There We're two young women singers
who came 10 New York not long ago to
continue their musical educations and
also to get church positions to support
themselves and pay for their lessons.
The absolute necessity of enterprise and
determination in at least making an
effort to open every posi- BILE door in
New York Is to be seen in the fortunes
Of the two Both were equally anxious
for positions and equally in need of
them They were equally attractive
girls and equally ladylike, but the one
felt that her efforts must be made only
through certain conventional channels,
and the other made an application any
where she thought there was the posi-
bility of a position, no matter how
much 1t might be above what she felt
she could do OF below what she hoped to
do Wherever there was a chance of a
singer being NEEDED she presented her
self and sang, always with increasing
confidence If she went to the organist
of church and heard through him that
a certain man in the congregation was
the one upon whose vote a singer came
or went, she Immediately presented her
self to the man who would be the one
person to help her to accomplish her
purpose She was always ladylike, but
she developed that quality called
"push. " She knew that she must have
a position to stay in New York, and she
got one Now she is connected with one
of the largest churches. while the other
girl, who has been in the city longer
time, is still waiting for an opportunity
There may be differences of character
which present obstacles. but with the
great competition in New York the girl
who makes herself heard is the one who
succeeds New York Times

The story of what marksmeE can do
in battle is written in red letters all
over the history of war, remarks the
Boston Herald The famous English
archers whose cloth yard shafts won SO
many fights at desperate odds against
the mail clad knights of France. the
embattled farmers whose deadly aim
was so fatal on the Lexington road and
the slopes of Bunker Hill the grim
slaughter which broke Pakenham +
veteran regiments at New Orleans-all
are proofs III point. Later evidence of
the value of straight shooting is afford
ed by that strange war in which the
Dutch Beers won the semi-independence
which they now enjoy.
In this contest there was on one side
a burgher force with slight pretensions
to discipline. and none at all to drill,
and on the other side British force
hardened in battle and trained to the
perfection Of soldiership. yet the Beers
were victorious in every encounter on
the field What is the explanation Z
Why, simply this The Beers were splen

Return OF the Cradle.

When physical culture came into
vogue and was applied to the upbring-
ing of babies, the first act of the re-
formers was to discard the old fashion
ed cradle Ii was said not to be healthy
for the baby to he subjected to the see
saving motion Of the cradle
NoWta Chicago woman physician has
come out with the idea that the baby
needs a e;adle TO get a little exercise
and healthy circulation Of the blood
She discarded the cradle for her own
children, but for her grandchildren she
has grown wiser She declares the cradle
is not an addler of infantile brains. but
only sends the necessary amount of
blood to all parts Of the body
Something Of this theory has made its
way into big babies hospital in TINS
city, where doctor is arranging some
thing in the way Of a baby exerciser
and we may hear before long of the
baby gymnasium, in which every day
the baby will be- properly exercised -
