HOW TO BECOM'E OLD.
Metchnikeff Eats No Raw Food. of
,
• Any Kind.
Professor Metchnikoff; is sevent5%
years eld. According to r fife professor
the phenomena 'of old age are the re-
sult of containination of the blood by
intestinal;potsns. Among these one
of the chief is Indol. '
This poison can be eliminated by
cateful attention to diet along the
lines indthated in his books and artt
cies. The object of the diet is to in-
troduce good microbes into the sys-
tem. These are of two kinds, the one
produCing'sugar and, the' other -lactic,
acid. To an interviewer he said: ,
• Por. years_ have ' eaten ,notliillg

or otherwise. find rhy sugar in

Well-known. preparation of soured
milk. This I take in the early morn-
ing at my first br'ealcfast. I begin with
a plate full of . vegetable bouillon.
After my pot of soured milk I drink a
clip of weak tea -not black, as you
have it in England.'
-Professor .Metchnikoff Is notoriously
vigorous for his years, and seems to
find no need for holidays. He as ab.
senting himself from the Pasteur In.
stitute during the month of 'July, and
has taken up his residence in the for.
est of Rambouilet, where he is devot-
ing himself niore ardently than ever
to scientific 'researchl
Professor Metchnikoff says that he
persists in his regime because in his
own case it has given such good re-
sults. He comes from a short-lived
family; he is the only one remaining,
and he attributes this fact to his sys,
tern of diet. Many savants of his gen-
eration are unable .to continue their
labors, witilst he supports with ease
the close and exacting labor of the
laboratory. He takes meat; and vege-
tables at his two principal meals in
the day, lunch and dinner, but • his'
consumption a meat is very restrict-
ed,.though he does not insist that it

A PERTINENT QUESTION.
Is the Brain Necessary to Human

Can a man live with faculties un-
impaired after a large portion of his
brain has been removed, or with no
brain'fit'all? Several recent gates are
leading scientists to answer the (plea -
tion in the affirmative, however much
such art answer would have been
scouted a•little while ago.

sliding down the baluste,s, he tell WIZ,

The famous surgeon, M. Destot,
comes forward with an incident as
striking. It Is the case of a stone' ma-
son, who in mounting a large cornice
was so seriously wounded that he lost
the left frontal bone and the left fron-
tal lobe of the brain. Alter tweivo
days of unconsciousness he began to
recover, and, according to the sur-
geon, is not only well, but in the pos-
session of all his senses.
When in Algiers some time ago, Dr.
Bruch treated an Arab for an ugly
wound about the left eye, which had
been Caused by the blow of. a ham-
mer. Tile patient remained in the
hospital service fully two months and.
during that time did not show the
slightest evidence of cerebral trouble.
At the end of that period he became
unconscious and died hi a few days.
The ,post mortem examination clevel-
oped the astounding fct that he was
totally deetitute of brairis.
The anatomist ,and the psychologist
alike are studying, these cases ,with
tremendous interest, but no explana.

ing must Ole taken off the melon, or
two thinner ohes, mixing the inner
one and the seeds and pulp with
the fruit stewed to provide the
juice. The red juice yielded by red
currants gives the best effect,

pote is no less good when maspberry,

plaee. The fruit from which the,
juice is ,extracted shoald be slowly

The up-to-date housewife tabooes
all heavy 'cooking utensils. Those of
light aluminum, granite a.nd double -
plated tin are great savers of en-
ergy.
If you spill tea on, a 'tablecloth
cover it with common salt and leave
it on for a while. When the cloth
is washed, all stains -will have dis-
appeared.
Before washing fine lace or mus-
lin collars and muffs, baste them to
a piece of 'heavier muslin and it will
not be apt to stretch or tear in the
process' of laundering._
A good plan is 'to keep 'buttons in
glass bottles. A glance tells you
exactly what is inside thus saving
a good deal of time which would be
taken up.in turning over the but-
tons 11 put in a box.
To remove ooffee stains, mix
equal parts of yolk of egg and gly--

with water instead of yolk of egg.

How Far They Could Travel.

a train one day noticed that two
young men who were fellow -passen-
gers, and who were travelling on
passes, did not pay. Turning to
them, she said- 'How does it Come
that you young men do not pay ?"
"Oh," they explained, "we are
travelling on our looks," She loolc

you must be near your journey's
