A study of the sultan.

The sovereign was a frail, worn,
pale faced man of between fifty-6ve
and sixty years, with thin, rather fine
features except for his prominent nose.
A well kept but grfzzled beard covered
the lower part Of his face. he had
slight forward sinking OF the head and
shoulders. as though the years had
weighed too heavily upon him. Yet he
showed ktngly dignity as he drew him
self up to salute the throng pressing
to the windows Of the rooms assigned
to the comfort Of European visitors. I
Ind stood wedged in a mass OF Turks
within i've feet of him TWENTY-FIVE
years before. on the day when he was
formally girded with the sword of Os-
man. he was then n slender, erect
young man OF thirty-five years, pale
faced and smooth shaven but for a
black mustache. His bearing produced
no particular impression OF power, and
IL was a matter OF somewhat surprised
Interest to see this immature prince

The Literary Chap In Finance.
II know literary chap, good writer

business sense, who suddenly decided
the thing for him to do was to start a
bank account" said the secretary Of n
financial institution He came in TO
see me about t. j asked him how
much he had, and he said he had saved
$50. I told him we rarely started ac-
counts on such small deposits, but
would make en- exception In his case
to encourage thrift and school him In
business.
HE went through the preliminaries
nervously, signed the signature card.
put his money In and got a nice new
bank book. BY that time he was all
austered. They gave him a check book.
and he decided he would have to have
some money for present use. The re-
ceiving teller introduced him to the
paying teller, and he inquired the
procedure OF checking out money. The
paying teller explained ut length. Then
my literary friend went over to the
desk and wrote a check for his entire
$50, got the money and went out"

Growth of the Human Heart.

A scientific analysis OF the growth Of
the human heart demonstrates the fact
that the Increase is greatest and most
rapid during the first and second years
on life, its bulk at the end Of the Sec
ond year being exactly double what II
originally was. Between the second
and seventh years It is again doubled
In size. A slower rate OF growth then
sets In and continues during the period
OF maturity OF other portions of the
body. After the fifteenth year up to
the hftieth the annual growth Of the
heart is about .06T OF a cubic. inch,

MAKING MODERN MINERS.

How Young Technical school Stu
dents I'm q MD City Are Taught
The word "mine," with It's immediate
suggestion Of treasures buried deep
down In the earth and only awaiting
the coming Of hardy adventurcr with
pickax and shovel to dig them up
and make a fortune, hardly suggests
the fact that modern mining Is n SCI
ence and that the miner often learns
his craft In schools far away from the
mining regions. Such, however. Is the
case, the mining engineering depart
ment OF the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, for example, being located
In historic Boston, in a commonwealth
that has almost no mines whatever.
The--future mining engineer is not
confined to classrooms and text books
when he has got through the prelimi-
nary study of chemistry, physics and
mathematics and has become also q
fair craftsman. he practices survey
Ing In the open air, spending much
time in the city parks with his survey
Ing instruments, and then II Is time for
him TO learn how work is done In real
mines There are no mines In eastern
Massachusetts, but there is a pretty
complete outfit for practically all kinds
or mining operations run by the insti-
tute itself for the purpose OF training
Its mining engineers.
The student has only to pass from
one room into another, and there, un-
der the very halls where lecturing and
book learning flourish, are glowing of
furnaces, q rumble OF grinding mills
and q Jar OF falling stamps, all going
ON In half concealing and very mine
Hike atmosphere Of dust from the rock
crusherA In this big room there are
usually, In fact, more machines at work
and more things going on than at many
real nfne-emalgzmating pans, a
Jig. by which small copper bearing
pebbles arc separated from other peb-
Dies bearing nothing In particular;
heavy stamps under which gold Quartz
Is crushed to powder and the fine gold
gathered on quicksilvered plate or. II
1t fails to deposit there, finally caught
on a broad rubber belt over which
streams Of water play constantly to
wash away the accompanying mud and
leave the clean, bright metal: a rever-
berating furnace that roasts metals Mt
frightfui temperatures until IL melts
away their Impurities.
All OF this, Of course. Is very different
from the romantic picture OF the miner
with his pickax and shovel, but 1t is
an interesting illustration OF the COM
piexity or modern mining operation

Dranch or tree. So through all time
the influence of our lives for good or
evil shall go on bringing forth fruit.
As the Tree Grows, So IL Pals.
There is another significant reason
why the dead tree nearly always falls
In the way 1t has grown-the direction
is determined by the influences which
were at work upon its younger life.
The proverb declares that ..old trees
cannot be transplanted." The knots
are too big. The trunk is too bent.
The branches are too heavy. The roots
are too wide to be lifted and moved.
The imperfections of trees may be the
more readily recognizable in their old
age, but the influences which caused
the tree to grow to the north or to the
south nearly always do their work for
good or evil when the trees are hardly
more than small saplings. II this fact
be true, is it not of utmost Importance
that parents should carefully look after
the work of rearing their children? A
middle aged man said TO me. some time
ago: The most awful realization that
