Mrs. Rebecca Burns of Bellfontaine, Ohio, died- recently at t-he age of 115 years. and had attributed her extraordinary length of days to eat- ing onions twice a day. She had a gardm in which shelored to work and in which she raised onions. Iti may ,be that the healthful exercise in the 'open air and the interest: in her work contributed almost. as -much to hwsthvn her days as did the onions. Yet there is good authority for the use of onions as food. They are said to purify the blood, prevent sleeplossness, and to promote diges- tion. Other methods of prolonging the; span of life have .been many, includ-i ing the late Mr. Gladstone's plan of thorough mastication of every mouthful of food, and the famous Dr. Abernethey's prescription "to keep the bend cool and the feet dry and warm." Probably these muth- ods are also good in choir way. But tained to extreme old age have fol- lowed no particular plan, have eaten what they liked, or what they could KH. and not a few have indulged to a greater or less degree in the uso of tobacco or ardent spirits. Met,husaleh's plan of life and dict. has not been given to the world, but that he gave little thought to what he alle or drank, lived a peaceful and quiet life without incurring an-y great- anxiety or m0n't.s»l worry. Some. of the oldest people in the British Isles warmth enables them to live a long if rather narrow life. But behind most cases of long life tlszre lies st.-ill another element, the vital force :md sound physical constitution with which they were endowed at the" beginning. A man's hold upon life, barring ac-‘ cidents, is as the strength of a chain which is measured always by its' weakest link. One weak or diseased organ- may cut oil at thirty, forty' or fifty yeurs a life which but for this defect might have eitiillded £0 on hundred. On the other band itl it tolerably safe to say that the drinker, or the smoker who ma? “V0 to a great age, in nine cases out of‘ ten does so because of the inherited strength of a constitution sound in every part, and' in spitu of rather' than because of the vicious habits he; had followed. Onions mmy prolong life. They certainly give a flavor, not altogether attractive to the fif it were we should probably learn ,breath of life.

There would not be so wide-spread and general desire for appointments' to the civil ae-rvilce were it not for the fact that positions therein are in general bettur paid than in ordin- ary callings of life.

It would be difficult and indeed impossible to find- space for all these letters, nor do we think their publi- cation would bc profitable. Among others, Jacob Best of Mwlpeque writ- es that he has listened to these preachers night after night, that they have stayed- .in his home, and h-e finds their liven and teachings to be in every way commend-.able. Mr. Best says that some one w'ro't-o the rlwliialx Chief of Police tio learn whether thc pamphlets about them were in any measure true, and received the reply, "I know abs'olu.tely nothing about these Go Preachers apart from cor- respondence received from E'n'gla‘n-d, which contains nothing that would warrant action here.” Mr. Beat fur- Tllc Patriot declines to discuss the through freight rate or the chnmged attitude of its party leaders toward mate lor the same, and takes reilu-gl.
