has mines by the score in Germany and a number of quarries and ship yards at Kiel. She Is not yet q years of age, but exerts more commercial in- fuence and possesses a greater indus trial power than any other woman In the world. She is pretty girl with a dark. rich complexion; dresses plainly and is a superb horsewoman. She Is Tn close touch with the gigantic indus- tries under her control and knows per sonally thousands of her begrimed en- ployes. Her delight is visiting their families, looking after their needs in sickness and sharing their joys in their health and prosperity.
 After the wedding the bride an- nounced that she and her husband would give s2500oo toward the work mems invalid fund. Her mother said she would give another s2oo,Oo0 and would also donate 125 acres of land on which to build model economical cot tages for the workmen.
 The great Krupp fortune, to which she fell the principal and directing heir, is one of the most gigantic in the world. The history of the Essen fac tory dates back to 1910, when Peter Frederich Krupp began his experi. ments h steel-maklng and was ruined thereby. Ills son, Alfred Krupp. left an orphan at 14, was the real founder of the house. He took up the experiments where his father had left them. and from the manufacture of unveiled tires for wagon wheels drifted Into the making of guns When the Prince Regent of Prussia, afterward Emperor William I. of Germany, gave Krupp an order for 300 guns. he made the future of the works secure. Since that time more than 10000 gigantic weapons have been supplied to no less than th!rty-nve nations and States. To-day the Krupp field gun is the basis Of the mobile artillery of Germany. Austria. Hungary. Italy, Russia and Turkey.
 For three generations the Krupp works had descended from father to son, but there was no son to succeed Baron Frederick Krupp. But Bertha had been her fathers chum and conf1- dante and she knew almost as much about the works as be did. Therefore he named her as his successor, and she has proved we'll equipped for the task.

Medical Inspection for Students,

According to the School Journal it Is estimated that the expense of operating the new inspection law in Massachusetts public schools is about s25 per 1000 in- habitants, in the larger cities, but that in smaller places where the doctor comes only when sent for the expense is s11 per 1000.

The expense is to bs borne by a local appropriation.

The traditional American way, the traditional English way. of dealing with abuses, evils. injustices, Is to remedy them by better laws, by better methods of administration, by the selection of better men for office. The process Is not one of sudden impulse, not one of revolutionary change. It Is sometimes exasperatingly slow. It requires pa tience as well as energy, careful thought as well as determination and zeal. It offers little excitement to those who do the work and does not present to the nation at large much sat isfaction as a dramatic spectacle But, slow as the process may be and other wise deficient In soul-stirring quality, 1t has the great recommendation of be- ing pursued In accordance with stand. ards that are based in sober thought and that have been tested by experI- enca

 Since the caddie never once laughed or sneered at his bad play, the broker took fancy to him. At the end of the round, in the hope of praise, he said:
 "I have been travelling for the last six months. I am quite out of practice. That is why I am in such bad form today"

FORGET YOURSELF.
No One Can Grow While His
Thoughts Are Self Conferred.

No One Can Grow While His
Thoughts Are Self Conferred.
Forget yourself. You will never do
anything great until you do. Self con-
seriousness is a disease with many.
No matter what they do, they can new
er get away from themselves. They
become warped upon the subject of
self analysis, wondering how they
look. how they appear, what others
will think of them and how they can
enhance their own interests. In other
words, every thought and every effort
seems to focus upon self; nothing radi-
ates from them.
No one can grow while his thoughts
are self centered. The sympathies of
the man who thinks only of himself
are soon dried up. Self consciousness
acts as n paralysis to all expansion,
strangIes enlargement, kills aspiration,
cripples executive ability. The mind
which accomplishes things looks out,
not in; it is focused upon its object,
not upon itself.
The immortal acts have been uncOn-
sciously performed. The greatest pray
ers have been the silent longings, the
secret yearnings of the heart, not those
which have been delivered facing a
critical audience. The daily desire is
the perpetual prayer, the prayer that
is heard and answered.-Success.

THE BEAUTIFUL HAND.
A Decision Tint Stood the Test of
All Time.


There was n dispute among three
ladies as to which had the most beau
tiful hand. One sat by stream and
dipped her hand into the water and
held it up, another pluclzed strawber-
ries until the ends of her fingers were
pink and another gathered violets until
her hands were fragrant An old, bag
gard woman, passing by, asked, WHO
will give me gift, for am poor" All
three denied her. but another who sat
near, unwashed in the stream, I'M
stained with fruit, unadorned with
flowers, gave her q little gift and salts
fed the poor woman, and then she ask
ed them what was the dispute, and
they told her and lifted up before her
their beautiful hands. Beautiful in
deed" said she when she saw them,
but when they asked her which was the
most beautiful she said, 1T is not the
hand which is washed clean in the
brook. it is not the hand that is tipped
with red, 1t Is not the hand that is gar
landed with fragrant flowers, but the
hand that gives to the poor Is the most
beautiful AS she said these words
her wrinkles fed, her staff was thrown
away and she stood before them an
angel from heaven, with authority to
decide the question in dispute, and that
decision has stood the test of all time.

STATE LOTTERIES.
They Were Once Very Common and
Very Popular I'm Europe.

Lotteries were common in ancient
Rome. and during the middle ages lot
teries We're utilized by the Italian mer-
chants for the disposal of their goods.
Some of the Italian states then adopted
the lottery as d means of raising rove
nue.. and the institution of state lot
teries afterward became very COM
mon and very popular throughout Eu-
rope.
The earliest English state lottery of
which there is any record was in 1869.
when 10000 chances were sold at ~
shNings each, the drawing taking
place in the west door of St. Paurs
cathedral.
The prizes consisted of articles of
plate, and the profits We're employed
for the repair of certain harbors. Early
in the reign of Queen Anne private lot
teries were suppressed las public nui-
sances." but government lotteries, how
ever, were still maintained. and from
1909 to 1924 considerable sums were
annually raised in lotteries authorized
by acts of parliament.
The average yearly profit to the gov
eminent from 1913 to 1924 was over
f340,0O0 On the ground of injury to
public morals lotteries of all kinds
were abolished in England in 1926

that nine-tenths of the nervous pros

900 OF the property of that Company
to escape taxation. The official rec

OF the burden OF taxation than many
of the great corporations or a vast
majority of the rich-the man with
the bank account and with money to
