this was the pressure from below of

from lower to higher rank, with it's in
crease of pay and emoluments.
But, Notwithstanding these two au-
thorities, the question of when a per-
son is really aged is an open one, and,
as the Georgia court observed, mot
susceptible, for all purposes, of precise
definition" Probably no two persons
would ever agree upon the precise year
when that term would fit the person.
1t could not be left to the young or
even the middle-aged, for, from the
standpoint of the man who has passed
the half-century mark, their concep-
tion of how many years must elapSe
before a person becomes old is, in his
judgment, always absurdly short Of the
mark. To the young all mature per
sons are classed as old, and the middle
aged somehow unreasonably associate
glasses and gray hairs with old age.
Time was, before the days of electric
lights and nonpareil type, when the
wearing Of glasses might have been ac
cepted as indicating an aged condition;
but now, when every fourth or fifth
youngster one meets wears these aids
to vision, that mark will not suffice.
The use of the cane is no longer in
dicative of years, since it has become
the necessary appendage of beardless
youths; and the scholarly stoop," too,
has become too prevalent to allow bent
shoulders to be taken as a sure sign
of age. Our hot pace has carved
the wrinkles of care in young faces
too frequently to leave that indication
any value. This process of exclusion
leaves every case to be determined upon
it's own merits, in spite of the decision
Of the Georgia court that the haleness
and heartiness of the individual has
nothing to do with it. The personal
equation here again becomes a deter
mining factor in the problem. Broadly
speaking the pessimistic person is aged
no matter how few his years, while
those blessed with optimistic natures
are ever young. To those who, like

process which ended in it's taking a
little extra precaution so as not to col
lide with the flying car. In a larger
way we have seen tother adjustments
go on until the equilibrium was re-
stored English mobs, fifty years ago,
went through the mills destroying the
machinery that had displaced manual
labor. and farmers ,lamented the ad-
vent of the railway that was to destroy
their investments in horses. But Eng

found they had encountered the inevi-
table and rroeeeded' to adjust them
selves to it, succeeding and finding
themselves helped, mot hurt, by the
change.
A proper understanding Of some
things by councils and pedestrians will
facilitate the adjustment of the rela-
tions of the latter to their fellow NOR
tails who have acquired the trick Of
balancing on the wheel and making it
their obedient servant. One very pow
erful fact operates on the Wheelman,
and that is that a collision means
more to him or her than it does to the
footman, for there is not only the
chance of bodily hurt, but Of injury to
the wheel with a bill for repairs that
is rarely modest. The riders have two
motives to the footmen's one for avoid
ing the latter. Another fact is that the
opportunity of avoiding collision is
in favor of the one on the wheel in the
ratio Of sixteen to one. A slight twist
OF the wrist is all that is needed to
the footman has to put both legs into
motion, with the legs too often con-
fused by the conflicting messages wired

Where the equilibrium is fully restored

collision was imminent. The footman
has learned his lesson, not to dodge,
not to hesitate or halt, but to go calm

the capable and willing fellow astride
the wheel. And the fwheeIman, when
he encounters such a one, feels like
saying, Thank YOU" for the mortal he

The Benedicts Easily Voted Him the
Palm.
There were five or six of them sitting
about the stove in the drug store, and
they had been telling some pretty tall
stories, says the Detroit Free Press.
The druggist was man of some hui
NOR and invention and he concocted
a mixture of great potency and fine fla
vor, composed of Sp. Frumenti, saccha-
rum alba, cOrtex limonis, carophyllus
aromaticus and aqua pura O. s. This
mixture he proposed to administer to
whomsoever should tell the biggest
story, and the party at once began to
stretch their inventive powers to their
fullest extent. A toilet soap drummer
was appointed judge and the prize mix
ture, steaming hot, sat in an eight
ounce graduated measure upon the edge
of the stove. The colonel told a war
story of the Munchausen variety, the
squire related hunting adventure
that evinced decided genius for evad-
ing the truth and the postmaster made
strong bid for the prize with snake
story big enough to make the sea SER
pent jealous. The others followed in
turn and the last man, the major, en-
tered the competition. The major had
in his mind a remarkable narrative
about a dog that did some wonderful
things and he began his story in this
way:
Last Wednesday morning got up a
little later than usual and went down
to breakfast. Most of you have seen

deal smarter than most men. Well,
that dog was in the dining room when

wife, who was waiting for me, said:

the floor. You must have dropped it

last night. Then she handed me the
bill. Now, that dog of mine was"

AS there were no single men in the
crowd, not voice was raised in protest
against the judges verdict.

Insects Iniurlng Apples.

Bulletin No SO of the Missouri Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station, Column
bia, by Prof. j. M. Stedman, reports
the results of elaborate experiments
with means of preventing two insects
very injurious to apple trees, and de-
scribes cheap and efficient methods OF
combating them.
The insect known as the apple leaf
folder may be readily killed by thor
oughly spraying infected trees or nur-
sery stock just as soon as the young
insects begin to hatch, and before they
have had time to fold the leaves to
any considerable extent. This spray
ing should be done just as the apple
tree leaves are unfolding. The spray
ing mixture should be made as fol-
lows: One pound Of Paris green, three
pounds of fresh lime, $50 gallons OF
water. Since there are three broods OF
this insect each year, there are three
periods during which spraying can be
most successfully done.
The leaf crumpler, another insect
very injurious to apple trees, may be
readily killed by thoroughly spraying
the Infected trees while the leaves are
unfolding and before the blossoms
open, with the same mixture as rec
commended above If necessary, the
trees may be sprayed again immediate
ly after all the blossoms have fallen,
but in this case the amount of water
in the mixture should be increased to
175 paIInns
Never spray a fruit tree while 1t Is
in blossom; serious injury to the bios
som and imperfect pollination may
result, and in many instances honey
bees will be killed. Never omit the
fresh lime, and always use two or
three times as much lime by weight
as Paris green. This will lessen the
chances of burning the leaves and in
juring the trees. Spray with mix
ture of the strength just given. To
make it weaker is to render it less eff
fective in killing insects; to make 1t
stronger is to injure the foliage of the
trees. Always see that the mixture
is kept constantly stirred while spray
Ing. Apply with as much force as pos
sible, and use as fine a spray as can
be made. Spray thoroughly. Hold
the spray on the tree long enough to
saturate it and to reach all parts, and
always spray from at least two sides.

TO "ENrRAP A PERFUME"
lHhIeh
Little Game. Played at Cannes, which

Little Game, Played at Cannes, Which
Ought to Interest Lovers of Flowers
Learn a lesson for the season from
the south of France. In the flower sea-
son at Cannes plates of glass are thin
ly covered with clarified inodorous fat;
upon or under this fat the flowers are
placed and the power this substance
has to absorb and retain perfumes 10
astonishing, says the New York Her
aid. On these sheets of glass the most
delicate odors are thus fixed almost as
securely as on the collodion prepared
plates the most delicate pictures are
retained. In this way the jessamine,
the violet, the tuberose and orange per-
fumes travel across France and arrive
here as pure as the day they were CIV
en- forth from the flowers themselves.
The emancipation of the odor from it's
Imprisonment is very simple. The fat,
cut into small cubes, is placed in spir-
it's of wine and the delicate essence i'm
mediately deserts the coarse fat for
the more spiritual solvent. M. Piesse,
in his interesting work on perfumery,
says that while CultivatoTs of gardens
spend thousands for the qualification
of the eye they altogether neglect the
nose. Why should we not grow flow
ers for their odors as well as for their
colors?" And, we may add; the ladies
may utilize some of our own waste
garden perfumes very easily and with
pecuniary advantage to themselves.
Heliotrope, the lily of the valley, hon
eysuckle, myrtle, Glove, pink and wall
flower perfumes, such as we get in the
shops, are made up odors cunningly
contrived from other flowers. Yet they
may be made pure with little trouble.
Il want heIiotrope pomade," says M.
Piesse, in despair. Il would buy any
amount that could get" And the way
! to get it is very simple. If there is a
gluepot in the house and it happens to
be clean, fill it with clarified fat, set
| it near the dollhouse fire, or any other
! fire, just to make the fat liquid, ami
| throw in as many heliotrOpe flowers as
possible; let them remain for twenty
| four hours, strain off the fat and add
fresh ones; repeat this process for a
week and the fat will have become a
pomade la heliOtrOpe. The same pro-
cess may be gone through with all the
other flowers mentioned. 4 lady may
in this manner make her own perfume,
and we may add, in the words of M.
Piesse, lone that she cannot obtain for
love or money at the perfumer's."

DIVER DIES UNDER WATER.
Heart Disease Overtakes Him While He
Is in the Patapsco River.

Is In the PatapscO River.
Albert NJ. Olsen, a diver in the en-
ploy OF the Baltimore wrecking COM
pany of Baltimore, Md, died suddenly
the other day while he was under water
in a diving suit in the channel of the
Patapsco river, off SparrOw's Point,
says an exchange. Heart disease is
supposed to have been the cause of his
death. Louis E. Broom, manager of
the Baltimore wrecking company, made
the following statement in regard to
the death of Olsen: I'VE went to the
channel off SparrOw's Point for the
purpose of raising a broken spud
which was sticking up out of the water
from the bottom of the river. A spud
is a long pole used on mud machines.
By running it through a we'll in the
machine it sticks into the bottom of the
river and holds the machine steady
while the buckets are being operated
for dredging mud from the channel.
When We got to the place Olsen put on
the diving dress and went overheard
from a yaWl boat of the mud machine.
Shortly after he had gone under water
it was noticed that he was not moving
about and signal was made to him to
find out if he was all right. No answer
being received directed that he should
be signaled to come to the surface.
Again no answer was returned. A
second signal for coming up was made,
and, receiving no reply, 1 directed that
Olsen should be hauled UP. AS soon
as he was received on the deck of the
mud machine the diving dress was
opened, and it was found that Olsen
was dead. 1t is my opinion" continued
Mr.. Brown, that Olsen died OF heart
disease while under water. Tho div
ing apparatus was working all right;
the air valve in the head of it was not
out of order, and there was no water
inside the dress. The intention of send
ing Olsen down was to have him at
tach a chain to the broken spud SC
that tug could pull it out Of the
water. It's removal had been ordered
by the inspector in charge of the dr@dg;
| ing operations in the channel"
