AGE NOT A PERIOD OF GLOOM.

With most advancing lives, says a
writer in the New York Evening Post,
there comes pause, as "threescore
years and ten round out the time we
are wont to speak of as the measure
of ordinary human activity. There is
a Surcease from works which carry
us into the market places of the world,
q withdrawal from the thronged and
hurried gatherings of crowds. The
sheltered lives of such as attain their
maturity without loss of mental vigor
are somewhat like the isles of safe
ty' set up in the congested highways
of great cities. The younger people
go to them to take a view of the COM
pick dangers of the road and grow
tranquil under their undisturbed pro-
lection.
1t is quite unnecessary that
age should be period of
sadness and gloom; the safe
passage through the many storms
and struggles of life gives
courage, as an experienced captain
learns to regard the coming of a gale
at sea. How many times has his good
ship ridden the tumultuous waves in
safety; what moments of critical and
appalling danger have been endured
with bated breath and silent awe,
which are now but memories of won
derful deliverance!
How often a young wife or mother
has gone in an agony of fear to seek
counsel of her who had brought her
into this world of combat and met
the sweet serenity of face of her who
had conquered in many strifes and
seen the joyful end of many trials?
There is something almost superhu-
man in the soothing touch of an aged
mothers hand, as it strokes the ruff
fed locks of a daughters hair. while
she speaks in that tone of mingled
hope and assurance only possible to
one who has found behind many a
cloud a sun still shining.
There is lovely sympathy between
the grandparents and their grandchil-
dren. She of the seventh decade has
ceased to expect perfection-has found
out the mystery of individual develop
ment and tested the futility Of model
ling a child's nature according to
pattern-has seen fractions youth be-
come tender and patient, and strong
to resist in manhood-she listens, she
comnrehends, she does not irritate by
resistance before she has heard the
facts in the case. She knows already.

WHAT GIRLS CAN DO.

Il am only a girl. What can I dor
is the exclamation, says the Indian
apolis News, one frequently hears
when some fair young creature is
urged to bestir herself and accomplish
some good for those about her. 1t is
such girls as these who fail to realize
that it is the girl who does things in
this world who is attractive, both to
men and to her own sex, which last
counts a little, too. in the long run.
You may not be able to do great
things, to paint great pictures or to
sing in grand opera, but you can learn
to make bright little things for your
self and your friends. and perhaps to
play the light. catchy airs of the
day so that your friends will enjoy
them, and if you can't do anything else
cultivate the art of talking brightly

BALLADE OF THE GIRLS.

Who would not pause to drink a toast,
To pledge the health of niaidens
fair,
While thinking still of her who most
Excels iii wit and beauty rare?
Who would not thus one moment
spare
For lovers devoir, while onward rolls
The world, with all its sordid care?-
A health, / say, to lovely girls.
What man of us is too engrossed,
Too busted with the worlds affair
An instant to desert his post
And drink to damsels debonair?
Nor need he fear lest he forswear
Himself in pledging flaxen hair
If she he loves have raven hair
health, I say, to lovely girls!
And so this glass to beauty's host!
A pledge in which we all may share,
'Tis only thus that we may boast
The smiles of her without compare,
The one for whom we each would
dare
And die the death amid the swirls
OF lannon's smoke and battles flare
A health, l say, to lovely girls!

GIRL WHO STOLE WAR MAPS.

All Japan is ringing with the daring
exploit of Miss Ando Yoshi, which the
authorities have just permitted to be
known.
Her name is on everybodys lips. She
is being cheered by the students and
merchants in torchlight professions
and by the boys waging the war game
in the temple grounds almost as much
as Admirals Togo and Uriu. Moreover.
she has been highly commended by the
Mikado, and in all probability will re-

and of being sympathetic.

and of being sympathetic.
Every girl can do one thing we'll if
she will only take the trouble to find
out what that thing is. The difficulty
is that she often looks in the opposite
direction; she wants to do something
great and snowy or nothing at all.
But there are other talents within
reach if she will only look, and these
talents may be such a comfort to her
in her dark hours that they will make
life better and happier both for her
and those about her.
How the world likes a cheerful,
plucky girl who makes a brave fight
and hides her skeleton in a closet in
stead of folding her hands and whin-
ing because things don't come her
way; the girl who puts her own griefs
as much as possible aside--who takes
a wholesome interest in life.

W0MAN'S WIT.

SECRET OF ROYAL BEAUTY.

When the beautiful and much loved
Josephine Beauharnais became the
wife of Napoleon. says the New York
Mail and Express, she took with her
from Martinique a noted botanist and
chemist who had spent several years
on that island studying the fora and
experimenting with the perfumes and
essential oils of the luxurious tropi-
cal vegetation. Always a great lover
of fine odors and toilet accessories, she
fitted up for this man a private labor
atory at Malmaison, where he applied
his skill in the preparation of per-
fumes and toilet articles for the special

of view, all artists have agreed that
there is no place to equal La Frette.
To the left of the village is the park
of Maisons Lafiitte, and facing the
park is Cartrouville while opposite
lies the forest of st. Germain in all
its splendor. To the right is Herblay,
quite an important place, whose
church is visible for miles along the
Seine. La Frette itself has the quaint
est villagers possible Many of them
speak worse French than those of
the Midi. and II is an event when one
makes journey to the capital. They
are thriftiest of the thrifty. Only a
short time ago one of the peasants
gave his daughter 100000 francs on
her wedding day, and another is to re-
ceive the same amount on her ap-
preaching marriage. And yet this
man, who must be worth 100000 or
100000 francs, lives in a patched-up
house and digs in the fields from early
morning till late at night.

Quaint French Town

1t seems hardly credible that not
more than thirty minutes from the
noise and hustle of Paris there lies a
village that is so quiet, so peaceful,
and so old fashioned that one would
imagine ones self at Yeast hundred
miles away from the gay capital. Here
at this village, La Frette by name, and
about fifteen minutes walk from Cor
meilles, preparations for midday and
evening repasts have to be made very
early in the morning, for no such thing
as a cafe is near, and the walk to Cor
meilles is one which one considers
twice before taking, for 1t is up steep
and rough roads. So daily, butcher,
baker and green grocer pass this
quaint place, and the villagers gather
about the tradesmen and make their
purchases.
They also buy clothes in this man
ner, and may often be seen trying on
bonnets, dresses and boots In the mid.

went away together full of youths
enthusiasm and anticipation They
took the road to the river. and to the
sound of music and the falling and
dipping of the oars they reached
Richmond and soon spread the con
tents of their hampers upon the grass
under some great oaks in the seclud-
ed park.
After a happy, leisurely meal, they
spent the rest of their holiday in wan
dering through the palace until its
melancholy, monastic grandeur sub
dued them almost to silence
1t was like passing from death

into the light and glory of the west

AS Our Savior Looked

In the vatican, at Rome, is carefully
preserved an epistle to the senate and
people of Rome. written by Publius
Lentulius, who was ruler in Judea
about the time OF Christ. The docu-
ment reads as follows: There APP
peared in these our days a man of
great virtue, named Jesus Christ, who
is yet living amongst us. and by the
Gentiles is accepted for prophet of
truth, but His own disciples call Him
the Son of God He raiseth the dead
and cureth all manner of diseases. A
Man of stature somewhat tall and

tenance, such as beholders may both

hair, after the manner of the Nazar-
ties; his forehead very plain and
smooth, His face without a spot or
wrinkle, beautiful with a comely red;
His nose and mouth so formed as
nothing can be reprehended; His
beard somewhat thick, agreeable in
color to the hair of His head, not of
any great length, in the midst of an
innocent and mature look; His eyes
grey, clear and quick. In reproving
He is terrible, in admonishing cour-
teous and fair spoken pleasant in
speech mixed with gravity It can
not be remembered that any have
ever seen Him laugh, but many have
seen Him weep. In proportion of body,
well shaped and straight; His hands
and arms right and delectable to be-
hold; in speaking, very temperate,
modest, and wise-a Man for singu-
lar beauty surprising the children Of

guard OF soldiers, was In attendance.
He then entered lofty royalty
furnished room, where the council
were waiting his arrival-officers of
the army, and members of Parlia-
ment.
Cromwell opened the discussion by
reminding the members that he had
already held more than a dozen meet
ings, in order to induce Parliament to
issue an Act for the election of a new
Parliament, and then discharge itself.
This is what the people want in
every corner of the nation" he said,

ment had determined to dissolve on
the Sd of the ensuing November,
after calling for new election.

answered Cromwell, sharply. GIVE
