which fell were trampled to death.

WHAT MAKES SUCCESS.

It's the Man, Not the JOb-There Are
Possibilities In Everything.
1--WE are forever going to begin work
in earnest tomorrow" said Mr.. Stay
bolt, land we are never satisfied with
the job we've got, and we perform the
labor involved In it in only half heart
ed manner, but We are going to work
in dead earnest when we get a job to
suit u.s..
"The fact is that tomorrow, when we
get to it, will be to us as today is to us
now; we shan't feel any more like
work. And that other job, when we
come in actual contact with it and see
it close at hand. won't suit us any bet
ter than the one we've got now does.
'The truth is that we are dawdlers
and shy of work and trying to get
along just as easy as we can. We hate
to pitch in and go at things.
The. time for US to work is now, not
tomorrow, and the job for us to collar
is the one we've got. Round that up in
style, do the work completely and thor
oughly, and you'll be astonished to find
how you'll bring it out and what
chances there are in it. And every
body that knows about your work or
is in any way concerned or affected by
it. as it is done well or i'll, will be de-
lighted to see it well done-everybody
likes to see Il job, whatever it is, well
done-and pleased with the doer, and
there's money in it every time.

it's the man, and don't you forget it,

THE STANDARD YARDsTIcK.
Years of study and Experiments
Were Necessary to Produce 1t.

People who handle the yardstick
have but little idea of the years of
study and experiments that We're nee
essary to secure the standard yard
measure" observed an official of the
coast survey.
BIRD, famous scientist, made the
first standard yard in 176O, but the
English government did not legalize it
until 1924. Ten years afterward.
when the house of parliament in Lon
don was destroyed by fire, the stand
ard yard was lost. and England was
again without a standard yard of
length. Sheepsbanks next made a
standard measure, which the English
government adopted, and, so that it
could not be again destroyed by
fire, four authorized copies were made
of it. One of these was deposited in
society, another in the observatory at
Greenwich. and the fourth was i'm
bedded in the walls of the new house
of parliament.
"The standard yard measures which
are owned by the government are COP
les of the original. one of which is
owned by the coast survey. The Unit
ed States naval observatory has one
also. The delicaey of its construction
may be- gathered by the fact that a
change of temperature of one-hun-
dredth of a degree of Fahrenheit has
been found to produce sensible effect
on the length of the bar.
"The copies of the standard are
made of bronze, for the reason that
bronze is less affected by temperature
than any distinct or single metal.
''The cost of the construction of the
original standard yard measure in
volved the labors of Bird and his as
sistants for nearly six years. Sleeps
banks was II years in producing the
accurate copies which he made from
Birds original measurements" Wash

Unless You Love Him,

Intimate acquaintance, congeniality
Of tastes and purposes, respect, admi-
ration, material and social advance
ment-all these may appeal at time
to the young woman or the young man
as furnishing the possible material for
a prosperous venture into matrimony.
But to those of us who are on this side
of the married life, with years of ex-
perience to give us insight, there never
was a greater faliacy. Respect and ad-
miration may do for friendship; mar
riage absolutely demands love. You
remember that when the Apostle Peter
sums up the qualities that go to make
the perfect Christian character he does
not begin by urging the necessity of
faith. He assumes it's existence at the
start. He says, Add to your faith
virtue, and TO virtue knowledge" 1t is
as if he would have us know that faith
is not to be regarded simply as an
adornment to the Christian character.
1t is prerequisite. 1t is the atmos-
phere in which the Christian life has
it's breath and being. So it is with love
when the time comes to settle the
eravest question of life.-Pittsburg

Sailor Hat Must Suit Face.

In the devising of sailor styles a
great many things have to be consid-
cred There is your tall, thin woman,
who doesn't top off with the same
straw sky piece that would adorn
stout and briefer sister. The women
with the bulging brows have TO be re-
garded, too, in these days of advanced
femininity. Then there are the moon
faced girl and her hatchet faced oppo-
site, the woman with the long nose
and her friend with the square jaw.
Miss Pert with retrousse proboscis
has a style of her own The long
headed and square headed girls all
come in for their share of attention.
Add To this the consideration of sail
ors for yachting, golfing. sailing, walk
ing. and the possibilities of variety be-
come impressive. Then there is rough
and smooth colored material to work
.in. with quality regulating price to be
considered. That about exhausts the
subject from the manufacturers
standpoint. Every woman thinks she
knows just the style of sailor hat that
will suit her best. Sometimes she
tlOes-not always.

Women Smokers In France

Statistics have beenstaken in France
of the spread of the habit of smoking,
and it has been discovered that within
the last year the cigarette and even,
astonishing as it may appear, the pipe
have found an enormous increase in
their female votaries. The fashion of
smoking among women is no longer
confined to the secrecy Of a private
room. The Duchess de Uzes and the
Marchioness de la Rochefoucauld now
publicly take a cigarette after dinner,
and whatever these ladies permit
themselves may safely be taken as a
sign of the highest bonmot. The sta
tistics alluded to show that s07 100000
cigarettes are yearly consumed in
France.

Bearer of burdens

Christ revealed God as, the world 8
burden bearer. full of an exquisite kind
ness and sympathy; that what He was
through three and thirty years God was
through all the ages: that what He
was to publican and sinner in Bethle-
hem God was for all manned and
wrecked hearts in all worlds; that no
human tear falls hut God feels it that
no blow smites the suffering heart but
God shrinks and suffers; that with
wistful longing He follows the publican
and the prodigal, waiting for the hour
when He may recover the youth to his
integrity or to lead the man grown
gray in sin back to bis Fathers house.

discouraged and cast down. At present
