The Age Of Beauty.
From the New York News.

From the New York News.
The physical beauty Of women should last
until they are past fifty Nor does beauty
reach its zenith under the age of thirty-five
forty. Helen Of Troy came upon the
stage at the age Of forty. Cleopatra was
past thirty when she met Antony. Anne of
Austria was thirty-eisht when described as
the most beautiful woman in Europe. The
old saying about sweet sixteen Is exploded
by the truer knowledge that the highest
beauty does not dwell in immaturity, for
beauty does not mean alone the fashion of
form and coloring as found in a waxen doll
A woman's best and richest years are from
twenty-six to forty. No woman is passe at
earlier day.

INFANTS IN SCHOOL.
Protest Against Forced Mental Efforts
In Primary Grades.

From the Philadelphia Record.
A SUPERINTENDENT of schools is quoted to
the effect that four hours in school day Is
enough for children six years of age and
under. Four hours a day In school is
great deal more than is good for children
of that age. In the primary departments OF
the public schools the instruction is not
after the manner of the kindergartens. The
children are required to make a distinct
mental effort in circumstances which are
unfavorable to their mental growth. Ds-
cipline even in the primary department con-
tinues to be a fetch. and the ideal teacher
is one who can prevent the restless little
ones from moving In their seats, whisper

CUNNING OF WooDPEcKERs.
California Varieties Conduct Worm In
cubators in Dead Trees.

From the Los Angeles Herald.
Real. genuine forethought is thing with
which birds are but seldom charged. Ma
ture teaches her feathered children to build
their nests in anticipation OF the nesting
time. But that a bird should think out
several steps Of a natural phenomenon and
deliberately plan several weeks ahead for
banquets of bird delicacies is almost too
much for the most ready believer.
But the California woodpecker as hand
some bird as ever lived on the side of
tree. must be given the credit Of being real
ly thinker and planner. He Is a col
lege professor-nay, logician-among his
kind.
Have you ever seen acorns on sycamore
trees?" is question often put to the tour
list in California. No matter what he an
swers. he is driven into the country, and
there actually shown the sight-acorns on
sycamores. For in many parts of the south
trees, both sycamore and oak, may be seen
with the bark drilled full Of holes and with
a live oak acorn in every hole.
These trees are thus decorated by the
woodpecker at infinite cost Of labor and
truly with foresight.
Finding dead tree or one with bark to
his taste. the woodpecker will commence
the drilling of small holes, usually in rows.
Each hole Is made Of the diameter Of ones
second finger and depth Of about an inch
Trees may be seen that are literally pock-
being the work Of successive generations Of
Industrious woOdpeckerS.
The holes drilled by actual work Of a bill,
each opening has hammered into 1t a live
oak acorn. Scientists have watched these
birds at their work. They hammer away at
various holes remaining only short time
at each. Then they fly away in search of
acorns. which they carry from considerable
distances in their claws. often dropping the
slippery nuts. With the beak the nut is
started into a hole just large enough, and
not a hairs breadth too large to receive
1t. Again the hammering beak is used, and
the nut Is driven tight and fast into its
place.
So tight are the fits often of these acorns
that 1t Is almost impossible to get them
out with ones fingers. The writer has seen
many unsuccessful attempts to pick out
these stored-up treasures
But in this where Is there anything so
wonderful? Do not many birds and Insects
attempt to store food for dull times?
Wherein lies the forethought of the wood
peeker?
The truth Of the matter Is that when the
little thinker puts an acorn In its proper,
and to him expensive, hole. 1t Is not at ali
because he has an acorn tooth. He sees a
step ahead. for he knows that worms will
form In each acorn, and these worms are
the ultimate object OF his tolls.
Holes in trees are fun to build and will
keep acorns OF the Ground. out OF reach Of

Prof. Conner NJ. Woodward, who was
recently reelected president of the
Mamie Lou Warthen Institute for the
ensuing year, has resigned TO accept
the presidency of a new college at
Sparks, Ga. Some time ago the people
of Sparks made him an offer of 1900
but the trustees of the school here met
their offer and he accepted here. Sew
eral days ago the people of Sparks
sent man here to see the trustees
and get them to relieve Mr.. Woodward
of his contract here as they had offered
him salary of $500. Prof Wood
ward rendered his resignation a few
days ago and the board
accepted 1t, and he will leave
soon for Sparks. The people here re-
gret TO lose Prof. Woodward and his

Prof. II. A. Woodward, who was first
assistant in the college here last year
has been elected vice president of the
Florida Seminary at Switzerland, Fla.
He will leave in a few days to enter
upon his duties. He is a splendid
young educator and will give satisfac-
ton there as he has done here.
The people are looking forward with
much interest to the meeting of the
county Democratic Executive Commit
tee here on June rs, at which time they
will fix the time and manner in which
they will nominate candidates for
county officers and a representative.
The Populists have always been very
strong here. AS yet they have taken
no action. waiting to see what the
Democrats are going to do. 1t is
thought that If the Democrats will or
der a white primary the Populsts will
come into 1t pen-handed and put out
no candidates. Most of the conserva-
tive people on both sides favor this
plan.
