Self Confidence.

As young men in the spring of life's
great enterprise, we need a relying
and undaunted confidence in our
selves. We are the architects of our
own fortunes and must not be pup
pets, Our Judgment will not be
strong and reliable unless we rely
upon it. Being mistrusted may
cause us to verge into a criminal;
being treated with contempt may
cause MS to have a contempt for our
selves; being repeatedly and severe
ly reminded of our weakness may
cause us to doubt whether we have
any strength. But can we afford to
let these or any other imaginary OBJ
stacles come between us and success?
Can we afford to be undone by
the jeers of Others, or exalted by
their hattery, when we should and
do know our motives better than
others can possibly know them. Be-
sides, our own minds must pilot us
through life. One ship cannot be
steered by the rudder of another.
Neither should the course of one
mans life be directed by the brain of
another. There is but one person
age who has reached perfection, and
that is Christ. He alone is a perfect
example.
IT'S well to pattern after upright
purity and nobleness wherever you
find it; yet not all of any man is a
peril ct example for us. If we have
nothing peculiar to ourselves, moth
ing original, we may well be likened
to towboat. Humanity will not
respect a man who does not respect
himself.
Study to know your strong points
as well as your weak points. Then
strive to strengthen the weak ones
and be bold to trust the strong ones.
Whose mind but yours must pilot
you through life? Whose thoughts
but yours must make you happy or
miserable? What have men done
that you cannot do, with as full a
confidence. and determination?
There are other lives to live, other
races to run, but you must run your
own. There are ordeals in life,
through which, so far as visible com
nq-iors are cornnr9ad we must 90
alone. Yet, even then, with Christ
as the strength of all our efforts for
good, we shall by faith prevail. 1t
seems to me there is great and I'M
dying principle which says that,
physically, mentally, morally and
spiritually, we must do or die.

" or even often, but she will come
as near them, in the way of making
herself clean, as she can possibly
manage.
Not every woman can stand the
regulation Turkish or Russian baths,
with their hot air, their steam
rooms, their hard massage and cold
spray or plunge afterwards. The
home made imitation of such baths
even is sometimes too much for
thsm unss Ss thy @3r ere s Es Of Il bf pa
good money into a Turkish bath
cabinet or even to compass home
made version with a packing box
and little ingenuity. Instead, they
may seek substitutes in a simple
fashion.
The most elementary Turkish bath
is made by wrapping the bather in a
sheet and seating her on cane bot
tom chair under which is shallow
tin of hot water set over an alcohol
lamp. This lamp should be of the
sort that has an asbestos burner
protected by a wire netting. After
the bather is seated, a heavy blanket
should be wrapped around her and
the chair, and she should sit thus
until she is in a drenching perspira-
ton. When this point is reached
she should get at once into tub of
warm water, scour herself well with
a flesh brush, so as to remove the
matter that the perspiration has
washed out on the skin, and after
this she should try the tonic effect
of cold spray, unless she prefers
the cold plunge. If she does not
possess spray she should dash cold
water her body from a pitcher. Then
comes a good rub down with a
rough towel and a half hours rest.
Such bath is advantageous to
nearly every one and especially to
the woman who has a poor COM
plexion which is the result of imper-
feet circulation. The chief objection
to this bath in the minds of busy
women will be the length of time it
demands. When a woman has stim-
ulated her skin to action by vigor-
GUS and healthful exercise and has
provoked a flow of perspiration she
does not need the preliminary SEES
sion over hot water. The bath in
the tub, however, with cold spray
to follow is an essential after violent
exercise.
Let it be supposed, for instance,
that woman has been out on her
wheel If she is an active rider
she has undoubtedly achieved the
perspiration and with it a degree Of
exhileration that the period Of re-
tirement in the company Of a blank
ct and an alcohol lamp would never
bring about. Someone has called an
up to date chainless bicycle a zeal in
spring wheel for women. The girl
or woman who has been out for a
spin on a machine that is made in
such a fashion that she can come
home with her skirt in as good
a condition as when she started, las
can be done with the right sort of a
bicycle, docs not shrink from the
amount Of time she will have to de.
vote to her bath as she would il she
knew dirty and stained frock was
awaiting her attention.
