SECRET OF LONG LIFE.


We occasionally meet a woman
whose old age is as beautiful as the
bloom of youth. We wonder how it
has come about-what her secret is.
Here are 2 few Of the reasons:
She knew how to forget disagree
able things.
She kept her nerves well in hand
and inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art of saying
pleasant things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came to
her congenial.
She retained her illusions, and did
not believe all the world wicked and
unkind.
She relieved the miserable and
sympathized with the sorrowful.
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the discourag-
ed.
She did unto others as she would
be done by, and now that old age has
come to her and there is a halo of
white hair about her head she is low
ed and considered. That is the Sc
cret OF long life and happy one

Doc Wanted Roast ,Possum.

Rex B., a great Dane owned by F. A.
Mills. of 222 Upper Mountain avenue.
Montclair, is a dead dog because he
was tempted by the succulent odor Of
roast 'possum, and Mills is suing the
public service corporation Of New Jer-
sey for the value OF his dog, consid-
ering it negligent in leaving electric
frying pans lying around lose In the
public highways
This particular 'possum was asleep
in a tree in the avenue, when down
came an electric light wire in the
wind and short circuited its current
through the body of poor 'possum.
Postum lay in the low crotch Of tree
and Rex B., enticed by the odor,
jumped up to it. He was just about
to enjoy his feast when he came in
contact with the electric cooking iron.
and straightway be became roast
meat.
Mills found his dog there some
hours later and caused the current
to be shut OF before he attempted to
rescue Rex B. Rex B. was once worth
s25OO. being dog Of high degree. and
that is the sum Mills wants the public
service corporation to pay for the
burlesoue.-New York World.

Mahogany Hunters.

Mahogany trees do not grow In clus-
tiers, but are scattered throughout the
forest and hidden in dense growth
of underbrush, vines and creepers and
require a skilful d and experience
woodsman to find them. He seeks the
highest ground in a forest, climbs to
the top of the tallest tree and surveys
the surrounding country. The mahog-
any has a peculiar foliage and his
practiced eye soon detects the trees
within sight The axemen follow the
hunter and then come the sawyers
and hewers, a large mahogany taking
two men a full day to fell 1t. The
tree has large spurs, which project
from The trunk at its base, and scat
folds must be erected so that the tree
can be cut off above the spurs. This
leaves a stump ten to fifteen feet high.
which is sheer waste, as the stump
really contains the best lumber. The
hunter has nothing to do with the
work of cutting or removing the tree,
his duty being simply to locate 1t. II
he is clever and energetic his remun-
Grafton may amount to $500 or $1,000 q
month, but he may travel weeks at q
time without detecting tree, and as
he is generally paid by results, his
earnings are rather precarious.-St.

FORGING CHAINS FOR MAN.
Baroness d'orchampsj Tells How to
Hold a Husband Captive.

To the young man contemplating
matrimony, to the married man in
fact. to almost any sort of man, one of
the most interesting books published in
Paris recently is ''Tous les Secrets de
la Femme" book written especially
for women, by Baroness d'Orchamps.
The Baroness, whose name, by the
way, cannot be found in the Altman
ach de Gotha, frankly confesses that
she has set herself the task Of in
structing her sisters how to keep
'I'homme captif ct enchaine." This
is evidently not so simple a thing as
it used to be. According to the auth
or, sweet face and domestic dis
position are not the important con-
siderations they used to be. A whole
arsenal nowadays is necessary to the
task-bonbons to keep the breath
pure. Turkish tablets for the skin, ton
ic elixir for the gums, facial massage
to reduce the double chin, other kinds
of massage to secure 'the harmony of
the ankle" beauty masks and mas
ques de Ninon," and regular doses of
the secret du harem."
AS for the wardrobe necessary to
keep "I'homme captif ct enchaine,'' it
is enough to brighten even a million
aire when times are good. Besides
the innumerable evening, afternoon,
house, street, and tea gowns, there
is whole category Of costumes I'M

the amiable Baroness classes under
the general heading of costumes de
sport; riding. hunting, tennis, skat-
ing, automobile, bicycle, swimming,
footing" etc. About the only one
she doesn't mention is ballooning.
The Baroness also deals IN subtler
advice. Here is a translation of a
pretty example; But If feminine CO.
quetry is an admirable element of
commercial prosperity. it often dis
turbs domestic peace. II we are skill
full in disseminating our little bust
ness affairs with the dressmaker, mil
liner, or jeweler, doesn't it happen
sometimes that we are discovered at
an inopportune moment-that is to
say, before We have got our accounts
in order again?
Then it is that we learn the bitter
ness of quarrels, the unloveliness of
fibs. Our wounded pride even may in
spire desire for revenge. We prom
Use ourselves to employ thereafter
only the most skillful stratagems. To
our accumulated sins we add a hun

thing.-Paris correspondent of the

necessity for cautioning people against
living plainly. Most people err In the

PUSSY CLOTHES FOR CHILDREN.
A mother who is unusually devoted
to her children and who at the same
time has an amount of sense that
makes her devotion a real blessing
to them expresses her disapproval
CT the place assigned to some boys
and girls of today.
"Children's parties" she says, ARE
an excellent institution, for the little
folk are always better for mixing
with their kind, but what | do object
to is seeing the poor little things
fused up and taken out as pendants
to their mothers. / see them so often
dragged up the aisle of a church,
looking far from happy, and they al
ways suggest the idea that they are
a substitute for the pet dogs that
are not allowed in the sacred edifice.
One woman l know has an elaborate
frock made for her tiny daughter OF
three or four summers TO match In
color each afternoon gown she has
herself. The child goes nearly every
where with her mother and already
has mere vanity than it would ever
have been possible fer her to acquire
without the demoralizing influence OF
the grown-ups. But it Is at weddings
that the small people are most in
evidence. where they look as much
like smart dolls as their fresh little
faces and plump figures will allow.
Even little boys, in default Of girls,
are taken to weddings dressed as
Jecoratively as possible. We all like
to see the little ones dressed pref
lily, but the art of the dressmaker,
which is always with us, should new
er be allowed to take precedence OF
the peculiar charm that belongs to
all young things, and which, once
gone, never returns. New York
