John Quincy Adams Autograph.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale, writing
in the Atlantic about his college days.
relates an anecdote OF John Quincy
Adams with may afford a useful hint
to such readers OF The Companion as
find themselves the prey OF the auto
graph collector.
When we yer Freshmen, Baker,
who was afterwards Governor OF New
Hampshire, had the courage to write
to John Quincy Adams to ask him for
his autograph. ! think it was the
first letter 1 ever heard Of in which
one person asked another for his auto
graph.
To the delight of the rest of us, but
to the terror Of Baker, Mr.. Adams
sent the autograph in the share OF q
translation of the first half of the
thirteenth ode OF the first book OF
Horace, and told Baker he should be
glad to have him send baek to him
the translation of the ether hall.
Granted that Baker could translate
the ode decently, this was certain;
that he had never, to anybOdy's
knowledge. attempted poetry: and
horror ran along the lines to think OF
the disgrace which the class would
sustain If Mr.. Adams should learn
that we could not comply with his re-
quest
but Baker was equal TO the emer-
gency. He went round to Hildrcth's
room, showed him the letter, AUD
Hildreth kindly translated the verses.

rightly, that his versAs wore much

yet their wives and sisters look as
miserable as though they were

that with all their studying aud read

issues, how to let things go on trust.
They lack the saving serenity, gayety
and pose which nuns, little chill
dren and big dogs possess to a re-
markable degree. Women begin to
get wrinkled when they begin to
abuse their eyes. They trim their
eyelashes and eyebrows, they use
chemicals to color their hair and
clean the scalp, they use different
preparations to brighten or whiten
their compilations, they neglect to
get eyeglasses. Squirting follows.
and, there! you have a crop OF
wrinkles about the eyes. Nine wo-
men in every ten talk with their

they ought to use ad jectives. Their
hypocrisy shows itself in the parallel
lines across the forehead. Their in
sincerity and lost teeth are indicated
by the curves about the mouth. The
bad habit of biting their lips, chew
ing gum and candy and working their
mouths unnecessarily bring on the in
delible lines years before their time.
Proper protection for the eyes in and
out doors will unquestionabfy rctard
wrinkles. Women who fret, women
who nag, women who have nerves,
women who get run down with
church work, dres.making, hired
girls and society, have plenty OF
