BRIEFS TO THINK ABOUT.

The child they say is father of the.
man. But the child has no business
to be the tyrant of the man. There is
no more foolish assumption than that
child may do everything that a man
may do. The first lesson for a child to
learn is that of unquestioning ODE
Gjences 1t will learn the reas on for it
later on. r
The tiger isaa thirsty animal with
powerful antl-prombition procliYities,
at least the Tammany Tiger is. The
IammarY delegates from New York to
Denver took for consumption enroute
over Z, $50 pints of champagne, IS tons
OF ice, and over 80, 900 bottles of beer.
not to mention 1850 cigars. The
knowledge that it had to swallow BRYAN
no doubt led the Tammany Tiger to
drink. The delegates took 500, 900 with
them to cover expenses. They meant
going some.
The two most dangerous classes in
any community are those of the idle
rich and of the disconnected poor. Of
these, that of the idle rich is infinitely
the more dangerous, 1t is the cause
of the decay of empires and it is the
cause of the positive cures and doubt
fnl blessings of revolutions. 1t is a
class to be pitied rather than envied.
The eternal pursuit of pleasure sati-
stes, but does not satisfy. No greater
benefit could be conferred on the idle
rich than to compel them to work, for
in reasonable work combined with
reasonable relaxation is to be found as
much happiness as is compatible with
the limitations imposed by life itself.

HER SIMPLE LIFE,

Never have the benefits of the

albeit unwittingly = demonstrated
than by a poor widow lacemaker at
Rapallo, on the Italian Riviera near
Genoa. Known popularly as LA Cat
erina del Cent" Ami (Hundred-Yea
Old Catherine), the old lady in ques-
ton, who is quite local character,
was commonly supposed to have COM
pleted her century long ago, but a
search of the baptismal registers has
established the fact that she was born
in December, 1907.
Her one hundredth birthday took
the character Of a public celebration.
La Caterina's jubilee is a unique
event, inasmuch as she has earned
her scanty living as lacemaker for
exactly ninety years, her average
daily net profits amounting to fifteen
centesimi, or three cents. Her meals
are necessarily of the simplest, con-
sisting as they do of salad of herbs
which she herself gathers in the
fields, a piece of bread and now and
then an orange. Meat is luxury
she has not been able to afford often
er than once year.
After forty years of married life
she was left widow, and since then
she has lived in little room which
Is never heated, although the tramon-
tame sometimes bites shrewdly. A
fire in room, she declares, makes

ing physical and mental vigor. She

sees no reason why she should not

MERELY A POLITE FICTION.

The polite fiction obtains that mar
riages are made in heaven. This ro-
mantle viewpoint is particularly pop
ular in America, where it Is held to
be highly improper for parents to
make any move toward securing good
husbands for their daughters, and
linrnodest for girls to manifest any
Interest in the subject themselves.
The conventional theory is that the
matter is on the knees of the gods,
and that in due season husbands will
be provided like mama in the wilder
ness for the sustenance of the faith
full. Unfortunately this miracle does
not always come off for every woman.
The supply of mama gives out. There
are not enough husbands to go
around, and these are unevenly di-
vided. Some women get three or
four, while others get none, but
neither the old maids nor their par
snts realize that the reason that they
did not share in the dispensation was
their own fault, because they did not
put themselves, as old-fashioned
Methodlsts used to say, in an attitude
to receive the blessing. Dorothy

A New Engineering Feat.

In bridges and other structures of
iron or steel, it often happens that
some one of several parts in tension
does not support its share of the
load, and instead of the usual expen-
sive and troublesome plan of taking
down the parts and forging them in
blacksmith shop, Hasenkamp, a
German engineer, proposes making
the adjustments in lengths with the
structure intact. His plan is to use
thermit for heating the part in place.
This material, mixture of iron OK
ide and aluminium, is readily ignited,
and 1t burns with an intense heat,
which may reach 5000 degrees Fab
renheit, through the affinity of alu-
minum for the oxygen of the iron OK
ide. Clamps are fastened to the steel
part on each side of the spit to be
heated. These clamps are connected
by bolts, and when the right temper
ature is reached turning the nuts
shortens the steel permanently to the
extent desired. The operation, re-
quiring but few minutes, does not
interfere with traffic.

WORTH ON COLOR.

"I will not insult the intelligence
Of my audience by insisting upon the
now exploded theory that there are
certain colors exclusively dedicated
to the brunette, and others the sole
possession of the blonde" says
Worth, of Paris, in Harper's Bazaar.
when crude dyes only were obtain
able, 1t was perhaps necessary to say
to the dark woman, For you there
must exist only yellow and pale blue,
and to the blonde, "You must look
upon no other color save green and
light red
But now contemplate the nuances
of every dye; contemplate, too, the
changes that are run on the definition
brunette and blonde Besides, If
there is one point upon which women
are usually good judges for them
selves it is color.
while, however, roughly speak
ing, white is for everybody, mauve
for the very fair, blue for the bru-
nette and red for the blonde, l would
add that age should be circumspect
In decision as to color schemes.
With white, black, gray and purple
at her command, why should the
woman of sixty insist upon pink,
which is certain to make her appear
years and years older than she really
is?" s.,--.s

HOW TO SIT GRACEFULLY.

When sitting, says The Delineator,
be sure that your hips are never
brought farther forward than your
shoulders. The proper way is to get
your hips as far back as possible In
the chair and firmly settled there.
Then you can Imagine the upper part
Of your body stem, swaying as 1t

JUST GOSSIP.

Edith Wharton, when she wrote
'The House of Mirth," described a
large New Jersey country home,
where members of the smart set often
meet for weekend or fortnight visits.
This great manor house has stood for
a century or more, and probably will
be improved rather than harmed by
time in those days when "The House
