Bows Who Have Succeeded.

Most of the great mercantile sue
cesses of the present time, says
writer in the New York Times, had
relatively recent small beginnings.
Merchant prince and captain of indus
try are not hereditary titles of bust
ness nobility. A majority of those
who bear them to-day started life
poor and unknown; a majority OF
those who will bear them ten or fif-
teen years hence are to-day working
for wages or relatively small salaries.
The successor of New Yorks greatest
and richest merchant, with whom sue
cessful competition seemed impos-
sible, was an errand boy in book
store in 1852 The most conspicuous
ly successful of American manufac-
lures and richest man in the United
States was a telegraph messenger in
1850. A majority Of the men who are
recognized as at the top to-day began
at the bottom within the memory of
the present generation. Those who
will be at the top twenty-five years
hence are to-day apprentices, clerks,
laborers, messengers or unknown
traders in a small way.

Matter Made Quite Plain.

A writer in the Lancetsays the chi
cago Record-llerald, generously sets
himself to the task of giving out Valu-
able information as to the amount OF
food one should eat He proceeds 10
make the matter plain to the masses
by saying:
eff you desire to know how much
you ought to eat per diem you must
first determine whether you are tenn
peramentally anabolic or katobollc
Then, taking into account your age,
sex, size, the amount of exercise you
get and the temperature of the atmos-
phere, you should calculate the
amount of food necessary to maintain
the minimum weight of your body
consistent with the best health OF
which you are capable"
Hereafter there should be no ex-
cuse whatever Tor overeat1ng or
undertaking. The anabolic should
be able to jump up and crack his
heels together at least four times,
and the katobolic ought to find it
easy to turn fipfaps without the use
of the hands. In view of the simple
ity of the thing it is surprising that
this whole matter was not disposed
of long, long ago to the best interests
of all concerned.

Oriental Paper-Makine.

In the matter of making and using
paper W. are not in line with the Chi
nese and other Asiatics, who not only
make. the finest paper in the world,
but apply it to all sorts of uses, max
ing window panes, fans, umbrellas,
sandals and even cloaks and other
garments of it.
The art of making paper from
mulberry bast is said to have been In
vented in China in the second century
B. C. Afterward bamboo shoots,
straw, grass and other materials were
also used. The manufacture spread
to the adjacent countries.
The Arabs learned it in Samarcand,
and their learned men carefully kept
secret the process by which they
made paper for their own use. The
crusades made Europe acquainted
with the art, and the first paper mill
in Germany dates from the twelfth
century.
To this day the process of paper
making in the east is simple and ap
parently crude, the fibres being torn
apart with the fingers and the pulp
pressed In some such primitive con
triyance as the one here illustrated

Supposed Feat of Strength.

supposed Fedt OF StTcHSth'
Procure a piece of thin board OF
soft wood, say pine; it should be
foot and a half in length and couple
of inches wide. Place it upon an or
binary kitchen table, allowing the end
to protrude half it's length almost be-
yond the edge of the table, covering
the board to the edge, and smooth it'
out carefully, being sure that the pa
per Is in perfect contact with the
board as well as with the table. Then
announce to the company assembled
that, with no other fastening upon the
board than the sheet OF paper, you
propose to strike the end of The board
hard enough to break it, or at least
to tilt the table. 1t will appear i'm
possible Every one will imagine that
the newspaper will be torn in two !;
soon as the end of the board is struck,
but this will not occur. Strike 1T a
smart, sharp blow with the hand or
an instrument, and the board will
either break off or tilt the table. and

Selma the Wind.

1t seems incredible, but it is never
the1ess a fact, that as late as the
year 1914 an old waman named Bes-
sic. Mile, of Pomona, in the Orkney
Islands, sold favorable winds to sea
men at the small price of cd. vessel.
For many years witches were suppos-
ed to sell the wind. The Finlanders
and Laplanders made quite trade
by selling winds. The old women,
after being we'll paid by the credulous
sailors, used to knit three magical
knots; the buyer was told he would
have a good gale when he united the
first knot, the second knot would
bring strong wind, and the third a
severe tempest. At one time winds
were sold at Mont ST. michael in Nor
mandy, and arrows were sold at the
same time to charm away bad storms.

The "Taxamesern Cab.

Public automobiles operated In
Berlin run at the same tariff as the
droschkies, which go by horse power
that is. about seventy-five cents an
hour.
Like most of the Berlin public We
hicles and those of other German
cities, it is equipped with taxa
meter. This device is a clock whose
speed is accelerated by an odometer
attached to the axle of the cab. Tie
revolutions of the wheels mark the
distance travelled, and according to
this distance you pay for the use of
your cab.
The clocks face is divided into
spaces, representing one hundred
pfennigs. The minimum face is fifty
pfennigs, and the clock hand starts
at the fifty pfennig mark. When you
have travelled distance which &C
cording to the legal schedule Is
chargeable at fifty pfennigs the clock
hand jumps to fifty-five. and it con-
tinues to move as the wheels revolve.
If your cab stands still the hand still
goes, but at slower rate of speed.

An Astonishing Feat.

If you possess a strong magnet you
can perform a very startling trick.
Hang up a sheet. Draw on it with
pencil a hook. Immediately behind
the sheet at the point where the hook
is drawn place your magnet. Now
ten you friends that you can hang on
1his hook a key or steel ring, or any
small iron or steel object with hole
in it. They will. of course, not be-
heve you. AL you need to do is to
nlace the steel or iron object over the
nIcture of the hook and the magnet
will hold it. The object will appear
to have been hung on tie hook. You
can have a confederate behind the
scene remove the magnet and then
ask any one to try to hang up the 0b.
ieck He will, of course, fail. TAen,
having given a signal to your confea-
crate. he will replace the magnet, and
Won will operate the trick again.

Mystery Of Lost Sounds.

An eminent scientist notlclnS Ihe
mvsterious way in which SOUNDS
sometimes are lost in space recently
undertook an Interesting experiment
in a balloon He found that wnlle
still within talking distance or earth
all sound of the human voice was
ouenched in the mere indistinguish-
able hum of the human hive. Equaiiy
lost was the striking of clocks and
ringing of bells, but a dogs bark rang
Gut clearly. So. also. the below or
cow far out in some field would pene-.
trate above the babel of busy town.
while screeching of railway whistles
pierced the sky up to three miies
and, gathered in from vast areas
often reached an intensity positively
painful.
The strangest of all acoustic pine
nomena is the unaccountable silence
which sometimes ensues when sounu
is to be expected. In many cases IL
has been proved that, speaking liter
ally. the lost sounds Issuing from a
point on a seacoast were not extln-
guished, for they were heard distinct
Nv farther out at sea. Heavy salutes,
unheard by people within twenty or
t1irty miles have been plainly aud
ible at a much greater distance, and
this apparently not in direction
favored by the wind. The scientist
who conducted the balloon expert
ment offers the theory that condi
tons of the aerial currents rather
than the direction of the wind are
responsible for these phenomena.
Through certain upper stratum
measured by many hundreds Oh Ieet
he found streamlets OF wlnd, WHO
| strong and biting, and dead opposed
| to the main broad current. Ihe
copious commingling of dry, colder
air with the warmer and moister WING
! the scientist maintains, was necessar
| lily an Opaque sound barrier, ant
when allowance lis made for casua
but powerful up-draughts there woul'
| seem no difficulty in accounting 10

Rain of Rats.

A very strange phenomenon has &C.
Cured in Algeria, in the district
round about Bougle, during the pas
sage of a cyclone, which wrought
much damage. The natives who had
come into the town relate that during
the storm there was a regular hail of
rats and mice. The stcSy, on the face
of it, appears improbable, but the
witnesses who testify to it's truth are
so numerous that some amount of
credence must be attached to it. 1t is
stated that the rodents fell in such
great quantity that during the quar-
ter of an hour that the phenomenon
lasted all the fields were infested.
Some of the rats and mice were found
impaled on the pointed stakes en-
ployed to separate one piece of land
from another. The question natur-
ally arises: Where did the animals
come from?

story of animal intelligence and de.

a Baptist minister.
For some time she has been in very
poor health. Her cat seemed to real
ize her condition and seemed also to
decide that something must be done
about it. Instinct taught the, animal
that something to tempt the appetite
was of first Importance, SO she turn
ed her attention in this direction.
Almost every day since that time
the cat has brought a partridge or
young rabbit and laid it at the feet

favor and confidence is, in many in
stances, natural gift, like most of
the goods things in life, it may be &C
auired by those who earnestly seek
it.
The first step to be taken is to cul
tivate-if you do not already possess
it-a uniformly cheerful disposition
A bright, smiling face will do more to
incline e mans heart toward you, and
gain his ear, than all the virtues of

ested in the joys and sorrows of
others as you would wish them to be
