there were 6,665 centenarians in the
Vtiitod States, there we e 11,000 per
on? 59 years and older and 4,500,-
000 persons over 65 years of ago
That is to sav, a very considerable
■ oportion of the population was
o e • 65 yenrs old. That this propor-
tion has increased since 1910 is prac-
t'c lly certain.
That it is possiblo to add 15 yens
to one's life Is not simply a suppo-
' on with many pe rons. They are
o ng It to e t h

e They have learned that by
'opting proper living haMt- nnc
o' eying faithfully the laws of fiy*
«flnne, you may add not only 15, L'0,
o- 40 ye:irs to your life, but that you
m*y also so preserve the organs of
the body anfl the mind as to make
this period of life one of the mo t
useful.
There are more old women than
old men. The reasons given for this
are that women as a sex livo clean-
er lYves, are less given to excesses
have fewer Infections, drink less
whiskey, use less tobacco, carry less
stit in and come into old age with
sounder organs. Thev, therefore,
have a deathrate lower than that of
a man and they have a longer Hf
expectancy than men. According
tho ce8usn tables, a person (55 voirs
old may expect to live 11.6 years,
those 70 may expect to live 9.1

Mrs. Nellie Coltlilss was the principal
witness against her l;usl:uiul, whose ar-
raignment she had caused on a charge
of disorderly conduct. She declared
he had thrown every portable triile in
their home at her earlier in the day,
that he was not supporting her prop-
erly and that she wanted him put un-
der bond to pay a certain sum each
week. "You are not afraid that this
man will attack you if I release him
over night, ore you?" asked tho cofcrt.
"Afraid?" asked Mrs. Colthiss. "Well,
I guess not. Last night 1 threw Justus
much as he did, but lie was the one
that started It. I could knock the
head off the little shrimp If I wanted
to; but, your honor, he makes $12 u

Cotton Instead of Silk.
For almost n hundred years no one
thought of making tor< id other tliun
from linen nnd silk. Cotton was not so
much as thought of. Tln/n Napoleon,
who had been devastating Kurope,
thought he would strike a blow at the
silk Industry of Hamburg, and caused
the stocks of silk to be burned. The
thread makers of Paisley thus found
their supplies of raw material cut off,
nnd they had to look about to find a
substitute. Cotton was tried, and was
found to answer the purpose so well
I that the basis of nn entirely new Indus-
try was laid—the manufacture of "cot-
ton" thread. From this time on the
progress of the new Industry was
steady.
Importance of Discipline.
There Is not that thing in the world
of more grave and urgent Importance
throughout the life of mnn, than is dis-
cipline. What need I instance? lie
that hath read with judgment of
nations and commonwealths, of cities
and cait'i s, of peace and war, sea and
/and, will readily agree that the
nourishing i.tul decaying of all civil
societies, nil the movements and turn-
ings of human occasions, are moved
to and fro as on an axle of discipline.
So that whatsoever power and sway In
mortal things weaker men have attrib-
uted to fortune. 1 durst with more
confidence ascribe either to the vigor
or the slackness of discipline. And
certainly discipline is not only the re-
moval of disorder . . but the
very visible share and Image of vir-
tues; whereby she Is not only seen In
the regular gestures and motions of
her heavenly peace us she walks, but
also makes the harmony of her voice
I nudlble to mortal curs.—Milton.
