A point was well made by Edward
Howard Grlggs, at the conclusion OF
lecture on How to Attain Our
Ideals" He had paused for questions
from the audience, and one man said
something TO this effect "Yes. these
are very fine things you have been
saying to us-those OF us who can see
at all what you mean are eager to
bring it into realization But we are
often terribly hampered What can
you say-what hope have You TO offer
to a woman who. herself capable Of
holding these ideals, is tied to man
who is utterly incapable Of any higher
conception than that Of bodily com
fort?"
you have touched" said Mr. Griggs,
upon a tragedy so profound that
have no words in which to answer
you" A silence fell upon the great
assembly. Presently he broke 1T. but
this can suggest. That very often
those who most quickly and intensely
grasp ideals are unwilling to tAke the
necessary steps to realize them. There
are orderly means to the attainment Of
every ideal. 1t Is never reached ut
bound. Only by patiently establishing
each step before it goes on to the next
can the hnman spirit reach it's goal."-
Marion Foster Washburne, in Harpers
Bazar.

CHARACTER BUILDING.
Make Life Glorious Thing In
stead OF a Drudgery.


What is it we all have in common, no
| matter what our environments? Life,
that glorious opportunity TO be. to do,
and to grow, is ours. Life, with all
its possibilities the greatness Of which
we have not dreamed, is actually slip
ping by without our cognlzance, be-
cause we are so occupied with the
things which we think make us nm
happy, and which have grown to ire
mendous proportions, magnitied by our
vision.
What matter 1t II others are rich or
famous. so long as we have the one
great chance in life which overshadows
all these things, and is the only thing
which will stand the test of time?
In few years death will claim the
rich and they must depart, leaving that
for which they have labored all be-
hind. Rut The character goes on for
ever.
Happiness being a condition Of ,he
mind, yours is the power 10 place hap
piness there by creating this condition,
which you can do solely by your
thoughts.
Thoughts which cause unrest or
worry, you must cast out. This is not
easy for those who have been accus-
toned to allow themselves to be con
stantly annoyed by these things.
Remember, first. to place character
above all else. for there is nothing to
be compared with it, And determine
that, no matter what else you have in
life, this you will acquire. This deter
mination will alter your frame of mind
and, when firmly fixed, will change the
appearance Of conditions and surround
ings.
All thoughts which are not character
builders you must Danish. and you
must view everything in this light
This cannot be done at once, and is
only achieved after many trials
Always see what you have to be
thankful for when depressed or un-
happy. This mental inventory will
make lighter any load. Don't worry
about anything, for it does no good,
and only lessons your opportunity for
helping yourself
If you are character building there
is nothing that can come 10 you which
cannot be used as step onward, If
looked at in the right light, and any
thing which will place you a step for
ward cannot bring harm.
Always look on the bright side Of
everything, for there is always a bright
side to everything If we will but see 1t.
Cast out all thoughts Of anger or
rage, and never allow yourself to lose
your temper.
School yourself in conquering fear Of |
all descriptions. TO him who builds |
character there is nothing to fear.
And just in proportion as you obtain
this mental balance you will find hap
piness everywhere, and life will be-
come a glorious thing, instead oe a

The athletic woman has come to stay.
She has created a new standard OF
physical perfection. and has shown
how all who wish may attain to it. No
longer can woman say that she can't

chest and weak, flabby muscles She
can remedy such defects she can send
the rosy blood to her saIlow cheeks and
make It stay there; she can fill up the
hollows in her neck and develop her
bust by simply learning appropriate
exercises and practicing them for at
least twenty minutes every day. The
results are so well worth this small
amount Of exertion that it Is surprising
how few women avail themselves OF so
inexpensive method OF securing
health and well-being for themselves

The number Of telephones in use in
1902 was 2,3l5,297, or about one to
thirty-four Of the total population,
states the New York Tribune From
that average, however, there were
some wide departures. California, for
instance, reported one for every four
teen, and Alabama one fo- every 1874.
The average number Of messages per
telephone for the year was 2190 In
States that were well supplied with in
struments the number of messages
was smaller than this. New York re-
ported 1464 and New Jersey 114T, while
in Alabama the average number Of
messages per telephone was 3279 and
in Tennessee 1857. In other words,
the number Of telephones gave direct
indication Of the progressive spirit Of
a locality, whereas the amount Of busi-
ness which one instrument was re-
quired to do seems to have been in
inverse ratio thereto.

Part of the terror inspired by gramo-
phones-not by all gramophones what
soever, of course-is probably due TO
the distress of the vocalists who sing
for them. Few people have any idea
Of this. Mr.. J. B. Oswald, who yester-
day recovered fees from a manufac-
turing company in Glasgow, said that
he sang to the accompaniment Of bells
on either side of him, and piano rat
Ting away for all the pianist was
worth, He sang each song seven or
eight times 10 produce 'master rec
ord" AS the voice varied in pitch and
intensity, he had to bend nearer or
draw back; and he sGag until the per-
sDiration dropped from his forehead
First the diaphragm gave way-the one
in the instrument-and then wax
cylinder much too hard was used. Mr..
Oswald had bound himself. however,
to produce twelve master records. He
would seem to have done it, in the
Glasgow sheriff's opinion, or at all
events TO have done enough. and lie
states that the task was quite the heav-
lest that he has undertaken One can
well believe it. Some Of the very mys-
terious sounds which emerge from
gramophones may now be sympathet-

The total amount of American cars
for 1908 was very close to 14,OO0 val
ued at $15,00O,000 For 1904, the total
production was about 1880 cars, val
ued at $22,O00.0O0 Thus it will be
seen that while the increase in stocks
has been about thirty per cent, the in
crease in value was nearly fifty per
cent, indicating that more of the larger
and higher priced cars were turned
out in 1904, concludes Lesiie's Monthly.

Some interesting experiments have
been made to ascertain which wood
lasts the longest It was found, ac-
cording TO the indianapolis News, that
birch and aspen decayed in three ~ears,
willow ans chestnut in four years,
maple and red beech in five years and
elm and ash in seven years. Oak
Scottish fir and Weymouth pine de-
eayed to the depth of half an inch in
seven years; larch and juniper were un-
injured at the end of the seven years
In situations so free from moisture
that they may be practically called
dry, the durability Of timber is unlim-
tied. The roof of Westminster Hall,
London, is more than 450 years old.

For the climate Of the Everglades is
almost faultless. 1t is singularly equa-
Bile, showing no extremes of heat and
cold, and not subject to sudden change.
Even a ''norther," coming out of the
region of ice and snow, is soon softened
to milder temperatures and the heat of
summer is made genial though the
mercury may be well up in the eigh-
ties, by the ozonized air which is every
where in the Clades. The year is di-
vlded into the dry and rainy seasons.
The latter may be roughly spoken of
as including June and September, al
though, well in the Glades, sudden
light showers in limited areas are likely
at any season, and in the autumn a
high degree Of humidity is constant.
A lifetime might be spent in the re-
gion and no sign Of malaria ever be
discovered. Pure air, that moves in
gentle breezes over a vast expanse Of
pure water, is the perfect assurance of
health, as eyjilced in the fire physique,
