ONES OWN PLACE

".J. . v. '... ■ ' V PROBLEM THAT CONFRONTS SOY A STARTING LIFE WORK. Examinations Made by Experts Are) of Supreme Importance tn Guiding Footsteps of Youth Into Their Propet - Sphere. In view of the practical quality of the results of psychological examinations, it is not unreasonable, to .suppose that much practical knowledge can thereby be gained concerning an individual, which may give a clearerconception as to his place in the world, and may even indicate - the conditions whiChjJead to his fullest development, Pearce- Bailey, M. If., writes in Scribner’s. The boy who seems to have ho special qualifications or special interests when he reaches the period when he should begin to prepare for his life work is convicted by his own indifference of not being first class. In the event of his parents having no employment or occupation ready at hand, he falls into something haphazard. Such a boy under present arrangements may have aptitudes which might permit him to excel at some particular calling, or he may have defects which definitely prohibit certain callings. There is another class of boys between whom and their parents there is disagreement as to what they should do. Each is, perhaps, controlled by an idealistic preference for’some occupation, but the ideals do not coincide. Psychological examinations might determine whether the boy really had some leaning to or qualifications for what he wanted to do, or whether his ideals on the subject were purely imitative without solid foundation, and whether he would do better at the calling his father wished, him to follow. In deciding this question, the antipathy which not infrequently exists, although hotly denied, between parent and child would have to be considered. It has often been found, when a parent is determined on some one thing and the son just as obstinately on another, that the divergence is not on the real issue, but on a personal antagonism which neither of the two admits. There is another large class of boys and young men who are almost certainly predestined to get in wrong unless they are wisely directed in youth. There is some twist in their mental make-up, either Congenital or acquired, which unfits them for certain lines of work, and if they follow these lines the restjit is not only economic failure, but physical and mental collapse. Such young persons are recognizable by a variety of signs. . . . There, isno absolute standard by which such individuals may be judged as a class. On the contrary, each <>ne is different, depending upon . heredity, environment, early education, passionate prejudices

acquired, through ■ individual experience, a lack of balance in learning and a discrepancy in moral development, capacity ami, ideals. Each requires a different social remedy. They are boys that- present the most serious problems that parents have to face, such as‘drinking, failure in studies, tendency to evil associations, criminal and immoral tendencies. The vast majority of these are the product of conditions and are not incurable’delinquents. Could the fundamental disharmony be recognized early enough, and could Conditions be changed, many of these boys might be saved from ultimate collapse and might become useful citizens, r' . •*■■._

Cabbages and Kings.

The time has come, indeed, to talk of “cabbages and kings,” Of kings enough has been said. But surprising reports come concerning cabbages. A year ago they were sold at six dollars a ton, and there was no market for them. Hundreds of tons were fed tb hogs and much of the product was used for fertilizing. This jjtear the wholesalers are paying Maine farmers $8 a ton for cabbages, and it is expected the wholesale price will go to a hundred dollars a ton before spring. Half the cabbage used in New England comes from western Maine. Farm mortgages in that section are being erased, and savings bank deposits are growing.—New Bedford Mercury.

When He Escaped.

The other Sunday evening, when church service was oyer, a young curate started on his journey home, accompanied by two young ladies of the choir, when they began a conversation about hymns. “What is your favorite hymn?” asked the curate, turning to one of his fair companions. J “ ‘Draw me nearer,’ ” she replied. * At that moment- her companion, who was walking on the other side of the curate, to make matters worse, said innocently: “That is only the chorus; the commencement of the verse is, ‘I am Then the curate sought safety in flight.—London Tit-Bits.

Retribution.

A certain man broke through the ice. As the freezing waters clutched him he screeched most eerily for help. Another- man came rushing up, and then, detecting the Identity of the gentleman 1«. the drink, turned and sauntered away, whistling. “He was one of those cold-bath cranks.” he explained next day to the reporters.—-Judge.

MADE PROPOSAL BY PROXY

His Task Was Similar to John Alden’s, but Fortunately It Had a Different Result. " One day while Bev. .1, Hines, a wellknown retired Canadian missionary, was residing near Sandy lake' an Indian came to him and after much.preliminary conversation 1 said: “Well it is about six months.since my wife died, and just before she left me she said in'the presence 6f witnesses that if I remained single until the following spring I was to get married again, and, as the leaves are already big on the tree?, ! have come to see you and heay wh.-it you have to say about it.” ; When I told him that there was no law. to prohibit his taking another wife sp soon, he went on, “1 want you to a wife for me.” "Why,” I said, "I should not Care to undertake such a responsibility, for, if I,named a woman and you married her and afterward she did not please you, you would be most likely ..Jo blame me for your unhappiness.” “No, I should not,” lie said. Then I said, “In the first place I do not know whether you want to marry an old or a young woman, and I must have something to gui<V - me in making a selection.” ■ “Well,” he said, “I do not want to be troubled with an old woman, and I do \not suppose a young woman would care to be troubled with me; I want a woman about my own age.” I w;as much pleased with his words, for they seemed to me to be sensible and thoughtful; so I mentioned a widow about his own age, whom I had noticed taking great interest in his bereaved children. “Ah!” he “said. “I knew you were guided by the great spirit in all you .undertake. That is the very woman I have been thinking about, and how could you' have unless the great spirit had guided your judgment?” “Well,” I replied, “I am glad that you look at it in that way; now you had better go and propose to her.” “No.” said he, “I cannot do that. If I knew she would say ‘yes,’ I should go; but she might say ‘no,’ and Indians never like tq, have their petitions rejected when they go on business of that nature.” Then I asked him what he intended to do. ."Why, sir,” he said, “I want you to propose for me !” Well, I was in a fix; but having yielded so far to his request, I felt bound in some way to .go on to the end. SO, having obtained my wife’s permission, I called on the widow at my earliest convenience and explained matters to her. taking great pains to make her understand I was proposing for the other fellow and not for myself, My mission was successful, and in due course they were lawfully married, and tile union proved a happy oue—“The Ked Indians of rhe Plains.”

Profit in High Wages.

Wherever rubber grows, there iniquity flourishes. Tropical fruits are made/vheap because human life where they grow is cheap. The spirit of humanity is just beginning to creep into the relations between those who have much and those who have little. But a rare discovery has been made. Strange as it may seem, it has been proved by experiment that if pays to be reckless of expense when service is sought ami rendered. That which has coflie'to pass in the higher ranges of employment, where salaries have been increased tenfold and even more, is happening all along the line where labor and capital meet. Five dollars paid in wages to one competent man brings a larger return than $5 paid to five incoihpetent men and women; and the larger wage, brings the greater fitness for the work. Better wages stir amtjition and cause the horizon to expand.—Christian Register,

Chimney Comparatively New.

The chimney is something that Is relatively new in architecture. Many of the old castles and other buildings of Europe which were constructed before the fifteenth century have no chimneys. In some of them a flue leads from the back and above, the fireplace through the wall to the outer air. It was somewhere about the thirteenth century that in certain buildings the masons began to run the flue to the top of the building, but the chimneys of that, period had openings in the side, the fop being roofed over. It was about the fifteenth century that' masons began to build chimneys that extended above the roof of the house and to leave the top of the chimney uncovered.— Washington Star.

Rich Graphite Mines.

Important graphite- deposits near TurkuShansk are now being worked, and it is expected that the mines will supply sufficient mineral to fill the demands of the country and-leave a little for export purposes. Tests have shown that this mineral is to be had at this point in very large quantifies, but the most important feature of the mines is the purity of the yield, which Is said to average 98 per cent pure carbon. The graphite supply has heretofore corae mainly from Austria and Ceylon, but "the Russian mines promise to equal these sources of supply.

Second Thought.

Mrs. Fidgettes—l wish you’d call Willie in the house and punish him severely. He’s been out in the yard whistling the same thing all afternoon and it annoys me dreadfully. Her Husband —That’s not Willie whistling. It’s a bird. ’ Mrs. Fidgettes—A bird? How I love the dear little feathered songsters I

READJUSTMENT

By ALICE WEBBER.

Ann Morgan was trying to get hold of herself and finding It the hardest proposition sfie had ever attempted. It was a struggle to reach out for common sense after the blind of affection, and there was nothing to help except the newness of the life about her.> It was, its if she had gone back to the very beginning of-things. In a way she had. She and her father were living outside a French village in a weather-beaten house across the border from New Brunswick; with a cook stove, two beds, a ’rough table and a couple of chairs. Her father was like a boy in this environment and did tlie .cooking» wly I 0 Ailn. made a'l <■ t• rfi 1 iti.ed effort to find a glimmer of light, Otherwise called sanity, in the darkness that encpnrpassed her. When she reached St. Attegat, during the early days of .lime, she had been too indifferent to ••are for the. quaintness of tier surroundings. Her father had been alarmed* about her health, and tlie family physician, unable to discover cause for her illness, had sent her where he knew the air was sweet and pure. As she sat listless under the shadow of a sugar maple, Ann thought of his words. She had honestly tried to bring herself into touch, with the life about her, but health was as yet too far away for her to have any other feeling than one of indifference. Her life was primitive in the extreme. She was miles from a railroad and tfie mail came but once a' month. She and her father were dependent upon a neighbor, Mr. Chandler, for that and he had brought it for the first time that evening. There were no letters. She had expected none, but the longing of the spirit cannot always be subjected to pride and there were times, like the present, when it seemed as if nothing mattered but the sight of the man she cared for. And she had given him up. The cruelty of it was that she had learned she was but the means to an . end, had stumbled, upon the knowledge within a week of her wedding day. In the Corcoran art gallery she had paused beside the entrance to one of the rooms when the murmur of voices caught and held her attention. “No, I do not love her,” she heard. “Fortunately I am interested in no other Woman, else it- might go hard with me. Her father is wealthy. She is rich in her own right and I will be able to gratify ambitions hitherto merely dreanis.’? As he finished speaking two men came face to face With Ann and she looked directly into the eyes of the man she had expected to marry. Pride came to her aid in her effort to adjust herself to her new. qutlook upon life, but in the end shy .was bundled off to St. Attigaf. ami here she met Mr.- Chandler, wit# Whom her father foundcongenial companionship, lie had a way of watching her that was dis'eoncertiug. and this, in time, made her conscious she was not good to look at. She became ■oversensitive about her lack of color and 'one day rummaged through her trunk for her vanity box and was chagrined not to find It This incident marked a change. Imperceptibly the outdoor life was making a difference in Ann. She took long walks, and would stroll off for hours alone. One evening she did not return. Chandler, with her father, found her on the edge of the river with a twisted ankle and dislocated shoulder. She had slipped from the rock where she had been .fishing, she told them later.

When they discovered her Mr. Morgan promptly went to pieces. She was all he had, and if anything happened to her he was of no more use than a baby. Mr. Chandler carried her home with about as much feeling as if she had been a bundle of rags, she thought, in the moment when a glimmer of reason made her try to recover her dignity and slip from, his arms. It-was then he gave her a little shake and tolcfdrer to lie still. Just the merest jingle, but it sent needles of flame all over her, and she knew nothing more until she was on her bed with the two bending oyer her. Between them she was made comfortable ; yet she was not comfortable in her mind. She could not understand the odd look in Mr. .Chandler’s eyes when she bad first opened her own, and now, after a month of inactivity, she was still puzzled She had not seen it since. He gave her understanding and pleasant friendship, but that was all. And she had begun to care. The thought troubled her. Was she lacking in constancy that she could so soon forget one man for another?. But as slier looked back upon those feverish days, she told herself she had been in love with love. That, she knew, was not the real thing, and she had discovered this, here in the midst of na-ture-had learned to distinguish between the false and the true, and with all her heart she prayed that the thing that makes life perfect would come to her. Apd it came unexpectedly, as so often"happens. She was alone, trying for the first .£&%e to walk about the house, clinging to whatever offered support, when she heard footsteps. Turning hastily, she sav? Mr. Chandler standing in the doorway with arms outstretched. He said no word and she did not speak, but with shining eyes and heightened color she limped straight into them and hid her face against his coat sleeve.
