CHEEK, PUSH AND CASH.
Three Essentials, Says . Cynfc, TO
Success In Life.


Success I'm Life.
Fighting for cards to entertainments,
pushing up by hook and by crook, CIV
ing dinners and dances (typewrltten
descriptions of which are given to any
Journalists who wish for them)-these
things are essentially opposed to that
repose which stamps the caste OF We're
de We're"
These influences are very wide
spread. To "get on is the great OBJ
ject Of every one, and to get on one
must drop as many reflnements as pos
sible. They do not pay" This may
seem cynical, but 1t Is unfortunately
true. Cheek, push and cash are the
three essentials TO success, and II the
last be lacking the two former are nee
essary for its getting.
This is all false, unworthy. 1t is
only the veneer Of butterfly class.
The arlstocracy Is one with the upper
middle classes In Its rejection OF these
influences. Refinement IL not dead
among us, but IL is overshadowed.
Sane and serious people are sickened
by the frothy life that goes on about
them. II 1t really brought enjoyment
to It's devotee 1t would be justified, but
that It does not IL amply evidenced by
the discontinued, artificial faces un-
der the horribly pretty hats above the
vulgarly elaborate dresses. Better
things will come. better things exist
now beneath this false surface, but

drown the strains Of the violin. Just
now the drum IL very loud. Let us
lower our voices and wait-London

The Homeless. or London.

From an investigation made by the
medical officer of the London county
council it is estimated that one In every
2,000 Of the population Of the city of
London is homeless.
A census Of the persons who could
not pay for nights lodging in the
cheapest Of lodging houses and passed
the night out of doors in the streets or
under arches or in the recesses of front
doors or on landings and staircases of
tenements where the doors had been
left open revealed such a number in a
certain district that the officer felt
Justified In making the -astimstA nrsA-
sented to the council. On the night
this investigation was undertaken
there were 5000 vacant beds in the
lodging houses. - New York Medical

RISKS OF FEATHERED TRIBE
.kirds Liable TO ms Many Accident
as Other Creatures.

~
Other Creatures.
or all creatures birds are most ex-
empt from liability TO accident, yet
they not infrequently lose their lives
In most unexpected ways. Once above
trees and buildings they have the whole
upper air free of every obstacle and
though their flight sometimes equals
the speed Of a railroad train they have
little to fear when well above ground.
Collision with other birds seems scarce
ly possible, but 1t sometimes occurs.
When a covey of quail are flushed oc-
casionally two birds will collide, at
times meeting with such force that
both are stunned. Flycatchers dart
ing ut the same insect will now and
then come together but not hard
enough to injure either bird. In the
English papers few years ago n rare
accident was recorded-a heron had
spiked itself on one OF the pointed iron
arms of a cross surmounting church
steeple. Even the smallest and most
wonderful of all fiers, the humming
bird, may come to grief in accidental
ways, as was recently shown by the
case of a tiny bird Of the ruby throated
variety which became entangled In the
hooks of burdock bur and died pris-
oner before help could free II.
Young phrbes sometimes become en-
tangled In the horsehairs which are
used In the lining of the nest. When
they are old enough to fly and attempt
to leave they are held prisoners or left
dangling from the nest. When mink
traps are set In the snow In winter
owls frequently fall victims, mice be-
ing scarce and the bait tempting.
Lighthouses are perhaps the cause of
more accidents TO birds than any other
obstacle they encounter on their noe
turnal migrations north and south.
Many hundreds are found dead at the
base OF such structures. The sudden
glare is so confusing and binding as
they shoot from intense darkness into
its circle OF radiance that they are
completely bewlldered and dash head
long against the thick panes OF glass.
Telegraph wires are another menace
to low flying birds. especially those
which, like quail and woodcock, enjoy
whirlwind and attain great speed
within few yards. Such birds have
been found cut almost In two by the
force with which they struck the wire.
The elements frequently catch birds
unawares and overpower them. A
sudden wind or storm will drive coast
flying birds hundreds OF miles out 10
sea, and oceanic birds may be blown as
Tar inland. Hurricanes In the 'Wegt

Tho Harm Noise Does

Noise is an undoubted factor in i'm

Whether we are conscious Of 1t or not.
1t hurts the brain and has deafening,
dazing, bewildering effect on the men

tends to produce cerebral hyperemias

Indies are said to cause the deaths Of
innumerable birds, as well as other
creatures. Small islands are known to
have become completely depopulated
of their feathered inhabitants from
such cause. Violent hailstorms, COM
ing without warning in warm weather,
are quite common agents in the de-
struction Of birds, and thousands OF
English sparrows have been stricken
In city during such a storm.
Ruffed grouse have q habit OF bur

That was why the mob that had
started out to hang Ben Heth as sort
of climax for the annual roundup came
upon the Comet, its owner, his valet
and his chauffeur two miles beyond
Heth's ranch They were still hunting
for Heth, after having raZed his ranch
cabin. The Comet was piled high with
luggage, a couple of dress suit cases
showing above the boxes, and rubber
blankets, which filed in the body of
the machine. Thatcher explained in
casual way that he was trying some
new roads and might be gone week
or more. The cowboys sent him on
his way with yolley of shots. They
were bent on more serious work.

road, through the soft twilight and the

after the ceremony. He said it was

the Comet had ever made. Then the
great red machine. its owner, his
chauffeur and his valet rolled back to
Fort Norton without the impressive ar
ray of luggage, and Harvey Thatcher,
tenderfoot, from New York, announced
that when certain bunch of unmiti
gated fools had finished their annual
spree and had recounted their blank

would come back to Fort Norton, at
which time the damages claimed by
said groom for injury done his proper

know the reason why, whereupon said
Harvey Thatcher promptly rose in the
estimation of the cowboy element, and
his horseless vehicle was forgiven him.

LIGHT THAT KILLS PAIN.
The Effect of Intense Blue Rays In
Dental Operatfons

The Effect of Intense Blue Rays In
Dental Operations.
In order to test personally the new
anaesthetic known as the blue light
system, by which tooth extraction is
rendered painless, the Geneva CORE
spondent of the London Daily Mail has
just undergone an operation for the
removal of troublesome molar at the
hands of DIR. Camille Redard, the Swiss
discoverer of the method.
Having placed his patient in re-
cumbent position, the doctor impressed
upon him the great Importance of faith
in the new process and then command
ed him to gaze steadily at an ordinary
sixteen candle power electric light with
n blue glass bulb fixed within eighteen
inches of his eyes.
Behind the lamp was reflector.
After covering up his patient with O
large blue cloth the doctor left the
room.
Il found myself gazing at the daz-
zling blue light, which gradually
seemed to penetrate my eyes and pass
out of the back of my head" writes
the correspondent
"At first l felt slight burning SEN
sation, which in turn gave way to one
of GOODNESS around the eyeballs.
This feeling passed, and felt moth
ing more out of the ordinary except
that sensation of rest came over me,
and my hands, which were trembling
slightly before. were perfectly still
now. My senses never left me, and
plainly heard the doctor entering the
room.
"He took away the cloth rapidly,
placed the blue electric light farther
away, tilted the chair up slightly and
signed to me with the instrument to
open my mouth.
Il felt the instrument grasp the tooth
and watched the doctor pull. The next
instant | saw the molar before me, not
having felt the slightest pain"

Too Many Doctors.

Women who are desirous Of entering
the medical profession encounter a dis
couraging situation In Germany. An
association Of physicians has sent to
the directors Of 613 high schools cir
cular for distribution among the stu
dents, In which these are warned
against entering the medical profess
sion, which is described as being disas-
trously overcrowded, the number Of
physicians being nearly 10000, or more
than double what 1t was In 1870. The
situation is aggravated by tho abolition
OF the law against quacks and by the
Insurance clubs, which hire doctors at

Twenty Additional Norge Pas

LONDON, July 9.-The latest informa-
ton points to the conclusion that only
one boat load of survivors of the wrecked
Danish steamer Norge was picked up

land saying that ninteen survivors mad
been landed at Thorshayn, Farce lslandS
and a dispatch from Glasgow saying that
a boat containing eleven passengers, eight
sailors and one child had reached the
Shetland islands probably referred to the
same boat. The facts have OF yet been
definitely established, but it would appear
that only twenty can be wiped off the
list of missing.
The second officer of the Norge, who
landed at Thorshavn says that on the
night of June 80 his boat sighted a large
steamer and that he made all the signals
in his power but the boat was not OBJ
served All hands then lost hope. For
five DAYS thereafter storms, fog, sun
shine and Gains were the only changes
in their menotonous waiting death. Both
bread and water ran out On the morning
of July land was sighted, but the Ell

taken on board and they were landed at

VICE PRESIDENCY
REMAINS [ IN DOUBT
No One Man Is YETI Singled Out
by the Leaders for the
Nomination

ST. LOUIS, 4fo.,bJuly S-Great I'M
certainty stilltexists concerning the
vice presidential nomination. The
same candidates which have heretofore
been mentioned are still mentioned and
some are being pushed with a great
deal of earnestness. No one man has
yet been singled out by the leaders
and large delegations to be supported
for the second place. There seems to
be desire to select a man from Illi-
neis, Indiana or Ohio if possible.
Continued efforts havesBeen made to
secure the consent of Marshall Field,
of Chicago, to allow the use of his
name, but SO far without result In
Indiana there are two men mentioned
John W. Kern and Benjamin F.
Shively. The delegation was called to
meet after gthel iad journment of the
convention tonight to. decide whether
or not the state shall present a candi-
date, and if so,s sNhichs Of the two men
will receive the support of the delega-
ton. -. s.ssSJf a3 as.aJ
Ohio men are also in doubt whether a
candidate shall be presented from that
state. Judson Harmon, formerly at

cabinet, and John R. Mclean. -propri-
etOr OF the CINCINNATI Enquirer, nave
both been discussed in connection with
the second place-,o on the ticket, but no
determination has been reached to pre-
sent either of them.
Various states intend to present fla
vorite sons'.efor the nomination, but
whether they will be able to gather any
strength. from other sections of the
country appears problematicaL The
leaders may be able to agree upon a
candidate before the convention con-
venes tomorrow, but it now looks as if
the ballots must decide who will fill
the second place on the national ticket.
The Western men have secured a
large number of delegates to. support
former Senator George Turner, of
Washington. During the day Senator
Charles S. Culberson, of Texas, was
mentioned, but he quickly stated that
his name could not be used in connec-
ton with the place.
