yer just settle down hero, like as
if yer was in yer easy chair at your
libry, wid a fire in front of yer and,
though it's cold at first, you don’t
know, boss, how warm it seems aftcl
two or tree minutes.”
Poor chap!
SAVED!
Rescued From Heath by the Falsa Tall
of His Horse.
“When I see tho docked tails of the
horses of the fashions ole,” said Ar
mand Cherie of Detroit, as he sat in
the hotel rotunda, “I recall the ludi
crous escape from the Paris insurgents
of 1848 of one Captain Prebois. Tho
captain had on his person important
instructions, and had just turned the
corner of the Place Vendome, when a
band of insurgents seized the reins of
his horse and asked him to surrender
the papers ho was carrying. He re
fused. ‘Down with him! Shoot him!’
they cried.
“He put spurs to his horse and it
plunged and reared. One of the in
surgents got hold of tho animal’s tail,
and immediately there was a loud
roar of laughter. The now hilarious
mob let the horse gallop off, and so
Captain Prebois escaped. He rode a
magnificent thoroughbred. Its noble
and splendid symmetry of form had
been every morning the admiration of
thp loiterers in the Bois de Boulogne.
When it galloped off, leaving its tail
in the hands of the ragamuffin who
had seized the appendage, there was
nothing to do but to laugh, for it was
a false tail that this proud and pre
sumably faultless horse had been wear
ing all the time.”
Is That Diamond Gennlue?
Here is an easy means of determining
whether a supposed diamond is genuine
or not. Pierce a hole in a card with a
needle, and then look at the hole
through the stone. If false you will
see two holes, but if you havo a real
diamond, only a single hole will ap
pear. You may also make the test in
another way. Put your linger behind
the stone and look at it thiough the
diamond as through a magnifying
glass. If the stone is genuine, you will
be unable to distinguish the grain of .
the skin, but with a false stone this
will be plainly visible. Furthermore,
locking through a real diamond, the
setting is never visible, whereas it is
with a false stone.
niches to a Pauper.
An inmate of the Lambeth work
house named Sheridan has been identi
fied as the heir to a fortune, in real
and personal property, of £300,000.
This fortune was awaiting him when
he entered the workhouse as a pauper
several years ago, but the lawyers of
the estate could not locate him until
last week. A sister of Sheridan’s
father, a Mrs. Blake, died in 1883, in
testate. leaving property aggregating
£300,000 in value, and Sheridan is
found to be the next of kin. Two
sons whom he has not seen for some
yaars he believes to he in America
ANOTHER ENOCH ARDEN.
HU WIN CUU HU lib InsarMM, tat
He Bobs Up Alcala.
A romantic affair has just come to
light in Essex. Seven years ago Ilenry
Chaney, a sailor belonging to Wlvon
hoe, in that county, left England on
board of the ship Ironopqlis of Lon
don. The ship was wrecked and most
of the crew were lost* including, as
there was good reason to suppose,
Chaney. An insurance on his life was
paid by the Prudential oompany, and
death allowances were also granted by
the Fishermen’s Aid society and the
Foresters. Mrs. Chaney bravely set to
work to earn a living for herself and
her children, whom she brought up
most respeotably. Last spring two of
the daughters thought they saw their
father in the street at Wlven
hoe, while quite recently an
other daughter, who is now a
lady’s-maid in London, wrote home
to say that she had met her father, and
that each had recognized the other.
Soon after this the missing man wrote
a letter to his wife, describing the
wreck of the Ironopolis and saying
that he was picked up by a passing
steamer and taken to Brussels inflrma
ry, and thence to an asylum, where ho
was detained till last April. He then
returned to London, and visited Wiven
hoe with the intention of seeing his
wife, but being told (which was not
true) that his wife was on the point of
getting married to another man, he did
not fulfill his intention. In conse
quence of the accidental meeting with
his daughter in London, Chaney has
been reunited to the family from which
he has been so long separated. He is
now employed at a warehouse in
Cheapside.
SHE WAS PAST.
Haw a Cow Was Made PrUoner In a Hol
low Tree.
Owen Glacey of Summit, Wash.,
missed a very valuable cow last week,
and spent several days in searching for
her without finding any trace of her
whereabouts, and had about concluded
that she had been stolen when one of
the children discovered the animal not
over fifty yards from the houde. She
had wandered into a hollow cedar
tree, presumably to get out of the sun,
and in pushing her way for fifty feet
into the log she passed through a
space where it had splintered in fall
ing with the end of the splinters
headed in her direction.
Ofa course, when she attempted to
back out her exit was effectually
qjppped, the splinters having sprung
back. And there she was as securely
imprisoned as any of the repentant
sinners at Walla Walla. When discov
ered she had been there five days.
Mr. Glacey had to cut the log in front
of her before she could be taken out,
nothing the worse for her imprison
ment, except for her enforced fast
When we state that the cow would
weigh'1,500 pounds our readers Will be
able to form an idea of the size of the
cedar timber “in this neck of the
woods.”
A MAN AT HER FEET.
Why ‘Women Are Always so Soiplcloua
of Each Other.
“Why is it that women are always
so jealous and suspicious of each
other?” asks the professor *in a plain
tive voice of the lady With (whom he
had been dancing.
“Oh, because they know each other
so well. Now, there’s that Kate Law
son. Do you know what she told
young Anderson to-night?”
“No. Please enlighten me.”
“She said she had one of the most
eligiUe,young fellows in town at her
feet, ouch a whopper, when every
body knows she’s never had a single
offeri”
*’I can prove the truth of Miss
Lawson's assertion,” said the professor,
in his cold, calm voice, that sounded
like a brook gurgling over broken
glass.
“Oh, were^you the mam?” spitefully.
“Nov” nothin the least disconcerted,
“she was buying her wbdding shoes,
and the man at her feet was the clerk,
who was fitting, her.”
“Her weddiiyg shoes! You don’t
mean to say that that girl has at last
caught a husband?"
“So they say.”
“Who is the unhappy man?”
“Myself.”
Oldeit of Time-Piece*.
The most curious of time-keepers in
the w*orld, perhaps, are those used by
somd South sea islanders Taking the
kernels of the nut of the oandle tree,
they wash and string them on the rib
of a palm leaf. This is placed in an
upright position and the upper kernel
lighted. As the kernels are Of the
same substance, each billing for a cer
tain time setting fire then to the ker
nel below. To mark divisions of time
the native ties bits of bark cloth along
the string at regular intervals.
Fashions Not Blade for the Old.
Elderly women often complain, with
h considerable amount of justice, that
the fashions seem to be intended only
for the young, and that those women
who have passbd 40 are left more or
less to their own devices. Few fashion
papers contain any designs or sugges
tions for the attire of women of middle
age, and a newspaper devoted to this
object would doubtless be regarded as
a boon by all those many women who
are sensible enough to bear their years
becomingly andi gracefully.
AlRer Willie.
Ludicrous deliverances are common
in advertisements, especially in those
of a personal niature. nereis one that
appeared not Kong ago in a Ntew York
paper: “Willie, return to your dis
tracted wife and frantic children! Do
yon want to‘hear, of your old .mother’s
inloide? You will, if you do not let ua
mow wjjereyyou are. Anyway,,send
