youth and of age. On their pages the
charms Of the maiden,
Standing with reluctant feet,
Where the brook and river meet,
vie with the serenity and wisdom Of
the spirit which has reached The last
Of life. for which the first was made"
But who has a good word, even in
prose, for middle age? The woman Of
forty, or approaching fifty Is unsung,
although we should surely miss her
sadly If she were absent from actual
life as she Is from the world of verse.
If middle age seems uninteresting to
the imagination, it is by no means I'M
desirable for the possessor Of it. A
womans real happiness often arrives
Just as she finds, from her mirror or
her calendar, that she is no longer
young On that fortunate day she is
emancipated from many tedious tasks
She need no longer dance, either liter
ally or metaphorically, when she is
weary. She need not distrust her judg-
ment for lack of experience. If she
wishes. she may array herself in vel
vet, because she Is old enough; yet
she is not required to abandon muslin,
since she is not too old. In fact, mid
die age is the halcyon day as regards
dress. for becomingness may be subSti-
tuted for modiShness, and the whole
realm of color and material is open to
her mature taste and good sense. The
girl may be unhappy unless she is call
ed handsome or lovely, or at least pref
ty. The middle-aged may be quite con-
tent with that genial adjective mice
looking" which almost any carefully
dressed woman may deserve. The most
precious possession Of middle life is
the sense Of having found oneself" A
clear vision Of her place, her friends
and herself should be the dover of the
woman of forty, be she plump or thin,
rich or poor, married or single. To be
middle-aged, to know the fact to re-
ioice in it, gives woman a large, fair
view-such as one may command from
lofty table-land, where the horizon
Is almost as wide as that from the
m0untaintop, while the air Is gentler,
the soil more fertile and the sunshine
more gracious May the years from
forty to fifty be as long as they are
happy and after f1fty-well, no TWEEN
tieth-century woman is ever over fifty.

A PLAGUE OF WHITE ANTS.
A Fortune Awaits Their Extermina-

A Fortune Awaits Their Extermtn"-
ton in Australia.
A fortune awaits the man who will
come to the aid of the people Of Aus
tralia with an effective plan to rid
the people of that country Of white
ants.
Not only are they an annoying pest
| but their destructiveness is costly
They have an especial taste for the
woodwork of houses, and the damage
they do reaches into astonishing fig
ures.
Before the white mans advent
houses were unknown. The a0orig
ines of the vast territory knew moth
ing of such structures, few sheets OF
bark composing the shelter they tenn
porarily required. But even then the
white ants abounded. They ate the
standing trees in the forest; they de
voured fallen branches they made nests
in logs and roots.
With civilization and house huild-
ing came new spheres for their activl-
ty. Wherever woodwork was 'lsed, in
city center or bush hut, the creature
had to be guarded against, and the Mt
most care and precaution were often flu
tile in the contest. Buildings have had
to be remodeled and sometimes taken
down because of the extent of The raw
ages. A building in the country, known
to be affected with white ants, becomes
practically unstable. Occasionally the
affected board or joist or several affect
ed ones are removed and sound timber
introduced, in the hope Of making good
the injury but rarely does such patch
ing avail.
The white ant is an unseen worker.

The astonishing abundance of flies
during the latter part of the summer is
accounted for by the estimate made bv
an eminent entomologist that the pro-
geny of a single house fly in the course
of one summer will number 2,OSO 800.
1t If were not for the innumerable enc
mics provided by nature for the de-
struction of the fly, the whole air
would be filled by the end of August
with swarms Of flies, which would rem
der life insupportable.

As no action was taken at that meeting towards placing on the board ports of the standard oil interests another drawn from the stock Intifnatlons found credence that the recent furry in the stotk to high price attitudes had been made the occasion for large reduction of these hold ings and of those of inside interests. rather than for an increase The prominent place advertised Lawson campaign made it's sx- ample influential In raising fears of similar conditions to De met in other stocks The weakness was aggravated by rumors of some of the iarssr producers at conces- slons- These large producers made a mys- tery of their selling prices so far. as gem reports of quotations from their selling agencies is obtainable.
 Ths American Smelling episode undoubt- edly has an influence In It's suggestion that many things had been granted as to the progress of improvement by those who had been speeulating on the long side of stocks. The July net earnings reports of railroads coming to hand and those of gross fngs for the later weeks of August indicate slender foundation for the more sanguine estimates of the rate of improvement. The same Is true of the returns from the iron and steel trade. where the revival is going steadily, but admittedly slowly On the side of the crops 1t is realized that some revision of the most hopeful estI- mates must be made, although contentment wit hthe final promise IS still the rule. Deterioration has been sufficient. however. to suggest a pause in stock speculation based on earlier estimates This consiS- eration was reinforced by the signs of un- easiness in the corn market over the re- ports of light frosts
