"We all say that we'd like to be young again, but I doubt if we really mean it," says HIarwy Sutherland in Ainslee's. "\'d like to have as good health as we had when we cast our first vote. and we'I like it it we didn't have to visit the dentist so often and so expensively. But if it came to the point that the genii bounced out be fore us and sulkily growled: 'What is your wish? I will obey, I and the oth er slaves of the lamp,' I faney we should study quite awhile, with many a 'Why-ah, let me see now,' before we plucked up the courage to blurt out. 'Make me twenty-one again.' "Because, you know, you haven't any too much sense now, with all your experience of the world, and if you were twenty-one again it would have to be in mind as well as in body. The mind is what the body is. It seems a terrible price to pay for a new set of teeth and an undiscriminat ing appetite. What? To walk again that weary, tortuous road; to discover again how many kinds of a fool and a failure ona can be, and not half try either; to have to take over again all those ternis of old rrofessor Experi ence? IIuh-uh! Not for me. You may if you like. Even if I could start anew with what I have learned of lIfe, which would come far short of what I should really need, it seems to me that it would be a bore to have to sit through the performance again. I suppose if ever there was a success ful man, a lucky man, it was Martin Luther, and yet when the electress of Brandenburg wished him forty more birthdays he told her he would sooner give up every hope of heaven he had than spend forty years more on earth. To be sure, he would have had to spend them in Germany, but that's a detail." EPIGRAMS IN DIALOGUE.

The Way One Art Treaxure Was Res-. cued From Oblivion. Few chapters in the world's history are nore curious and interesting than that which deals with the fortunes of its art treasures. In the cathedral at Montreal- is. or was a few years ago, a large piece of tapestry which had been discovered in a back street of a New England town. The story is told in 'Mrs. Silsbee's "Half Century of Salem." One day a certain 'Mr. Miller passing through Derby street saw a woman beating clouds of dust from a carpet. Something peculiar in its appearance made him stop and look closely at it, when he discovered, to his astonish nent, that it was a splendid piece of tapestry, with life sized figures wrought from Raphael's cartoon, "Feed -My Lambs." The woman was quite willing to tell how she obtained it. It was, in fact, a standiLg grievance to her. Her husband was a sailor, and when he went out on one of his voyages she had begged him to bring her a carpet for her best room. As it happened, he did not visit a port where he could buy a carpet, but rolled up In a little shop on the quay at Malta he had found the tapestry and purchased it, thinking it might answer the purpose. It was too large for the room, and the woman had to turn a big piece under. She folded the piece back, revealing part of the superb border of fruit and flowers, wrought in silk and gold thread, as fresh as when it was first worhed. But the owner eyed it with contempt. She neyer did like the queer lActare thing, she declared. It was the opportunity of a lifetime. Mr. Miller promptly offered her the choice of any carpet in the stores in exchange for her "queer picture thing," and the woman as promptly accepted the offer. They went down town together, and she sel-cted, with unbounded delight, a hidekas pattern of glowing reds and greens. Her face was full of triumph when she re turned. The best room at last was to have a carpet that was a carpet! It is safe to say that no bargain ever gave more complete satisfaction to both parties than the one made, that morning in Derby street, Salem. A GREAT WORRY CURE. Common Sense Is the Best Remedy That Can Be Prescribed. I once asked a physician what cure he could suggest for the worrying hab it. "I would prescribe common sense,' he said, "and if a man or woman hasn't got a stock on hand and cannol cultivate one the medical man is pow erless." This worrying nonsense grows The best means to cure it lies in the hands of the woman herself. If she will just call a little hors( sense to her aid, resolve not to borroi trouble, to be cheprful and think upo the right side of things, she will liv( longer and be able to retain her beauty Every woman has the strongest desir to keep her good looks. Why, then does she take the course which is sur( to make her yellow skinned, dull eye and thoroughly unlovely? The Englishwoman is greatly ad mired for her utter refusal to worry 01 to be worried. Consequently she look! young at fifty. Undertaking no more than she can comfortably carry ou and firmly believing in the coming oj another day, she does not procrasti nate, but simply will not let the domes tic machinery grind her down to 11 health and an early old age. She Is a frequent bather and regardi health as the prime factor of life, to bi looked after before everything else She sleeps nine hours and also takes nap during the day, arranging he: work in the most systematic manner. Her little memorandum slip alwayl shows two vacant hours-they are fo: rest. She eats heartily, but of the mos digestible food, and would rather hay a mouthful of good food and go parti: hungry than cat a whole meal o cheaper things.-Phladelphia Inquire VIRCHOW AND HIS WAYS. Herr Professor Was Blunt, but B Once Met His Match. The late Professor Virchow was, I his own country at least, almost a famous for his excessive bluntness c speech as for his very remarkable mer tal attainments, says the Philadelphi Press. Often he spoke so unfeelingl, to the students'who sat under himi the lecture rooms that they have bee known to leave his classes and not rt turn. According to Ucrlin tradition one of the professor's favorite replie to a wrong answer to one of his quel tons was: "Certainly not. Any cook woul know better than that." On the other hand, he seemed to aj preciate the spirit in some of his sti dents which pronipted them to answc him back in very much his own ton< Once when he was presiding in a ver old and faded suit of clothes he turne suddenly upon a seemingly bashfi man sitting near him and asked: "Do your eyes tell you the truth What color is this coat of mine?" Without an instant's hesitation tb young man rose and said: "I presun it was once black. Now It is any cok except white." That student was passed. STOPPED THE STORM. The Snow W.1as a Little Too Hcai to Suit the Actor. "Mechanical devices are now mac wonderfully real on the stage," sai the old stock actor. "It hasn't been many years ago since even the simp -device of devicting a snowstorm wt regarded an achievement. I remiemb on one occasion I wa~s out with a cot pany lahying repertoire and in 0: m elodrma-I don't even now reef Sthe mime-I took the part of an ol man whose dlaughter, the heroine, hri *been abducted.

It Is to Business and Society Whi Oil Is to Machinery. If young people, especially in small towns, would form "courtesy clubs" o graft this Idea upon existing organiza tions, it would result in great advan tage not only to the young people be longing to such associations, but alsc to the towns themselves. We find a great many men and wo men side tracked all along the path ways of life because they were noi taught the value of good manners and of a fine, gracious courtesy in thel: youth. The result is that they hav grown up hard and coarse and repul sive in manners and have not been ablh to win favor or attract trade or busi ness. In other words, their bad man. ners and repulsive ways have kep1 them back and handicapped their ca reers. It is astonishing how fine manner and politeness in children develop int( ease and attractiveness in manhoo and womanhood. Other things beIn; equal the employee who is selected foi advancement is the one with good man ners, a fine. gracious demeanor, a gooe presence. These qualities are the besi kind of capital, even better thai money. Everywhere we see young men an young women drawing big salariej largely because of their superior polite ness. The fine mannered are wante everywhere as superintendents, ai salesmen, as traveling representatives as clerks, as private secretaries or a credit men. In fact, agreeable deport ment is the one indispensable qualit, sought after everywhere. There is nothing else which will si quickly open the door to opportunities to society, to the hearts of all. Courtesy is to business and societ: what oil is to machinery. It make things run smcothly, for it eliminate the jar and friction and the nerve rack Ing noise.-Success. Mere Maiden Timidity.

In the middle of the Colorado desert, a little to the north of the Mexican border and 264 feet below the level of the sea, lies a field of crystallized salt more than a thousand acres in extent, presenting a surface as white as snow ard beneath the noonday glare of the sun so dazzling that the naked eye cannot stand its radiance. It stretches away for miles and miles about Salton, Colo., an ocean of blazing, blistering white. Here daily throughout the year men are at work overturning the great de o posit with massive plows and scrapers, getting it into great piles preliminary to putting it through the refining proc- i ess. The salt plows used to secure the harvest are great four wheeled Imple ments driven by steam and managed by two men. The salt crust is thrown up in parallel ridges; then laborers with hoes work it to and fro in the water, washing out the dirt prelim inary to stacking it in mounds to be taken to the mill. L Salt springs in adjacent foothills are constantly contributing to the deposit, and so heavily laden are they with al most pure salt that the plow has hardly passed on before a new crust has formed in the furrow left. This fact . renders it unnecessary to operate more than a small portion of the vast de posit. As may be supposed, work in these fields is performed under the most try - Ing conditions. No white man can r stand the intense heat, and for this reason the work is done wholly by ) Japanese and by Coahuila Indians. Of these the Indians are by far the better adapted to the work, the Japanese per forming only one portion, sewing the sacks in which the salt Is shipped. The s atmosphere, laden as it is with parti cles of salt, gives rise to a painful thirst, and the only available drinking water comes from a single welL It is warm and ill tasting. Beautiful mirages frequently appear above the great salt field in the day time, sky pictures of magnificent cities and flower dotted, tree shaded fields. I The moonlight, too, produces won drously beautiful effects upon the t great field of gleaming salt. For sev eral weeks in the year the thermome 0 ter on the salt field averages 140 de grees, and the reflection of the sun produces a glare like that from a fur nace. The deposits vary in thickness from ten to twenty Inches and form a solid crust over the great marsh. It is estimated that about 700 tons are - now plowed up daily.-New York Trib Iune.

Few persons have any idea of the prodigious quantity of lava and hot ashes which a volcano in a state of eruption can vomit in a few hours. The matter which was discharged in 1G0 from Mount Etna and which threatened to overwhelm Catania forms a mass the extent of which has been estimated as being not less than 1,000, 000,000 cubic yards. From the immense crater of Kilauea, in Hawaii, there was vomited in 1840 during a single eruption a mass of lava equivalent to fifty times the volume of earth which it was necessary to remove in order to form the Suez canal. In 1873 the Skaptar-Jokull, one of the most redoubtable volcanoes in Iceland, sent forth two rivers of fire, one of which ran along a valley for eighty miles, its depth along the entire dis tance being thirty yards. Finally, it Is estimated that from the mass of stones and ashes which were discharged in 1883 from Krakatoa could be formed a mountain higher and wider than Mont Blanc. An Old Time Remedy. In the ice chest of a Germantown residence there are always lying four or five big keys. This is because the nose of the little son of the house bleeds every few days, and nothing stops the hemorrhage like the dropping a large, cold key down the child's back, says the Philadelphia Record. He squirms and cries out beforf the shock, and then in a moment he Is well, his nose stops bleeding. A physician said that the cold key remedy for the hem orrhage of the nose was as old, he sup posed, as keys themselves are. "It Is a very good remedy," he went on, 'and ts curative power is due to the shock it gives. But isn't It an odd thing to use a cold key? Almost as odd, to my mind, as the candle with which some persons tallow their noses when they have a cold. But the candle remedy does no good, so far as I can see, whereas the key remedy Is one of the best in the business." He Didn't Take the Hint. Chicago once had as its superintend ent of city schools a bachelor named Howland, whose gruffness of manner and love of neatness were proverbial. Going into the room of a young and at tractive teacher one day, Mr. Howland took notice of an untidy desk and a carelessly arranged boo',shelf, and, pointing his finger at them, queried brusquely: "What kind of a housekeeper do you think you'd make?" "Why, Mr. Howland, are you looking for one?" was the humorously quizzical reply. His Grace. Bishop Wilberforce used to tell a sto ry of a greedy clergyman who when asked to say grace looked tinxiously to see if there were champagne glasses on the table. If there were, he began, "Bountiful Jehovah!" But If he saw only claret glasses he said, "We are not worthy of the least of thy mercies." Have Some Municipal Ways.
