ReliabtlitY ID wanted.

The great prizes of life do not fall to
the most brilliant, to the cleverest, to
the shrewdest, to the most long headed
or to the best educated, but to tie most
level headed men, to the men of sound
est judgment When a man is wanted
for a responsible position his shrewd-
ness is not considered SO important as
his sound judgment Reliability is
what is wanted. Can man stand with
out being tripped, and if he is thrown
can he land upon his feet? Can he be
depended upon, relied upon, under all
circumstances to do the right thing,
the sensible thing? Has the man
level head? Has he good horse sense?
Is he liable to fly off ON a tangent or to
'go Off half cocked?' Is he "faddy 2"
Has he wheels in his head?" Does he
lose his temper easily or can he control
himself? If he can keep a level head
under all circumstances, If he cannot
be thrown off his balance and is honest,
he is the man wanted.-O. 8. Marden

A medical man who gave evidence in
a chancery division case testified as to
the connection between brain work and
longevity in way that charmed the
lawyers and will charm other brain
workers. One-third of the laborers In
rural districts, he is reported as saying,
die of brain softening, and the average
vegetative rural laborer dies much
earlier than the hard thinking lawyer
simply because his brain rusts from
lack of exercise. 1.-The use of the brain
prolongs life' There is much In this,
no doubt, and we believe that thorough
statistics as to lunacy would astonish
those who imagine that it is the wear
and tear of high pressure thinking and
excitement that more than anything
else sends men mad But some dis
count surely must be allowed in the
case of lawyers, for instance-for the
fact that the weaklings are killed OF
frightened off early, while in the coun.
try air even a man of poor stamina
and insufficiently fed can vegetate fol
long time; also worry must be reck-
oned with. II hard brain exercise does
not kill, chronic brain worry WILL and
the two are too often associated now.

''The more dreadful poisons," said a

"Dhatoora is a poison used in India.
1t, too, produces incurable idiocy. A

The Modern Structures, Scientists

The Modern Structures, Scientists
Say, VIII Last 5000 Years.
The tall buildings, or, skyscrapers, as
they are called, to be found in such
cities as New York and Chicago al
ways interest visitors and lead to much
discussion as to their strength and
durability. Such inquiry is inevitable,
stories, shooting, as 1t were, up In the
air from a foundation small In area,
look fragile and destructible.
The Inventive genius of man, how
ever, has made these skyscrapers so
strong and durable that it is now
asserted by engineers and scientists
that the natural life of modern steel
structures is 5000 years unless they
are attacked by some unknown foe.
Modern builders are performing as
wonderful work with concrete, cement
and paint as did the ancient Romans
with their stucco, cement and mortar.
Augustus boosted that he found Rome
of brick and left it of MARBLE" and
our modern builders may boast that
they have entirely changed the build
ing outlines of many American cities
by the imposing steel structures, or
nsmented with marble and stone, they
have placed where once stood small
wooden or brick buildings of little
architectural beauty.
In the construction Of these tall build
ings it appears that there must be first
Of all foundations so formed as to pre-
vent the possibility of moisture ever
reaching the steel and iron trusses
which form the base of the metal
frame. There must be no possibility
of settlement Of the structure. The
steel is protected from corrosion by
moisture or acids by the use of con-
crete, cement and paint Care is also
taken that there shall be no leakage
from electric wires Besides this, ev-
cry piece of steel is designed to sup
placed upon it.
Can a tornado blow one of these tall
buildings DOWN. is a question that
experts generally answer in the mega
tive. The structures are so strong that
the editor of the Iron Age is quoted as
expressing the opinion that, as they are
deeply imbedded in the earth like an
OAK, If one of them tumbled it would
go down lengthwise, not breaking, but
falling as tree would if uprooted by
the wind. Engineers Go not fear that
the highest winds would affect them,
but of course they are not so sanguine
as regards the actions of mild earth
quake.-Boston Globe.

An Incident That Changed the Views
of a Skeptical Student.
The subject had turned to occultism,
when the student who had been listen
ing attentively said: Il was skeptical
for number of years in regard to the
stories l heard of occult manifesto
lions until l came face to face with
practical demonstration right here in
New Orleans which convinced me that
there are many strange laws of nature
of which we are entirely ignorant One
day l met a stranger on st. Charles
street who spoke to me as Familiarity
as If he had known me for years.

day from Europe he said, and had

meet man of your description and
that he would aid me-
Il laughed and replied that l would
be glad to do anything in my power
To make long story short, we be-
came good friends and were in the
quently He was greatly interested in
occultism, but | only laughed at his
many stories and told him l was a
poor subject for a convert to his
theories. Finally one day he induced
me to place myself under his influence
and become perfectly receptive To
humOr him l did what he suggested
He placed pencil in my hand, and
quite unconsciously l began to write
rapidly in strange hand. After COM
pleting nine pages l signed the last
page with a name / had never heard
before. What strange force compel
led me know not 1t just seemed that
l must write. All this time my friend
was scanning the pages eagerly. When
he saw the name at the end he uttered
an exclamation of surprise.
Ibid you ever know that manY he
asked eagerly.

"'Well, that man was my dearest
friend. He was drowned ten years
ago in the China scar
you can imagine my surprise. The
letter l had written was an eerie af-
fair describing life in the spirit land,
and you can imagine the interest with
which l read it. 1t took me several
days to recover from the strange shock
