TO GROW OLID GRACEFULLY
Dulrable Condition That Greatly Do
pends on One's Habits of Mind
Formed In Youth.
TI.e most Inevitable—and one of the
easiest—of the things we do is to grow
old. Vet whnt a difference there Is Id
the way different people ilo It!
Vou probably know, for instance,
sortie little old lady who, although she
may not be beautiful or brilliant, Is
Just "nice"—which is apt to mean
thin Instead of bossing or scolding, she
tries not tii be troublesome or unrea
sonable to those around her. Or rath
er, she does not have to try, for It Is
eliMnctct Istie of elderly human beings
that tbev seldom try very hard to form
new habits. Youth is the period of
endeavor, atul old age of results. This
is the reason for the futility of young
folks' displeasure at tlieir parents'
"old-fashioned" Ideas. Such Ideas are
fixed; they will nut change.
Yet not all elderly people are age
bound in their thoughts; many can be
tolerant of Innovations, and a few can
even adopt them. Such a flexible con
dition of 1 lie elderly mind Is, like the
rigid. Intolerant sort, a product of
earlier life and habits; it is not likely
to Indicate any particular good or
evil traft in the person possessing It.
If the young m:m or woman who
feels impatient ut the old folks' no
tions will cense to slims a shoulder
and exclaim: "1 hope I'm not like
that wlien I'm old." and will turn his
attention to the younger generation,
starting with himself. Ire Is likely to
do much more for human progress.
When li" himself has reached the age
of fixed ideas his character will de
pend on his previous habits of mind;
if he has kept himself free from prej
udice and cocksuredness and has been
always willing to learn better ways of
thinking and doing, he will be likely |
to remain correspondingly more ration- i
nl witli advancing years, and will. In .
truth riot be "like that" when he Is i
old.—f'endleton East Oregonian.
Elevator Rope In Coal Mines.
One of the most Impressive things
about a colliery, to an outsider, Is the
mammoth drum which winds the rope
which brings coal up from the pit. Tills
monster drum may measure 150 feet
In circumference, and weigh about 200
tons, and It will wind in the rope with
its load at a speed of nearly GO miles
an hour. There are miles of the rope,
when the pit is a deep one, like the
Yorkshire Main colliery's, whose ver
tical shaft holds the record for depth
by going down nearly 1,000,yards, and
for long distances horizontally. The
rope costs $10 a yard and Its maximum
life Is three and one-half years. Every (
inch of it passes each day through a
man's hands for examination Shaft
accidents are very rare.
Strange Leases.
For weird leases London would be I
hard to bent In some instances, says a I
correspondent. He dealt with houses
lately which were for sale and found
that the ground landlord was the duchy
of Cornwall, the leaseholder paying an
annual ground rent of fourpence! And j
this fourpence was sent every year In j
an envelope which cost twopence, and It
cost the duchy twopence to acknowl
edge reccipt! "But there Is a stranger
lease in the north of London," he said;
"some houses there are leased until
the death of the duke of Connaught.
There Is no other date attached to the
document."
"TOTEM POLES" TELL STORY
Are Historical Records, and Not, ai
Many Supposed, Idols to Be
Worshiped.
An art In sculpture not resembling
nny other nrt In the world, unless pos
sibly that of ancient Mexico, Is found
highly developed among the aboriginal
natives of the northwest coast.
Their material Is always wood, and
Is furnished by huge trees from the
forest, which nre carved Into the
most fantastic shapes. In this style
are sculptured the so-called "totem
poles," which, often of great size and
height, astonish the observer by the
intricacy of their workmanship and
the weird imaginativeness of their
complex designs.
Early missionaries In that part of
the world mistook the totem poles for
idols. As a matter of fact, they pos
sess no such significance, being merely
heraldic columns. Each tribal clan
has Its own traditions and myths,
which takes the place of history, and
these are symbolized by the extraor
dinary birds and otber animals, some
times human faces or figures, carved
on the totem poles.
Thus the Bear clan will have Its
heraldic column topped by the sculp
tured figure of a bear. The raven
shows up conspicuously as the totem,
or cr«-st, of the Raven clan; the whale
for the Whale clan, and so on.
To the unversed -a totem pole would
have no significance beyond Its queer
ness, but It Is In reality a whole story
carved In wood.
Power of Poise.
Poise Is power. The mail who Is
not master of himself under all condi
tions cannot feel the assurance, the
power, which Is the right of every hu
man being to experience. He Is never
sure of himself, and the man who Is
never sure of himself Is never wholly
at ease. He Is not even well-bred, for
good breeding Implies self-control un
der all circumstances.
There Is, perhaps, no other thing
which is so conducive to one's physical
and mental comfort, efficiency, happi
ness and success as a calm mind. When
the mind Is unbalanced, by anger, ex
citement, worry, fear or nervousness,
the entire body Is thrown out of har
mony. All tlie functions are deranged;
the man or woman Is not normal, and
Is, therefore, whatever the situation,
at a complete disadvantage, wholly un
able !o contend with It.—Orison Swett
MnrdeD in the New Success Magazine.
Sought El Dorado In Vain.
When Sir Walter Raleigh started out
to find his El Dorado he was seeking a
fabled city whose houses were covered
with sheets of pure gold, and which :
was surrounded by hundreds of square
miles of rock so filled with surface
gold that when the sun shone It was as
If a great yellow mirror was blazing as
far as the dazzled eyes could reach.
Raleigh, of course, found nothing that
even came near to such a wonder, and
many a brave gentleman of England
lost his life or his fortune In seeking
the same fabled El Dorado.
The Elite.
"Dr. Plllers seems to be a fashion
able physician."
"I should say so! He has patient*
at some of the most expensive health
resorts In America and a waiting list
of people whose health will give way
as soon as they get money enough to
consult him."—Birmingham Age-Her
