Gunners' Patron Saint.

Why was st. Barbara chosen to be
the patron saintess of all gunners7 It is
one of those things which are to be
known and which one ought to know,
but does not. Meanwhile there is the
fact that she does intercede for all gun
ners by land or sea. In the old French
navy the Ste. Barbe was the gun
room, and the name may be found with
that meaning attached to it in all die
tionaries. Moreover, in France she is
the saint not only of gunners, but Of all
fire brigades. The sapeurs pompiers,

A Man Of Mature Years ees .
Strangely FamiliarF race In a Mirror.
"Here," said q man of mature years,
twas an experience that I fancy others
have had. You know we don't realize
the change in our own appearance as
the years go by. We feel young. all
right, and imagine that we look 80, and
never realize that we don't. But COM
ing down from an upper story of a tall
building In an elevator the other day
and thinking Of something else I hap
peped to see a face in q mirror in the
side Of the car.
ut had a curious interest for me
somehow. 1t was the face of a man Of
middle age, tolerably well preserved,
but with hair pretty gray and with
marks at the outer corners of his eyes
showing where the crow had stepped
on him-lightly, to be sure, but the
marks of crows feet nevertheless, the
face of a man of years. But, old and
gray, the most curious and fascinating
thing about it was its striking resem-
blance to my own. This vas almost
startling, but a moment later, when as
I looked at it I saw a slight turn of my
own head reproduced with a correspond
ing movement by the head in the mir
ror, I realized that what I saw was in
deed a reflection Of my own face, and
that for a moment I had seer myself as
! was.
"But when I got home I looked in
the glass there. And did I see any mid
die aged folks nowP Not by a jugfull I
saw the man I wanted to see. A little
gray perhaps2 Yes, a little gray. Crows
feet1 Yes, if you want to call 'em so.
I'm no spring chicken. I don't set out
to be that-that is, not this springs
but I'm q young man still fer all that,
and I'm going to remain SO for many
years to come despite what the mirror
