Is Life Short or Long?

If life is so short as some think it is, it may be made to seem much longer and sweeter by a better care for our comforts. Minor troubles are much magnified by neglect and delay. We give too much time to hunting up causes when we ought to deal promptly with effects. This is much the case with pain, which should be cured at once and cause looked into afterwards. Miss Ida M. Fleming, 7 S. Carey St, Baltimore, Md., states that for years she was subject to frequent attacks of neuralgia, and tried any number of remedies without avail. She was given quinine, which she says affected her nervous system. She suffered night and day during these attacks until she tried St. Jacobs Oil, which finally cured her. Much attention in scientific circles has been attracted by a lecture delivered recently before the five Academies, by G. M. Janssen, on the “Solar Atmosphere.” He affirmed that oxygen is entirely absent from the great luminary. He said that the radiating surface is protected by several gaseous envelopes, the outermost and most effective of which is hydrogen. His discoveries prove, he says, that the present relations of the sun to the planets will continue during many aeons, during which the outer planets may evolve into the earth’s condition of development.
