Gems from success"

The world InstiuctlveIy hates the trim
mer, the man who fawns, the man Of "ifs"
and "buts". 1t likes straight, clean
cut article, without mixture or ANAL
gamation.
One of the greatest triumphs for an am
bilious young man Is to learn to be con-
tented. to be satisfied with doing good,
honest days work; to be contented to
live humbly, il necessary, while his
neig bors roll in wealth.
One of the greatest enemies OF content
ment and real happiness is habit OF
comparing ourselves with others
comparing financial conditions, posi-
bilities, homes, environments. 1t Is
strong man who dares to be himself, who
does not envy Others, aud who can see his
neg h bors grow prosperous while he only
makes good living. THIS constant
comparing unsettles character, and makes
one dissatisfied with his lot.
Our energies must not be allowed to
run TO waste 10 longing without sction'
Our latent strength must be developed
steadily and persistently. All our re-
serve must be utilized, all our powers
concentrated and wisely directed toward
the accomplishment of the work we nave
marked out for ourselves. with eyes
ever fixed on the ideal, we must WORK
with heart and hand and brain; with
faith that never grows dim, with reso'
lutiou that never wavers, with patience
that Is akin to genius, we must perseVere
uuto the END; for, as we advance, our

Why 1t Succeeds.


Because It's for Gre Thing Only and
Ellsworth is Learning This.
Nothing ca n be good for verything.
Doing one thing well b ings success.
Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only.
They're for sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kidney Ill.
Here is Ellsworth evidence to prove it.
Mrs. E. E. Parker (E e. Parker farmer),
Bayside road, says: 81 knew for five or six
years that my kidneys were not perform
ing their functions properly, and many a
morning during that time, when | awak-
ened, in place of being refreshed and the
pain which expected to leave still existed,
| used to wonder whether there was not
some medicine which would act directly
on my kidneys, the cause of all my trouble.
Doan's Kidney Pills were SO high iy spoken
about that went to Wiggin & Moore's
drug store in Ellsworth for a box. You
can depend upon this, If it had not
brought relief never would have bought
a second, and II the second had not still
further benefited would not have bought
a third. To say endorse the claims made
for Doan,s Kidney Pills is mild way of
expressing what think of them"

knowledge of what to wear takes on
a new importance when the lack of it
means death. Maj. Rankin, Tnen pre-
pairing to cliH1b Mount Aconcagua, one
of the Hottest mountains of South
America. found that NO small part Of
his success in reaching the summit was
due to the fact that he was suitably
dressed. He says in an article in Long
mans Magazine that he takes the
greatest possible pride in being the
first to inform the world what it must
wear in order to have the pleasure of
going harmlessly to sleep for II hours
in the snow with the temperature ten
degrees below zero"
First of all came a thin wool and
silk vest to mitigate the tickling of the
brand-new pair of thickest 'combina-
TONS the comprehensive wooden gar
ment which followed next, and envel-
oped all but head and feet. Then came
two wooden shirts, one on top of the
other, beautiful, thick, sky-blue crea-
tons; then a pair of very thick corduroy
breaches, tactfully padded, with con-
limitations down to the ankle; then a
sleeved waistcoat of pure wool; then a
thick wool coat like a blanket, yellow
and sheep-like; then the w~ind-proof
leather jerkin given me by Sir Martin
Conway, and a vicuna scarf round my
neck to top off with.
"On my feet | first of all put an or
binary pair of merino socks; above them
a pair of Shetland wool stockings; next
a pair of what are called sleeping stock
ings, lambs wool within and goats hair
without, about a quarter of an inch
thick and hugely warm; then a still big
ger pair of Shetland wool stockings;
then a pair of enormous boots; and
lastly a pair of puttees, three yards
long, wound round the elephantine bulk
of my legs.
"On my head a wolfskin cap covered
my ears and neck, and my hands were
encased, first in an ordinary pair of
gloves, and secondly in a large pair of
gloves of the kind affected by babies,
wherein the mobile thumb grips at the
incarcerated fingers.
I'm reserve | had my wolfskin coat,
reaching to my knees. yet SO light that
it in no way interfered with my walk
ing; and when all these things were
donned my form assumed a burly bulk
ishness that would have rejoiced the
heart OF a sergeant major.
For the next six days | remained day

Jersey justice is looking up, and a
corresponding encouragement of the
occupation of wife beating ought to
ensue. In Mt. Holly, yesterday, Judge
Gaskill, sentenced two Burlington
brutes, convicted of beating their
wives, to a year each in the State
Prison, announcing that no more len
lent punishment would be melted out
in his court f or that class of crime
hereafter. Newark Daily Advertiser.
Recorder Fickersglll started off in
great form to put an end to wife-bea
ing in Perth Amboy and has succeed
ed to a great extent in doing SO, but
for some unexplained reason he back
ed down yesterday when n Of the
worst cases yet reported was before
him. After fining a mar $50, he later
allowed him to 60 under suspension
of sentence after security, was given
for the payment of the fine.
1t is these Suspension of sentence
cases that has permitted the practice
to continue as long as it has. The
recorder started IN the right direction,
but he seemed to have lost heart yes
terday. A $50 fine is pretty steep and
has seldom been imposed in a local
court, but il is none too much for a
wife heater. A year in State Prison
is the way Judge Gaskill handles the
crime. This fning a man and locking
him ur for a few hours lust for a
scare" is an old game and the guilty
understand it fully, Recorder Pick
ersgill started out we'll but he yielded
to the lust one more chance, judge"
Yesterday. No clemency should be
shown a wife heater. No next

A SUCCESSFUL L o

George is so forgetful. He is al

JAPANESE
Island Advancing Rapidly
of Receptive Attitude
Toward Western Learning

In San Francisco harbor there lately
arrived the body of an American who
had died in Japan. The man himself
weighed only 14O pounds. The case
containing the body weighed 2,4OO
pounds. 1t consisted of five collins,
one inside another, the intervening
spaces packed with charcoal and cot
ton. These precautions represented
the point which Japan has reached in
sanitary science, says Youths Com
panion.
There is nothing new in saying that
the island kingdom is advancing rap
idly because of it's receptive attitude
toward western learning, but a Incl
dent like this brings the matter home
in an impressive way.
College faculties know the country
boy who enters with insufficient prep
a~ration, but has accomplished such re-
suits as he could by sheer power of will
and force of mind. The progress of
such a boy when he finally comes I'M
der competent instructors is eXhilarat-
ing. He advances by leaps, until al
most before his class realizes it he is
an acknowledged leader.
In the great college of the nations
Japan is that boy, 1t is only a short
time, in the historical sense, since the
little kingdom was opened to the
world. There were great minds there
before that, but not learned in the
western knowledge or western meth
DDS; yet it was a Japanese physician
who, in 1894, discovered the germ of
the bubonic plague, and it was an
other Japanese physician who this
year discovered the germ of dysentery.
Army and navy physicians in the east
say the japanese quarantine regula-
tons are more exacting and more rig
idly enforced than those of any other
nation.
In this rapid progress of the jap
anese some measure of credit reflects
upon the United States, for it is this
country to which, from the beginning,
Japan has gone to school.

SLEEVES AND
Problem Of what Becomes of Last Sea-
sons Gowns Suggests Question
of Feminine ~xtrnvaganc

One wonders whether or not the aver
age American woman is becoming more
extravagant. Certain it is that very few
last years frocks are being worn this
summer. The problem of what becomes
of all the discarded last seasons gar
ments is really very puzzling. They just
disappear, say the Philadelphia Ledger,
to be seen no more.
AS proving this, we may recall last
summers rage for elbow sleeves, fitting
the arm snugly and destitute of any
decoration, save, perhaps, a velvet rib
o run through a beading in the hem.
1t may nave been because the style was
really only possible to the girl with
plump, pretty arms, and because of the
painful revelation resulting from it's af-
fectation by the angular maiden; but
anyhow, who sees an elbow sleeve in the
street gown of to-day? These pretty
things, now voluminously beruffled, are
reserved for house and evening wear or
for lawn fetes.
1t is exceedingly difficult to make
over an old-style sleeve in order to Sc
cure anything approaching a good result.
The case of the tight sleeve is almost
hopeless. Those which flared at all can
be provided with a lace or null under
sleeve, over which the top can hang bell
fashion. There is no prescribed length
for such a bell; some of them terminate
at the elbow and others fall to the wrist.
In the latter event, if the bell is not
wide enough, it may be slashed here
and there to make sure hat it will pref
tily reveal the lace OF other decorative
material beneath.
We said above that the case of the
tight sleeve was almost hopeless. There
is just n way in which it can be mod
ernized, provided one has sufficient
material. Cut off the sleeve several
inches below the shoulder and make
