Life insurance actuaries have plenty of statistics on old age, but they have no dictum regarding how to live to be one hundred years old. They tell you, for example, that after seventy wo men live longer than men. The first year of one's 'life is the• most danger- ous. If you. survive ytiu will reach the same death rate at the age of sixty - live. You will have the least chance 6f dying between the ages of ten and twelve. Women, as a rule, live longer than men, But life seems to lose color ,after sixty-five. The fact that 28 per cent. of all persons over sixty-five in this country must depend upon charity for a living is emphasized -13y the fact that -thirty-six persons out of every thousand more than. sixty-five years old take their own lives. If a woman survives the period of ' forty to forty-six and a man the period from fifty to sixty, both are likely to live to a ripe old age.. • At sixty-five. you have a clia'i"ice to live an average of 11.6 more years. At seventy the expectation is 9.1 ,years,; . at eighty, 5.25 years; 'at ,ninety','3 years. But women have better chances than Hien. Rules For Long Life. There is no one recipe for longevity, but there are certain well established suggestions, most actuaries agree. 1. Don't worry. ' 2. Be temperate. 3. Get plenty of fresh air. 4. Be examined thoroughly once a year. 5. Don't get fat. The carelessness of .the average man regarding his health is the des- pair of medical examiners for life in- surance companies. ' "The average man," one of these men said, "will send his motor car to the garage every six months for. overhauling, but he .will refuse to let a doctor examine ..Lim as frequently. He is afraid of what will be found. One day he falls over in a faint, and then finds a dis- ease advanced too far for cure. Ile could have detected the first advances of that disease by a careful examina- tion once a year. He would have been - told to quit eating so much sugar, to leave alcohol alone, or to do this and that before it was too late." Science Benefits Young. At present there is litttle evidence to show that people are living much longer. This is because most of the benefits of modern medical science go to the young. Infant mortality and tuberculosis are being greatly re- duced, but ha vicory over death will not show in the mortality tables for many. years. Meantime older persons have no such aid to prolong their lives, but are actually threatened with an alarming increase in the degenerat- ing diseases of heart and nerve strain. Prohibition, however, is going to prolong life, all insurance men agree. The moderate drinker, insurance men say, is a poor risk, and the heavy drinker a very bad risk. Are you a fat man? If so, you have less chance to live to be one hundred than a thin mail. "Fat," says the head of the medical conservation department of perhaps rite biggest insurance compeny in the -country, "is a parasite and breeds heart failure. Brewers'.iorses fed on malt are fat, but they can't stand .lard work. There is a fat tree in Africa on the inside of which grows a parasite which feeds on the real fibre of the tree, weakening its grain." Quarantine. This is a very poor word for the meaning it now has. It originated from the Italian word "Quarante" meaning'forty, and was used in Ven- ice and other. Italian forts in the mid- dle ages, when ships with pestilence on board were detained for a period of forty days. The object of quaran- tine is to destroy, detain or isolate in- fection with the least possible hind- rance to business, trade and travel. The cure for quarantine is Sanita- tion. A city with few rats could not have an .epidemic of plague; a port supplied with a pure water supply meed not fear a water -borne epidemic of cholera; a thoroughly vaccinated community need have no fear of•sma11e pox; a people free front lice need not fear an outbreak of Typhus fever. --'-- _--_ -- •ea - Removing insulation.

CANADA'S SIX THOUSAND BLIND Idle Pity Giving Way to Prac- tical Effort on Their Behalf. You have doubtless been interested in what you have read or heard re- garding; the progress of a national effort on: behalf of the blind of Qanada, Do you realize just what this effort means ? Here are some of the. things tl-1t are being done: "'Industrial training and employment is being provided for the blind in centres established in Halifax, To- ronto,'Winnipeg and Vancouver. Useful handicrafts and the reading and writing of embossed characters are taught in the homes of those blind people who for various reasons are unable to take training at one of the regular centres. The product of the home -workers is ';ought and sold. Personal contact is established with recently -blinded persons, and with cases which are sometimes so old that they become nw in a very real sense. This work is done by an experienced Field Agent. Books, magazines, and ,music in embossed types are circulated free to the blind of Canada. The monthly average circulation o . books, etc.,. is close to eight hundred. The Institute also arranges for the transcription of music for any of its members at cost price. i An active publicity propaganda Effect. Price, 25 cents.

Of all the technical works of man that signal the march of civilization, the hydro -electric development is the most romantic figure. Indeed, it is at once the pioneer of industry, and its most finished achievement. It goes into the wilderness primeval with all the refinements of the sheltered la- boratory; 'and always it must break its own trail—roughhew its aggressive way against all the obstacles an un- friendly nature can devise. And be- cause nature broke her rule for once, and played engineer herself in the laying out of an ide!h1 site for such, a project, the story of • Tasmania's hydro -electric development .4s excep- tionally interesting. Out of the south end of the Great Lake flows the river Shannon. ParaI- lel with the lake and the Shannon runs the river Ouse -120 ft. above lake level, 1,120 ft. below Shannon level, and only a few smiles from either. So pinch engineering had nature accom- plished in reacliuess for the electrical Pioneers: and then added, to clinch the deal, a wonderful natural reser- voir alongside the Ouse, just where it was needed as a restraining basin. All the builders had to do, then, was to dam the ahannon at the lake out- let, cut a canal across to the reser- voir, and, install the machinery. But kind as nature had been, this providential basin could not be used without improvements. 'r1iree low earthen dams were built, from 980 ;to 1,863 ft, long, 2 ft. to 8 ft. 9 in. high, With provision for added altitude as the future demands. A 30 -ft, concrete spillway in the south dam insures against flood damage.

The world is a great book He bath written, He turneth the Ieaves for me slowly; They are all inscribed with images and letters, He poureth light on the pictures and the words. He taketli ile by the hand to the hill- top of vision, And my soul is glad when I perceive His meaning; In the valley also He walketh beside me, In the dark places He whispereth to my heart.

Cornelius on his first visit to the seasidetwent down to the beach at low tide and saw a big fishing smack lying high and dry on the mild flats. "Hey, mister," he said to a fisher- man, "how do you get that big boat down to the water?" "We don't take the boat down to the water; mate," said the fisherman, "The water comes -up to the boat." Cornelius gave a harsh laugh. "Say, mister," he said, "I may be from the country, but I ain't goin' to mailer that." She Made Sure. Bridget was one of the new type of "domestic help." She knew all about the science of the thing. One day her employer—there are no mistresses nowadays!—remarked to her: "The water you brought for luncheon this morning tasted rather peculiar, Bridget."

"Well," replied the captain, "we tried to send him ashore, but a ser- geant of police hailed us and said that on no account was the to be landed or we'd be fined £ 100, so we just kept him on board," "But did you not signal to the depot, as I said?"
