GETTING AROUSED.

Many people seem to think that ann bition is quality born with us; that it is not susceptible to improvement; that it Is something thrust upon us which will take care of itself. But it is passion that responds very quickly to cultivation, and it requires constant care and education, just as the faculty for music or art does, or it will atrophy.
 If we do not try to realize our am- bition, it will not keep sharp and de- fined. Our faculties become dull and soon lose their power if they are not exercised. How can we expect our am- bition to remain fresh and vigorous through years of inactivity, indolence, or indifference? If we keep letting opportunities slip by us without mak- ing any attempt to grasp them, our in- clination will grow duller and weaker,
 What I most need" as Emerson says, lis somebody to make me do what I can." To do what I can, that is my problem; not what Napoleon or a Lincoln could do, but what can do. It makes all the difference in the world to me whether I bring out the best thing in me, or the worst-whether l utilize ten, fifteen, twenty-five, or nine ty per cent, of my ability
 Everywhere we see people who have reached middle life or later without being aroused. They have developed only a small percentage of their success possibilities. They are still in a dreamy state The best thing in them lies so deep that it has never been awakened. When we meet these peo- pie we feel conscious that they have a great deal of latent power that has never been exercised, Great possiblli- ties of usefulness and of achievement are, all unconsclously, going to waste within them.
 If you interview the great army oi failures, you will find multitudes have failed because they never got into 6 stimulating, encouraging environment because their ambition was never aroused, or because they were nor strong enough to rally under depress ing, dlscouraging, or vicious surround ings, Most of the people we find fl prisons and poorhouses are pitiable ex amples of the influenceepf an environ ment which appealed to, the worst in stead of to the best in them.-Orisor Swett Warden In "SuccessMagazine.

HEROIC TREATMENT OF LEGIs-
 LAYTON

Despite the oft-quoted reflection that the modern world revolves so rapidly that happenings which are looked upon with astonishment to-day will be re- garded as commonplace tomorrow, the latest proceeding of the House of Representatives in the direction of changing it's rules in order to expedite business is nevertheless somewhat startling. Indeed, had the ghost of the late Speaker Thomas B. Reed been abroad in the Capitol Wednesday last it would possibly have been persuaded into believing that perhaps those stren- uous, exciting days of the Fifty-frst Congress were purely mythical after all merely the fantasies caused by pres sure upon the brain from the unnatural heat waves of that lurid summer of 1890. For 1t was popularly supposed that Mir. Reed had out-Samsoned sam son and dragged down the very pillars of the Constitution on the heads of the American people. But this "un- precedented and outrageous assault upon the minority" which aroused a NUTluNl GOllllONIISIg Nbo PVi iBNNlN'b- ed'' less than sixteen years ago; and now when the House of Representa- tives actually out-Reeds Reed in put ting autocratic and arbitrary power into the hands of the majority through the mechanism of the committee on rules the act is practically uTuoticed.
 All that Mr. Reed did to deserve the title of Czar was to count as present, in order to make up a quorum to do business those members who sitting in their seats or in range of the Speaker s eye refused to vote. What the com mittee on rules did afterward was to clothes such executive action with par liamentary authority, and later to am plify and perfect the machinery of the House so that at any time the majority could bring in a special rule making prompt and effective the operation of the previous question-that is, the clos ing of debate and the taking of the vote. The country we'll remembers the furore caused by these occurrences.
 The House last Wednesday, however
 in order to save the Legislative, Ex- ecutive and Judicial Appropriation bill from the fire of those who would amend it or filibuster against it's passage adopted a rule reported from the com mittee on rules more drastic than any
 thing contained in the previous record By the vote of one hundred and sixty nine to one hundred and nine, twenty Republicans voting with the minority
 a special rule was adopted giving tht appropriations committee in express
 disregard of the standing rules of thu
 House, the privilege of offering amend
 ments already stricken from the bill

 against a proposed amendment of tn,

 not germane, and excluding from thi'

JoE's LUCK.
Drew a Prize in Matrimonial Lottery

'sBefore we were married my husband was a coffee thinker and subject to ee- were attacks of sick headache, which interfered with his duties as sup't of large factory" writes young Mass. matron.
 q had made up my mind that coffee was at least partly to blame, and that I could cure him after marriage by the use of Postum Food Coffee.
 When I told my younger sister about it, she laughed and said, Just wait and see After you are yarried vou'll find that Joe will have his coffee any way.
 q proceeded gradually, first elimina- ting by degrees the pastry and sweets from the daily menu, and as his meals were always daintily served and appe- tizing he began to have faith in his wife's ability as cook.
 'Afeantine his headaches became less freouent, but did not cease altogether. When the time was ripe and proposed +o use Postum Food Coffee he consent ed mon the promise that he should have the old kind of coffee at his Sun daV iDr6dkIdSl. IlS SACW 1oiN VI NA4S new food drink, however, and noted that after drinking the old coffee on Sundays he suffered from unsteady nerves and a dull heavy feeling that he never had on the days when he drank Postl1m. The result was that at last he said I would rather have the Postum Food Coffee Sunday morning, too, Ii you don't mind, my dear. The old kind makes me feel like a fool all day You may imagine how ready was to fall n with this suggestion. The old kind Of coffee has been banished from our ta- ble for more than two years now; Joe headaches are only a memory and he always has steady nerves and a cle1i brain to meet the exacting demands O. his business. On hot summer days ht ~elishes a glass of clear, cold PostuIf with a squeeze of lemon, at noon' ma ing 1t most refreshing.

CHURCHES IN SNOW AND
 FOSSILS

Other odd Materials Used to Build
 Houses of worship
 The Rev. E. J. Peck, who after thirty years missionary work amid the ice and snow of the Arctic regions, has just returned home, relates some curi- ous experience in church building among the Esquimaux. One place of worship he constructed out of snow blocks, from whicn material be likewise made both the seats for the congregation and the altar This church although but a rude and temporary structure, says London Tit-Bits, answered it's purpose in protecting the worshippers from the bitter cold and winds.
 Even more singular was the church this indefatigable missionary erected on the desolate shore, of Blacklead Island, Cumberland Sound. Forty sealskins sewn together and stretched over a framework of whales constitu- ted the walls and roof, while the in- terior was provided with provision boxes and boards that did duty for seats.
 The first place of worship ever erect ed at Perth, In western Australia, Is l worthy of note, not only by reason of the unusual material employed in it's construction, but because of the varied uses to which it was put. When, in 1929, the Second Company of the Sixty third Regiment arrived in the colony the men proceeded to collect a quantity l of rushes from which they with con- siderable skill and ingenuity, con- | structed a small building where every Sunday divine service was held. For more secular purposes, however, did 1t 1 serve. for not only was 1t employed as a. barracks, but at intervals 1t did | duty as a theatre, on the boards of which it's builders displayed their his- trionic ability,
 Vitrifed clay is the material of which a Chicago church has been con- structed. even the window frames be- ing of that material. The decorative features are white terra cotta, the altars. communion rail and organ loft being of that substance. The ceiling Is of brick and the vaulting, the key stones of terra cotta, and the ribs of | the arCneS anu SlolAS Ol Auuulueu brick. Another peeuliarity attaches to this church, for like Solomon's Temple,
 it was built without sound of hammer, not a single nail having bueen used in it's construction.
 Near the Niagara Falls, in the little
 village of Numford, stands a church
 which may be said to be literally built
 of fossils. At first the edifice would
 appear to be constructed of rough sandstone, covered with a coating of 1 coarse plaster, which on nearer ap proach, resolves itself in to a delicate tracery of leaves, branches and twigs preserved for all time by being meta morphosed into indurated masses oi

Henry ". Again Presented With suc-
 cess Before Large Audiences
 The production last night of King Henry the Fourth" by the members of the Yale Dramatic association was a most pronounced success, The Fly perion was completely filled with rep resentative audience from the leaders of society of the city and the uniyer- sity.
 MT. Hopkins as King Henry the Fourth, MT. Stark as Henry, Prince of Wales, and MT. Achelis as Henry Per- cy, surnaned Hotspur, rendered their parts with exceptional dramatic ability MT. Perry as Sir John Falstaff was ideal in his makeup, and did his part with the ease and facility of profess sional, meeting with the repeated ap- probation of the audience. Mir. Harris as Lady Percy and MT. Smith as Dame Quickly drew forth the amused ap- plause of their auditors.
 The other members of the association, in their support, acquitted themselves much better than is usual with even the best professional companies.
