Man Never Gets Old.

When is a man old? A woman is as
old as she looks, and a man is old
when ne quits looking. DR.. Osler's re-
marks were distorted until the popular
belief was established that a man at
sixty was ready for the chloroform
cone. From recent news 1t would ap-
pear more plausible that at that age
a man is ready for the ice cream cone,
being a mere child in years compared
to frolicsome, nonagenarians who
hurtled into telegraph briefs, the
New York correspondent of the Pitts
burgh Dispatch writes. Lately there
have been ninety-three-year-old
youths looking around the matrimoni-
al market and callow youths OF ninety
one quitting the bench to make room
for a mere infant Of eighty-seven.
Time was when a man at ninety re-
tired to the easy chair with cush-
ion for his equity foot, remaining
there in querulous grandeur to the
general evaporation of those who
had to wait on him. The modern man
of ninety or more, however, Is the
spriest of the xpry, being there" on

Sacred Treasure Of Armenia.
In the southern Caucasus, near the
meeting point of Persia, Russia and
Turkey, is situated the most treas
ured and sacred possession of the Ar
menian nation, the monastery and
cathedral of EchmiadEin, the Holy See
Of Armenian Christians, the heart of
the Armenian nation, and the source
of that strength which has held to-
gether and guided the Armenians
through centuries Of persecution, war
fare and massacre, says a bulletin OF
the National Geographic society. Ech-
miadzin is the seat Of the catholicus,
or primate, of the Gregorian Armenian
church,
Mount Ararat lies just to the south
of the venerable Armenian see. Here
runs the Russo-Turkish frontier, while
a few miles to the southeast lies Per-
STA. The monastery lies about 5000
feet above the sea, 40 miles north OF
Ararat. and IL miles west of Erivan,
the capital of the Russian government
in which It is situated. The Armenian
Rome is surrounded by massive, gray
mud walls, which inclose the mon
astery, the cathedral and an academy.
The buildings are arranged around a
great quadrangle, in the center OF
which stands the cathedral of st. Greg
DRY the illumination, church OF more
ancient beginnings than even far
famed Santa Sophia of Constantinople.
It has been the bulwark Of Christian
ity against the barbarians of Asia
since 800, and, though its fight has
been unusually severe. long and hero
&c, little is known Of Echmiadzin
among the peoples of tho West.
The library Of Echmiadzin is a
treasure store of Armenian documents
and literature, and on its shelves are
kept some remarkable manuscripts OF
the gospels, dating from the ninth
and tenth centuries. The monks main

GOOD OPPORTUNITY
TO EARN A LIVING
Chances for Success in farming
Better Than in Any other
Kind of Business.

Less than half Of the 1900, 000, 900
tillable acres in the United Statea are
under cultivation. Our foreign trade
in and home consumption of raw
materials are constantly increasing.
A man with some capital, plenty OF
hard sense and the ability to absorb
information should find in farming an
opportunity to earn good living In
healthful way.
The chances for success in this field
seem to be better than in any other
kinds Of business ventures where cir
cumstances are often too strong even
for the intelligent and industrious
man.

"HE SOIL of Armenia, land of
many miseries and massacres,
is drinking the blood of her
Christian martyrs again. To
the memory of the most of us
1t seems as il the Christian nations
have always been protesting against
Armenian butcheries by the Turks.
1t is a singular land, that in which
the Turks are putting so many men,
women and children to the sword. 1t
is land so old, reaching so far back
into the morning mists of history that
the earliest legends of the human race
point to it as the birthplace of man
kind. There rise the headwaters of
the River Euphrates, which flows on
through the Garden of Eden. Mount
Ararat lifts it's sublime head above the
plain of those massacres with the
same placid oblivion to human cries
and pangs that it showed when Noah's
Ark rested there.
The very village founded by Noah
and his family when they emerged
from the Ark is yet there, the Oldest
Inhabited town in the world.
The Armenian is the oldest branch
of Aryan stock on this earth. They
trace their descent back to Japhet,
grandson of Noah. That may or may
not be true, but certain it is that
from that land in the shadow of Ar
arat, somewhere in the region now
generally designated as Armenia, the
human race first began that process
of migration and development that has
led to the peopling Of every corner
of the earth. From Armenia began
the dispersion of the nations, and all
the legends of the early prehistoric
days point the finger back toward
that land at the headwaters of the
Euphrates and Tigris as the birth

Three of the wax candles, please
The little ones. Why do you hesitate?"
Mrs. Prescott. young, still beautiful,
although sorrow Swallowed her face
and her eyes looked dim and wearied,
almost reproachfully challenged the
faltering clerk in the little confec-
tionery and toy store. "As tell
you, / will pay for them and the cake
when ! get my pay, Saturday" she
added.
"Oh, 1t Is not that" declared the
girl behind the counter, indeed it is
not. 1t is because my heart is full Of
love and sympathy for you. My dear
lady, won't you try to forget?"
81 must never do that" replied the
lady in mourning in sad but even
tones. 1T is the little ones third
birthday anniversary. She was the
only ray of brightness that ever came
into MY life. With all the agony and
grief, her memory is sacredly sweet
to me-"
Without another word the girl placed
the three tiny candles in the package
containing a small frosted cake the
lady had ordered, but her tears were
falling and she vainly tried to stifie
sob.
BLESS you, DEAR" spoke now Mrs.
Prescott, gently do not think mo
morbid. 1t would be cruel for me to
forget little Airline"

the girl, pathetically, as her customer
departed. Poor SOUL Truly, her cup

Fresh Air Camp.

Editors Commercial, Union City: AT
ter your recent publication of the repor
from the ]. w. Thomas Fresh Air Camp
for Children near Crazy Hope, some %
miles west of Nashville on the NJ, G. &
st. L. r. R., allow me now to hand to
you the result of Flower Day collections
for the support of the children of that
camp, sum of 81, 900. The ladies
wanted $4,000, but failed to get that
amount, but the good people of Nash
vile are contributing as needed to that
cause.
In addition to that noble institution,
the United Charities of Nashville has a
great work on hand. That institution
is composed of noble men and women
but is run by the ladies, presided over
by Miss Fannie Battle, maiden lady,
with Mrs. Kirby and Mrs. Frank Beck
managers. They also have other ladies
to assist as they can get them. We of
the country and villages have no idea
OF the vast amount of work there is to
supply the demands of the poor and
suffering, the down and out of city life.
They have to answer and visit calls of
all kinds. Some are sick, with nothing
to eat and not able to work. The ladies
have to get up supplies and hunt them
up. Some have not been able to pay
their rent, perhaps sick, and must move
out and nowhere to go. The ladies must
beg money for rent and supplies for the
family, then hunt them up, and often
walk six, eight or ten blocks from the
car line to give relief. Some mothers
husband has deserted her and their sew
eral children, and no supplies and not
able to work. These ladies must hunt
her up, take the children either to the
Industrial School or to the Fresh Air
Camp and provide a home for the
mother. A call from the union depot
or police station to headquarters to
come or send for some poor girl there
without protection and nowhere to go
they must find her, learn from her why
she is there without her parents, then
send her home at the county's expense.
Sometimes the girl has the name of
some house of i'll fame (of which these
ladies all know. II she is under twenty
years old, and no marriage certificate,
the ladies either send her home or to
house of correction. The ladies get
from Judge Pollard,
county judge, and send all poor and
helpless home that they can.
We of the country should be con-
tented, as we do not have the response
oilities on us that those in the city have.
We have our poor, but there is always
work for them to do to make their liv-
ng; then our children are free from the
temptations Of city life. Oh, if moth
ers and fathers could just know of the
pitfalls in cities for young people, how
we would try to keep our chill
iren at home. If we could all hear
