No succe.. wlthou. Low. of Work.

'.To win success in any vocation, the
present day. requires hard, persistent
conscientious work. the best equipment
that is possible. and the employment
OF every resource that can be COM
manded," writes Barton Cheyney, in
valuable article on 1.-The Young Man
and the Professions" In the Septem.
ber Ladies' Home Journal. Even the
young mans manner, his personality,
is factor that makes itself felt in
his work, while executive ability, and
good, hard common sense are elements
OF genius that should never be lacking
The young man should clearly under
stand in advance that IL he does not
have the capacity or love for work
there Is no profession In which he can
win success. But, having this, he will
find great opportunities to make
name for himself and earn larger pc
cuniary rewards than men have ever
before been able to coin out Of their
brains"

MANS PHYSICAL DEFECTS.

ussvsa Shesldsrs. Arms, Legs and Hlps
Are Nunero1s.
A man can be measured to the best
advantage. taflors say. away from q
glass. Standing before mirror he is
almost certain to throw out his chest,
II he does not habitually carry 1t SO.
and take an attitude that he would like
to have. rather than the one he COM
monty holds; whereas the tailor wants
him. as the portrait painter wants his
subject, in his natural pose and man
ner. With the man in that attitude.
the tailor can bring his art to bear-if
that is required-in the overcoming OF
eay physical defect. and produce
clothes that will give the best attain
able effect upon the figure, as they will
be actually worn. The physical defect
most common in man Is unevenness OF
the shoulders. One shoulder is higher
than the other. and this is defect
often encountered, though the differ
ence In the height may not be SO great
as to be noticeable, except by one ac-
customed to taking note of such things.
This Is a defect that is easily overcome
by the tailor. when 1t exists In COM
pnratively moderate degree. 1t is done
sometimes simply by cutting the coat
to At on each shoulder, the perfect 1T
ting coat carrying with it the Idea and
the appearance of symmetry. Some
times. and this is commonly done in
cases Of more pronounced difference.
symmetry is attained by the familiar
method Of building up or padding the
lower shoulder. The influence OF the
lower shoulder extends down on that
side OF the body, SO that sometimes 1t
Is necessary below the arm to cut that
side Of the coat shorter. Next to un-
evenness Of the shoulders. round shoul-
ders are perhaps the commonest defect.
A very common thing is unevenness OF
the hips. A difference Of half an inch
here would not be at all remarkable:
1t is sometimes much more. II man
finds one leg Of his trousers-the legs.
as he knows, being alike in length
touching the ground, while the other
clears it. he may reasonably consider
his legs. 1t may be that one leg Is
longer than the other. but It is more
probable that one hip is higher than
the other, or one leg fuller. SO that 1t
takes up the trousers more and thus
gradually raises the bottom more. 1t
would be common thing II men were
seen with their waistcoats OF, to find
suspenders set at uneven heights. The
variation in the suspenders might be
required. to be sure, by difference in
the shoulders. and not In the legs. 1t
Is common to find mems arms of Differ
ent lengths. The difference may be SO
slight as to require no special atten-
ton in the making OF their clothes, but
It is frequently necessary to make the
coat sleeves Of different lengths. The
fact appears to be that there are not
many perfect men. that Is. men Of per-
feet harmony Of development and per-
feet symmetry OF proportions. in which
respect man is like all things else in
nature, like horses. for instance. and
trees: but in the greater number Of
men these defects are within such lin
its that they might be described as
variations rather than as substantial
defects

Carl Louis Perrin, at the Windsor ho-
tel, were crowded all day with a throne
OF ladies and gentlemen anxious to have

Dr. Perrin says that it may seem strange

nevertheless, that in the cities of st. Paul
and Minneapolis, and in the other towns
OF Minnesota, is to be found the longest
lived race of people in the United States.
Ihe average age of the rising genera
ton of this state is over eighty years.

are found In other sections are a rar-
1ty here. While some of the people who
have visited Dr. Perrin were. not robust
looking, the lines Of their hands. all told
the same story, that Of long life and a
constitution that would bend but not
break Dr. Perrin attributes much of this
to the climate, but also says that the
race of people who have settled this
country come from a very hardy stock
DR.. Perrin will only be In st. Paul q
few days longer and those who wish to
see him would do well to come early, as
he is always rushed on the last DAYS Of
his stay in a city.

bers But whether true or not, when
the board adjourned yesterday afternoon
no organization had been perfected.
1t is believed that a condition Of dead

the suggestion Of the mayor, will try

until some special inducement Is rendered
to Mabon or Sandell their efforts will be
vain 1t will be impossible for the mayor,
