A Good Word for old Maids.
Washington Times.

Washington Times.
By little and little the age when
women marry is growing later
and later to the vast benefit of the
race. Old maids are merely women in
advance of the times, and, heretofore,
they have been martyrs to a senseless
prejudice.
The world is beginning to appreciate
the worth of its childless mothers, and
when it does it will place statue to
Venus Virgo on as high pedestal as
Venus Genitrix has ever occupied.
Next to mother love what affection
was ever so tender and disinterested as
that of the maiden aunt? Next to the
sweet companionship of wife what
comradeship is so dear as that of a
maiden cousin? Who is the gentlest of
nurses, the purest and safest of advis-
ers to the whole family? 1t is the
sweet-faced old lady who is mother to
all because she never had child to mar
row her affections.

The Dead of the Glacier.
London Chronicle.

London Chronicle,
Lady Florence Dixie's appeal to all
who may be visiting Zermatt this sum-
mer will intensity interest in the chance
that the Zmutt glacier may give up the
long lost body of her brother, Lord
Francis Douglas. Since the rope broke
on the return from the first ascent Of
the Matterhorn, just forty years ago,
and Mr.. Whymper and two guides
helpless saw the fall of Lord Francis,
two English companions and the third
guide, no trace of Lord Francis but one
sleeve has ever been found, though the
other bodies were at once recovered.
The portion of the glacier which may
have entombed him, however, will reach
the valley this year. Chamoix has
twice witnessed such late recoveries as
that now hoped for. The remains of
three guides overwhelmed by an
avalanche on Mont Blanc in 1920 reap
peared four miles lower in 1861, and
those of Captain Albright, an avalanche
victim of 1866, were similarly found in
1897.

Dogs as SmuggIers.

New York Press
A well-known traveller tells me:
Trained dogs are the most accomplished
of smugglers between France and Bel
GUM. They evade, with rich booty of
silks and wines and other valuable ''im-
pedimenta" neatly strapped to their
backs, the most lynx-eyed of officers.
They enter Thoroughly into the spirit
of the occasion, and seem to appreciate
the fact that theytake desperate chanch-
es, and that their lives are at stake.
They start off with precious burdens,
know by instinct where the lookouts are
posted, and make a wide detour. But
if they think yes, dogs think they
have been Spotted" they sneak under
some bushes and lie low for a whole
night, if need be, till the coast is clear;
then off they go like the wind till they
reach their destination.
These faithful and wary brutes are
rewarded by a friendly pat on the head
or a good big piece of bologna, or some
such delicacy so dear to the canine
heart, be he of high or low de-
gree. Similar smuggling, it is said,
goes on over the delectable ground of
Alsace and Lorraine from France to
Germany. and vice versa. Do not i'm
agine for moment that these dogs are
French poodles. Great Danes, New
foundlands and St. Demands are prin-
cipally used. Each will carry goods
valued at from 500 to $3.50. There
used to be great slaughter of them, as
a reward of 8 francs was given by the
customs authorization every one seized,

Masonic Presidents.

From Washington to Roosevelt the
great majority of presidents have been
members of the Masonic fraternity
Only one, John Quincy Adams. was
avowedly anti-Masonic, He came tc
the presidency during the days Of the
Morgan excitement, In the forepart Of
the last century, and he talked and
wrote against the order with all his
might for many years. His distin.
guished father, however. was an enthu.
siastic Mason and was buried with
Masonic honors. Andrew Jackson was
at one time grand master of the grand
lodge Of Tennessee. An informal poll
was made Of the two houses of con-
gress a few years ago by Washing
ton Mason, and 1t was discovered that
more than 81 per cent. Of the members
Of tho house were IN the order and
more than 80 per cent. of the members
Of the senate.-Washington Star.

The Enemies of Success.
London Answers.

London Answers.
Bright, Icheerful, hopeful thoughts
and a strong belief in ones own ability
to accomplish the thing undertaken are
friends that will insure success. The
ambitious person should learn as early
in life as possible to pick out the friends
and enimies of success, and in many
cases it will be found that the greatest
enemy resides within himself. Morbid
thoughts, for example, are infinitely
greater hindrances to success than OPP
position from outside, and no health, no
beauty, no harmony, no real success
can exist in the atmosphere of abnor-
NAL melancholy or morbid ideas. Over
come the enemies to success within
yourself and you will have done much
toward reaching the goal of your ambi-
ton.

Miss GouId's Charity.

The charities of Miss Helen Gould
amount to $500, 900 annually, and while
this amount seems small in comparison
to the great sums given away by Messrs.
Rockefeller and Carnegie, it must be
borne in mind that Miss Gould's dona-
tions are nearly all of personal nature.
1t is said by authorities on the subject
that Miss Gould contributes to more in
dividual charities than any other person
in the world. Through her secretary
more than So, 500, 900 has been distribut
ed to thousands of benefciaries. About
200 personal letters asking for help are
sent to her each day, but they are
thoroughly digested before Miss Gould
sees them, most of the applicants prov
ing unworthy. In one week requests
amounting to $1,6OO,OOO have been
made.

Slack In BltumlnoHs Coal Mines.
The Altoona Tribune.

The Altoona Tribune.
At the time the joint convention Of
miners and operators was held in this
city for the purpose of fixing the scale
for the coming year it was said by some
of the leading operators that unless the
miners were willing to accept Feduc-
ton there would be much idleness in the
district. We observe that couple of
officials of the miners organization
were in the city yesterday. They re"
port the men working on about half
time and ascribe the idleness to lack of
orders andla scarity of cars. The situa-
ton seems to confirm the wisdom of the
operators who claimed that the men
would make far more by accepting re-
duction than they would at the existing
rate.
