INVISIBLE LAND OF OLD AGE
Country Which Is all About the Peo-
pie of the Earth.

The Land of Old Age is an invisible
country which is all about us. How
ever young you are, you have been
near it, and l should count you I'M
fortunate indeed if, in the heat of the
day, you had not turned into it's shady
by-paths and fingered a moment with
its quiet jewellers. 1t is a very peace
full land: there Is not much work
there to be done; duty is rarely seen
so seldom, in fact, that sometimes
those of us who have gone there to
live for good feel that we have passed
our time of usefulness and have mo-
ments of hot resentment that we are
not out in the world doing its work
for 1t. feel that way myself often,
and at such times make excursions
outside. Always the gentle hands OF
my children lead me back to my own
country; and / sometimes feel that
the reason we resist taking up our
places there is this sense that we are
not allowed to come out when we
wish, that we are kept prisoners-not
through our own weaknesses, but be-
cause there are certain conventions
as to what is suitable or unsuitable
for us old people.-Harper's Bazaar.

ITO ARREST the darkening OF . boys
Light hair, put half ounce of salts

& By all means let him sit In the sun.
"A healthy boy enjoys the sun, and ii
he is given to understand that he is
sitting in it in order to bleach his hair
the idea will fill him with rapture and
he will remain motionless for hours
at q stretch
II there is anything that a boy
should have for his own it is his hair
that and the freckles and scratches
and blisters and stone bruises which
he accumulates. His time he can't
have to himself, at least he couldn't in
the old days, because he lad to run
errands and do certain fixed stunts,
called "stints" or chores. But he
ought to have clear title to his hair
surely.
If he Is compelled to devote most
or even few of his waking hours to
processes whereby he may wear tiaxen
hair that will curl prettily, he may be-
come Thoughtful, attentive and per
fectly lovely" young man, who can
pass things at an afternoon reception
without spilling them; but heaven
help him!
The only thing a normal, energetic
boy asks to have done with his hair
Is to have it let alone when it isn't
being clipped close to his scalp. And
the talk about the first wash water!
1t might be supposed that the boy was
being put through three washings and
was to be rinsed, rough dried and
hung on line It's watchful moth

Earthquake In san Francisco

THE daily papers are filled with the
particulars of the great disaster that be-
fell San Francisco and the Pacific coast
in an earthquake that occurred at an
early hour Wednesday morning. A
large part of the business portion OF that
city has been destroyed either by the
tumbIing down of the buildings or a
fire which follows, the water supply be-
ing shut off, leaving the entire city at
the mercy of the flames.
It was exactly 5:15 o'clock Wednesday
morning that the city was tossed about
like feather by the wind. The earth
seemed to sink for moment and then
the buildings to rise in the air like a
balloon. Then there was sort of sink
ing-the like of which no mortal ever
experienced q second time. Then the
buildings of the town rocked and wob-
bled like frail thing in storm. There
were several shocks. The first and most
severe was followed by repeated quakes
and then at o'clock there was another
of considerable severity. Again late in
the afternoon buildings were shaken,
but the damage was not great. The
earthquake caused all water mains in

so rapidly that the local fire department
was unable to cope with the flames.
Probably 1000 people have been killed
and many thousands more injured. Eight
square miles of the city, including the
heart of the business center, have been
burned over The financial loss will be
at least SlO000O,000 and may be far
above this figure.
Since the settling of the Pacific coast
earthquakes have been carefully noted.
This has been especially true in late
years when the state university has made
an exact and systematic record of all
such disturbances. In San Francisco
alone, since the records have been kept,
a total of over 400 shocks have been
reached. OF these many were light, but
others were of serious nature. Two
have been of caliber to partially or to-
tally destroy buildings, and others that
have occurred within few miles of the
city, had they conferred nearer to San
Francieco, would have caused untold
damage.

Early Autograph Hunters.

A certain Atossa in early Roman days
seems to have been the mother of au-
tograph collectors. Cicero had a collec-
ton, which must have been a fine one,
for he speaks Of it with particular
pride. The fever, even in those far
back days, was contagious. Pliny
speaks of Pompeius Secundus, at
whose house he had seen autographs
of Cicero, Augustus, Virgil and the
Gracchi, and his own collection was
valued at $4,000 of our money. Then
came the thrush of barharians, and we
do not again meet with the collector
until the beginning of the sixteenth
century, when he reappears in the per-
son of Bohemian squire, who kept a
book to record his exploits in the chase
and enriched it with the signatures of
his great hunter friends.
