FETES FOR AGED COUPLES
How Honor Is Paid the Old People
In France by Public
Festivals.

Rheims has Just been celebrating
an interesting event. the golden we'd
ding of so old couples, says the West
minister Review.
The fete is as old as the Revolution.
when 1t first seems to have begun. In
the time of the directory there were
two fetes, the fete of the old people
and the fete OF the golden wedding.
This seem to have been a very pref
ty affair. to Judge from the account in
the Debats. There was a procession
of oxen. with their horns crowned
with flowers, followed by children
crowned with v~iolets. by young men
wreathed with myrtle, and old men
with garlands of olives and girls
dressed as vestal virgins.
At Paris in August, 1897. there was
a great festival in honor of the old
men, who were all given seats at the
Opera, when "a gracious Hebe crowned
their white locks with garlands OF
roses" and the soldiers presented
arms. The idea of the fete was the
encouragement of the family circle.
The old man, who was a happy grand.
father, was feted as an encourage
ment to the younger generation to fol.
low in his footsteps.

THEIR MINDS FOCUS WRONG
Why Many Persons Fall to Perceive
Events Clearly and In the Right
Proportion.

The veriest amateur in p~hotogra-
ply knows that a view of an object
may be completely distorted by being
out of focus, and thus give an entirely
wrong notion of its relative proper
tons. To get the correct focus the
eye of the camera must be neither too
close nor toe far from what is to be
photographed.
So it is with tho human vision.
though merely a mental photograph.
the same precision of focus is neces-
sary to arrive at relative values. The
trouble with too many people is that
their minds focus wrong. and grasp
events at either too near or too great
distance. or from extreme angles, or
magnify unimportant details at the
expense of the vital elements.
The man who is out. of focus with
his surroundings or with the subject
he is discussing is quite common, and
the peculiar ideas Of which he be-
comes obsessed are as bizarre as a
photograph made by a freak amera.
To get such a man back into focus is
much more difficult than to adjust a
lens, yet that is precisely what must
be done in order to give him clear
perception and enable him to see
things In their right relation.-Omaha
Bee.

Natural Indignation,

A cautious German, who keeps a
pawnbroker's shop In Sydney, is in the

girl placed four on the counter, and,

he would take the cheapest one, for

GIRAFFE A CURIOUS BRUTE
Though Exceedingly Frightened by
Slight Rustic, He Is Quite lndf-
ferent to Loud Noises.

Among the curious characteristics
of the giraffe is its strange indiffer.

its peculiar "scariness" with refer.
ence to slight sounds. Noisy sounds,
like that Of a man walking ear In
hobnailed boots. the giraffe does not
appear to notice. but should 1t be ap

give out but the slightest rustic, the
sound thereof aus the giraffe to
start up with pricked ears and eyes

Ofacials of a geological institution,
situated hear a canal, tell of a curious
instance of this popularity of giraffes.
After a terrible explosion of gunpow.
der on a barge o the canal. the keep
ers were astonished to observe that
the giraffes took little notice of the
tremendous blast. They jumped to
their feet, but almost at once laid
down again, when they found that
nothing extraordinary had happened in
their Enclosure. But, were a keeper at
night to creep along outside that in
closure in his stocking feet, the queer
beasts would exhibit such terror that
one would imagine them about to dash
themselves In terror against the
fences.
Giraffes fear the lurking foe, and a
big bang are them hardly at all.
To them the faint, rustling sound is a
token of the greatest danger. In that
respect they are like deer.

PUBLIC Drinking Gun.

Dangers that lurk in public drink

nealth-are shown effectively by some

The tests showed conclusively," said
Ut. +. o. Tonney, who is in charge
OF the laboratory, that there is
danger to the public through
the use of m m cups in public
places. About two dozen pigs yer
inoculated and all show signs of de-
veloping disease. The pig that died

A Cure for NaNea.

This is the q of nerves, therefore
let us endeavor to take things as easy
as possible or as consistent with cir
cumstances. We should not worry
over trifes-this is what most wom-
en do. We should try to keep our
minds free from unkind or u~ncharita-
BILE or discontinued thoughts.
Such emotions cause wrinkles and
sallowness. and some say that i'll
temper is n of the causes of indi-
gestion. l think every woman should
find time for a little reading and a
little needlework every day. In the
old days, when there was less going
about and women read and sewed
there was no talk OF nervous
ness.
Now, there is another great aid in
giving a woman a feeling Of comfort
and well being and that is the fact of
being nicely dressed-not extensively.
but dressed with a n In a be-
coming style.
1t is right for a woman to wish to
look well in the sight of others, and II
she allows herself to drift into care
l%essness or to look a dowdy, she does
not care to go out, and, as a natural
consequence, her health and spirits
suffer. A well-made costume, a neat,
becoming hat and good boots will
make all the difference.
