TO USE ONES FRIENDS.

How to Get the Best Inspiration From
Them.
1t is told that Russell Sage said that
he never cared to know any one who
would not be of use to him. Possibly by
use he was especially thinking of pc
cuniary advantage. Like many Million
aires, his horizon is apt to be bounded
by cash.
But, believing that there are many
uses to be derived from one's acquaint-
ances besides merely pecuniary ones, it
seems strange that so few ever think of
making the best Of other people" A
distinguished playwright the other day
confessed that he owed an immense
amount of his success to the inspiration
he derived from the society Of an old
crippled lady whom he made a point Of
visiting two or three times a week.
''She never says anything particular
ly clever or witty" he remarked, "yet I
never see her without seeming to gain
ideas and inspiration. To d great ex-
tent that old lady has made me.
This goes to show that with little
care and sense everybody might select
friends and acquaintances who would
generally be of a good deal Of benefit.
Happy is the man who has dozen
friends" said Sir Edwin Arnold. He
was qnite right. They are not to be
made in crowds. Friends are things in
which quality should predominant oyer

In the North American Review for
October DR.. Allan McLane Hamilton
has this to say about the first American
president: Among some people. there
seems to be a disposition to consider
the great Lincoln as not absolutely of
sound mind. and whatever gave rise to
such a view was undoubtedly due to
his melancholy temperament and to a
certain strain Of religious feeling which
was occasionally expressed in a man
ner that was not entirely understood.
1t has even been asserted that he had
Authorizations. but that appears to be
unfounded in fact. In a personal letter
to the writer his biographer. the Hon.
John Hay, says: He was a man Of
deeply religious feeling rather than the
illogical beliefs. There was a vein of
mysticism which characterized him in
all his life, but he was not what I
would call superstitious and, so far as
know, he had no Authorizations"

SOME ASPECTS on OBESITY.

Leonard Williams declares that obe-
sfty is not only not a disease, per Sc,
but occasionally it is not even strictly
speaking pathological, inasmuch as its
presence is apparently essential to the
ordinary physiological working Of GER
tain individuals. IN the commoner
forms obesity is due to want Of ball
ance between intake and output. Too
much food is eaten or too little is OK
idized. The ingested material may be
in excessive quantity. This is frequent
In the case of those who have been
athletic in youth. That class of wo-
men patients, too, who think they need
supporting habitually take more food
than can be assimilated. The practice
of drinking fluid with meals is another
cause of the ingestion of too much
food. This fluid not only seems to in
crease the appetite, but by enabling the
food to pass more rapidly out OF the
stomach than 1t would otherwise do, it
makes 1t possible for the patient to
eat more. Insufficient mastication
leads to the ingestion Of a great deal

The wonderful Japanese are not only
wonderful in the way they prepare to
go ahead in war, but they don't mean
to be caught mapping If they have to
go back. They will shortly establish
railroad connection between Fusan, on
the southern coast OF Korea. and Lao
Yang, from which they recently dis
possessed the Russians. Lao Yang is
also connected by track with Port Ar
thur, from which Japan hopes soon to
evict an obstinate and plucky Russian
garrison. With the lines between Port
Arthur and Lilac Yang, and Lao Yang
and Fusan in her control Japan will
have two avenues of retreat open in the
event Of disaster, and in the event of
continued success two routes over which
her advancing columns can be swiftly
and effectively reinforced and proyi-
STONED. ...
OF course the Japanese don't mean to
go back, but If they have to they will
find it easier to ride than to walk or
run. And if they don't have to go back
railroads are good property. If you

SOME HoLr BoLpNEss.

While Mr.. Mcclellan was being made
mayor Of New York it was said of him
that he would do the right thing in of
flee even if he had to hit good Demo-
Gratis. Some smiled or sneered at this
assertion, not seeing how he would be
able to do right. He surprised those
people yesterday by removing the en-
tire Civil Service Commission and also
Park Commissioner William p. Schmitt
of the Bronx. The removals were made
ON charges preferred by the Civil Ser
vice Reform Association. The mayor
finds that every one of the charges was
proven. They included: Making the po-
sitions in the labor schedule "the field
of wholesale political patronage" by
Commissioner Schmitt, with the aid Of
the civil service commissioners, ap-
pointments and retentions of laborers
being dependent on the endorsement of
district leaders; ignoring the right of
men who were laid off to go on pre-
ferred lists, and appointing political
favorites in their stead; in general, of
so juggling with the labor list in the
Bronx parks as to replace the force
there on January with men favored by
schrnitt and the Tammany leaders.
Mayor Mcclellan has done well-so
well that he will be praised and re-
spected by good men throughout the
land. If he continues to act as he has
acted so far he will make a record of
being the kind of mayor the greatest
city in this country, and in many re-
spects the greatest city in the world,
ought to have. And he may yet be
President.

Good men behind the guns are not
the only good men needed on warships.
Good men below the guns, in the engine
room, are pretty necessary and useful,
though they do not often get called
heroic. It appears that Russia hasn't
all the good men she needs for the en-
CINE rooms in her navy. The Russian
correspondence of European journals
lays stress upon the great difficulty
which the Russian authorities are tx
periencing in finding capable engineers
of the higher ranks for their Baltic
feet and men-of-war approaching, COM
pletion. Their best engineers, engine
room artifcers and trained boiler-room
stats were drafted into the Pacific be-
fore the outbreak of the war, and many
more Nave been sent out since then 20
fill new vacancies. Consequently the
Russian Admiralty has been forced in
many, cases to appoint to the engine
rooms of the newer vessels compare
lively young men, with little practical
experience of the engines and boilers
of up-to-date craft. The difficulty is so
pressing, it is said, that many engineers
have been taken over by the Naval de-
partment from private steamship COM
panies. Few of these men have ever
been in charge Of marine engine
worked by steam from a Belleville boil
er. All the available engineers of the
Russian volunteer fleet We're transfer
red to warships long ago, but of these
there were not many unemployed. AS
a last resource, it is said, engineer ca
diets are being hurried through their
practical course afloat in the vicinity of
Kronstadt and elsewhere to enable them
to join the engine-room stats of the
ships now in course of construction.
Their lack Of experience is likely to
have serious consequences.

CARE OF LAMPS

The manager Of a we'll known oil
company has been pointing out how
the young wife fails to get a good light
from her lamps, Many of the things
he says will be helpful to all women
who use oil lamps in the home. Here
is what he haste say.
Many of our people are strongly Of
the opinion that an oil which falls be-
low the limits prescribed by law is
poor oil. in the sense that it will not
give a good light. This opinion is in
correct. An unsafe oil need not neees-
sarily be a poor illuminant and gem
orally is not. Many have poor lights
because Of a lack Of care and attention
to their lamps and wicks. The follow
ing points should be carefully needed by
those who would get the best results
from their lamps:
!. Use a good wick. The openwoven
wick is excellent. Do not use too long
a wick; cut it only few inches longer
than is necessary to reach the bottom
of the lamp. Do not have a great COLI
of wick in the lamp.
2. In adjusting new wick, fit it to
the burner, soak the wick in the oil,
light the wick, let the lamp burn a
few minutes; then blow it out and
trim your wick BY moving the finger
over the charred part evenly and
smoothly. in one direction only. Re-
peat until the surface feels smooth and
even. This is always the best plan to
pursue in trimming the wick. Do not
use scissors, unless perhaps to cut off
long and uneven threads at the start
Always trim the wick in this way after
each nights use.
3. Remember that dirt will get into
oil; little particles that perhaps you
cannot see, and this, floating, will
gradually accumulate in the wick,
which acts as a filter to hold back the
dirt as the oil ascends the wick. Then
the light beginsrto fail because the oil
cannot get to 1t. So don't econonize
on wicks. They are much cheaper than
eyesight. Put in a new one when
needed. Don't pin or sew red flannel on
to the end Of your wick to exc out its

existence, and at the same time expect
to get a good light.
4. Remember that occasionally, say
once in 10 days, or whenever needed,
the dirt, dreggy oil in the bottom Of
the lamp should be thrown out. 1t may
be saved, If desired. by filtering it
through a piece of fine cotton cloth.
Then rinse out the lamp with some
clear, bright oil. Don't clean the in
side of your lamp with water; if you
do, the light will probably be bad
when you next use it, splutter and give
you trouble.
5. Occasionally, say once in 10 days,
or when you see it is needed. give the
burner a thorough cleansing. Boil it
all greasy dirt out and open up the air
passages. Then dry it thoroughly in
the sun or over the stove before using.
6. Don't buy red oil; it never gives
as good a light as the same quality of
oil without the red eoloring matter. If
you attend carefully to all the rules
and still get poor light, then you may
abuse the oil companies, but not before.
In all the cases of poor light and
bad OIL / have SO far investigated,
the trouble must be due to neglect
of some Of the above simple precau-
tions, which ought to be adopted in
every well-regulated household Re-
member that the law win see to it that
no unsafe oil is furnished you, and that
because a lamp gives a poor light is
no evidence that the oil is unsafe. In
the recent oil examination I examined
some oils which were undoubtedly I'M
safe and below the standard quality,
but yet when / burned them day after
day in a properly-cared-f lamp no
fault could be found with the light
they gave.

There has been some big talk about
the bigness Of the vote which Parker is
going to get in the city of New York.
The Republican managers have been
looking into the matter little, and if
the figures furnished turn out to be cor
rect, the Parker vote in Manhattan will
fall many thousands below that cast
for Coler when he ran for governor.
Among the Jewish population in New
York it was found that President
Roosevelt is very strong, and in the
opinion of the editors of certain Yiddish
papers the President will receive an
amazingly big vote in the sections of
Greater New York where the Jews
form a large part Of the population. The
agents. who went among the italian
settlements claim also to have found
very lukewarm feeling toward Par
ker. The reports Of the canvassers
among the foreign voters, taken as a
whole, indicate that unless some re-
markably effective missionary work is
done by the Parker managers between
now and election day, the Democratic
candidate for President will not go up
to the Harlem River with anything like
Coler's majority Of two years ago.
So fades another fond hope. It is a
sad thing to be Democrat nowadays.
There was a man once who smote his
breast and called for Gods mercy. Only
that can make the Democrats lot en-
durable.

of unnecessary food. Excess may be
a matter Of quality. The quantity itself
may be moderate enough. but the ex-
cess may reveal itself in the relative
quantities OF fat-forming or fat-saying
principles. The starches, sugars, fats
and alcohol are most rapidly converted
into adipose tissue. AS to the oxida-
ton Of food, the chief agent in effect
ing this is muscular exercise. Ordinary
Obesity probably never occurs where
circumstances allow this agent full
play. When obesity is already estab-
lished, there are substitutes for ordi-
nary exercises which may be used,
such as massage, electricity, Swedish
movements and lander exercises. The
nervous system plays part in the oxi-
dation OF food. Mental anxiety may
give rise to an extreme degree Of eman-
cipation. The obese patient must have
mental and physical energy forced up
on him. The writer believes that hot
baths for ablutionary purposes by the
young and healthy are most undesir-
able, except when they are vigorous
toweling. The prevalent vice of over
clothing is still more important. The
wearer of flannel under garments, as
far as his skin is concerned. lives in a
moist climate relaxing in its effects.
The activities Of the skin and lungs.
bowels and kidneys are very important.
Mineral waters. in so far as they are
helpful, are so in virtue of their effects
on the bowels and kidneys when taken
internally. and upon the skin when
administered in baths. The writer con-
cludes by speaking Of the use Of thy

no means unattended by danger.-The

The worlds record for boat unloading
has just been broken at Conneaut, on
Lake Erie. The Wolvin, the largest
freigfter on fresh water, was emptied
of a cargo Of 9945 tons of iron ore in
four and one-half hours, reducing by
six hours the best record heretofore
made. The total delay from the Begin
ming to the end Of the unloading did
not exceed five minutes. One by one
eight monstrous hosting machines
were transferred in turn to the thirty
three cargo matches of the Wolvin,
while vast audience watched the pro-
ceedings from the adjacent docks.
There are small and mean rascals as
well as big and generous ones. In New
York city sneak thieves are stripping
from all the monuments and entabla-
lures in the city the bronze and copper
inscriptions and adornments, and they
do not hesitate to destroy hundreds of
dollars worth Of marble in order to get
hold of few cents, worth of metal.
The Prospect Park monument, COM
memorating the Revolutionary battle
Of Long Island, was stripped of it's
bronze lettering. Not long ago two
thieves were discovered with hammer
and chisel removing the bronze orna-
ments from the Fort Washington mon
ulnent at One Hundred and Eighty
third street.
