THE AIITKHIKS. They Arc Liable to Become Iluitlcn- el in Old arc. "A man is as old as his arteries." was said some time ago by a French physician, and the saying, like so many others of the nhraso lovinc French, has a good deal of truth in it and a little error. There is manv a man. old in vears but young in spirit, whose arteries are like pipestems. So brittle do they Beem, Indeed, that the physi cian hardly dares feel the pulse lest he crush the friable artery under his finger, yet these, old people are active in mind and body and seem often much younger than men of but two-thirds their years. Aeain. one meets old and feeble folk, whose lives seem to flicker dangerously, like a candle flame In a draft, whnn arteries are as soft and comprc- :".)'.e as those of a child. In genem . however, the savinc is true, and specially in premature old age It will usually be found that the arteries are hard, with fibrous thickening, if not already more or less calciiled. Hardening of the blood vessels arteriosclerosis is the accepted medical term consists in a fibrous overgrowth of the walls ot the arteries, usually following more or less degeneration of the normal tissues of the vessels. As to just how this comes about physi cians are not entirely agreed. It is probable that the chance occurs first In the very minute vessels, those tiiat run through the walls of the larger vessels supplying them with blood for their nourishment. When these are hardened by the deposit or nbrous tissue they carry less blood and carry It more slowly, and so the nutrition of the walls of the larger vessels is reduced. this leads to softening, and then nature tries to renair the uamaee by the only new tissue at her hand namely, tibrous tissue. Later these fibrous and thicken ed walls of the larger arteries may be hardened still more by a deposit of lime salts from the blood. The arteriosclerosis so common in old age Is the result of "wear and tear." An tube dilated by hydraulic pressure and then con tracting 10,000 times a day will have done much work by the end of seventy years. In younger life arteriosclerosis is most commonly caused by intemperance not in drinking only, but In eating, espe cially meat eating, without enouch exercise to consume the excess nf nutrient material. Overwork, worry, and chronic poisoning, such as lead poisoning, are also factors. The best thine for arteriosclerosis Is not to get it, and the best way not to get it is to bo moderate in everything. Peonlo Krowinc niri should be examined medically every six montns, and then Incipient ar teriosclerosis may be detected and pernaps arrested by proper diet drugs and regimen. Youth's Com. p anion. London Ladies Fenos. London ladies stimulated by the Olympic games of last eummor have taken to the foils, and fencing Is now the fashion. Indeed, an official of the Sword club holds that fencing is like ly to have on even wider vogue among women than among men. A TALE OF TWO PArtROT8. Popular Young Minister Uses It ta Point a Moral. Rev. Philip C. Fletcher, tho most eloquent and popular of St. Louis' younger clergymen, was discussing tho other day the sermon wheroln be said ho saw no harm in cosmetics. "What I meant in that sermon," said Mr. Fletcher, smiling, "was that a woman owed it to herself to make the most of her looks. According to some people, I advised every woman to lay on powder and paint with a trowel. I would never think of giving such advice, of course. Such advice, coming from tho pulpit, would hava a strango sound as strange a sound bb tho talk of tho minister's parrot. "A certain minister called on an old lady, and found a new parrot In her parlor. This parrot kept saying every llttlo while: '"I wish the old girl would die!' "Tho minister turned his head to conceal a smile. "'But I think I can Bet this mat tor right for you, dear madam,' ho Bald. 'I, too, have a parrot, as you know. It Is a very honest bird. Ita talk is very edifying. I'll send It hero and It will soon guide your own parrot into decent speech.' "Ho sent on his parrot that even ing. The grateful old lady put tho birds side by side. Then with a pleas ed smile she prepared to listen to their conversation. "'I wish the old girl would die,' said tho parrot host. 'And the guest rolled his eyes and declaimed solemnly: 'Wo beseech thee to hear us, good Lord!" THE DESTINATION. Teacher Can any of you children tell me what becomes of the swallow? Tommy I can, teacher; It goes to the stomach. Willing, If He Would Walt. In his address before the Philadel phia Conference of tho Methodist Church the other day Bishop Hamil ton related tho following anecdote to Illustrate a point: "I think you are all good-natured enough to agree with the young lady who, with her llanco, was awaiting a street car. After several cars had passed and they could not get aboard the young man became Impatient. When the next car stopped at tho corner he leaped upon the platform and said, In pleading terms: "Come on, Mary, wo can manage to squeeze in here, can't we?' Tho young wom an colored slightly, but bravely re plied, 'I suppose we can, dear, but don't you think we had better wait until we get homo?'" Too Soon to Begin Counting. A man came shooting from a bright ly lighted window one night, and land ed with a crash on the sidewalk. "It's all right," he said to the crowd that had gathered, as he stiffly arose. "That's my club, the Ninth Precinct, I'm a Smyth man, and there are ten Jones men In there. I'm going back to them. You stay here and count them as they come out of the window." He limped back Into the club. There was a great uproar. Then a figure crashed through the window, and struck the sidewalk with a terrible noise. "No," said the figure, rising, '.'don't start counting yet. It's me again." All's Well. All's well with the world, my friend, and there isn't an ache that lasts; all troubles will have an end, and the rains and tho bitter blasts; there Is sleep when the toll is done, there's substance beneath the foam; and the bully old yellow sun will shine till the cows come home! All's well with the world, my friend! Your star In the distance beams; and the burden that mokes you bend, is merely a bunch of dreams; to music serene and fine, tho woods and the streams glvo tonguo; and the corpulent sun will shine, till the last of the dogs Is hungS Walt Mason In Emporia Ga zette.

Hnrmlese Coffe! Wanted. A number of ox: erimeuts have been carried out with tl'e object of prepar ing a caffeln frcu i.roduct from tho coffee seeds. A satisfactory result was obtained by certain methods which aim nt subjecting tho entire raw seeds to n p'oceduro by means of which tho caffoln salts are decom posed and tho seeds are rendered amenable to subsequent extraction with a volatllo solvent of caffeln. This procedure In at present employed In Bremen and In Mannheim, Germany. Nature has produced a plant free from caffeln, native of Madagascar and Reunion, but unfit for use on ac count of its bitter principle. Graft ing experiments have not yet proved successful. The requirements In case of tho artificial non-poisonous pro duct are its almost entire harmless ness, together with an unchanged ap pearance, taste and aroma. The Penang Patrol Wagon. Writing of the local patrol wagon the Penang correspondent of the Straits Times, Singapore, says: "It forcibly calls to mind at first sight a four wheeled baker's cart, bar the fact that It is drawn by about the slowest pair of bullocks in the settle ment. Thore Is nothing grim at all about It, for it Is commanded by a sleepy Malay constable perched on the box; Its roof and sides are form ed of white canvas, and It has no door to close at the back, but merely an opening In which another Malay con stable half slumbers. Two or three other constables rldo inside sitting on the benches with the prisoners, who seem to bo struck with novelty of the ride to make any attempt at escape. I should say that an escape from this prison van would bo aa easy as falling off a log." To Be Looked At. "Of course, madam, I would not bo expected to light the fire?" "Certainly not." "Nor sweep the floors?" "Certainly not" "Nor attend. to the door?" "Of course not" "Nor to wait on table?" "No; I want none of theso things," said the lady with her sweetest smile. "The only thing I require a servant for Is to look r.t her and for this you are too plain." Royal Magazine. Improved Burglar Alarm.
