Human Beings Should Live at Least a Hundred Years, Every man who dies before he Is n hundred years old does so becuuso h has neglected the laws of health. 1 believe the time will come when men will commonly live to be 150 years old. But to do this they must be born right and be taught matters of health with their A B C's. A majority of the people of America lose nbout thirty years of life through not understanding or not following the demand of nature for regular and ade quate exercise. Our systems of civili sation have worked a vast Improve ment In production by training men to special lines of work. Thus the.v becomp wonderfully prollcientr. To see a man rattling up long columns of rending matter on a linotype machine Is Inspiring, to hear a lawyer clearly and incisively summing up a case fills one with admiration, to read a strong, forceful eilitoriul affords pleasure at the thoughts so well expressed, to watch the violinist ami listen to the i sweet inch dies he draws from the I strings wafts our souls to higher I realms, yet the acquirement of earh nnd all t!ic.:e abilities litis robbed the trained or talented performers of some thing else. The linotype Is wearing out bis nerves In setting type at such a rapid pace; the oratory of the law yer lias been acquired at the expense of a dyspeptic stomach; the man who wins us with bis facile pen envies til:' strength of the sturdy laborer shovel ing in the street; the virtuoso would fain have the appetite of the perform er on the big horn in the little street band. ( In thus specializing each Is apt to neglect the routine work for all the muscles that nature demands to keep up the physique.

OUR FIRST PRESIDENT. The Average American Knows Very Lit'.lo About Washington, Boru I'vli 22. 17:52; died Dec. 14. 171)0; fought Indians; time and place a little vague. Was he not with lltixl dock? Married a widow named Mar tha; was commander all through our Revolution; was our first president nnd had two terms; wrote a farewell ad dress; knew Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson; crossed the Delaware at Trenton Just before Christmas nnd sur prised the Hessians; beat Cornwullls at Yorktotvn and was llrst in war, llrst lu peace aud first In the hearts of his countrymen. These are all public facts. Wliut does the reader know of Washington the man? More than likely It will be as follows: Cut down u cherry tree with a hatchet; owned up to having done so, saying. "Father. I cannot tell a lie:" threw a stone very fur across some river; climbed up the side of thp Natural bridge and cut his Initials; worked hard at school; was steady; was very good all the time, and every body loo); ed up to him; of course very brave, of course very wise nnd n great patriot; was one of the greatest men In all history: was tall, strong; wore those knee breeches of colonial days and a wig; looked stern; would prob ably lecture you aud tell you to be vir tuous and you would be happy.

Selections HUDSON RIVER BRIDGE. The Now Structure Will Be the Eighth Wonder of the World. The magnitude of the projected Hud son river bridge does not nt first strike the unthinking person, but when It does strike It comes with a breathless, aerial significance. It will be the eighth wonder of the world, and the eyes of foreign engineers are t timed to New York with expectnncy. The plans of the new structure are practically those of the original North river project. It was a long step from a 1,700 foot span, then and still the longest In the world, to over 3.000 feet, the distance to be covered between the piers on either side of the broad Hud sou. To mako a brhlga almost double the length of the Brooklyn bridge meant bulldlhg the towers Hourly twKe as high, and In order to allow for ad ditional roadways and traces the bridges of double length must lie uls'i twice us wide. Thus the proposition in volved was really very much more than building a bridge with u double length span, for three dimensions had to be considered, making the entire structure nearly eight times as large as the Brooklyn bridge. , At first other engineers were loath to believe that modern materials made possible so great a bridge, but the en tire profession, Is now agreed that the bridge Is possible and practicable, aud the estimates of construction cost vary between $:i5,0O0,000 and $00,000,000, de pending upon the number of tracks and the carrying capacity designated. These figures do not Include the cost of approaches or of right of way. It is an astonishing fact that Is con templated, this of suspending Iwtwci'n steel towers distant more than half a mile eight great railway tracks and four driveways, says Charles II. Coch rane In the New Broadway Magazine. As a triumph of engineering the work will have no eqtfnl. there will be four atupendous towers at the piers. 'each suggesting In appearance the celebrat ed Eiffel tower. These four towers will be about 800 feet from foundation stones to top. They will carry the eight mammoth steel cables that will curve gracefully across the noble Hud son and Btipport the two deck steel truss: bridge 140 feet wide capable of transporting 100.000 iersous in - oue hour without undue crowding. New Stunts of Beggars.' To be au up to date beggar requires a lot of Ingenuity, and one would think that the same amount of thought along different lines would produce something more worth while. The lat est scheme in New York Is to stop the passerby and ask for money enough to have a prescription' filled nnd show the puper. "I Just got out of the hospital, and the doctor told me I must tuke this regular," the beggar will say, and usually he wins, for no oue cares to feel that he may have sent the poor devil away without tho medicine re quired to keep him alive. There Is an other chap running about the city. He carries a loaf of bread on which be munches hungrily. All he asks Is a nlektl to get a cup of coffee to finish off his meager fare. New York Glolie. Moving a Town In a Boat. The transitory nature of life in Alas ku is shown by an incident In Dr. F. A. Cook's account of bis ascent of Mount McKlnley, "To the Top of the Conti nent." He was In search of a towif on Yentua river when "at about 10 o'clock we saw a big dory drifting down the stream, A corpulent miner, with all kinds of things, was in the boat To our qucstlou, 'How far to Youngstown ' he answered: "It used to be twenty miles above, but it just moved. I have the town In the dory nnd am taking It down the stream.' " , Leather Candy. Leather Is often heavily dressed with sugur to Increase its weight In order to show that their leather Is not faked with sugar the government of the Aus tralian commonwealth stamps leather exports with an otlicial declaration that they contain "not more than 5 per cent of crystal sugar."

' Autos In City Parks. -- Boston has taken a wback at the au tomobillsts, following New York's ex ample In excluding from its parks mo tor cars equipped with tire chains or metal covered tires.

Many years ago a gath ering of the wits ut the .Miiccaliaeus endeavored to come to a decision as tu the real 4c tlnitlnn of it scbemlhl. They could not agree us to tile origin of the word, und they found It equally hard to define what exactly a schenilhl is. The nearest shot, says the Jewish Chronicle of London, was that of Stu art M. Bnimiel. M. I'.. who said that be could tell a story that would illus trate exactly what was meuut by the term. There was a poor man who could not llnd anything to do. What ever be tried failed, and when be sought employment be could not ob tain It Day after day be sat (schemlhl like) on u bench lu the public gardens waiting for some one to offer him work, but the offer never came. For a whole year he sat thus each day un til at Inst he attracted the attention of a merchant, who said to himself: "I want some one at my warehouse, and I think I shall otTer the job to that poor man who Is always sitting so pu tiently und wistfully as though he is looking for employment. Tomorrow I shall speak to him." The morrow came, und tile poor man started for his usual walk to his usual sent. As. how ever, he was leaving his house he said to his wife: "My dear. I have been out like tills for a whole year, and nojb lug has ever come of it. Today I think 1 shall stay at home." And he- did. And be missed the merchant. That Is the scbemlhl. A LIFE OF THE ROOFS. Gardens Flourish on the Housetops of Florenoe, Italy. There still exists In Italian cities a life of the roofs that Is distinct and characteristic and of which the mere foreigner nnd tourist is entirely un aware. Particularly is this the case in Florence. Mount to the top floor of oue bf these grim, big palaces standing In "some gloomy, sunless street often approached by a Stern, forbidding door way and dark, steep stairs, and you will bold your breath with wonder at the surprise that awaits you. for here before your eyes stretches an unfa miliar city, a red and green city of wide exHinst und varying altitudes, a city no less architecturally beautiful than the oue you have left below r.nd enlivened, too. most unexpectedly by verdure I u the very heart of the city, on Its topmost apex, there Is io truce of grime. The nlr Is pure and whole some. Indeed. Its breezes are charged with no small suggestion of sen and mountain breath. As for the smoke one would expect to find hanging above the roofs of a densely populated city, it Is conspicuous by Ms absence, and only at the hour of meals does some faint blue column rise for the briefest space luto the utmosphere.
