Talents and Conhdcuc :.

A single talent man, supported by
great self confidence, will achieve
more than a ten talent man who does
not believe in himself. The mind can
not act with vigor in the presence of
doubt. A wavering mind makes a
wavering execution. There must be
certainty, confidence and assurance, or
there can be no efficiency. An I'M
educated 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 con-
fidence, whose decision has been weak
ened by constant weighing OF conflict
ing theories and whose prejudices are
always open to conviction.-SuccesS.

and blows, and I have no doubt there
are more so-called infidels made, and
confirmed to that end, by fathers who
thought they were doing Gods service
than there are of any other type. Such
thoughts may be but theology to the
father, but they are very often grim,
hard, real biting torment to the tender
child. 1t shuts out Heaven and opens
hell to him; it is cruel as the kissing
and biting of serpents to some delicate
small souls. / suffered more agony at
one time in my childhood when a re-
vivalist got hold of me and made me
believe l might wake up in hell when
| laid my poor little head on the pillow
than from any other thing that ever
struck me. There lies the way to do a
fatal mischief, the way the seeds of in
fidelity are sOwn in many a noble ma
ture. 1t is simply the revolt at, the re-
sistance to, and the rejection of, a God
their nature is too large and sweet and
tender to tolerate. If in these early
days there is no day star of a loyelier
light, no dawning for the small, bright
soul of a better day, her there may be
no chance for that soul to pass into the
kingdom until it has passed out of the
world.
When we quote the Scripture: "Train
up a child in the way he should 60" we
must still take heed to our ways lest
we think more of the Scripture than
we think of the child-fix our mind and
purpose OF the other rather than the
hither end of the way and train him
for what he should be at forty rather
than what he must be in childhood and
youth. We must answer for what is
written in the book of the life of our
children. / must lay the patriarch's

Dangers to Traffic,

when Prince Henry made his long
journey through the country" said an
old railroad official, talking of recent
railroad accidents, the schedules were
so arranged that his train never
passed a moving train anywhere on
the road. The deadly danger from
that source is well known among rail-
road men, although they are not much
given to talking about it. Accidents
to these long merchandise trains are
constantly occurring.
mot a quarter of them get into
the papers, yet hardly a day passes
that the papers do not have an ac-
count of one-'trains late owing to a
freight wreck both tracks blocked
two hours by coal train smash, and
so on. The public gives little heed to
them, but they are the greatest dan
ger in modern railroading."

Why don't you speak out the en-

A Cure For The Enumeration Evil.

A Cure For the Immigration EVIL.
In an interesting article in Harper's
Weekly on the immigration problem,
Broughton Brandenburg considers a
number of suggestions made by vari-
GUS authorities proposing solutions of
the question. Some of these suggeS-
lions he disposes of as follows:
President Roosevelt Of correctly re-
ported: "a tax of $25 per head"
The immigrant merely will have that
much more to borrow.
Dr.. S. NJ. Gregory, Psychopath, Belle
vue Hospital:
Immigrants from more slowly-mov-
ing Europe have their minds and bod
les overtaXed by American city life.
So induce them to adopt rural life"
How?
DIR. Adolphe Danziger, late consul at
Aberdeen, Scotland, and at Madrid:
"Stop ships from landing immigrants
at any eastern ports above Charles
ton, South Carolina"
Diseased and debarred immigrants
will go to Mexico, and wade the Rio
Grande to reach Boston.
DR.. B~randenburg's own solution of
the problem provides for boards of
American inspectors, selected by civil
eign ports to examine and pass upon
the qualifications of intending immi-
grants.

why Togo Won.

Although we cannot at present draw
ciencies of gun and torpedo, or the eff
fects upon tactics of armor, speed and
other elements of warship design. there
is n lesson of this battle that stands
predominant. 1t is as old as history
itself, and has been repeated in almost
every battle that has been fought since
man began to STAY his fellow man. 1t
Is that brain, nerve and sinew decide
the fight rather than weapons. 1t is q
doctrine to which we all subscribe. but
seldom follow. Our talk is great of
ships ana guns, little of practice and
use.
Russia, under her present social con-
d~itions, can never have a navy fit to
cope with that of Japan. On one side
we hear of leaders quarreling in the
very presence of me~enemy-of mu-
TIMES, disorder and unreadiness; on the
other, a people prOvident, brave and
ever ready to sacrifice not only their
lives-that is common enough-but
their dignity, or rather vanity, for the
protection of a beloved country. The
battles that have been lost through the
jealousy of commanders is almost be
yond belief. To judge by the event
there seems to have been no lack of
bravery shown by the defeated side.
The ships that surrendered were appar.
emily in a hopeless plight. and many
seem to have fought after any expec.
tatiOn of victory was beyond hope
One cannot but sympathize with the
unfortunate Russian Admiral. He was
given a task to perform which we now
know must have been impossible; a
fact which he doubtless recognized
from the frst.-Enginering.
