EASY TO JUDGE CHARACTER
Make a Study of the Handwriting of
Those of Whom Doubt It
Entertained.
Handwriting indicates* ?' good deal
toort than appear* on the surface, It
wjiat l.ouise Hlce sayu in People's Mag
aside (a true.
"Want a good, kind woman to live
In your widowed home and take care
of Willy and your bulldog?" she asks.
?"Look at her capital 'A' and her small

way she will devote herself to you, for
she i? the gentle, tender, mother type,
and will be contented with little,
so long aa she may love and care
for the weak and ainall. I said, she's
that type of mother, because there
are many different kinds of mothers,
all good In their way, I have often
thought that If life were well regu
lated we'd have special mothers for
Infanta, for half?growu children, for
lads and laaaes, and some wonderful
mothers for ua grown up children, who
really need them most of all.
"Hopeful people slant their wrltle*

his cynical mouth. Old *Ironface'

Susy, who haan't s thought In her

that tendency. The smaller the letter

Oh, look at the writing bf statesmen

ventors, composers, naturalists, and
philosophers. I know that the rule
does not hold good for all business
men, but those men themselves will
acknowledge, I think, that they are
not In the same men till class as those
first mentioned."
What This Year I?.
It's not only the year 1020 Anno
Domini; tut it's also: The year 144
of American Independence; the year
5680 o^ the Jewish calendar; the year
ip.19 by the okl Russian calendar (by
which New Year's Day <Sritnes on Jan.
14 of our calendar); the year 1838 by
the Mohflmmedan calendar, and the
year 1886 by the Coptic calendar,
which Is used In parts of Egypt and
Ethiopia.
It Is an Interesting and little known
fact, by the way, that our calendar
years are not reckoned from the year
of Christ's birth; but from the fourth
year after his birth. Christ >vas born
in the year 4 B. C., according to the
majority of authorities on such mat
ters.
Somewhere, sometime, a mistake In
reckoning the years was made, which
became so firmly established that It
was Impossible to correct the calendar
after the discovery of the mistake was
made.
Teach Boys Art of Fish ng.
A Ashing school., the first In Italy,
has been opened at Naples, with an
attendance of eighty enthusiastic and
ambitious fisher boys. Extended trips
to fishing grounds will be made In
n Inrg?* motor boat, the gift of the
Junior Red Cross of America, and In
struction will be given in the practice
and theory of Ashing. Some of the
lessons will deal with the possible use
of Ash for canning, the nature and
extent of oil In Ash, and its extraction
and preservation.
It is believed the school will do
much good here, as a large part of the
population earns Its livelihood by Ash
ing, but st 111 employs old-fash Ion$d
methods. Several other schools are
being organized, one of them exclu
sively for girls.

"Be Sure You Are R'flht.*
The vital thing In achievement Is a
fixed goal backed up by a loyal -will.
It's easy to do a thing after you hnve
been convinced of its Justice. Half
the battle is Andlng out Just what you
ought to do. and making up your mind
to do It. When you are committed to
a task you feel no peace until you
have gone your limit toward Its
achievement. The wise thing to do Is
to make sure that what you think of
doing adds to the general progress yon
Intend to make. "Be sure you are
right" Is more than a commonplace.
It's a fundamental in the great worth
