YOUTH Is OUT OF DATE.
Middle Age Is Now In Fashion-Now Brag
of Being Forty.

of Being Forty.
There is no mistake about ito be
young, to be in the first faint flush of
premiere jeunesse, is no longer either
admirable or enviable. The fashionable
age for a successful society woman in.
London now is between 80 and 40. A
man to be thoroughly appreciated in
that charmed circle known as "the
! best set" can range in years from 80 to
| 90. Just at present the doctrine of mid
die age is being preached, and from the
inmost centers of Mayfair exclusiveness
to the outer circles Of rank Bohemianism
the men and women who are the most
popular are those who have "lived. "
| don't know why or wherefore this
strange inversion of fancy has occurred.
Somebody says because the young men
and girls of the present day are older
and more world worn than the men and
women who have passed the first stages
of real youth. Certain it is that the con-
ditions of life at this end Of the century
are not calculated to keep the spring
time fresh in the hearts of its girls and
boys. The doctrine of middle age is be-
ing preached with exceeding vehemence
at two of the most fashionable theaters
in town--at the ST.. james, Mr.. Pine
ro's "Princess and the Butterfly" or,
''The fantasies is pursuing its cratic
career with immense success, while
Charles Wyndham at the Criterion is
personifying 1.-THE Physician, by Hen
ry Arthur Jones, with his unfailing
,cleverness.. In both these plays (studies
of social life each of them) the chief in
terest centers about men and women
who have left the white muslin" stage
and crept out to the once dreaded preci-
pice of maturity.
And it is in fashionable real life as
it is within the artificial glamour of the
stage The women of whom we hear
the most in London have certainly no
longer any claim to be considered
young. They are frankly middle aged,
and they seem TO glory in it. There is the
Countess of Warwick-passee we would
have dubbed her in other times. She
is still beautiful, but he who runs may
read her age in Debrett's "Peerage."
Then there is that still lovely dowager
the Countess of Dudley, grandmother,
but with as many moths futtering
about the light of her blue eyes as
would satisfy many a debutante's
heart. She is going to marry again. so
they say, and she is still beauty. La
dy de Grey is another instance of the
apotheosis of middle age. The most
talked about woman of her time is this
tall countess, and one of Che most en-
Wed. She holds the future as well as
the past of Italian opera in London in
the hollow of her slender, aristocratio
hands. What she says or suggests at
Covent Garden Opera House goes,
and when she is displeased the very
gods tremble. London Letter in Chi
cago Chronicle.

JAPANESE MOTHERS.
they Thoroughly Understand the Tender
Care of Children.

rhey Thoroughly Understand the Tender
Care Of Children.
1t sometimes happens that one sees a
young American mother so utterly unfit
for the training of children and for the
duties of motherhood that one cannot
but wonder why it pleased Providence
ever to give her the care of little ones.
This happens sometimes in the case of
really estimable women, and 1 have
heard q young mother say sadly that she
never quite knew what to do with baby,
it was such a queer little thing, and she
was half afraid to touch it. Other young
things in the shape of puppies, kittens,
or ever colts, she knew all about and
was quite at home with, but her W
child remained n sort of curious and I'M
canny little being to her till his baby
days were over and he began to share
In his mothers hobbies in a boyish sort
of way.
Now, in Japan n mother like this is
an impossibility. She is not interested
in politics or in social reforms, neither
is she bent on being n social success, nor
devoted to any scientific philanthropic
work, as are so many of her western sis
tiers. She is par excellence a mother.
and one who cannot be rivaled in any
other country. No children are so well
and carefully tended as hers, and she is
patient and gentle with them, never
threatening them, if they are unruly,
with corporal punishment, o raising
her voice and scolding them in the un-
pleasant way one so often hears in other
countries. The japanese mother is a
born kindergaertncrin and enters into
the lives of her little ones just as easily
as the western kindergarten teacher who
has undergone n long period of study
and training. To her the duties of
motherhood come naturally, for among
her nation women who will make good
mothers are chosen as wives, and thus
in the course of nature the quality of
motherliness is intensified as time goes
on, and tho race of mothers becomes
very superior.
Nowhere is motherhood as respected
as in Japan, and nowhere does the
mother receive more attention from both
her husband and her children. She is
regarded rs the maker of the race. and
her maternal duties are considered to be
exceedingly honorable and t cntitlc her
to the utmost consideration and aflcc-
tion. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

ONE OF THE MEAN ONES.


Might Have Been Mean Enough to Have
Stolen His Inheritance.
Four or five preachers, at a preachers
meeting, or, rather, after the meeting
was over, were discussing some of the
peculiar people they had been brought
into contact with during their various
pastorates.
1.-The very meanost nan l cver knew, "
said a pastor, whose nasal twang be-
trayed his Yankee origin, twas q mar.
ried man, though, as a rule. the really
meanest men are bachelors for obvious
reasons.
"This party was fairly well to do
and expected to be enriched by the death
| Of an old uncle to the extent of at least
800, 900. He was n man of about 45
and was, OH the surface, an extremely
pious kind of a man, with strict ideas
of biblical interpretations. AT this time
| the rich old uncle-a millionaire, by
the way-was approaching the scrip
tural limit of human existence-three
score and tcn-and his pious nephew
had begun to figure ON what he was go.
ing to do with his share of the old mans
fortune. The latter, however, did not
hold to scriptural interpretations, but
held OH until he was 81 years old. Then
he departed, and as per expectation,
| when the estate was settled up the pious
nephew received 800, 900, more or less.
"He ought to have been satisfied, Of
course, but he wasn't, and after mouth
ing around about his hard luck, he
finally capped the climax by suing the
trustees Of the residue of the estate,
| which had been willcd to charity, for
the interest on 800, 900 at 8 per cent
for the time that elapsed between the
three score and ten limit and the date of
the death of his uncle, a period of 81
years 8 months, the whole amount of
interest being $l27, 500. He even went
SO far as to swear that 6 per cent was
too low, and that he could have got
8 right along for the whole time if
the old man had died when the Bible
said he ought to die. Being in the fam
lily, however, he was willing o discount
the rate of interest 20 per cent. Now,
| did you ever hear Of anything worse
than that?"
And not a man there did.-Wash-
