HOW LONG SHOULD MAN LIVE? Minimum Limit Plnced by a Scientist at 140 Yenra. It Is a sad commentary upon our (cholm-shlp and our civilization that ;he average life of a man to-day ihould lie somewhere between 30 and Ci years, says What to Fat. With nil in r scientific advance and our knowi ige of hygiene and sanitation we ave cut down the life of man to nenr y one-sixth since the days of Ahrn Jani n ml Isaac. We have it on good Uithorlty that Abraham lived 17,r ears mid that Isaac died at the ripe lid age of ISO, being "full of years tnd of days." Job's life wns full of rials, bolls and vicissitudes and yet ie was 120 years old when he gave ip the. ghost. Trof. Ell Metchnlkoff of She Pasteur Institute has fixed the ilnlmtim limit of man's life nt 140 tears. Having lived a natural and Iclentiflc life from birth, Indeed, man ni-efl not eiect to snuffle off Lis mor tal coil at HO yearn.

In man it is nothing hu a death trap, one Paris hospital hav ing treatel 443 cases of appendicitis ii live years. I And what is the scientific conciusior i from all this? Man cannot wait foi his great intestine to disappear in I hi course of the aces, and he doe no care to run the risk of having it cui out. Ami yet It is the theory of Ivof MetcLiiikoff that the phenomena o senility and old age is due directly t the microbes of the large Intestines which are continually breaking dowi the higher cells of our structure. Tin only course is to fight the iutestina microbe and as there are 128,000.K, uxi.ooo of him formed each day it wil he seen that the Job is no summer da; picnic.

CITY BOY'S ADVANTAGES. A New-Yorker Suya Tlicy Are Alieu if the Country lioy'ti. At the annual meeting of the I'm versify f-'ettlement Society, of Ne York, President John II. Finley of th College of the City of New York, de livered a speech which has arous o considerable comment and discussio-i In the course of his speech, which was along the line of an ardent defense of the city boy advantagi s, Dr. Finley said: "The chances of the clty-bnrn arc greater than the country-born. If you knew about 1he life of the country boy, how he has to sleep in an indicat ed room In winter with the tempera ture degrees below zero and in tlis sumcr time work In the fie ds in the fierce heat of the sun from ten ft fourteen hours a day, you would prol ably see that the city boy has an im mense advantage. "They tell that the hard work of the country boy makes him a splendid man physically, of the country hoys 1 knew fully one-half are under the sod they plowed or are old men in the village streets and at the ago of 40. I believe that the best man is develop ed through association and stuggle, and not In the couniry solitude. The farmer's boy ii caught in the endl.'ss circle where he raises corn to feed hogs, to buy land to raise more corn to feed more hogs to buy more land to raise more corn to feed more hogs. "Of course the city-horn may substi tute stocks for crops In an endless chain of anxiety, but the city hoy of New York has at hand the history or the world, as a lesson, and the voices of the greatest men within the reach of his ears rather than the cricket and the country night sounds. There arc dirty streets and dark rooms in the city, hut they are Illuminated by nnihi tion, and even these dirty streets are nh dear in after years as tbe country is to the successful farmer's hoys." An Appropriate Present. Little Mary and Iten had been great ly exercised over the approaching ,'in nlversary of the parental wedding day. They had overheard so much discus sion of the subject flint they suppos ed that numerous presents would ho. quite the order of the festival, and Pen, with the responsibility of his eleven years, proposed that they se cure their own pennies and "buy a nice present for mamma and papa." Mary gladly agreed, and with great secrecy they made their preparations. With a dollar they ran away one day and with mueff excitement made their purchase, which was safely hidden un til the Important event came off. When the presents were exhibited their's proved no less interesting than more expensive gifts there was "a beau tiful picture," as they both assured their parents. Sure enough, there were two splendid lions In a large cage, and under them the inscription, "A Life Sentence." No Sympathy.
