Tir,e Mt Which wOman's Charms
and Grnces Prove Most Attrnc-
tive.
The physical beauty of women should
last until they are past so. Nor does
beauty, remarks Science Siftings, reach
it zenith under the age Of 50 or 40.
Helen of Troy came upon the stage
at the age of 40. Aspasia was 36
when married to Percles, and she was
brilliant figure thirty years thereafter.
Cleopatra was past 80 years when she
met Antony. Diane dc POicterS was
81 when she won the heart of Henry
II. The king was half her age, but
his devotion never chIngeI. Anne Of
Austria was IS when described as the
most beautiful woman in Europe.
Nine dc Mailitenon was 43 when unit
ed to Louis. and Catherine of Russia
33 when she seized the throne she Oc-
Cupjed for thirty-tive years.
Mile. Mar was most beautiful at IS.
and Nine. Recan,ier between the ages
of 81 and So Tie most lasting and
intense passion is not inspired by two
decade beauties. The old saw about
sweet 16 is exploded by the truei'
knowledge that the highest beauty does
not dwell in immaturity. For beauty
does not mean alone the fashion of
form and cOlOring as found in the
waXen doll. The dew of youth and q
complexion of roses sometimes combine
in q face that is unmoving and unre-
sponsive, as though lacking utterly the
life sparkle. A wOmanS best and
richest Yeas are from 2G to 40. 1t is
;lrrant error for any woman to regard
herself as passe at an earlier day.
In the course of years, however,
time arrives when the coming of age
must be recognized, when the muscles
begin to relax. the skin to lose its pol
ish and roundness. and Softness gives
place to angles. Cuntentrn:nt and good
humor will still outrival all medical in
ventions as Il preservative of youth.
A woman beautiful in all else, but
wanting mirth, will grow old. sour, thin
and s;llow, while the merry, fun-loving
spite life's happenings and sorrows.

PROF. MARIA MITCHELL'S BEEF
Prescribed by Il Physician. But 4
Small Dose Satisfied Her.

small Dose SHtlSNeu
An amusing anecdote of the late
Prof Maria Mitchell. the astronomer
of Nassar College. is told by her sister
as follows: Miss Mitchell had been in
poor health, and her physician ordered
lager beer One day she appeared at
her sisters house and triumpEant}y
waved Il small package. cXclaiming in
the plain language which the Mitch
ell family always use among them
selves:
What does thee think have hcre?'
"I'm sure l can't imagine. What?'
Lager beer"
"Whcrc did thee get it, Maria?" in
quired her sister.
AT that groggcry on the corner" re-
piled the shining astronomical light
MY dear Naria.'' cried the more
conventional member Of the family,
doesn't thee know that ladies never
go to such Il place."
II told the man," replied the consist
cnt purchaser, that l thoroughly dis
approved of his trattic!!'
But Maria." protested her sister, IF
thee is to try lager beer as Il tonic why
couldn't thee let Il friend order thee Il
dozen bottles?'
20. one is enough at Il time was
the temperate reply.
Desiring to try her new medicine at
once the cork was drawn and the
foaming beer poured into a tumbler.
There. there cried the invalid, be-
fore the tumbler was Il quarter filled,
II shall never drink such quantity
How much do you propose to takc:'
she was asked in surprise
20, about IL tcaspoonful at time
was the absolutely serious reply.
Miss Mitchell evidently regarded the
beverage as Il deadly and powerful
drug, in which view of it she would
doubtless be sustained by many tenn
pcrancc advocates. She waited for the
foam to sllbside, took Il single sip. and
set the glass down decisivcly.
1T goes to my head. l shall never
touch it again. You may have the
rest" said she.
And she never did. although her bro

her Il case of two dozen bottles of the
best Milwaukee lager, which to this
day stands covered with cobwcbs in
her sisters cellar.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health Of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive ;, efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup Of Figs,

1t is the opinion Of men familiar with
the character of the Navajo Indians
that a war with them will prove to be
a serious business for the government
The tribe numbers about $4,000. of
whom 5000 are fighting warriors. The
reservation where they are intrenched
is rough and difficult, and contains
many passes where. according to one
authority, 1.-TWO Indians can hold their
ground against the entire United States
army" The Navajoes have trained
their ponies to go without water for
two days, if necessary. The whole
tribe is armed with the most approved
repeating rifles, and the bucks have
been. storing ammunition for years in
anticipation Of trouble. The Navajoes
have a perfect system of signals and
scouts and are always informed hours
in advance of the movements of troops
sent against them.-Argonaut.

Time was in this state that the marsh
lands were considered as of SO little value
that the more a man owned of them the
poorer he was reckoned. OF late years,
however, the development of The cranberry
industry has modified the views on this
point, and farmers are specializing on the
possibility of finding other profitable uses
for the marshes aud meadows. High sci
entiic authority has declared that most OF
the swampy and Doggy lands about the
state not available for cranberry culture
can be converted into soil for the cultiva-
ton of berries and vegetables in great vari,
lety.
The demand for such products is yearly
growing, even faster than the population

He IS lovely Just to look at,
With his thoughtful, dark brown eyes
His gentle face and shining curls--
But he isn't very wise.
Two birthdays he has counted,
Two dimples he can show,
Yet he's ignorant of many things
That many babies know.
Though he talks In childish fashion,
He knows but pretty words.
And he says them in voice as sweet
AS the cooling of the birds.
He smiles at everybody,
But he hasn't learned to fret,
And angry looks and angry pouts-
He doesn't know them yet.
Oh, everything contents him,
He has never learned to tease,
And kicks and screams-he's unaware
There are such things as these.
But he's lovely just TO look at
And to cuddle and to pet,
For to wriggle out of loving arms
He hasn't learned II yet.
Oh, as at first told you,
He isn't very wise,
Yet were We all rs ignorant
Earth might DO paradise.
