To Get Your SALARY R.i.ed,

An employe has something Mt stake
besides his salary. He has character.
There are manhood and womanhood In
volved, compared with which salary is
nothing. The way one does his work
enters into the very fiber of his char
acter. 1t Is matter of conscience, and
no one can afford to sell himself be-
cause his salary is meagre.
Besides, If one puts his very best self
into every little thing he does-puts his
heart and conscience into it, and tries
to see how much and not how little he
can give his employer-he will not be
likely to be underpaid very long, for he
will be advanced.-Success.

Russln's Pionoens.

The Cossacks are the arms and legs
Of Russia, while the moujik is the
backbone. The Cossacks won Siberia
for Russia when they were the daring
fringe Of her population, grown adven-
turous and warlike by their frequent
conflicts with the Tartars who crowd
ed Russia's borders. In them concen-
trated the enterprise and aggressive
ness which the mOujik lacks. They cut
the path and the moujiks followed, and
the descendants of these hardy pio-
neers live throughout Siberia to-day,
forming hereditary military caste. So
strict are the laws of heredity among
the Cossacks that 1t is almost impos-
slble for an officer who was not born
one to obtain commission In a Cos.

Electric Crme Alarm,

When the bell OF an ordinary alarm
clock begins to ring the sleeper is apt
TO wake up sufficiently to think it will
stop soon and as he is not compelled
to arise and stop it the result is often
another nap, with its consequent de-
lays throughout the day. This objec-
ton has led to the designing OF the
continuous ringing alarm, of which
several are already in use. The cleo
trio alarm. which We show in the ac-
companying picture, has just been pat
ented in Germany, and has at least one
novelty to recommend it, 1t is directly
connected to the bed and it is impos-
sible for the sleeper to stop it until
he gets up to stay. Underneath the
bed is a series OF contact points, one
