HOW TO LIVE TO EIGHTY.
MR. FREDERIC HARRISON'S HEALTH MAXIMS. Five golden rules of health were given to a representative of the "Daily Mail" by Mr. Frederic Harrison, author, critic, bibliophile, ex-professor, barrister, historian, traveller, - and amateur gardener, on his eighty-first birthday on October 18, celebrated at his home at Hawkhurst, Kent: ... * 1. Abstain from tobacco, spirits, mad 6 dishes, and all such dreadful things. I am satisfied with a little bit of mutton and rice pudding.' .2. Rise lrom a meal with an appetite. I believe people eat too much. 3. Wsjlk every, day for two hours. This I am going to do as soon as I get through a pile of letters and telegrams from Florence and Rome. I am too. old to play at tennis, and golf is too slow. 4. Sleep eight hours. People cannot sleep who smoko themselves black in the face, eat too much,' and have not walked enough.. 5. More important than all—be content with what you liave- got. Take things quietly. Mr, Harrison rose to greet the inquiry by the."Daily Mail" representative with a merry laugh. "I am happy to say," he observed, "that I .am very well, very' bu6.v, very lively. I am singularly blessed in that I have all my senses just as clear as twenty or five-and-twenty years ago- My hearing is as. good. As for glasses, I do not need them."
