The Refrcxhment of Change.

A charming old lady who was social ly inclined, but who was kept rather closely at home by the pressure of many cares, used sometimes to ex- claim q do just love to drink out of somebody else's teacups!"
 A fitting pendant to this agreeable anecdote is another of little girl whose supper invariably consisted of bread and butter, milk and apple sauce "a monotonous diet, of which she ire quently complained.
 One day she was asked out to sup per al neighbours. At late hour the hostess found that no apple sauce had been prepared for the little guest, SC she sent one of the maids to the child's home for supply.
 The little girl, on returning to her mother, was enthusiastic about the de- lightful visit, and particularly about the beautiful supper" when she had been allowed to pour milk and cream for herself from the daintiest little pitchers.
 ''"And oh, such good apple sauce, man. ma, the best ever tasted!"

WOMEN RULE THIS COUNTRY.
Stamp of the Feminine Mind Seen
 on EyerythinK American.


 on Everything American. Q
 In the United States there are at least 1,OO0,O0O more men than women and only one-tenth of the women are at work outside of their own homess Yet the stamp of the feminine mind is upon everything American and in m'rhy of the higher phases of culture women take the initiative.
 This rule of women in the United States begins in our public schools where boys and girls are educated to- gether and where the teacher is all ways, in the lower grades at least, a woman. In the great cities the femin- inc influence goes into every nook and cranny of social development. A wom- an has been suggested as Mayor of Chicago and the "civic creed of Chi cago was composed by woman and is recited every day by thousands of school children.
 Women compose very largely the reading public and no current novel can succeed without their patronage. Some of the most successful magazines are devoted to their interest exclusive ly and those given to scientific and philosophic discussions seldom exist long or they become the organs of small and detached organizations of men.
 Art exhibits are conducted by wom. en and women hold executive officials in worlds fair committees. They serve as chairmen of school boards and they torment, through their municipal leagues, the party leaders. They are notable as charity workers and they have made regulations as doctors, law yers, magazine editors, newspaper re- porters, preachers, political speakers and labor organizers and agitators. h. deed, where in the United States do we not find the woman with her inf1u- ence, battering at all doors ?-World's Work.

Lffe's Prime Is at Forty.

The larger part o. t..e great fortunes of this country have been accumulated after their amassers have passed 40. In fact, the first forty years of mans life are the preparatory years-the years of training and discipline. A large part of this time he is laying the foundation-just getting ready to rear the superstructure. Many of us stum- ble around many years before we get into the right place and then for addi- tional years we make many mistakes. Most men do not get wise until they have passed 40. They may get knowl- edge before this, but not much wisdom. Wisdom is a ripening process. It takes time.
 At the age when Dr. Osler thinks men are becoming useless Lincoln was trying to get an appointment as land commissioner and failed. At the same age nobody outside of his own little community knew Ulysses s. Grant. He had not then accomplished anything of note, and yet he became the greatest military figure of his day.
 Every man makes his own deadline. Some reach it at 35, some at 40, some at 90; some do not reach it at so, some never reach it, because they never cease to grow.-O. s. Warden, in Success

Dean Shalcr.

Few men at Harvard have had more influence with the students there than Dean Nathaniel S. Shaler, geologist, of the Lawrence Scientific School, who died recently. Some years ago an ir- reverent volume of skits of college pro- fessors was published by some under graduates and entitled Harvard Celeb. rities." This is what it had to say of him:
 This is Shaler,

Samples Mined on Earth Only Frag-
 ments of Immense MeteOrites.
 The only real perfect diamonds which are to be found on this globe are those which fall from the sky in meteorites; all diamonds (Which are mined in the diamond fields of the world are only fragments of gems.
 That is startling statement, but still more startling one is that all the diamonds to be found on this planet have fallen on the earth from the skies and have not, as most persons sup pose, been produced here like coal and other mineral products.
 Yet this is the latest scientific asser- ton with regard to the worlds stock O: the precious stones. The whole stock of the Kimberly mines, with their un- known resources, and all the gems of this character to be found in any part of the planet-all have fallen from space at some time or other.
 Somewhere in the illimitable distance there is q vast diamond factory, the only place where perfect gems are pro duced. The first piece of evidence is that the whole of the rock in which tine Kimberly gems are found is similar to nothing else on earth; it has been given distinguishing name (kimberly) ana if corresponds exactly with the matter of which meteorites are composed
 In plain language the whole of that vast mass of rock fell on earth from the skies at some late period of the worlds formation. This is rather staggering but 1t must be remembered that there Is mountain in Arizona which is ac- knowledged by all scientists to be q meteoric mountain. And diamonds are being found at that spot.
 Diamonds are found practically in superficial layers of the earth's crust; that is another proof of their celestial origin. Further, the diamond crystals are formed like no others that are of earthly origin; this is regarded as q strong proof that they fell from above lt is curious that earthly diamonds are hot perfect and that some of them when first brought from Kimberly mines and exposed to the air explode and crack into several pieces. Now the stones which come down in mcteorites also eX plode when they are taken from the protecting mass which covers them completely: This is due to the peculiar conditions which prevail where the stones are produced and these condi- tions cannot prevail on the earth as the oxygen prevents them.
 In order to make diamond 1t Is necessary that the constituents should he very hot and then cooled quite sud. denly; nothing else will account for the peculiar shape of the crystals and the general formation of the gem.

 The old-fashioned mahogany desk whsi insufficient ground for q family quarrel, but it threatened to bring ahMlt one when Aunt Anne died with. out will. Her two nieces, Eunice and Caroline, each fancied the desk. It was -the only valuable piece of fur niture in the house. Moreover its claw feet and brass knobs, its pigconholes and secret drawer had the pleasantest of associations for the girls, who had played in Aunt Annes sitting-room all through their childhood.
 Eunice was sure Aunt Anne would have wanted her to have the desk be- cause she was the older. Caroline was equally sure that Aunt Anne would have given it to her, since she was named Caroline Anne. The sisters dis cussed the matter for month with steadily increasing bitterness, and final ly, while Caroline was out of town for a day. Eunice bore off the desk to her own house. There she began to eX-
 
 plore its contents.
 It was stuffed with all sorts of things, from recipes for cake and jelly to obituary notices and the family cof- fin-plates. In the secret drawer--that wonder of childhood's days-she came upon a note on tiny yellow sheet of paper, written in childish scrawl. She touched it with thrill of surprise. It was in her own hand. In flash its history came to her.
 Caroline had once gone to visit Aunt Anne, and had there been seized with scarlet fever. For weeks Eunice had not been allowed to see her little sis ter. Both had been nearly heart-bro- ken over the separation. In the midst of it Eunice had written this note, and dispatched it with bulky parcel to Aunt Anne's house. Now she read her own childish words:
 Dear Sister Caroline. I am so glad you are better from the fever. I hope to see you soon. Please take my doll Blanche. don't care if sine does have to be burnt up afterward. She is the dearest I have, and had rather you had her than me. Your loving sister
 EUNICE.
 Argument could not have persuaded Eunice to give up the desk, but the warm, loving words from her own TO- year-old heart broke down the barriers of selfishness. With burst of tears she came to herself
 When, the next day, an congressman left the desk at Caroline's door, she found in it the briefest of notes. It ran:
 Dear Caroline. I send you Aunt Annes desk. had rather you had it than me.
 Your loving sister, EUNICE.
 Caroline never quite understood "what came over Eunice"-nor did she chance to notice the queer grammar of the note. But one who knew the story might well revise the usual judgment that childhood is selfish, and that mid dle age always betters it in sacrifice for the good of others, and might say with Wordsworth, Heaven lies about us in our infancy."-YOuth's Companion.

Costly Error of Hilley Did the Business for Locals--Fine Pitching Exhibition by

 Rarely has a finer exhibition of pitching been witnessed on any ball field than that of young Maxwell yes-- terday. With dazzling speed ho made the Atlanta batters resembled so many puppets. Completely at his mercy, elev- en of them struck out. His control was marvelously perfect, only one base on balls being given in the eleven in- nings. Until the eleventh inning only four hits had been made of him. one each in the first, second, fifth and eighth. Never during tho game were the Atlanta batters able to get more than one hit an inning until the elev- enth. That costly error of Hilley's seemed to take all the nerve a nd heart and life out of him as well as out of the entire team behind him
 For the first time during the eleven innings two hits came together behind the error. putting over two runs and losing the game hopelessly.
