FROM womAN's POINT OF VIEW

Think of a whole city of nervous wrecks That is what we have come to, my friends. and the physicians are perfectly frank in declaring that the majority of cases had no legitimate beginning There was too much strain in some one direction with sleep less nights and the end was inevit- able. The depressing feature of this form of disease is the difficulty with which one climbs back to health.
 There is so much to interest and amuse humanity that only those who are out of reach of temptation are req sonably safe. That is the real reason for the popularity of country life. where there is tfne to perform tasks quietly and easily and little or no striving to outdo ones neighbors. Life is tuned to a wholesome key and the best proof of it is the willingness of men and women to leave the opera or play before its finish-even pleasure is taken in a leisurely fashion.
 When we can cast off the idea that we have a most important part to play in life we are beginning to learn the secret of easy living. As a matter of fact we are not expected to do but a tiny part of the worlds work and the wise ones do not hunt for more than their allotted share Perhaps it is pleasant to be able to do a multiplicity Of things, but too many burdens are q serious drain upon the system. The feeling that one is being driven by un- finished tasks is surely wearing upon the nerves.
 
 The most beautiful life is' one in which work and play Is properly bal anced. There should be work of an absorbing kind for a steady diet-it is a staff like bread. There should be time for amusement, for exercise. for read ing and music and art. if one cares for them. but above everything. there should be time to display affection and prove friendship. The average man rests after days work or at least gets a change in amusement-the ordinary woman spends her leisure in work even though of another kind, so we find a breakdown more common among wo- men.
 As a sex we waste ourselves in use less speech. man goes to his club and often does little more than ex- change greetings with a few acquaint- ances. Women go to teas or make calls and talk necessarily. then wonder why they reach home in Jagged con- dition. The time is at hand when we must take these faults seriously. for the asylums are overcrowded, and dis eased brains do not wear out as quick ly as one might think. It Is a hideous life for alL concerned.-Betty Bradeen

'.Ramayana," the sacred epic of the Hindus, it is written how Hanuman, the monkey god. allied himself with Vishnu the Preserver. helping him to overcome his enemies and recover his lost wife Sita.
 So the monkey. especially the com mon red monkey. says the Wide World Magazine. is worshipped throughout the length and breadth of India His images in brass are sold in every bazaar. and many shrines are dedicated to his worship.
 People say that there has always been a fakir on Jakko. and it is pos sible that one has lived there ever since the hill tribes were admitted within the very elastic limits of the Hindu religion Priest has succeeded priest, living alone on the mountain top.. and sharing with his little red gods the food which pious worship pers provided.
 In former times there must have been little enough for either gods or priest, for the hill folk in the villages around live poorly even when the season sis good. and nearly starve when there is famine. But now he lives in comfort. Not only has the number of Hindu merchants in the bazaar increased. but many English visitors come to see his charges and give him money when they leave.

NEW ROAD METALS.
Somewhat or Essentially Alike, But h Some Cases Patented.

Commissioner Gilkyson believes he is destined to completely supplant crushed stone. says the Newark News. He has been experimenting ever since he has been in office, and he now has eighty-five miles of road built of the new material, with speci- fications drawn for thirteen more. Some of these roads have been down for more than q year; have been sub jected to summers heat, to winters cold and to all kinds of heavy cart ing. light riding and automobile speeding. They have stood all these tests we'll and are not likely to need repairs for several years to come.
 The new material is crushed stone. with an asphalt binder. the best pro- portion of asphalt being the subject of many experiments and tests of en- durance The state road law was changed last winter to allow counties to build roads of the new combina- ton with state aid The cost of such roads is from $1.15 to $50 a square yard. as against $1.S0 to s2.50 for the best macadam. and it is not only dustless. but durable.
 As might have been expected. half dozen or more of the largest road building companies have taken out patents for their respective cOmbina- tions of crushed stone and bitumen. but Commissioner Gilgyson hopes, with the aid of the government road department. to devise specification which will permit this state to use a combination Of its own that will not infringe upon these patents. If the new material proves all it promises to be, it will solve the dust problem and revolutionize road building in

A large number of wild animals were turned into the ring and the men quickly roped their animals, saddled them and mounted. They then rode the animals till they were subdued. The contest was won by Bert Bryan with Joe Iszabell second.
 Some of the best riders in Arizona, Colorado and California participated. They were Bill Dugan. Tex" Single ton. Jim Sweet. Jesse Qualls. Bob Crews. Bert Bryan. the two Iszabells. and Elmer Richards.
 Elmer Richards, who is generally considered the most expert rider of bucking mules in the country. then brought out the worst animal in the mule tribe he could find. The mule had never been ridden before and bucked few times and then ran to a fence corner and stood there with all fight gone. He rode the mule without a saddle
 The wild steer riding did not take place as the steer which had been pro- vided broke loose and cut his legs on barb wire SD that he was in no condi- ton to display his ferocity.
 The crowd at yesterdays exhibition was the largest and most enthusiastic ever assembled to witness an out door event in Phoenix, hundreds of women being eager expectators of the contests. while the occupants of the scores of carriages and automobiles which lined the fence gave an addi- tional touch of interest to the occasion. The assembling of such a large crowd was largely due to the thorough cam paign of publicity conducted by Geo. J. Langsdale who was associated with Bert Bryan in promoting the enter prise.

TIRE TIRED BUSINESS MAN."
Mrs. Fiske Declares That the Theory
 Is Ancient and Foolish.

-I have no leaning toward any par ticular school of drama said Mrs. Fiske recently in an interview. T respect a good play, whether it be tragedy, comedy. farce. romance or problem play. am interested In any sort of play that is good dra- matic literature. The term is com- prehensive. IL should embrace every technical requirement equally with every other requirement.. An imi- tation play of any sort Is hardly creditable to the producer. Not long ago we were engaged in the presenta- tion of an imitation psychological drama. The play succeeded well enough, but the experience was com pletely depressing and tiresome."
 What about the tired business man?" Mrs. Fiske was asked.
 The theater may always be de- pended upon to furnish food for every sort of theatergoing palate" she re- piled. ''The seriously inclined may find frequent inspiration and the complete imbecile will always be able to discover appropriate entertainment. This foolish. thoughtless talk with re- gard to the tired business man and the men who seek after-dinner dis traction has prevailed ever since the theater has existed.
 Tt is of no consequence. If the great leaders of the drama had ever listened to it the stage would never have possessed Garrick. or a Keene. or a Kemble. or a Siddons, Forrest, a Booth. or a Duse. Nor would II ever have possessed nobility of any sort"

GUARDIAN OF SACRED MONKEYS
Hindu Fakir Who Lives in Comfort
 On Hilltop With His Charges.

In the very top of Jakko. the hill that rises above Simla, there lives a solitary Hindu 'fakir. an old man clother in yellow. with saffron plas- tered cheeks and caste marks on his forehead. He's the guardian priest of the sacred monkeys.
 Like the inhabitants of ancient Egypt who worshipped cats and crockodiles. the Hindus of today hold many animals in superstitious rev. erence.

HATEFUL LEGAL TACTICS.

Lord Chancellor Erskine. with all his arts and all his intrepidity in the face of judge or jury, was easily upset by anything which touched his amour propre. Vanity was his foble. and he had all the susceptibility which attaches to it. One artful at torney, knowing this. used to plant a man in court, in full view of Erskine. to yawn hideOusly at his most elO- quent appeals or to litter at his most tragic tones.
 Once when Garrow. the we'll known counsel. lost in thought, had fixed his eyes vacantly upon him, Erskine was so put out that he stopped down and h.ssed in his ear: Who the devil do you think can get on with that wet blanket of face of yours before him?"

HIGH MEAT PRICES.

Our butcher" is In most cases a prosperous individual owning good house and garage with something in it. Failures of meat dealers are rare. and. when they do occur. are caused for the most part by too great extending of credit. In any event. it would seem reasonable to suppose that on a gross profit of 35 per cent the retailer might make a decent living.
 The beef trust magnates are the chief sinners in the making of high prices and always will be. But the retailers combination has no reason to pose as a philanthropic institution. When it does. the consumer smiles in a rather sickly way He understands.-Boston Post.
