only Those Put Into Practice Amount
to Anything.
The paving of the road to very un-
comfortable place is said to be COM
posed of good intentions. Nowhere else
has this material been tried for paving,
though 1t is plentiful enough for almost
any purpose. We all know people
whose houses burn when they are
s.iust going to" insure, who lose cow
or horse when they are "just going
to" mend the fence or close the gate.
who are lust going to" buy stock
when 1t goes up like a rocket, who are
'.just going to" pay a note when 1t goes
to protest, who are lust going to" help
q neighbor when he dies, who are "just
going to- send some flowers to sick
friend when 1t proves too late. In fact,
they are lust going to-" do things all
their lives, but never get them started.
ITO be always intending to live a
new life, but never to find time to set
about it." says Tillotson, lis as If
man should put off eating and drinking
until he Is starved to DEATH"
Under every clock in factory at
Cleveland, O., is the motto, do 1t
nOw!' Such a motto, lived up to by
every one, would spare the world much
trouble. 1t would add thousands Of
good deeds to daily happenings, save
many firms from bankruptcy through
bad debts, paint hundreds Of pictures
only dreamed of, write books without
number and straighten out half the
tangles of our complicated social life.
The habit of putting off disagreeable
duties is responsible for much needless
unhappiness, for these bugbears weigh
on the mind and prevent the satisfied
content that comes from duty well per-
formed Most tasks promptly under
taken prove less difficult than we antic-
ipated, and the joy of accomplishment
often compensates for any hardship ex-
perienced.
Don't get to be known for unfulflled
good intentions. Good intentions car
ried out become the good deeds that
make men useful, loved and famous.
Doing things rather than just planning
them makes all the difference between
success and failure.-Success.

Every fiber and every cell that enters
into the formation of living body is
bathed lin moisture. by which means
alone these ultimate elements are kept
alive and are enabled to carry out their
duties. Even the bones. which appear

A NURSERY IN TIBET.
R0ck-a-by- babyism In the Forests
of This Obscure Country.


Our first meeting with the Sifans pre-
sented many ludicrous features. We
were plunging through the gloom of the
forest when our ears were assailed
With Il concourse Of yells which echoed
through the supernatural silence with
Shostly woirdneSS. In this fOrbidding
wilderness we had not looked for signs
OF human habitation. so. hastily arrang-
ing ourselves in position. we prepared
ourselves for what seemed an inevita-
BILE hostile attack. Long and anXiOusly
we awaited the onslaught of our sup
posed hidden aSsailants, when again
the peace disturbing sound echoed al
most it seemed. over our very heads.
CHANGING upward, the mystery was
soon explained. for in the lower branch
es of the tree we could descry numerous
small bundles. each too large for an
eyrie and too small for Il windfall.
Both my Kiangsi and Gharlkauese
escort. with their superstitiOus natures
reused by these ghostlike sounds. visi-
bly, paled beneath their dusky skins and
gazed furtively round in order to seek
means of escape from this enchanted
spot. Even l was not little puzzled and
awed until. peering more closely, l be-
came aware of the fact that the dis
turbing elements which had caused us
so much concern arose from the fact
that we had unwittingly stumbled upon
an aboriginal nursery and that the
weird and ghostlike sounds emanated
from several hungry and lusty lunged
infants. Then the solemn stiffness was
broken by our hearty laughter, the ST.
fans and Gharlkauese, as if to make
amends for their credulous fears, max
ing the woods ring with their forced
outlaws. The Sifan Tibetans, as we
subsequently learned. place their chill
dren in skin cradles and hang these
from the trees in the forests, the first
from belief that they will be instruct
ed by the deties, the second that their
full existence may not be endangered
by the abominable filth and squalor of
the settled regions. Several times in
the day they are visited by their moth
ers. who provide them with food and
remain with them during the night, and
in the forest home the child remains
until it is two or three years old and
has grown strong and healthy enough
to stand the rigors of hardship and dis
ease.-W. G. Jameson Reid in Golfers
Weekly.
