Conditions of Success.

The conditions OF eminents sue
cess are inexorably hard; only a
few will make the sacrifice.
First-One must believe his
adopted vocation is for life, and he
must work like gladiator. Patti
ent, untiring industry always re-
celves its reward.
Second-To be a "soclety mann
and a lover OF pleasure is fatal 10

Third-Only such recreation as
is necessary to preserve health is
permissible.
Fourih-Intemperance and ex.
cesses OF all kinds are barred out.
Flfth--It is mandatory to rise
early, with a clear brain, refreshed
by necessary rest. Morning Is tn,
best time to work, as the proverbs
In all languages testify.
Slxth--If occasion demands II
one must face the strictest econom,
in diet, dress and all home SUI
roundlngs.
