Richard Malcolm Johnston gives this pic

that people:

eighteen and girls of fourteen and fif-
teen went to steady work on their sew
eral lines. BY the time the former
reached legal majority they were mar
ried or, as was generally decided, they
ought to- be before very long. BY this
that mattsr, pIlovided parents assented,
had been settled. Indeed, silent un-
derstandings to mate were often had
during school time between lads of fif-
teen and lasses a little younger. Ev-
cry boy and girl within a narrow circle
knew every girl and boy therein and
none be sides, and so their mating, like
birds i'm the wood, began with attain

SIDEWALK PHILOSOPHY.
The Sure Way Of Determining the Beauty of a
Woman.

From the Washington Star.
A Star reporter was walking down
Pennsylvania avenue the other after
noon with a friend. The latter was
close observer, an all-round philosopher
and loglcian. He is something OF q
Conan Doyle in the way with which he
reasons out his deductions. 1t IS very
seldom, too, that he fails to land on the
solar plexus in this respect.
A fine-looling lady was walking down
THE avenue in fronIt of two pedestrians.
The lady had "a good figure. was we'll

bly, fifty feet which interviewed between

from being pretty, am positive that

both increased tfneir speed SO as to over

ahead of them for probably block. AS
SHE was passed the plcitters turned and

passed on The reporter acknowledged
that he had lost, without attempting in
the least to save his bet. There was
no use, for the lady was really ugly,
thei1e was no doubt about that. She was
terribly plain, and the difference be-
tween the appearance of her face and
what might have been expected from her
figure and general makeup was surpris-
ing.
"If you'll give me the secret by which
you found that out 1 will throw in an

IN IRE the Record of Thoughts Forced

Wrinkles arc as natural to old ago as
is afull, smooth face to childhood. They
arc duo mainly TO Il certain shrinkago of
the musclcs-a shrinkage which charac-
terizes more or less the entire system in
tho later period of life. 1t is in consc-
qucnce of this general shrinkage that in
advanced life tho height is somewhat
lowered; that the substance of tho jaws
contracts, thus often giving rise, by
pressure on the nerves that pass through
the bony canals, to severe and difficult
neuralgia, and that the brain substance
becomes reduced i'll bulk, water filling
the vacant space. Were it not for tho
fixed habits and accumulated resources
Of lifetime an old mans brain would
not be equal to the work which he still
performs easily. There is, of course,
much difference between old people in
this respect, which is due largely to
temperament, habits of thought and of
feeling and modes of life.

without wrinkles. This was n very ex-
