IS SUCCESS A MILLION.
Many Called. But Few Chosen fol
 RI1SinASS SuccasS l

Many Called. But Few Chosen for
 Business Success.
 Life is like a whist game; one should have the skill; also one must have the cards. Fate deals; the player picks up his hand.
 Or to get at it by another trail. What is t'success?' Is it million dollars !? Hardly, since in the greedy argument of folk bent on worldly victory a mill lion has grown to mean no more than pocket money. If one be bent for business triumph nowadays he will no more stop at million than one bent for New York city will stop at Rah- way.
 But suppose success were repre- sented by ga million" There be 12,O00,0OO of the male youth of this country for an audience when one breaches on success" Is there ia million" waiting for each should each observe those precious rules?
 Assume for argument, that a seat in the senate of the United States to be the standard of 'success'' There are doubtless 10000 folk in this country. each of whom would make perfect senator; there are assuredly 100000 each of whom would be an improve ment on any of full one-half of those who at present hold seats. Yet the whole number of senate seats is ninety. It is plain, then, that though 10000 may be perfect for the place, 9,01O will be denied.
 And so with money-with s'busi- ness success Let every man be per- feet in the work of wits and hand, per feet of thought and deed and habit, yet shall a majority go empty of that success Many are called but few are chosen, for there isn't enough to go around-that is, when one speaks of a business success" Now, if one were to preach peace or content, or love of family, or the joy of a good book, or the blessing of clean life as g standard of success" every one might hope. But MT Duke and his fellows -success-p preachers don't; they preach money-money and its capture as that one success" which for it's at. tainment should engage wholly and solely the body and the soul of man.

The young matron who never brought her children to the table and the old maid who always carried oranges to her room were discussing the difficulties of housekeeping The bachelor who sat at the foot of the table was making faces over the oat- meal and trying to read the paper. ;
 ''WelL you know. I'd rather keep house. said the young matron, 'but John says it is such a bother for me, and you know he is away half of the time.''

Loss Of LAf@, Near Je@nR@tt@ May
 Reach Seventy-Ave.
 PETERSBURG, July T.-It was esti- mated that the loss of life through the disastrous cioudburst and flood at Oak ford park will reach fully seventy five. Twenty bodies have been recovered so far. but most of them are unidentified.
 The disaster is, the worst in this neighborhood since the Johnstown flood The loss of life was mainly caused by the bursting of the dam at Oakford park, near Jeannette, about thirty miles from Pittsburg. Many of those killed were drowned, some were crushed by timbers and others were burned and shocked to death by cona- ing in contact with falling electric wires. ...
 The loss Of life was not confined to the neighborhood of Oanord park. West Penn station, Jeannstte, Manor and little towns by the score were swept by the water from the dam and the flood that poured out of dozens of little creeks. The bridge crossing Brush creek at Manor was carried away, 100 people on it escaping. The house of Silas Schroeder was washed away, car rying with it the body of Mrs. Schroe- der, who had died of typhoid fever.
 M. A. Coffee. the superintendent of the traction company that owns the park at Oakford park, said that he es- umated the number Of those killed at the park at forty, but he says his esti- mate is very conservative. Sidney Mo Lain was caught by the edge of the torrent pouring from the dam, grasped an electric wire and is not expected to live. Walter Hawthorne was caught in the flood after it had spread to the wider part of the valley. He caught hold of floating telegraph pole and was saved, Three members of family were rescued from the roof of their house as they foated past Manor sta ton. None of the dead at the park has been identified as yet.

Tmtelgect amd Hair.

From the color of mans hair may be learned good deal in regard to his intellectual ability, says pro- lessor of the University of Lille, who has for some months been closely studying the subject. Schoolboys with chestnut hair, he maintains, are likely to be more clever than any others, and will generally be found at the head of the class, and in like man. ner girls with fair hair are likely to be far more studious and bright than girls witheda hair. In mathemat- ics and recitations these boys and girls, he claims, specially excel On the other hand, he says that boys and girls with brown hair are most likely to attain distinction through their individuality and style, and that those with red or auburn hair do not often excel in any responsibilities tional Journal.
