A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE.

The remark recently made by
Thomas c. Platt concerning his own
life was a lifting of the curtain. for
an instant. to show the real feelings
OF a man who has succeeded-and fail
ed.
Platt said. you will remember: "My
life could have been made so much
better, or at least different from what
it has been"
$50 much better-or different"
The phrasing is characteristic-a
confession and then an adroit hedg.
Ing of his words. lest he might have
said too much.
But the real feeling of the man
is plain. He knows his life has not
been what it ought to have been.
1t might have been better-or much
better. Seventy-two years old and
sorry for his life!
Why, the man has gotten about

THE "coMING NATION"

Now the American immigrat ton
question in Canada has reache., a eli
max. 1t takes only three years for an
Immigrant to earn a vote in Canada
and $4,000 former American voters
will soon come into their Canadian
suffrage There are in round num-
bers 100000 males more than 1S years
of age in western Canada who former
ly lived in the United States, 10000
of whom are old enough to vote. There
are now between 100000 and 100000
settlers, with possible voting pop
ulation of 100000, high per centage
because many cattlemen without fam
lilies are emigrating from Montana
and Wyoming. By the end of 1905
the American vote in the Canadian
West will be overwhelming.
In eastern Canada thousands of peo-
pie believe that this invasion means
the ultimate annexation of Western
Canada by the United tates. It is
called "the coming nation

EESTMENTS WORN BY
THE PRIEST.

The vestments worn by the priest
celebrating Mass are: The amice is
a white linen veil which tho priest
puts en- over his head and shoulders. It
represents the veil with Which the
Jews covered the face of Jesus when
they struck him. The alb is long
white linen garment which reaches
to the feet of the priest 1t represents
the white robe that Herod in monkery
put upon the Lord The cinctllre or
grdle, is the cord tied about the waist
to hold up the alb. 1t represents the
cords with which Christ was bound.
The maniple, worn on the LETT srm.
represents the chains put upon our
Lord and also the handkerchief with
which Veronica wiped His facA. The
stole is narrow band which hangs
down from the neck aud is crossed on
the priests breast. 1t represents the
cords with which our Lords neck
was bound after His condemnation. 1t
is also the distinct sign of the ;,rlest-
ly Office and is used in many other
ceremonies and blessings. The cha
suble. or outer vestment, covers the
lsdy of the celebrant and represents
the garment with which Christ was
clothed in Pilates court The large
cross upon the chasuble reminds us
of the cross placed upon Christ's 5
shoulders. At solemn mass the dea-
con and subdeacon wear yestments

it with linseed oil. On this he mark
ed the freezing point as zero by put
ting the tube in ice, and in the same
way he marked the point when placed
in boiling water. The very awkward
scale which we now use is evidently
that of Newton; for, the decimal sys-
tenn not being then in use, he took
the number of twelve to denote the
heat of the body. This he found, and
made it the starting point OF his
scale both upward and downward. 1t
was some time after this that, fer
convenience's sake. the degrees were
divided in two, and thus the body
heat was twenty-four above zero and
the boiling point fifty-three. When,
many years afterwards, Fahrenheit
made his instrument and used mer-
curry instead of linseed Gil, which was
far more convenient: he again divid-
ed these degrees into fonr: so if the
number be multiplied accordingly, we
have PIP for the boiling point and
ninety-six fer the body heat. Fab
renheit. finding that he could get
lower temperature than freezing,
made this point zero, which brought
the numer eight of Newton's s to thirty
two of Fahrenheit. In this way the
Thermometer was constructed. Awk-
ward as the scale is, yet it is histori-
cally interesting as having been made
by our own great philosopher and
formed on the basis of the heat of
the human body. Exchange.

\ VACATION THAT
PAID THIS BOY.

The boy was 12 years old.
All that he knew of life was that
there were nine months of school with
lot of play and no school.
This vacation was to be little diff
ferent, but the boy didn't know it..
"Come on, son, need your help
said father one evening after his own
days work was done. 81 want this
dirt carried up to our fiat
The boy opened his mouth wide.
His father wanted him to carry bas-
kets of earth up three flights of steps.
There was queer feeling of resent
ment all about inside of him.
Il can't carry dirt" he said.
"Never too late to learn said
father good naturedly. "Here, you
take the lighter basket
Up the stairs went the boy. The
air was close and he got hot and
breathless.
Down he came again. The dirt had
to be dug up and shoveled into the
baskets. He grew hotter and the
sweat began to trickle down his back.
'The boys are playing ball. I'm
going over" he said at last with i'm
patience. 81 can't shovel dirt
"All right, old boy" said father,
"but I'm disappointed in you 1 had
expected to find you able to stick to
a thing. Id counted on your help,
too. But It's all right. Go ahead and
play ball.
The boy washed his hands and went
over into the next yard. It was the
first time he ever remembered of feel
ng uncomfortable when playing ball.
Tonight it wasn't much much fun.
Pretty soon he left the boys and
went up stairs to his mother. BY and
by he came down, rolled up his
sleeves and went at the shoveling.
His father had planned a little gard
en- for the fire escape corner. It took
a lot of dirt.
The boy sweat and puffed. He
blistered his hands. But he stuck.
At last the work was done. Father
and son washed themselves and got
ready for supper.
After supper when the father had
stretched himself out for a pleasant
hour with his newspaper the boy
came to him.
Il guess, father he said with an
air half ashamed and yet of new man.
illness, Il guess it was a good thing
Tor me to do something that didn't
want to do"
Father held out his hand. The how
srasped it in strong grip.
I'm mighty glad I stuck. father ,,
said the boy.
Good for you, old chap" said the
father.

everything man wants to get in this
life.
Health? He Is seventy-two and
still able to successfully head a great
corporation.
Fame? He is senator of the Unit
ed States and a maker of presidents.
Power? For years he has been the
supreme boss of the Republican poll.
tics of New York state.
Are not these the things men strive
for in order to succeed?
But has it been worth while?-
worth while to himself and to the
world? With the clear after vision
Of old age Platt can see that his life
has simply been a successful failure
Because.
"a mans life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things that he
hath" Successful living. in the true
sense, is not in having, but in being;
not in getting, but in giving. 1t lies
not in what man has. but In what
he is and what he does.
Platt sees what might have been.
He might have had, instead of mil
lions of dollars, wealth of mind
and soul; instead of fame as a boss.
that of benefactor; instead of power
in nOliticS the mower to do good to
his fellows; instead of the fawning
of lieutenants, the esteem of friends;
instead of hollow service, love.
Yes, his life "could have been made
so much better"-if he had cared
for the real things instead of the i'm
itations
And for the sake of the young men
of this country it is well that this
cid man, successful after his kind
should virtually confess his failure.
