Few Find Their Work"

The writer for the Worlds Work
who inquired of twenty clergymen if
they would choose the same occupa-
ton il they had their lives to live over,
need not have been surprised to find
nine who replied that they would not;
nor the investigator for Lesiie's
Monthly who asked eleven teachers a
similar question to find only one who
was willing to say yes. Such express
slons OF disappointment can be got out
OF men and women of any and every
vocation, says the New Bedford STAN
dard. The person who wishes he were
something else than what he actually
is can be found at almost any minute
OF the day by any one who takes the
pains to inquire. Not much is proved
by it, except that, in the first place,
there are too many square pegs in
round holes, and that, in the second
place, there are more pegs for which
there are no appropriate holes than is
good for the community. We have no
question that the nine clergymen and
the ten teachers who wish they had
chosen some other manner of life were
not conspicuous successes in the occu-
pations they had selected, and it is
rather TO be doubted if all of them
would have been successes in any of
the occupations which they wish they
had selected
1t is not difficult for a clergyman to
dream that he would have made q
great lawyer or for a school teacher

peace Trust" a Possibility

An English writer has turned his
eyes toward group of the enormously
rich men of this country and asks if
it would be possible for the wealth
and power they and others represent
to be welded together in the cause of
a world peace. He says Would a
peace trust be possible under the ex-
listing conditions of social and polti-
cal life? A war trust is not an un.
known thing, since every great loan
promoted for the benefit of fighting
nation is a proof of capitalistic orgapi-
cation. The Rockefellers, Morgans
Vanderbilts and Carnegies of Ameri-
ca, together with countless men
whose absurd riches have been made
less ostentatiously, have not inherited
the tradition of making money for
the mere pleasure of the making; they
are likely to establish a tradition for
themselves. They have ideas, and
would like to be numbered among the
immortals. The opportunity presents
itself; they could combine their influ-
ence upon the worlds stock markets,
declare themselves the opponents of
any financial group that sought to
make war possible and in the moment
when the strength of their attitude
was recognized they would be hailed
as saviors of mankind.

gold watch. When on the poop he
stopped his head under a rolled avn

passed through the awnings folds. At
another time he had just turned from
a spot on the poop when the place
where he had been standing was COW
cred with wreckage from aloft, which
would have crushed and buried him.
And yet throughout the battle, when
men were being slain and wounded
everywhere around him, CodriEgton
escaped uninjured."

swept a road through the Turks by
swinging his weapon from side to

fellow midshipmen, named Hicks, was
among the boarders, many of whom
had forgotten to take their pistols.
Hicks shouted to the first lieutenant,
Give them cold shot, sir!' and the
boarders did, for they picked up the
cold shot which was lying about ready
for the guns and hurled it down upon
the Turks"

Cremation of Hindu Dead

remove the shroud from the face,
splashing water five times upon the
mouth. Others, in the meantime, are
building a wooden ogre, made of fag-
OTIS sold near by, and when finished
standing three feet or more above
ground. The corpse, its dark color
showing through the dripping shroud,
is then placed on the wooden altar
and covered with fagots. This done,
all but two mount the ramparts and
watch the final ceremony. OF the
two remaining, one pours oil upon the
wood from a small clay dish, while
the other goes to the firehouse above.
He soon returns with a long straw
wisp, blazing at one end. He advances
to the corpse's head, touches it with
the wisp, and then circles the pyre
five times, touching the head each
time until the fifth, when he places
the blazing wisp beneath the feet and
the whole pile bursts into fame. When
all is consumed the ashes are raked
into the river and float away to bliss
eternal.-F. j. o. Alsop in Outing.

The Fighting at Navarino

In the year 1927 the late British ad-
miral, Omanney, who died last year,
took part in the battle of Navarino,
in which the English, French and Rus
sian ships entered the harbor of Ma
varinO in Greece and annihilated the
Turkish and Egyptian vessels, which
were unable to leave their moorings.
The battle lasted four hours. Admiral
Omanney tells this of Sir Edward
Codrington, the admiral in command:
His escapes from death were mar
velous. So that he might command
a good view of the battle he stood on
the poop Of the Asia, the most ex-
posed part of the ship. He was talk
ing with the master when a shot came
and killed the latter at his side. A
shot killed an officer of marines who
was on the quarterback just below the
poop. The admiral left the poop only
once to go forward to talk to the
boatswain, and while talking to him
the boatswain also was killed at his
side.

which it made two holes, and another

Gears, kaisers, sultans and all of
their kind" he continues, would take
their place in the tail of the new
comet; the men who raised the pres
ervation of peace to the level of the
selling of low-hash oil, the collection
of works of fine art valued chiefly for
their price, and the packing of pork
would send the echoes of their name
and fame reverberating down the
ages. Incidentally there would be
money in the business. The greater
demand for steel and corn and oil
would add to the existing wealth; the
general sense of security would en-
courage new industries-perhaps lead
through the gateway of the trusts to
the millennium of which Edward Bel
lamy dreamed.

He Meant All Riuht.

In connection with the annual
spring exposition of the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts, which drew
only the other day to SO successful n
close, Philadelphians are hearing a
story which is almost too good to be
true--though it arrives well youched
for.
According to this the young and de-
cidedly pretty wife of one Of the UNI
successful applicants for admission to
the gallery's walls called upon GER
tain highly talented and well known
member of the jury to plead, her hus-
bands cause. She was sincere; she
was eloquent; the great mans heart
was touched--but what could he do,
for he remembered only too well the
huge and glaringly colored canvas
which had been turned down. AT
last he said:
Madam, go back and tell your good
husband that when he will send us in
a picture as small and as charming
as pretty and well painted, as YOU"
There the story ends, with not
word as to what followed the speech.

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of a good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia Il. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be a great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering. and in disappointments at
birth.

Seeing California.

The average eastern tourist wher
visiting California enters the state at
Los Angeles, takes few rides on the
various radiating electric lines, hus-
ties onto the train for San Francisco,
visits the seals, and hastens north or
east affirming that he has seen Cali
fornia"-but has he? True, he has
seen sights to which his eyes were not
accustomed, eaten various fruits and
vegetables strangers to his palate,
and breathed the wondrous air, but to
see California understandingly one
must visit the mountains as well as
the valleys. Probably no other Sec
tion is richer in scenes noted for their
beauty and grandeur, places made
famous in literature than is Tuolumne
county in the Sierra Nevada foothills
of California.-S. H. Smith in Sunset
Magazine for May.
