In my opinion the secret of money
making depends chiefly upon five
things: Push 'squareness.' clear
headedness. economy, and rigid ad-
herence to the rule or not overworking
Too much work is worse than no work
at all. 1t undermines the constitution
and units a man mentally and phys
ically for the battle of life. Ten hours
a day of steady work is as much as any
man-now matter how robust-ought
to attempt. In addition to these things
avoid being too grasping: better make
a small profit by sure means than at
tempt to make a larger one by uncer-
tain and risky means.

l am often asked the question by
young men who write to me for that
purpose: What advice would you
give me, Mr.. Wanamaker in order that
may succeed in life?" My answer in
variably is: You don't need to learn
any one way to success. You should
learn to do some one thing well, throw
ing all your energies into it. Through
ambition and sound common sense will
work success for anybody at anything
that is legitimate
Achieving success is really nothing
more than 4 matter of determination.

cess are so simple that anyone with
common sense can see along them to
their examinations.
II is for these reasons that / say any
young man can achieve success of he
has sound common sense and thorough
ambition The former will enable him
10 see his particular path to success:
the latter will enable him to pursue it
to the end.
The chief reason that everybody is
not successful is the fact that they
have not enough persistency. Let the
unsuccessful man cultivate the ambi-
ton that will drive him to hard. hon
est work. and he will come out on top

The surest plan to pursue in order
to build up a fortune is to have con-
slant care for your good health, your
good manners, and your good morals.
Shun all wild speculations, and never
invest all OF your money in any new
enterprise, no matter how certain you
are it will succeed. If, after looking
the ground over thoroughly, when you
are asked to go into an undertaking OF
this kind, you then feel sure it is go
ing to- pay, put some of your money
into it, but not more that a third of all
you have to invest. Investments OF
this kind are, indeed, liable to pay 100
per cent. better than investing in stock

to be sure than to be sorry.

Support for the Mirror.

1t is not always an easy task to sus-
pend a mirror in just the right light to
facilitate the act Of shaving, ard per
haps the device which we present in the
accompanying cut Will recommend itself
for this purpose. 1t is the invention of
John E. Williamson. OF Louisville, KY,
and is so made that it can be secured 10
the body and adjusted at just the re-
quired angle to show a good view OF the
face Wien it is once in place the wear
er can stand either in front of window
or facing an artificial light. In either
case the reflected image will be perfectly
plain. This support is preferably of wood
and is provided with straps, by which 1t
is attached to the body. When the straps
are once properly adjusted it requires but
a second of time to slip them around the
body and the tloider is then in position
for use 1t is not even necessary to stand
when Shaving. or to accommodate ones
self to anything more uncomfortable than
an ordinary chair. In whatever position
the wearer places himself the glass will
present the reflection Of the face Tie
horizontal portion of the holder may be
used as a support for the lather brush
and cup, and 4 clamp is also provided to
grip the sheet of paper with which the
razor is wiped

Georgia Woman's Invention.

Corinne Dufour, Of Savannah. Ga. has
obtained Il patent on an electric carpet
sweeper and duSt-gatherer, a view OF
which we present in the accompanying
Illustration. The machine comprises a
pair of brush cylinders, rotated by con-
nection with Il fiuted rubber roller in fric-
tional contact with the floor, and there
is aslo electric motor inside the cas-
ing. which is utilized to run rapidly
revolving fam which takes UP the dust
and drives it against a sponge. The lat
ter, being saturated with water, read
lily retains the dust and aids greatly in
cleaning the room. The current for tie
motor in the case of the hand-operated
sweeper is supplied by small generator
connected with the fluted roller but III
case of a. large sweeper for use in halls
and churches it is intended to attach the
sweeper directly to an electric light cir
cult by means OF wires. In this case the
current is also made to rcvolve the brush
es. and4it is then only necessary for the
operator to draw the mactline along The
floors, the speed OF the brushes being so
high that a rapid gait can be main
tanned without sighting the work. When
tie sponge has become coated VITA the
dust the cover of the sweeper is lifted and
the sponge taken out for cleansing.

An Automatic I;aZor.

AS an entirely new departure in the line
of shaving apparatus the invention OF
Herman Drosse. of Charlottenburg, car
many easily wins first honors, but wheth-
er the device is practical or not is anoth-
er question. The idea of the inventor
is to replace the fiat blade with 4 series
of spiral cutters, which are rotated IN
connection with a fixed guard, looping
off the bristles practically in the same
manner that a pair of scissors would DO
The spiral blades are mounted on a re-
volving cylinder, which is operated by
COMPRISING tue grips in the hands. To
use the implement tie grips are sTasped
in one hand and the other hand is used
to steady the cutters as the machine IS
drawn over the face The inventor claims
four principal advantages for this appara-
tus-namely: It is not necessary to sharp
en- the blades except at long Intervals,
lathering the face before shaving Is I'M
necessary, skin wounds are avoided ana
the instrument can be used in bad light
and by an unsteady hand, and even in L
rocking position. Another form shows u
power machine for use in barber shops.
and perhaps in the bands of skilled
operator it might prove a practical de-
vice for its purpose.

\ large and appreciative audience wit
messed the splendid production of Shake
spearcs King John at the Academy last
night. For more than twenty-five years
this tragedy-or history, as the immortal
bard classed it--has been unknown to the
theatrc-goers of this country. There is
nothing in the entire career of Modjeska
that speaks more eloquently of her devo-
ton to art than this revival at time
when so many actors would felSn rest on
laurels already won. Not only that, but
the costumes, scenery and incidental mus
ic We're in fit accord with the artistic en-
deavor exhibited by all the players.
OF Modjeslla herself what need of praise
can do justice 10 her magnificent creation
of the Srief-stricken mother, Lady Con-
stance! Although she appears in but two
of the earlier scenes, the poignant utter
ance of sorrow. the great maternal love,
the frcnZed outpourinE of helpless grief,
live through the memory of the auditors
and dominate the gloomy tragedy to the
end.

The witness mentioned two cadet haZ-

agony in certain forms of hazing, which
