The other day a woman killed herself, and to those gathered about her bcdsldo In a vain effort to save her life she said: "I didn't know tho real thins from the phony until ,oo late."

The world Is a great department store, and wo aro tho shoppers. Woman's life Is a search for values. The woman whose llfo ended In (the suicide ward of one of tho city hospitals was a bad shopper. 'At the bargain coun ter. In search of benefits, sho had selected what was worthless, discarding what was worthy. "The power of living a beautiful life dwells In the soul," said Marcus Aurelius, "and consists In Indifference to those tilings which are Indifferent." The young girl peeps Into her mirror, and discovers with a thrill of pride that sho has suddenly, mysteriously, become pretty, of face and pleasing of figure, that the sallowness and awkwardness of yesterday have gone somewhere, some how, that sho Is growing up and has, dominion In a new, strange land, the land of admiration. Hovering timidly, fascinatedly, at life's I bargain counter, she Is In great danger, 'the greatest danger that besets a woman's life that of not knowing the worthy from what Is worthless. The stranger who twirls his cane with one hand and pulls his mustache with the other, while ho ogles her, she may, because this snooping Is so new to her,. mistake ror something genuine and worth while. If she watched him saunter a block further sho would see, the same twirling of the light cane, the same pulling at a feeble mustache, the samo rolling of shallow eyes at every other pretty girl he met. Worthless goods. The only man worth a second's consideration Is the ono who does not ogle, but who, looking with true, steady eyes Into your own, asks the only honest question: "Will you be my wlfer Yet every day, every hour of tho day, we see girls confusing male values.

A T7n1M f April 23, 1770, Captain Cook made England a present of the great Island-continent of the south to be known as Australia, a territory just about the size of the United States of America, exclusive of Alaska. It was April 23, 1770, when Cook sighted the coast of the great 'Island, and going ashore and finding a wil derness of plants and flowers they named tho spot "Botany Bay." 'It la n little strange that this beautiful place should have been used for a long time, as a dumping place for English convicts. Tho convicts were the 'first settlers," and to their credit; and to the credit of human nature in general, It Is said that they became the progenitors of some of tho finest people In the country.

There Is plenty of sentiment In the world, and In human hearts. If directed Into right channels. The world's heed Is rather the ballast of practical common senso than of fllght-provoklng senti ment. But there Is no doubt that every life is better and more profitable for the cul tivation of a spirit of good will. Tho hy percritical woman stultifies herself. She forms the habit of studying life through a microscope. She becomes a fault hunter. The best definition I have ever heard of a friend is that he Is one who, In and out of the season, wishes you well. That Is a good attitude to take toward life, toward' poople, toward tho world, of wishing them well. The difference between tho magnetic and unmagnetlc person Is simply In this atmosphere of thought.

From that lime the progress In every respect has been steady, the population today being between five and six mll lllon.

That Australia Is a coming country, mat its ruiure is destined to be a great one, is already1 assured. The first matter to be considered in connection with the casting of a coun try's horoscope la Its population and the character of that population. When It comes to the development of a country and the establishment of .real civilisation, one man with the right sort of blood ln his veins and the right sort of gray mat ter In his brain Is worth a thousand, or a million, who may be lacking In those directions. But there Is nothing tho matter with the blood and brain of the men of Aus tralia. They are the finest In the world full of fire and energy. Ambitious, de termined, unconquerable. The Intellect of the Australian Is as clear as the sky over his head, It Is a land of education, a land where men know how to think, and do think. In the solution of many of the great social and economlo problems that are vexing the children of .men the Australians are ahead of the world.

Up to this time trusts and combinations have failed to get a grip on the throat of the common wealth; and the good old doctrine of the "greatest good to the greatest number" receives In the great Island-continent of the south its finest and most substantial Illustration.

By GARRETT P. BERVlSB A correspondent asks whether it Is truo, aa ha has read, mat a xaim spinaie 01 light which an opera glass show ln the constellation Andromeda I ln reality an othtr xmlverse ly ing far off from tho uttermost shores of our uni verse and possess ing Its own Milky Way and it own cluster of star and .awarm of worlds. And, If nnybody believe this la so, he would like to know why, It will help to make the answer clearer If we first consider the appearance of the Andro meda nebula. Tho naked eye can Just glimpse It on n dark night like the merest speck of luminous smoke. An opera glass, ns above sold, shows It In tho form of n glimmering spindle. A powerful tole- pcopo reveals It as an elongated glowing cloud, the brightest part of which Is at leant twice an long nx the full moon Is broad when seen with tho naked eye. Two dark rifts sown to partially divide It lengthwise, and b small round nebula shines, like a little (ittendant, off at one side. The condensed parts' have a spark ling nppcarnnce, like frosted silver. A marvellous transformation takes pliire when a photographic plate Instead of the eye Is exposed at the focus of n telescope pointed at the Andromeda nebula, In the photograph the glowing cloud appear In the form of a grent Irregular central mass, surrounded by several moro or less broken rings, alt of which ar seen sloplngly, an that they look like long ellipses. The npprnronce I as If the whole nebula wero In whirling motion, like a gigantic cyclone of fiery clnujls, and the rlns.ii seem to bo flying asunder. Ilefore going further, something should be said about the probable size or thin wonderful object. Home observers have reported that they could trace Its faint extensions over a space four degrees In length, or eight times the breadth of the full moon. In ordor tp bo wall within the truth, however, let us assume thar the length of the brighter portion Is only one degree, Now, the actual size of an object which appears one degree broad depends upon it distance from the eye. We do not I know the distance of this nebula, but we have the best reason for helleylng , that It cannot be less tnan iw ugiu-year away I. e. light, which travels 186,00.1 miles per second, requires 100 years to come to us from It. In 100 yearn light travels, In round numbors, MO.OOO.OOO.OOO.lXM miles! That, then, Is tho least distance RBHBVV!fjll 0 J ) Universe- -J) that we can assume for the Andromeda tiabula. To tell how large It 1 we have only tr romomber that the apparent diameter ok Any objnet bears a fixed proportion Of its dlstnnoe. If the apparent diameter Is one degree tho distance will be about 6V.1 times tho renl diameter. In this case wi know that It cannot bo less than a cer tain amount, although It may bo more and we wish to find out the real dlnm ter from knowing the apparent alametor and the distance. All we havo to do, then. Is to dlvldi B80.000,000,0(.000 by 67. For the slmpllcftj cnll the illvlsor Sfi, and the result It 10,000,000,000,000. That tremendous number represents the length of the Andromeda nebula In mllas. To comprehend 11, let us make a little calculation. A swift projectllo from .t rrodern gun can go at tho rate of half a mile ln a second, thirty miles In a mtnuto, 1,800 miles In an hour, 43,200 miles In a .day, or 15,789,000 miles In a year. Such a projectile, If It kept right on. nver slowing In thn least, would tako about 040,000 years to pass from end to end through the Andromeda nebula, ns Burning that Its size Ir no greater than we havo supposed. A nil I road express, traveling a mile a minute, would re quire 1,920,000 years to make thnt trlpl Now, what Is the Andromeda nebula? To tho eye it resembles other nebulae, which we know are composed of gaseoun matter not yet condensed Into stars. But the spectroscope b1iob that It light Is not thnt of a trUo nebula, but rather resembles the light tht would come from a mrtss of stars so fnr away that po telescope and no photograph can reveal them separately to our eyes. l'or this reason some astronomers have guessed that It may be an outer universe, which we see dimly gleamlKg In the depths of space beyond our starry sysi tern. Whether this Is really so. or not we 'do not yet know, but If It I so, then we must conclude that many other so-called, nebulae are also other universes, for too. present the same peculiarity I In their light. For my own part, I am disposed 'to think that all of theto objects are parts of our universe, but we 'are hardly yet In a poslttsn -to be dogmatto on the sub ject.
