During a recent conversation the theme turned on old ago. “Old age,” pously, “brings many experiences.’ | “Quite so," agreed the Juige, “and | to many experiences are apt to bring old age.” oe Miss Grace Goorge and her husband, | William A, Brady, bave gone from Londen to the Continent. In writing to a friend Mise George says that delighted with Bavaria and other jed so far, but that whe is haying no end of trouble with the languages. Since she has commenced to enjoy tne {resttulness of .her vacation sie has , developed considerable of an appetite, | but she says that ap appetite is one | take with one to the Continent unless oue i considerdvle of a linguist. There were just two articles of food Qliss George knew what to call for in Bavaria, beans and eggs, and of both Ora-|she says she has eaten so much wat soe never will have the courage to look a hen In the face again, and she never wants to hear of beans.

They wore not, passengers who had paid fin advance of courteous treatment., ‘The actor's story merits the closest investigation. If » it is false hé should be sued for heavy damages for voicing such a libel. If i¢ is true a mere civil suit is y insufficient punishment for the brutes who perpetrated $ OF permitted so inexcusable an outrage. NOT REALLY ‘WELL LOST.” ‘The latest chapter of the so-called “romance” of the Princess Chimay and Rigo the gypsy, adds one more ftem to the crushing weight of argument against that ancient maxim which declares “the world well lost for love.” Princess Louise of Saxony has added her quota © @o this mass of evidence, as have millions of less notable but perhaps more worthy women, Woman, says Kipling, is “long in learning.” But surely the countless “terrible examples” of the Chimay type should in time begin to impress on women the fact sone that true happiness is only to be found in the home of ¥ ‘her husband and In the respect of her friends. Not un- til she has voluntarily cast aside these bulwarks of bliss does she realize their true value and the futility of seek-| ing any adequate substitutes for them. The world may, in truth, be “well lost for love.” But the impulse which tempts a woman to discard home ties and to disgrace thos. who were once dear to her is not love. It is a species of insanity and should be treated as such, A STERN CHASE, The Sandfordites, who have been ‘chasing the devil" through New England, report that they have got his Satanic majesty safely headed for New York. The chase fs, at tast accounts, raging southward through Connecti- cut with the quarry still well in the lead. Almost any morning now waking Gothamites may expect to see the hue and cry dash down Broadway, Old Nick limping wearily toward the Battery in one last ef- fort to keep ahead of his pursuers. Satan, according to reformers, has many warm friends in Manhattan, and these partisans may be reasonably expected to strew the trall with red pepper, obliterate the cloven-hoof tracks! and in divers other ways delude the hunters. If after accomplishing their object the Sandfordites still have any left over onergy. their attention {s respect- fully called to the “'L” car hog, to the subway rubbish, to the exposed third rail, to the midnight plano-player nd to the man who asks: “Is it hot enough for you?” 30,COO TEACHERS IN BOSTON. ‘How would you like to be in Boston?

"THE MAN with BIKERITIS: “nay puise SEATS LINES A TRIP-HAMMER! OFF TO #UROPE AGAIN FoR, eo WHY DO THEY FALL IN LOVE‘ Some of the Countless Causes of Attraction. By Helen Oldfield. PRETTY face, a good figuro and, above all, the inde seribable “something” which Is denominated style; these are the qualities which in a woman appeal first to most men. They are, 50 to epeak, the balt whicy attracts, even though the hook which holds the fish may consist of deeper and more enduring charms. It 1s through the eye, usually, that first impressiona are made. ‘There are few men who are not more or len susceptible to beauty In woman, and that which they most admire js of the |snowy and striking kind, ‘The modest violet rarely holds her own against the rose, except with connolrseurs, and the pansy {s left to wither upon the stem, while the tullp and the poppy are plucked. Still, tastes differ. ‘Many men of many minds,” is the old saying. That which in lovely in one man's eyes may ¢ be indifferent or actually disagreeable to another. In Persia and Turkey womanly beauty 1s measured dy avolrdupols, and fair Georgians and Circassians are fattened like prize porkers for market. ‘The Chinese {deal calls for ale mond-shaped eyes and clu feet; the beauties o! Bengai blacken thelr teeth. while the princesses of West Africa elongate the upper Jip until {t hangs down over the point of the chin. Even among civilized peoples one man raves over golden locks and azure eyes, while another demands that “All that's best of dark and brigt Meet in her aspect and her eyes. “Alry, fairy Lillian” ts the etandard of beauty for Tom, * while Diok prefers women who, like Lady Jane, are ‘mas sive," and Harry succumbs to the charms of the Gibson girh with her tall and slender figure and graceful polse, says Holon Oldfield tn the Chicago Tritune. | Next to personal beauty, the gilt which 1s most attractive to men t# that of conversation, which gift Includes the facul- ty of making men talk and of listening with rapt attention ‘to what they say. This talent ts one which goes far in the making of rocial success. Men and women, also, for that matter, like to be entertained. ‘ However much a man may admire energetic and capable women, women who can meet him and even beat him on his own ground, he seldom or never likes them, still less is he apt to fall in love with such a one, The modern emancipa- tion of women has only intensified masculine admiration for the appealing type, the so-called womanly woman, ready al- ways to dolfer to masculine Judgment, confiding, dependent and beseeching only to be taken care of. Few and far de- tween are the mom who have any desire to marry women who are intellectually thelr superior, and the assumption of such superiority, especially, is never forgiven. The woman who has more brains than her lover must sit at his feet and at least pretend to learn of him. When she wishes to influence him she will, if wise, make great show of consulting ard of being ruted by ‘him, * Love js like Ughtning In that no one can predict with’any degree of assurance where it will strike, Experienced read~ ers will readily agree that never th any grade of life did they know a social circle of any size in which there was not a¢ least one couple, if not more, whose marriage was a con- tinual puzzle to all their acquaintance, : The woman who can laugh and make others laugh with her, even under difficulties, has learned one of the great se- crets of life. She will always be popular, and if her rhirth be of the harmless, cheery sort she will be loved as well. For 4 cheerfulness ts, next to tact, the best lubricating olf for the domestic and social snechines of the world. Yet, whatever may be sald, Yalling in love 1s one of the mysteries wiich admits of no rule for solution. Men should choose thetr wives as they do their gloves and shoes, to sult themselves, The result may be a misfit, perhaps, but it J” sure to be one if the choice ts made by proxy. VERY OLD-FASHIONED MONEY. “Gold, silver and copper are not tke only commodities that bave been used as money," says George C. Evans in hie “History of the Mint.” “Tin was used in ancient Syracuse and Britain; iron in Sparta; cattle in Rome and Germany; platinum in Russia; lead in Burmah; nails in Scotland; still in China; cubes of pressed tea in Tartary; salt in Abyssinias laves among the Anglo-Saxons; tobacco in the earliest settlements of Virginia; codfish in Newfoundland; bullets and wampum in Massachusetts; logwood in Campeachy; sugar in the West Indies, and soap in Mexico. Money of leather and wood was in circulation in the early days of Rome, and the natives of Slam, Bengal and some parts of Africa used the“brilliantly colored cowry shell to represent value, and some travellers allege that it 1s still in use in the remote portions of the last-named country. But thé moneys of all civilized nations have been for the g:eater part made of gold, silver, copper and bronze.” “AS A MAN THINKETH.” ‘They tell me I am poor, and pity me, ‘Because with worldly goods I'm not endowed; But while I have two eyes with which to see The birds that nest in yonder swaying tree, And to listen to their warbled melody I am allowed; ‘While the perfumes of a thousand flowers rise Like Igcense ‘round my humble cottage door, And as jong as God's grand sunsets glad my eyes And every weary longing satisies Until I feel no need of Paradise, I am not poor.
