SUCCEEDED IN BUSINESS.
But Failed as Man Because of the
Various Shortcomings Here
Recorded.

He stopped growing.
He was not greater than his occu.
patton.
He never learned to look on the
sunny side.
He stuffed his pocketbook, but
starved his brain.
He had no use for sentiment, which
could not be cashed
He never learned to take the drudg.
cry out of his work.
He did not live in his upper stories,
but in the basement of his being.
He regarded his business as a means
of making a living, instead of a life.
He lost his early friends by neglect,
and had no time to cultivate new ones.
He never learned to enjoy little
things, to see the uncommon in the
common.
He never learned TO Intricate his
life's machinery with laughter and
good cheer
He made life a grind, out of which
he got neither pleasure, profit nor in
struction.
There was only one side of his ma.
ture developed, and that was the mon.
ey-making side.
No face ever frightened at his APP
proach, no heart thrilled at the sound
of his voice.
Society bored him, children bored
him, music and the drama were un-
known languages TO him.
He never learned to enjoy himself
as he went along, but was always post.
poning his happiness.
He could not rise TO his feet to
speak at a public meeting, or to put a
motion, if his life depended on it.
He used every means to develop his
business, but none to develop his mind
or to make himself a larger man.
When he retired from business, he
found that in his struggle to get the
means for enjoyment, he had muir
dered his capacity to enjoy.
lie knew nothing of what was going
on in the world outside of his own
narrow circle; another state was like
a foreign country to him.
He read only market reports in the
newspapers. He never read articles
in magazines, and books were an I'm.
known quantity to him.
The idea of helping others, or of ow-
ing society, his city, or his nation, any
duty, outside of caring for his own in.
terests, never occurred to him.
Recreation, relaxation, or amuse-
ment of any kind was condemned by
him as a wicked waste of valuable
time which might be coined into dol

Dopfish for the Table.

A Cornish gourmet, following the ad-
vice of Horace about combining pleas
ure with utility, suggests that the de-
structive dogfish, which are running the
local fishermen, would prove a val
liable addition to our cuisine. When
skinned and carefully cooked the dog
fish is more delicate than hake,"
while a peculiar sweetness" of flavor
can be remedied by lemon or vinegar.

to urge people at this season of the year
to lay in a supply of Chamberlain cough
remedy. 1t is almost sure to be needed
before winter is over, and much more
prompt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as cold is
contracted and before it has become
settled in the system, which can only be
dore by keeping the remedy at hand.

A Judicious Inquiry.

the drug trade says he has often heard
druggists inquire of customers who asked
for a cough medicine, whether it was
wanted for child or for an adult, and il
for NJ child they almost invariably re.
commend Chamberlain's cough remedy
The reason for this is that they know
there is no danger from it and that it
always cures. There is not the least

Brave Woman Pilots.

Woman pilots are employed by the
Danish and Scandinavian govern
ments. Many scandinavian captains
say they prefer them TO men, because
they have more patience. Norway
and Sweden also employ women in
the mercantile marine; they do the
same work as the men before the
lookout duty.

How Long Whales Live.

CAS- to the age to which whales live"
says DR.. True, curator of biology of the
National museum, there is no accurate
data, but | am inclined to the opinion
that some of them live % an age in ex-
cess Of 40 years. This theory is
borne out by the finding in a whale in
1890 of harpoon which had belonged
to ship that was sunk during the civil
war. Ten years before the war the
ship had cruised as whaler. The es-
Inmates that whales live to be 1000
years old are fanciful, and not based
on authoritative Information. Wash

HOW THE TEACHER TAUGHT
An Example of the Original View Of
Things Child May
Take.

In their efforts to teach children, pa
rents are often surprised by the original
views which the youngsters take, and by
their presentation of views which, while
they may be but partial, are at least cor
rect and discriminating SO far as they go,
says Edwin J. Prindle, in st. Nicholas.
It occurred to a father, who noticed q
carpenter hammering upon the roof OF
a distant house. that he would give his
little son (eight years old lesson in
nhysics. by calling attention to the fact
that the blows of the hammer could be
seen before the sound made by them
could be heard, and explaining that the
difference in time between the seeing Of
the blows and the hearing OF the noise
was due to the fact that light travels
much faster than sound. He sought to
introduce the subject by asking the boy
II he understood why it was that he
could see the hammer fall before he could
hear the noise of the stroke He was as
tonished to receive the renly: Yes; it's
