Emerson destined to be our last repre-
sentative of that delightful line, be-
ginning with Montague and carried
nobly down through Swift. Addison,
Lamb, Hazlitt, Newman, Matthew Ar.
mold, Stevenson, to our day. Is it be.
cause it holds too leisurely charm
for our impatient temper that we lay
aside this most intimate form of com.
munion with our men of letters? 1t
seems as If the appetite for facts had
dulled our literary palates; that we
preferred, like the ostrich, to bolt mis-.
cellaneous daily provender of shells
and pebbles. For our great masters
OF style will not be hurried. They
seem to ask US to pull up our easy
chairs before the fire, light pipes, fill
tankards, and let the good talk come,
as twill, like old wine poured grudg-
1ngly at first from precious bottle.
But what generous glow it brings at
last-what friendly invocations out Of
a past that seems our own! We can
fancy the superb invective with which
Sam Johnson would have greeted the
intrusion, into one of his discourses,
of the telephone. And yet we let our
newspapers and our railroads and our
telephones and our uncomfortable
habit Of hurrying nowhere for the
sake Of hurrying cheat us of these
rich friendships. How happy Mark
Twain must be now sitting discursive
among his peers!-Collier's Weekly.

WHY WOMEN LIVE LONGER
Physicians AserIbe Fact to 4 More
Sheltered Existence, for Ono
E - Thing.

Though doctors have long realized
that, thanks to a better knowledge Of
sanitation and personal hygiene, peo-
pie are living longer than formerly,
the much greater relative longevity
of women, as shown in the recently
published national debt Offices re-
port on the mortality Of government
life annuitants. has come as q general
surprise. "a 49,. = -.
In a summary of these figures It
was shown that the expectation of
life Of woman of fifty Is now more
than a year greater than it was in
1875, while that of a man OF the same
age Is only about three months
greater.
Discussing the reasons of our in.
ereasing longevity, and in particular
woman's stronger hold on life, physi-
clans at st. Bartholomew's hospital
advanced widely different theories.

work of our brain cells. Women may
be just as brainy as men, but they
do not work their brain cells as Wig,
orously or as continuously as do their
men relatives. If they did there
would not be SO great a disparity In
the length Of life of the two sexes"
Another consultant put down wom-
ans greater expectation of life to the
more sheltered existence she leads,
and the lack Of physically depressing
competition which is part of nearly
every mans life. "A woman may
have hard work to d." he explained.

Offices or who follow professions, they

An amusing story is quoted by q

YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy, Made From Gar
den Sage, Restores Color to
Gray Hair.

A feeling of sadness accompanies
the discovery of the first gray hairs
which unfortunately are looked upon
as heralds of advancing age. Gray
hair, however handsome it may be,
makes a person look old. We all
know the advantages of being young.
Aside from the good impression a
youthful appearance makes on others,
simply knowing that you are blocking
fit" gives one courage to undertake
and accomplish things. So why suf-
fer the handicap Of looking old on &C
count of gray hairs, when simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
color and beauty in few days. time?
Most people know that common
garden sage acts as a color restorer
and scalp tonic as we'll. Our grand
mothers used a "Sage Tea for keep
ing their hair dark. soft and luxur-
liant. In Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy we have an ideal prepa-
ration of sage, combined with sui
phur and other valuable remedies for
dandruff, itching scalp and thin, weak
hair that is split at the ends or con-
stantly coming out. A few applica-
lions of this valuable remedy will
bring back the color, and in a short
time it will remove every trace of
dandruff and greatly improve the
growth and appearance of the hair.
Get fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and notice the differ
ence in your hair after a few days
treatment. All druggists sell it, un-
der guarantee that the money will be
refunded If the remedy is not exactly
as represented.-Adv.

Fortune 1elllno.

Fortune telling is almost az old al
tho human race itself. We have no
knowledge Of the time when or place
whore 1t originated. We only know
that the practice was In vogue as far
back as we can 60. Some claim that
It had its beginning with the astrolo-
gers. who claimed that they were
able to foretell the future by aid OF
the planets. The oldest Of the ma.
tons were familiar with the practice,
and by the gypsies It has been carried
all over the world. It is perfectly
natural for man to want to know
about tomorrow and next year, and it
required but little effort on his part
to listen to the fortune tellers. To
this day the business Is carried on
with profit by the gypsies and others
who impose upon the credulity Of the
superstitious. 49,. -.-.

such primitive kind that some of US
had to use the back of the stage as q

chair. One night-it was winter, and
the audience was almost as chilly as
