As the weatcring sun sinks to Us setting
s whtte hnircd old man comes out from
his library and eft himself mt the alone
steps that lead from the caatle front to
the lawn , lie carries In his hand a boon
In which , as soon as he has aeated blmself ,
lie Is completely nhaorbcd. The old man la
hlr. Gladstone , the book he is alulying Is
one of the Innumerable volumes which he
1s devouring In the prosecution of the study
to which lie ) ina devoted his closing years ,
and he seals hhnsclf on the steps In order
that hla Impaired eyesight may catch and
utlilzo the boat rays of the settlug auu.
Time old stalcaman , scholar and aludent to
the last , Is now S6 years of age , but his In
lotleetual vigor Is not nbated , nor has he
lost the sinewy grip with which ha fastens
upon the suljects to which he devotes his
attention.
No one who reads the stretnlots argument
with which Mr. Gladatono nutmnarizes the
reasoning of Bishop Ihitler on the future
life Is conscioua of any weakening in the
vigorous dialetle vvhlch has so often been
employed with brilliant success In the
ilouse of Commons.
In that polemic Mr. Gladstone Is all
there , but as a recent visitor to fluwarden
remarked , "Although Mr , Gladstone Is Mr.
Uladatmie still , when the eye flashes as of
old in keen debate , or when you listen to
the Inexhaustible stream of his vivacious
cenversatlou , you ore regretfully compelled
to admit that it is but a tempcrary triumph
of nilml over matter ; when ten minutes
later you sea hlim again In the corner
of the i w In Hawarden church , dimly
visible ht the subdued light of the chancel ,
you are bound to change , however rc-
luctahtly , your recent ophdon. It Is Indeed -
deed a very old man who sits there , with
bent back amid pale wrinkled face , holding
his book close to ids eyes , apparently no-
able to find or to follow the text. A stray
auneam , while as sunbeams usually are ,
falls upon hint from behind , the Ivory white
of the bald majestic head gleam In the
light and time few slivery hairs round the
base of time head , from a striking contact
of the gllttering gilt edges of the
book he hnlds The day is far spent , and
you turn sadly from the contemplation of
the sad , quiet figure , " Frail thought he
1s , as Indeed he may well be , weighed down
as lie Is with the burden of four acre years
and six , still Mr. Gladstone is far amid away
the most potent personality In Ureat .
lie had retired from politics , but until
death has cloned that eager eye and stilled
that eloquent tongue , nothing can dim-
hush or Impair his authority ; lie must ever
remain the first among us all ,
WHAT IS Mlt. GLAUSBTONF. S SECRET ?
\Vhnt Is Mr , Giadstone's secret ? How
Is It that lie has preserved uninlpalred for
eighty-six years , both his physical and men-
tai powers ? That he has douo so Is admitted -
mitted , although the body is at last ex-
hfbltiug sotnesvhmat of the Iiarmltlcs of old
age. Mr , Gladstone Is still vigorous , alert ,
resourceful , capable of reading and writ-
lug for hours together , and also able on
occasion to take tong walks'C hear a
great deal of the eight-Hours day and the

inch , do not wish to trouble the undertakmr
bcfcre their time.
Mr. Gindstomme started well , lie wns born
of Leahthy stock in comfortable circnilt-
stancea , with a constitution of Iran. He had
oeormnotr driving power and physical eu-
etgy ; the evidence of which may still be
seen palpable to rill men In time massive
fonation of the back of his head. From
hla parents he had every advantage of bored-
Ily and environment fromu his youth up.
These timings cannot be bespoken by anyy one ,
and It is well , therefore , and It will he Moro
profitable , to devote attention to the moth-
0d3 with vvhlch he was early endowed ,
IIIS STRONG RELIGIOUS FAITH ,
The first thing that forces itself upon our
attention is the fact that Mr. Gladstone
from Iola youth up has contrived iii sonic
way r another to appropriate for himself
all the advantages which come from a sturdy
std assured faiths Ii the hovcrnment of the
universe. Looking at it altogether apart
from the question of time truth r falsehood
of relIgIous belief , there is no doubt that
from a purely hygienic point of view a maim
tvho feels that there Is outside of hmtmn amid
above blot , n nmoral order controlled by sonic
being infinitely wiser than himself , has ad.
vantages from the pohit of view of a life
i Insurance society , greatly superior to those
I possessed by a man who has no such con-
solation.
Mr. Gladstone has probably had his doubts
like most Wren , but they Imm e been as waves
to a strong swimmer , which carry him onward -
ward to Isla goal , Mr , Gladstone Is ono of
these met vvho are never so couvhtced of
J the truth of anything as when they are set
to work to defend It against the arguments
of its opponents , and Mr. Gladstone's faith
has vvaxe.l all the stronger because , like
the oak plaited on n w9nd-swept hill , it has
been compelled to drive Its routs deeper hi
the soil because of the tempest , which hurls
through Its branches , Over the mantel-piece
ht Mr. Ghadstoe's bedromn , there Is emblazoned -
blazoned a text width explains a good deal
of time tratqulllity which has saved Mr.
Gladatono from nervous cxhmaustlomm. Time

mlzing the worry of life rind lubricating the
rapidly revolving wheels of this Human
dynamo , Mr. Gladstone had various habits
which conduced greatly to his longevity and
physical vigor , Flrsl of these unquestlon-
ably Is the gift of sleep , a gitt ho shared
in common with Napoleon and other notable
commanders In history , Mr. Gladatono , I
throughout the whole of his life , had sleep
at Instant comnaud' ; he could go to sleep
at a momeul'a notice , and what in more
remarkable , wake up bright and fresh
within ten mlmmtes of going to sleep. lie
has always been a famous sleeper ; hls
niglmliy allowance of sleep Is fixed at seven
hours , Is a man who hikes sleep and could
enjoy an extra hour , brit the lmablt of getting
up after seven hours' sleep has been formed
and Mr. Gladstotto adheres to It.Vhen
Mr. Gindstono lays his ) lead on his pillow
he Is nble to nhut his mind off from all the
business of life ; when he goes to bed it is
to sleep amid he sleeps with all his might.
Bright used to lay' awake for hours
thinking out. his speeches amid the curse of
Insomnnla has played havoc with inure than
one prominent statesman on both sides of
time Atlantic. I do not think there ever was
a lime when Mr. Gladatono could not
sleep ,
After ida faculty for aleop must be
tloned the metlmdical regularity , time almost -
most automatic perslslencc wIth which ite
ndhered to habits which he had fotmd bene-
fleial to his hcaltlm. Mm Gladatoue's body was
Ilke a chronouleter ; it vas adjusted to a
eertalu time and kept so year It and year
out without a shadow of variation. Ills orderly -
derly nilud possessed a horror of umipuncht-
ality , mud the endless mmeertaluly that fol.
Iowa time hick of fixed rule. Not that Ito wan
n martinet or a pedant , hit he
took care of his health : A saying of
his that every piece of meat should
be bitten th Irly-ts o times Is ome of time
nlaiy Instances which might be cited as to
the attention he hays to small things.
NO BAD HABITS ,
Mr , Gladstone , although not a teetotaler ,
has hover emulated time exploits of bonto of
hits more bibulous predecessors , If Mr.
Gladntone is not a teetotaler , lie is at least
a total abstainer from tobacco ; lie neither
snuffs , chews or simokes , either pipe , cigar
or cigarette. Notldng has luduced hlnt to
yield to the seductions of time fragrant
weed. Another quality of his svas time
rare gift of concentration. The bump of
concentration , must , If there 1s anything
in phrenology , be enormously developed ,
"Whatever the work may be lie has ht
hand , said a recent visitor at Hawarden ,
"it takes hold of lilm so entirely that he
has to be roused from it as most are roused
( runt sleep , " Tills enabled butt to be almost -
most totally IndhmTerent to his surroundings ,
a facutty simply Invaluable to lint , ss'hen
as leader of time House of Cnmmmons , he
lied to sit for hours IIstening to the
monotonous drone of Irrelevant debate.
Whyhst abut to concentrate hlnaclf so
absolutely upon the subject in hand as to
be oblivious of all the world , he wan capalne
with the utmost ease of varying hits sub-
jects. It has long been his habit aivnys
to have three ( woks la readhig at time seine
time , aid with mil his strenuousness , Mr.
Gladstone is well aware of the advantage
of occasionally uastrluging time bow. He
reads hovels w Ith hearty gusto , and Mss
Friedrlctis , iii her charming little volume ,
"Jir. Gladstone in the Evening of His Days , "
mnentioims that when he was worn out with
several hours' steady continuous work at
Indexing Bishop Butler , he recovered the
lone of his mind by regaling himself In the
evening with "Robinson Crusoe , " amid "The
Aruhtan Nights' hhmtertalnntenls , "
liii READS BUT ONE NEWSPAPER ,
Another thing which might perhaps be
classified as merely another phase of time
same faculty , but one which nevertheless
ltolped to prolong hla vigor , was that he
sedulously eschatved time practice of promiscuous -
cuous newspaper reading. Arthur Balfour ,
time present header of the House of Coin.
mona , lies always Wade a point of never
reading a newspaper at all unless lee is
compelled to do so , a rule which has certainly -
tainly Its advantages , but whielt could
hardly be adopted by any one unless au-
dactous or less happily constituted than
tar. Balfour. lie told me once that not only
did it save a great deal of time to let you'
newspaper reading ho done by other people ,
but it was so much more interesting to hear
things at first hamd for yourself Instead
of taklmmg them second Laid from news.
paper reporters , Mr , Gladstone , In time moat-
ter of newspaper reading , stood rnldtvay between -
tween Mr. Balfour and Mr , Brhght , Mr.

word In a morning mmowepaper , devoted
regularly tvo hours a day to Its Perusal.
Jir Glndslonc usually reads one newspaper

1118 CONVERSATIONAL I'OWEIiS ,
II u almost impossible to start any sub
ject of conversation in which Mr. Gladstone -
stone cannot more than hold his own. Admirals -
mirals in the navy have told ma how
amazed time ) have been when seated next
him at dinner tiey have ventured to raise
some questitm relating to lima service ,
Mr. Oladatotme , they said , always scented to
know more about it then they did , at ( cast
whenever It was a question of atntistics ,
even although the statistics related to the
nunber of stokers In time fleet or the average
u Ight and weight of sailors in time navy.
"ere Is a tradition to the effect that on
0 occasion when M. Chevmllier , the
linent trench econoullst , wan Invited to
owning street to breakfast , he carne away
sadly dlsnppolnted , far Mr. Gladstone and
Mr. llright happened to raise mho subject

branches , with a wonderful array of personal -
sonal experience and literary rofcrenee ,
which bewildered time Frenclmtan , who at
first vsas under the allusion that time ptlule
mimisler and the great free trader were
engaged In the disettssion of the cant laws ,
IIIS INTELLECTUAL VIGOR UNABATED.
Wide as are the interests of this life , Mr.
Gladstone is miot content therewith , and he
Is devoting his declining years to a cc-
stalelnent of Ills theory of him next life.
The last post card 1 had front imimmi , and
