FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIE w

A man who has reached the age he has
dreaded, but for which he wisely pre-
pared. is being succeeded by a younger
man. but one who can never serve his
employers more faithfully He is to de-
vote himself 10 a new business, not the
one in which he has grown gray, how
ever, so there IS much regret in the
change and some uncertainty.
His spare time has been put into the
study of farming and poultry raising
and his savings have been Invested in a
farm which ne has improved. bit by bit.
till the house is comfortable and the out
buildings in a fine state of repair. A
present outlay of money will be demand
ed for stock. and then he Is ready TO
earn living independent of employers
who gauge the period Of usefulness by
appearances.
This incident emphasizes my belief in
the necessity for preparing for the fu-
ture. When youth has departed, each
year marks a distinct lessening Of value
TO the average employer. Spare time
should be utilized in preparation for inde-
pendenee and not wasted on senseiess
pleasures which are forgotten in a month.
II you have n business Of your own ever
so humble. you are the sole arbiter of
your future: your days of usefulness are
only shortened by the lack of strength.
You can grow old at your ease IL you
keep abreast of the times and accept the
changes brought to business methods by
fresh brains and enthusiastic youth.
For a long time the farmers sat down
and saw themselves grow poorer each
year, because they would not accept the
new-fangied notions which amateur farm
ers found to be profitable. When the land
grew sterile they accepted it as the will
Of God, and Brought up their children to
the same doleful philosophy. So the sons
went TO cities to earn living, and farms
were abandoned or sold dirt cheap to
men and women who had learned some
thing Of fertilization and Of the advisa-
bility Of planting crops in suitable soil.
Now we have q new army OF farmers.
with some recruits from the old ranks
who were not too obstinate to be re-
formed
New ideas are valuable In any business,
and the man who invests his hard-earned
dollars in a venture is likely to use any
which he finds lying around. If he works
understandingly and persistently. he is
bound to succeed like the young milliner
who has lately started business for her
self without capital. She goes TO the
houses Of her patrons. looks over their
millinery scraps, plans hats, and goes
home and makes them, delivering them IA
person and making prompt changes where
they are desired. She charges what she
regards as a fair price for her work, and
that Is a bit under the usual rate There
is nothing 10 prevent her from making
more money than those who have the ex-
pense of maintaining a shop-and she is
independent. BETTY BRADEEN.

PSYCHOPATHIC WARD URGED.
Commissioners Ask Building for
Care of Suspected Insane.

A psychopathic pavilion is urged by the
Commissioners in a bill forwarded TO Con-
gress Tor immediate enactment The Com
missioners say tTFat people Of the District
for suspected Insanity are first detained
in the Washington Asylum Hospital
According TO the Commissioners, the
latter Institution has no facilities for such
responsible and delicate duty. The asso-
Citations at the Washington Asylum. the
authorities say. are Of a character 20
which the patients should not be exposed.
Many suspected insane, now sent 10 the
Government Hospital for the Insane, are
soon discharged as cured. but are, never
theIess. at the disadvantage Of having
been an inmate of an insane asylum, no
matter how slight or temporary the
mental condition involving their care and
treatment.
In the bill It is urged that under the
present conditions it is necessary that a
suitably equipped and located institution
be erected where such cases may be
kept for longer periods Of observation and
where their detention and treatmnt carry
no permanent reflection on their mental
status

Since the mines passed into the control
Of the Mitsuis. no expense has been
spared in providing the best and newest
appliances 10 develop the property and
make 1t one Of the great mining enter
prises of the world. There are several
seams of coal in the Mike field. but only
the first and second seams are capable
of being prohtably worked These mines
give employment 10 over 5000 miners and
workmen. and the coal is conveyed to
market by 200 sch0oneT-rigged barges
Aside from the coal mines. the Mitsuis
also own and operate silver, copper, lead,
and sulphur mines.
A noteworthy 1act about the Mtsui
family is that. notwithstanding its long
history. reaching back to the sixteenth
century, It has not taken on the crust of
conservatism, which characterizes so
many old business establishments. That
It is the head OF so many phases Of the
industrial life OF Japan. that it is the
foundation of the national credit at this
time, and that no japanese firm is so
we'll known in the outside world. proves
that its economical influence in Japan is
Of the first magnitude
But the interests of the Mitsuis are by
no means confined TO those industries
which are conducted under the family
name. The family owns stock to the
amount OF millions In other concerns
in Japan. and on account Of its prestige,
its voice is respectfully listened TO in
every Joint stock company in which It
has vote. Among these private con
Germs. which are really a part Of the
Mitsui foundation, are the Bank OF
Japan, the Yokohama Specie Bank, the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha, OF Japan Mail
Steamship Company, and other promi-
nent industrial corporations, such as cot
ton mills, paper mills, and sugar re-
hneries.
Second only to the imperial household
In influence, the Mitsui family cannot
be separated from the great questions of
world politics which center in China and
Japan, and which are now forging TO
the front II is certain that the voice
OF the Mitsuis will be always lifted
against war, but even they have little
influence in any other line than busi-
ness. On the other hand. It may be
the Mitsuis who will cause war, by
leading the aggressive commercial cam
paign which Japan is conducting in North
China. and which is already disturbing
the waters in the sea Of world diplomacy
