For Happiness in Marriaue.

] have spoken of the only true and
right motive for marriage, and ven
ture my opinion that marriage should
not be too eagerly sought by either
sex, but rather waited for until the
certainty has come that one loves
worthily and well. ! mean, that for
man to say to himself. In cold blood,
that IL is time he should marry. and,
for that reason, TO look about for a
wife-instead of being aware that he
loves and therefore desires to marry
the one beloved woman--is, to my
thinking. as unwise and in almost as
poor taste as for girl to discover that
it Is time she were settled in life and,
in consequence, set about trying to
attract husband. In neither case is
happiness in marriage likely to be the
result Of such quest.-Louise Chand'
Ter Moulton.

Out Of the Schoolroom.

A schoolboy was asked to give some
information in regard to the Cary sis
tiers, the once famous New England
poets, and he said OF them: THE Cary
sisters were two poets who lived In
Massachusetts most OF the time. They
went to New York where they made
many fast friends. Their fastest
friend was John G. Whittier" At the
time of the Longfellow centennial,
when the school children were writ
ing so much about him, one boy
wrote: 'Longfelow's poems were
mostly of his own composure, but he
wrote Tails of a Wayside Inn where
others did the talking. He was the
poet lorryett of our talking He was
the poet lirryett of our country and
was a crackerjack when It came to
real poetry. '-Lippincott's.

POWER OF THE RoTHscHILps.

says writer in the Grand Magazine,
Of London, England The imagination
is staggered and fails to realize the
power which is represented by such
figures. Ii could finance, or It could
stop, war; 1t could delay the indus

hand, enable country which 1t ia

TOOK HIS OWN FROM RoeeER
How Pilgrim Got Back His Stolen
Purse In Church.

From Czenstochowa, the Mecca OF
Polish pilgrims, comes an amazing
story of condolences. A pilgrim went
to one of the priests and complained
that some thief had stolen his purse
while he was in church, and asked for
money. The priest replied that he
had no money and that the best thing
for the pilgrim to do was to try to
find the thief II shall go into the
church and steal money from some
body else" said the pilgrim, for l
have nothing to go home with" He
went into the church and seeing a
man In the crowd with wallet on his
back slipped his hand into 1t and
pulled out his own stolen purse, with
the exact sum he had left in 1t. He
was so glad to find his money that he
hurried off to tell the priest and the
thief got away.

The Face and the Emotions.

Habitual worry shows itself in the
action of the facial nerve--the nerve
Of expression, as anatomists call it
producing lines which in course of
time become permanent. The same
is true of many other emotions and
states Of mind; and those which are
dominant in the life of the indl yidual
will ere long produce permanent
changes in the face. The secret of the
beauty which age cannot wither is TO
possess beautiful mind chin-straps
and depilatories and electricity and
massage and cosmetics are poor make.

Ahearn was at the theater last night
when the news of his removal from
the Office Of president of Manhattan
borough by Governor Hughes was re-
ceived here, and he could not be reach
ed. There is much speculation In po-
litical circles as to the successor OF
Mr.. Ahearn, who has been identified
with Charles r. Murphy, leader OF
Tammany Hall, in the fight against
Mayor Mcclellan. 1t was stated that
the board of aldermen would likely
choose former Corporation Counsel
William Ellison borough president.
Mr.. Ellison was removed by Mayor
Mcclellan from the office Of corpora

Nerve

Everything depends upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
: that causes the brain to direct
the motion OF your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; 1t
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, so
