PEOPLE WHO APPEAR OLD.
How They May Preserve the Buoy

How They May Preserve the Buoy
ancy and Freshness of Youth.
People who appear old must expect
to be considered so, and, If they apply
for positions with every appearance
that senility has struck them and that
they have gone to seed. they cannot
expect favorable consideration. II gray
haired applicants for positions would
only appreciate the value of appear
ances and would brace up when they
seek situations-go well groomed"
and well dressed. with elastic steps,
showing that they still possess fire.
force and enthusiastically would
eliminate an obstacle greater than
their gray hairs. 3
We think ourselves into incapacity
by looking for signs of age and dwell
ing on them. and the body follows the
thought. We should, therefore, avoid
the appearance of age in every posi-
Bile way-by dress, carriage, converse
ton and especially by our attitude to-
ward people and things. 1t is not diff
cult to preserve the buoyancy and
freshness of youth, but it must be done
by constant effort and practice. A mu-
stefan who expects to make only one or
two important appearances a year
must keep up his practice. Youthful
ness cannot be put on for day If old
age has had a 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 every
thing that interests youth. Many of
us seem to think that youthful sports
and pastimes are foolish, and before
we know it we get entirely out Of SYM
pathy with all young life, and conse-
quently really old, whatever our years.
We must think youthful thoughts, as
sociate with young people and interest
them. When a person ceases to inter
est the young he may he sure that he

TEMPERANCE.
Growth Of the Spirit Shown In Recent
Legislation.

Growth Of the Spirit Shown In Reesn,
Legislation.
30 much noise is made over the
temperance question and the enforce
ment Of anti-liquor laws In our North
ern States that the general public has
been able to hear and know but little
about the progress Of such laws In
the South, where more actual ad
vancement has been progressing all
through the South for many years,
until the larger parts of the States Of
Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana have been
brought practically under prohibition.
One may travel entirely across some
OF these States. It Is said, without
passing through q single saloon dis
trict. Even Texas, which in years
gone By very unjustly gained the
reputation Of being loose and lswless,
has been almost captured by the pro.
hibitionists. Three-fourths of the
State Is now said to be under the
Local Option law excluding all liquor.
To be more precise, of the 236 coun.
ties OF the State, 1O4 are wholly dry
save the county seat, and only fifty.
eight are wholly wet. And the coun-
ties that are e. 1er wholly or largely
dry represent total population Of g..
21S,O39, while the wet counties repre-
sent only 725,S25. A movement il
now on foot in Texas to pass a pro.
hibitory law applicable to the whole
State. and on the basis of the figures
quoted It looks as II the thing would
be done. 1t may thus happen that
while Vermont and New Hampshire,
on our Northern border. have actually
abandoned prohibition, the great
Commonwealth on the Southwest will
take II up, and. what is more, will be
likely to enforce it. affording the rest
OF the country unique object lesson.

Despite the great progress In medical
science, leprosy is still considered In
durable. Therefore the announcement.
made by q Brazilian doctor In the
German Medical Weekly. that rattle
snake poison Is q cure for that horrible
malady. has received great deal OF
attention. ~ ls ~ 80
From time immemorial the natives
OF Brazil have looped upon the rattle-
snake as q specific against skin dis
cases; they eat the snake-that Is, all
except the head. This led the doctor
to obtain the poison of live snakes by
inducing them to bite into wads of
cotton, and to give to lspers carefully
measured quantities Of the poison d.
luted with glycerine. The first patient
SO treated was mulatto woman who
had been anaicted with ispresy for ten
years and was unable to leave her bed.
This woman, - well as fourteen other
ispers, improved rapidly--the knobs
on the skin disappeared, the ulcers
healed rapidly and the sense OF touch
returned.
This. however. does not imply that
iepers are immune against snake
poison.
