People VINO Appear Old.
HuccesS.)

People who appear old must expect to
be considered so; and, if they apply for
positions with every appearance that Senil-
ity has struck them, and that they have
gone to seed, they can not expect favor
able consideration. If gray-haired appli-
cants for positions would only appreciate
the value of appearances, and would
brace up when they seek situations-go
well groOmed" and well dressed. with
elastic steps, showing that they still pos
sess fire, force, and enthusiasm-they
would eliminate an obstacle greater than
their gray hairs. We think ourselves into
incapacity by looking for signs of age and
dwelling on them. and the body follows
the thought. We should. therefore, avoid
the appearance of age in every possible
way, by dress, carriage, conversation. and
especially by our attitude toward people
and things. 1t is not difficult to preserve
the buoyancy and freshness of youth, but
it must be done by constant effort and
practice. a musician who expects to-makc
only one or two important appearances
Il year must keep up his practice. Youth
fulness can not be put on for day if old
age has had n grip on you for months. 1t
Is important to preserve the fire of youth
as long as possible, to carry freshness and
vigor into old age by keeping up hearty
interest in everything that interests youth
Many of us seem to think that youthful
sports and pastimes are foolish, and, be-
fore we know it, we get entirely out Of
sympathy with all young life, and conse-
quently really old, whatever our years
We must think youthful thoughts, asso-
ciate with young people, and interest them.
When person ceases to interest the
young, he may be sure that he is showing
signs Of old age.

A Wonderful Table.

Mr.. r. c. Kersey. of New Providence,
Iowa, is the owner of Il very valuable and
interesting table. 1t was made for him
by Mr.. Mark Alberry. who has Il rather
unique shop in that little place. and he
was about two years in the making.
working, however, principally at odd
moments. stormy days and dull seasons.
The work was labor of love, and, as
Ebert Hubbard would say, is the ex-
preston Of n mans joy in his work. In
the top of, this table, which is made from
n black walnut gnarl about Is by 20
inches, are inlaid something like 60 pieces
of wood of various shapes, sizes, and col
ors. Many of these are souvenirs of rare
value. A few years ago Mr. J. l.. Arm
strong, while on Il trip through the South.
visited the spot where once had been the
famous Andersonviile Prison. He had
great difficulty in locating the place, but
after persistent efforts stood once more
on the 13 acres which he had last seen
covered with starving human beings. From
one of the logs forming the walls of the
old stOckade, then rotting. Mr.. Armstrong
picked solid pine knot, which he brought
home and presented TO Mr.. Kersey as
n memento of their mutual experience
In the center of the table. Mr.. Alberry
has placed a section of this pine knot.
SO dense and heavy as to be almost en-
blematic of the gloom of the terrible place
from which it was taken. Near this, in
the shape of cannon ball, is a piece of
cane made from a sapling cut from be-
hind the breatwOrks where stood our gal
liant boys in that historic battle of July

BIG CATFISH WAKES UP.
Takes Light Breakfast of Eels on April 4
Its First Meal in Seven Months.
New York Sun)

The big Mississippi River catfish at the
Aquarium. which passes its Winters in a
state of Information, took its first food this
year on April 4, which is earlier than
usual. In 1902 it ate for the first time az
ter its Winter period of repose on Aprll
2S and in 1901 Oh April 80.
The big catfish took its last food 1902
on Aug. 10; so that its period of Austen
ton for the Winter season of 1923 was
seven months and 20 days, which is about
the usual duration; for. while it began
eating this year somewhat earlier than
usual, it began its fast last year rather
earlier than usual.
In its river home this big catfish would
bury itself in the mud in Winter and
there lie till Spring came. In the Aquarium
it settles on the bottom of the tank and
lies nlotionless, sometimes for weeks on
a stretch 1t may at long intervals scratch
itself n little Oh the gravelly bottom of
the tank, but commonly, like carved fish,
it lies motiOnless.
Then. when the water begins warming
up again, with the return of Spring, the
big fish wakes up and is ready for break
fast. Its inaugural meal for the season
of 1903 was pound and a half of eels.

A UNIQUE ORGANIZATION.
What Five Hundred Iowa Farmers Have Ac-
complished by Cooperation.
(May Century,

The company is unique among organ
iZationS of the people. 1t is not coOpera-
tive as the long lines of industry which
stretch out from the home of modern CO.
operation in the English town of Rochdale
are cooperative. 1t is not communal in
any sense, like the Amana, the Oneida
and similar societies. 1t is not held to-
gether by any political religious or socio-
logical tie. Its only bond is that which
maintains every successful business or
ganzation in the world. These farmers
have turned business men, and they have
been so extraordinarily successful that
they stand ready to become manufacturers
whenever they find that they cannot buy
in fair market. 1t appears to be the
first commanding proof that the common
people in country place or town or city
have in themselves the power to apply a
remedy to the diseases of such trusts or
combinations Of capital MS are inimical to
the welfare of the general public.
1t is worthy the attention of the stu
dent Of prescnt-day problems. as well as
of the investor, that, in this day of enor-
nous imitation of capital stock, the bust
ness Of these Iowa farmers, running now
well on to $1,O0O,0OO year. has been
conducted on Il capital never larger than
$4,000. Still more significant, it requires
the assent of two-thirds of the 800 mem
bers of the firm before any money may
be borrowed, and no more than 5000
may be borrowed at any one time At
no time may the total indebtedness of
the firm rise above $1,000. The bylaws
of the company's articles Of incorporation
provide that no shareholder shall sign any
bond, or sign, indorse or guarantee any
note, bill, draft or contract, or in any way
assume any liability, verbal or written,
for the benefit or security of any person,
without the written consent of Majority
of the directors. The bylaws also pro-
vide that none of the funds of the COM
pany shall be loaned to any person.

Speed Greater Than That of Light.

Two years ago Il new star blazed out
i'll the constellation Perseus. Such new
stars gre by no means rare. but this was
so great and varied in brilliancy so rapid
~ that it was specially noteworthy. Soon
after the Outburst that made the star so
bright it was found to be surrounded by
Il ncbula. and this nebuia spread outward
around the nucleus. gradually, as seen by
the naked eye, because of the stars great
distance, but really with immense speed.
In fact. it has been calculated that this
speed was so great that it seems mpos-
sible that the spread of the nebula could
have been due TO the motion of ordinary
matter at all. 1t has been suggested that
the apparent motion was really only n pro-
sressive illumination of the nebulous matter
by light from the exploded star. But Prof.
Simon Newcomb calculates that even this
will not account for the motion, for it was
at least 10 times that of light. We have
thus actually observed motion in the
heavens that vastly exceeds any other
that we have ever heard of, whether it
be of projected matter or of ether-waves.
What it is, we can not at present even con.

One of Lincoln's Visitors.
(Success.)

It was Abraham Lincoln's rule to re-
ceive callers ut the White House from 9
until O'Clock, except on days when the
Cabinet met. 1t was a rule. however,
more honored in the breach than in the
observance. Visitors found their way into
his presence from early morning until late
ut night. and even his sleeping hours were
not wholly free from their opportunities.
Late i'll the day, when the weather and
his duties permitted, he drove out for an
hours airing. Almost invariably, some
camp or hospital was the objective point
of the days ride. He was, from the first,
the personal friend of every soldier he
sent to the front, and from the first, also.
every soldier seemed to divine. as if by
intuition, that he had Mr.. Lincoln's heart.
Stories of how the President interfered,
personally, to secure some right or favor
for the man afoot with gun on his
shoulder, steadily found their way to the
army; and, as the war went on and bat
tie followed battle, the wounded soldier
hobblinG into the White House became a
sight too familiar to cause remark. None
departed without cheer or help of some
kind, and in all parts of the country lit
tie cards are treasured by private soldiers,
each of which bears witness to some kind
ly act performed or requested by the
President. One of them reads:
SECRETARY OF WAR: Please see this
y
shall be satisfied with whatever you do
with him.
Aug. u, 1868. A. LINCOLN.
The original of this note is in posses
sion of William Il. Post, Il citizen of
Washington, Pa. Post enlisted when less
than 16 years of age, was stricken with
fever shortly after entering the service,
and was sent to a hospital in Washington.
When able to leave his bed, he requested
his Captain to allow him to return home,
promising that. as soon as he should re-
cover, he would gladly take up his musket
and go to the front. The Captain, how
ever, turned a deaf ear to his entreaties,
and. as last resort, Post sought an
audience with the President.
MY boy" said Mr.. Lincoln, as the lad
concluded his story, IF you want to go
home to your mother, you shall. You
were too young to go into the war, and
the man who permitted You to enlist
should be dismissed from the service. l
admire your courage and patriotism. but
your place is at home with your mother
The President then wrote the note
quoted above, handed it to Post, and. tell
ing him that would put him through his
trouble, dismissed him with God bless
you" Secretary Stanton gave him n fur
Tough and transportation home. When he
regained his health and strength, he re-
turned to the army, and fought with his
regiment until the close of the war.

TACOMA'S BIG SAWMILL.
With One Exception 1t Is the Largest in the
World.
NIay Century,

At Tacoma / visited Il sawmll said to
have a greater capacity than any other in
the United States, and, with one eXcep-
ton lin Norway, the greatest in the
world. 1t IS, in fact, two separate mills,
covering Il wide, low fiat. with docks on
the sound where ships can be loaded at
the door of the yards. Here the logs from
the camp which we visited are sawed.
They are dumped from the railroad cars
into ponds of water and held until the
mill is ready to cut them into lumber. Mr..
Royce showed me through this great es-
tablishment, with its devices for handling
the enormous logs of fir and cedar, hem
lock and spruce, which came to it daily.
Nearly every step in the long process is
performed by some human-like machine
Logs weighing many tons are handled

tain lengths-every!hing moving at once,
smoothly, with absolute exactitude. In
II minutes from the time the log enters
the mill it has been reduced TO lumber of
several grades: the poor parts have been
whitfield up into lath and shingles, the
slabs have been shot out on n great pile
for frewood, and the remaining bark,
sawdust and refuse have been carried
away to the fire heap. This mill cuts

MIGHTY TREES OF SIERRA. :
Greatest in Size Of All Creations of the Liv-
ing World.
NIay Century


During all these ages nature has fav-
ored the growth of forests on the Pacific
mountains, providing the peculiar condi-
tons which make them far different,
much greater in size, more luXuriant, than
any other in the world. Of all the crea-
tons of the living world none is so great
in size, so majestic in presence, as the
mighty trees of the Sierra and the Cas-
cades. For here the air is always fertile
with moisture; clouds blown in from the
Pacific Ocean rest among the mountain
SUBMITS, even browning the tops of the
trees themselves and here discharge their
rain. The soil is deep and spongy with
centuries of decomposing vegetable mat
ter, furnishing an unequalled nuturlng
place for vegetation. and there are no eX-
tremeS of heat in Summer or depths OF
cold in Winter. Every condition has been
favorable to unexampled eyuberance of
growth not only of the larger trees. but of
all manner of underground. vine, shrub
and brake. \ huge tree falls, decays, and

it, in time. becomes a great tree. Even

We hear much of the magnitude of
Western numbering operations. Truly
they are great and wonderful. and yet
so vast are the forests that men have
barely notched the edges. An eye that
could see the continent length would hard

loggers among the great trees. though he
might see the blackened evidences of the
