A
REALLY NO SECRET!
Power to Charm Lies in Forgetfulness
of Self.
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.
The oldest inhabitant of Little ,
UocKieton possesses a telescope wnicn
he never uses. j <
"Why don't yon make use of it sometimes,
James?" a neighbor asked. j
"It used to be a good 'n," James
said sorrowfully, "b^t it's broke now."
"Broken?" the neighbor asked.
"How's that?"

ROW TO SELECT SEED I!
nnn^i m rur nnn I
uumi in i fie naujj
Columbia.?James W. 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 dont wait until all the corn is *
in the crib to select my seed for next *
year's planting. If you do, you will I
fail in the crop. The ttandipg plant 1

the selected ears have cozae from good 1
stalks. I always try to be sure to get *
plants that grow not less than two or ^
not more than three good ears to the 5
stalk, and not more than half-way up '
the stalk. I select the well-filled ears, c
not too large nor too small, but me- (
dium size, and sound. The shuck ^
should be loose on the grain and
should have a wholesome look. 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. Early maturity is a desirable
quality, and so are short, thick, wind- i
firm stalks; top-heavy ones with ears ; *
born* too high are likely to mean '
losses. : *

lliftREB EY GREAT rAKADE
flary Will Think Thai the Little Man
Was a Trifle Unjust to His
Own Importance.
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. Green tourmaline
jems, magnetite and iron ore, chalropyrite,
malachite, pyrrhotite and a
rrystal form of nickel have been
!ound there. !

Uther minerals to De naa on tne>
sland are zincite, used in the rnanu'acture
of perikon detector, roeblingite,

They Don't Have to See the Flag.
vvnen one is as patriotic aiiu re-,
spectful to the flag as a Great Lakes
bluejacket is the colors can be heard
jven when not seen.
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. On several occa-,
sions she noticed this and finally her
curiosity made her ask the reason
:hereof. i
"Colors," replied a sailor.
"But where do you see the flag?"
isked the lady. '
"I can't see it," was the reply, "but

?he usual number of rifles used in a

o Clemenc-eau trying to influence him
