Talents and Confidence.

A single-talent man, supported by
great self-confdence, will achieve
more than a te1-talent man who does
not believe in himself The mind can
not act with vigor in the presence of
doubt. A wavering mind makes
wavering execution. There must be
certainty, confidence and assurance, or
there can be no efficiency. An unedu-
Gated man who believes in himself,
and who has faith that he can do the
thing he undertakes, often puts to
shame the average college-bred man,
whose overculture and. wider outlook
have sometimes bred increased sensi-
tiveness and a lessening of self-confi-
dence whose decision has been weak
ened by constant weighing of conflict
ing theories and whose prejudices are
always open to conviction.-Success

SchilIer'S Mean Revenge.

When Schiller was a boy at school
he was tormented by a Swiss tutor
named Kuplig, who came from the
Grisons canton. Years later, when
the poet wrote THE Robbers he re-
venged himself on Kuplig and the
Grisons by introducing this little
speech: "To be scamp you must
have genius Moreover, q special eli
mate is needed for the growth Of
scamps, and to prove this I recon-
mend you to visit the Grisons canton.
It is the veritable Athens of modern
rascality.' In the later editions OF
The Robbers" this quaint pit Of spleen
does not appear. 1t is suggested that
Schiller was not moved to expunge
it by any remorseful feeling, but by a
very forcible protest from the resi-
dents of the abused canton against
this calumny.

TO PRESERVE THE EYEsIoHT.
Some Simple Rules That Are Well
Worth Remembering,


An experienced oculist recently
gave the following hints:
Those who work much with their
eyes should remember that they are
using muscles as we'll as other organs,
and these muscles should not be I'M
duly strained.
In reading, the book should be held
as far from the eyes as a clear view
of the reading matter will permit. as
long-range vision calls for the least
strain on the ciliary Tor eyelid) mus
cles. Again, the book should be held
at right angles to a line extending
from the eyes to the line of print on
the page which is being read. This
is another relief for the eye muscles,
which are only called upon to move
the eyes across the page, and not up
or down.
by this method reading in re-
cumbent posture $50 generally con-
demned) is rendered practically harm
less. But, OF course, a great deal de-
pends on the light 1t should always
fall from above or behind the student,
and never be so poor as to necessi-
tate the object being brought close
to the eyes. This is what strains the
muscles, and produces congestion and
other evils, Montreal Herald

Earliest Form of Firemakinu,

The rubbing of sticks of dry wood

all peoples has been the earliest form
of firemaking. The striking of iron

flint and steel. There is no record of

of spontaneous combustion in the pro-

in this country. 1t is singular that
this dog is rare over here, and yet it
is so.
The tiny little Chihuahua dog is a
Mexican, and we'll known here, though
very expensive. They are among the
hardest dogs to raise that are known.
The tiny creatures must be brought up
almost like babies in order to thrive.
This is one of the reasons why they
cost so much money, and 5000 for a good
dog of this breed is not an exceptional
price.
The English terrier is sturdy little
fellow, who likes fun and frolic and is
very much of a 'rowdy." They are
tickle until they have passed the puppy
age, and then no one can give them
away they are so faithful.
A Dog of Parts
The setter is one of the American
favorites, and one of the great types
of California dogs. The setter pos
sesses intelligence and gratitude, and
makes a good house dog as well as a
field dog. OF all settlers there is none
more beautiful than the Irish setter
with it's rich red coat, and it is one Of
the favorite dogs of America. 1t is
bred in many of the most noted ken
nels in the country.
The Lone American
The Boston terrier is perhaps the
only real American dog. 1t is also one
of the finest types known. 1t is only
a cross breed, of course, but it pos
sesses all of the best qualities of both
its parents. 1t is brindle and white,
and very hard to breed perfectly,
which only adds to the price paid Cor
perfect types. The Boston terrier has
become a fashionable favorite, and is
becoming we'll known across the
water.
There's a fortune in Boston ter
riers," one of the leading dog men of
England recently remarked.
Yet the breeding Of them belongs to
America.
The blood hound is one of the most
useful Of dogs, yet with all its nobility
and dignity ii Is confined in it's useful
ness to rather restricted lines. It's
ability to trace criminals is the great
basis of it's worth. Yet If the blood
hound really knew what 1t was doing
II is doubtful if it would fulfill the duty.
The blood hound is one of the most
beautiful of dog characters. 1t loves
its friends, and appreciates its enemies.
1t will not be imposed upon, neither will
it impose itself. This is a characteris-
tic found very rarely in human beings.
Yet in these points the blood hound
never varies.
The fox hounds of England and
America are perhaps among the most
picturesque in the world They are
bred for pleasure, and seem to be in-
stilled with the ideas and hopes of the
breeders. They are purely aristocrats.
Many of the best specimens are found
in this part of the country and "a
fox hound always brings a big price
when placed on the market. They are
beautiful dogs, slim, vivacious. ner-
