The Ostler Fallacy.
Dr. Osier's fatal philosophy regard
ing the comparative uselessness of
^en after 40 years of age has been
followed by a fearful wave of dis
couragement and depression among
Chose who have reached middle life
•r later without gaining a competence
#r achieving anything like material
■access. The extent of the harm
which Dr. Osier has done—innocently,
I believe—can hardly be estimate!,
writes Orison Swett Marden, in Suc
eess Magazine. His words have come
like a death sentence into thousands
ef homes! They have taken away
hope and left despair in thousands of
aching hearts. “'What is the use of
trying," these unfortunates say,
'when one of the greatest authorities
In the world has pronounced the ver
dict against us?” Gov. Allen, of Ohio,
in commenting upon the edict of some
cf the railroad companies and other
corporations that men over 35 should
■ot be employed, said, ‘‘It Is not how
long a man has lived that counts, it
Is what’s left in him.” This is the
secret of the whole thing. It depends
altogether on how much is left in a
man as to whether he is old or young,
whether his iire3 have burned out or
are still alive. What the employer
wants is vitality, resourcefulness,'
alertness, freshness and openness of
mind. It does not matter so muih
{about the years. It is rather a ques
tion of energy, of reserve power. It
is folish to fix an age at which men
become comparatively useless. Some
. chen are young at Id, others are old
at 35. One of the worst delusions that
■ver crept into a middle-aged man s
mind is the conviction that he has
done his best work, that he is grow
ing old and must soon give place to
younger men. Do not be discour
aged or allow yourself to be influ
enced by Dr. Osier’s “fixed ideas,” for
he is himself, at 56, a direct contra
diction of his own theory.
Carnivorous Diet.
Is meat going out of fashion? There
has been a twofold conclusion in the
results of the recent experiments made
—that we eat too much meat, and that,
generally speaking, we take too much
food. The experimenters, led by
Prof. Chittenden, of Yale university,
#or several months, and in some in
stances for more than a year, reductd
their meat diet by one-half, and yet
maintained as good or better health
(than before. The muscular power of
the athletes was increased and mental
activity undiminished. A banana and
a cup of coffee was one bill of fare for
breakfast. Strictly scientific experi
ments carried on in America, Ger
many and France have unanimously
resulted in the conclusion that health
and strength can be maintained with
• much les3 proportion of nitrogenous
food than meat eating peoples deem
necessary. The distinct teaching of
science is that, except the extremely
poor, most people eat about twice as
much as is needful, and that the su
perfluous amount is not merely waste
but becomes the fruitful cause of dis
ease and suffering. The rice eating
Japanese and Chinese practically con
firm the scientific doctrine.
Occasionally some foreign publica
tions assert that there i3 such an un
worthy thing as an “American lan
guage.” Our slang phrases and our
dialect stories worry them no lit
tle. So far as dialect is con
cerned, remarks, a wise con
temporary, we have no advantage
over our British brethren. They have
.novels written in a jargon which no
one not initiated into the mysteries
can understand. It is not denied that
the United States have contributed
many “Americanisms” to the language
of John Bull. We are a resourceful
people, much given to invention, and
if we “/ant a word that is not in the
dictionary we do not hestitate to coin
one. This may be in very bad taste,
but we have a great country and are
entitled to make occasional innova
tions.
Theoretically the promotion of
universal peace through me rnsuiu^
of international agreements offers an
ideal solution of differences arising
between nations. The practical re
sults have not been such as to arouse
any vast degree of enthusiasm, how
ever. At The Hague convention Eng
land's objection to the Transvaal be
ing given a voice in the deliberations
was sustained. The provisions re.at
ing to arbitration proved distasteful
■to several of the powers represeuteu
,and it was only on the broader pro
posals that the signatures of those
present were obtained.
Dr. Robert E. Minahan, mayor of
Green Bay, Wis., has declared war on
the street masher, or "the ahem man,”
as he calls that pest. His honor has
observed that it is unsafe for an un
escorted woman to be about the
streets after dark, so he makes this
public declaration: "I am going to get
rid of the ahem man in Green Bay.
They say it can't be done. I do not
know positively that the evil can be
eradicated. But I know this much—1
am going to give that fellow the best
run for his money he ever had.”
A man who got among the curb
stone brokers in Philadelphia, shut his
eyes find prayed for the mob was sent
to the asylum. The probate court felt
that a man who would shut his eyes
jn that crowd was, to say the least,
mentally unbalanced.

BY AN EARTHQUAKE.
CO FAR VERY FORTUNATE.

EW YORK.—Every
town in Ame.ua
has had time ,o se
riously conje ture
as to what it wou d
do with an earth
quake—after tne
earthquake had
done with it. N w
York has seemed
to be particularly
prolific of guesses.
On the wno.e the metropolis seems to
have decided that skyscrapers are not
such a bad thing In an event of an
earth shiver.
It is figured out that the steel-'rame
buildings in San Francisco behaved
very well considering. The construc
tion companies point out that even a
certain substantial vibration would not
shake out the stone or brick. A Fuller
company expert allows an occila'iou of
20 inches in flat iron building, for ex
ample. “But,” he says, “I am figuring
on a regular motion. If there w\s rn
eccentric jolt I'd rather not be on the
top floor.
The geologists say that New York,
built on solid rock, w-ould be ruined by
a much lighter shock than that which
devastated San Francisco. The w ter
mains would go with a shock even at
some miles distant.
To be reassuring Fire Chief Croker
declares that New York could never ba
ravaged as San Francisco was be
cause the long narrow city could draw
water from both rivers. He advises
more fire boats—and more hos\
Meanwhi’e it seems to have occurred
to a great many people that New York
is one of the luckiest cities in the
world. Certainly its history of purely
local disasters is very small. Its thr<~e
earthquake shocks have been scarcely
perceptible. It has had no great fire,
no great pes’ilcnce. Everything lrs
been prophesied. Nothing has hap
pened. If Its wicked are to be pun
ished it may he that It is to be by the
ordinary course.
Disaster as a Show.
F course the earth
quake is to be
turned to account
by those ingenrus
gentlemen who
run that grea'est
show on earth—
Coney Island. It
will displace
Mount Pelee Pc m
peii—the old rne
(there will be a
revised vers.on, doubtless) Port Ar
thur and other ancient history. Coney
Island must be up to c ate. And so the
pyrotechnic people are already at work
—have been for a week. No one can
deny that there is good material, for
only a trifling stretch of the imagin
ation may find spectacular mater a! in
the heterogenous elements of life at
the Golden Gate an 1 in the stupendous
disaster whidh overtook them.
There are to be other remarkable
things at Coney Island which will be
in full swing in another week. Mov
ing pictures are being made from a
balloon and these are to be shown on
a horizontal sheet which you wi 1
scrutinize from a make-be’ieve bal
loon basket at Luna park. In this wy
you will seem actually to be m’kPg
a balloon voyage over Coney Island
and New York.
There is to be another thriller much
more thrilling than the chutes for you
are to go over a real cascade (without
rollers) in a real boat. There is an
artificial “wave maker” guaranteed to
produce surf on the mildest days.
Nothing cheers, simulates and excites
tne New Yorker like being able to do
something in an artificial way. Per
haps we are all just grown up chil
dren who like “make believe” better
than the real thing, the fire eng ns cn
the stage better than on the street, 'he
surf ma*le by a machine better than
the breakers made in the good old
way by the ocean itself.

"great trust” by
the way—has in
vented a simp’e
device that cre
ates one of the
most entertaining
curiosities in New
Ycrk. The new de
vice takes the
place of much
more elaborate systems of learning
"Who’s who” in chorus girls. It is
quite necessary to know ‘ who’s wno”
and sometimes in a hurry. Where
does she live? Has she a good figure?
Can she sing? Has she had experi
ence? Is she trustworthy? See if
these questions are answered in a big
card index just like the card Index of
a library. On one side is the portrait
of the lady. As to whether or n it she
is pretty you may judge for yourself.
Turning the card you find a printed
form on the back filled in with name
and address. You lea--n that h’r fig
ure is “fair,” her voice "good,” “very
good,” or only “fair" also; that she
had a month’s experience in “Happ
land”; that she is "reliable,” or that
she is not, that she “left after a quar
rel with the stage manager,” that she
“faints frequently,” that she is ambi
tious to be a linger, and so on. I saw
one very beautiful face whose history
on the back of the card was quite
satisfactory I should judge, but one of
the agents of the syndicate pointed
out a single drawback. It was in the
last line. “Will not leave New York.”
It Is not thought to be worth while in
many instances to train and equip a
girl who will not afterward go “on the
road.”
' In no casa did the . urd index seem
to be flattering. “Good” i3 practically
the .imL ot laudation. “Fair” is mu h
the average characterization. S ;m • or'

Books and Pictures.
IR GEORGE DAH
win, son o' the
author of the “Or

was the guert of
e x - Ambassador
Choate whi'e In
New York. He is
at work on a scien
tific book of un
questionable im
portance, but he
would not talk further than to say
that he had no opinions about earth
quakes—everybody having assumed
that he womd have opinions about
earthquakes.
H. G. \V ells is another reticent Brit
ish visitor. Folks wanted to kn w
what the author of “The War of the
Worlds,” “Anticipations" and th«
"Utopia” booK tho.ght about the fu
ture of the United States, but Mr
Wells will tell later on. This remark
at>;e prophet, who has outdone Ju et
Verne, is one of the ..everest ta'Vers
of all the Englishmen I have met ir
New York. Like all Englishmen he die
not seem to undes'and why we sh u d
3ay “apartment” when we mean “flat,’
from which I judge that he is taking
notice of small things as well as b g
things. Mr. Wells will sail for Fng

The publishers continue to ins’s’
that there are no more “big sales” and
you might fancy (here never w 11 b<
any more. Forty thousand is now t
big sale. Have the "David Harum’
and “Ebpn holden” davs gone for
good? When you ask the reason the
publishers simply suy the thing w s
overdone. I suppose they mean that
the public was over “done.”
Likewise are the picture dea’ers
complaining. No more big prices, they
say, except for the pen artists like
Giuson—and he is in Italy painting!
“Gibson was right,” said an old paint
er the other day. “Ha earned his com
petence at the thing that pays, and
now he is going into deeper art with
real comfort.”
It is curious that the Gibson picture
supplements given away for many
weeks by two New York papers h ive
been more popular than the colored
chromos ever were.
Peacocks and Superstition.
HE artist must not
make any decora
tive peacock feath
er in introducing
this paragraph. I
insist upon re
specting tradition,
even while I am
helping to das'roy
it, and it is the
tradition, of
course, that pea
cock leathers are unlucky. No one
seems to know how it started, but it
is well established and has flourished
in New York perhaps more vigorously
than anywhere else.
And now there is rebellion. Fash
ion cries for peacock feathers. Pea
cock hats are actually in the show
windows. People stare as if they re
fused to believe their eyes. There has
been headshaking on all sides. Noth
ing but an earthquake will satisfy the
superstitious. According to the alarm
ists peacock feathers and calamity go
together.
I know one man who yesterday
said: "If my wife dares to put a pea
cock feather in her hat or bring one
into the house, I’ll divorce her!”
But there is one thing this man
didn’t know. To take the curse off
the fateful feathers they are dyed. If
you stain them nothing happens. And
this is the way the matter stands.

PROFIT IN WINDOW POSING
Professional Who Can Keep the Same
Attitude Almost Two Hours
at a Time.
Of the many curious ways of mak
ing a living not one i3 more unique
than that which a St. Louis man has
adopted as a profession. He is a win
dow poser, and has made such a suc
cess of the work that his wife and a
seven-year-old daughter as3i3t him.
This man began to pose in the win
dows of business houses about ten
years ago. But his work was com
monplace enough and he shared the
honors of it with many others.
But one night in a dream he saw
himself striking attitudes to display
wearing apparel before a crowd. The
dream impressed him and he began
practicing the poses. He found he
could hold some of them a long time,
and the more he practiced the more
expert he became.
Finally he went to a clothing store
and offered to pose in a window for
a certain wage. He drew a crowd.
People were perplexed to know wheth
er he was a real man or an inanimate
model. Th( y tried to make him laugh.
They tapped on the window.
The boys particularly delighted in
experiments to ascertain what the
man in the wrindow was like. The
man says they did not disconcert him i
in the least.
He explains his motionless periods
by saying that he concentrates his
mind upon what he is doing and does
not permit it to rove to anything else.
He says he has done this sort of thing
until his wife and even his little sev
en-year-old girl can imitate him and
do the trick as well as he can.
The “artist” and his wife go to a
store at ten o’clock and stay till four
in the afternoon. During this time
they will assume a number of atti
tudes, holding some of them as long
as one hour and 40 minutes.

NO SENTIMENT IN SIGHING
Simply Caused by Desire for More
Breath, Says a Phy
sician.
The sigh, which from time imme
morial and by all the poets whoever
sung has been regarded as a matter
of sentiment and connected with the
emotions, is declared by physicians to
be as purely a physical phenomenon
as is the sneeze or cough. A well
known doctor of this city, speaking
of this the other day, explained that
the sigh is nature’s method of making
one take a deep breath. When the
lungs have been getting insufficient
air a sigh is the means by which they
are replenished, or when the air has
been impure the sigh which one often
takes in stepping out into the open
air is from the same cause.
The doctor admitted that people
sometimes sigh from sorrow or other
mental ill, but maintained that this
is partly because it has been accepted
as the expression of grief through
ages as long as kissing and handshak
ing have been accepted as signs of
affection or friendship. Another rea
son why a sigh follows a sorrowful
thought is that such thoughts are
often concentrated and intense
enough to cause insufficient breathing.
When the lungs suffer for a certain
time from this insufficiency, the sigh
follows. Sighs are often caused, too,
says the same authority, by certain
sorts of indigestion.
NO LONGER A CURIOSITY.
Scientists Are Not Now Regarded as

tains of industry, not as lions to be
stared at but as representatives of sci
ence not only applied but pure. The
conception of a scientific man as a
captain of industry means simply the
acknowledgment that science has a
practical relation with the world and
that fortunately the public has ad
vanced far enough to see that pure
science sooner of later develops into
applied science.
The leaders of science are to be
placed in the class of organizers, man
agers of a sort of scientific trust. This
is science to date. While science is
organization its basis is the power of
investigating. An organizer is of no
use until there is something to or
ganize. And the materials on which
the organizer in science must work ,
are not made by machinery, but by the
brains of individual workers.

ELEPHANTS AND DRESS.
Animals Chosen to Lead Koyal Pro
cessions in India Splendidly
Garbed.
Elephants are fond of finery and de
light to see themselves decked out with
gorgeous trappings. The native princes
of India are very particular in choos
ing their state elephants and will give
fabulous sums for an animal that ex
actly meets the somewhat fanciful
standards they have erected.
For these they have made cloths of
silk so heavily embroidered with gold
that two men are hardly able to lift
them. The elephant which usually led
the state procession of a rajah being
ill, the magnificent trappings were
placed on one which had up to that
time occupied only a subordinate place.
The animal, delighted at its finery,
showed its glee by so many little
squeaks and kicits of pleasure that
gentral attention was attracted to it.
Not long after another state proces-'
sion was formed, and the previous
wearer of the gold cloths, being re
stored to health, took its accustomed
place and trappings, when the now de
graded beast, imagining, perhaps, that
he was being defrauded of his promo
tion, was with great difficulty restrain
ed from attacking the leader of the
parade.

TRANS-PACIFIC RACE
AMERICAN AND HAWAIIAN
YACHTS TO CONTEST.
Course Laid Out from Golden Gate
Harbor to the Famous Islands
Far Out in the Pacific
Ocean.
The first trans-Paclfic yacht race on
record will take place from the Pacific
coast to Honolulu within the next six
weeks, probably, unless the recent de
struction of San Francisco should de
lay the event. It had been planned
that the start should be made from the
Golden Gate harbor, but conditions
which have arisen may change the
programme somewhat. The yachting
fraternity all along the Pacific coast
and in the Hawaiian islands have been
in a furor of excitement over the con
test, and it is likely that seven or
tight yachts will enter as competitors
for the beautiful clip offered by the
Hawaiian promotion committee.
When the ocean race was projected
Hawaiians saw a chance for a great
sporting victory on the rea and a craft
was sought to represent them. There
was the La Paloma, which had won
race after race at home. But could she
stand the stress of 2,100 miles of sea?
Her owner thought so, and entered her
in the race.
Yachtsmen on this side of the con

is a mere pigmy compared with the

race from Sandy Hook to the Lizard

decks of most of the vessels in that
contest. But she is a seaworthy little
craft and despite her size is worrying
Ihe California yachtsmen who are not
sure but the honor of winning the
lirst yacht race across the Pacific will
go to the little boat and her daring
owner.
Commodore H. H. Sinclair, of the
San Francisco Yacht club, was the
first to realize the possibilities of the
prize going away from the coast and
Entered his schooner, Lurline, in the
contest. On her are based the hopes
ot the California yachtsmen.
There is another yacht in the race,
however, which those in the east be
lieve will prove faster than all the
others. She is the An' mone, owned
by C. L. Tutts. She will fly the flag
of the New York Yacht club. John
Murray Mitchell was her former own
or. She is an auxiliary with ketch

only moderate, but she is a splendid
sea boat. If the usually peaceful Pa
cific should get wrathful the Anemone
would revel in it. Just now she is
working her way up the coast after a
long voyage from Sag Harbor, L. I.,
around Cape Horn.
The cup which has been offered as

after the style of the calabash or na

The design on the bowl is very

underneath. The cup will cost $500.
