The World' Bert Known Writer on Medical Subjeeta. We have a faculty for overlooking plain and obvious facta which nmounti almost te a genius. Part of this la due to our Method of education, both scholastic nd religious, which irlvea ua the theory of Ufa flrat and the facta afterward If at all. Rene our constant endeavor la to make the facta of our experience of life about tte fit In with the theortea that have been drilled Into ua. Any facta that don't fit In with the theorlea are Ignored In po lite society, and ao, of couree, they don't slat. One of theae dogmas, which waa laid dewn airea aro In that era of Ignorance and cruelty and slaughter which we usually refer to aa the rood old daya, waa that all men are abeolutely and dually reaponsmla for their conduct and. If they are not food, can be made 'ao by Banishment and cruelty. Upon that pure assumption la baaed our whole unspeak able ayatem of criminal law and so called justice. Whatever the causa, the painful fact remalna that, up to. a bare third of a century ago, the universal rule of the law and the court In dealing with the offender waa. If any man broke the law, punish him; If he repeated the offenae, punlah him again and keep on punishing with Increasing severity aa long aa the offenae or he offender laated, without ever for a moment atopplng to look at. ao to apeak, Ita raw material and con alder carefully what manner of men It waa who were thua being punlahed and taipriaoned. -About thirty-five year ago, under the lead of the noble and gifted, but erratic, Lombroao, an attempt waa made for the flrat time In human hlatory to quietly and dlapaaalonately alt down and atudy the habitual criminal, the chronic of fender, the actual population of our pris ons and penitentiaries. Unfortunately, the flrat atart waa made along mistaken line; that I to aay, upon anatomical differences which dlstln gulahed the criminal from the normal man, aettlng up a ao -called criminal type, which could not be supported. , But two things quickly atood out un mistakably and clearly. First, that the heavy majority of all our prison popu lation on both sldea of the Atlantic con sulted of what la technically known a "reneatera" or recidivist. That la to ay, 00 to 10 per cent of them had been The Weariness of Waiting By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Nothing at all In the world I more likely to defeat It own object than hurry. From the enthusiasm that Inspire you to do to the over-enthusiasm that Insist on action at once, prepared or no, I Just a tiny atep. There la an old proverb that says. "What one wishes for seems at the door." If you wish hard enough you may often feel that you hear the knock of your de deslr. But when you open the door there Is nothing there. The old story of the boy who cried "Wolf!" when there wa no wolf and who perished miserably when the wolf came, Illuatrat this fairly well. The danger for which we watch with actual Impatience becomes negligible through familiarity and when It comes we have no protection against It. Nothing makes a person such a pessi mist as the Indulgence In unfounded hopes that prove wrong. Nothing makes a per son ao criminally careless of danger aa watching fearfully for accidents that used never have been expected, and ao VOLlAfMN DAD CONDITION Restored To Health by LycIU E.

Second, that while no clear-cut crimi nal phyalognomy or criminal bodily type could be made out, the prisoners, aa a mass, wherever simply weighed and measured . In uf flclent number, were from one and a half to three Inchea shorter In stature, from fifteen to thirty pound under weight, and had leaa than two-third of the cheat expansion of the average of the community from which they were taken. In other worda, nearly two-third of our criminal "did wrong" a constantly, aa instinctively and aa peralatently nine-tenth of their fellow outside of tiie prison walls "did right": and tnese wrongdoers were under-elsed, under weight, narrow cheated, stupid and aa markedly Inferior physically and men tally to the right-doers as they were morally. But here the matter hung In the air for some time. The findings, though In teresting, had no "bite" to them and car lied little definite conviction. Possibly habitual criminals and fre quent offenders were under-elsed and narrow-cheated and ' anaemlo and fear fully subject to tuberculoala; but might not much of thla be due to their vicious and Ill-regulated habits of - life, their drunkenness, ths gross sexual vices, the Irregular hours they kept and the wretched alums and dene In which they harbored acd lay hidden from the police? Even If they were under-slsed and under-wclght, so were some of the great est men In history; and ft moment's glance up and down our home streets would show us scores of men below the minimum height and chest-girth for army recruits, yet who were, earning a good living and playing a useful and honorable part In their circle and in the community. Just the mere fact of a man being under-slsed and slack-muscled Is no explanation of or excuse for his being a criminal. However, w drew on useful, If not wholly logical, conclusion from the facts, and that was: That If criminality and stunted growth and narrow-chested and consumptive tendencies go hand In hand. then the better we can feed and house and care for all our children, especially those In the slum and the back alley, the fewer of thorn witl turn Into crimi nals. blinding himself to the approach of real trouble. - Watting Is one of the most trying ex periences In all the world. There is no trial that puts stability of character to a more terrible teat. Have you ever waited for a letter that meant life or death, love er Indifference to yout Tou know the postman is due at In the morning. You wait at T and wonder how you will get through the two long hours until he comes. Somehow bathing and dressing, eating your break fast and doing the taaka of the day bridge over the time until quarter be fore 9. Then you station yourself at the win dow and watch for the first glimpse of the longed-for messenger' gray suit. Suddenly you see him far down the street. Cloaer and cloaer he eomea, weaving hla path In and out of door ways. With beating heart you wait, agonisingly wondering aa he comes closer and closer whether he brings what you long for. He-seems to have a tremendous mall to distribute and to do It slowly and with tortolae-llk progress. Now he I at the door next to your own. He passes your house and goes to the next. Tou must wait bravely for the noon mall, and the next, perhaps. The letter you long for may come tomorrow. And no blow It deals can hurt you more than did the agony of waiting for what It would tell you. "The Impatient man believes that the stars fight against him," says an old proverb. And the only bad luck In all the world la the bad luck to be weak enough to belter In luck. Luck and chance have very little to do with the periods during which one waits. ' You wait for a letter because the per son who sent It didn't get It off In time. That has nothing to do with luck, but depends entirely upon your human rela tionship with that person and how unset flsldy and considerately he thinks of you. To highly sensitive souls who are ner vous and Imaginative, waiting always must be a certain strain, but they can control that strain and not let it spell sgony. Because a loved on who said he waa coining at I has not arrived at I does not mean he haa been murdered by bandit or I never coming at all. It probably Indicate nothing mode trem endous than that he started late, or waa delayed by some trifling circumstance. VI hen you have eonquered your own Im patience ao that you raa endure Impotent waltlug calmly, you have dune much to assure yourself of a peaceful life. U la chiefly women who Indulge In tormenta of agony when waiting. Moat mn know enough to f'H In periods of waiting with ome activity, ao that their minds shall nut anxl ualy dwell on apeculatlng how soon the looked-for event wl'l occur. A book er a bit of sewing will often serve to tide over a period of waiting. Force youaelf to concentrate on some thing othor than the thing toward which you are looking. If it cornea It will find you calmly waiting to receive It, and If It falia to come your conserved energy will train you to go on waiting. In-Shoots We can forgive and still be suspicious.

Her he I confronted by a temple cut In the rock, with the most exquisite Cor inthian columns, and entering the door way he finds himself in the heart of the hill, surrounded by subterranean architec ture of the most elaborate beauty of form and workmanship. This is the so-called kheaneh, or treasury, supposed ta have been built by the Roman Rniperor Had rian, Who vla'.ted Petra in the year 1S1 A. D. Although called a treasury. It was a temple devoted to IU. No descrip tion of this strange building has ever ex celled that given by Stephens, the first American traveler to see It: "The whole temple, Ha columt.a, orna ments, porticoes aud porches are cut out from and form a part of the solid rock; and this rock, at the foot of which the temple stands like a mere' print, towers several hundred feet above, Ita face cut smooth up to the very summit and the top remaining wild and mtsshspen, as By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

He aeya; "In the course of a season's en gagement I conie In contact with many youag girls of a moat tender age and beyond reproach; others wild, but not wicked, and some Just standing on the brink and ready for that terrible plunge which means the beginning of the end of youth and attractiveness, and hap piness. "There la no need to say that often times the actor ta burdened with accusa tions which might more fitly be borne by the young sons of floe families and their mature fathers, who play truant from the monotony of home life. Often I have seen young girls tcken aside back of the stage and warned by members of the company to beware of respected buaiiioss men. who were waiting in their cars to convey them to late suppers. "My blood has boiled when I have seen these men, who stood high socially, and ho are trusted at home, leading these young girls astray. Girl are good listeners, and cweetneaa and sentiment lead easily Into folly and sin. "There must be some way to bring influence to bear upon such girls and cause them to realise the danger of their situation." Ths writer of the above letter suggested the publication of verse and prose which would Interest such girls, and, at the same time, warn them. His own letter ought to serve as a warning. It breathes the attitude of a Urge majority of the best theatrical n.a, actor and man tv3 - e i Wi V3 - in 'ill j -i . Tan to study them adds to the Impression of lonely majesty which they make upon them. It la rare to meet any human being In the place. Sometimes a few Arabs are seen, but at night the voices of wolves, hyenas, owls and jackals may be heard, and occasionally one of these animals may be surprised lurking In the dark In terior of an open tomb. Large venomous serpents are also sometimes met with. It la not surprising that some visitors have applied to Petra, which has been supposed to be the Bel ah of the Bible, the curses uttered by the Hebrew proph ets against the land of Idumea, such as these: "And thorns shall come up In her palace, nottlea and brambles In the fort resses thereof,, and It shall be a hab itation for dragons and a court for owls," or "Oh,' thou that dwelleat In the clefts of the rocks, that holdest the height, of the hill, though thou shouldst make thy nest aa high as the eagle, I -will bring thee down from thence, salth the Lord," agers, in the country. So much do these men see of the frivolity, the silliness, the v-eakness and the wickedness In human nature that they do all they can to save girls from folly, and their love for purity and virtue In woman amount to rever ence, : ; A theatrical man, who has risen from the ranks, and who haa achieved great financial sucoeaa In hla chosen field, spoke on this subject recently to the writer with Intense feeling. He I the father of a little girl only a few years old. but be says It is his Intention to give that girl, by the time she Is a dosen years old. a full knowledge of the dangers which await her In life, and to make her under stand the high estimate anion all good men place on modesty and virtue.

If there were more fathers and mothers of this order there would be fewer girls Tasking themselves ridiculous by pursuing actors, rnarrlet or alngle.

He says he doesn't care for the money Itself, because he haa plenty. but that he doean't want his wife to have any money of her own, be cause, if she does, she can buy things without asking hla permission. and that would never do. Donti't vt hat a. and young that ho has woman turn -',r.J.- . .. j sentiment so u n d like Hark from the TombT Isn't it an echo from the far, dim past? I didn't suppose there was a man left In the world that held to thla antiquated notion concerning a woman's inability to handle a dollar even her own dollar without giving an account of it to her husband. And I am more than amased that a woman of this day and generation can be found who la willing to marry a man who frankly avowa auch pre-Adamlte vlewa. Any man who wants to rob his wife of her little inheritance and who thinks it dreadful for her to have a cent of her own to spend, or to buy her a choco late soda without asking his kind per mission, will make one of the tightwad, tyrannical husbands who send a woman to the grave, or Reno, according to the amount of spirit and backbone she has. I wonder. In a case like this, how the man would like It If the situation were reversed, and the woman should demand that he turn over to her all of his prop erty, so that he would have to come to her every time he wanted a dollar, and explain what he wanted to do with it. How would he enjoy having to hem and haw and double and shuffle every morning trying to screw his courage up to the point of asking his wife for car fare? How would he like It If every time he wanted a new suit or hat, he had to have either a stand-up fight to get the money from hla wife, or else cajole and Jolly it out of her by a lot of lying flat-' teriea that degraded him In hia own Bight? Suppoae he had some relatives a poor sick old mother, for Instance that he yearned to help, whom tie was willing even to deny himself to help, but he could never send her even so much as a five-dollar bill because his wife held the purse strings, and he had not a penny of his own? He would find such a situation Intoler able . He would aay that no man can maintain hla aelf-reapect and be finan cially dependent on anybody elae. He would feel that he would rather die than go to even the most generous Advice to 'it ssATBzca rAnrAX- Are Yoa Mercenary T Pear Miss Fairfax: I am a girl of to and engaRed to a man of 23. Have met through business, as we are both em- Floyed In the same place. We are very ond of each other, and he claims I am dearer to him than his sisters and brothers. Now. Miss Fairfax, the ques tion Is this: My friend took out a Ufa policy, making his brothers and sisters, who are all married, his beneficiaries, aa hla Barents are dead. Don't you think he ought to make me hla beneficiary? S. J. Tour .letter sounds as If you were very mercenary In your attitude toward the man you love. Aren't you a little bit ashamed to be sitting and figuring on what would become of his estate If the man you love were to die? The widow Is legally entitled to one-third of her husband's estate. In the matter of a fiancee It would be natural for a man to make some provision for the girl he loves, but I think it would disgust him If she insisted on this as a right. Consider Thla Berloaaly. Pear Miss Fairfax: T am'a girl of IS and love a man 41 Now, my famlf thinks he Is too old for me to marrv but I love thla man dearly. So, In a Mto of parental objection., should I marry him? PRI8CIL.L.A. The difference In your ages la ao great that the difference In your tastes and Interests must also be very great. Tou are really only a child and the man you love la middle-aged probably at least ss old as your father. Under the circum km.. father every time he needed money, and as for taking It from one who gave :t grudgingly, and berated him for his ex travagance as he doled out every nickel, why exery drop of blood in him wou! 1 rise In furious protest. - Tet that Is what this man la calmly proposing to Inflict on the woman h thinks he loves, and is gong to marry. His idea Is. of course, that women rtv" mere chattels with no normal instinct of self-respect or dignity that a husband is bound to take Into consideration. -He thinks that a woman would just as soon be a beggar as anything else, and thot she rather enjoys abasing herself before her lord and master, and taking with grat tude such alms as he is gracious enough to bestow upon her as a token of his generosity, and not at all In con sideration of her performing the multi tudinous duties of wife, and mother, anl housekeeper, and social secretary. Well, if he or any other man takes that view of the matter, he Is maklna the mistake of hla life. Women loi.g for financial Independence Just as much ri men do. They abhor mendicancy 1un much as men do. They resent, wit i their whole souls, the fact that th Job of the housewife, which Is the hardest work and the longest hours of any labor in the world. Is not even listed amonr 6-slnfuI occupations, and carries with It no pay envelope. The ono complaint that you hear mor than any other among married women U that they have never a dollar of their own that they can spend as their fancy dictates. The one thing that makes every working girl hesitate about getting mar ried Is giving up her own poeketbook. The thing that does most to promote peace and happiness In a household I for the man to rise to the supernal heights of Justice and liberality and give his wife a definite allowance for herself and the housekeeping. Instead of having to have It corkscrewed out of him bv the penny. If bad enough, goodness know, for the man to arrogate to himself the right to handle every cent of the family in come when It's hi own money, but It's glgantio nerve for him to assume the right to his wife's property. Of one thing every woman may be certain, and that la that the right aort of a husband will not want tn rnh Vimr of her money, and from the wrong sort he would best protect herself by hold ing onto her own, for a poeketbook Is an ever present help In every time of trouble, domestlo or otherwise. Also even a hus band treats a wife who la financially In dependent of him with the respect that we all show to those who have money. A wise old banker once said, cynically, that he waa perfectly certain that hla daughters would all be tenderly cherished by their husbands, and when asked his grounds for this faith In matrimony, he replied! "I have settled $230,000 on each one of my girls, so their husbands can't lounn it, ana me income on mat wl'l maae any man polite to'any woman who has It." the Lovelorn stances you must consider the matter very seriously and weigh your own feel ings, their likelihood to be permanent, the feelings of the man who cares f r you and the opinion of your paron ?. On general principles I dti!prje o' such a match but how ran a stranger play Providence and settle a q ties do t like thla with no personal Vnowledge of the people concerned?- Consider Thla Caret nil r. Dear Miss Fairfax-: I am !K and llvl is; at home with my father and brothers and keeping house. My fiance tNnks wn should five alone, and I Insist that mv folks snd I take a house tnsre'hcr, ' I do not like to leave my father. What would you advUe tis o do? MAKOARF.T B. It would be far wiser for you to have a home of your own after marriace. Marriage means setting up a homo snl establishing a family. If your father and brothers can afford to have a house keeper, I think It would be far wiser for you to have a separate home. D not Insist on anything that may wreck your marriage. If you Hvo with your father and brothers you may slight y3ur duties as a wife. Don't insist any cours i to which your fiance objects but try Instead to work out a solution which will give you the best possible chsnce t make your marriage happy and which, will not be unfair to your father. mm clears bad 'complexions I ( you want s clear, fresh, glowing complexion, use Resinol Soap at least once a day.
