CHARACTER.

It's only indestructible material
in destiny's fierce crucible. Char
acter itself is q rank and estate.
Character stands in majesty I'M
awed and unmoved before men and
devils. Character stands conf
dept and trustful in the presence
of God Himself. Genius, SO often
landed, fails frequently of it's aim
for want of character to support
it. The men upon whom society
leans are the men of proved honor,
recitude and consistency, whose
sterling character gives pledge of
falthfulness to every trust COM
mitted to them. Thackery says !:
Nature has written letter of
credit upon some mems faces
which is honored wherever pre-
sented. I" There is promise to
pay in their faces that inspires
confidence, and you prefer it to
another mans endorsement. As
the rivules scoops out the valley,
moulds the hillside and carves the
mountains face, SO the stream of
thought sculptures the soul into
grace, mellows the heart to tender
ness and love, and these are mir
rored in the countenance. If
you would, therefore, be noble and
wear the vlsage of the great, you
must lead pure lives, and think
the thoughts of greatness. "As a
man thinketh in his heart, so is
he"

The coming century will offer an
abundance of work in engineering
fields. Sir Douglas Fox points
out to British engineers the fol-
lowing specimens of the problems
of surprising importance that are
now opening up. Trunk railways
through Russia, China, Persia,
Africa; irrigation works to supply
the wants of growing populations;
harbors large enough for the yes
sells of the future; central installa-
tions to furnish lighting, power,
traction aid heating to whole
counties; the extension of tele-
phonic commandments and

smoke and smell'of cities; the re-
placement of horses by mechanical
power in the streets the increase
of the speed of trains to 100 miles

pecially the refuse of cities; the
Improvement of the water-supply !;
the reclamation of land; the

AS suggestion to advertisers,
the following from the Philadel-
phia Record is to the point, and
true: Anything worth selling
should also be worth telling about.
There is no better way to do the
telling than through the medium
of all advertisement. A we'll placed
and graphically worded advertise
ment reaches hundreds of readers,
to whom the merchant is thus en-
abled to speak directly and with
profit to himself, without leaving
his place of business. In no other
way can he so cheaply and so eff
fectively address so many people
within the same period of time. :"
