WOMEN i -c^rt? Nature and Com: Much for y St. Louis I have always entertained a great sympathy for the man who sought, and sought in vain, the fountain of perpetual youth. Of course, he was on the wrong track, but his ignorance does not condemn him. You know our wisest teachers have always la bored to teach us how right it is to have respect for the motive; provided, the motive is good. i Had that fountain, that the explo- j rer hoped to find hidden away io a tangle of vines and flowers in the sun ny Southland, been located, and its waters been as magic as he dreamed they were, there would be a page or two less of the history we now have because there would be no record of his fruitless wanderings, and his death, maybe, for youth is a brave combatant of death. But the fountain of youth was not found. No gushing waters have ever come dashing up from hidden springs, which we might drink or bathe in, and never, never, show wrinkles or gray hairs or walk with the stoop or the limp that often belongs to age. It might have been truly discourag ing for the explorer when he failed to find his spring. It was hopelessly discouraging. Now, if he had lived in this day and age there would have still been left him the hope of keep ing passably fresh looking and supple by taking to physical culture, or riding a bicycle, or even applying a face lotion, or a "harmless" hair dye. For it is very hard nowadays to tell "where nature ends and art steps in." Women are the most persistent . seekers after the fountain of youth, and have been for many years. In the long ago men may have been just as ambitious in that direction-and maybe they still are-but they say less about it, or pursue their quest with less noise. Not that a woman means to proclaim her dislike of ap proaching age, but she does so, never theless, in a thousand little ways. The modern man and the modern woman are wiser in their quest for youth than were the older-time men and women. Art is still employed yes, and who will say that this should never be so?-and yet nature is the main dependence and stronghold; Fresh air, fresh water and exercise is the up-to-date watchword. When women wore shoes too thin to walk in and laced so tightly that fainting was ? common, and "chest expanding" was unheard of, the woman of 30 was quite passe, unless she was married and then she took quite a "back seat," and sometimes sighed and told about more than half regretfully what she did "when she was young." Try to get the modern woman under 40 to say that she is anything but young! and, indeed, even long beyond that age, she will not admit the fact that her youth is over, whether she is maid or wife, and she is right. You will seldom, anyway, guess that she is j as old as she really is. and often when she confides in you the date of her birth you will not believe her, though she does not wear a wig or "touch up" her hair. Iadeed, the gray hairs may show very plainly for aught she cares. But her hair is clean ind well kept and as fluffy as any girl's. Her face is smooth and pink and only after careful looking, can you discover a few wrinkles. There is no pensive droop to her mouth to bring deep and disagreeable looking lines, and her eyes are not sad and dreamy, but J sparkle with good nature, and happi ness. If art has anything to do with the freshness of her appearance, as I have said, it is decidedly hard to tell "where nature ends and art steps in," and I for one will not blame the wo man who turns a bit to art when na ture has wearied of being generous. I might add to the popular beauty prescription of fresh air, fresh water and exercise, good nature and chari tableness. A bright woman has said that she thinks there should be an eleventh commandment and that it should read: "Thou shalt not meddle in other folks' business," and that she would particularly impress this upon the giri child long before she makes her debut in the social world, but that if she could not begin with the girl child she would still not be discouraged, but have copies of it printed like "tracts" and scatter them broadcast. You may think that this good eleventh commandment and a woman's youthful looks have very little bear ing one upon the other, but break this commandment or continue to if you have been in the habit of doing so, and see how soon age will take advan tage of your disobedience to trace his telling lines. It is so well for a woman to learn as she goes through the busy world with its ups and downs that she cannot direct thc affairs of a dozen people or institutions and look after her own successfully at the same time. While it is not well nor generous for a wo \ND AGE. mon Sense have Done Womankind. man to be self-centered, she must still not confound interest, simple and honest, and the most common and disagreeable of tendencies to meddle. I know two women whose particular mission in life seems to be to visit orphan asylums. Both, I know, are about the same age. One wears her hair very straight and severe, and the j other wears hers becomingly flutfy. One says it is ;'worldly" to wear very modish bonnets, and the other insists upon her milliner making hers very fetching. One wears gowns that may be quite out of style for all she cares, and the other's have a nice little air about them. One looks ao the little feet to see if shoes and stockings are j. warm enough, and if they seem too thin or worn she sends out a box of new ones. The other talks about "reforms." and declares the lax man agement of the "Institution" (she al ways says institution, with a capital I) is simply shocking, and that the good little matron is not firm enough, and should not allow the children to frisk in and out of their little beds-after the manner of children-when the clock has chimed 8. Now, one of these women is chari table and the other meddlesome. Can you guess which is which? Oh, yes, I know it is not particularly respect ful to call any woman who visits or phan asylums meddlesome, but some body is bound to do it sooner or later, and so I might as well be first. And, besides, I am only giving an object lesson. I am ambitious to add to the art of staying young and good to look upon, and I have discovered that many a wrinkle is added by the persistent desire that some women indulge in of having the whole world run by their own methods. Men and women do not marry as young in these ending days of the century as they did in its early days. There, you see, is a very practical reason for both desiring to keep youthful in looks and ways. It has been pointed out before, so the fact is by this time pretty well absorbed, that the novelist has advanced the age of his heroines. "Sweet sixteen" only answers now for the lightest sort of fiction. "Sweet sixteen" is very j sweet, indeed, but somehow those of us of to-day would rather think of "sweet j sixteen" in the schoolroom and very I innocent and girlish, indeed, than mixed up in the affairs of the heart and of the world that try the souls of men and women. How much we owe to the novelist for the vanishing of woman's age it would be hard to tell, but certain it is that Du Maurier, by his determined portraying of tall women, made tall women the fashion, and statistics show that women are really taller now than they were a generation ago. May be if we persist in calling women young that we will find that the foua tain of perpetual youth has really been discovered. But joking aside, isn't it really very nice to look about and lind a health ier, happier and more youthful appear ing lot of men and women than one used to see? The woman is wise who refuses to call herself old, but she must remem ber that when her first youth has real ly past dignity and seriousness be come her better than flippancy and frivolity. There is strength and beauty in mature womanhood, and nothing in manner or dress should bc allowed to dim it. If you are a woman, and find when you look in your mirror that your face is certainly not as fresh and fair as it used to be, make these two resolves to take better care of your health than you ever have before, and to carcfuliy rub out all the little lines night and morning with the very best cold cream that is in the market, for "'nc ^ood and you'll be beautiful" is not wholly true. It needs another little clause to make the sentence read: "Be good, and healthy, and well-kept and you'll be beautiful." MARGARET HANNIS. How Long he Would Wail.

Sold by 12 van s Phar macy, i Wood Says Cuba Needs a big Army. j WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-Gen. Leon ard Wood, military commander of the Department of Santiago, was before the Senate Committee, on military af fairs to-day. He gave a detailed account of his operations in the province and in the city of Santiago, and also gave his esti mate of tile military force necessary to maintain order in the islands. On the latter point he expressed the opinion thai for some time the 7,500 men now in the province of Santiago should be continued, but that after a time 5,000 would be sufficient for the service. lb; considered, however, that a military force would be necessary to the main tenance ol' order for some years and said that it should be sufficient effec tually and quickly to check any trouble before it could gain headway. This remark applied to the island as a whole, and be thought as many as 50,000 troops should be stationed throughout Cuba. With proper pre cautions and tact he did not anticipate! trouble as he believed that the insur gent; forces would rapidly disintegrate in all parts of the island. Santiago has been a great stronghold of the Cuban insurgents under Garcia, but they had now practically disbanded. Speaking of Santiago City, be said that thc collections, mainly from cus toms, have been sufficient to pay all legitimate expenses and leave a balance of $230,000, which he meant to devote to cleaning out thc harbor. This har bor, he said, had an accumulation of 10 feet of tilth, and with this remove 1 bc believed the city would be as healthy as any American city. -?rn ? ? Preparing for Illness. WASHINGTON, January 20.-Surgeon Geueral Sternburg has just returned to Washington from an inspection of the United States military camps in Cuba. His purpose was to see that every ar rangement is made for thc protection of the health of our troops garrisoning the island before the expiration of the ; present dry season. He summed up the results of Iiis trip as follows: "I find the sanitary condition of troops now stationed in and near Ha vana, Matanzas and Pinar del Rio to be very good. At present there is very little serious sickness, but medical officers generally apprehend that there will be it very considerable increase in the amount of sickness as the unhealthy season approaches, and strenuous ef forts are being made to prepare for a large number of sick in case the mili tary situation makes it necessary to retain a considerable body of troops in Cuba during the summer months. Two Miserable Sinners. At a revival in Rock Hollow, Dea coa Budd arose to "relate his experi ence," and gave himself a very hard name, and so did everybody else, that he did not deserve the half of it. But it was a style for thc saints to give themselves a setting down for the benefit of sinners, and Brother Budd played it for all he was worth. "Yes, brethren and sisters," he said, in conclusion, "I'm sech a pore, mis'able sinner that it's a wonder the Lord has mercy on mc, and lets me live. I feel as if I hain't no business in sech a meeting as this, and my place is a comer behind thc door." Sister Briney, who was" a widow, aod suspected of a fondness for the widower, Deacon Budd, arose and fold j her story, and a sad one it was. There j had 'never been such au utterly un worthy object, such a continual mon ument of mercy, as Sister Briney, if her showing up of herself was to be taken for truth. "les, brethren and sisters." she said, at the windup, "I'm such a poor, j mis'able sinner, that it's a wonder I'm j allowed to stand here. 1 feel as if ! my proper place is behind thc door : along with Brother Budd.-'-Travel era Magazine. - The less fighting a man does the more he is going to boast of his pow ers iu after years._' Catarrh ] to Cons A Forerunner of the Mostj Fatal Disease.

Specific Company, Atlanta, Ga. WON IN SPITE OF ORDERS. The Old Man Did Not Plead With Ahraham Lincoln In Tain, Colonel Koch of Chicago, a veteran of the civil war, tells an anecdote in the life of Abraham Lincoln as related to him by Schuyler Colfax. One day, on his way to the executive mansion, Colfax came upon an old man just outside the capitol grounds, look ing go dejected and miserable that thc genial speaker stopped and spoke to him. The old man hedged for aid in getting an audience w:th tho president, as so far all his efforrt; had been un availing-and added that it was a case of life and death. Colfux, moved by tho old man's distress, brought bim, trem bling with conflicting hope and fear, directly into the great aud kindly pres ence. Without wasting a moment upon preliminaries, the petitioner plunged in to the heart of his trouble-au old story now grown sadly familiar to the presi dent's ear. Briefly, bis son bad been sentenced to death for having slept at his post. He had relieved a sick com rade the night before, and overworn nature had succumbed. Lincoln listen ed, all tho kindness of his great heart reflected in his eyes, but he had already issued so many pardons for this offense that it was beginning to have a de moralizing influence upcu a most im portant part o? the serv es, and con gress bad thought best to give the pow er of confirming the death sentence di rectly to the generals in cl:;.rge. In this particular case, too, Butler had written the president strenuously rj.rging him to turn a deaf ear to any one pleading for the offender's pardon, an the discipline of his army absolutely required an ex ample. With a troubled air, therefore, Lin coln said: "My good sir, 1 would give anything I possess for the power to help you. ?ut tho president himself is pow erless here. I am under orders not to issue another pardon for th is particular offense. Too much dependa upon the vigilant sentinel. I sympathize deeply with your sorrow, but must refuse your request." "So that ia all the president of the United States can do for rae?" faltered the old father. "All," replied Lincoln. The old man stood motionless in the deep silence that followed tho presi dent's ultimatum. Then, taking a step forward, he said: "The president of the United States bas done his doty. Now, I want to hear from Abe Lincoln. Put yourself in my place, your son in my son's place. Then what would you do?" After a minute of intense thought Lincoln's face took ou au expression of radiance as be exclaimed: "Butler or no Butler, here goes!" And seizing his pen ho rapidly wrote two duplicate orders, handing one to the petitioner, who read: "Sentence in case of Private-of-regiment is not to be executed until further orders from the executive office." "This," said the broken hearted fa ther, "only postpones the agony. If the boy must be shot, the sooner it is over the better." "My friend," said Old Abe, taking him by the hand, "if your son doesn't die until further orders for bis decease are issued from this executive office he will live to a green old age."-Chicago Inter Ocean. The Ladder on the Chimney. Slender iron ladders are often seen at tached to great smokestacks, and espe cially to big, lofty firebrick lined stacks of iron. Sometimes in the case of twin iron chimneys standing close together a light spiral stairway is run up bewteen them to the top, serving the purpose of a ladder aud being moro convenient. It doesn't cost very much to build in a ladder as the chimney goes up, and there is then in placo a permanent and convenient means of getting at any part of the chimney, inside or out, for any purpose. Brick chimneys are sometimes lined with firebrick, aud they aro also sometimes built with a space between tho flue and the outer structure. If for any reason it should bo desired to get at the interior of a chimney, tho ladder affords a ready und convenient means of access to thu top, from which a mau enu bo lowered iii a bos'n's chair. In tho case of chimney caps, built perhaps of a number of pieces, the ladder gives a,convenient means, already in place, for getting at the top of tho chimney for any repairs that may bo uocessary. The more common uses of tho ladder, however, are those to which it is prim arily devoted on iron chimneys, upon which it it) most commonly found-to mako more convenient the periodical inspection of the chimney and to make tho chimney easier of access for its regu lar painting.-Now York Sun.
