If I Knew Everything.

If knew everything fear

 And ponder any more. I'd find my answers ready made
 I'd know them in advance, And life would be too dull for me
 Without the charm of chance. I could not read story then

 guile
 With many a precious thrill. I'd know it's ending from the start,
 The same as women do, Who, when they read a book, proceed
 To scan it wrong end to. Tn wooing I should know just what
 Her answer was to be; TwOuld seem, alas! as tedious as
 A twice told tale to me. I could not ponder if she'd say,
 Yes, yours through veal and woe!' Or with sigh inform me, T
 Will be your sister, though" If I knew everything-but, pshaw! I don't, so what's the good Of thinking SO? But this know, wouldn't if I could. I much prefer to live along, Pleased, puzzled and perplexed, i Mid hope and doubt, to guess about What's going to happen next. Nixon Waterman in Llte.

papers and. books, and make sure that gets hold of the secrets they ?"the representative was asked.
 '.In the first place, they are not al- lowed to pass through many hands, came the answer: and. secondly, great precautions are taken to prevent the wOrkmen meddling with the papers.
 When we receive an order from company to destroy its confidential pa- pers-waste which contains, in some cases, thousands of valuable secrets we send men with large bags. The bindings are ripped off tine books on the company's premises, their pages hurriedly torn asunder, so that the men have no opportunity to glean any information from them, and then thrust into the bags with other waste paper.
 Previous to the bags being sealed, the men engaged on the task are search ed, to see that they have not concealed about them any of the pages The com pany which intrusts us with the work are requested to send a representative to see that the work is efficiently car ried out in accordance with our guar antee.
 ''As soon as the bags arrive at our works the manager takes charge of them. They are placed beside a huge vat containing very strong chemicals the seals are broken and the contents l elnptied. In short time the solution eats away all ink from the paper, ,wbicf is very quickly reduced to pulp. So you see, there is not much chance fol iany one obtaining a secret from tho waste paper, but We take no risks. w lnot only thoroughly search our em ployees, but we engage an expert off thu premises, whose duty is to test thu honesty of our own workpeople, to re port any 1eakages' and to advise u as to any failure in our system. Hi

 success of our business.

abolishing old age. Unlike many writ ten laws. it is being enforced. Where is the venerable grandmother who used, in black dress and black cap. to sit in the chimney corner knitting the children's stockings? Arrayed in beautiful pea-green silk gown and lowered hat, her gray hair done Tn naughty p0mpadour, she is out helping receive at a fashionable function or at- tending the latest musical comedy at the theater. Where is the lean and slippered pantaloon" who used to spend the long days. "spectacles on nose and pouch on side" stunning him self on the front porch or hobbiing about the house and yard on a cane! He is down at the office or store work ing as energetically and anbitiously as he did twenty years ago, or out at the ball game cheering as Justify as the
 most vociferous small boy on the bleacheTs.
 We have changed all this. A man is now young until he is forty-five and middle-aged the rest of his life. Spins ters don't become old maids any more. They are girls until thirty-five, when they become bachelor maids. Married | women are young until forty, after which, like their husbands after forty five, they enjoy perennial middle age There may be persons scattered here
 and there who regard themselves as 1 old and will submit to be banished, as 1 the aged of past generations were, from business, amusements and soeie- ty, but if there be any such their num-
 Der is small and they are all well past the Biblical tfreescore and ten mark. Professor shaler, of Harvard, re- l gards the abolition of old age as a
 sign of progress. Brutes and savagesr
 as he points out, either kill their super
 annuates or leave them to starve. On
 rising from savagery to barbarian men set their aged as a class apart
 and revere them for their wisdom and
 dignity. It is mark of an advance in
 civilization when they are 'readoptet
 and go along with the business of life in the manner of other people. ."-Chi'

THE RUSSIAN UPHEATAL.

The Czar of all the Russias is fast finding out that he isn't very big man. He issues mandates and things, but his children don't seem to care much about his mandate and things. or have the kind of confidence in his fatherly quail ity that he would like to have them have. He has tried to make them think that he means to do well by them, and has done some good things that he didn't want to do in order to appease them. But they don't seem to appease. They want more, and many of them are saying they will have more.
 What the end of it all will be remains to be seen. The indications are that the Czar will have to give his dear chil- dren more rights than he has given them, and perhaps more than they will use well at first But freedom is good for any people, except, perhaps, the Ffl- ipinos, and in time it may be good for them. These are momentous days for Russia, which is changing, or trying to change, from absolutism to a more modern and reasonable form of govern ment. Sooner or later she may change into a republic, and become as grand and impressive as her great and good friend the United States of America is

THE OBSTINATE TURK.

Turkey may be a pretty sick country,
 but it still has some strength. A cor respondent of an English journal, writing from Constantinople, analyses the motives which have impelled the Turkish authorities to oppose, so ob- stinately, the control of any part of the Macedonian finances by foreign ot- ficials. The Turks feel, he says, that this is a much more serious affair than the employment of foreign officers in the Turkish service to reorganize the gendarmerie. They fear that, if. once foreign Powers have their fingers on the. purse strings, it will not be long before the whole administration of Macedonia will be internationalized, and the precedent established in the three vilayets extended to the rest of the empire. These fearss are wide spread, and the Sultan is backed by nearly the whole body of officials and the bulk of the Mussulman population in resisting the demands of the Pow CTS. The corruption which is rife in all departments of the administration does not, he says, at all reconcile the people to the idea of foreign control
 The Turks, like other people, would rather be misgoverned by their owr

rulers than reformed by outsiders. Moreover, few of them believe in the sincerity or the disinterestedness of the Powers. among whom their heredi- tary enemies the Russians and Austri- ans are conspicuously active. At the same time, adds the correspondent the Turks would scarcely show so bold a face if they really believed that the Powers would enforce their demands. They have confidence that the unanim- ity of the Powers will disappear before it comes to the point of absolute coer- cion.

FIRM HAS STRANGE BUSINESS.

Destroys Confidential Ledgers and Pa-
 pers that Outsiders Should Not See.
 The confidential ledgers, papers and documents of large companies accu- mulate so rapidly that a means has to be found for their periodical destruc- ton. To hand them over to a waste paper dealer was out of the question up to quite recently, as there was no guarantee that the contents of the books would be kept secret, and the di- vulgence of some of the entries would have spelt ruin probably to a success full concern.
 Mary large firms in this country have | in the past tried to destroy their secret documents by fire, and spared no ex- pense to carry it out thoroughly. But | it has always been considered an un- satisfactory system, as instances have occurred repeatedly of undamaged leaves being found in the neighborhood, 1 having been carried up the chimney by a strong draught. In this way conf- dential secrets of the utmost privacy l have reached interruptions people, who 1 have sold them to the highest bidder.
 q have just paid few coppers for some old books, for which some people would give hundreds of pounds" said a representative of one of these "se- cret destroying" waste paper firms the other day. "They are only worth, a few pence to me, because l have given a guarantee that they shall be destroy ed without a single leaf being turned lover.
 "Of course we pay less for books and
 documents when we have to give such
 an undertaking; but, in any case, led.
 gers filled with writing are of less use
 to pulp makers than waste newspapers as they take longer to reduce to pulp
 and have to be handled by trustworthy
 workpeople." ~--. ..- --.4 ..e N How do you destroy these value

4 NEW PROBLEM.

These are thoughtful days and somebody has had time to think that squirrels can be pauperized as well as human beings. An official in Central Park. New York, who has watched the habits of it's birds and animals for many years, says that the gray squir- rels that are so common there no longer store nuts in hollow trees or other places as the wild squirrels dc Tn the woods. For generations the pets of the park have been so stuffed" by the children and fed by the city when the snow is deep in the winter that they no longer lay in any store of nuts. Even their nest building is much less careful and thorough than is that of the woods squirrel. Instead of snug winter home in the hollows of the trees or rocks, they are content with an Outdoor" sleeping place in the tree tops, built of leaves, grass, bits of paper, string, ribbons and anything suitable to this purpose found in the park. A ''buahy tail'' was once seen running for his nest in great glee with a child's fine handkerchief in his mouth.
 We don't know what can be done about this except to have an Organized Charity for the squirrels. It seems to be clear that they are living too easily at the expense of others and that they are in manifest danger of falling into habits that are not good squirrel hab- it's.

BUSY TIMES.

These are busy times, and even plants must be made to work overtime if they can be. So the Department of Agriculture Is having equipped a labo- ratory for the purpose of conducting experiments in the growing of plants by the aid of electricity. The experi- ments are based on the theory that the growth of vegetable matter, which ceases at sundown, will continue through the night if proper artificial light is supplied to stimulate the natur- al developing powers of plants. In some respects plants are the same as the hu- man race, according to an officer of the department. At night they go to sleep, the same as we do, and their growth ceases until the following day. The sun is their source of life, keeping their growing faculties working, and being the foundation of their natural development. It is with an idea of sup plying an artificial sun that these eX periments are being made. If it is found that the growth of plants can b< doubled at a nominal expense, and that they can be grown in winter the same aIs in summer, the agricultural industry will have received an unprecedented sti,o,,1,rs Scientific research has al
