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.

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!
