THE SECRET OF YOUTH.
Wise Elderly Women Who Refuse to
Grow Old.
From AZ Nen York Recorde

From the NeD York Recorde~
1t Is sad to see how many elderly and
middle-aged women take it for granted
that life holds nothing for them but the
role of grandmother. Many woman has
little time for study while rearing family
but when the children are married and gone
to homes of their own, then comes the time
when she needs some outside interest. If
she has not something to take her out of
herself she will turn to gossip and fancy
work to keep her busy.
This is just the time for her to devote her
self to some study. Let her take up the one
that was favorite in her school days,
whether it be one of the sciences, painting,
or music. IL she has no prediction for
anything, let her try several things until
she knows what she likes best.
II she never does anything worth show
ing the time will not be lost, for the happi-
! ness found in these hours of absorpti in a
chosen pursuit cannot easily be estimated.
But the middle-aged woman may sur
prise herself by making a great success Of
her undertaking. The time would fail me
TO tell OF the distinction that has been won
in different fields by people far from young.
Schliemann was "a years of age before he
knew a word of Greek George Eliot was
IS when she put her hand to the first Of her
great novels. Prescott published the first
of his almost perfect histories at the age of
IS. Ogilvy, who made an excellent trans
lation OF Homer began to study Greek
at so.
The first of the Waverly novels appeared
when the author was Al and Cowper was
nearly so before he did his best work.
When we think of Mary Sommerville at 80
writing upon the physical science, OF Glad
! stone at so hewing his oaks and studying
Homer, and of Tennyson, also an octo-
genarian, writing Across the Bar, >" no one
can hold his hands and say: II am too old
to do anything Of any moment"
"a man is only as old as he feels, says
| Oliver Wendell Holmes, who certainly
carries young heart, if his head is gray.
Numberless cases that are not 80 marked
might be cited. A woman whose stories
have done an incelculable amount Of good
| did not dream that she could write until
| her children had gone to homes of their
own, and she began to write to beguile her
| loneliness. Another woman, whose songs
are household favorites, did not know any
thing of the theory of music till she was so,
| when she began to study harmony. To-day
| she is well-known as a composer, and her
music supports her most comfortably.
! A grandmother used to dabble in her
| granddaughter paints, and became so in
terested that she studied under a good
teacher. To-day her pictures have an hon-
ored place in the water color exhibitions.
Every woman cannot be an artist, author
or musician, but every one Of us can have
some wide outside interest. We can take
up a course of reading that will sensibly
| broaden our horizon; il we cannot travel
we can go around the world in books, and
thus CLEAN no small benefit without the toll
of travel.

Crops in Clay County.

FORT GAINES, GA. May 6.-From indi-
cations the coming cotton crop will be very
short. The ground is so dry that the seed
will not sprout. and as the farmers disposed
of nearly all their seed in the fall and early
spring, it will be almost impossible to get
enough to replant their crops should poor
stands be the result.
The melon industry in this county has
ceased to be an allurement. Last season over
500 cars were shipped from this section

LETTER BAG.
oaepn gista-str.et Isridr,,

A few interested individuals from East
Los Aneeles want the council to allow
the Electric railway to lay their tracks
on the Buena Vista street bridge, claim
ing that it does no harm but heap of
good, and further base their claim upon
a contribution of $500 by people in East
Los Angeles toward the construction of
this bridge.
The intention OF constructing bridge
between Pasadena avenue (Hoff street)
and Buena Vista street, was to divert the
traffic from the country east and north
of this point over Buena Vista street as
safer inlet to the city than through
San Fernando street, where the South
ern Pacific railway are running their
trains. This was the main argument in
favor of constructing this bridge, and
the east siders were familiar with this
fact and subscribed the $500.
As the traffic since 1886 has grown
considerably so has also the necessity of
this bridge, and for the council now to
permit the Electric railway to lay one
single line of rails on this narrow bridge
would be very unwise. The roadway is
but twenty feet wide, and, allowing for
the width of the cars and at least one
foot clearance on each side of the same,
there would be at most but ten feet left
for the ordinary traffic.
The Electric Railway company have
had ample time to construct bridge of
their own if they were in earnest to do
so, but for the sake of some $4,000 or
100000, for which sum we are informed
bridge can be constructed, they are
and have been trying to steal march on
the public and entirely destroy the use
of the bridge for ordinary traffic, for
which it was exclusively constructed.
Moreover, this company wants to lay a
temporary" track over this bridge,
without specifying for what length of
time. When this is not specified it
means grant forever, and it will be
forever an injury to the traffic.
When Mr.. Cross petitioned the coun-
Gil for the right of way for a single track
over the Macy-street bridge it was de-
MED on the ground that it would be an
injury to the travel now what more
right has the Electric Railway company
to cross the Buena Vista-street bridge,
over which there is twenty times
more traffic than over the Macy-street
bridge?
1t is bad enough as it is, with double
track on Buena Vista street, but when
it comes entirely to stop the traffic over
the bridge for ordinary travel, then it is
time to cry Halt" CITIZEN.

The Santa Monica Paper Preparing to
Put on Harbor Style.
The Santa Monica Outlook hotly re-
eents the pseudo sympathy extended to
the city by the sea because it was not
recommended by the board of United
States engineers as the place where the
government should build deep sea
harbor. 1t tells the San Pedro Times
that the congressional atmosphere is
not favorable to spending "big money"
for the creation of artificial harbors,
and is of the opinion that before the
season goes round there will be many
changes on this interesting subject. 1t
then opens it's ports and blazes away
with its batteries of self-congratulation
on Santa Monica's bright prospects. 1t
says;
Before the next session of congress is
reached there will have been many
changes. Two if not three transconti-
mental railways will have their termi-
nj at Santa Monica; the Southern Pa
cific Railway company will have 6O00-
