Kellogg's Agency 31 Union Sq., New York which was written the reason for his weariness of life-he was tired of 'buttoning and unbuttoning.' Ten years out of fifty are consecrated to the nourishment of the inner man-the time for eating and drinking. Not that any of these duties are unpleasant-quite the contrary; yet, all the same, they consume the years, and how much time is left for contribution to the world? In the majority of human lives such time is never reached." The following rules for living to a ripe, old age are given by Mrs. Henderson: 1. Study the laws of nature for health and the remedies of nature for cure. 2. Avoid all poisons. 3. Take abundant exercise in pure air, but always short of fatigue. So exercise that every portion of the body is equally benefited. As it takes a strong engine for a long journey, cultivate lung-power by CHICAGE slow, deep-breathing exercises. JAMES F.

Cultivate the habit of work in connection with some worthy ambition, for healthy exercise of body and mind is as strengthening as repose, and should balance it. ance it. Work while you work and rest while you rest, avoiding all worry. Make yourself useful to the world, and feel that you have a mission in it. 7. Avoid bad environments, the worst of which is the friend who encourages you to poison yourself. Full two hundred years, Mrs. Henderson believes, are clearly our due, and she quotes a number of scientists-Oswald, Virchow, Nicola Tesla, and others, who hold similar views. In conclusion, Mrs. Henderson gives the above seven admirable rules for prolonging life. His Most Accurate Counterfeit. The genial Mark Twain complains that he has a most surprising number of "doubles." Only the other day a gentleman wrote to him from Florida, saying that he had been taken so often for Mr. Clemens that he thought it a matter of duty to send his photograph to the real original. The likeness, as shown by the picture, was certainly remarkable-so much so, indeed, that Mark sat down and wrote HARLAN P. FRENCH, 81 Chapel St., Albany, N. Y. the following reply: "MY DEAR SIR:-I thank you very much for your letter and the photograph.
