ad an address on thil "object, under the
auapioos of the Chioago Medioal Society,
to an audienoe of 600 people in the Pub-
lie Librarj Building. The addreae waa
replete with epigrammatio aentenoee and
may be summed up in tfaie wise:
"It baa bean said that It il better to be
born luck; than rich, but It ia in fact
better to be born tough than either luck;
or riob. After forty eat leai and elimi
nate more. Drink more pure water and
keep the periataltio wave of prosperity
constantly moving down the alimentary
canal. Many people suffer from too
much businsst and not enough health
When such ia the eats they had better
out out business and aooeity for a time
and tome down to musb atd milk and
rat principles Don't be foolish. Eat
and play more. Iodulge io less fret
and fume and more (ruit and fun.
There are people too indolent to be
healthy literally too lazy to live. Work
your braina and keep in touch with peo
ple. Do aomelhing for others and forget
yourselves. There is nothing ao insane
and detrimental to mind and health as
the conversation of people on their aohes
and pains and troubles. The froth of
whipped eggs is a tonic eompared to it.
All our appetitea are conditional. En
joyment depends upon the scarcity. A
worker in any field whose age is near
either the shady or sunny side of fifty
should consider himself in hit prime,
good for another half cen tury of tem
perate, judicious work, Let grandma
wear bright ribbons and gandy gowns if
tht colors become ber, and let grandpa
be aa dadiah at he pleaaes, with fiashey
neckties and cheerful garb. Both will
be younger for it, and, besides, it ia in
armony with nature. Gray hair it
honorable; that which ia dyed is ao
abomination before the Lord. Cultivate
thankfulness and cheerfulness. An
ounce of good cheer it worth t pound of
melancholy." Medioal Newt.
BE GOOD FOR SOMETHING-
The highest virtue oonsisti of mi
that merely being good. It ia
good for something; and good for soma-
tbinz not to one's self alone, but to
others and to God, That negative,
self-complacent virtue which ia only
strict abstention from evil, ia of I
quality far inferior to the virtue which
suppresses evil or helps another to re
list it. Virtue, in the old Latit sense,
is synonymous with valor. It implies
not only an espousal, but a champion'
hip, and, if necessary, a fight. Virtue
it not only being good, but doing good,
and tht better we ire tbe more we
ought to do. We believe in tb
words ot R. R. Bowker.
"It ia bad for tht ignorant and tht
vieious to do ill. It it worse for the
eduoatad and honest to do nothiug.

IN VIOLET LAND,
BY FRANK L.
Let's say this is my grave, Jenny, this mound of violets blue,
And I'm beneath the violets, dreaming dreams of you 1
If bit I violet should feel tht light touch of your hand,
I think that I thould know it in the silenoe and the sand.
Tears? Nay, Life baa too many I Dear, don't you know, some day,
That wa shall kin Goodbye, ind one shall walk tht loneeomt way ?
When tht snow it on the mountains, or the ooloi's in the clod,
There'll be mound of violets between our hearts an' God I
Io the snowfall, in the blossoms, weary feet of one ahall roam ;
One ahall watch from darkened windows in the place the heart calls "Home,"
Vainly in the twilight stillness, listening for Love's icoenti sweet,
And the letoh-cliok at the gate there, an' the nnreturning feet.
One shall question every shadow, every blossom, every gleam,
And shall tremble io the aileoce at the echo of I dream 1
One ahall call ind hear no answer, 'tis the story of the years ;
Love, thtt leads nt to the starlight, tees the blight stars shine through tears I
Yet unhraid your bright, gold tresaea ere Life's morning knows the night ;
Let them hide the shadow from me let them ripple out the light I
Let me feel the joy of loving let me bold you to my heart,
Facing fearlessly tht future daring even Death to part I
'Tis enough that Love has known us led our willing feet bo far:
Wt that aaw Love's sweetest sunrise shall we fear the evening star T
Haud'in-baod tbe way together I Love and Life are swift io flight ;
Kin Love s violets "Good morning" till the lime to kits "Good night I"
TKE MOTHER GIRL.
She it not t bud of fashion nor a butter-fly of style,
And there art no bogus trimminga in tbt makeup of her amile :
She needs no artificial filing to enhance her girlish eharms,
And a god would go in rapturea o'er the plumpness of her arms
Aa aht wasbea up the dishes and the minutea speed along,
Dancing gayly as they pass ber to the musio of her song,
In her eyes a soft expression of a pure maternal love
That must surely be (be envy of those angels up above.
She'a the joy of every home
Underneath yon arching dome
Till ahe gives her beirt't affection to another.
Lnoky he who wins the true,
Loving, loyal maiden who
Tries to lift tbe daily burden from her mother.
Whet the weekly toil b over ind aht duns her Sunday gown
There ia not pampered darling on the earth can turn her down.
In the winning game of beauty not I fashionable pearl,
Though ablate with oottly jewels, can outehine the mother girl.
Sweet simplicity is noted in her nnassumlng graoc,
And ahe needa no oolor touohiog to put bloom into her face,
Fur the biuoil of iiealili ia ovuiaing through her veina ; ber rosy blush
Isn't made for tht occasion by the decorative brush.
She's the very lairett gem
Io our beauty diadem.
Search creation and you cannot find mother
On the face of ill tht earth
That potseasea half tht worth
Of tht girl who lifts tht butdet from her mother.

Success.
We grow old because we do not know
enough to keep young, just ss we do not
know enough to keep well. Siokoess is
t result of iguorance and wrong thinking.
Tbe time will come when a man will no
more harbor thoughta that will maki
bim sick or weak than he would think of
putting hit bands into file. No man
can bo sick if he always has right
thoughts and takes ordinary care of hia
body. If he will think only youthful
thoughts he can maintain hia youth far
beyond the usual period.
If you would "be young when old,'
ad pt the sun dial's motto, "I record
none but hours of sunshine." Never
mind the dark or shadowed hours. For
get tht unpleasant, unhappy days. Re
member only tbe days ot rich, experi
ences; let the others drop into oblivion.
It it laid that "long livers art great
hopere. If you keep your hope bright
in spite of discouragements, and meet all
difficulties with oheerful faoe, it will be
very difficult for age to tract its furrows
on your brow. There it longevity in
