FIFTY YEARS THE YOUTH OF AGE.1 I do not know who it wm that flrat I 14. "Fortune knock once at every man's door," but I know he was wrong n bis Implied meaning, that the knock -a me only once In each lifetime. Fortune la often near ua, if we only knew her face. She appears In aa many tnd changing; guises aa a lady of f anti ion, and we do not recognise her many lime. We paaa ber by with averted rase, or Indifferent air, or scowling tfsnccs, or Icchs of fssr. That ! our fault, not here. It Is be cause we lack Insight, and because we ire not looking for the good dame. When a woman la looking for her lover, she sees some one who resem oles blm at every street corner. He Is o constantly and so persistently In her mind that every passer-by takes on his emblance. And by and by lie comes. If we are fully expectant and positive, fortune wtll come to us, and even In trouble, disappointment and loss we will M:e a semblance of her face, a sign of tier coming. Do not for one Instant allow your elt' to believe that she has passed you by. The road she travels Is an endless circle. . She reappors again and again to the watchful and observant eye. If the ha passed your door today, and knocked white you were sleeping, and you awoke to see her retreating form down the roadway, do not despair and My the opportunity of your life Is gone. Remember, It Is only one opportunity. Set yourself about your business, keep busy, hopeful and expectant, and look for the return trip of Fortune. Do not expeot to see her in the same gown and bonnet. She loves new apparel. She is a woman, and fond of new ef fects. See to It that she does not slip by you again unobserved. But, even if she passes a second time, you need not de spair. She Is Immortal, and never dies. But you are mortal, and you need to enjoy her benefits while you have the powers of enjoyment left in your brain and body. There Is another time-worn idea you want to toss Into your mental waste basket. In my early youth I remember read ing somewhere that unless a man had achieved something at the age of thirty he never would make a place for himself In the world of men. He who waa a (allure after three decades would be a failure to the end. I have heard men ut tlhrty quote this f jylng with de spondency and self-contempt In voice nd face. It haa discouraged more minds than it ever stimulated. Ob servation has taught me the absolute 'Hi lacy of the Idea. Thers have been instances of great SEVEN-YEAR OLD PIANO TEACHER, Constance Williamson, a 7-year-old Chicago Lawn girl, opened a school of iiiisle recently for piano Instruction. The school has started with the found, r aa president, director and Instructor n one, and there are two pupils, both ilder than little Miss Williamson. They ire Helen Can-, aged 9. and Marie Pud !, t years old. Constance Is a musical prodigy. She . a Unr bit of a lassie scarcely four feet high, with a round, rougulsh bsby foe and a mass of auburn curls. She is no short that when she sits at the piano ber feet cannot touch the pedals, to Improvised pedals are built upward toward the stool by means of a wooden box, through which levers reach to the pedals below. In thin way (he child musician gives tone and expression to her music. The little girl made her first public appearance as a musician when she was but two and a half years old, and car ried off honors fit for an opora queen. When she was three years old she play ed in several of Prof. C. W. Edwards' recitals In Chicago, where the musical nllte were present. At four shs prac ticed several hours a day, but only when he wished to, for her music Is always ponlaneous and never forced. In this particular Constance is unlike a genius. tor even Mwtart and Beethoven were made to practice when mere babies, lionatanco studied with Prof. Edwards for Hire years, and when he left for Europe she took up ber studies at the Musical College. Now Prof. Edwards is to reopen his down-town studio and Constance la again his pupil. 8MB LJKB8 CLASSICAL, MUSIC. The child has always played music iy the best composers only, heavy classics that many a grown person can not master. Bhe reads rapidly and so t uratoly. and possesses a natural know. Mk of harmony. 8hs ha loved Beeth oven's sonatas since she was old enough to notice any sounds at all, and later when her mother would play for her tmuiraient the little girl would beg for compositions which she was told were "sonatas." One day she climbed o the piano stool by means of a divan nd commenced to play a soft, low mel. ..dy with her head turned knowingly to me side. flhe wss then so short her o by feet stuck out straight from the ''"What r' yu Playing, Cufujtanctr her mother asked. "A Clncln.l." the child replied. Constance Is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Williamson of Chicago awn - who. naturally, are very proud of their laughter's beauty and genius.

We must remember that man, not God, divided time into years. Some men are younger at fifty. In brain and heart and body, than others at twenty-five. Home natures, like some trees, grow and develop slowly. It is wise for every youth to make noble and persistent efforts to attain mnm measure of success before thirty. It will enable hira to enjoy a restful middle life. But if he falls, through his own errors or the unavoidable occur rences of fate, let him by no means Im agine he Is to be a permanent failure. "Fifty is the youth of old age." Be tween fifty and eighty there are thirty good years for work and success and happiness. Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Cb cago American. SOLDIERS' CHRISTMAS, Limit of Time For Mailing Remem brances. With tbe approach of Christmas peo ple are making preparations to send re membrances to the soldier boys and others of their friends in the Philippine Islands, Cuba and other of Uncle Barn's new possessions. For their benefit this paper presents the following information; To Insure prompt delivery in the Phil ippines before December tS, parcels, packages and other mail must be de posited at tbe postoflice on or before November ZX Mall posted after that date, or November U. at the latest, will not reach the Philippines till Jan uary. On addressing letters or packages to a member of the military, give nam of company and regiment, the location of the regiment Is not demanded, but It will help to facilitate delivery. No package or parcel of any gind ex ceedlng ths weight of four pounds can be sent through the malls. Alt pack ages sent to tbe soldiers will be received at domestic rates, which la 1 cent per ounce on merchandise and t cents per half ounce for tetters. . For Cuba and Porto Rico malt should' not be sent later than December L For China, same as the Philippines, domestic rates also prevsll where ths letter or package is addressed to ths soldiers. It requires not less than thirty days for a letter to reach the Philippines, but owing to the ruxh of Christmas mall, delays are probable. Although the coal strike Is practical ly over, the coal barons will continue striking the consumers for several months to come. THE DIFFICULT CHINESE LANGUAGE It's an easier thing to teach a China man the Christian religion than to learn his language, which Is, viewed In all lights, a strong statement. The hard working missionaries who have done both are to be marveled at. It may be be rely a matter of patience to convince a Chinaman of the beauty of the golden rule, but supreme and ex traordinary gifts must be required to taatr the Irrational, uncouth, squirm ing characters that make up the Chi nese alphabet, which la, of course only the merest beginning. No language so abounds In Idiom or revolves Itself Into so many distinct dialects. An ordinary person finds dif ficulty In even counting the different ways In which Chinese Is spoken, while nobody has ever yet been heard of, not a necromancer, who was able to read the legend on his laundry bundle. There are scholars and diplomats, however, who are able to tell you with out consulting the dictionary that the Chinese for 'boxer" Is a word ot fix character that looks as If It were made up of umbrellas, chairs and rooking hordes. It Is much simpler to write, however, that the Chinese words for the various pronouns, which must be continually used in any language. Bight elaborate characters, for Instance, are required to express "him," while half that number represent the translation of the pro noun "I." Among the shortest words and phrases In Chinese are, ratber curiously, those which have to deal with tbe treatment of women, as If they had become shortened by much usage. It doesn't toko a Chinaman long, for In stance, to speak of "abandoning his wife." Two character are sufficient. And "to abuse a woman" Is expressed In similarly concise fashion. Repressions of tenderness may not be of as common use with the-Chinese lord of the household. At all events the word for "dear" to an appallingly cumbersome affair comprising seven teen character. It must take an abun dance of Oriental leisure to Indulge oft. en In this phrase.' "Christian." on the other hand, la ex pressed In four letters, "war" la tve, nd "lough," a verb which few persons would dream of connecting with the Chinese, In two.

THE LOVE OP A CHILD, Knowledge of the child Is as closely Connected with measures of education and Instruction as Is effect with its cause, says Prof. A. Rothmund of Mu nich university. Whoever attempts to guide snd to educate a child should first have knowledge of its body and soul. Such knowledge of the child, of its sep arate Intellectual and bodily functions, is at present limited. Why? Because we usually look upon the child through a sort of Intellectual spectacles; we are subject to prejudices and dispositions In which the child appears to us larger or smaller, better or worse, compared with the actual standard, ami Is treat ed accordingly. The child Is compelled to guide itself after the adults, and the moments In which we adults guide our selves unprejudiced after the child are rare. The only persons who sometimes so this are, perhaps, the mother and the teacher. And yet the smallest child participates In an active and peculiar manner in an the doings of Its sur roundings, and forms its own judgment. What is this judgment? Of course, not veryone Is given to a continuous observation which, undet certain circumstances, should occupy many hours. The devoted mother ap pears to be tho only person that has all the qualities for such observation. Some American women have materially ad vanced the knowledge of the child by tuch studies. Mrs. Moor observed her own child during a period of two years with the utmost care, and for her sci entific work she earned the doctorate fegree. A Miss Bhian observed her niece from the day of Its birth during the . first BOO days of Its life. Statisticians employ mass observa tions for separate traits, from which an average, a maximum or minimum. Is es tablished. For Instance, how frequently it certain Idea Is met with in children ' ef the same age; what Is tbe most diffi cult or easiest object of Instruction, ac- ' Fording to the pupils' own views; how the disposition to save Is developed In ihlldren, eta I In procuring material for such re tearohes persons of many stations In j life may be utilised, provided they havt the requisite Interest in the cause, but teachers are, of course, first of all, ' called upon to work tn this direction. For this reason the state teachers' sem Insrles or normal schools In America make It incumbent upon the student to gather and formulate all remembrances of his or her childhood. These studies are supplemented by lessons from the most Important works on children; then follow systematic observations of chil dren In a specific direction, and, finally, 1 the comparison of the student's own observations with those of experts of loknowtedged standing. Experiments and the use of means furnished by exact natural science are the achievements of modern psychol ogy, and they also are ef Inestimable value In the psychology of the child. The latter may just aa well be used aa an object for test as an adult person, so much the more as ethical objections do not exist In the majority of tests. Pu pils of any age may be instructed In the nature of the tests to be made and of their own participation In these tests without overburdening or confusing the child's mind. In a larger sense the entire school Instruction, every ques tion, every class work, as well as every bit of domestic work of the child. Is an experiment In a psychological direction. But these experiments should be scien tifically directed, and tbe results of the observations should be better collected an more widely disseminated than It now the case. Contrary to the practice which pre vails In many other countries, the def erence shown to women In Austria In creases with age. and the land la well considered sn old ladles' paradise. No Austrian would ever dream of receiv ing a tody's extended hand without bowing to kiss It. Children, even when grown, always touch the hands of their parents with their lips before venturing to raise their faces for a kiss. Olrli and young married women, no mattet how lofty their dignity do not consldci It beneath their dignity to kiss the hand of ladles who have attained a certain age. The man are also fextremely cour teous, not only to ladles, but to each other. INDIMS BATTLE WITH EVIL SPIRITS I An Indian rite more spectacular than the famous snake dance of the Moklx, but which is known to but few white people In America, la that of the Jlcar 11 Apaches of New Mexico. It is the "Battle with Evil Spirits," which theBe Indians repeat every three or Ave years. It occurs only when a new moon appears between the 2Mb and 2Gth of September. That these In dians are able to make such a nice cal culation In astronomy and dates speaks well for their mathematical ability. September of this year the new moon appeared on the 23d day of the month. The Indians had prepared for their great dance or battle against the pow ers of evil. Mr. C- El Ward of Denver, Colo., was a witness of the extraordi nary scene. "The celebration," he says, "which extended over a period of ton days, or rather nights, began at (sundown of the first day of the new moon and contin ued until sunrise tbe next morning. It was repeated In' this order throughout the period. "As the sun sinks behind the western horlxon the grand march of the cele brants begins. The men file In at the west gate and the women at the east, each turning to the right, and after marching half way around the arena, halt, facing one another in a seml-clr-cle, then retire under the roofed por tion of the enclosure around the sides. "In the center of the arena Is a small pile of brush, upon which a goodly supply of greaKC and oil has been pour ed, and at this juncture in strides the medicine woman in all the pride and glory of her barbarous attire. The Jl carilla Apaches have no medicine man, as is customary with other tribes. Then stepping forward she applies an Ignited brand to the pile, and aa the fumes of acred Incense are wafted upward to the nostrils of the Great Spirit the men and women give vent to their feelings by chanting to the solemn and doleful strains of tom-toms. After the medicine woman retires 12 men step to the center, where a larger and fiercer fire has been kindled, and while the beat the tom-toms the oth ers in successive turns step forward and, forming a semi-circle about 10 feet fro mthe fire, go through their fan tastic contortions. A weird spectacle they form, these simple children of the desert, clothed In their gorgeous blankets and other barbarous array their straight, black hair unbralded and WOMAN WHO TAMES WILD HORSES. I5y Catherine Leckle, In the Chicago American: Horse breaking is one sf the accomplishments of Rena Chal lender, and while this handsome young woman can sell a case of gooda, run a type-setting machine or drive a horse which trots In 220. there accomplish ments are considered by her to be sim ply commonplace. But her gift for controlling bronchos nd subduing vicious horses, she ad mits. Is perhaps unique. Since last spring this young; woman has broken Ave horses in the saddle. Yet she talks 5f it as most young women do of rib bons and chiffon. In fact, as though leading a horse out and getting him used to a side saddle and a long skirt - -Joy gffatr with her BREAKS A NAG TO RIDE. "I had to break a horse last spring In lehreming." said Miss Challender, when talking of her unusual achieve ment, "or else I would not have nno anything to ride, snd that I never could stand. I a mnever happy unless I am near a hors. and In that Nortnern Michigan town they did nit liave any broken for women to rM. Indeed, at the time of my vl?lt thero, none of the horses were broken for the saddle. The result of my four months' stay In that town was that I had five hors'S that could be ridd'n. "The first one I tried wns a broncho," ront1nu-d Miss Challf nder. rnd then i-h? added, with a laugh, "nnd an uglier little beast It was never my pleasure to meet. A livery man by the name ot Hodeson owned him and he assured me that I never would be able to mnnnge, much less ride htm with a skirt dan fling at one side. Put I did, and he nded with bring a splendid animal un- ler the saddle. TACKLES THE ItRONCHO. "It was sbmit last April that busincF rnlled me to TshpcmlnK," this feminine horse-breaker went on to say, "and as I was to be there several months, I Im mediately looked around for a horse to ride. At the livery stable I was told that there was not a thing In town bnt Jrlvlng horses, and I announced thet then I wonld have to break ono. I was laughed at and told that I could never io It- I si w 'nobby,' the broncho; itandlng In a stall and told them if they would put a side snddle on him t would begin with him." Miss Challender showed the metal of which the was made when told that the lvery stable did not own such a thing. tn fact no saddle at all. Althougn mis fnunr woman docs not believe In the fair sex riding astride, yet that any iho wss so d termlncd to enjoy a cen ter along cmtnlry roads that she would have risked her own disapproval snd Tied her skill upon a masculine saddle, "I went, out and borrowed one from in utter stranger," Mls Challcndf-r laid, "and thwt broncho wss brought nil In the barn yard. He bucked snd lucked when the girth was being tlght ,ned. hut I knew I wss safe If he dlu not lay down. I wore a long skirt, and before I attempted tt mount him I tried flowing in all directions, while th-li black beady eyes emit sharp flashes oi fanatical enthusiasm. j "After a whll'e 12 evil spirits entei through tbe east gate and with grimac ing faces and diabolical grins advance, while the dancers, panic-stricken and fearful, cease their dancing and rush to cover.

So well did Miss Challender do with Bobby that she tried her luck and skill upon other horses owned by the same horseman. By that time every girl In Ishpemlng wanted to ride, and before thid gentle horse-breaker left this Mich igan town she had taught eleven of the belles to ride, and ride well, too. "I have ridden since I was seven," said Miss Challer-der, "and the way I learned to ride was bareback. My moth er rode that way rshen she was a girl and I first learned through riding at her side. If I didn't keep my scat she used to touch mo with her whip." "I love horses that is the secret of It," was the explanation she gave for her success in her unusual accomplish ment. "I can make a horse do what 1 want through kindness. I never struck a horse, or any animal, tn fact, in blow In my life. And my own horse at my home In Grand Rapids I love like a friend. He can do mile In 2:20, and I think I love to drive him, so much do we understand each other, almost as much as I do to ride." But horses are not the only thing this young woman Is interested in. She Is n newcomer to Chicago and hopes to make her introduction publicly upon a horse at the coming show. But Miss Challender Is at present a business wo man and has been for several years. In spite of Uils she Is very young, not over twenty-three, and handsome Into the bargain. Won Back His Wife. After ten years' separation and eight years' search, John Sokrepsky, a mod ern Rnoch Ardcn, has found his wife married to another man. But, unlike Enoch, he has not gone away. Instead he reclaimed and rewon his wife. Ten years ago SokrcpHky left his wife In Russia and came to this country. He made a home for her at Camden, N. J., and sent for her, but the letters of both went artroy. After vainly endeav. orltig to locate his wife, Hnkrepsky went to Russia and there continued the search. Meanwhile the wife came here to look for her husband. Several years passed without cither finding trace of the other, and finally Mrs. Sokrepsky, convinced that h;r husband was dead, married Stanley Stnnbar near Wllkef- tlarre, Po. They hav lived together throe years and one child. A week ago Sokrepsky, who had nev er obnndoned the search, four trace of his wife and discovered her. The meeting wss most affertlnn. Th sltua. Hon was talked over snd Mrs. Sokrep. Hky-Stanhar finally decided to go with her first husband. Her second husband, after much persuasion, allowed her tf take the child also THOUGHTS MOLD 'KATUHCX Tbe molding ot our features hy coh thoughts is a never oeastng orooaai whether we are conscious of It or not whether consciously controlled or not if we persistently continue in one Un of thought for a given time, the espei cial features upon which this though) has acted have become accentuated ac cordingly. It is tbe thought bentot rvery act, behind every breath, whist vitalises and finally shapes tho Unas ments of our faces; and any attempt to frustrate thought in Its effort to oat press itself through our countenances results in a confusion of expression an4 an uncertainty which is superior U uid detracts from otherwise well-form, ed features. Nor may we impose upon each othei the beholder for fear of loss of emolu ment, of praise, it may be, or friendship ir favor, attempts to dissemble, and ai nce loses its force and mars the truth r true action of eyes, lips, or brows. So it follows that the first rule to be bserved by the seeker after physical fecUon brIef 0Be t.. ' A.8 a tree is known by its fruit, so Is a mind known by its expression upon the face. A pure trend of thought seen through the free acting muscles of the physiognomy can and must reflect sj pure beauty. It is simply a matter of 'cause and effect." The most beautiful face is the perfect ly happy one for happiness brings a ihlning to the eyes, a new curving to the lips, a rounding of and an uplift ing to tbe cheek. In aii the happtel ind loftier emotions the muscles loan upward. It seems a sacrilege to analyse raake " mere m" muscular energy, out pemaps u n m looked at in another way, seeing in all the muscles of the face the ready hand maids of the soul or thought, we may. it once recognise the importance of tho relations existing between tbe servant muscles and tho master mind. If we made cheerful thoughts ous constant companions, the mask of each Individual would grow to Its fullest per fection as surely as the rose petals un fold their ruddy beauty to the loving j sun This may not be apparent dur- . ing youth or early womanhood, for the Features are then only forming and ex ;ept in cases of abnormally developed1 tendencies are not cast Into an unalter ible form. But after one has reached middle life, has lost much of tho Freshness of youth, and must depend nalnly upon expression for her beauty tnd attractiveness, then it is the Uneo) f the face that tell the story of her ife. They are beautiful if her thought lave been exalted, unattractive if they lave been unworthy. All along the outposts of time has Oils truth been cried out by the vari us sentries. Marcus Aurellus empha sised it, men of brawn and brain have ichoed It, famous beauties have proflt d by it. But the search for the best n ourselves, for the perfecting of our oodles, must not be made languish ,ngly. It must be carried on with wlde pen eyes and minds by doing noble Jeeds, not dreaming all day long. One seed not look upon the doing of klndi things as a sacrifice or foolish sclf repressiuli,' Ivi iiiiv U Sseir.g It !s & false light. In reality. It Is true self- protection, and we ourselves are tho truest beneficiaries of our cultivated! 'good nature." Every smile given is like money put jut at usury, and rarely returns a poor Interest. Every depressed thought, ev ry angry one, every hitter one leaves i trail behind It as vile as tbe poison ous footprints of the tarantula. "If tho hive is disturbed by rash and foolish hands, instead of honey It will yield us bees," may vertainly be paraphrased to read "If the features are stirred Into action by bitter or harsh thoughts, ir- itead of beauty they will yield us ugli ness."
