HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.
Growing Old Is Largely a Habit OF
Mind, Says Writer.

How old are you? The adage says
that women are as old as they look
and men as old as they feel. That's
wrong, says a writer in the New York
Times. A man and woman are as old
as they take themselves to be.
Growing old is largely habit of the
mind. LAS a man thinketh in his
heart so is he." If he begins shortly
after middle age to imagine himself
growing old he will be old.
To keep ones self from decrepitude
is somewhat matter of will power.
The fates are kind to the man who
hangs on to life with both hands. He
who lets go will go. Death is slow only
to tackle the tenacious.
Ponce de Leon searched the wrong
place for the fountain of youth. 1t is
in ones self. One must keep ones
self young inside. So that, while the
outer man perisheth, the inner man is
renewed day by day."
When the human mind ceases to
exert itself, when there is no longer
an active interest in the affairs of this
life, when the human stops reading
and thinking and doing, the man, like
a blasted tree, begins to die at the
top.
You are as old as you think you are.
Keep the harness on. Your job is not
done.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1904-12-30

shadow with averted face. The man
hesitated and his heart told him how
completely at his mercy this trem-
bling girl was, and yet-he loved her
and his whole self cried out, "Lattis.
Lattis!" A timid touch aroused him
and two soft lips whispered in his
ear, "Stay." Then because of his ST.
lence she drew back and cried with
obandon, God, what have | done?'
The man crossed to the door and
went out without a single backward
glance, nor did he utter one word,
though he heard the girls dry, heart
breaking sobs.
Late that night Lattis rose from
her couch where she had been lying
tossing and sleepless, threw on a
loose gown and dropped into a chair
before her open window. The brilliant
moonlight shone into her room. Sud.

All Bows Steal,

Speaking to the Congress of Moth
ers, Mrs. A. X. Ramsey, who as chief
probation officer of the juvenile court,
has had much experience with youth
full offenders, rather startled her hear
ers by her somewhat severe remarks
on boyish honesty. Il have discover
ed" she said that there is no man
living, no matter how honest he may
be in his mature years, who was not
guilty of stealing in his boyhood. I've
asked each male member of my own
family whether he ever did any steal
ing when a boy, and the answer has
invariably and frankly been in the
affirmative. Even my own son shock
ed me by telling me that once, when
he was a little boy, he stole all the
sailed almonds had prepared to serve
at luncheon. I've come to the con-
clhsion that there's no such thing as
an honest boy."-Philadelphia Record.

point. What do you see as the main
thing to hope for and to work for in
1905? You may ponder that question
a week and il you are sane man you
will come to just one conclusion. To
get more character-that is the I'M
DERIVING motive of worthy mans
buying and selling, coming and going
down-sitting and uprising through
out any twelve months. To see your
self year hence a finer, stronger,
sweeter, purer spirit man than you
are to-day-that is the real purpose
of forward look. Come to think of
it, that is all life is for anyway, TO get
little more character day by day
out of toll, out Of pleasure, out OF
discipline, out of mistakes and fail
ures even. That Is the best possible
thing the rich can get out of 1905.
That is within the reach Of the poor
est.
And a comprehensive forward look
ought to embrace besides 1905 the
wear after it, and the year after that,
and so on until earthly years are
swallowed up in the Heavenly, and
man goeth to his long and his real
home. 1t may not be this New Years
Sunday, but some New Years Sunday
will be our last on earth. Why not,
then, look forward confidently, calmly
to the ampler, richer life that stretch
es away beyond the grave. 1t is not
a thought to depress one at the open
ing of the year, but to quicken and
inspire. MAY God forgive me-" said
Charles Kingsley, the great English
preacher and novelist, 'for looking
forward with eager curiosity to the
life beyond this" No man, least of
all Charles Kingsley, need ask to be
pardoned for a vivid interest in the
hereafter. 1t is rather to the discredit
of most of us that we have no interest
| at all.
AS one thus stands at his chamber
window and looks out and forward
and thinks of the rich, mysterious fu-
ture of all that 1905 holds of Joy and
pain, Of all that one wants to do and
of all that may befall one, the little
prayer of the Breton fisherman comes
to mind, "Take care Of me, o God;
ny ocean is 70 wide and my boat ID
- small"

veranda form appeared and before
she could move or cry, kneeled be-

"Lattis," voice she knew we'll

This was not the logic he expected,
and it startled him little. Then all
his manhood uprose.
"Lattis, you are queen; your heart
is the purest in the world. Because
love you in the best way a man can

his hot lips to her hand and went

MAMMOTHS NOT ALL LARGE.
Contrary to Superstition They Were
Often Smaller Than Jumbo.

The fine specimen of the tusks and
recently been acquired by the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History, New
York. The specimen was discovered
in the sands of western Texas, and
the tusks are little short of the largest
yet described among either living or
fossil members of the elephant family.
SO far as preserved, the tusks meas
ure 13 feet inches from the base to
the tips. and there is at least foot
broken away from the end, making
total estimated length of II feet q
inches.
The height of this mammoth must
have been at least fourteen feet, or
about two feet higher than that OF the
famous African elephant Jumbo, the
skeleton of which is in the same muse
UNI. Very few mammoths reached
this size and the majority were de-
cidedly smaller than Jumbo. Several
more or less entire carcasses OF NAM
moths have been discovered in Siberia,
and one was so well preserved that II
has been stuffed and mounted like
a modern quadruped in the Imperial
Museum at st. Petersburg. When the
German ocean was dry land, and Great
Britain part of a peninsula, the NAM
moth lived in England and its fossil
remains are not only found on the
land, but are represented by hundreds
of mOmmoth teeth GredSed from the
depths of the North Sea by trawlers.
The American mastoden was a rela-
tive of the mammoth. but differed
from it in being more massive. and
somewhat lower. No entire remains
Of a mastoden have been discovered,
but from those available it is possible
to obtain a good idea of what the ami
nal was like in life.-Leisure Hour.

New Years Day.

The celebration of the commence
ment of the new year dates from high
antiquity. The Jews regarded it as
the anniversary of Adams birthday,
and celebrated it with splendid enter
tainments-a practice which they have
continued down to the present time.
The Romans also made this holiday,
and dedicated it to James with rich
and numerous sacrifices; the newly
elected magstracy entered upon their
duties on this day; all undertakings
then commenced were considered sure
to terminate favorably; the people
made each other presents OF gilt
dates, figs and plums, and even the
emperors received from their SUBJ
iects new years gifts, which at a
later period it became compulsory to
bestow. From the Romans the Gus.
tom of making presents on Lew
Years day was borrowed by the
Christians, by whom 1t was long re-
tanned, until Christmas day usurped
its privileges; but even in those coun-
tries where it fingered longest, in
France and Scotland, for instance,
congratulatory wishes are now almost
universally substituted for the more
substantial presents that were iorm-
erly conferred on this day, - marks
Of affection and esteem.

DECAY IN SKIN FRUITS.
It Is fastened by Breaking of the
Natural Covering.


Skin fruits are generally exposed
for sale without thought of causing
trouble and nature really intended
that the skin should be a protection to
the fruits in more ways than one, says
What to Eat. A skin fruit that has
not had its outside punctured Will
keep many times longer than another
which has been cut or bruised. AS
soon as the skin is broken countless
germs of putrefaction and fermenta-
ton get lodged therein and the wound
quickly becomes the weak point IN
the fruit to cause its destruction.
Apples with the skin even slightly
punctured cannot be kept in cold stor-
age more than few months, but those
which are absolutely perfect in the
skin will keep nearly a year in low
temperature. This very fact indicates
to us how dangerous fruit becomes
when it's skin has been punctured ana
is exhibited on the stalk for sale. Many
children buy these injured apples,
bananas, grapes. oranges and other
fruit. and eat them without regard 10
their decayed condition. With one
mouthful they may consume lew
thousand germs. some dangerous to
the health and others not especially
injurious, owing to natures wise pre-
cautions in supplying our stomach
with fluids capable of destroying them.
The ordinary stomach is able to cope
with a whole army of deadly germs
and scores of times it saves us from
death.

Looking
Forward
i1~vl~-ss-vlr.~srvtt'~ssv1"C;

Despite all that cynics and jokers
say about new resolutions and the use
lessness of looking ahead, there is
glory about these opening days of the
year which comes not again until
twelve months have~flown. 1t is com.
parable only to the splendor of sum-
mer sunrise, to the peace and Joy
upon the face of pure young bride
as she goes to the marriage altar, to
the thrilling moment when a stately
ship glides for the first time into the
waters. All the charm and potency
that go with beginnings belong to the
initial days Of January.
A man may, perhaps, be pardoned
for being unwilling to look forward,
but he misses it if he is too busy or
too Indifferent to look forward to
stand for a moment this morning at
his chamber window and looking out
upon the world to send his gaze for
ward into the coming year. What will
it hold for you? What do they all
amount to anyway-these swiftly pass
ing years? What do you see ahead
worth looking at? A moments pause
like this wonderfully clarifies the vi
sion and sets a good many things in
their proper light. Some men looking
forward see only the lions in the way
the note to be met next April, the
unpleasant change in business or in
residence next July, the burden that
must be shouldered in Novem Der. 1t
is manly to look at them squarely, to
prepare in season to meet them, II
you are morally sure to encounter
them. But to worry OYER contingent
cies or mere possibilities is not legiti-
mate.
At all events one should not linger
long in his forward look upon the
somber elements of the vision. The
thing to look at longest and hardest

p A Greeting to
J the Coming Year q
f:i~t,--ss.vl,-~s~rNy~~ssvls<t]

We are on the threshold of new
year. We do not know what the year
holds for us, but we are not afraid OF
it. We have learned to look for kind
ness and goodness in all our paths,
and so we go forward with glad hope
and expectation.
1t is always a serious thing to live.
We can pass through any year but
once. If we have lived negllgently,
we cannot return to amend what we
have slurred over. We cannot correct
mistakes, fill up blank spaces, erase
lines we may be ashamed of, cut out
pages unworthily filled. The irrevo-
cableness of life ought alone to be
motive enough for incessant watchful-
ness and diligence. Not word we
write can be changed. Nothing we do
can be Cancelled.
Another element of seriousness In
living. is the influence of our life on
other lives. We do not pass through
the year alone; we are tied W with
others in our homes, our friendships,
our companionships our associations,
our occupations. We are always
touching others and leaving impress
sions on them. Human lives are like
the photographers sensitized plates,
receiving upon them the image OF
whatever passes before them. Our
careless words drop, and we think not
where they fall; but the lightest of
them lodges in some heart and leaves
its blessing or its blight All our acts,
dispositions and moods do something
in the shaping and coloring Of other
lives.
1t is said that every word whispered
into the air starts vibrations which
will culver on and on forever. The
same is true also of influences which
go out from our lives in the common
est days-they will go on forever.
This should make us most careful
what we do, what we say, and what
quality Of life we give to the world.
1t would be sad indeed if we should
set going unholy or hurtful influences,
if we should touch even one life I'M
wholesomeiy, if we should speak even
word which starts a soul toward
death.-J. r. Miller. D. D.
