VANITY OF MEN.
Those who Are Growing Old Don't
Want to Admit It-Want to
show Agility.

They may talk of the vanity Of
women all they please" said a street.
car conductor of the Indiana avenue
line the other day to a New York Her
aid reporter, but 1 don't believe they
are any worse than men when it comes
to concealing their age. used to
think vanity a female trait A few
weeks on the car changed my mind,
when | found a man was willing to
take the chances of getting a bad fall
for the sake, if he was getting old. Of
trying TO make it appear he was still
spry on his feet Many an accident
for which the company has to pay
damages is caused by this masculine
vanity.
"A man gets up and put my hand
on the bell rope to stop the car. This
is, of course, in the crowded sections
of the city. where the car has TO go
slowly Well. sure as put my hand
on the rope, two out of hve of the
men whose joints are getting stiff with
age will look sharply at me as if iG
surprise that I should think they
needed to be stopped for. and say
raspingly: Needn't stop; III drop OF
all right They drop off, and some
times drop hard, too.
"Once when the car was moving
slowly past the post office a man who
was not day under 60, even II he was
well preserved, got up to get off I'm
a pretty good judge Of age, and ]
reached for the rope
What do you think I am. anyway
"a cripple? he asked.
No I answered. I'd take you for
a Yale student, of course
II gave the rope a good tug and the
look he gave me when he got OF at

any insinuation. though it might be
in ones line of duty, that he was not
as young as he used to be-"

GOOD INCOMES AS AGENTS.
Life Insurance Work n Profitable
Field for Women, Says Ono En-
thusiaHtic Feminine Solicitor.

Life insurance work offers a profita-
Bile field to women nowadays. If she be
bright and energetic she easily can real
lie an income of IS 90 year. Her COM
missions depend entirely on her own en-
deavors.
THE possibilities for women in the
life insurance are limitless," said one OF
the best known women workers. with
all the women that are working at II
now It still is practically unworked
field.
From my experience in the business
should say that It is the best possible
line for woman to enter She is abso-
lutely independent, and, best of all, she
knows she is making money Further.
more, she is able to lift herself out Of the
rut Of woman's occupNions in general.
I'm life insurance a woman has the
most broadening experience. She meets
all classes Of people In a short time she
develops new faculties. She learns TO
read human nature, which is the telling
part Of the business For her own benefit
should advise any young girl or woman
whose circumstances compel her to earn
her own living to grasp these excellent
opportunities.
"PaIeface."
DIR. Murray is now looking after his
p's and as, says the London Daily
Chronicle For the purposes of his
monumental dictionary he wants to
know the earliest use and accurate
origin of the word "paleface, familiar
to the countless readers OF American
Indian stories. 1t occurs frequently in
Fenimore Cooper's Last OF the No
hicans," published in 1926. aud that is
The earliest reference with which Or.
Murray is at present acquainted
Whether it is a translation Of a genu-
inc Indian word. or merely a convent
ent phrase invented by storytellelss
and placed in the mouths of the red
men, are points on which authoritative
information will doubtless be for l.
coming from the other side of the At
lantic. But at present we incline to the
belief that "palefaee" is an invention
of the uovelistS.

PAPER CoRKs.
The Problem OF Getting suitabIs
Shoppers for BOttIes-New Type
of COrkscrew Needed.

1t would seem a difficult matter to
provide an efficient substitute for cork
as stopper for bottles, so admirably
does this description OF bark fulfil the
purpose. says Chambers Journal. The
glass marble which is kept in position by
the pressure OF the gas in mineral wa
ter bottles answers the purpose OF cork,
but comes under a different category. II
it lad not been invented the demand for
the natural product would have posi-
bly, been greater than the supply. India
rubber corks are occasionally met with
in bottles containing chemical prepare
lions; but they are expensive luxuries.
The only cheap substitute for cork as a
bottle stopper is paper, but this has not
come Into extensive use. Paper cOrks
are not new, the first ones manufactured
having been made by running pulp into
moulds and afterwards drying the
"cOrks' so made, and dipping them into
paraffin wax or some preparation of the
kind to prevent absorption. A more re-
cent method is to roll the paper on a
rod like tirework case. afterwards cut
ting it into lengths, press 1t to form in a
mould. and finishing It with a wooden
core. 1t is said that these paper cOrks
are made in America, Japan and China
in large quantities; but they are GER
tainly seldom seen in Britain. They
would evidently require a new type Of
corkscrew to draw them from the neck
of q hottie
