Women Stay Young Longer.

william Allen Whites Switzerland Letter to the
Emporia Gazette.
Women in Switzerland grow old more
gracefully than any Of the other women
In Europe. That does not mean that
women who work hard In youth and sap
their lives out before they are thirty are
pretty. Not even American women of
that type are beautiful. Perhaps 1t
means that owing to social and economic
conditions women do not have to wear
themselves out as their mothers did and
hence they are beautiful into their fortys
and flftys. 1t may be pertinent to digress
here and present this query: Are not
women the world over. as a rule, adding
a decade to their years of youth? It
does seem that there are more handsome
women between thirty-five and flfty-five
than there were twenty-five years ago
Or perhaps a boy in his teens isn't so
charitable to the minor failings of a
woman in her fortys as a man in his
fortys. But discounting the pride of
youth. it does seem that today, all over
the world, the woman whose family in
come is between $40 and $1,000 a weea-
a wide range, surely--this woman retains
her youthful freshness and charm longer
than her grandmother retained hers. La
Dor saving machinery seems to have done
that much for the woman in general
everywhere in civilization.

A Clergyman's Samples.
From Tit Bits.

from 1ll.OtS
A minister who had been doing mission
airy work In India recently returned to
London for visit He was a guest at a
well known hotel. where everything
pleased him except the absence Of the
very torrid sauces and spices to which he
had become accustomed in the far east.
fortunately he had brought with him a
supply OF his favorite condiments. and
by arranging with the head waiter these
were placed on his table. One day an
other guest saw the appetizing bottle on
his neighbours table and asked the waiter
to give him some of that sauce"
I'm sorry, SIR said the waiter, but it
is the private property OF this gentleman"
The minister, however. overheard the
others request and told the waiter to pass
the bottle.
The stranger poured some Of the mix.
ture on his meat and took a liberal
mouthful. After a moment he turned
with tears In his eyes to the minister.
you're q minister OF the Gospel?''
Yes. SIR
And you preach the doctrine of ever
lasting fire?'
Yes" admitted the minister.
Well you're the first minister l ever
met who carried samples

professional Fathers" in France.
Paris CORRESPONDENCE London Express.

A curious industry has sprung up in
France. owing to the law which permits
any man to declare himself the legal
father of a child. a number OF men Of
good family and small means have adopt
ed paternity as a profession, and are
willing. for a small sum, to declare them
selves fathers of boys or girls who have
no names OF their own. As long as
there honest men alone protited by the
law there was no particular reason TO
interfere, but the authorities are taking
steps TO abrogate il now. owing to curious
circumstances which have come under
their notice.
Some time ago woman proceeded
against a man for theft and blackmail.
He was sentenced TO two years i'm
prisonment. The woman had a son who
had been registered as ''of parentage un-
known" When the blackmailer came
out of prison he. In due form. declared
himself the young mans father. and
he is his father still. Recently, in a
lawsuit, In which an inheritance was at
stake. the evidence proved that the legal
father OF one Of the parties was two
years younger than his daughter, and
this state OF affairs is too Gilbertian to
remain possible much longer.
