VALUE OF ODDS AND ENDS

w yE have in recent publications
Wv interesting letters-hundred
OF them-in which the writers give
accounts Of how they have done the
things that are really worth while in
substantial results, rays the Post.
There is wide diversity, but most
Of them illustrate the value OF odds
and ends. This enc began by saving
the odd pennies, that one by turning
to practical use the iag ends OF the
days work. The little extras started
the big purposes ard by and by the
hundred dollars was in bank or the
hons was built, or the aspiration was
accomplished. Odds and ends OF luxu-
ries gave way to economies. 1t is
astonishing how many different ways
they made the odds and ends yield.
There are odds and ends in educa-
ton as we'll as in finance. A railroad
president whose influence controls the
destinies of score of great corpora
tions is often described as one who
does the work Of dozen men. And
yet he seems never to work. There is
about him cheerful buoyancy which
makes him almost boyish. When
very young he was in army. He used
the odds and ends OF camp life in
reading. After the war he was ready
for admission to the bar. He lost no
time even when the cases were few.
He kept on reading. He laid in a
store OF valuable knowledge, and more
than that, he drilled himself to utilize
his minutes as we'll rs his hours. After
he rose to financial prominence he
astonished his friends by familiarity
with French. They wondered when
he had studied it, and they found that
while he dressed in the morning he
glanced at the open page OF French
lesson book and thus learned. He
does not tire, because he has a con-
slant change OF thought and interest
The idle MON ents do not bother him,
because he has none-not even any
for worry.
Don't thou love life,' asked BENZ.
amin Franklin. "Then do not squan-
der time, for that is the stuff life is
made Of"
Odds and ends are the small change
OF time. Save the pennies and there
will be no trouble about the dollars.

sensational experiment to be tried in
the French navy. Off Tongue Island
at BPest the batt1eship Massena will
discharge thirteen-inch projectile
filled with sand instead of explosives,
but sent by full war charge Of pow
der, at the first-class battleship Suf-
fr0n.
The Suffren's full crew Of 73O men
will be on board. but below out of
harms reach. The projectile will be
aimed at one of the two principal tur-
rets, to see what will be the effect of
the shock on the interior installations
of the turret. and to find out if the
blow will cause other parts of the ves-
sci to buckle. To localize the blow,
a steel envelope has been placed on the
turret opposite the side which the pro-
jectile will strike.
The naval attaches of foreign lega-
tions will be invited to see the expert
ment.
