LITTLE MONEY SPENT.
Those Who Held OF Until Afternoon
Were Disappointed.

w no Oh
Were Disappointed.
Not a great deal of money was spent
around the polls and in comparison
with recent elections very little of the
long green was in circulation. Ten
dollars was said to be the limit on both
sides, and that was during the early
morning hours.
The Citizens Club leaders said they
had money left in their treasury, and
during the afternoon only an occasional
dollar was spent. Some of those who
waited for the afternoon, believing that
the fight would be closer, and votes
would be more valuable, were doomed
to disappointment.
Solely for the purpose of showing APP
probation for services rendered in the
past, and, too, with an idea of evincing
the fact that the barrel had not been
exhausted the leaders distrib-
uted a few SIS certificates dur
ing the afternoon. These bills were
only given to the regular patrons Of the
club, and not because any more votes
were needed. "A dinner at belmont
cos restaurant" was the game played
by one of the factions in this respect,
and it answered the same purpose as
a card with punched figures on the
side.
The Union Club leaders had little to
say about money.

Homemade College Men.
From Saturday Evening Post.


A Young man who has graduated from
college at twenty -one commonly thinks he
is educated. When he is forty he stills
thinks so, even though he may never have
opened book since he got his diploma and
have forgotten everything he ever learned.
Conversely, the man who missed college
training often feels that he has lost some
thing that never can be made up-that he
must be content to remain for the rest OF
his life person of defective education.
It is true, of course, that college
course is of immense value, and that no.
BODY ought to miss one if he can get it,;
but it is not in itself an education. A
college graduate is not, by the mere fact
of his graduation, an educated man. He
may be well educated for his age, but If
SO the credit is largely his. own. 1t is
possible for man to spend four years In
college, pass all his examinations and get
a degree, without having more than the
most meagre equipment in the way OF gen
eral culture, and without any definite
knowledge that he can recall In year.
On the other hand, it is not only possible
but easy for one who has never seen col
lege to become at forty man OF Infinitely
broader attachments than those possessed
by graduate who considered his educa-
ton closed at twenty one.
The ordinary college course covers tf-
teen hours week for foar years OF about
forty weeks each, or 2400 hours in all.
About an equal amount of outside study is
necessary. On the other hand, fully halt
the course is devoted to subjects that serve
only as mental gymnastics. The student
who devotes 2400 hours in all to the ac-
QUESTION of culture and useful information
does well.
That is the equivalent of one hour day
for about six years and half. That is to
say, young man who began at seventeen
to read Systematically and intelligently for
an hour day would have the equivalent
of the best part of college education in
his twenty-fourth year. In about three
more he could have the training of Mas
ter of Arts. Another three years would
give him the requirements Of Doctor OF
Philosophy. At forty he could be re-
cognized authority on some science or some
period of history, while the college grad
uate who thought his education finished at
twenty lone would have no definite knowl-
edge of anything.
The man who masters the secret of self
education will have no wasted hours. De-
lays in railway stations or dentists offices
will have no terrors for him. He will have
good book always in his pocket, and an
hour on blockaded car-track will be as
good to him as an hour in college lecture
room. Every day will see his mind broad
er and ripper than the day before, and f.
nally, without conscious effort, he will ar
rive at point at which he could give In
struction not only to college students but
to many of their professors.

"Armless Wonder Dies at 13.

Russell Brown, Is years old, of Bingham
ton, N. Y, and known all over Central and
Southern New York as an ''armless wonder, y
died in his mothers home August &c, after a
short illness from diphtheria
Russell was born without arms. but had
managed to pass through his short life with
out serious Inconvenience because of his won
derfnl dexterity in using his feet and toes.
He commenced to use his feet as substitutes
for hands and arms when he was baby.
Constant use of his toes made them as pliable
and comfortable as fingers, and there were
few things other boys could do that Russell
did not practice until he could repeat them.
He always wore light kid shoes, covering his
feet as far forward as the ball, leaving his toes
exposed. With these members he could han
die knife and fork at the table, pick up the
smallest articles from the floor, hold book
and write.
The boys chief accomplishment was play
ing on violin, in which he was an adept.
The violin was placed on some object under
his feet, and ne played many difficult compo-
sitions with skill. A bicycle fitted with a
steering gear against which his shoulders
rested gave him plenty of outdoor recreation,
and he could perform tricks without number
on the wheel. Driving his mothers horse was
another of his favorite pastimes. At school
Russell was very popular and Jared Just as did
the the other scholars, except that he had a
seat and desk which allowed him to use his
feet.
Although offered large sums for the boy for
exhibition purposes, his mother, Mrs. Efie
Gardiner, always refused to turn the little fell
lows accomplishments into money making
scheme.

package containing five packets. The
novelties will be accompanied by a circular
describing the varieties in full and giving
directions for culture and use. There will
also be franked postal card for each col
lection of the novelties, so that the recipi-
ent may, if he desires, signify his willing
ness to make report to the department on
the seeds received.

Fourteen Mistakes.

An English paper gives list of what it
terms 'sthe fourteen mistakes of life. -
While there are undoubtedly other mistakes
than those mentioned, the list is fairly
comprehensive one.
It is great mistake to set up our own
standard of right and wrong, and judge
people accordingly; to measure the enjoy
lnent of others by our own; to expect
uniformity of opinion in this world; to look
for judgement and experiences in youth;
to endeavor to mold all dispositions alike;
to look for perfection in our own actions;
to worry ourselves and others with what
cannot be remedied not to yield in imma-
terial matters; not to alleviate all that needs
alienation as far as lies in our power; not
to make allowances for the infrmities of
others; to consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform; to believe only
what our finite minds can grasp; to expect
to be able to understand everything.
And the last and greatest mistake of all
is to live for time alone, when any moment
may launch us into eternity.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1902-09-06
To Preserve Beauty.
From the London Telegraph.

| think few hints on the hygiene OF
the skin may prove of service to many of
our sex. The world of women is apt to get
divided into two classes-the women who
make fetch to their compilations and the
women who do not try to make the best OF
the natural gifts that nature has bestowed
upon them.
Without entering on the vast subject of
the value of relative washes or tonics for
the skin, l wish to give few hygienic
hints which may be found of service to those
who have the womanly instinct of wishing
to make the best Of the beauty and health
that Providence has given them.
Sleep is one of the great preservers of
youth. Eight hours of regular sleep at
night and short nap during the day will
do much to keep the face free from wrin-
kles Always sleep with the bedroom
window open few inches at the top, both
in summer and winter A daily morning
bath, tepid in winter and cold in summer,
with brisk rub to follow, will be found
to keep the skin fresh and clear.
At least couple of hours must be spent
in the open air, either in walking, bicycling,
or playing games, as circumstances permit.
All tight clothing must be avoided, as it
disturbs the circulation, and is often the
cause of enlarged veins and red noses.
The effect of diet on the skin is of the
utmost Importance, and many dermatolo
,gists have made careful study of this as
pect of the question. Abstention from all
rich food and stimulants has been tried with
success. A great lady, who was famous
even in her old age for her beautifully clear
complexion and freedom from wrinkles, was
once persuaded to tell the secret of her
youthful looks. The answer was very sim
pie. Abstinence had been the rule of her
life. No tea, coffee, or stimulant of any
kind; instead of taking animal food, try
some boiled fish, or couple of eggs every
day. Drink lemonade or water, eat ap-
pies, grapes, and figs regularly. Take the
raw juice Of lemon every other day
Never fail to walk several miles per day.
Battle frequently in almost cold water.
Above all, never let anything have the
power to worry you, but always try to re-
main calm and cheerful.
This excellent advice, if possible to fol-
low, is worthy of trial. / can only offer
it to my readers with the assurance that it
has proved successful, and has helped in
more than one case to preserve youth and
beauty. 1t is needless to add that this
goes long way to create happiness.

Belonged Elsewhere.

That it is possible to have too good an
appetite seems to be one of the morals of
a story told by friend to the Washington
correspondent of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer
81 am very fond of roasted ears of corn, >
said he, tand eat it whenever 1 can get
it. Some time ago, while | was in a
restaurant in Texas, the waiter put plate
full on the table, and | just helped myself.
"When I had consumed the third, L
noticed that man across the table was
ewing me most curiously. looked at him
and told him that considered roasted corn
one of the most nutritious and palatable
things man could eat. Then | helped
myself to a fourth ear and devoured 1t
with relish.
ssWhen I reached my hand into the
dish for the fifth, the fellow across the
table couldn' stand it any longer.

Beware of High Chairs.

A young lady of small stature recently
tainted at dinner given in her honor. 1t
was then found that she had not been able
to touch either of her feet to the floor OF
her back to the chair, and the restricted
circulation and prolonged discomfort had
finally overcome her. An antiquarian
traces the present mania for high seats to
the fact that at the old French courts sets
of handsome furniture were ranged along
the walls for effect, but were never occu
pied. The chairs and sofas actually used
were much lower. Furniture makers OF
today copy the more snowy pieces and
further enhance their inutiity by spring
cushions. The dictum of a famous cabl-
net maker is that in choosing chairs the
knee of person standing should come
clear above the seat he intends to occupy.
