THE PRICE OF SUCCESS.
Tonors and Popularity Are Usual Base
on LnorInnu- labor.

Eonors and Popu1srity Are Usual v BASED
on Enormous Labor
The splcadOr Of such hCaors as have
come 10 Won Moltlso and 10 bismarck
shines I'm the eyes of all mea, but That
which very few men realize is the eaor-
nous labor on which their honors were
based Everybody sees results but very
few people perceive the means by which
results are attained. The outward show
ola great career imprcsses even the most
casual, but only the man himself knows
what prolonged and often agoni zing
work has secured those honors In this
life nothing worth having can be had
for the asking; one must pay for what
ever nc gets, and pay in sterling coin.
Tho moral order OF the world res oa
the true measure between work ana re-
w:.rd. In the degree that mans sue
cess is really great and worthy, he must
work 10 secure it; and behind the sue
cess which fills the world with It's re-
nown there lies buried body or work
as solid as the foundation under tho
lighthouse. Most men are not willing
TO pay the price of 4 great success. Tho
unbrokcn heroism of sixty years and
more OF work which is 10 be found ia
the lives OF Won Mcltlte and bismarck
and Gladstone demands a man Of .erOic
temper. These statesmen and soldiers
have won nothing for which they have
not paid fun price. They havo
climbed 10 the heights on which the
world now sees them, and what they
value, undoubtedly, is not that which
men sec, but that of which they them
selves are conscious-the integrity Of
the labor TO which their lives have been
given When a man secures these
great successes, the very training Of
preparation destroys the Illusion. Of
mere popular fame, and supplies him
with true standard of values. What
such man feels is not tho satisfaction
Of popularity, but the consciousness OF u
great work done, and the sense Of a vast
responsibility borne. Great placennye
means ease and seIf-indulCeroc: IL
means always arduous toll and solf-sac-
rifice- The great question for US all IS:
How much are we willing 20 pay FOR

UNLIMITED FRACTURES,
Delayed Union Occurs Often as Once 4
Five Hundred Cases.

Five Hundred Cases.
The failure OF broken bones to unite
firmly, which is met with now and then,
is usually due to some local or general
condition of the system, which binders
tho formation of solid bony tissue be-
tween the fragments. In many cases
an important element seems to lie in
the fact that too great freedom OF mo-
tion between the broken ends has been
permitted, but in persons who are de-
bilitated from disease there seems to be
sometimes a lack of the vital energy
needed to throw out the material viii ;h
shall hold the fragments in position.
According TO some authorities delayed
union-it usually takes place at last
occurs as often as once in five hundred
cases. AT such times what union does
dnally y take place is generally of fbrous
nature, and if the injury is in one of
the longer bones q so-called false Joint
may be the result DR.. Donald Mclean,
of Detroit, who sees many cases of this
kind among the lumbermen in the
northern part of his State, has come to
the conclusion that the cause of the
failure to unite lies largely in the sever
ity of the original local injury, which,
with his patients, is generally direct
blow from the trunk of tree.
The treatment is often difficult, and
always tedious. a nice fitting together
of the fragments, with care that no soft
tissue is caught between them-the pos
ition being retained by means of stiff
bandage-may be sufficient.
If the position is thoroughly pre-
served by the splints, it may be just as
well or even better, that the patient
move about, for certain amount of in
fammatory action is necessary in order
to get the full reparative power of ma
ture.. For the same purpose the ends of
the bones are sometimes rubbed smartly
together before being placed in the stiff
bandage
The modern system of performing op-
erations under the protection of carbol-
ic acid spray, or other antiseptics, which
prevent the entrance of the microbes
which produce blood-poisoning, makes
possible some operations that in former
times would certainly have been fatal
Among other things, there has been in
troduced method of treatment which
consists of saving off the ends of the
bones and fastening them together by
nails or wires; but it seems to Doctor Nc
Lean, from the study of his cases, that
hose do quite as well in which the sole
.eliance is put on the outside dressing
without the use of wires. In some
eases where wires are used it becomes
necessary to perform a subsequent op-
Grafton for their removal.-Youth's

Discbarging a man for any cause is
duty that most employers dislike. says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. To get around
the disagreeable part of this obligation
some men resort to subterfuge more or
less amiable. For instance, certain
firm in New York had letter form
which il always used when bouncing had

That reminded me of a foreman in
factory who was SO soft hearted that he
never could bring himself TO IRE a man

essary to get rid of a hand he used TO

When, in the first fair flush Of happy youth,
looked with loving eyes upon thy face,
1t seemed 10 me l there could ind in truth
The perfect type OF beauty and Of grace
And as the bells rang ont their gladsone chime
That day when We were wed, did not dream
That ever, with the TaeIiowing OF time,
Gould that sweet face OF thine more lovely
seem
Yet as see thee now-thy crown OF white;
The glory OF Thy uaOthcrhood. the lines
Upon thy brow and cheek, marks OF times
flight;
The many swceSnesses thy life conbines-
MethinlSs that in my youth my lud 5nient erred
Despite thy beauty seeming so benign,
This heart OF mine hath never been 50 stirred
As by the IoveIircss that now Is thine

FIRST STORY.

The fireplace was not an institution CON-
mon to modern Greece and Rome-cer-
tainly not in dwelling houses. Yet we
have nothing more classic or beautiful
than the old Grecian and Roman forms as
adapted to the fireplaces of old colonial
homes. These may be seen today. These
old mantels are being resurrected from
junk shops and neglected houses.
The plan given was originally drawn for
frame house, but was afterward changed
in form and detail to correspond with the
external design shown which is the
French Gothic of the Sixteenth and Sew
enteenth centuries. This style was orig
inally used in stone. However, it is read
lily adaptable to brick and terra Gotta,
than which there is no better building ma
terial. Terra Gotta is the perfection of
brick making. 1t is the one building ma
terial which is not affected by any of the
natural or artificial changes in tempera-
ture or by other climatic qualities. Burnt
clay in its various forms is not affected by
fire, water or frost. The great mistake
which many of our designers make in
handling terra Gotta is that they give it
constructive forms which are peculiar to
stone, and not the brick forms which nat
urally belong to it. Thus it is that these
later Gothic styles are better adapted to
terra Gotta than some of the later earlier
Gothic and classic styles.
In this plan there is center hall which
connects with the library and parlor on
either side. There is combination stair
way leading to the second floor. The part
of the stairway which leads from the
kitchen is separated therefrom by two

frame houses built has been on the in
crease. The principal reason for this is the
cost. More display can be made for the
same money in a frame house than in one
of brick, and there can be no doubt that
there has been a very strong movement in
the direction of display in the building of
houses during the past. There are people
of good taste and quiet manners who
would disdain to go on the street dressed
in loud, vulgar manner, yet who are
proud to live in houses crude in their de-
tail and common in their general structure.
This movement has been somewhat con-
certed; it has been general, and it is only
recently that reaction has appeared. The
people have been told that man will show
his character in house building; that one
may build substantially, in good taste,
permanently, and show his general quail
ties of character. Hence there are many
who, either in justice to themselves or for
the purpose of counterfeiting that which is
genuine, have effected the idea of solid
dignity, and the brick house with the stone
foundation, or the frame house of rational
design and general good taste, has come to
be more frequent.
The old colonial house had its origin
among a quiet, home loving, refined, un-
ostentatious people. The remains of these
houses show the best domestic architecture
which we have in this country. The old
colonial builders used the classic styles
the Roman and Grecian-and adapted
them to the habits and requirements of the
old colonial people. They did this thing
boldly and without hesitation.

that our child's inheritance should not

a handsome volume in which he record

Messrs. Hammer & Tongs have the honor to
