How to Keep YOUNG.

The best way to keep young is to
associate, as far as possible, with ev-
erything and everybody that is new
and young. Both men and women get
old by sticking to old ways, thinking
old thoughts and always looking back
on the past
Look ahead if you want to keep
young. Youth always thinks of what
it is going to do in the future and
forgets the failures of the past. 1t is
not the go-ahead men who age rap
idly; it is the men who stick in old
ruts and follow out long-established
rules and methods. Constant change
and variety may be said to form one
of the great secrets of youthfulness.
A woman should make a point of
getting out as much as possible

AUSTRIAN YOUTHS IN WAR

The Austrian newspapers are devot-
ing considerable space at present to
the part played by schoolboys in the
present war. They are affectionately
termed the war boys" and in the op-
erations in eastern Galicia they were
of great assistance to the troops.
In some of the artillery battles, es-
pecially those which centered around
Czernovitz and Weinberg, schoolboys
in large numbers braved the shells and
carried water and ammunition for the
troops.
After battle they would go over the
field and gather pieces of shrapnel and
the shells of cartridges to be made
over again into ammunition. Occa-
sionally boy thus sacrificed his life.
but this did not deter the ardor Of his
companions
Many of the boys followed the In
fantry regiments and fought and slept
with the soldiers in the trenches. The
boys who remained at home took the
place of their fathers and brothers who
were at the front.
The story is told of fourteen-yearr
old youngster who all alone managed
the biggest hotel in Czernovitz He
looked personally after his own cashier
and bookkeeper. Other boys peddled
goods among the soldiers and SO
earned good living for their mothers.
Some became guides. and many an
army automobile had as guide bright
schoolboy who sat beside the chauf-
fear and showed him the right road
1t is said that when the history Of
this war is written the schoolboys Of
Austria will deserve prominent place
| in it's pages.

IS HOME LESS ATTRACTIVE?
Every Member of Family Nowadays
Seems to Find Entertainment
Elsewhere.

The average American home seems
to be losing its attraction for the
household, Anna GLADDEN. writes in the
New Orleans Times-Picayune. The
home is frequently only place in
which to sleep and eat. The chill
dren coming home from school stop
at home long enough to deposit their
books and go off in pursuit of enter
tainment. The mother entertains her
visitors by shopping or visiting the
picture show. The evening callers are
treated to musical entertainment or
a theater party. The call of outside
attraction is strong. However, the
home should have its attractions and
be satisfying to both old and young
in the household. When the back yard
has been transformed from an ash
heap and tin-can pile to a plot of
flowers when ugliness in fence and
outbuildings has been covered with
vines; when window boxes add a
touch of nature to the house and grass
covers the lawn, and when this
is done by the members of the house
hold who find pleasure in the task,
the home will have increased attrac-
ton and the household will want time
to linger and enjoy the development
from day to day.

FEW FOUND TO BE PERFECT
According to Tests Made the Ideal
Husband Seems to Be a Some
what Rare Animal.

In a recent husband show each com
petitor was required to do certain
things and answer certain questions,
says Parsons Weekly.
The ideal husband answered all the
questions and did all his tasks without
fail.
Are you the husband every wife
should have? If so:
Can you give the day of the week
you were married on and its full date?
Do you know when your mother-in-
laws birthday is?
Ghen you left for the office this
morning what kind of dress was your
wife wearing?
Can you say offhand what the mar
ket prices of eggs, butter, cheese,
meat and bread are?
Do you know the cheapest shopping
places in your neighborhood?
One of the tests the husbands had
was as follows: Ths wives stood behind
a curtain and placed one hand above
it. Each husband was required to pick
out his wife's hand. A good many
failed!
Do you make point of always
praising your wife when she has
cooked anything more daintily than
usual?
Do you tell her she's the best wife
in the world?
Have you ever acknowledged to her
that you are wrong and she is right
in any argument?
If you can answer these questions
satisfactorily then you can put your
self down as the perfect husband-ac-
cording to this interesting and in
structive test, at any rate.

Not a Sentimental Story.

Many years ago little boy was
having birthday party. In the midst
of the merrymaking he slipped away
from his young friends and went UP
garrett to hide in an old trunk. Twen-
ty years later he again went up gar
ret. There stood the same old trunk.
All, children, l do not blame you for
asking how in tunkett he could open
the trunk and find his own body in it?
He didn't. When he raised the lid
there was nothing in the trunk but an
old Powered waistcoat and six copies
of Hostetter's Almanac, all the tangi-
BILE assets that had been left by his
lamented Uncle Late, who had been
a vaudeville star.-Kansas City Star.

in addition to using her regular turn
for advancing one of her own balls. II
she fails to flip the ball from out OF
bounds, the other player receives two
fiips in her next turn. If Sall is
tipped on to or touches ball OF the
opposing player, the play constitutes
a foul. and the opposing player may
take any one of her balls, place it IN
the three-quarter circle (C) beneath
her basket, and have free flip Tor
the basket, in addition to using her
regular turn. The player getting her
five balls into her basket first wins.

Now, Boys. Altogether.

A man was about to be lynched by
a determined but considerable mob.
Before adjusting the moose the leader
inquired:
Would you like to say your prayers

mourners in their white robes walking
two abreast. each pair holding hand
kerchief. The Parsee accounts say
that the body is received by two beard
ed attendants at the entrance to the
towers, and that by them the shroud
is removed and then vultures do the
rest. This is probably what happened
that day
All | could note on this occasion was
sudden movement of the Vu,tures
in the palm trees. There seemed to
be hundreds of them. They paused
for minute on the outer edge of one
of the towers and then disappeared
within. In a few minutes they re-
appeared.
The Parsee method of disposing of
the dead is, perhaps. as the Parsees
say, more sanitary than the Christian
burial in the earth, or even than the
Hindu cremation. 1t meets the tenet
of their faith that fire. water and earth
are too sacred to be polluted. But
the western mind cannot become ac-
customed to it.
In conclusion, it may be said that
there are other New Year observ-
ances in India besides the New Year
of the Christians, Mohammedans. Hin
dus and Parsees. There is a Chinese
colony in Bentinck street, Calcutta, and
the Chinese there observe the New
Year as they do In the United States,
or in any other section of the world
in which thew are found.
