WORLD

almost reduces itself to the question
| of whether you would rather be well
off while you were young or nave
/ plenty and comfort for middle life ana
! old age, and before Jack is sent about
! his business it is just as well to try
to solve this conundrum.
Maud's father says, and truly, that
he has nothing but her happiness at
| heart. He believes that she VIII be
perfectly miserable living in less style,
with fewer clothes, and palmer sur
rOundings than she is accustomed TO.
That depends on Maud If she is the
kind of girl whose heart is cut on the
bias and frilled in the middle, and
whose soul will go to Paris when she
dies, she viii never be indiscreet enough
to fall in love with a man who isn't
strictly eligible from a worldly point
of view. She is just as Incapable OF
adoring a man without big bank ac-
count as she would be of falling In
, love with a man without nose. But
the girl whose true heart beats just as
faithfully and warm under velvet as it
would under linsey wolsey, whose eyes,
unblinded by wealth and fashion. are
keen to see the man and not the posi-
ton, and who is willing to exchange a
few of the trappings that money can
buy for good, honest love and respect,
knows what she is about when she
picks out her own particular lack and
refers him to papa. And papa makes
the mistake of his life if he refuses
his blessing for no other reason than
because the sutton can't support Maud
i'm the style in which she is accustom-
ed to live.
There is. also, this other point OF
view that If Maud's father has raised
her with such luxurious tastes that she
cannot be happy on the income that
an ordinarily successful man can offer
her, it is nothing but common fairness
for her fond and foolish parent to pro-
vide her with a dowry that will offset
her demand for frills. That is one
way around the question, and certainly
it is quite as just as to expect the
young man to be able to humor the I'M
reasonable extravaganza and wasteful-
ness in which the daughters Of so many
rich parents are reared. AS ii is, the
average worthy young man is apt to
fight shy of the rich girl. The idea of
breaking into a family where you are
not desired because you are poor is not
alluring, neither is it consoling to feel
that your wife will be considered as
martyr for marrying you. The mod
ern father must adopt a kinder atti-
tude il he doesn't want to be left with
lot of old maid daughters on his
hands.

LOVE AND AFFECTION.

We send our love" so freely hither
and thither, and without the slightest
hesitation, so cordially ask that this
one and that one shall accept 1t, says
writer in the New York Evening
Post. that it is quite startling if some
accident some fear of loss, some sud
den realization of the bare and not
pleasant facts betrays our real feel
ings regarding those whom we so en-
dow. Thank God, we care with kind
and sympathetic interest for many, we
cherish a gentle and really affection
ate regard for all those whose engage
ing qualities have been made known
to us, but those we love are few. If
death or long separation threaten
these, they stand forth from the null
titude which has included all the COM
psrative forms of affection, as If they
were of wholly a different creation;
these are the few indispensable souls
by whom life is made worth living.
1t seems like a finical and unreal dis
tinction, this drawing of hair's-breadth
lines between love and the affections,
but all that in days of rest and peace
and placid intercourse may seem arti-
fetal and overstrained is made only
too vivid and real when the danger of
losing one whom we truly love acts
like an x-ray upon what separates love
from it's congeners.
The reverse of this revelation is one
of the most delightful experiences we
are capable of enjoying; when in an
hour of des0lation a suffering friend
selects us out of all who grieve for
the pain or affilction which is darken-
ing life and says: Come and comfort
me; l cannot do without you" by
that one appeal our lives, however re-
stricted, made precious. To one at
least we are Indispensable, and none
of us ask more than this! And to how
few-how very few-is this joy grant
ed. To believe that our own disap-
pearance from the daily walks which
carry us forward on our brief journey
would change life from a blessing to
a mere endurance, and leave one who
leaned on us crippled and impover-
ished, makes it easy to accept their
burden and add 1t to our own.
Many a carping, fault-flnding human
being, pessimistic, bitter and hard of
Judgment, might have let go all these
trying and dsagreeable qualities IL
they could have been made capable Of
understanding that by these they had
ceased TO deserve loves reliance and
appeal, and had shut the door against
that form of fondness by which men
and women become Indispensable to
each other.
When the craving of our hearts to
excite and hold this eager confiding at
tachment is naturally so intense, 1t is
strange that we really grasp the idea
that the basis of such claim must be
laid in forgetfulness of self and the
conquest of the gloomy and complain
ing spirit that is born of disappoint-
ed self-seeking. We cannot fail to
strive for what so enhances our value
even in our own estimation.

JAPANESE BABIES.

The babies of all except the richest
Japanese, says the Chicago Tribune,
are carried about on the back Of an
elder sister or brother from the time
they are few months old. The poor
er the parents the sooner the baby is
fastened onto the back of some elder
member of the family, and it is not
uncommon in the poorer quarters of
a japanese city to see a group of chill
dren or years old playing in the
streets, each of whom bears a tiny
baby sister or brother fastened with
a few straps to its back.
These straps are just SUFFICIENT to
prevent the baby from falling to the
ground, leaving the comfort of its pos
ture entirely dependent on its own ex-
ertions. AS a result, the Japanese baby
early gains a surprising control of its
muscles, and it is almost impossible
to drop even a tiny child from your
arms, so firmly does it cling on with
both arms and legs.
The dressing of a Japanese baby is
a simple matter. 1t wears nothing but

HE LOST A CUSTOMER.

She walked into the General POST
office. says the New York Press, and,
stepping up to the stamp window with
number of addressed envelopes in
her hand. said to the clerk inside:
"Give me fifty cents worth of two
cent stamps, please"
The clerk passed out the stamps,
which she received in one hand, while
the other was engaged in search for
coin in a handbag At length, when
long line of people were waiting to
get at the window, she found a nickel
and three coppers.
why, good gracious" she exclaim-
ed with a startled look. II must have
spent all my money. But never mind,
I'm coming down town tomorrow and
well, I'll drop in and pay you then"
Very sorry, madam" the clerk said
mildly but firmly, you will either
have to pay for the stamps now or re-
turn them"
do you mean to tell me that you
will not trust me for a few misera BILE
postage stamps? And with my sister
in Chicago anxiously waiting to hear
from me about the parlor curtains ?
It's the most outrageous thing 1 ever
knew. Why, 1 could get credit this
minute in any store in the city"
This is not store, madam, and we
don't keep running accounts. This is
the General Postoffice."
We'll, shall write to the postmas-
ter and"
There are people behind you,
madam, waiting. l shall have to

Very we'll. There they are" said
she, handing them back But you

LUCK IN A KISSABLE CHIN.

II may not be pretty" said girl,
to a representative of the New York
Sun, "but 1 have a kissable chin, and
that is batter. So they tell me.
"A kissable chin is one that is not
double. The double chin is too uncer-
tain to be kissable. You don't know
just where you are at.
The kissable chin is the property of
the girl with the classic profile, and
to own such a chin is in itself a for
tune. Other girls are twice as pretty
as /. but their chins are disagreeabls
and they do not awaken so much adj
miration as /.
Nov, my chin, being kissable, is
pink. Pink is the inviting color, the
color of love. My chin is as pink as
the palms of my hands. Malicious
people say l rouge it.
Then my chin is round, too. In
profile 1t is lean and clear cut like
the profile OF Joan of Arc. But, as
you look me full in the face and glance
at my chin, you say: oh, how sweet!
There ought to be a dimple in the
middle of it. but there isn't.
Making a dimple is not such hard
work. 1 know a girl who had a dim
pie put in her chin. They make an
incision and cut muscle.
Ine woman Win a double cnln Is
to be pitied. She loses her opportuni-
ties. She cannot wear pretty gown,
for the neck is ruined. She cannot
sing, she is sight when she talks.
"If you have double chin and want
to get rid of 1t, begin at once
"If I had two chins l would take
neck exercises. 1 would try the Par
isian neck movements.

is dipped away forward. Backward

ed back she was feeling that all was
not as black as it was painted; and
when she arrived at her own door she
was as confident that Gods in His
heaven, alls right with the world as
she could be.
Il have known a new gown to make
the most disconsolate Mrs. Gummldge
cheer up and take an interest in life;
have known a new hat to get an al
most hopeless invalid out of bed and
on her feet when her family had long
since given up all hope of her recov-
cry. The effect of good clothes on the
self-respect can not be overestimated.
Neither can it on the spirits.
Perhaps some PSYCHOLOGIST viii
arise some day to tell us why these
things are true. 1 can't explain them,
but true they are for sure, and any
woman can bear testimony that the
effect of good clothes is more than an
outward and visible one-it is far more,
it is an inward and spiritually bolster
ing-up one."

A BIT OF DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

There's a mint of money waiting for
the manor the woman--who will in

aid, that won't wear out" said the
man with an economical turn OF mind.

socks every time my toes poke hole
through a sock. and hate to have
my wife spend most of her time darn

friend. ''for I've got no wife to darn

MEDICINAL VALUE
OF VEGETABLES.

Some physical culturists, says the
Brooklyn Eagle, claim that vegeta-
rian and fruit diet produces an ex-
cellent complexion. However true that
man be it is certain that in the food
products of earth and tree are many
whose medicinal value cannot be too
highly estimated.
For instance, spinach and dandelion
are good for kidney troubles; celery is
good for those suffering from rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, disease of the nerves
and nervous dyspepsia: lettuce and
cucumbers cool the system, and the
former is good for insomnia.
To produce perspiration and relieve
the system of impurities try aspara-
gus.
Tomatoes contain vegetable calomel
and are good for liver troubles, and
strawberries make a good complexion.
There is nothing, incidentally
nervous prostration as the hum
BILE onion. 1t is almost the
best nervine known, and may be used
in coughs, colds and influenza; in con-
sumption, scurvy, hydrophobia, gravel
and kindred diseases.
White onions overcome sleeplessness
while red onions are an excellent diure-
tic Eaten every day, they soon have
a whitening effect upon the complex
ion.
For malaria and erysipealas nothing
is better than eranberries, while black
berries are useful in all cases of diar-
rhea.
Lemon juice with sugar and the
beaten white of egg, may be used to
relieve hoarseness.
Figs are valuable as a food to those

To the Mayor and Council.

The proposition made to your honor
able body Monday evening to purchase
from the town the timber standing
around one of the reservoirs should not
be en:el tanned.
1t is needed where it stands as shade
for the towns water storage-a reason
in itself all-sufficient to determine your
action negatively.
To cut that timber out of its environ
ment is to invite a concentration of sun
heat that will inevitably vitiate in more
or less degree the quality of the water
which comes directly therefrom into the
peoples domestic use.
Hence, it is worth intellectually more
where it stands than if cut away and
sold.
Don't sell stick, big or little, of it.

The Holy City.

The Erie (Pa.) Dispatch of October
Is, 1904, commends the great New Testa-
ment play in the following terms:
THE Holy City" powerful dramatic
story of Old Jerusalem, was presented at
the Majestic last evening to a large and
very well pleased audience.
"Marius," as portrayed by Clyde B. CALI
cote, was all that could be desired
Raymond Gilbert as John, the Baptist,
delivered his lines in a mastery manner.
Isabella Winloche as Elizabeth mother
of John, did some of the finest work that
has been seen in this city and is deserving of
great praise.
Orris ODER as 'Salome," gave evidence of
great talent, and her dance before 'Herod''
won great applause.
Amelia Mayborn as "Herodias' was
talented, and her work gave evidence of
careful study of the role.
The Holy City is one of the finest pro-
ductions that has been seen in this city, and
is deserving of the greatest praise. The
play was beautifully staged.
Rev. Otto Brant, of Mt. Pleasant,
Pa, unreservedly approves the play and
says those who cry for the elevation of
the stage may further their desires by
giving encouragement to this most
worthy example of powerful and digni-
fled drama"

witnessed Sunday evening, last, the
Elk's annual public ceremonial attesting
respect for the memories of their dead.
The Frostburg Opera House stage was
splendidly set with potted plants and a
huge, long-antlered elk's head over
looked the scene.
The program went through nicely as
projected by the committee. The music
instrumental and vocal. was excellent.
The address of Hon. Charles r. Schirm
however, was the predominant number
the best of its class ever delivered here.
1t was well conceived, finely constructed,
and gracefully delivered. With one ac-
cord the audience pronounced it superb
effort.
Mr. Schirm is handsome-an endow
ment which never fails to caprivate the
ladies; he is intellectual and cultivated
native and acquired qualities which at
tract even prosaic men. Hence, he
made himself universally popular here.
