Success in Life.
Toledo Blade

Success in these days is only at
tanned by a steady persistence in fol-
lowing some one thing that will not
allow any swerving, any switching
off of the track for other purposes, no
matter how important they may seem
at the moment Years ago, those
people possessing what is called
genius for many things, might have
attained a pre-emnence in more than
one direction, but sharp competition
renders that impossible now. To 90
ahead, to be in advance, Of even the
peer of ones fellows, demands
thorough understanding of the call
ing entered upon, and determined
application that recognizes no pos
slbllity of failure. What was medic
Gritty once is worse than that now, and
is soon pushed to the wall entirely.
This very thing renders that subject
of industrial education of greater and
growing importance year by Year.
Competitions permit no half way
work, and unless a boy or girl is
ton there is little chance of success.
Not only that, but training that
shall educate the eve, the hand, the
brain, even though not in the exact
direction of what is to be attempted,
is a guaranty of good work in any
trade, business or profession.
Another thing is also necessary in
these days The inclination of the
youth, his peculiar bent in mind, the
taste of ability which he displays for
any one kind of study of work should
be carefully studied. Distasteful labor
may be done well, but it Is never ac-
complished with the enthusiasm that
lifts 1t above drudgery and brings the
highest success. A mediocre lawyer
may be made out of one who would
have been a splendid machinIs a
poor preacher out of a good trades
man. An accurate eye and artistic
taste that would develop "A fine
painter can never he made into a
tirst-class merchant and vice versa.
Here again sharp competition comes
in with a force that demands every
advantage that can be given in order
to insure prosperity. These two
things, however, natural taste and ed
ucation in the right direction, i'm
portant factors as they are in success
in life, are worth little without what
was first spoken of, namely, persis-
tence. 1t has often been said, and
there is much truth in 1t, that there
is nothing beyond the bounds of pos
sibilitv in the way of achievement,
providing the will to- continue work
ing remains strong, through dis
comagements and seeming failures.

ABOVE Sierra City, Cal, may now
be witnessed the sight Of a snow
bridge crossing the Yuba river. 1t
was caused by an immense snow-slide
which completely damned the river
and formed an immense reservoir.
Pressure at last forced the water
through and underneath the dam,
leaving the top of the snow to form a
complete arch across the stream. 1t
is so hard that teams are driven over
in perfect safety.

Padded Women.

A writer in the California News
Letter says: l remarked as | sat at
the window that, after all San Fran
cisco women are the most stylish
dressers anywhere to be seen-thelr
figures so slim, and yet SO round and
perfectly in proportion, set off the
exquisite toilets admirably.
Every woman seems to have
pretty shape, | remarked lnnocently,
'therefare there is little credit to you
for the perfect fits you make"
Madame looked at me with sur
prise Don't you know that we have
more bother over these same figures
than making a dozen dresses2' she
went on. "A woman comes here as
flat as a pancake-uo bust, no hips
no anything. Here is velvet and
brocade, says my customer. Make
nee an elegant-dtting dress, and of
course you will have to make my
figure first
Then l build up the figure; several
sheets of wadding are pinned over the
hips, and it taken quite a time to
make the proper shape. Then the
bosom of the corset being perfectly
empty is neatly packed with more
wadding. Wadding is also laid in
the hollow of the chest, where you
may often bury an egg; and, having
stuffed my block, | go 10 work to fit
The wadding placed on the figure
goes into the dress, and yards of still
.crinoline are packed into the drapery
at the back"
so, then, madame, most of your
fine 6gures are thin"
Skin and bones you mean; and
don't | turn them out well2" said the
.exultant dressmaker,
"Well, you certainly do; but what
a disappointment they must be to
their husbands when they marry,
say, refectively.
"Well l should rather think so; the
men marry plump young cartridges,
and find them in the end simply bags
of bones.
