A Secret Of Success.

A young man has gone half way to-
ward the goal ofsuccess when he goes
about thing in dead earnest. No
dilly-dallying will do. No matter how
triAing the task, it should claim his en-
tire attention while he is engaged in
it. There should be no fooling about
il.
Hell do" said a gentleman, de-
cisiveIy, speaking of an Office boy who
had been in his employ but single
day.
What makes you thiuk 90? "
Because he gives himself up 50 en-
tirely to the task in hand. watched
him while he swept the Office, and al
though there was a procession with
three or four brass bands in it that
went by the Office while he was at
work, he paid no attention to it, but
swept on as if the sweeping Of that
room was the only thing Of any con-
sequence on this earth at that time.
Then | set him to addressing envel-
ope., and although there were a lot Of
pictures and other papers on the desk
at which he sat he paid no attention
at all to them, but kept right on sd-
dressing those envelopes until the last
one Of them was done. He'll do, be-
cause he is thorough, and dead in ear
nest about everything"
You may naturally be very smart
person you may be so gifted that
you can do almost anything; but all
that you do will lack perfection if you
do not do it with all Of your heart
and strength.

A So, 300, 900 Sermon.

When the Rev. Frank w. Gunau.
lus, D. D., now president Of the Ar
mour institute of Technology. was pas
tor Of Plymouth Church. he moved all
Chicago with his oratory. A young
giant physically, with an uneqnaled
power Of poetic expression, he threw
himselfinto the affairs ofthe Lake City
and accomplished world Of good. In
the six years Of his service at Plymouth
Church he raised something over $6,-
100000 for institutions which he chose
TO aid as found. He began a series Of
Sunday night addresses at Central Mu-
sic Hall, in State street, where the ca
pacity Of the great place was tested
and thousands were turned away long
before the hour for the address was at
hand, and he founded a home for
young boys Of the street than which
there is no more Hourishing institution
in the West today. The most inter.
esting thing to be related Of him is
that be preached a rousing sermon one
Sunday at Plymouth in which he get
forth, in his finest manner, the things
that ought TO be doae for the young
boys and girls Of our generation.
When he was through member OF bis
congregation, Philip d. Armour, the
graf pork packer, came forward and
taking him by the hand, said
do you believe in those ideas you
just suggested ?"
Il certainly 10, said DIR. Gunsslus.
"And you'd carry them out if you
had the means2"
Most sssuredly."
"WelI, then, said Mr. Armour, IF
you will give me FIVE years Of your
time, ! will give you the money"
The result was that Armour Insti-
tute was founded, with DR.. Gunsaulus
as its president, where this year l. 200
young men and women will be taught
the most important industrial branch
es. That Sabbath address is going
down to history under the title Of the
"$2, 100000 sermon"

And Save Endless Suf-
fering which Winter
Brings.

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
vclop the disease. What appears
to be only bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.
For years | suffered from q severe
case of Catarrh, and took several kinds
of medicines and used various local ap-
plications, but they had no effect what
ever. l was induced to try S. S. s.
(Swift's Specific) and after two months
/ was perfectly well and have never
felt any effects of the disease since.
"B. P. MoALLIsTER,

1t is easy to see the Importance
of prompt treatment for Catarrh.

Gowns Which Cost So, 800.

The gowns that Lady Curzon, of Ked-
lection, has ordered in Paris to take out
to India with her have been a topic of
serious discussion in England and
France, and have divided honors with
tn. Nile question Such an order wa,
never placed with the great dress
maker. before not even by any Of
the grand ladies of Russia, who are
noted for their semi-barbaric splendor
Of raiment. The bills for these su-
perb creations will amount to $4,000,
some of the gowns costing $500 each.
There are forty dresses and carriage
cloaks, capes, hats and laces, but this
bill does not include the lingerie nor
the Jewels that are being purchased.
Such splendor has never been shown
to the Indian Court, and never has
such beautiful woman gone out as
Vicereine.
Mary Letter was always ambitious
to the last degree, her whole life be-
ing set upon reaching something Mt
terly beyond her other countrywOmen.
But it is doubtful if in her widest
fancies she ever dreamed Of so exalted
a position as she has now reached. If
it has come as surprise she is csr-
tainly going to make the most of it,
and she will commence an era Of mag
nifcence in Calcutta that will proba-
bly, always have to be upheld. She
will be queen to her finger tips, a
stickler for the most rigid etiquette,
and will demand all that her position
allows her and little more Torcn
Topics.

But it is equally important that
the right remedy be given. All
local applications of sprays,

A Word of Praise.

/ have for some time been on the
lookout TO discover the secret of the
continual happiness that seems to pre-
vail among the children of one of my
neighbors. They are the merriest and
at the same time the most obedlent
children l know. Their mother has
but to express wish to have any
thing done, and they do it promptly,
even eagerly. And they do every
thing to the best OF their ability.
Nothing is shirked nothing sighted.
I discovered one day recently at
least one reason for this delightful
state of affairs in that home. 1t lies
in the fact that the mother of these
children is always praising them.
She never de,cends to hattery, but of
honest and deserved praise there is
no stint. Every little service that
they render her, everything that they
do well receives its full need of praise.
1t is so easy to say You did that
well, Johnny" or THAT was done
beautifully, Mary" l have seen the
result of this kindly and judicious
praise, and 1t recalls the words Of an
old writer who said Words of
praise, indeed, are almost as necessary
to warm a child into genial life as acts
of kindness and affection. Jndiclous
praise is to children what the sun is
to flowers.
There is nothing more pathetic
than for child to have its sincere
efforts to please pass by unnoticed.
| remember that ! was once visiting
in home in which there were two
very nice children, a girl Of nine and
a boy of II. One morning | heard
the little boy say to his sister: Now
let's 90 to work and make the sitting
room ever SO nice and tidy, to sur
prise mamma" "All right" replied
the little girl, eagerly and they set
to work and removed every trace Of
disorder. By and by their mother
came into the room and Robert and
Lucy listened eagerly for her words
of pleasure and approval because Of
tn. surprise in store for her. But
to their surprise and disappointment,
and, l confess, to my own, she said
nothing. | noted the way in which
the two little people looked at each
other. 1t was a very sober look,
hurt look. Finally, Robert said
Mamma, you can't guess who
cleaned up the sItting-roOm and made
it look so nice this morning
The mother glanced around care
lessly and said: ooh did you and
Mary do it P"
"Yes, we did, mamma we did it
all by ourselves
"Well, was the mothers indiffer-
ent reply, 9it's no more than you
ought to do every morning"
l shall never forget the pathetic
look of disappointment that came into
the faces of that little boy and girl.
A word or two of deserved praise
would have made them so happy, and
would have stimulated them to re-
newed efforts to please and to "help
mamma
1t is always wise, it is kind and
just, indeed it is duty. to recognize
and lovingly approve Of the efforts
of a child. They are wise and true
parents and teachers who recognize
this fact and praise freely that which
is deserving of praise.

Miss stubbs answered for mother.

Miss Stubbs answered for mother.
They only knew me as Miss Stubbs'
James. When my father came into
that estate which proved such disap-
pointment to him, he had to give up
the name of Lorimer and take that of
Stubs; and suppose l never men
toned that my name had once been
Lorimer. "
AS we all sat at tea together l med
itated deeply on the romantic situation
and thought how sad it must be to be
parted from fine, handsome man,
such as Miss Stubbs had described to
me, and from a golden-haired fairy
such as uncle used to talk about to
mother; and then to meet them five
and twenty years afterward, trans
formed into a fat old bachelor and a
faded old maid. But my cup of amaze
ment was full when l heard Uncle
James say:
What have you been doing to keep
yourself so young, Annie? You hard
ly look day older than when l last
saw you"
And Miss Stubs replied
"You also are scarcely altered bit,
James. should have known you any
where.
This fairly knocked me over. 1t is
absurd to say that love is blind. Love
not only sees beauties no one else
sees, but what it has once seen it sees
always. 1t is very funny and inter-
estlng.
The next day said to Miss Stubbs I:
Whatever made you say Uncle
James was tall when you described
him to me? p
Because he is tall. Don't you think
your uncle is a very fine man, my
dear p
"a don't know; he always seemed
rather short to me, somehow, ~ ! stam-
mered awkardly.
Miss Stubbs smiled.
ITO you, yes; but you are 50 eScep-
tionally tall, you know"
Whereby I learned that height is,
after all, only question of proportion.
Not long after this Uncle James
asked me, in his sharp, masterful way {:
What possessed you, Madge, when
you told me that Annie was old ?
Why, she is no more old than I am"
| felt confused.
"She seemed rather old to me, some
how" stammered.
Ny uncle smiled.
"You, yes; but you are SO ab'urdly
young, you know"
Whereby learned that age is also
a question of proportion.
On the day that Uncle James and
Aunt Annie were married mother said
to me:
al think that Providence helped my
managing little girl with her plans
this time.
mo, mother" | answered. "Provi-
dence took it out Of my hands alto
gether and finished the business alone,
and did it a million times better than
l could have imagined" "
Mother smiled.
"You see" l continued, my scheme
was to bring two rather uninteresting,
middle-aged people together and in
sure a dull and comfortable old age
for them; but Providence's plan was
to reunite two old lovers, who had
waited for each other for quarter Of
century, and make them young again
and happy with the highest sort of
happiness. The ways Of Providence
are better than our ways, after all
aren't they, mother''
"As the heavens are higher than the
earth" said mother. softly.
