A HEALTHY MAN. Here Are the Polnta That Go ta Make a Centenarian. Here are tho points of a healthy man. If you have them all you may, barring | accidents, count on being a centenarian. If you have most of them, you'U reach ft ripe old age, but even if you have only a few don't be alarmed, for many apparently crazy human machines last a surpria* Ingly long time. First, your body and limbs should b? plump, but the plumpness should be at the firm and muscular, not the fleshy type. Tour figure ought to be erect, and, whether 1 you are tall or short, well proportioned.. Length without breadth is a very bad thing in a man, for there is no room for vital organs large enough to thoroughl/ perform their duties. Your step should be springy and elastic, your gait firm and easy. These things lnI miicnloo r\t nnnA nnnlltrv ftnrt nnrva of good tone. Your eye should be bright and neither prominent nor hollow. Bright eyes show that the circulation of blood in the brain is good. Your complexion should be clear and fresh. It is usually not well with- you when your faoe is pale, sallow, florid or subjeot to sudden flushings. But in thif matter your occupation has great influence, and you might have the worst possible complexion and be in perfect health. ?5ut that, 01 course, is uie exception, uoi the rule. Tour head should nob be very largo, or at least If it is large your neck, shoulder* and chest ought to correspond in size. If you feel your pulse, it shtfuld be regular 5 if it drops a beat now and again or boot* ery fast and excitedly after the least exertion or emotion then the heart is weak. Your breathing should be tranquil and in* audible. Any sounds mean that the pas* sages are more or less clogged. You should not know you nave a stomach?that ia to eay, aa a role. Of oouxm there axe times when that organ gets out of order in the healthiest individual, and then it ia always sure to make its owner aware of its existence. You should always, except when the weather is bitterly cold, feel comfortably warm through your whble body, even to the tips of the flngcrt and toes. Otherwise something is wrong with the oiroolation or the heat producing apparatus. You should have sound sleep, without dreams or nightmares, and it should not last too long or too short?say, eight t* eight and a half hours eveiy night. Your voice should not be hoarse, and you should be a stranger to sore throats. V/-1T1T AnnAtlta flhnuld not be too sreat or too small, while you should not be a sufferer from headaches, giddiness or neuralgia, and, of course, you should not hav? palpitations or faintings or varicose veins. If you answer to the above description, you have neither disease of the brain, spinal oord, heart, lungs, liver, stomach, muscles or nerves, and you are in as perfect health as it is possible for human beings to be. But at the same time many a round shouldered, narrow chested, thin and sallow man is as tough as steel, works hard and lives till he is almost tired of thi world, and, of course, even the healthiest of us must go through a course of oolds, coughs, headaches, dyspepsia attacks and the like. Still, if your chest id small in proportion to the rest of your body you are likely to have less stamina, and you should not overdo such things as football, oyoling oj even brain work.?New York World.

Fate was inieed against him now, and his career, I light and hopeful as It looked a short time ago, seemed sadly dull and somber now, and why? Because of that lovely faoe that was turned away from him so petulAntly, because of the mocking words that fell like little strokes of a whip across his loving heart. And while ho thought the muslo in tbe distance ceased its soft throbbing, the danoe was over, and he had had his answer, he supposed. He would B^y one more thing before they parted, he determined suddenly. Hs would have at any rate a clear understanding with tbe woman he loved so madly. And after that then the venture?to the right or to the left! He put out his hand to stay her as she would have risen. "I want to ask yon one thiDg more," he said, so gently that her wandering attention was fixed on him onoo again.

Had she ' conquered at last?everything, every h?pe^ i every ambidon at her foet? ] "Then," she said, her voloe tender with < feeling and her soft eyelids drooping above | the brilliant eyes, "then I should say no . more." And her tones trembled into si- . lenoe, and her white hands played nerv* ously with the violets at the bosom of her 1 delicate gown. 1 I The snow fell outside very softly, wray- ' ping the sordid city in tenderest white 1 ooverlngsand transforming it into a king- I dom of crystal and pearl. Inside one of I the greatest of Its many fair houses there i were revelrv and the ripple of silvery i voices and the ring of tuneful laughter. , One of ^he land's richest men entertain- ( ed his guests and feasted them right royally, bo that they spoke increasingly wall of him and of his entertainment and of < the beauty of his peerless wife. I She stood in the groat drawing room In purest white, with diamonds on her snowy | neck and beautiful stars in her golden | hair, and around her a little company of i the gayest and wittiest and cleverest kept j her oourt and pleased her with their sal- , lies until her clear laugh rang out above i all the gentle badinage around. 1 The husband heard the silver ripple of I laughter, and it awoke some of the old ' thoughts, the did memories that he had | striven to lay by, as a child lays by its ; dear old toys when playing days are over j I Hnnn with And all of a sudden he felt very weary \ and tired?tired of the lights and the scent ' i of the great banks of roses that his wlfs 1 had ordored the skillful florist to arrang* 1 ?tired of the muslo and the faces and the crowd, and he slipped away unnotioed | to his quiet study and eat there awhile to < dream. , He had gone Into the business that he | had heartily disliked?for Marguerite? and It had proved a sucoess in his bands. . | They spoke of him for a knighthood this year.

(trass Should Be Removed Between Rotd way and Ditch?Kaln Can Be Made Us* fal?Height of Crown?Simple Engineer log Principle* of Road Building. The Spectator has reoently Iiad evidence of the enlightening influence ol travel. For years he has had occasion to walk, to drive and to wheel over certain piece of country road, a piece ol road as bad as a combination of mud and sand and sods and loose stones can make a road. Last summer be found this piece of road not only good, but excellent and improving all the time, until in the autumn it was as good a flirt road as any one could want The other day the Spectator chanced to meet the overseer of the district?the lame overseer, by the way, who has had gharge for 25 years past. "I wish tc I - W^ar f 71 u Wn " STONE CULVERT. (Prom Good Roads.] jongratulate you, Mr. Overseer," said the Spectator, "on the good road you have made. It is fine, fine I" The ragged face of the overseer was wreathed in smiles, and hia cheeks glowed with pleasure. Then, as he spoke, his look t)ecame serious. "Well, I tell you how it was, Mr. Speotator. Last fall I took a drive down to Blank"?naming a large town 60 miles away and three counties on?"ana [ seen some roatls that made me ashamed 22 the old mudholes np here, and I says to myself, 'If ever I work the roads of my district again, I will have good roads too.' So I asked 'em how they did it, rod, by George, they tell me that they iidn't do nothin but keep the stones raten the road, keep the sods off, and apen np the ditches so as the roads wouldn't wash. And that's all I done this spring, bat I kept on a-doin it, and though we had the worst washes this mmmer I ever see, the roads in my district have been better than they ever was afore. Next year," he oontinued, "I mean to tell the town committee that I will cake a mile more of road, and iion't want no more money than I been jettin." Now, on this little excursion from home, this honest old farmer had learned the real secret of road making, and he had had the Eense to apply it when be resumed ^vork in his district Water Is at once the most destructive and the most beneficial force that the road maker and the road repairer has to contend with and to count on. If it be harnessed, o to speak, it can be made to keep the rnnria rIaati nnd flmnoth and hard: if it I be uncontrolled, it ii sure to wash the . roads into rats and make them all but Impassable. Drainage it the most essen- | tial feature of a road, and in most instances this is simplicity itself. I In the Spectator's experience he has | rarely come across a country road maker who did not believe that the sods taken I out of the side ditches Bhould be pat in* to the road to be ground up into dust by ' the wagon wheels, converted into mud by the rains and finally washed back Into the ditches again. This prooess of road repairing does no good at any time, as the road so worked is usually?indeed, in nine eases out of ten?better when the repairer puts his hartfal hand npon it than at any other time. It is so easy to make a good dirt road and to keep it in order that it seems ever a wonder to the Spectator that in this country, where the people plume themselves upon their ingenuity ana adaptability, they should keep on being itupid in thia very important matter of road repairing. The Spectator knows from actual experience that in the average country neighborhood the roads can be kept in most excellent order ten months in the year with the money that Is now spent on them. If elementary instruction in drainage could be given to the overseers of the roads, then the powers of nature, now only destructive, could be made to do most of the neceatasy work of road repairing. The spring rains can be made to do the work of road acr&pera, and the summer rains will more frequently than not suffice to keep the roads moderately free from dust. A good dirt road shonld have a slight grown, so that the water will drain eaoh way from the center to the side ditch, and there should be no intervening strip of sod between the roadway and the ditch. The second requirement is most important, ac4 it is almost universally disregarded. l?be sod is tougher than dirt, and it also becomes higher. The grass being permitted to grow, its edge forms a ridge wbioh interrupts the drainage, and then, when the rainfall is heavy, there is sure to be a gully above the ditch?a gully which in a little while will extend into the roadway and make it more or less impassable. She crown to a dirt road, or to any road for that matter, should be higher on a grade or hill than on a level Htretch. The rainfall on a hillside runs off with greater velocity and therefore does more damage. Therefore it shonld be diverted from the surface of the road even more quickly at such places than where the grade is level. These few simple engineering principles, it seems to the Bpeotator, could be inoulcated and tht rural population relieved of a very heavy burden without any coat whatever la the first inatanoa -?Outlook SODTHERN THE SOUTH'S 6 Unexcelled Dinning Car Ser Through Pullman Sleepin Convenient Sched Arrival and Dep No. of Trains. 114 Leaves at 10:20 a.
