CURE FSB OLD AGE
—
Easy and Pleasant and Costs but
Little to Try It.
\ GOOD WAY TO CHEAT DEATH.
The Prescription Is to Mix Open Air
and a Hobby, Shake Well and Take as
Many Hours a Day or Night as Pos
sible—The Cure In Real Life.
Old age cnri be cured. The prescrip
tion Is n simple one. .Mix open air and
a hobby, shake well niul take as many
Hours n da.v as possible. No one be
gins to age until he is bored, and the
Bret gray hair comes when a man sud
denly thinks to himself, "What's the
use?" Then Is the time when a hobby
makes life Interesting again.
There was an ufliclal on one of our
great railroads who was retired at sev
enty. "He'll die now," said Ills friends
kindly. But he didn't. Instead, he be
came interested in the wild (lowers,
and tww he Is too busy in looking for
the ram's head orchid and trying to
find a tiew.station for the hart's tongue
fern and tramping around In the woods
and fields In all kinds of weather even
to think of dying Anyway, he would
not have time until lie's fiuished his
monograph on the willows of the Unit
ed States.
There Is a woman in namtuore, sev
enty-two years old, who years ago
sought to forget a great sorrow by
learning the butterflies. Her city home
has become n rendezvous for entomolo
gists nil over the world and houses a
famous collection. While her contem
poraries are dozing their lives awjty In
caps and easy chairs *he spends her
summers in the mountains and her
winters in Florida with a butterfly net
Twenty-one new species to identify
are her contribution to the lepldoptern,
and she plans to live until the last
goal of an entomologist Is reached—
the using of her single Initial species.
An oetet of men In Philadelphia, all
well past their threescore years, some
In business and some foot loose, be
long to the same ornithological socie
ty. They nre afield every day of the
year, rain or shine, to watch the ever
changing bird life. In the spring each
prepares migrant sheets showing the
arrivals of the hundred odd migrants
that pass throng!; every place every
year. There is -rcaf rivalry as to who
shall score the most warblers or iden
tify the largest number of birds in one
day. At present writing the oldest of
the eight holds a record of seventy- J
Ave different kinds of birds seen or
heard in <ono d;n between dawn and
dark—one for eai h year of his age and
one to grow 011.
A man In North Carolina by the sud
den death of two of his family was
left alone with but little money, no
friends and the cheering dictum from
his doctor that he l::ul o:i!y a year to
live. To while away the few months
still left t" him as well as to help out
bis household expenses he took.up the
study of edible mushrooms. At the
^end of n year in the open he notified
his indignant pit;, sidan that ho had
become too milch Interested In his
hobby to contirm his diagnosis. In ten
years he ha* discovered, classified and
tested 170 hinds of edible mushrooms
and has published a book which Is one
of the standard authorities for mush
room eaters of the world
Another septuagenarian attributes his
long life to the stars. Confined to
business during the day. he sought the
open air at night and began to study
the changing constellations and the per
plexing planets Then he found that
with an opira glass lie conld detect
their ei»li>rs and reveled in the blue

None of the nature studies requires
much money or ttnie. A cheap Illus

If possible, some walks and talks with

Immediately to Identify a score or more
of flowers, or birds, or constellations,
or mushrooms, and you will have found
a hobby on which you may ride away
from Death.
Try It. young men, lest you grow old.
Try It, old metf. before you grow tired.
Escape Into the open from these nar
row Indoor days and learn the way to
where the wild folk dwelL In their
land you will find the help of tha hills
and hope wide as the world, and
strength, and youth, and happiness.
Try It.—Samuel Scovllle. Jr., In Llppln

Across the Atlantic.
The narrowest part of the Atlantic Is
between Brazil and Guinea, where the
ocean is only about 1,800 miles wide,
from Newfoundland to Ireland, the
narrowest breadth north of the equa
tor, Is nearly twice as far. From New
York to the nearest point of France Is
nearly three times as far.
The Lesser Evil.
"It's Mr. Borelclgh I think I'll send
him word I'm out."
"Won't the still, small voice reproach
you V"
"Oh, yes, but I'd rather listen to the
still, small voice than to Mr. Bore
leigh's."— Roston Transcript
The most deadly foe to success In

Our First Cent.
The first American cent was struck
ofT and put In circulation In 1783. Pre- t
vious to that date pattern pieces had
been made, but they were ex perl meats
only and were never put In circulation.
The so called Washington cents, which
existed previous to the date above giv
en. were not issued by the government
amhwere, therefore, only medals. The ,
cent of 1703 was very similar to the
large copper cents of later date, with
the exception that the face of Liberty
was turned to the right and the legend
"One Cent" was Inclosed In a chain of
thirteen links.
