ENERGY INTO ACHIEVEMENT.
Fearful Waste Goes on in Economies
and Life of Man.

and Life of Man.
Ninety-nine per cent of the sun pow
er or energy stored up in ton of coal
is lost on its way to the electric light
bulb. Thus we get only a hundredth
part of the possible light contained in
ton of coal. The other ninety-nine
parts are lost on the way, dissipated
in heat, and used up in friction in the
engine or the electric apparatus, and
never become light. 10 discover some
way to prevent this fearful waste of
energy is one of the great problems
confronting scientists to-day
Just as fearful waste of energy
goes on in mans use of his own
powers. Instead of 100 per cent Of
his energy appearing in results that
are worth while, often not more than
/ per cent of it gets into his real work,
the rest being thrown away, dissipat-
ed in scores of ways.
A young man starts out in life with
large amount of force and vitality
stored up in his brain, nerves AMI
muscles. He feels an almost limitless
supply Of energy yelling up within
him, a fullness and buoyancy which
knows no repression. He believes he
will do wonders with this energy, and
that he will transmute practically all
of it into ght-achievement. In the
pride Of his youth and strength, he
seems to think that there is practically
no end to his power to throw off
energy, and so he often fings it OUT
on every side with reckless prodigal-
ity. He burns it up here in a cigar
cite or a pipe, there in whisky or
wine; here he drains it off in heavy
suppers and late hours, there in vic
ious living, idleness, shift1essness and
botched work. until he finally comes
to himself with a shock and asks:
Where is the electric light l meant
to produce with all my energy? Is
this Pickering candle flame all that
can generator" He is appalled, to find
that, with all his superintendent vital
ity, he has scarcely produced light
enough to illumine his own way, ami
has nothing left for the world. He
who had boosted Of his strength and
felt confident of shedding light that
would dazzle the world stumbles along
himself in semi-darkness. The energy
which should have been transmitted
into achievement has been lost on the
way.-Success.

eAvAGEs AT FAIR AS sNoBs.
Social Distinction Among Untamed
Tribes of the Philippines.

Social Distinction Among Untame0
Tribes of the Philippines.
The Visayan children at the Worlds
Fair openly snubbed their youthful
comrades of the Philippine reserya-
ton, the Igorrotes, the Moros and the
Negritos, at the model Fairgrounds
the other afternoon. The action OF
the Fisayan Juvenile contingent was
the sensation of the Sunday outing
which Mrs. Ruth Hirschfeld, the hos
tess of the Fairgrounds, gave to the
children of all nations
The grown-up spectators watched
the little drama with great interest,
but no one offered to interfere or patch
up truce.
The Visayans came first to the
grounds. They took possession OF
row of swings and hammOckS and
were having great sport After few
minutes in trooped the half-naked
Moros and Negrito boys. Inside OF
three minutes the latter had full pos
session of the swings, as far as the
Nisayans were concerned. Not Visay-
an child could get within fifty feet Of
them. They simply turned up their
noses and walked away. Not word
was exchanged.
1t was the old caste prejudice in the
islands transplanted to America. At
home Visayan never mingles on
equal terms with an Igorrote or Moro,
much less a Negrito, who is the most
despised Of all.
Two American boys who were on
the grounds brought out the contrast
between democratic America and the
Filipino caste system. The two boys
played with the Igorrotes and the Ne
gritos alike, and had jolly time.
There were fifteen nations represent
ed, and among the others there SEEM
ed to be no drawing of the color line,
But the Visayans held aloof. Had
they done otherwise they would prob
ably had whipping in store when
they got back to their parents.-St.

joel Chandler Harris recently tod
friends of the experience of an old
southern darby who went to Philadel-
pnla, where, he thought, he might
better his fortune.
After a week Of walking up and
down the old chap found himself
FORCED to solicit charity. This he did
by going from house to house.

when his ring had been answered,

FINALLY the old man rang the bell of
prosperous-looking house, and n
man, evidently the master thereof,
came to the door.

Use starvin'; can't yo' give me some

AT this the man at the door gave
evidence of great rage. "You darn

he. "How dare you ring the bell at
my front door? Go in at the back and
the cook will give you something, you

But here the old darby interrupted
the man by falling on his knees and
exclaiming in heartfelt tones:

After They WeLe ShOrn.
When Herman Flick, a prosperous
grocer at Wilson and Payne avenues,
parted with his thirty fve-year-ol
whiskers the other evening he almost
lost his home.
Flick lives at 16S Hoadley street, and
Lis family is grown up, for he has seen
sixty years. For thirty-fve years of
his time Flick and his whiskers have
never parted. They were proud,
breezy, luxuriant whiskers, too, of the
Jerry Simpson alfalfa-not the COM
mon garden variety. For years the
customers of the big grocery knew
the proprietor by his whiskers.
A few neighbors dared Flick to
divorce those whiskers.
You wouldn't darew said one.
What do you bet 1 wont?" said
Flick.
well, So"
Where's the money!
The cash was made up and the party
went over to a barber shop. There
were few snip-snips of the shears,
the scraping Of a razor, and Fnck's
face was whiskerless
That night smooth-faced, young
looking man turned into the yard of
1913 Hoadley street and rang the bell.
The door opened cautiously and a wo-
man looked out.
What do you want?" she asked.
II want to come in"
who are you?"
II am Herman. Don't you know
me?"
Bang went the door, click went the
key in the lock.
Flick tried to argue. 1t was no use.
So he ambled back, woke the barber,
gathered up the late crop Of alfalfa,
and took it home. Passing it in at the
door, his wife was convinced and adj
mitted him.-Cleveland Dispatch to

that lrfshmen never commit suicide,

SO unstrung that he decided to show
his opponents that Irishmen do some
times commit rash act. He accord
ingly disappeared, and the man who
employed him started search. When
he got to the barn he looked up toward
the rafters and saw his man hanging
with a rope around his waist.
What are you up to, Pat!' he
asked.
"'Oi'm hanging meself, begobs, the
Irishman replied.

| Slapoffsh cover a sufficiently wide
range to give a good idea of the beau
ties of her voice and wide field of
dramatic and sympathetic expression.
The tender songs of Mattel and Tostl
will form a strong contrast to Eliza
beth's Prayer from Tannhauser and the
dainty Styrienne of Mignon. These
arias with the duo from IL Troyatore
have, it should be remembered, al. been
sung by the diva in actual operate
work and are not merely the show
pieces of a concert singer.
J The singers dramatic talent is said
to be very strongly prominent and in
consequence her numbers are rendered
with fire and appreciation of their
full meaning that only the combination
of singer and actress can fully bring
out.
Miss Flora Donaldson, Who, with the
sister artists courtesy has offered her
services, has two numbers that will be
doubtless heightened into twice that
number by an audience already appre-
ciative of her work and another local
contralto who possesses n magnificent
though seldom heard voice has cuIlE emit
ed to appear in the person OF Mrs. ]. c.
Cohen. The Hawaiian Quiltette Club
will lend local touch to a concert that
bids fair to be long remembered in Ho-
nolulu'S musical annals. Mr.. John
Ellis, who may one day make the nj
tive Hawaiians famous with his voice,
will sing the Miserere from II Trova-
tore with Nine Slapoffski
One most important factor in the sue
cess of a concert so largely built upon
classical lines will be the playing of
Mrs. Gerard Barton whose accompani-
ments mean, with her skilful technique
and sympathy, absolute perfection of
harmony to the singer. Mrs. Barton
has long and arduous task before her
during the evening and will not play
an individual solo although her identi-
ty will not be lost to the appreciative
musicians of the audience.
