Then with your mouth closed and vour ehin raised, in order to relieve ail constraint about vour chest, draw in all the air you can without olence, doing it gradually and without pain- ful effort. Hold the air as long as you can and breathe it out through the mouth or nose, in the former case with effort. Close your lips as soon as all is out, and practice doing all your inhalations through your nos- trils, néver under any circimstances inhaling through the mouth. I would rather drink the water left in a finger bowl at the close of a white house dinner than to take in one spoonful of Wash- igton air through my mouth. Do this breath- ing while in bed in the morning for five or ten minutes. This has been my con- stant habit for a number of You will remember the bible ‘God breathed into man’s nostrils the b of life, and he became a living soul.’ & - speare and other famous men spoak of the nostrils as the only proper channoel to bes used in breathing, and it is an uncontradicted fact that the Indians who never breathed through their mouth were never subject to thousands of our diseases, until comiug in coutact with modern civilization be was induced to adopt the white man's silly method, and he at once became susceptible to all of those ills of the Caucasian.

[ often walk about with my hat off in the sun, ana it was a practice of Geethe to do this for an hour at noon. He said it stimulated his in- teliect and that there was a vital and quick cuing power in the suu's rays, Thirty years ago I began to ve bald.” My father and younger brother were as bald us the palm of your uand when they were forty, but I told them when they informed me that 1 was got. ting bald that I would never be so. I had resolved to prevent it and 1 did. [ never wear a hat when 1 can belp it, and I am not as barefooted today ou the top of my head as I was ia 1860, I wash my hair whenever I wash my face and hands.” HOW A FLIND MAN EXERCISES, 1 have a wuscular exercise, a light dumb- bell exercise,” Dr. Milburn went on, “and have often used Indian clubs, and in addition Taylor merson, Some gymnastic movements for the legs, chest, ete. As to the mass ment, I suppose I am the most expert massage operator in this country, and am also the best groomed auimal in this respect. Tmmediately after getting out bed, I take a cold, tepid or warm bath, and rub down vigorously, and [ spend from’ one to two hours every day in groomivg my veu- erable carcass. I used to be brought constantly in contact with Henry Ward Beecher, and other promi uent characters of large physique, thirty years or 80 ago, and they werd alw; fering me ubout my small vitalit don't you laugh and’ grow fat, thoy say. ‘Well,' I would reply, ‘I laugh enough but don't know how to grow fat.” Since I have changed my plan of life I have buried them all. “I use horsehair mats in rubbing down.” he coutinued, “and thon put on vaseline or oil and rub into ail parts of my body. The oil taken up by the skin in this way is as #ood us food, and it keops the cuticle in ex- cellont condition. This use of oil was com won among the Greeks and Romans, and you will find it among many savage tribes,” “'How about your eating? 1 asked. “Of course,” replied Lr. Milburn, “a man must vary his diet according to his habits. If you eat certain articlo the year round it will certainly give you the itch. The diet should couform to the season. The duke of Montrose once put up itehing poles in Scot- land for the benefit of the peasantry, and you know Sandy feeds on oatmeal tweivo months of the year. The things were @ subject of cousiderable ridicule but the peoplo apprect- ated them, and whenever they used them they said as thoy rubbed, ‘God bloss the duke of Montrose.'! When I come to eating, 1take a cup of water and sip it. It should not be drunk. That is the only water I taste during the day except a giass of water at the beginning of dinner, AL the water I drink *Why would | during a period of my pract Kcllcy, St}gcrm&» Co. is boiled. Then cowes porridge and fruit the former with milk and sugar. Then some brown bread and butter, a littlo fish and a little bit of chop or steak, and then I wind up with two boiled eggs. 1 have eaten from two to four boiled eggs every day of the year for thirty years, and when 1 speuk in the even- ing Lalways eat two boiled eggs before doing. For lunch I eat a few biscuits, a lit- tle cheese, herring and shavings of dried beef, ““For dinner at 6 o'clock a simple soup, one course of meat with one or two vegetables, green things in spring, and above all, onions I'am very strong on onions. I belicve it to be the most valuable table that enters the stomac! 1 take boiled milk before going to bed, which is the last thing, and iten- ables me to sleep well. My digestion is as perfect as when a boy, and I think that with- out a doubt, any man, by adopting the same methods that I'did, can” achieve the same re- sults,” SUPREME JUSTICE DRADLEY ON LONGEVITY. Dr. Milburn here attributes his good health and working powers to his habits of life. Many of our spryest old men say that habits are little, but the inherited constitution is everything, Take for instance, Justice Joseph P. Bradley of the United States supreme court, who has, for the last twenty years been one of the most learred men on the supreme bench, and who now does as much work 4s any man in public life. He was born in 1813, was seventy-eight years old last ' Mavch, ana his working hours are from 10 to 12 daily. There is no brighter mind in the country thau his, aud his range of knowledge is as wide asthat of any other manon the bench. I miet him at Deer Park during the past summer and chatted with him 10 his iealth. Said he: ‘I have been a worker all my life, ana during & great part of my career T have put in from twelve to sixtecu hours out of twenty-four, It is my habit now when the court is in session at Washington to put in four bours on my cases before I go to the capitol. I rise carly, take my breakfast and work from 7 until 1. The court meets at 12 and I sit there and ass upon cases until 4, I then return to my house upon the udjourn- ment of the session of the court, and take a couple of hours reluxation until dinner time, Sowetimes I take & nap. After dinner I usually spend the evening in my library where T work until [ get sleepy. 1 vary m work with philosophical or mathematical ations, and sometimes take a rest by good novel. I am very fond of good fiction, and I have a natural tendency toward mathematics, THE CONSTITUTION EVERYTHING, “I attribute my health and working pow- s,” said the judge, “toan excellent consti- tution, added to a moderate degree of ter porance in eating and drinking. My tath was a farmer, and he married a farmer's r. Ho was eighteen years old when ho was married and my mother was seven- teeu, and I was the first child and apparently inherited the vigor of both parents. 1 was brought up on a farm and spent a part of every year upon one until I was twenty, After I'went to college I spent my vacations in teaching, and [ also did considerable sur- veymg. White I was at college I studied six- teen hours a day, and I think that I worke too hard during my early life, and especially of the law. 1 WAS very ambitious to succecd, and when 1 uad important cases I often sat up until morniug studying them. One nignt I remembver ~ well, and it was this experience that led me to be moder- ate. I had a very knotty problem to solve, and I worked away far into the night. Towaras morniug I was shocked to find my mind all at onee refuse to act. I could not think at all upon the case and I feared that [ had paralysis of the brain or at least the tirst symptoms of it. I took m wet towel and laid it over my head and went to bed and slept about three hours. When I awoke 1 found my mind all right, but I decided not to risk such a thing again. I have since been more temperate in my work, and am regular fu my working hours, AS TO SMOKING AND DRINKING, “{ have never patronized tne doctors to any extent,” continued Judge Bradley, “and I ve bee Il the greater part of my life. When 1 was about twenty years old 1 was troubled with billlous attacks. ‘Tnese con- tinued a number of years and then left me.

Horatio King, who was postmaster general in Buchanan's cabinet, and who now, generation later. is as fond of Washington 1 social life as he was thon. I met treet the other day, and my first question was as to his habits of excercise. Said he: “I am a great believer in walking, and I think ono of tue s cerets of my good health is iu that [ have never owned a_horse or riage. I walk until I get tived, aud then it I have not reachod my destinetion I take a stroot « As to my other rules of life, I don't really know that | have any except those of orui temperance. 1 have alway: been accustomed to plain living.

" Said he:' *I attribute my long life to an excellent constitution and the only ad- vice I would give to young men would be to avoid the use of tobaceo.
