The Power of Resolution.

Poverty and failure are self-invited.
The disaster people dread often
comes to them. Worry and anxiety
enfeeble their force of mind and so
blunt their creative and productive
faculties that they are unable to ex-
ercise them properly. Fear of failure
or lack of faith in ones ability Is one
of the most potent LUIS of failure.
Many people of splendid powers have
attained only mediocre success and
some are total failures beyond which
they did not allow themselves to
think they could pass. They put
limitations to their ability; they cast
stumbling blocks in their way by
aiming only at mediocrity of predict
ing failure for themselves, talking
their wares down instead of up, dis
paraging their business and belitt1ing
their powers.
Thoughts are forces, and the con-
slant affirmation of ones inherent
right and power to succeed will
change inhospitable conditions and
unkind environments to favorable
ones. If you resolve upon success
with energy, you will very soon Gre
ate a success atmosphere and things
will come your way; you will make
yourself a success magnet.-Success.

Whale Flesh or Beef?

Whale meat at from three to six
cents a pound is to be the solution of
the meat trust question, according to
some Newfoundland spectators who
are seeking to make a market for
whale meat.
It is declared that the flesh is finer
favored than beef, mor nearly sug-
costing venison, and is capable of be-
ing prepared in a variety of ways.
Whales are not to be found in this
part of the globe in sufficient num-
bers to make a serious inroad into
the sale of beef, but it is declared by
the promoters that they have already
built up a successful trade in whale
meat with the West Indies, and that
they shortly intend placing it upon the
London market.
1t is to be shipped in special steam
ers, and even at a price of six cents a
pound will return a handsome profit,
while the cheaper cuts may be re-
tailed for half that sun

Strange Sport That Is Enjoyed by Ma
tives Of Siberia.

hNSo VI
A Siberian correspondent Of Lon
Ion Sphere sends some Photographic
relating to a form of fox huntins
which is probably unique. The hunt
ing of foxes with eagles takes place
among the Kirghese, In the southwest
district of Siberia, known as the gen,
eral government of the steppes. 1t Is
favorite sport with the Kirghese and
takes place In the autumn and early
winter, when the foxes coats are rud-
ly and perfect, though hunting is not
always confined to this period. The
eagles selected for the purpose are
powerful birds, Of such weight that a
small wooden support is carried by
the eagle bearer. A well grown bird
Of more than usually fierce tempera'
ment will occasionally Kill a wolf. Di-
rectly any game Is seen the birds
make their fight and swoop down
with great precision. "One Of these
birds has, to my knowledge" writes
our correspondent, killed seventeen
foxes in the last six weeks. | can
vouch for this killing Of foxes by
eagles, for l personally took all these
photographs and saw the whole sport
from beginning to end. Years ago /
wrote a letter to the Field, telling how
foxes swarm up small pine trees in
Florida when a kill appears immi-
nent. l have frequently seen them do
so, but I was politely told what an

sibly you may desire to tell me the

Eeckoned by Years,

There is a representative in Con-
gress from the West whose special
pride it is to recount the quaint OBJ
servations of his 9-year-old daughter.
Not long ago, according to the proud
father, little Ethel came to him n af-
ternoon and informed him that she
had just seen the Presidents wife
walking with one of the ladies of the
cabinet circle. "And, papa" said
Ethel, "she isn't anything like as old
rs grandma"
"Why, my dear!" exclaimed the con.
gresham, "of course she isn't! Mrs.
Roosevelt is a young woman! How In
the world did you get any other idea?"
"Well, papa replied the youngster,
you yourself once told me that she
was the first lady in the land!"-New

The Best of Life.

Not till life's heat is cooled.
The %headlong rush slowed to a quiet
pace,
And every purblind passion that has
Our noisier years, at last
Spurs us in vain, and, weary of the
race,
We care no more who loses or who wins
All, not till all the best of life seems
past
The best of life begins.
To tell for only fame,
~Handicappings, and the tickle gusts Of
praise,
For place or, power or gold to gid a
nam
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring us, were to lose our
days;
We, on whose ears youths passing bell
has tolled
In blowing bubbles, even as children do,
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hope of trivial gain that ruled US
lies
Broken among our c%hildhood's toys, for
then
We win to self-control!
And mail ourselves in manhood, and
there rise
Upon us from the vast and MINDLESS
height
Those cleaner thoughts that are unto
the soul
What stars are to the night.

Niagara Falls, August THE vol
ume of water being diverted from the
historic Niagara Falls is reaching such
proportions that the people Of the State
are trying to pass laws which will pre-
vent the possibility of a practical wip-
Ing out Of this sublime natural spec
tacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
five hundred thousand horsepower
continuously, twenty-four hours per
day, for industrial purposes, is now be-
Ing taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re-
quiring more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user Of the cleo
tricity produced by the waters Of the
mighty river is the concern which by
the five or six thousand degree heat Of
the electric furnace brings lime and
coke into unwilling union, thereby pro-
ducing what is known as Calcium Car
bide.
Dry calcium carbide is ~lifeless as so
much broken rock, but in contact with
water it springs into activity and be-
gets abundantly the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach to
sunlight known.
These facts, though of comparatively
recent discovery, were soon seized by
men with an eye to the commercial
possibilities and to-day calcium carbide
is being shipped everywhere and used
for dispelling darkness in buildings of
all descriptions, from the ordinary barn
of the farmer to the country villa of
the wealthy, as well as for lighting
the streets of a large number Of towns.
Acetylene can be easily and cheaply
installed, and the manufacture and sale
Of acetylene generators has become a
business of recognized standing, has
assumed large proportions and is stead

BABY'S INSTINCT
Shows He Knew What Food to Stick To

Forwarding a photo of a s~plendidly
handsome and healthy young boy, a
happy mother writes from an Ohio
town:
1.-The enclosed picture shows my A.
year-old Grape-Nuts boy.
"Since he was 2 years old he has eat
en- nothing but Grape-Nuts. He de-
mands and gets this food three times q
day. This may seem rather unusual,
but he does not care for anything else
after he has eaten his Grape-Nuts,
which he uses with milk or cream, and
then he is through with his meal. Even
on Thanksgiving Day he refused tur-
key and all the good things that make
up that great dinner, and ate his dish
of Grape-Nuts and cream with the best
results and none of the evils that the
other foolish members of the family
experienced.
"He is never sick, has a beautiful
complexion, and is considered a very
handsome boy. May the Postum Com
ANY prosper and long continue to fur
nish their wholesome food" Name
