LOV.AN(P PlSOALITY. One. Explanatin of Why- the Ameri can People Are Beautiful. Personality is always -a mystery with ' its antithetically mingled elements in man and woman. I,O men have loved wrongly and known it, were perfectly aware of it-they only know also' that they were help less to avoid it. The desire of their lives has been gratifed, something has happened. What was there about George Sand, save perhaps pretty good eyes, to send such men as Alfred do Musset and Friedrich Chopin absolutely crazy? Nothing interesting, about her-even her unattractiveness en chanted by her constant smoking. Yet she could inspire the ''Prelude,'' which Chopin composed on seecing her approach in a garden in Minorea -the greatest piece of music ever compressed into a single page. Goethe' Gretchen, the little boir geoise, without apparent attractive ness, yet inspiring his mighty genius -,what is this mystery of man and wo man? The beauty of nations differs very much.' The Latins are less beau tiful than the Anglo-Saxons. The an gularity of the north uncharming person. Why? It has nothing what ever to do with race. The growth of the Hanseatic cities brought great wealth in north Germany. Money bags married money bags. The re sult was a people of severely plain aspect. There are not many bags in America, although there are many money bags in the hands of the few. The Americans are a beautiful race. The American is insulted if mention of dowry is made in his med ding arrangements. He marries be cause lie loves the woman and she him; hence the American people have become exceedingly beautiful. Then. the facilities for divorce presented in the United States are an inportant factor in the beautifleation process. Love is really at the bottom of it all -not money bags or race, but love. 'The French are always talking of '''amour, 1'amour!'' But. really there is no ''amour'' there at all , people generally talk most about what they haven't got or don't know. Yes, indeed, so rare is 1'amour" in France that it accounts for the decline in ,acial beauty of the Frenchwoman '-not in movement, for in movement she excels the world, but in face. Rome and Greece were ruined by treating marriage as a matter of busi ness.-Dr. Emil Reich iv a London Lecture. The Finest Mountain Resorts Are Found In Oalifornia. California has the highest moun tain in the United States, Mt. Whit ney, in Inyo County, 15,046 feet in height. It has also ten mountain peaks over' 10,000 feet high and som. of the finest water-falls in the world. These facts children learn in their ge orgraphies, but that California pos sesses the finest mountain r'esorts .is - not as generally known. The teachers Swho will attend the National Educa tional Association convention in San . Francisco next July will be able to~ enjoy California's mountain resorts at very small ex$ense. Pre-eminent among the great sights -in California, and, perhaps, the great est in the world, is Yosemite Valley. Much has been written about this great natu.ral wonder, but neither wvriter, bard nor historian has eve'r ' ,been able to do justice to this great . handiwork of nature, perched upon a lofty pedestal, the admiration of all beholders. The visitors who behold the giant cliffs and the great water falls for the first time become speech less with admiration. * There is no class of tourists or visi tors who wvill bprofit as much by visi ting 'this awe-inspiring spot as teach ers, who are sure to be impressed wvith the granduer -of the scenery, the like of which is not~ to be found anywvhere else on the face of the earth, and who wvill tell all about it to the children whom they teach in language better suited to the youthful minds than that 'in which tourists are apt to write. *Lake Tahoe, that wonderful sheet of water on the top of a high moun tain ridge, is one of the chief. attrac .tions and a favorite rjiountain resort of California. It would be futile to attempt a. description of .the numer ons and 'wonderful attractions which ~ .abound' on the shores of this meou ,tain lake. Volumes of description would scarcely give an adequate idea of what visitors can see within a few boaws around this great lake. Tah>oe 'Is in a class by -itself, and there- is no lake in the knowvn world that can'com ~pare with it. The mountain 'resorts of Shasta etmnty are' as interesting and luring tthe trdveler as jire the Alps of 8witserland, and Tyrol. It is in $lhasta whore the ,oranges ripen in *the shadow of the high peals, wl ieh are.co,ered with snow the entire year I The Santa Crito mquntains, whiel are but a short distance and withir easy reach of San Francisco, have nU morous resorts, which are greatly ap preciated by Californians an4 man others coming from a distance. The) are open all the 'year and the climatV and temperatture vary so little thal Christmas Day is as pleasant as thi Fourth of July. California is blessed with a great. .er number of ifleal mountain resort. than perhaps any other country o1 the 8aie size, in the whole world Right in the central part of Califor. nia and within a day's ride of Sat: Francisco there are more mountair resorts and mineral springs than at to be found in Austria, Bohemia, anil in the Black Foreste of Europe. Lake, Sonoma, Napa, Mendociin and parts of adjaccnt counties con tain mileral springs and healthful resorts with genial climate so abund. ant as to make them appear common place. Aside from the genial climate and pure atmosphere at an invigoratinq altitude, remote from the fumes tha arise from tlhe lowlands, California'f mountain resorts, with their ruggeI ridges, covered with sturdy timber moderate atmosphere, neither toc warm nor too cold, offer ideal induce. ments for a vacltion, givinl- healtf and strength to' the invali< and af. fording abundant pleasure and ocen. pation to the man and woman of lei. sure. Unlike older countries, Califor. nia's natural treasures have not beer .exploited to any etxent. The huntsman finds abundant gam< in -the mountains, into which only th< most ven$uresome sportsman has pen etrated. , Fishing in the great moun tain streams and in the lakes fllled with water so clear that the fisher. mai can see the bait at almost ani depth, is the most delightful sport im aginAble. :The tourist may find a greater va riety of health and pleasure resortE in the mountain ridges along th( Coast Range of California. than - he caln by travelling through the greatel part. of the United States and perhapF all through Northerii Europe. Special rates have been made sc that the teachers who will attend th( convention of the National Education al Association next July and thos who will come with them, shall b( able to see as many of these resortf at a very small expense and in ai short a time as possible. In no cast will the fare for the round trip ex ceed one and one-third of the singh fare, but may be less than that. . Watson's Magazine For May Watson's Magazine, New York, 15c. Readers who have often seen Thom as E. Watson accused of being a So cialist have an opportunity in th, May number of his Magazine to judg how utterly apart his ideas are fron those of a Socialist. He devotes sev' oral of his editorial pages to a splen (did review of Upton Sinclair's nov el entitled ''Thme Jungle,'' and, whil< availing himself of the oppor'tunit; to say much in favor of the book asa wvork of fiction, Mr. Watson take equal advantage of his opportunit; to showv the defects of Socialian Further lhe presents some sound opin ions on the question of schools an< colleges in an editorial entitled ''Comn mon Sense Education;?' and the Wat son whom so many know as a maste of, satire is in happy evidence in ai editorial about Clark Howell, calle< ''A Georgia Di-Dapper.'' Other am tieles are '"Tme Philadelphia Vigi lantos,'' by Reginald Wright Kaufi man; ''The Sdlution of the Railwva; Problem,'' by James B. Lloyd ; ''Com mon Sense,'' by WV. ID. Wattles ''Overe.apitalization of Railroads, by William D. Marks; ''What Lif Insurance Is,'' by A. L. Benson ''Bucket Shop Gambling,'' by Joh A. Boykin. The Watson short storie six in number and all of varied ir terest, are wvell worth reading. On in particular, ''Ruotions,'' by Chat Fort, stand(s out, b)eenuse it is such a: exception to the conventional mage zino story, and because it is a mos amusing commentary on certain socia conditions. Besides these readabi contents, Watson's Magazine provide also the customary departments , o which the most valuable are perhap ''The Eduentional Department'' an ''Home Department.'' His Reason.

''No 'm '' yelled Tommy promptly ~'''Cause if yer did the foist thin yer know along would come 'a blib zard an' make yer out a liar."

Clergymen are not always practi cal, but there are times when their advice is good. Here is the latest re garding a husband's rights: ''Sir,'' he said, as he strode into the clergyman's study, ''you are the man who tied the knot, I believe?'' ''I beg your pardon,'' said the cler gyman, looking up from his sermon. ''You performed the marriage cer eniony for me didn't you?'' '' Yes) certainly, Mr. Willings. What may ILask-'' ''Then you know what the rights of a liisband tlre?'' Why, yes, in a general way.'' 'And the rights of a wife?'' ''Of course." "Well, now, sir,' said the caller, drawing a chair up to the clergyman's desk and taking a seat, "has a wife a license to torture her husband?'' 'Certainly -not.'' I 'If she makes his life miserable lie has redress, of course?" 'Yes,-but I should advise-'' 'Never mind your advice now. We will cone to that later. My wife com plains that I don't shave often enongh. " ''Oh, that's a small matter.'' ''It is sir? Is it? Just wait. I informed her that that was my af fair, and then she told the children to cry when I kissed them, so she could say that, my rough, unshaven chin hurt them.'' ''That hardly showed a Christian 'Just wait a minute! Yesterday morning I found them playing with the cylinder of a broken music-box You know how that seems to the touch ?'' 'Certainly.'' "Well, she had taught them to call it papa's chin!'' Really, sir, I must admit "Now, wait till I'm finished. To day one of them got on my knee, passed his hand over my chin and called it 'pap's music-box.' Now, sir, I ask youl, i Christian man, and as the minister who tied the knot, what shall I do?'' ''et shaved,'' replied the clergy mnanl, softly, as lie returned to his work. The net earnings of the railroads are seven hundred millions of dollars -which means, says Senator Tillman, that once in every three years every dollar in the United States becomes a part of their net earnings. An Edgbaston (England) woman, who was summoned for annoying neighbors by blowing a whistle, said she had been hypnotized and blew it to call attention to the fact. Money may not bring happiness, but it's good enough to notice when it passes by. It is also, worthy of keeping when once you get your hand uponit. Wood's Evergreenm L.awn G~rass.
