SECRET OF LONG LIFE. CAN A HEALTHY PERSON PROLONG HIS LIFE TO 200 YEARS? The Theory of "Retarding Vital Consump Hon"?Franklin and the Files-Work the Heart Does?Reoent Experiment In the Partial Vegetarian System Among the various fantastic theories for prolonging life one of the most popular at the end of the eighteenth century was what was called "retarding vital consumption." Maupertuis fancied that a complete sus?tension of vital activity, a sort of tip Van, Winkle sleep, might be produced so as to check self consumption. Bodies in this state could be laid away and then resuscitated after a lansc of two or three eentn ries. Benjamin Franklin even, while living in France, seems to have had faith in this. One day he received some bottles of wine from Virginia. In one of them?only one?were a few dead Hies, which the great philosopher resolved to utilize in and experiment. The month was July, and the imported flies, which had been on a spree in Virginia, had fallen into the native wine and had been in this state shipped to France, where they were exposed to the heat of the French sun. Three hours passed, and the winged Virginians came to life after an apparent death of many weeks. At first a sort of convulsive movement seized them. They began then to use their legs, walked around awile, and seeming to be aware that they were in France immediately concluded to make their toilet by rubbing their eyes with their fore feet, using their hind legs to smooth out their wings. They then flew away to associate with Paris flies. Franklin wrote ot the incident: "Since by such a complete susiwMicinn i)f :ill intiM'iml ns wolf ns nv tcrnal consumption it is possible to produce a pause of iifo and at the same time to pcrservc the vital principle, mi^ht not such a process be employed in regard to man I can imagine 110 greater pleasure than to cause myself to be immersed, along with a few good friends, in w ine and to be again called back to life at the end of ">') or more years by the genial solar rays of my native country, only that 1 may see what improvement the state has made and what changes time has brought with it." n C It was once thought that people died from lack of what physicians called "the vital principle." It is a phrase that has a fine, vague, mysterious sound, hut it really means little or nothing. Or, in other words, it is now conceded that death conies from disintegration, vorv gradual a # ? ' "" o ' often, it is true, in all the bodily orguns, brought about by the all important blood being blocked up by acercsions which close the channels leading from the heart. Most magnificent and most wonderful muscle as the human heart is, k may get clogged in such a way by the earthly salts in the blood as to be unable to perform its regular functions. Then the life fluid cannot he kept in proper circulation. Allowing t'?9 or TO pulsations of the heart?the usual average?every minute, one person has 100,000 heart heats in the space of one day. This means of course, that the heart and arteries are contracted with such power as to keep 50 or 00 pounds of blood in healthy movement. Really it is a wonder that one does not wear out long bofore he usually does. And it forces a new kind of admiration from the thinking man when he sees for the first time a human being who has lasted 100 or 145 years, and whose heart is still going on after all this O O ^ enormous expenditure of force, lhe eyes, cars ami stomach all have a rest, hut the heart keeps on through waking hours as well as through sleep. Pauses between the beats are all the vacation it gets, which seems to be really no rest at all. When one does not dream, even the brain seems to sleep, or at least it gives peace and <piii*t. Much has been written and talked about vegetarianism in relation to health and its effect on long life. It is not claimed, however, by its strict advocates that any of the of the great nntnher of people who have lived to he 100 and over were vegetarians. In fact, most of these centenarians seem to have lived just like common folk who die at 40 or .00. If they had only taken care of thcim selves and kept their blood in good condition, there is no telling but -00 years may have been scored as easily as 100. Natural advantages being so great, as shown by what they did do, a vague sadness overcomes the social philosopher when he thinks of what they might have accomplished under more favorable conditions for the success of the experiment. As to the admitted advantages of a'partial vegetarian system of living, M. Kraiicisipie Sarcey, the famous French critic, has been trying it, and in a communication to one of the Parisian journals gives his experience. Since April, iN'.'d, he has touch no meat. In August of the same year he reports that he is only a moderate vegetarian?that is, he only eschews meat and admits eggs, cheese, butter, milk and li>h to his regimen. Contrary to the expectations of both himself and friends, lie finds that lie is in much more vigorous health and in better working condition under the influence of his new menu than hefore. At first lie naturally felt hungry an hour or two after eating, but after a fortnight the flesh craving passed away, and now lie not only cats at the same hours as before, but consumes much less food. The advantages of the system aro described by him as most remarkable. His mind is clearer, and lie feels more disposed for work. He is no longer sleepy after meals, his brain is fresher, his limbs more elastic, and, more astonishing still, he can stand more fatigue. Formerly he felt the need of stimulants, and now lie has done away with such things. He does not smoke, and he is endeavoring to diminish his coffee supply. Altogether he is enthusiastic. At first it is rather like self-denial, but one gets to like it in time,?Chicago Tribune. The Ideal Voting Woman. Woman in all ages of the world, has been the fanciful ideal of poet and painter. She has been made a demon or an angel just to suit the taste of those who wrote about her, and not according to any real traits of character. But slightly changing the words of Burns, "A woman's a woman for 'a that." The ideal young woman of the nineteenth century is a practical being, though she has lost none of the graces which make her dainty and womanly. In these times when all the professions arc open to her, when she can be as mannish as she pleases in dress and manners and ride?any way she wants to,?without being out of the fashion. I say the first duty of woman is womanliness. It isn't necessary that she should be very learned, but she should understand the philosophy of digestion and the poetry of clear coffee and light biscuits. Among her acquirements in natural science ought to be darning and patching, for like a picture in a frame, she never shows to such perfect advantage any where except in the home-light. (live her all of the fine arts she is capable of learning, but along with sculpture, music and painting teach her something of the beaut y of plain sewing, and of cutting and fitting her own clothes. If 1 were given the commission to paint a picture of "The Ideal Young Woman," I'd paint her seated in a cosy corner and in her hand something to mend. I should bang her hair after the most approved fashion, and I'd put into her eyes a look of inquiry, as though she wanted to learn, of the great outside world. Beauty is the birthright of woman. She has a right to improve that talent which God has given and make it as many fold as possible. In this direction she uses gladly what natural attractions she possesses and scorns no innocent art that adds to her personal charms. Iler dress is always as good as her means will allow, in color modest, in make simple rather than brilliant or elaborate. She is always neat and presentable whether she comes from the parlor, the kitchen or the wash tub, and she always gives her friends the same royal welcome which shows them that sho i? really glad to see them, and that she is ashamed of no duty, however lowly. She is the jewel of her mother's heart, the light of her mother's eyes, the hope of her mother's years, the comfort of her father's life, the stay of her younger sister's steps, and the consolation of her brother's sorrows, the sympathetic companion of his sunshine or shadow, and God bless her, sometime she will be the joy and comfort and centre light of another home, a home of her own. In society she is not a leader, or if so she leads so tactfully that she seems to follow. Self-effacement is her chief accomplishment and her greatest genius is seeing the good in others. She talks well, and listens graciously to those who have no such conversational powers as herself. Where books are concerned she has read only the best, and history and fiction have shared her attention. In religion she is ID fervent, hut not fanatical. In charity she is generous and noble, hut practical rather than over lavish. Her charity extends to her words and manners and she gives good words and smiles without stint after giving all the money her purse can afford. In public she is never ostentatious, hut retiring, self-possessed and modest, .soft-stepped and low-voiced the paths of privilege are all before her, the temples of fame and the gates of hcavoij. arc open to her that she may enter forth in her sweet womanly ways.?FANNIK IIODSON ill Wor<l urn!

Ford as its chief the Bureau of Statistics is doing the most interesting and important work of its history. With the July report of imports and exports is presented a graphic table of immigration for the last ten years. In that time Germanv has been easily first. From no other country have nearly so many immigrants come except once, in 1888, when 103,002 persons eatnc from England, Scotland and Wales. In that year 100,717 German immigrants landed in this country. In the next year the immigration was as follows: Ocrnmny 99,688 England, &c The sources of our new foreign population change from time to time. There was a well-known period beginning before the middle of the century, and following the great famine, when the bulk of the immigration was from Ireland. That period has long since passed and not only is the Irish immigration exceeded by the German but also by that of a number of other countries. In 1885, 1880 and 1887 it was exceeded by the immigration from England, Scotland and Wales. In 1888 it was also less than that from Denmark, Sweden and Norway. In 18D1 it was exceeded also by that of Russia and Poland and Italy. In the fiscal year 1804 these countries were all ahead of Ireland except the Scandinavians, whose immigrants numbered about POO fewer than the Irish mmigrants. It is interesting to note that the Irish and the Germans come here for homes and bring their families with them. In 1808 the Irish women immigrants outnumbered the men by about 1,500, indicating that domestic service in this country has more attractions to the peasant girls than day labor has for unmarried Irishmen. Of the 05,3(51 Germans who came to this country in that year 5-1,304 were men and 41,007 were women?a large proportion. It is clear that the Italians, Hungarians and Bohemians come here for the purpose of making as much as possilde bv their labor and then returning to their native countries. The im migration irom tnese last ana tnc other countries was divided between tlie sexes as follows: Men. Women. Hungary nml lSoliemia 20,000 8,050 Oilier A us: i in 21,183 y,4Ul Italy 67,757 15,130 Itu^Miaml l'olatnl 35,1104 21,528 Sc'intlmavin 30,540 20,380 Hugliind, \c 35,732 24,121 Assuming that the immigration of o ~ women indicates a permanent movement and that those who come here with their families intend to abide in the country and t?? become American citizens, the people of the different countries may Ik? arranged as to their permanence in the following order: 1, Ireland; 2, (term any; 3, Scandinavia; 4, England, Scotland and Wales; 5, Russia and Poland; G, Austria, including Hungary and Bohemia; 7, Italy. In other words the people whom we consider least desirable and most dangerous to our institutions are evidently least inclined to make their homes in this country and become permanent additions to our population. As is well known, immigration was much lighter in 1804 than it had been in any previous year for a long time. In 1*01 if was 5?>0,310; in 1802, <>23,084; in 1803, 502,017; in 1804 it was only 311,404. The falling off was by far the greatest in the Slav immigration. The decrease in the number arriving from Russia and Poland alone was from 117,002 in 1802 to 30,124.?]Y. Y. World. ?. ?

In tbc Copper ClitT mine, near Sudbury, Canada, it is said more nickel is being produced than the entire market nf tho world calls for at current prices. A little branch oil the main line of tho Canadian Pacific railway, four miles in length, leads out to the mine, which opens intothe face of a crag of the brown, riTiilizeil I.nil rent inn ri^elr characteristic of this region. The miners arc now at work at a depth of aloout 300 feet helow the surface. As fast as tho nickel ami copper Ix-aring rock is hoisted out, it is broken up and piled upon long beds, or ricks, of pi no wood, to be calcined or roasted, for tho purpose of driving out Miq sulphur which it contains. The roasting process is of the naturo of lime kilning or charcoal burning. Each great bed of ore requires from one to two months to roast. When roasted the rock goes to the principal smelter, a powerful blast furnace "jacketed"?in mining phrase? with running water, to enable it to sustain tho great heat requisite to reduce the crude, olxlurate mineral to fluidity. The dross of the molten mass is first allowed to flow off, and afterward the nearly pure nickel and copper, blended together in an alloy called the "mat," or matte, is drawn of! at the base of the furnaco into the barrow pots and wheeled away, still liquid and fiery hot, to cool in the yard of the smelter. The mat contains about 70 per cent, of nickel, the remaining 30 per cent. I?eing mainly copper. When cohl, the conical pot loaves of mat can easily be cracked in pieces by means of heavy hammers. The fragments are then packed in barrels and shipped to Swansea, in Wales, and to Germany, where the two constituent metals are separated and re fined by secret processes, which are very jealously guarded by the manufacturers. So jealously is the secret kept that no one in America has yet been able to learn tho process, although one young metallurgist spent three years in Swansea as a common laltorer in tho factories in order to obtain it. At present there an* produced daily at the Copper Clilf mine alnuit ninety pot loaves of mat, each ** iii'iir 'i-?y pwunus, an output which yields an aggregate of more than 4,000 tons of nickel a year.?Manufacturing Jeweler. Itiilnfull on llic IMnhin. Professor Frank II. Snow, of the Kansas State university, said several years ago: "But the fact that thousands of new corners, from ignorance of the climate, have attempted to introduce ordinary agricultural operations upon the so called plains, and have disastrously failed in the attempt, has placed an undeserved stigma upon the good naiho of Kansas in many far distant communities, and has undoubtedly somewhat retarded immigration during the past few years. It is time for the general recognition of the fact that, except in exceedingly limited area where irrigation is possible, the western third of Kansas is lievoiid the limit of successful agriculture." The severe seasons of drought which have occurred since the above conservative statement was written show the whole truth of the matter to he that the westward advancing line of settlement is by no means an isohyetal one, but that it is merely a line representing in a way the overflow of the population of our eastern states. It needs hut a slight acquaintance among the old settlers in central Kansas to know that they fear nowadays excessively dry weather as much as they did twenty-live years ago. The people who live farther west are losing faith in the idea of an increased rainfall, as is evidenced by the fact that over two hundred linear miles l?i main canais nave laxciy neon con structed for irrigation purposes nearly as far oast as Kinsley, in the Arkansas valley of Western Kansas.
