Women Who Fascinate Have Simply ' Developed the Art or Power of Putting Others "On Good * Terms With Themselves." 1 A vivacious woman writer seeking the secret of feminine fascination, fin/lc it in thn orf ni* nnnrnr cATTla WHTTi "uuo " x" "*v Vi fvnw ] pn have of charming others by putting , them, as a bluff Britisher phrased it, , "on ripping good terms with them- , selves." Is not this a characteristic ( r?f almost all those persons, men and ( women, whom we like the best and en- 1 joy the most? Do they cot, either by ( lirtifice or by instinct, endeavor to , iv??L*a thp npnnlo thpv mppt ftH?l that l"^"V V"V f I they amount to something, know something, have some excellence, attractiveness or interesting qualities, and thus put them on pleasant terms with themselves. The persons who are least adept at this or least inclined to try it are the self-centered, self-important people completely absorbed in their own affairs and not wise or wellbred in little worlds of which they are the centers, and may be said in a certain sense to revolve about themselves. This is a characteristic brought up from lower forms of life from which we are ancestrally derived and only in ' part outgrown. For most animals the . only concerns of the least importance are those which directly affect them- ' selves. They are egocentric. The things that touch them make up their worl# and they have no interests out- { side of that. More than any other animal the dog can sink his personality so to speak, subordinate himself and make his master's interests his own. Only infrequent individuals of other, species can or will do this. Hence dog? us a rule are more companionable for man than any other living creatures ' lu-low him in the evolutionary scale. But to return to human beings. Josephine was the most beloved and r?hjiriiiin<r woman in France because she took a genuine and kindly interest ' in ihe affairs of all with whom sh* i came in touch. She was outgoing, inclusive in her sympathies and thus < counteracted antagonism created by < Napoleon, who was .self-centered to i<n extraordinary degree. Not to multiply examples, does not experience teach all observant people that in seinessness lies the secret of charm? Are not the lovable peeple those whose love goes out spontaneously, or appears to? < Is not egocentricity, entire absorption , in themselves, a characteristic held in common by most of the people wh:> pet on one's nerves? Kind hearts are more than coronets, said Tennyson. "More attractive, therefore, than beauty or the brilliancy and glitter of Intellectuality is the drawing power of kindly consideration for others. Fascination is born of the heart, not of the mind; and whether instinctive or acquired, would seem to be the art of entering into the lives of others and putting them, as the Englishman said, on good terms with themselves.?Rochester Post-Express. j She Knew Better Anyhow. A certain small town, seven miles 1 from somewhere else, as the crow flies, boasted only two physicians, Doctor. Smith and Doctor Brown. There was considerable rivalry between the two ; knights of the pill and powder and i when Doctor Smith received a very; urgent call from a young farmer about; four miles in the country, he left an office full of patients, cranked up what has to be cranked up and was off. i When he arrived at the farmer's house he found that a three-year-old ! "farmer" had cut his finger. The doc- i tor was chagrined when he saw the j "serious" nature of the accident. He ; , thought of the office full of patients he ! had left and had visions of them walk- j ing in single file to the office of Doctor ; Brown. "It was very, very silly of you to call; me on this case," he said, somewhat testily, to the farmer's wife. 1 "I know it was, but Doctor Brown j was out." | , Strained His Telescope.

Draffin, of a Leslie, York County, has mad? a remtirkable -record in Corn Club work. ^ He has been a member of the York County Boys' Corn Club for four years, > and has been a county prize winner each year. Twice he has bean a second State prize winner. His article on "How I Select My Seed Corn in the Field, which is given below, makes i very interesting reading. t "One of the essentials of profitable c corn growing is proper selection of t seed. Stalks of the predominating c type in the row or field should be i chosen, if equally resistant and well- * eared as others. Get the form of 1 the ideal stalk well fixed in your 1 mind, and look for it. Remember 1 the type from year to year and don't * change unless you shduld change to ^ & different strain or seed variety.

I always try to select my seed corn from 1 the stalks standing wnere tney grow, as soon as ripe, and before the first ( hard freeze. I select ears from the 1 stalks that iiave produced the most 5 corn without having any special ad- * vantages, such as space, moisture or : fertility. The most important con- 1 sideration is to se'ect teed from those { plants which have the ability to fur- 1 nish the largest quantity of dry shelled corn.

The swelling roar of cheers outside nade the Little Man drop a paper ; eight on his ledger leaves and bolt o the nearest window, says Collier's Veekly. Down the street came the uard of honor, mounted police preeding some sunburnt regulars from . ur Mexican border, and behind them wung half a company of real French oilns. th*? sort that turned back the toche from Verdun and the Chemin es Dames. Short, quick stepping, teel built men of France they were, ,-ith keen, dark faces under the loping tam o' shanter headgear of the 'orps Alpin. rolling alonjs with their Joah's ark packs and bayonets set or action. The cheering actually eemed to sho^e the buildings hack roin the street. Long ago the Forum lust have welcomed thus the legion- : ries who had saved Roman civilizaion from the barbarian in those bitvr struggles through Gaul and Dacia. !very man's sleeves showed the stripes ' lint meant wounds, and his breast the lecorations that meant valor. "Tftey tuci maice one xeei so oia arui tseless and out of it," as the Little Ian tolrl his wife next morning. So e ground out the day's work with his ?eth- set hard, bought some more ; hrift stamps, took the first car for ome, spent the rest of the daylight ! ours in caring for his beans, pota- j ses and cabbage, got through a warare dinner and put in the evening elling Mr. McAdoo's pet bonds to . ome boss metal workers whom he ad met in tne lodge last winter. iiei- ] ing home at 10:50 p. m., he routed j ut that 1917 m.del straw hat, cleaned ! t up for another campaign, and some j ime later fell into bed as if it had i een a dugout. "If this gets much worse I'll learn i o knit," was his last waking thought, ' and if they want to keep me out of his war they'll have to put bolt:5! on j t." After all, things seen are mightier i hnn things heard, and the Little Man ; .nd Tennyson are both right. JEW YORK'S MAfJY MINERALS Astonishing Variety Is Known to Exist Beneath the Streets of American Metropolis. Everyone knows that Boston is a ?reat center of copper mining, and :hat New York is the center of all >ther mining industries of the coun:ry, but few realize that either of these :ities have opportunities to mine for mything except subways at home. It seems, however, that New York's extraordinary activities in the 'mining )usiness must have received their first mpetus not from Wall street, but from i varied experience gained in dealing rith thp rook of Mnnhfltfnn. More than 113 varieties of minerals ' iDd several kinds of gems have been onnd on the island, according tc Slectrical Experimenter. Aquama-' Ines weighing 1% k8rats have been !ound at Broadway and One Hundred ind Fifty-seventh street. The minng possibilities at Broadway and One tlundred and Seventy-sixth street are ilmost unlimited.

Facing the station on the sidewalk in front of her home in North Chicago i woman noticed several jackies ab uptly stop in their walk, come to at- ! tention and salute, standing thus for a :ouple of minutes.
