Maturity of Trees.

Authorities on forestry say
that 70 years are required for the
oak to reach maturity; and about
the same length of time for the
ash, larch and elm; for the spruce
and fir about so years. After this
time their growth remains sta
tiOnary for some years, and then
decay begins. There are, how
ever, exceptions, for oaks are
still living which are known to be
over a thousand years old.

SELECTING A SECRETARY.
An Employer Counts a Good Deal
Upon First Appearances.

Upon First Appearances.
| once heard a business man
say that the best secretary
he ever had he selected wholly
from her appearance. Thirty
women, says the WOman's Com
panion, came in one rainy day in
answer to an advertisement.
Twenty looked detected and slOp-
Ply and ten of the twenty had for
gotten their umbrellas or over
shoes. Five were Overdressed
and came i'm cabs. Four were
silly, giggling little girls Of fifteen
or so, and one came freshly
grOOmed, tailOr-made, with crisp
linen, stout boots, neat umbrella
and hair dressed for windy, rainy
weather. He selected the last
without recommendation, and
found her just what he had judged
from her appearance good
worker and a wise associate.
OF course, some of the detected,
wet and tired girls might by
chance have "panned out" an.
ideal worker with a few days rest
and few weeks salary for fresh
clothes. Ability and real merit
are often lost in the misery that
comes from exhaustion and fail.
ure and fear. But the business
man does not know these things.
He is not blessed with second
sight. He gets at his decisions from
experience, not from prophetic
visions, and he does know that
more than half the time the girl
that looks careless is careless.
And so, in a competitive exam
nation of workers, men as we'll
as women, the swift eye of the
trained employer is pleased with
external charm. His judgment
becomes esthetic rather than pro-
fOund-and really it is the best
he can do.
