THE OLD-AGE DISEASE
Boston, said the funny man, is not a locality; Boston Is a state of mind. To those who have experienced Boston this is a truth that needs not to be proved.
With equal accuracy it may be said that Old Age Is not a number of years, It is a state of mind.
It has been observed that a woman is as old aa she looks, and a man Is as old as he feels; as a matter of fact, both are as old as they think.
There Is nno need of any¬ body growing old. For age is entirely a disease of the soul, a condition of ill health, which with reasonable caution may be avoided. It is no more necessary than measles, which the world once thought every one ought to have; now we know better.
The huma nbeing begins ex- totence as • vigorous animal, whoie body naturally weakena with time and fUially pertohea. The body runt Ita courae, "rtpet and rtpet, and rota and rou," Ufct aa apple or any other organiaed growth of matter. Banoe ot course there la a decrepitude of one'a frame.
But thla Isn ot at all true ot the mind. AU things in na¬ ture, from muahrooms to oaks, from InsecU to elephante. and even mounUlns and suns and aystems, have their periods of growth, maturity, and decay. The mind, however, has no such law. It U the "one ex- peptlon" as Mark Hopkins called it.
And the mind Is the real man. And the mind can be as young at ninety as it Is at twenty-one.
Asking ourselves what it is that makea youthfulness, we discover the anawer to be that it consists in three things:
Work, Growth, and Faith. 80 long as life functions in these three ways it Is young. When any or more of these elements fhU oft we are old.
By work is meant an active participation in the Interests ot human kind. Notice how the boy cannot be Idle, he wants to be at something, he bums to play the game.
Idleness or aloofness is the essence of growing old. The business man who "retires" and devotes himself to doing nothing is committing suicide.
John Bigelow recently died at the age of ninety-five, anl up to the last retained his in- teest In affairs.
It is work that keeps men young, more than play. No man should give up selling dry-goods If that U his life business, unless he has found some other business equally congenial and Interesting.
I know a woman of eighty, mother of eleven grown chil¬ dren, who Is as young as any of them, for he declines to be shelved.
The way to stay young is to keep In the game.
Secondly, growth. That is to say. mindgrowth. Let the mind be always learning, alert for new truth, eager for new accomplishments.
It ts when one's Intellect closes, ceases to learn and be¬ comes an onlooker that old 'age sets In. How many old people Impress you as beyond teachableness! They have settled everything, religion, |pc!itics, prllosophy.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks, but becaase he will not le.ira new trick Is exactly the reason the dog is old.
It is when one takes up the study of Oreek at seventy, or at eighty begins to nvestlgate psychology, that his mind breathes Spring air.
As'iong as a mind Is teach¬ able, open and inquiring, it is young.
There ought to be special schools for people of sixty and over. Who goes to school keeps young.
Lostly, faith, not Intellectual assent to any statement 'which operation is no more to do with faith than sole- leather), but a general belief in men and things; confid¬ ence; ettled, abiding courage and cheer.
Faltli in one's self, in one's desliny, in mankind, in the universe and in Him who managfvs It, this Is youth's peculiar liquor.
Doubt is the very juice of senility. CjTiicism, pessimism, and despair are the dust that blows from a drled-up soul.
And faith Is not something over which you have no con¬ trol. It is a cultivable thing, It Is a habit.
So long as one keeps at work, continues to learn, and has faith he Is young
Whoever does not work, does not learn, and has no faith. Is old even at thirty. Old age Is a state of mind

However, we must admit, when tlie necessary materials caiuiot be pur¬ chased locally or the business man of town does not try to acconunodate such inquiries; then it is an entire¬ ly different story.
