HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.

Some people keep young to middle ag and long after. 'They don't grow gre lill long alter numbers of people tliei own age, or, if they do, their grey hair become them so well that you wouldn' 'ike to think of them anyhow eisi \\ here do wrinkles and grey hair com Horn?" "How can they be avoided'; Here are several answers to these que. tious from many points of view. "If you want to keep evergreen," say i popular doctor, "don't take things to seriously. A sense of humor is a splei did thing. Making mountains out u n nlcliiUs ages one almost quicker thn anything. I'eopic who take things to much lo heart grow old before tliei iiino.. Don't meet trouble half waDon't worry. The small boy who sal that wrinkles were 'fretwork' wasn't fa wrung. Take life easily. Cultivate cheerful frame of mind, 'it is the peopl who' look on the bright side of tiling who keep evergreen." Overwork ag.'-s many people. Indm u'v's a line thing, hut a virtue, ma i asily run ti> seed and become a faull Xo human being was ever meant t work on and on without rest. Man doctors- insist that everyone shoul. whenever possible, take a* nap in th afternoon. And don't work too fas Don't rush. Take things quietly an steadil.vl Don't excite yourself ovei i very little trifle. Don't lie, restless an Impatient.

It is the mcai: ami petty traits of character very often that bring lines i ml wrinkles to the most open face—the small spites, the petty jealousies. They have a knack of steadily and surciy eating up all that is sound and whole sale in the character. And as moral 'lis lead physically, premature age conies mi with all its undesirable signs. Keep j our temper under control. A burst o c passion often does one incalculable harm. It jars the nerves and upsets the whole constitution. . Very hysterical people- arc frequently quite prostrate for days after a hirst of temper. Wrinkles are often caused by facial lontorlions—mannerisms like constantly lifting the eyebrows when talking, frowning when in thought, twisting the month up, ami that sort of tiling." Try to cultivate tie reposeful face, if need not be wooden or expressionless. Not a bit of it. But talk with your mouth, not with every muscle of your face.

E'en bitter thoughts, indulged at will. Depress I lie mouth with cunning skill. He sweet and merry, always gay, And wrinkles will not come your way.

If yon want to keep young don't trv lo keep up an appearance beyond your means. The continued strain 'ami worry soon do their work. An inactive aimless life, on the other hand, ric'i. heavy diet, all bring wrinkles and grcv hairs. Re open-hearted. The oldest people at heart-whatever their yearsa.? those who go about with a suspicious feeling that every laugh or joke .s against them, and that, "'very' little kindness, however well-meant, is actuated by some secret motive. Over secretive people, too, often turn grev early in life.
