The picture afforded by oheerful and

if they choose, become oentera of inn

other hand, old age can not be regarded as
a blessing ,when ib„,is accompanied by pro-
found decrepitude and disorderof mind and
body. Senile dementia, or second childish
nen, is, of all conditions, perhaps the most
miserable, though not so painful to the sof
ferer as to those who surround him. Its
advent may be untended by ignorance and
neglect, and almost assuredly retarded or

Nom every early times the art of prolong-
itinalflife, and the subjeob of longevity, have
engaged the attention of thinkers and essay-
ists ; and some may Ferber: oontend that
these topics, admittedly tull of interest,
have been thoroughly exhausted. It is true
that the art in question has long been recog-
nized and practiced, but the scieece upon
which it really depends is of quips modern
origin. Many new facts connected with
lopgevity have been oollected within the last
fete years.
teumerion oe HUMAN LIFE.
What is the natural duration of human
life? This oft -repeated question has receiv-
ed many different answers.; and empire)
has been stimulated by skepticism as
to their truth. The late Sir George
Correwall Lewis expressed the opinion that
one hundred' yeara must be regarded sea
limit which very few, if indeed any, human
beings succeed in reaching,land he supported
this view by several cogent reasons. He
, pointedSout that almost all the alleged instan.
col of abnormal longevity occurred 'among
he humbler classes, and that it eves/difficult,
if not impossible, to obtain any moot infor-
mation as to the date of birth and to identify
the individuals wibh any written statements
that might be forbhooming.
The French naturalist, Buffon, believed
that, if accidental Mine could be exalted.
ed, the normal duration of human life would
• be between ninety and one hundred years.
If we seek to discover the extreme limib of
human lite, we are puzzled at the differences
in the ages read to •have been attained.
Thenongevity of the antediluvian pa.
Wardle when contrasted wibh our mo-
dern experience seems incredible. When
we look at an individual, say ninety yearn
of age, taking even the most favorable
specimen, a prolongation of life to ten times
that number of years would appear too ab-
surd even to dream about. There le certein-
ly no physiologicat reason why the ages
assigned to the matriarchs should not have
been attained, and ib is useleas to disousa
the subject, for we know very little of the
conditions under* which they lived. it is
interesting to notice that after the Flood
there vas a gradual decrease in life. Abra
ham is recorded to have died at one bundred
and seventy-five : Joshua, some five hundred
years later, " waxed old and shrielten in age'
shortly before his death at one hundred and
ten years; and his predecessor, Moses, to
whom one hundred and twenty years are
maligned, is believed to have estimated the
life ot man at threescore years and ten—a
meieure nowadays pretty generally accept-
ed.
There is no reason for believing thab the
extreme limit of human life in the time of
the Greeks and Romans differed materially
from that which agrees with • modern
experience. ntories of • the attainment of
ouch ages as one hue:area and twenty years
• and upward may be placed in the same
category as the reputed longevity of Henry
Jenkins, Thotnas Parr Lady Desmond, and
a host ot others. Withregard to later times,
suoh ab the middle ages, there are no pre-
oise data upon which any statementa can be
• band, but there is every maven to believe
that the average duration of life was decided-
• ly lese than it is at premien The extreme
irate indeed, three or four centuries ago,
eweuld appear to have been much lower than
cies is in this century. At the request of Mr.
Thorns, Sir J. Duffles Hardy investigated
the subject cif the longevity of inan in the
thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, and six-
toeuth centurieta and his reseateled led hien
to believe that paraone seldom reached the
age of eighty. Ho never mob with a trite&
worthy record ea pereon who exceeded that
age.
A Short ammunt of the experieuce of a
few llfe•assurance companies will conclude

the companies showed that one death

BOW TO ATTAirt A I/APPY OLD AOL
a great advantage in old age, and there are
many pursults o thie ehereeter beds
thefie connected with literature and science.
Whatever be the sphere of mental aot-
ivity, no kind of strain mud be put upon
the mind by a person who Itas reacted
eixty-five or seventy years. The feeling
that mental power is lees than it once wm
not infrequently stimulates a' man to in.
creased exertion° which may provoke strue-
bural changes in the brain, and will certain-
ly accelerate the progress of any thet may
exist in that organ. When a man finds that
a great effort is required to accomplish any
mental task that was once easy, he should
dead from the attempt, and regulate his
work according to his power. With this
limitation, it may be taken for granted that
the mental faculties will be far better pre-
eerved by their exercise than by their dims°.
Somewhat different advice must be given
with regard to bodily, exercises in their refer
end to longevity. Exercise is eseentia to
the 13/nervation of health; "Inactivity is a
potent cause of wasting and degeneration.

and vicarious action man not be performed
without mbehlef: Hence the importance
of maintaining, as far as possible, the eq
able action of all the bodily organ, so that
the there of the vita proonses assigned to
each shall be properly accomplished. For
this reason exercise is an important part of
the conduct ot life In old age : bub • disarm
hien is absolutely neoesaary. An old man
should discover by experience how much
exercise he can take without exhausting Ms
powers, and should be °Ireful never to ex-
ceed the limit. Old peersons are apt bo for-
get that their staying powere are much less
than they once were, and that, while a walk
of two or three miles may prove easy and
pleasurable, the addition of a return j 3 ur
ney of similar length will seriously over-
tax the strength. Above all things, sudden
and rapid exertion should be sorupulouely
avoided by persons of advanced age. The
machine which might go on working for
years at a gentle pace often breaks down
altogether when its movements aro suddenly
accelerated.
A meltability af attaining old age is very
often handed down fr am one generation to
another, and heredity is probetbly the most
powerful fa3tor in connection with longevity.
A necessary condition of reaching advanced
age is the possession of sound bodily organa,
and such an endowment is eminently op.
able of transmission. intends of longevity
oharmterizing several generationsare ire-
quenbly brought to notice.
It is diffizulb to estimate the influence of
other contingencies which affect longclvity.
With regard to sex, Hatstand's opinion was
that women were more likely than men to
become old, but that instances of extreme
longevity were more frequent among men.
Thiel opinion is to some extent borne out
by Dr. Humphrey's statistics: of his fif by -
two centenarians, thirtmeix were women.
Marriage would appear to be conducive
to longevity. A well-known Frew% aavant,
Dr. Bertillon, states that a bachelor
of twenty-five is nob a better life
than a married man of Jody five,
and he attributes the difference in favor
of married people to the fact that they
take more care of themselves, and lead more
regular lives than those who have no mob
Ile, It must, however, be remembered that
the more fact of marrying indicates superior
vitality and vigor, and the ranks of the un-
married are largely filled by the physically
unfit.
In Prof. Humphrey's "Report on Aged
Persons," containing an Reetallin of eight
hundred and twenty-four individuals of
bobh sexes, and between the ages of eighty
and one hundred, lb is stated that forty-
eight per cent, were poor, forty-two per
cern. were in comfortable circumstance,
and only ten per cent, were described as
being in ailment circumstances. Dr. Hum-
phrey points out that these ratios "must
not be regarded as representing the rola
tions of poverty and affluence to longevity,
because, in the first piece, the poor at all
ages and in all diatricti bear a large pro-
portion to the affluent; and, secondly, the
returns aro largely made from the lower
and middle dames, and in many instances
from the inmates of union workhouses,
where a good number of aged people are
found." It mud also be noticed that the
"past life -history" of these individuals
showed that the greater proportion (fifty.
five per cant) "had lived in cOmfortable
circumstances, " and that only thirber.five
per cent. had been peon In his work on
"Human Longeviby, " Easton says "11 is
not the rich or great .... that beee,rne old,
bub such as use much exercise'are exposed
bo the fresh air, and whose food is plain
and moderate—as farmers, gardeners,
fishermen laborers, soldiers, and such
men as perhaps never employed their
thoughts on the means used to promote
longevity. "
Merely to enumerate the causes to w hich
longevity has been attributed in attempt
ing to account: for individua oases would
ID a task of some mapnitude ; it will be
sufficient to mention a few somewhat pro-
bable theories. Moderation in eating and
drinking is often declared to be a cause of
longevity, and the atsertion is fully min
reiterated by Dr. Humphrey's inquiries. Of
his fifty-two centenarians, twelve were
recorded as total abstainers from alcoholic
drinks throughout life, or for long period,
twenty had taken very little alcohol; eight
were reported as moderate in their use of
It and only three habitually indulged in
it. Tee habit of • temperance in head,
good powers ot digestion, and nominees
of bleep are other main obaracteristies of
mod of those who attain advanced years,
and may be regarded as causes of longevity.
Not a few old persons are found on inquiry
to take credit) to themselves for their own
condition. and to attribute lb to some re
markable peculiarity in their habits or mode
of life. it is said that Lerd Mansfield, who
reached the age of eighty nine, was wont to
enquire into the habilis of life of all aged
witnesses who appeared before him, and
that only in one habit, namely, that of early
rising, VMS there any general concurrence.
•Health is doubting often promoted by early
rising, but the habit Is not nem:wearily con.
dialect to longevity. Ib is, as Sir 11. Hon
land points out, more probable that the
vigor of the individuals maintains the habit
than that the labter alone maintains the
vitality.
Thus, to take only a few examples, the
immoderate use of sugar hat been regarded
not only as a panacea, bub as decidedly
oonducive to length of day& • Dr. Slare, a
physician of the last century, ha t§ leached
the case of a centenarian who weed to mix
sugar with all his food, and the doctor
himself was so convinced pf the "
virtue" of this subetend that he adopted
the practice, and beaded of his health and
strength in his old age. Another member

The whole term of life may be divicled
into the three main periode ; of growth
and development, of maturity, and of
doable. No hard and fad lino on be
drewn between these two latter phamis of
existence the one should peed gradually
into the other until the entire picture le
changed. Diminiehed conservative power
and the consequeht triumph of disinteg-
ratieg forces ate the protninent featuree
of the third period whioh begine at different
Hynes in differenb indfriduale, ite advent
being mainly oontrolled by the general

Walking is a natural form of exercise
and subserves many important purposes:
not a few old people owe the maintenance
of their health anti vigor to their daily
"constitutional." Ending is an excellent
form of exercise, but available only by a
few; the habib, if acciairod in early life,
should be kept up as long as possible, sub-
ject to the caution already given as to
violent exercise. Old persons of both sexes
fond of gardening, and so aithabed that they
may gratify their tastee, are Much to be
envied. B7dy and mind are alike exercised
by what Lord Bacon justly termed "the
purest of human pleasures." Dr. Parkes
goea eo far as to say that light garden or
agricultural work is a very good exercise
for naen pact eeventy "II; calls into play
the muscles of the abdomen and back, which
in old men are often but little!used, and the
work ia so varied that 110 muscle is kepb

With regard to food, we find from Dr
ilutophryea report that ninety per cent of the
aged persons were either moderate" or
'mat' eaters, and such moderation le
quite in accord with the teachings of physi-
°logy. In old age the changes in the bodily
tissues gradually become less and less active,
and lees food is required to make up for the
daily waste. The appetite and the peavor of
digestionere correspondingly climinished,and

whom the skin is only too apt to become
