Dear Mrs. Thompson-I am a young

half have kept company with a
young man six years my senior. He
called at my house but eight or nine
times during this length of time and

took a little walk and returned in less

we returned that evening, saying l

are both Of a quiet disposition and
never seem to tire of each other s
company. He is entirely to be trusted,

Mother refuses to listen to me. Please
advise me.

thing about him that she hasn't told

ADVICE FOR KEEPING YOUNG

At nearly 6S Miss Carlotto Addison was playing short time ago a fairy in 'eThe Blue Bird" She gave her secret of youth to the correspondent of, foreign publication. Here it is in two line:
 Work has kept me young, I have had no time to grow old" 1. And her next sentence emphasizes the point:
 "Only when I have a spare hour and sit down to play patience do begin to feel old So long as I am working I always feel young. In t"The Blue Bird'' I played the part of fairy an old fairy, it is true, but still a fafry-and I felt very young, and l believe all the really young fairies thought I was young too. Pm sure they had no idea I was nearly 70.
 T have hard a hard life, but I be- lieve it the people who have the hard est lives who keep the youngest. The prematurely old people are those who ing makes people so old as having nothing to do. But work should be congenial. It I had been a charwo- mani am afraid I should have been much older than am.
 ''It is a good thing to be as much as possible with the young people if they will put up with you and you AuON uOW u SCl OA1 W4l1A -It1C1IL CO1II6 of my friends tell me that young, peo- pie bore them. But that is never so with me I am still interested in everything that interests young peo- ple''
 Ut is not wise to try to keep young Nothing makes one feel so old as wearing young clothes. I think the great secret is to work hard and take no notice of birthdays and avoid holi- days. A holiday always makes me feel rather old, especially if have to play patience

It seems 70 be generally agreed that every person affords physical indica- tions of his prospects of a long or short life. A long lived person, it is said, may be distinguished at sight from a short lived one. In many cases physician can glance at the hand of patient and determine whether he will live or not. The pri- mary conditions of longevity are that the heart, lungs and digestive organs, as we'll as the brain, shall be large. If these organs are large the trunk will be long and the limbs compara- lively short. The person will appear tall white sitting and short while standing The hand will have long and somewhat heavy palm, with short fingers. The brain will be- deeply placed, as shown by the low position of the orifice of the ear. The blue, brown or hazel eye is a favorable in dication. The nostrils, if large, open and free, indicate large lungs. A pinched and half closed nostril indi- cates small or weak lungs. These are general points of distinction, but are, of course, subject to the usual indi- vidual exceptions.

PORTE PROMISES
 PROMPT PROBE OF
 SERvIAN BUTCHERY
Sultan Admits Inability to Cope With SituatiOn-SoldierS
 Are Belligerent

constantinople, Aug. 26.-To a vig- orous protest from King Peter con- corning the massacre by the hundreds of Servians at Sienitza. which he says occurred Saturday, the porte replied, today, promising an immediate in- vestigation and punishment of the butchers if the facts bear out the Servian accounts.
 Messages from Belgrade indicate that King Peter's subjects are ex- tremely likely to force him to declare war on Turkey. Of Seryia alone, the Turks could make short work but it is certain that it would be joined, in which has a formidable army.
 The Sultan's reply is that he cam not control his own soldiers. Defiant messages have been received from Kotschkana, where martial law was proclaimed, following the report of an Investigating committee that troops were responsible for a mas sacre there of Bulgarians.

What ls a Fireproof euiIdinaf

Nearly all modern industrial enter prises are housed in buildings that are to some extent fireproof. The question may reasonably be asked, What con- stitutes freproof building? Noth- ing is more fireproof than a furnace, and yet the decomposition of it's con- tents by fire is its chief use Build ings must therefore not only be made of non-inf1ammable material, but they must be SC arranged that fire when started can be confined to one room or to the smallest possible space. With this object in view they should be equipped with self closing metal doors and windows with wire glass or metal shutters. They should have automatic fire alarms and, above all, an adequate sprinkler system. Steel framing must be inclosed and protected with some material, such as brick, tile, terra cot ta or concrete, Under these conditions, with insurance on the contents, a man ufacturing enterprise is reasonably Magazine.

rha Sunran1s Court.

For the supreme court of the United States there is no exact precedent, either in the ancient or the modern times. In making the great constitu- ton the fathers availed themselves of all past knowledge and experience, but it was probably from the French publicist Montesquieu that they got their idea of the supreme court. In his book, 'The Spirit of the Laws" Montesquieu, after making masterly analysis of all forms of government, uses these words: There is no liberty if the judicial power be not separated from the legislative and the executive" ," The framers of the constitution knew Montesquieus book well, and there is not any room for doubt about their get ting the idea of the supreme court from that source.-New York Ameri- can

WOMEN AS MAsTER-BU1LDERs

Coincidental with the renewed fight in Georgia, says the Atlanta Consti- tuition, to admit women to the bar in this state, comes the announcement from New York that the master build ers' association of that city has de- termined on the founding of an in- stitute which shall teach women all branches of the craft, including even the highest rank of master builder. An advantage claimed for the innovation is that the profession of building will take them into the open air, and. therefore, be conducive to a healthy mode of life. There is no sound req son why women should not aspire to of master building, which is the pin- nacle of contracting. This does not mean, necessarily, that the drudgery of the calling, shall be done by femi- nine hands. Male labor in plenty can be obtained for that purpose. But since women are already recognized and widely accepted as architects. there is no cause why they should not enter upon the practical phase involv- ed in the work of construction prop er.
 The instance from New York, the Constitution adds, simply illustrates the manner in which all fields are be- ing increasingly opened to the other sex. It would, naturally, be assumed if women should be excluded from any occupation, it would be that of mas- ter builder, which entails contact with all sorts and conditions of men and the handling of abstruse problems as remote from office routine as it Is possible to imagine. Fair analysis however, demonstrates that the same mental and moral qualities which women bring to bear, successfully, in the myriad occupations they now fol- low, will be of efficacy in that calling which revo1ves around the carrying out of plans as laid down by the arch tect and the designer

Old Time roaata.

Toasts are now rarely proposed1ex- cept at public dinners, but there was a time when they were the order of the day at every convivial gathering. The compiler of book published in 1797, ."The Postmaster" remarks in his preface that eft is the custom in most societies. whether public or pFi- vate, for the president to call on the company in their turn for toast In- dividuals are consequently often at loss. This collection of .genteel senti- ments and toasts will supply their de- ficiency, as it contains a larger number than ever was before published, the greater part of which are spirited and new" The genteel toasts range from the righteous, such as May contempIa- ton upon our last resting place check vain hopes and prevent weak despond- ency," to the frivolous, such as Tots of beef, oceans of beer, a pretty girl and a thousand year."-LondoD Chronicle

Thames Watermen.

The watermen and lightermen of London can trace their occupation back to q very remote past. In statute of Henry VIII, passed in 1514, for reg ulating their fares, it is recorded ''that it has been a laudable custome and usage tyme out of mind to use the river in barge or winery bote." And the an nafs of the Watermens company give an interesting account of dispute as far back as 1293 concerning the charge for the conveyance of passengers from Gravesend to London. The regular fare was one-half penny for each person, but some interruptions boatmen charg- ed passengers penny. So the offend CTS were taken by the sheriff before the justices of assize, who admonished them and made each waterman give a bond of 40 shillings for future good be- havior.-London Graphic.

EoaIinn the poas.

Tn the highlands of Scotland it used to be the practice for each shepherd to take his collie dog to church.
 These dogs" as Dean Ramsay wrote, ''sit out the Gaelic services and sermon with commendable patience till toward the end of the last psalm, when there is universal stretching and yawning and all are prepared to scamper out, barking in a most excit- ed manner. whenever the blessing is commenced. The congregation of one of these churches determined that the service should close in a more decorous manner, and steps were taken to at tain this object. Accordingly when a strange clergyman was officiating he found the people all sitting when he was about to pronounce the blessing. He hesitated and paused, expecting them to rise, till an old shepherd, look ing up to the pulpit, said:
 Say ava, sir. We're a-sittin' to cheat the dowgs.'"
