oSLER PHILOSOPHY.

few years ago the startling as
sertion of DR.. Osler that the useful
ness OF life ended at sixty years of age
startled the world. The assertion did
not check the energetic young fellows
of sixty from going right ahead and
doing things without a thought Of the
chloroform bug. The doctor may have
intended that his utterances should
be taken In a scientific Pickwickian
sense. for in meeting him one would
never believe him responsible for such
grim edict. Now that DR.. Osler is
himself approaching the "age limit"
he may modify his original statement,
and with the honors OF knighthood
thick upon him." Sir William Osler
may take a brighter purview of long
life as the sunset of sixty approaches.
One bit OF philosophy lately advanced
by DR.. Osler seems destined to live to
bear good fruit. There is no use, he
remarks, in worrying about yesterday
and tomorrow-today is what we must
take care of. When one stops to think
of 1t, most of our real worries come
from regrets for misspent yesterday.
or from apprehensions of possibly un-
happy tomorrows, little realizing that
between the sunset and sunrise of
today lie all-important and impera-
tive duties, says a writer in the Ma
tional Magazine. DR.. Osler insists
that when one starts the day with
the first two hours going right, smooth
sailing for all day is forecasted This
reminds me of the admonition of dear
old grandfather who used to say:
Never get up in-the morning without
: hearty laugh. If you can't think of any
thing humorous, tickle yourself" In
other words, let your day begin with
temperamental sunrise, for CHEEKY
words and thoughts constitute a radi-
ant dawn that grows on into MONDAY

New Women Of Persia.

Persian women are essentially fem
inine. They want our dress, our edu-
cation, our freedom, our happiness.
Dress, 1t will be observed, comes
first in the catalogue of feminine
wants, but a change Of dress or coiH-
fure seems essential to all revolution
ary movements.
In Teheran, in place Of the face veil
Of white cloth, the Persian new won,
an now wears a small square Of black
net or woven horse hair; her shoes
have high heels; a European skirt
has taken the place Of the short skirt
and narrow trousers; the head ke&N
chief is being abandoned. One lady
tried to introduce an outfit to take
the place of the "chuddur," leaving
the face heavily veiled; but It waa
too revolutionary even for Teheran,
and, after being mistaken for the ex.
Shah In disguise, the wearer revert
ed in disgust to more ORTHODOX
clothes. In her home the new woman
offers cigarettes instead Of the watsz

1t appears that the Filipino women
are not up with the march OF prog
ress. The question of dress there
reveals the conflict of the old and
new ideas. Perhaps it was the fault
of the insular government in trying,
though cautiously, to influence the
customs and costumes of the fe-
male natives, but anyhow, the eternal
feminine seems to have got the better
of the first exchange of shots. The
government patornally, though very
tentatively, suggested that IL the ma

A New York woman has dared to
declare herself surprised that there
are American girls worrying because
they are so fat. She says their adj
posity Is due to lack Of exercise. When
they are going for a swim, she OBJ

to come in his automobile and take
them to the sea. When they 80 to
the beach they do not enter the wa

dim earth, and sheds its brightness
