WOMAN WHO WAS GREATER

Although Unknown to Fame I'm
America Her Ideas Influence the
World.

There is hardly anybody outside
the active temperance ranks, who
knows who Mary H. Hunt was.
writes Minnie ]. Reynolds in The De-
iineator for January.
Mrs. Hunt accomplished a peculiar
work. She altered the system of
puolic education in the United
States and whoever does this alters
to certain extent the whole racial
type. From 1879 to her death In
1906 Mrs. Hunt made her home at
Dorchester, Mass, a headouar.ers ~
scientific temperance instruction and
information. With trained assistants
she gathered and catalogued data of
scientific temperance research ALL ov-
er the world. She had prepared and
published series Of textbooks. suit-
ed to different grades, teaching the
effects Of alcohol uopn the human
system. Year after year Mrs. Hunt
went up apd down the country ask
Ing legislatures to pass laws reauir-
ing scientific temperance instruction
in schools. One by one the enact
ments were secured, until in 1901
this instruction became compulsory
in every State and Territory, and in
every school under Federal control.
Then the world began to come to
Mrs Hunt for instruction. Her sys-
tenn spread to Great Britain, Ger
many, Sweden, France, Finland. Bel
gium, Switzerland, Hungary, Rou-
mania, Canada, Mexico, Iceland.
Australia, New Zealand, South Afri-
ca and mission schools in Burma.

HOW A GRAND OPERA STAR

had been kept in such a constant
state Of happiness, that the night Of
my grand opera debut seemed like
beautiful dream, writes Marie Rap
pold in The Delinetaor. I was eager
not fearful--to come face to face
with the audience.
Heinrich Conried came to my
dressing-room. He had promised
me surprise for that night, and
there he stood in the doorway in the
costume Of chorister, so that he
could be near me on the stage. If
there was trace of anxiety left, that
dissipated it.
The muffied sound Of the orches-
ira was rising. Somewhere a call
boy cried my name and Mr.. Conried
led me into the wings. I heard my
entrance cue. Watch the conduc-
tor" he whispered. Next moment I
was on the stage. Faces everywhere
ard reaching to high heaven-that
was the moments impression of my
first Metropolitan audience.
A wave of welcoming applause
that swept the house was kindly
meant, but disconcerting. 1t caused
me to lose track of the orchestra.
But the conductors eye was on me.
In moment I caught his nod and
was singing. The faces grew blurred
and distant. A consciousness of the
audience as many in one came over
me. found myself singing to that
one 1 had so wanted to sing to it.,
dreamed Of it.
My dream had come true. and 1
sang with JOY in my heart-a Joy
that overflOwed when I stood dazed
and spell-bound by the volley Of ap-
plause and cheers. "Famose!" BOOM
ed the voice of Mr.. Conried behind
me, and drank life's sweetest draft
from the cup of success. The end
OF the night was like the beginning
remember it only dimly. But the
three weeks of preparation, 1 shall
never forget them.
oscar SHenger always said 1 would
sing in opera. But he insisted lust
as firmly that the right opportunity
would not come until 1 was perfect
ly ready. 1t took me seven years to
learn that lesson, and I advise every
young one to take it to heart.

THE MIDDLE-AGED MAN.
Something Said to Him by Dentist
Sets Him to Thinking.

From the New York Sun.
my dentist tells me-" said the
middle aged man. that my teeth
will last as long as I do; and when
he said that to me I was at first
pleased, because then it seemed to
mean simply that still had pretty
good teeth, good for a long time yet,
and thought that some day
would say to him, sort Of half jok-
ingly:
Doctor, you tell me my teeth
will last as long as will-about
how long do you think my teeth will
last.?'
I'm that way, you see, by indirec-
ton I am going to get a line on how
much longer he thought was likely
to live; and as I thought that over I
smiled to myself, thinking that was
pretty bright idea, but do you
know that when I came to think 1t
over again I didn't ask him finally?
I didn't.
Because I think he knows. I have
been going to him now for years and
he knows my teeth through and
through. He knows by them how
old I am and he knows their rate of
wear exactly and how much longer
they will last and he could tell nae
how much longer I will last. But
haven't asked him because I don't
want to know. I don't want to know
at all.
"As a matter Of fact I think that
when We come to my time Of life we
don't much fancy dwelling on that;
though there are times when it seems
to intrude itself when we realize that
the years ahead Of us are not so
many as-well, as they were some
years ago, when life seemed to us
interminable. Any actuary could tell
us what our expectation of life may
at the present moment.
1--WE expect, Of course, that we are
going to live longer, to be the eX-
ception, but even if we should so
prove We can count the years still
coming to us without using many
figures. We are getting to where we
can see the end II we look that way,
and can't say that I have any fear
Of 1t, but I certainly don't find any
pleasure in contemplating it; I'd
rather stay.
$50 I haven't asked the dentist be-
| cause I don't want to know. The
thought Of it does drift in on me
once in while. but when it does
shunt it off and get busy and keep
plugging and take cheerful view.
"I'm glad my teeth are good, any,
