PEOPLE WHO SUCCEED.

If there is that in you nature which
demands the best and will take moth
ing less and you do not demoralize
this standard by the habit of deterio-
ration in everything you do, you will
achieve distinction in some line If you
have the persistence and determine
ton to follow your ideal.
But if you are satisfied with the
cheap and shoddy, the botched and
slovenly, if you are not particular
about quality in your work or in your
personal habits, then you must ex-
pect to take second place, to fall back
in the rear of the procession.
People who have accomplished
work worth while have had a very
high sense of the way to do things.
They have not been contented with
mediocrity they have not confined
themselves to the beaten tracks /;
they have been satisfied to do things
lust as others do them, but always a
little better. They always pushed
things that came TO their hands a
little higher up, a little farther on,
that counts in the quality of life's
work. 1t is the constant effort to be
first class in everything one attempts
that conquers the heights of excel
lence. SucceSS.

ments. This recoil from essential
work for lighter, pleasanter places
but less useful and healthy ones, is
making inroads on the homes. Many
young men decline to marry because
they can not afford to support a wife
and few other women to take care
of her. They look upon the old
helpmeet idea as exploded. They
have not changed their nature; they
still require threes comfortable meals
a day and want wives to see to it
that they get them or they would
prefer single blessedness. Love and
empty stomachs are not partners, they
can not abide in the same man.
These are a few thoughts to begin
the new year with. Let us not cast
them aside, but ponder over them,
and see if there is any worthy action"
can be thought of that excels the work
of home making. All the world needs
ehcme. Nobody longsfor a boarding
house in w which to raise Il Ell r
children and train them into useful
ness. This is the highest, holiest mis-
sion of men and women, and if it is
neglected, or unworthily performed,
sorrow rather than Joy will be the
parents portion. They have lost
days that will not return and none
will rise up to call them blessed

THE BOAST OF HEALTH.

All doctors know that just before
death the patient often experiences
what is called rally" nature maxi
ing apparently her last stand against
the symptoms which we call death,
and it is quite Likely that the feeling
which induces men to boast of health
is of the same kind-an effort of ma
ture to protect us against the coming
sickness which the body has recog-
nized, though the mind has not. The
phenomenon occurs every day i'll the
cases of consumptive patients, who
brighten up and grow hopeful just
when the disease is about to strike
hardest blows, and it is quite posi-
BILE that it is more frequent than has
yet been recognized that the approach
of fever, for example, is sigDaled by
an unusual consciousness of health.
81 have never felt SO wellin my life"
says the patient, who twenty-four
hours after is lying PROSTATE and
whose friends quote his statement as
illustrating once more the ancient and
depressing belief.
The boast had nothing to do with
the illness, but it preceded it, and
men, attracted by the violent con-
tract almost instinctively link the
two together as in some way and to
some extent cause and effect. Next
time those who heard it, if they feel
that rush of health in their veins,
will avoid boasting of it, and the re-
lation ofthe two will escape attention.
Moreover, it must not be forgotten
that boasting is of itself a sign Of
weakness, either temporary or per-
manent, and that consequently fall
ure follows boasting more frequently
than it follows silence. The perfect
driver says he is perfect just when he
is most careless, and the resulting
spills remembered when the thousand
and one escapes due to the same dri-
ver's skill and hardihood are clean
forgotten. London Spectator.

Every great real estate owner in
Philadelphia has his host of retainers,
like a feudal lord of old. He does
not feed his retainersin his hall, rang
ing them in order above and below
the salt, but he does maintain them,
and unless his estate is shrewdly man
aged they may eat him out of house
and home.
The fetainers are of all ranks from
the lawyer and broker who make
their thousands out of the estate down
to the watchman who earns his $40
week for keeping his eye upon row
of vacant houses. There are also real
estate experts, collectors of various
grades, stenographers and a small
army of mechanics to make repairs.
It is the constant effort of the es-
tate's man of business to prevent this
army of retainers from increasing in
number. Men spend lifetime in the
employment of the great landlords,
and are often glad to have their sons
inherit their places. There is occa-
sional peculation, large and small,
but the great landlords manage to
keep these things quiet, and few in
stances of the kind come to the knowl-
edge of the public.
Employees of the great landlords
are met in all sorts of places. A
quiet man seen at table in a vein
stube sorting neatly folded papers as
he sips his wine and nibbles his free
lunch is whispered to be the local
collector for this or that great land
lord. Over in West Philadelphia
where are the lands of great corpora
tions, ecclesiastical and other, the
agents of the property come and go
as strangers to the greater number
of those with whom they come in
contact.
Plumbers and carpenters come into
buildings, make needed repairs and
go out again. If any curious person
is moved to make inquiry the answer
is likely to be that the mechanic is
working 'for the estate" Nobody
seems to know what estate, for the
thing has become tradition, and the
tenant may have merely sub-lease,
so that he never comes in direct con-
tact with the representatives of those
who own the property.
On the whole the great landlords
are good landlords from the tenants
point of view. Their properties are
kept in good order, unless the region
happens to be in transitory stage
and buildings are soon to be pulled
down to make room for others of
different character. Tenants are not
rack. rented, and the net rents of the
great landlords are less rather than
greater in proportion than those of
smaller real estate owners. Yet every
great landlord has the year round
enough houses vacant to ruin small
er real estate owner.
In one of the residence blocks an
Irishman with pipe in his mouth is
moving about on the sidewalk all day
long. His buiness is to keep an eye
on three or four tall brownstone resi-
dences, vacant now for months, all
the property of single landlord.
These vacant houses represent an an
nual loss of $4,000 to $40, 900, and
the same estate has others in like
condition elsewhere in town.

OLD THE FOOTBALL.

Football has never been very gen
tie game, to judge from what Master
Stubbes stays about it in his "Anat-
ornie of Abuses" published in 1883:
"For, as concerning football playing,
/ protest unto you it may rather be
called friendly kinde Of fight than a
play of recreation, a bloody and MUIR
thering practice than sport or pas
time, for dooth not every one lye in
waight for his adversarie, seeking to
overthrow him and to picke him on
his nose, though it be on hard stones
so that by this meanes sometimes
their necks are broken sometimes their
backs, sometimes their legs, some
times their armes, sometime one part
thrust out of joynt sometimes another,
sometimes the noses gush out with
blood; sometimes their eyes start
out"
