THE LATE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.
Everybody ■ knows that the late Archbishop of Canterbury was one of the most hard-working and active of men up to almost the very last. On tire subject of longevity he once wrote: —"I do not find the burden of life heavy. I have observed no particular rule about food, etc, except not to eat or drink what I found disagree with me. I have little doubt that total abstinence from intoxicating liquors conduces to. longevity. I know nothing for or against the use of tobacco, except that it is an annoyance to those who do not smoke. I cannot tell what has led to my having lived to nearly seventy-«even." It is curious how often the last sentence figures in tlie "confessions" of those who reach an advanced age.
