One of the universal aud dominant prob
lens of life IL how TO achieve success. Some
sensible suggestions on that point relating
especially TO mechanics are offered by the
North western MechsHic, which we reproduce
in condensed form The man who 10 to sue.
ceed as q mechanic the writer concludes,
must he y queer mixture of go abeadness AMI
con-ervs' ism. He must stick TO the old ways,
and yet be alive TO Mi tha' is new and
savors OF advance. To hold 10 old methods
and rractio. is TO be left behind
in the race, ~hile to adopt everything new
that presents itself would quickly relegate to
failure the unfortunate who attempted Il.
To # out what is good, and to reject the
worthless, is the problem the successfu1
mechanic his to solve. II is but con-
tbual example Of the truth OF DaYwin's
theory of the survival of the fttest."
The mecbanc preserves the best methods.
and is in turD kept aiiveby the very methods
he has preserved and put 10 work. The sue
cessful mechanic was enabled to succeed
because he possessed the faculties Of per-
ceiying what vas useful apd what was
worthless. Once this point determined, the
rest 10 easy. The good is to be kept, the
worthless discarded. but in knowing what TO
keep lies the sacret Of success. Must the

be a successful mechanic y man must

kinds of men will make good and sue

desired results from the material at hsnd.
He must be able to make the best Of tbings,
and all the born-in" charzct .ristics neces-
ssry is that sptness for mechanics without
which no man can put his heart and soul into
it az life work. Some men are bitter me-
chsnics than others. They obtain better
results from the same material than some Of
their co-laborers. The reason Of this 10 that
the men in question are better adapted 10 the
work they have to do. In other words they
are the "fttest." AMI will survive according
ly. They succeed better than we do because
they have better things to work with, brains
included. We might do better should We
think more and study out better methods and
opportunities.

MAYOR aARr's QuEarBs
A. to What Political Part Public Offio-
ials May Take Under Civil Service
Rules

Mayor Thomas N. Hart of Boston, Mass.
recently addressed q communication to the
civil service commission asking what part
members Of the civil service may properly
take in practical politics. In reply the com
mission says; Beyond the prohibi,
ton as to political assessments the
civil service act and rules confer no authority
or duty upon the commission to inter
fere in the conduct of the office holders
The commission has no part in removals ex-
cept where made for reasons forbidden by
act and rules. The system does not impair
the legitimate and sslutsry activity of par
ties or abrdge the right Of officials to vote
and freely express their opinions. A. to
where the precise line dividing the proper
and improper participation of office holders
and public servants in party politics is to be
drawn must evidently be lef, to the discretion
of the President and appointing officer"
The commission sent reply to the query
of a clerk in the New York post office who
asked whether political contribution made
at the request of the secretary of political
committee would be in violation of the law,
and whether if person was degraded or
dropped from the service for not making
such contribution the commission would in-
vestigate the matter.
The commission In reply says: "Act and
rnles do not prohibit a contribution by an
Office holder for political purposes the com
sion will investigate and report concerning
any dismissal or degradation of any person in
the civil service, or any change in his official
rank or compensation because he has given
or withheld any contribution Of money or
other valuable thing for any political pur-
pose"

connection with one alanson Folsom, have
been svindling many country people in
Western Massachusetts and New Hamp-
shire.
The doctor picked ont, by means Of sos-
sip and heafsay, persons known to be in
valids or sufferer from chronic disease !;
visiting them, be worked upon their feelings
BY dire prophecies and exalted accounts Of
his healing powers, obtained their consent 70
