THE ULTIMATE TEST.
Placing the Responsibility for Failure "A
Candid Self-Examination.

Placing the Responsibility Tor faiure-A
Candid Self-Examination.
There is no more subtle temptation
than that which contantly leads us to
foist upon others, or upon clcum-
stances and conditions, responsibility
which really lies upon ourselves. When
men fail in an undertaking, the first
impulse of the majority is to try to dis
cover the cause of failure in something
outside of their own intelligence, skill,
knowledge, or purpose. We are always
tempted to find in others the defects
which exist in ourselves, and to hold
others responsible for the consequence
of those defects. When man discovers
that his work is not gaining that effec-
tiveness, skill and perfection which 1t
ought to have, his first duty is to bring
home to himself with unsparing Sc
verify the question whether or not he
is responsible. 1t sometimes happens
that mans failure to achieve the high
est results is due to adverse conditions,
to failure in cooperation, to lack OF
sympathy and intelligence on the part
of others. This is sometimes the result
Of candid examination, and then a
man has right to hold himself free
fl ON responsibility Of failure; but 1t
oftener happens that when the search
light is turned inward, and we take ac-
count of ourselves with impersonal and
impartial eXactness, we discover that
our own egotism has concealed from us
the defects In which lies the secret of our
failure. The first step toward better
work and higher success is clear
knowledge of our fitness or unfitness
for the thing we are attempting to do
when we have discovered our error and
luid o finger upon our weakness we are
prepared to rectify the one and remove.
the other. The highest tribute we can
pay to our best selves Is to hold our
selves relentlcssly TO its judgment, for
the success which gives satisfaction is
never external 1t is evidenced by ex-
ternal achievements, but the satisfac-
ton lies in the possession of a quality
which makes those achievements possi-
tle. No man need be discouraged by
the discovery Of his own defects, for
the knowledge of defect ought to be
iu itself IN inspiration to new effort,
The thing to be avoided is not this clear
knowledge of our own limitations, but
the ignorance which keeps us blind to
faults which others discover, and which
leads us to the injustice of laying upon
others the responsibility which we
ought to shoulder ourselves, A mans
first duty, therefore, when he is con-
fronted by criticism or by evidences Of
failure. is to subject himself to search
ing and critical examination, to be alb
solutely and nusterely honest with him

quality which makes a new resolve pos

BISHOP SLEEVES.
They Are Coming Into Fashion and Are
BecOmIDg,


Becoming.
While rumor floats In the air as to
the possible narrowing Of sleeves, the
bishop sleeve has come in by the side
door with no one to announce it.
A few outer jackets were first
brought out with the sleeve cut in this
style; u few more weeks and then the
velvet-coated women had adopted 1t.
Now the house-bodices of heavy-ig-
ured satin have the full, becoming
sleeve to the wrist.
There are few women who cannot
afford to wear sleeve so made. The
slender arm looks larger and the stout
one is hidden, Very little s,iffening
is placed in them, and the shoulder
seam must be quite long, with the
sleeve dropping from it toward the ell
bow.
DO you know how the new sleeves Of
Ill patterns are put into the armholc ?
They have four or six rows Of shirrng
to hold the fnllness.
This plan is far more attractive than
the plaits to which we clung so fondly

GOOD BREATHING.

Follow the Manner of the Arabs and You
Are Wise.
When the craze for physical training
spread over the land some years ago
much attention was paid to the athletic
pupils in educational institutions, the
natural result being that those who
most needed training along that line
were almost entirely neglected for tho
Individual, and no account was taken
of the needs of women, who for centur-
les, as a sex, have worked and walked
with one set of muscles and abandoned
the use of others entirely, with the re-
suit of losing poise and displaying in
every movement sad lack of reserve
force. All this is changed now, or well
into the initiatory state of change, for
men and women. Poise is returning.
Deep and full breathing is generating
healthful, magnetic warmth that sur
rounds the body as a rare charm.
1t is often wondered that professional
women retain their strength of voice
so long. This wonder will readily dis
appear when it is reflected that singer
or an actress has to daily practice vocal
and breathing gymnastics, the require
ments of her art demanding such work.
The result Is that the muscles of her
throat and chest and back and abdomen
are developed as those of few women
are. If she be wise she walks great dis
tances and rides horseback, all the
while utilizing every common sense
truth about breathing that she has been
at such pains and expense to learn.
1t is not necessary, nor is II always
safe, to experiment in breathlAg. The
chief thing is to breath in the sun
shine and fill the lungs completely, and
then to empty them completely. Stand
ing at an open window or reclining with
the waist or chest unconfined, hold the
chest walls high and inhale in slow,
long breaths; exhale as slowly, three
times only at first. Gradually the num-
ber may be increased and the time
heightened for breathing exercises, but
st least twice day Is minutes should
be taken for exercise Of this sort and
subsequent rest. The following exer-
else in breathing is one used by the
Brahmans and Yogis Of India. The re-
suit is wonderful invigoration that is
almost electrical. Take position
lying relaxed and prone on the floor.
Breathe In vigorous, slow and
rhythmical inspirations and stretching
the chest walls out and up, like an ac-
Gordon Then concentrate the mind
resolutely and for an appreciable length
-ef.time onSthe feet, the'handsand arms
the knees, the elbows, hips, shoulders,
abdominal region, the upper chest,
the brain, with new energy and nerve
force to the tired parts; the mental
exercise will not be the least valuable
Of this ancient process. If excessive
fatigue has preceded the exercise turn
at its completion to position lying fiat
on the abdomen with the head first on
one side, then on the other. Continue
deep and regular breathing until you
can get up feeling yourself made over.
This is the only form of rest allowed
to the Arabs on their long journeys
across the great deserts.-Chicago Inter

The most of people make wealth the

MORBID BROODING.

Unwholesome Self-Introspection Shouid
Be Guarded Against as Temptation.
A science called infant culture was in
vogue in Germany few years ago
The parents of newborn babes were
furnished with diaries which were to
DC filled up from day to day with
minute observations upon the looks and
actions of the children, from which OBJ
servations could be deduced general
rules concerning their development in
body, mind and character.
The effort, though well-meant, was
abandoned, as no committee could be
found with patience enough to read
the countless bulky volumes brought
in by fond parents. One of the advo-
Gates of the system, in explaining its
aim to the late DR.. Jowett, was asked;
"And how long do the parents con-
tinue their record"
Until the child is able to write. 1t
becomes his duty then to note his daily
progress, physical, mental and moral
and to make notes of it."
"Hout ava, mon!" cried the doctor,
breaking into broad Scotch, as he al'
ways did when enIaged. "Are ye n"t
content wi turning a the grown folk'
into race O. bores, but must ye make
c. a their children self-conscious
idiots?"
A noted English literary man, lately
dead, was given from childhood to NOR
hid self-introspection. His own tempta-
tons and faults were tavorite subjects
OF contemplation and conversation with
him. Stevenson, the author, is said to
have listened to one of these unwhole'

smile until there was pause.

sustenance, of Lecper trust, wrought
In your heart; then il has all been

Was thus accomplished. Distinctly thus
