But all the same, plain women live and
thrive, and now and then make brilliant
marriages. In fact, one has only to use
ones eyes to see that some ugly women
have for men quite a weird power of
attraction. History teaches us this: for
we are told, in several instances, of un-
comely women who have ruled the des-
TIMES of men and nations. Catherine of
Russia and Mime. de Maintenon had no
looks; and Mary Queen of Scots, who
has gone down to fame as a beauty.
appears in her picture as thin, small
eyed and Manufactured. Indeed, only
one portrait is said to exist in which
she is shown as fair-haired and lovely,
and this hangs in Dalkeith palace, and
belongs to the Duke of Buccleuch.

HomeIy Women.
CFrom the Strand.)

Plain women exist, and form def
mite factor in our social economy. Not
all of us are blessed with good features,
soft eyes, fine figure and a clear com
plexion. Some of us are born with dull
skins, wide mouths and snub noses. and
not all the arts of dress and toilet can
make us pretty, or even presentable.

Two thousands persons afflicted with
many ailments-an assemblage made up
OF the lame the halt and the blind
gathered at the Church of ST Anne on
July % to await the opening of the relic
OF that saint recently received from the
Church of st. Anne de Beaupre, in
quebec, whose walls are hidden by
erutches of those said to have been
cured by the relic.
The portion of the relic possessed by
the local church-the only one in the
United States-is an infinitesimal splin-

and is set in chased gold case which
mas been blessed by the pope. Today

NEW THOUGHTS
FROM OLD TEXTS
Don't Monopolize the Good Qualities
of Your Friends.

Women who adopt the shut-in policy
are like the Chinese. They hurt them
selves more than they hurt anyone else.
Don't hesitate to hand good thing
around whether it is friend, dress
maker or an Accomplishment t. For ev-
erything you give to o;hers you get
some exchange. and if you give nothing
you get nothing.
I know women who always want to
keep their friends to themselves. They
like to sit in one corner and talk with
one person. They frown if anyone else
comes to interrupt this tete-a-tete-
Now, that is the way to grow stupid.
If I. for instance, am fond of Mary x
I ought to want to see all Of her differ
ent sides. She is affected in a certain
way by me, but other women bring out
different qualities in her; therefore, she
is at her best with several people
around, not when ! keep her to myself
The Good of Mixing.
II I have only a succession Of conf
Dental conversations with the people
Ike I am practically getting their views
OF my point of view over and over
again IF ] want to get away from my
self must mix with several people.

rates will stand 30 per cent above the minimum

are said to have cut from oak trees
with bill hooks Of gold, for the
plant was a sacred object in their
religious ceremonies, is seldom
found on oaks at the present day,
although it abounds on many other
trees, to which its presence is al
ways eventually fatal. Such at
least is the state Of affairs in France

THE HEART.
What Happens to This Patient Organ
When Il 10 oxeestrained.

What Happens to This Patient Organ
When Il 10 oxerstrained.
The heart is a long suffering and
patient organ, and fortunate it is
that this is SO, for even the gen.
TEST or the LATEST person puts bur-
dens on it that any less obliging or
gan would resent to the extent Of
quitting work.
The digestive organs do this
sometimes, and the result j. much
suffering for the time being. But
when the quarrel IS patched up and
the offender ceases to abuse these
useful and necessary parts Of the
Body life goes on as before.
The heart cannot stop work for q
minute, for if it should life would
end at once, and SO human nature
presumes upon its knowledge Of this
and puts all sorts of difficult tasks
upon the heart.
There is a limit, however, that
cannot be exceeded, especially by
those who have passed the fortieth
milepost, without risk, if not in
slant death, at least of chronic in
validism.
The heart is q muscular bag, d.
vided into four compartments, the
function Of which is to pump the
blood to all parts Of the body, which
it does by the regular contraction
Of its walls. In health and under
normal conditions this pumping ac-
ton goes on regularly and quietly.
But when an impediment is offered
to the flow of blood in the arteries,
such as occurs during active eyer
else or under the stress Of some
strong mental emotion, such as
grief, anger or great JOY, the mus
cular wall must contract more forci-
bly,.
If the opposing force continues
beyond a certain time the heart
gets tired, and its cavities dilate a
little, while its action grows more
rapid. The sign of this is shortness
of breath. Young athletes, by a
course of ludicious training, grad
ually strengthen the heart muscles
SO that it is able to meet the strain
and overcome it by more forcible
contractions. In youth also the
organ is elastic and readily returns
to its normal size, even in the alb
sence Of training, Is soon as the
strain is reduced.
In later life, however, the elastic
ity disappears, and = severe tax on
the organ, such aa bicycling uphill,
running or even q strenuous game
of tennis when enc is "soft, "may
result in dilatation which is. not
reduced readily or which may even
persist as crippled heart, making
its owner more or less of a perma-
nent invalid.
Every person over fifty should
avoid severe physical strains Of all
kinds. He should exercise regu-
larly-walking is the best kind Of
exercise for the heart-but he
should avoid unusual feats Of nun
ming, bicycling or even horseback
riding if he would keep his heart
in condition to last as long as the
other organs-up to so or 100
years, which is the natural limit Of
well spent life. = Youths Com
