In olden timet men lived to great age; few died under the century mirk utiles killed In the battle or the chafe. There 1 no physical reason, no edict of nature, why men ahould not live 100 year and upward now. And yet age of ltaelf Is ne virtu. I'nles one can keep young In looks, feelings, action and ambitions what pleasure can there be In merely piling up years? I believe that the art of keeping young consists largely In the main tenance of a right attitude of the mind on the subject The great apostle Taul laid down one of the most profound philosophical truths of the ages when he said: "As a man thlnketh so Is be." If woman constantly thinks gray hair and wrinkles she will soon have both in abundance. On the other hand, If he boldly defies spectacles, powders, painta, stay, wigs, etc., and countantly asserts to her own heart and the whole world her right to remain young, nine times out of ten she will still be a girl at 40 Instead of a broken-down old wom an ready for the grave. If a man will defy old Father Time by a constant men tal and physical declaration of his right to keep young and buoyant he can win In a walk. There Is no use for a nervous collapse at 85 or 40. Most men chew too much tobacco, smoke too many cigarettes, drink too much liquor and live too fast every way. Too many mistake reckless dash for streuuousness. Repose Is one of the greatest needs of the hour. Washington was a man of giant purpose and Iron wUI, yet withal a man of magnificent repose. But for a little earelessira which precipitated pneumonia he might have lived to pas tb century mark. Sandow advise exercls and cold bath. Thi 1 all right a far a U goes. But a regimen which considers only the physical man la worth very little without a pure, trong mind, a clear, honorable life and a God-centered ouL TREATING BUSINESS AS A SCIENCL Bf John A. Itowlani. There la a trong tendency at present to re gard business as a science, knowledge of which can be reduced to principles and general law. Thi mean that the painfully acquired experi ence of individual I being sifted, formulated, made general In application, so that It can be handed on to benefit other. In no department of Dullness practice ha there been auch enormous I development In the last decade as In organization, the intellectual framework by means of which a business move, and this organization of business is now being stud led a never before. It ha long been known that ysteiu was an Important element, hut, as competition grow fiercer and fiercer, the perfection of method, of ytem, appears to be the very key to success. The latest development of this tendency to discard the method of our father 1 shown In the rise of the "business doctor," who I an expert who may be called In to examine and prescribe for any business that show symptoms of falling health. He is a graduate from the school of experi ence. H take charge of everything and bosses everybody concerned. The first think he does 1 to examine the work Ing "system, and be Invariably find thi to be closely con aected with the teat of the disease. Striving at every point to eliminate waste, he often finds It necessary to reorganize H from top to bottom. Detecting leakage here, waste of time there, he endeavor by Introducing time and labor svlng device to reduce the running expenses. He teaches manager how to advertise most effectively for tb least money, bow to have the window dressed, bow to- economize floor space, how to make two men do the work of three. Betide examining Into waste that result from lack of HI 1 V 1 system, the bullous doctor looks out for possible dishonesty on the part of employe. He uses all sort of clever devices for detecting such practice. He mercilessly prod every body to see how much work be can get out of him. He pries Into every nook and corner and into every slightest transaction till he knew Just what I going on everywhere every minute. He (bakes up and be shake down the whole business, tightening a screw here, fastening a loose board there, applying te one man a tonic, to another a dressing down, always with hi finger on the pulse of hi patient, till finally it iteadle down to a normal, healthy action.

There was method In thatl But we have elaborated business knowledge and methods in America since then. To-day expert and spe- clallst In business principle are known a "doctor," and we may without undue exaggeration dignify the lifted, classified, and duly arranged ubtanc of their special knowledge a science.

I hope they will never return. We neither want them nor do w want the offspring of such stock. What are our peril? In comparison with what w bave gone through and overcome they are noth ing. Our dyspsptlc friends talk about the glory of the old time and bow we bave fallen away In manners and In mor al. Early records speak of the exceeding drunkenness among the clergy of Virginia, but no such record attache to any church In any denomination In any State, In any township, of the United State to-day. The eighteenth century had for It Invention by Amer icans two things, the lightning rod and ahingle nails, but the nineteenth century contributed more to the happiness of man and the glory of God than all the centurie which preceded it. General Washington' administration and his republic were rocked to the center by a whisky rebellion in a county of Pennsylvania, but lu our time thirteen States and a million of men, American at that, in arms against the republic for Its overthrow only placed It on firmer founda tions with purer liberty.

W are all terribly alike, and every man and woman 1 but an Imitation of some ether man or woman. In literature, art, religion, we are all under the Influence of tome domineering power. Even In (port w are not free from Imitation. Thousands of people who did not want to ride bicycles did so because they wanted to Imitate the wealthy claas at Newport And of what use waa their rejoicing? Now they muet need motor, and play golf, because It 1 fashionable to do and the people they want to seem like enjoy these thing. We will never get rid of the fad, and w may never get rid of the Imitation, but the only chance for the latter 1 to cultivate Individuality. The way to do that 4 to (Umulate yourselves for greater efforts by never letting a day pas without (pending fifteen minute at least with some one you feel 1 superior to you or by reading for that length of time In a good book. MEN CHEAPER THAN HOR8ES. Vamlne in Horse and Rn.h of Work Make Them Hard to litre. If anyone 1 deceiving himself that the automobile ha any chance of driv ing horse out of the market let him ask the teamster or bus driver, says tb Chicago Ghronlole. The contractor will tell the same story, giving figures to prove that the bone market wae never In better ahape than it 1 this fall and that horses were never In greater He consider till a big estimate, allowing for the high rental of barn room downtown. "And even at that rate we think It 1 costing more to keep a horse than a man," he explain, "be side that we have our Investment to look out for, we have put money In the horse and the man didn't cost u cent. And then ngnln the man can take care of himself, but a beast of a man will abuse a poor beast of a horse. A hori will work all day long and all night If H.0RSES GET BIGGEK PAY THAN THEIR DRIVER. demand. Indeed. It la much ai the su perintendent of one of the city but line said the other day: "It Is a pity the automobile doe not take bold of the rough work the horse now has to do. We don't need automobiles to haul the fashionable about town. We need them for delivery wagons aud for dirt' hauling and for coal wagons and the like. The horse can do the best of the work himself. What he need la some thing to help him with the hard work There are not on the market to-day enough heavy horses to do tb hard work of city teaming. According to re port the price of an average team horse baa doubled within the last nine month and the scarcity of team for general huullng 1 alarming.

Driver and wagon are plenty enough, but It la Impossible to get the horse to complete the outfit It so happens that while A man la earning SI. 50 a day his team Is earning S3.

In the meantime If there 1 an auto mobile which will haul dirt or scrape roads or do any of the drudgery of the horses' work the equine family will no doubt welcome It There will be pleuty of work left for the horses. an to ahow you.

Now the seven are women, which la significant, and one that typlfle the work done !n the bureau, for here, of the 8,000 em ploye, more than half are of the fem inine persuaalon. These young and good-looking guide will explain bow American money la printed on the back, then put In cold torage, where It goe through a dry ing process; then sorted and the Im perfect sheet thrown out; then print ed on the face, and then perforated and put up In packages to be sent to th treasury for the government seal. They generally tell bow useless It would be for any one to try to rob the wagon containing this money. In the first place, because six guards al ways accompany It; and, In the sec ond place, because the money at this stage of It manufacture wouldn't be any good, anyway. "It 1 even day after a bill 1 print ed on it back before It la printed on the face." said this visitor's guide. "It take thirty day to make a silver dol lar bill, and forty to mak a gold one. Th gold one Is printed three times, twice on one side, because It has to hav the word 'gold' and a little splotch of gold on thi tide before th face can be printed." Then th led the visitor to the framed dollar bills fastened to one of the walla In the hall, and (bowed these bills, calling special attention to the gold certificate, and then led the way back to the front door and said adieu.

The Idea 1 not a new one, for many country folk made use of th substitutes in the days when the luxury of Chines tea was not o easily afforded aa now. Bfon i th Revolution, when th colonial I were in a turmou ever w iiauip taxe, It Wa considered unpatriotic to drink tea that had paid tribute to the government and the so-called lib erty tea wa the popular drink. The four-leaved loose atrlf was, no doubt, the barb from which thi beverage wa made, poadbly with the aid of various other herb. Tbl plant grow a foot or two high and may be recognized by It dmple, upright item, upon which the leave are set in wborla of four or five, the yellow tarlike flower being produced on long, slender stock from near the base of the leave. It 1 common to almost every woodland. The leaves f th New Jersey tea, a low bush which grows everywhere in dry wood lands, and bear In June and July a profusion of delicate white blooms, wa also extensively used during th Revolution. An Infusion of the leave boll a bright amber color, and In look 1 a attractive as the real bev erage, but the taste, though astrin gent 1 by no means lively. Some effort ha been recently mada In commercial circles to revive the ua of thi plant at a substitute for tea. Th leavet are laid to contain about 10 per cent of tannin. Hemlock leave and those of the arbor vltae bava played an Important part In the mak ing of rustic tea. The arbor vltae 1 a tree that grow wild In great abun dance in northern wood, and the old-time Maine lumbermen used fre quently to resort to It leave for tea when other herbage failed them for th purpose. It wa thought to be very Invigorating. the leave of the wlntergreen, a mall plantwhose bright red berries, about the lze of peas, are cold on the treet under the name of teaberry, have long been used for tea. From tbl It take the name by which It Is known in Pennsylvania. New Eng enders for some unknown reason call It checkerberry. The foliage 1 very aromatic, and people who like a dash of splclnes in their drink bave some time added its flavor to real tea. It Is near of kin and similar In taste to tb creeping snowberry, a small, delicate vine, abundant In the great bogs and mossy woods of the north and A'leghany regions, and this is also approved by mountain palates as a substitute for tea. Tboreau, In "The Main Woods," tell of bis Indian guide bringing It Into camp one night and recommending it as the best of an substitute for tea. "It has a slight checkerberry flavor," he records, "and w both agree that It was better than the black tea we had brought. We thousht It a discovery and that it might be dried and sold In the shops." Better known as a tea plant is the Labrador tea, or the ledum latlfolla of the botanists, which grows In cold bogs and mountain woods from Penn sylvania northward. The leaves, which emit a slight, not . unpleasant fragrance when bruised, are tough and leathery and covered with a rusty brown wool. Steeped, they give wild, gamy flavor to hot water, and the drink resulting suggests a pool grade of black tea. Sweet fern, which 1 such an abun dant Towth everywhere on stcrll hillside and by mountain roads, la an other famous tea plant often known as "mountain tea." In the War of the Rebellion Its use for tea was par tlcularly prevalent in the Southern State, and many a Southern lady who wa reared In luxury wa reduced to drinking thi poor substitute for ner favorite Oolong or flowery Pekoe. The foliage and flowers of all the golden rods are Imbued with an astringent principle and are moderate ly stimulant, so that tbelr suitability for th manufacture of a domestic tea was recognized by the American col onist a long ago a when George III. wo king over them.
