Artists Who Are npeeullar.r

There are in this country number
Of men who sacrifice beauty Of color
for popularity Of color-to announce
to the world their Individuality" that
they are here, on the map of the earth,
writes F. W. Ruckstuhl in Art World.
They 60 either to the anemic and
bloodless, or to the redhot and vulgar,
or to the neutral and leaden, or to the
shocking and caoplonic color-to Gre
ate notoriety bringing sensation. Be-
cause they know that the newspaper
and magazine art writers-who need
one sensation per week-will advertise
their work and annex them as fruitful
sources of mutual profit Such vulgar
color mongers the layman can ignore,
for their fate is settled in advance.
They begin to pass into oblivion as
soon as they are born, like will O. the
wisps. The very constitution Of the
human mind and soul insures that.

EDUCATION OF THE STREETS
Children With Poor Environments
Stand Low In Higher Forms Of In
teIligence, Tests Show.

It is a common belief that the chill
dren of the poorer classes in large cit
les acquire a certain amount Of valua-
BILE education by running the streets.
Actual tests usually indicate, however,
says the Journal of Heredity, that such
children stand very low in all the high
er forms of intelligence, and this might
have been suspected from an examina-
ton of the environment In which they
are brought up. Association with old
er people Is one of the most important
factors in a childs education; but in
the poorer classes the dwellings are
so small that a child must spend most
of his waking hours outside, and no
where does he come In close contact
with many older persons of ability.
No matter how much one may adj
mire the development of modern indus
trial society, he can hardly believe that
1t offers full and rich environ
ment In which child may unfold"
If a child had inherited ability land
many of the children who roam the
streets have not) 1t could hardly be
called into full play by the stimulus
Of modern city street which, COM
pared with the country, offers little
for child to do. Much has been said
of the evils of child labor, but under
modern city conditions 1t is conceiva-
BILE that child idleness may sometimes
be equally injurious.

PERslANs FOND or sHERBET
Much Time Is Devoted to Preparation
Of Beverage, Of Which There Are
Many Varieties.

The great beverage In Persia is
sherbet, which is plentifully supplied
and Of which there are many varieties
from the bowl of water. with a
squeeze of lemon to the clear concen-
trated juice Of any sort of fruit to
which water is added to dilute It..
The preparation of sherbet, which Is
done with greatest care, Is very inn
portant point In so thirsty country
as Persia, and one to which much time
Is devoted. 1t may be either expressed
from the juice of fruit freshly gath
cred or from the preserved extract of
pomegranates, cherries or lemons,
mixed with sugar and submitted to
certain degree of heat to preserve
1t for winter consumption.
Another sherbet much drunk is
called guzangebben; 1t is made from
the honey Of the tamarisk tree. This
honey is not the work of the bee, but
the product of a small insect or worm
living In vast numbers under the leaves
of the shrub. During the months Of
August and September the insect is
collected and the honey is preserved.
When used for sherbet 1t is mixed with
vinegar and, although not so delicious
as that made from fruit, 1t makes an
excellent temperance beverage. Only
among the rich and fashionable are
glasses used; in all other cases sher-
bet is served in china bowls and drunk
from deep wooden spoons carved In
pearwood.

Thinking.

Thinking is quite easy when you
know how. 1t is true that few of us do
it. Most of us allow our minds to
dribble, to meander aimlessly about
along lines of least resistance, like wa
ter that has trickled over Mississippi
levee and gone here and there about
the flats, getting muddler and muddier
until it soaks into the lush earth or Is
evaporated into the thin air. That is
what most of us call thinking. The
mind that works that way gets no
where; it never accomplishes any
thing; It's owner is merely fiotsam on
the stream of life.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

HOW LONG SHOULD
 BEAUTY LAST?

College Boy writes: "I am l9 and deeply in love with the prettiest girl in all the world. She looks like some of the heroines you wrote of in your books-b1ue eyes, golden hair, conn pIexion all her own is simply perfect. Add to this a fine figure, slender ana willowy. Her parents are both very ordinary in appearance.
 "My friends are not in favor of our courtship and say if I marry her 1 will surely rue it, and that she won | retain her beauty for any length of time after marriage. I'd dread seeing her resemble either of her parents. How can I be sure she would keep pretty?"
 If you are marrying the young girl for Ter fair face and willowy form,- YOU had better balk this side Of the altar than the otI CT side of 1t. NO one can insure beauty. Sickness, sor- row, cares, will mar the most beautl- full woman's appearance; then again if shielded by loving care, the beauty which you so adore; may finger Wltn her far into middle life. Beauty, however, can never bring perfect hap piness unaided There must be re- union of hearts and mutual love to make the tie binding. l would sug- gest that you defer proposing mar riage for a couple of years, at least You can judge far better by tha time if your is a serious love affair-or has been only an infatuation from which you are rapidly recovering.
