Correspondence OF the D''p"'
NEW YORK, November 7-There Is
Turkish legend that gives good index
TO this part OF social ethics.
A mendicant was dying. He called
his son to his bedside and said: MY
boy, you must go through life trusting

Years passed on. and the boy mendicant
became a rich merchant. Gold had poured
into his Golfers as he walked through the
world, his shining shield rejecting all ne
met.
Contentment came with these riches,
then curiosity. Why. he thought. am l
so loved? What do do that men should
call me fair and agreeable? What occult
magnetism do possess to so easily COM

the mirror for the first time toward MS

been the workers at the looms by tradi-
ton in France. The weavers at Gobelln
and Aubussen have been born on the
looms. so TO speak. Their fathers were
weavers before them. and the art Is
handed down as legacy. Why women
should not fill the positions l see no
reason. Their sense OF selection in color
is usually finer and more discriminating
than a mans. But they should begin
quite early In life, think. ten years being
about right.
FULLY FOUR YEARS.
1T takes fully four years TO serve
ones apprenticeship. and few women who
are past 20 want to take the time to
start"
Should the plan of this rich woman sue

scheme is this: To take Overworked
women from crowded factories and tene-
ment-rooms. where they live underfed
and scantily clothed and place them In
clean little houses about factory, giving
them good work and good food.

ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT.

solutely confident that the tracks were
made by a child walking on the rock.
There can be no possible doubt of II.
The rock Is very hard, and is meteoric
In its general character. There are. per-
haps. two acres or little more of the
same kind OF rocks in the same locality,
different entirely and absolutely from the
formation that surrounds them. That
formation Is elate: indeed. the slate for
nation extends for many miles around
these rocks
1t Is pan and manifest that these
rocks got there by some freak Of nature,
and some are imbedded deeply In the
ground at different places. Many years
ago the rock with the tracks upon II
was dug out of the ground when "a public
road was being repaired. Now how did
these tracks get in the rock? There is
but one probable solution. by som. con-
vuson of nature this rock was hurled
from one OF the planets. a ch Id on that
planet had been walking upon IL before
1t had hardened, and had left the impress
of his feet upon II. When hurled through
space the imprint of these small feet
was not eradicated. and here stands
immutabie proof that the planets are
inhabited by human beings similar to our
selves Who can doubt II? IL geology
is science which can be relied on, this
rock must be over 1000 years cd: far
older than the time at which the world
is said to have been first inhabited.
SECURED A CHIPPING.
With difficulty the writer had a piece
Clipped from the rock. and it Is of i'm
menss hardness 1t Is Of dark formation
and as hard as flint. The blackness was
perhaps caused by the heat occasioned
by the intense friction as 1t passed
rapidly through the air. Who Was this
little child that played on this rock-say
on the planet Mars. perhaps-more than
twenty thousand years ago? Did he have
tie same hopes the same aspirations the
same feelings as the children OF to-day!
Who knows. and who can tell?
As far as the writer knows, II is the
first time In the history Of the world tina,
the print OF human foot has been found
upon q meteoric rock. The discovery is
unique and important. and suggests
abundant food for reflection.
