Tfie Vfide ^forld Qver. WAS recuperating w a New Mexican hacienda. At the death of bi father I had been left qoltt a com fortable little mp, and I luiu mc once started o?t to mc the ssorld, being at last able to satisfy my era vine for travel to Its fall extent and having no parental ties to bold' me to any one particular spot of the World's circumference. ' But 1 bsd somewbat overdone the thing, not being possessed of a consti tution that would stsnd much of s ?train. 80 I bsd settled down st IiO? tVegas to tske things quietly for s (while, before going further. It was oh the evening of October 12. 180(f. that the news was circulated in the town that there had been an aw ful \vreok on the Santa Fe Just below tWatrous. A special was rapidly made | up of an engine and two coaches, aud the call made for volunteers to assist In any way that their services could be of value. I made one of the num ber tiiat promptly responded, and has tily clambering aboard, we started for the scene. I shall never forget that distressing sight, ns, reaching the spot, we leaped to the ground almost before the train bad slackened speed sufficiently to make it wife to human life and limb to ?light. There lay a tangled mass of ?wood and iron plied in heaps, from .which came moans and cries from the imprisoned passengers and crews. One of the forward coaches, together with the mail and express car, was in flames. While part of the impro vised wrecking crews gave their atten tion to helping the poor unfortunates In the passenger coaches, others of us started in to save what part of the mall and express car's valuable con tents still remained out of the reach of the tongues of the flames rapidly drawing nearer the end of the car farthest from the engine. I was one of those who started to work on this car. and lustily I began to pull out the sacks of mail and what merchandise could be reached through the tremen dous boat from the burning end of the csr. The last sack of mall was not Snatched away in time to prevent hair Its length being burned away entire. I had hold of the leather handles and gave a fearful tug. for the lirat was now unbearable. For a minute the bag feeld to some object that weighted it down, then gave suddenly, landing me backwards, while a shower of letters and small packages completely cov ered me. After we had done all we could to save the contents of the car. and taken the last man from the twisted coaches, we started back to I.as Vegas with our mangled, suffering human freight. It was after one o'clock wheu we ar rived, and had tenderly carried the suf ferers to the nearest point where they could receive mcdicnl and surgical at tention, and. being quite fatigued with my unusual exertion. I crawled into bed and slept soundly until thr sun bad arisen high In tlie heavens the next day. Being nearly dressed. I reached for my Vfst, when something fluttered to the floor. .Picking It up I was sur prised to find a half burned photo graph. Kvhleutly It had been caught In my clothing in some way when the mall bag scattered Its contents over me *as 1 lay upon the ground; and. when 1 arose to my fert. had slipped between my vest and shirt.- I said It was a half burned photograph, but that does not tell much. It was the photograph of a beautiful young lady, perhaps eighteen years of age. Beau tiful? The most beautirul, I think, I bad ever seen. I sat down In my half dressed state aud staYed at It for many long min utes. And before I bad finished star ing at that beautiful Image I had to confess to myself that I was helplessly In love with the pretty, rounded face, with its smiling eyes looking up so confidently into mine, that shapely, tempting mouth with Its saucy, curling lips, that wealth of tastily arranged hair thrown back over the high fore bead. Who was she? I cursed the flames that bad totally eaten away the part of the card that might have given some clue as to whom the photograph er had been, or In what place the pho touraph had been taken. If I could only know what town or city It would be enongh. I would go at once to the place and search every artist's estab lishment until I bad found some trace of my ideal. I p to this time I had bothered but little about women. But here was a dear little girl whose eyes looked up Into mine so smilingly, so confidingly, . *0 pleadingly,, that my heart ached to have them something more than im ages on paper, tc have those !|ps open and sprak to me. to have those dalntv little ears capable of listening while I poured my story of complete slavery Inlo them; ah, I was hopelessly In love, and I did not know with whom! Wltli a photograph! a photograph, tossed si my very feet, coming to me bv such a strange channel, to tease me. to agonize me. to craae me! And then the thought came to me that to every photograph there must necessarily be two sides. Perhaps the reverse side would tell me something a new hope! I held the photograph, and my lingers trembled and my heart beat furiously, fearing to turn It that I might be disappointed. At la?t my shaking fingers moved of their own volition. Writing! Feminine writing. In a neat, small band. And then my first love dream re ceived its rude shock of awakening?a mighty death blow. A sickening sen sation overcame me. I turned sick, and niy eyes blurred as | read the words tWhlch had evidently preceded a sig. nature, of which the flames had r?> ?ovcd all trace. 1 "Yours, the wide world over.** Mine? Perhaps by right of the pis Session of this bit of cardboard; but ffl heart, had I that? llad I ?vsa the ? < "... rl*ht to the bit at ?m((M msnI and enuMplsd by On dimrlii flames?

Tea years kavt pamd. I am no loageff ? wcltlMi scapegrace of a fel low. The passing years hare some what sobered me Into a recognition of the fact that the world requires more of a man than simply looking to bis own pleasures snd chasing sfter mir ages that but lead him a merry dance and lea re him worn out and dissp polnted at the first point his maturing mind shows him the uselessness and folly of his coarse. Howerer. much ? of the credit fot jny chsnge of nstnre should be girea to snother party, a sweet, charming little, womsn whom I met here at Ver sailles snd who bad quite captured my heart. And to-night, as we snt close to gether under the flowerlug tree*, with a fair moon casting pale shadows about us, I felt how happy I was In having won such a prize, for we wore soon to wed. There came a little lull In our con versation and my mind was Tunning back to my previous little love affair, the remembrance of which incident had never quite left me. Then I made a resolution. Turning to uy fair com panion, I said: "Vera, I must confess to a little de ception practiced upon you. Oh. don't start. It was quite harmless. You re member the other evening you *?.sked me If I had ever loved before? A woman's natural question, ami such a foolish one. And I answered, as most wicked men will, and as the question Justly deserves, perhaps, that I never had. I liav ? thought uport it since, and feel that truth is best, whatever be the consequences. I have loved be fore." Vera save her breath a little inward hiss and turned her flashing eyes upon nte in surprise, but said nothing. She apparently awaited my further conCcs sion. "Some ten years ago I came by the photograph of a young lady in a pe culiar way. It was such a dear little face that. I frankly confess now. I fell in love with It. Rut my love did not live long, for a few words on the re verse side of the card told me much. She loved another. I have carried this card with me until now. and to-night, after having confessed to you. I shall properly destroy it." I drew the card from my Inner pocket where I had carefully guarded it ever since the night I so strangely came by it. and not without some slight feeling of the old passion, placed my lingers in position to rend it asunder. Then Vera asked to see it. I promptly handed it to her.' She guve a cry of surprise, and turn. Ing to me, asked hastily? "Where did you get that?" "I found the photograph in a rail road wreck in New Mexico. The flames from the burning inaH car had re moved all trace of the name of the photographer, or I should have?eh that is. I " Or you should have gone In search of your Ideal. Am I not right?" "I?I?think so; but?but you see I had not met you then," I stammered in my confusion. "It seems we are old friends. You would have gone in search of your idea]! how long It has taken you to tliut her!' And, to my utter amaze ment, instead of being angry, as I had supposed, Vera burst into a hearty laugh. "Ah, but Vera, you know as the tirue t;?es on our ideal changes." "Oh," pettishly, "docs it? That Is too bad. I referred to the particular ideal of ten years ago. not only the one of to-day." Her words mystified me. She saw my wonderment, and again broke into a hearty laugh. "You foolish dunce! Yet how strange. Have the passing footprints of time stamped out all semblance and erased the beauty In the original, the substance, that you admired in tint shadow? That Is a photograph I had taken twelve years ago in San Fran cisco." At this revelation of the strange workings of destiny. I could only sit and stare like a man bereft of bis senses. Then I remembered the rude shock I had received upon turning thv card. Again torments began to rack my soul. ' back?" 1the wording on the "You foolish. Jealous boy! I h id mailed this very card to my mother, then in New York City, and that scrawl was only for her.

IN WOMAN'S REALM M ?th*r aad Taachir. Many mothers watch the departure ?f the children every morning for school with a algh of relief, and a feeling that for the greater part of the day their responsibility In regard to ! them baa been transferred to another. There will be 110 childish disputes to settle, no hurt ling*? to bind up. no faults to correct. But the mother'a Influence is not confined tq the home, and If she has the best Interests of the children at heart she can help the teacher In her effort)* to drill and train them for future usefulness. *?ys the Ladies' World. . The child should l>c tnuvlit to obey the teacher without question. In no other way cau a teacher maintain tbe order that Is necessary to produce good results from her work. Some times Johnnie comes home telling how aeverely he has been punished for a .alight offense. Remember, when sttch a story comes front the schoolroom, that you hear only one side of It. and that even adults are likely to pass over their own wrongdoings when they are telling the story to others. If you are sure that the teacher has made a mistake in correcting a child, it would be tbe worst thing you could d< to let him know that you think so. If something must be done, go to the teacher kindly and ask her about It. Nine times out of ten she will meet you courteously and give you all the Information you desire. We often fall to understand our own children. How then, can we expect th-? teacher, who never saw them before this school term, perhaps, and who has from thirty to fifty restless, mischiev ous little ones In her care, to always do the besl and wisest thing for each on* Kr?p Yoanir. If a man's age is. as we Tiave been told, merely a matter of liis own feel ings, It should stand us all In hand to feel as young as we ean. Dr. Madi. son J. Taylor. In a reeeutly published article, goes Into detail somewhat and ventures the opinion that men do not stoop beeause they are old. but that they are old beeause they stoop. In other words, a proper system of exer cise. which keeps the upper truncal muscles and the muscles of the neck In good order, will also have a benefic ial effect upou the hearing, sight, and cerebration. iS!'** Applying the same rule to the other half of the old saying, which main tains that woman is as old as she looks, we tiiul a great deal to be said in fa vor of Judicious exercise as a beauti fying ageney. If woman will properly care for her health of body and mind, she. too, may avoid growing old; at any rate, she may postpone indefinite ly the fears of old age. To the woman who has preserved an attractive sere nity of eye and featur by right thoughts and correct living, old age has no" terrors any way, for what is usually so denominated is really the crowning glory of life. The main thing fur us all to remem ber is that we may keep young in heart and mind, if we will, and that we owe it to ourselvcb to keep not only our muscles, l?ut also our opinions and sympathies both pliable and healthful to the very last. In this way we shall he counted young, even in the "sear and yellow leaf" because we have not allowed our hearts to 'mcome crusted with ago Wake Up Naturally /lon't Jump up the Hint tiling your ?yes nre upon. Remember that whib* you sleep the vital orkhiih nre nt rest. The vitality is lowered anil the circu lation is not ho strong. A sudden spring out of bed is a shock to these organs, especially to the heart, as It starts to pumping the blood suddenly. ?tates the Philadelphia Inquirer. Take your time i:i getting up. Yawn mid stretch. Wake up slowly. (Jive the vital organs a chance to resume their work gradually. Notice how a baby wakes up. It stretches Its arms and legs, rubs Its eyes and yawns and wakes up slowly. Watch a kitten wake up. First it stretches out one leg. then another, rubs Its face, rolls over and stretches the whole body. The birds do not wnke up and fly as soon ns their eyes are open: they shake out their wings and stretch their legs?waking up slowly. This Is the natural way to wake up. Don't Jump up suddenly. I>on't be In such a hurry. Hut stretch and yawn, and yawn and stretch. Stretch the arms and the legs, stretch the whole body. A good yawn and stretch is better even than a cold bath. It will get you thoroughly awake, and then you will enjoy the bath nil the more. Wake up like the baby. like the kit ten. Stretch every muscle in your body. Roll over and yawn and stretch and stretch and yawn, and you will get up feeling wide awake ami the heart and the lungs and tlic stomach will re sume their work without shock or Jar. and the bodily functions start off in u normal, healthful manner.. ItuMtrr xtoii Itranhrll. Rubber complexion brushes nre being more'and more highly prized by women who. want to be beautiful, both because they are sanitary, being so easily cleansed, and also because they supply a very agreeable friction.

The mitt tit* snugly over the tltiger*, and with its nid all the various manipulations may be performed with much greater ease than by the so'? nil of the fingers.

Dr**(. **For downright gorgeousness there Is little that can surpass a family party of Abyssinian women bound from one village to another lu festival time, uotabiy about 'Easter, for the Ahysslniuns are Christians." writes Mr. Rroughton Rra mien berg, describ ing the life of the womeu of Egypt In an article In Pearson's. "A brilliant, bangle-adorned .head dress is bound over the brow and drawn back to fall down the shoulders. The upper part of tin body is clad in a blouse of red and white literally covered with gold and silver orna ments. that are handed down from generation to generation. A short skirt In the same style comes below the knees, and the legs are encased in brilliant-colored strips wound tightly about like putters, often beaded and spangled. The feet, usually bare, are variously adorned with toe-rings, ankle bracelets and other ornaments." The CJIft of a Hoi Temper. One of the common complaints of parent against child is. "He has such a temper!" This is not meant to be a compliment and is not commonly re ceived as such. Rut isn't it? A child without a tem|H?r may be very sweet and satisfactory to its parents: but it can hardly he a child of any great force of character. Who ever saw or heard of a person with positive qualities, capable of being a strong influence, that did not have a high temper? A high temper gone be. yond control is an unruly servant and a hard master, but there are few more favorable abilities than the ability to get intclligintly angry for good and Just cause, says the Saturday Evening Post. Rut to be ill-natured?that's a vastly different matter. It proves that one has either a very small mind or a very I poor digestion?usually botb. NnrMng unit Matrimony. it appears from the report of tho Hoynl National Pension Fund for Nurses, says the London Graphic, that this way lies matrimony, and that, though nurses may not marry as early in life as some of their sisters, suitors are forthi-oniing in due course for most of them. This Is a right and proper state of things. No doubt their becoming uniforms are lesa effective than their solid qualities in captivat ing the male imagination; but that does not matter. The standard of solid qualities at the hospitals is high; ijnd a pretty nurse is. ceteris paribus, likely to make a better wife and mother than the pretty idler who en traps mankind by what the rude Auiui> leans call "parlor tricks." Inserted hands and motifs ore still ttie vogue for garniture. Even the simplest costumes this sen son show au elaboration of detail once considered consistent for only the dressiest occasions. Mitten cuffs formed of lace insertion and joined to large, puffed upper sleeves, around which run little frills or ruches edged witli lace are seen on other models. Inset laee is more difficult to manage than laee edgings or frilling*, and when inserted iu intricate designs such trimming requires much skill and patience. The summer models often show a prodigality of this Inset lace work, and the effect is charming If the work is well done. The up-to-date blouse is very full. but. drawn in by rows of corded shirring in the shape of a corselet or high gir dle. the lines being highest at the back and sloping down toward the front. The lowest cord comes Just at the waist line and an inch of the plain stuff is left below. Home skillful home dressmakers are producing some very pretty yoke ef fects by means of the pretty embroid ered handkerchiefs. The centre is cut out and a collar of embroidery titled to It, while one point is placed at the front, one on each shoulder, and one at ,the back, that at the back being cut open and faced for boaks and eyes. Linen collars are very much worn with tailor gowns. The most fashion, able of them are of the turnover styles to be worn with ribbons. Hemstitch ing. embroidered dots. i.nd even bor ders of hand embroidery are seen on stiff linen nowadays.
