FAMILY DOCTOR

An interesting subject that is at
present receiving some attention is the
influence Of mind culture in enlivening
and beautifying the countenance. II is
maintained that giving the mind work
to do improves a plain and express
sionless face and increases the charms
OF The face that is beautiful by nature.
After all, the subject is not new one.
we have all observed people who were
apparently very plain and uninterest-
ms, but whose countenances became
bright with intelligence and interest in
animated conversation. II is said that
any study that will evoke and hold
the interest and that is followed regu-
larly cannot but influence the facial
expression. Even enforced study will
have a modifying. refining effect, al
though not of course to the same de-
gree as if it We're pursued with en-
thusiasm. The person who desires to
benefit by the practice of this theory
should choose the study or pursuit that
best conforms to his or her natural
taste and then follow 1t sedulously. No
better proof of the minds ability to in
liuence the bodys appearance is needed
than the fact that you can tell a person
the minute you see him. The school
teacher the minister, the professor, the
scientist can all be told by the face
rather than by the manner of dress.
The habit of thought will affect not
only the countenance but the PERSONS
walk and carriage. A judiclous exercise
of the thought faculties and regular
mental application to some interesting
h..
flesh i'm the person of fieshy tendency.
on the other hand, it will supply the
necessary interest and self-forgetful-
ness that viii prevent the person Of
thin, nervous physique from getting
thinner and more nervous. CultiVating
the mind gives additional charm and
play of expression to the face just in
dulging the physical propensitics makes
the face look coarse and repulsive.
There is hardly any feature which
gives so much character to the face as
the nose, and much has been written
about the nose as an indicator of per-
sonal traits. In brief. a moderately
prominent nose is desirable. The nose,
being the organ of smell, is OF the ut
most importance aside from any rela-
tion it may bear to the character. II
is placed directly over the mouth so
that no food win be taken without n
sense Of its odor as we'll as its taste be-
ing conveyed to the brain. The nose is
not only the organ for smelling. but it
| is the chief passage for admitting air to
the lungs in respiration, being lined
with fine hairs for arresting particles
of dust and being so formed that the
air. IS warmed before IL reaC hes the
lungs. The nose also has marked in
| nucnce on the voice. II is said that
the sense OF smell is better developed
i'm men that i'm women. In the lower
animals. however. Il is much better
developed than in human beings. In
| the dog and cat this sense is very
strong also in the bear and IN some OF
the fishes, notably the shark. 1t ia

Does Not Agree With Wilson.
To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
sir: 1 was an interested reader Of the
address delivered by General James II.
Wilson before the graduating class of
Delaware College which was published in
YOUR PAPER on Wednesday last, and the
advice given by him TO the graduates was
admirable, but / wish TO cross swords
with him on one part OF his speech, and
that was In reference TO secret societies.
He said TO the young men: avoid secret
societies and meaningless associations.
The day for such things has long gone by.
They are unnecessary and expensive
I am somewhat surprised TO read such
words from a man as liberal minded as the
General When ne says that ''the day for
sue things has gone by" he shows thar
he Is not conversant with secret societies,
and before giving such advice to young
men, should first look into the matter.
There never was a time In the history of
this country when secret societies were
so prosperous, nor such activity shown.

From the New York Mail and Express.
We are not particularly proud of these
degree universities. They certainly cheap

in this State they are, quite properly, not
permitted to flourish. But they are not so
particular about their universities in Ten

City coIIeae Graduates.

From the New York Evening World
The College OF the city of New York
graduates only 1870 students as against
Columbia's four times as many yet the
list Of names of those who have finished
their course at the plain red brick build
ings at Twenty-third street is suggestive
of pride in American educational sys-
TEN no less earnest than that inspired by
a rich and celebrated university.
For on this list, from Altschul and APP
plebaum Through Keminsky and SUM
gelsSy to Wilensky and Wittstein, there
is 80 great a predominence of foreign
names that hardly 10, per cent. are the
sons OF nauve-born New Workers. Into
the educational hopper here much of the
rawest material goes to emerge In time
a finished product of excellence. These
children OF foreign parentage seize upon
opportunities for education which the ma
tive born neglect; centuries Of oppression
have not killed their aspiration for the
knowledge which within a few years af-
ter its acquisition Is to enable them "a
push to the front i'm business, in the law

General Wood in Tho Philippines.

From the Springfield Republican.
In view of the fact that General
Leonard Wood is to be the military
governor of the new district of the
Southern Philippines, embracing the
Mohammedan islands there is special
interest, as the New York Sun points
out. in the feature of the bill Of the
Taft commission which would grant a
special salary of $4,000 TO the military
governor out of the insular revenues.
For General Wood, as a brigadier in the
regular army draws a salary of $5,5OO,
so that the two salaries would give him
S11, 500 a year, or more than is paid to
the Lieutenant General. If this salary
provision goes through, it will be un-
fortunate for General Wood. since IL
would afford material to those who be-
lieye that he is the pet of the admin
lstration, and always has been the pet
since General Brooke was compelled TO
make way for him as governor of Cuba,
and since Wood. by profession doc
tor, was made a brigadier general of
the regular army on the strength OF SER
vices i'm no genuine sense military In
their character Our government has
never been in the habit of paying two
salaries to army officers.

BECAUSE They Are Rinht

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The anthracite miners in convention at
Scranton recently justified the confidence
Of the public in their common sense. They
stopped all talk of another strike, and
met the purely technical objection of the
operators by re-electing, by vote of dis
triot delegates, the members of the con-
chiation board already chosen by their ex-
ecuaive committee.
The miners gained the support Of the
public in their strike last year because
they were right. They won a great vic
cory before the national commission be-
cause they were right. And today they
san enjoy general sympathy because even
under provOcaion, they refuse to be put
in the wrong.

the result OF ordering a special term of
court for the trial Of the case. It will
therefore go over until the regular term
of the Criminal Court in September by
which time a fair trial can be assured to
the alleged culprit. The sober second
thought Of the people of Delaware. who
are sustly aroused by the perpetration OF
this henous crime, will endorse the ac-
ton Of the judges. as It will cause the
abandonment of all thoughts OF attempt

Not owned BY Contractors Now.

From the Doylestown Intelligencer.
What is coming TO pass i'm Philadel-
pria, when we hear of contractors be-
ing compelled to .disgorge some Of their
ill-gotten gains because of their short
comings? But that thing has actually
been witnessed in Philadelphia. The
director Of public works, who seems to
have been innocent enough to discover
these shortcomings, compelled certain
street cleaning contractors to hand out
S15S13 for failure to live up to the
terms Of their contract. If this sort of
thing keeps up, the people Of Philadel-
phia will actually get what is coming
to them from contractors lnstrusted
