LIFE PROLONGED BY SUCCESS.
Victory Over World Means New Vital.
ity and New Powers.

1t is new we'll known that increased
complexity of life with increased ex-
penditure distinctly adds longevity.
Luxury, "the fertile parent of whole
family of diseases" modifies it greatly,
of course, but this is a manageable
factor.
We have only to recall personal ex-
perience to realize the force of intel
lectual stimulation. The interest Of
sport will sustain men without fatigue
for distances they otherwise could not
traverse. The excitement of strife
will often mask the presence Of
wounds. Self-forgetfulness in all the
walks Of life, under the stress of love,
chivalry or accepted duty, doubles hui
man endurance. Success gives new vi
tally, new powers, and this is another
name for new life.

ONE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
The Faculty of Keeping Friends an Inn
mense Factor.

The faculty of keeping friends is
the secret of success of many men,
says Madame. It's not enough to be
able to make them. 1t is a compare
lively easy matter to win regard and
favor with a pleasing exterior and
even the framework of a well-stored
mind. Yes, it is easy to win friends,
but to hold there's the rub"
A real friendship and the only kind
worthy of struggle and sacrifice is a
priceless possession, and he is rich
indeed who can count his friends on
the fingers of one hand. 1t is custom
airy, however, to speak lightly OF
friendship and to refer to another as
friend when an acquaintance is meant.
People who rise to power and influ
ence are usually those who have re-
tanned their friends. They are "the
same yesterday, to-day and to-mor
row." and prosperity does not change
them. The friends of long ago are
theirs for aye.

Regained Appetite by Reading.

There was once man who had lost
his appetite. He regained it by the
simple method of reading chapter
of Dickens before dinner every day.
Sometimes he would read about. the
Christmas dinner Of the Crummels,
and again he would read about an
other characters enjoyment of butter.
ed toast; but always the chapter
would be upon something good to eat.
The very thought of how others enjoy
I'd their food would awake in this
hypochondriac a hunger that made
his dinner a pleasure instead Of a tor
ture.

HYENA KNEW ITS FRIEND.
Apparently Vicious Creature Had
Memory for Kindness.


A few years ago in one of the men.
aeeries exhibited during the races at
Brighton, England, was striped
hyena, which, to the keeper and all
around him, displayed the usual fero-
cious habits inherent in animals of his
kind. Among the spectators was a
young man who fearlessly approached
the den where it was snarling and
swapping furiously, and, putting his
hand through the wires, patted the
animal on it's head.
In an instant the hyena gave symp.
toms OF the greatest delight bounded
about in an ecstacy of JOY and rubbed
himsel tagainst the young mans hand,
seeming to be overjoyed at his ca.
resses. 1t appeared that this animal
had been taken when cub by this
young man and brought by MIN to
England and sold to the keeper of a
menagerie, and although seven years
had elapsed since then the recollec.
ton of the gentle treatment he had
received had been gratefully remem.
bered by this apparently untamable
creature.

QUEER LITTLE SEA MOUSE.
Remarkable In the Lower Branches Of
Organic Life.

neHaTkaple IN the Lower Branches OF
Organic Life.
A few days ago, when they brought
me fine specimen, about four inches
long, OF that strange creature the sea
mouse, dredged from the sandy bot
tom of Loeb Ryan, began to specu-
late darkly upon the significance of
the generic name Aphrodita, bestowed
upon this lowly invertebrate by Lam.
arack. For it is no mouse, but
worm, belonging TO the class Anne
Ida, animals which, being still in
primitive stage of development, enjoy
the enviable privilege of being able to
replace any organ, even head, of
which they may be bereft by accident
or assault.
At first sight no living creature is
less suggestive of the goddess of love,
its general outline being that of a gil
gantic wood louise and its structure
but an oblong mass of integument and
viscere. Yet on second thought. it
appears not inappropriateiy termed
Ahprodita, born of the sea foam-am-
phros-and, If beauty of form be de-
MED to 1t, compensation is made by
an extraordinary loneliness of color.
The breathing apparatus, consisting
of external branchiae like silky bris-
ties arranged all along the sides OF
the animal, shine with luster as deli
cate as and more brilliant than
pigeons neck.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Sensations of Members Well Described
by Senator Foster.
Postmaster General Wynne, who
used to be newspaper man in Wash
ington, bears his honors with becom-

feel uppish over his advancement.
The president one day asked him:
How does it feel to attend cabinet
meeting after having spent so much
time on the outside trying to find out
what occurred at similar satherings?"
ooh, it is not so much how he feels"
said Secretary Wilson, "as how the
rest of us feel" Wynne has Irish
blood in his veins and ready wit at
the tip OF his tongue. He came back
in this fashion: "That reminds me
of what Secretary Foster said when
he took charge of the treasury de-
partment. was his private secre-
tary. One day he remarked to me:
'Wynne, when I first came to Wash
ington as q member OF the cabinet

been in the cabinet three months

"Oh, Beautiful, my country"
Be thine a nobler care
Than all thy wealth of commerce.,
Thy harvests waving fair;
Be ii the pride to lift up
The manhood of the poor;
Be then to the oppressed
Fair freedoms open door!
+ or thee our fathers suffered;
For thee they toiled and prayed:
Upon thy holy altar
Their willing lives they laid.
Thou hast no common birthright:
Grand memories on thee shine:
The blood of pilgrim nations
Commingled flows in thine.
"Oh, Beautiful, our country!
Round thee in love we draw:
Thine Is the grace of freedom,
The majesty of law.
Be Righteousness thy scepteI
Justice thy diadem;
And in thy shining forehead
Be peace the browning gem.
