Success in. Life.

What is success in life. and who is
the successful man? Is it not he who
sets out in life with the determination
to accomplish certain object. con-
centrates all his energies upon its at
tainment. and attainS il, no matter
what else befallS him? If. then. l
strive to be rich, like the late Jay
Gould. and win riches, am | less sue
cessful because at last, like him. | am
afflicted with bad health, which cuts
short my days and prevents me from
enjoying my riches? Am l less sue
cesSful as lawyer or banker be-
cause my wife is a vixen or my children
are spendthrifts? Most certainly not.
Yet many persons would seem to think
l am. Why, asks great Roman sat
irist, do you wish for wealth, which
ruined Seneca; or for eloquence, which
caused DemoSthenes and Cicero to be
assassinated; or to be great general
like Hannibal, who was defeated at last
and killed himself in exile? But did
not each of these men win the very
thing he aspired to win? Why, then,
judge of his career by its last days, as
if its character depended mainly on
its catastrophe? Why regard a mans
life as successful if it end triumph
antly, and as failure if it end disas-
trously?
If Hannibal and Napoleon sought to
be great generals, and because such.
were they less successful because they
finally met with reverses IN war and
died ingloriously? Was General Grant
an unsuccessful man because he died
of very painful disease? Was Will
lam Pitt. who aspired to be and be-
came the leading statesman and Par
liameatary orator of Great Britain,
unsuccessful because his efforts to
crush the hydra headed power of Ma
poleon were defeated by the victory at
Austerlitz and he sunk under the blow?
If he won the highest station in the
ingdom-was First Lord of the Treas
ury and Chancellor of the Exchequer
did he not obtain the object of his
wishes, albeit he died of a broken
heart? Because. again, the object of
mans life pursuit does not satisfy

COUNTESS TOLSTOY.
The Clever Wife Of tho Famous
Russian Novelist.
She Svmpathizes with the Philosophical
Views of Her Husband, But Is Too
Practical to Live Up to
His Doctrines.

In 1860 Count Lyef Nikolaevitch Toll
stoy, then thirty-two years of age, re-
solved never to marry, and as an earnest
of his resolution, sold the manor house
of his estate. Its purchaser removed
the body of the house, leaving what
had formerly been its wings standing as
detached buildings, and in one of these
the hermit count took up his abode. To
this place, two years later, says a
writer in the Ladies' Home Journal, he
brought his bride, Sophia, the young
daughter of German physician resi-
dent in Moscow, and within its bare
walls for seventeen years they made
their home. No one who has not expe-
rienced the loneliness and retirement
which such a residence entails can ap-
preciate how absolutely within herself
and her home the wife's interest must
have been. And yet, in spite of this,
Countess Tolstoy (this is the SPELL
ing of the name used by the family
upon their French visiting -cards and in
writing in English) has breadth of
character and an aptitude for the larger
interests of life which has certainly
not been developed from her environ
ment.
Their summer home-and, indeed,
the place where the greater part of the
year is spent-is called Yasnaya Poly:

The daily routine of life at this
Russian "Clearfeld' is simple one.
In the morning, tea and coffee, with
bread and butter, are served in the
large hall. after which stroll is taken
througL the woods to a small river, a
mile distant, where bath is INDUCED

served under the trees, at which meal

Dinner is served out-of-doors.

BRIGHT prospects in building.

A well known business man, mem
Der or one Of the largest building firms
OF the city, stated yesterday that the
prospects for many residences being
erected in and about the city next
spring was very bright. This gentle
man said that the lumber men, antici-
pating big trade last summer, had
laid in large stocks of materials. The
unlocked for depression came on, and
as a result their hopes Of big building
boom were blighted to a considerable
extent. BY reason Of this the con-
tractor affirmed that building materials
were greatly reduced IN price, the fall
being as much as 81 a thousand Of many
kinds of building materials He be-
lieved that these prices would still be
reduced farther before winter is over.
This gentleman believes that next
spring will be the best time to have
houses built in the city and its suburbs
for many years. Asked as to where
be thought the most building would be
done, it was thought the Eighth ward
and McMechen would have the most
improvements, though he believed that
many fine structures would be erected
along the motor line.
