Unsuccessful Success,

A Kansas woman, Mrs. A. J. Stan.
ley, of Lincoln, has been awarded a
prize of $3.50 by Boston firm for the
best answer in the question, What
constitutes success?" She wrote:
He has achieved success who has
lived well, laughed often and loved
much; who has gained the respect of
intelligent men and the love of little
children; who has filled his niche and
accomplished his task; who has left
the world better than he found it,
whether by an improved poppy, a per-
feet poem or rescued soul; who has
never lacked appreciation of earths
beauty or failed to express it; who
has always looked for the best in
others and given the best he had:

Before the Jack Frost season.
And SO all felt that duty called
10 them to help the bending.
ANA get each leaf in autumn shape
Before to earth descending.
They climbed the trees and tried TO give
Each leaf a little turning.
But many, nanny ioated down
While they their task Were learning.
Then back they'd climb and work at
what
Ihey thought to be their duty,
Until no leaf remained uncurled,
And autumn lost its beauty.
They worked so fast and recklessly
That every other minute
Down came leaf. toboGSan- shaped

To see the elves I'm trying.
The leaves float down, and some are

A Simple DISGUISE.

Take two half, shells Of an almond,
large enough to be held between the
upper eyelid and the cheek. Bore a
small hole in the middle of each one
a little larger than the pupil Of the
eye. You must do this with the sharp
end of penknife, as such tool as
gimblet will crack the nut.
The inside of the shells should be
thoroughly cleaned Paint the out
sides white with water colors. You
can use oil colors if you like, only
water colors dry quickly, which will
enable you to make the monster pop
eyes the faster.
Paint an iris of dark green around
the pupil hole, leaving a. white spot
for the high light" or, in other words
the reflected light which is in every
eyeball. Make the iris Tor dark por-
ton Of the eye9 somewhat larger than
in the natural eye. You may get the
natural color by mixing blue with
little yellow and red.
Now fit these "googoo eyes" in po-
sition after the fashion of a monocle
or single eyeglass, and you will ind
that you are practically masked.-

Doctor Wheeler, president Of the
American Institute of Electrical En-
gineers, in speech at its twenty
third annual convention, set up a
high ideal for his profession. He
maintained that the engineer, hand
ling great forces of nature, is as
much under obligation to his client
as the clergyman, the doctor and the
lawyer, and ought, therefore, to heed
the words of Francis Bacon: II hold
every man a debtor to his profess
sion; from the which, as men Of
course do seek to receive counter
ance and profit. so ought they of
duty to endeavor themselves by way
of amends to be help and ornament
thereto"

An Elephant 6 Eath.

a man sits on the elephants neck
and guides him into the water. When
the elephant gets well into the water
the man very soon siiDs off his neck
and makes for the land. for the eIe-
plant wants to have q bit Of sport all
to himself before the men take him in
hand for his MONDAY bath. He is
nearly as bad as the water buffalo
for rolling about in the water.
He begins by sucking in gallons of
water up his trunk, blowing it all
over his body and back, and up into
the air, and then he goes in for
swim, blowing the water all about
him like great whale. When the
men think he has had enough fun on
his own account they order him back,
and this huge mol ster, who could defy
fifty men, turns and swims back at
once, like an obedient child.
Then one man mounts his neck and
scrubs his head-not with soap and a
yard of flannel, but with a burnt
brick. The other man sits on his
back and with anothe. brick scrubs
his back and great TANKS Then they
bring him into still shallower water,
about three Or four feet deep, and
make him lie on one side, and scrub
every available part Of his body with
the bricks; then they tell him to turn
over, and the great beast rolls over
Obediently on the other side, and
when that is done they make him
stand up, and scrub his great legs and
his pendulum tail. And, oh! how the
animal enjoys his scrubbing. He
would let them do 1t all day if they
would.
Then the two mount, one on the
neck and the other fair in the middle
of the little hump on his back, and let
him 60 out for swim Away and
away, and away they go; gradually
the elephant sinks deeper and deeper
into the water, till you see nothing |
but the top Of his great, big round |
head, and he blows out water, and |
trumpets from his trunk Elephant /

don't like to have boys about that
grumble and hate to work."
The barn was finished long before
supper time, for no one bothered little
John that day. His mother picked up
the chips herself, and did not even
call him to run on errands.
But when the barn was finished,
little John was tired of it, and ran in
to the house and asked his mother to
tell him story.
Il can't tell you a story" answered
his mother, for l am busy. Run
away now and play"
But John was tired Of playf e, so
he wandered out into the kitchA, and
there he smelled the Saturdays bak-
ing.
He ran and looked on a low shelf
in the pantry where his mother al
ways put a little pie for him, but the
shelf was bare.
Mamma" cried John, bursting into
the sitting room where his mother
was sewing, where's my little pie?"
What pie?" questioned his mother,
who seemed surprised
why, you always make me a little
pie or turnover when you bake; that's
the one mean"
Il used to- said his mother; "but
I was too busy this morning to bother
with little pies"
John went soberly outdoors and sat
down in the shade of his new barn
to think; if he had helped his mother,
wouldn't she have had time to tell
the story, and if he had brought in the
chips when she was baking wouldn't
she have found time to make him a
little pie?
Il ought to help my mother whether
she bakes me pies or not" said little
John solemnly to himself 1T doesn't

Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canal--stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small in
testines, and if we eat too much, as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and a long train Of
ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to d.
gest and this is changed into acids.
sour stomach, belching gas, and a
bloated, heavy feeling.
In these conditions change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders In not only relieving
the distress, but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and

II doctQred for two years without

there was no cure for me. I could
not eat anything without suffering
severe pain in my back and sides, and
I became discouraged.

than two weeks began to feel better
and inside of two months I was a
well woman and have been ever since.

Even the time honored Korean Cop

Even the time honored Korean Cop
knot is in danger from the invasion
of Western civilization. It was re-
vealed to the Western gaze in Cap
tain Basil Halls story of his first in
terview with the natives, whose hair,
he said, was formed into a high con-
zeal knot on the top of their heads.
The last number Of the Korea Review
says that the Minister of Agriculture,
Commerce and Industries has Just
risen in his might and declared that
no man wearing a topknot shall here
after infest his branch of the public
service. The topknot, in fact, has
been generally discarded among the
higher classes, but others have chung
more tenaciously to the customs of
their fathers. This high official, de-
clares the New York Sun, however,
meant business. and there was an i'm
mediate stampede of clerks and sub
ordinate officials to the barber shops,
whence they emerged wearing their
hair in the Western style.

THE "HOLY HOUSE,"

Let me first give the main outlines
OF the legend. At Nazareth was pre-
served with pious care the House o
our Lady. The dwelling place IL
which she received the gracious mes
sage of the Incarnation, the loWl!
home which sheltered the Holy Fam
lily for so many years, was a very
precious sanctuary. On May 10, 1871
a month after the taking of Tripod
and Ptolemais, this Holy House was
carried by the hands of angels from
Nazareth to a place in Dalmatia be
tween Fiume and Tersatz on the Ad
riatic shore.
1t was a one rOmoed edifice, built OF
red square stones, fastened with ce
ment, and bore proof of age and ORR
entail design. 1t stood without any
foundation and had wooden decor.
ated ceiling. The walls were cover
ed with frescOes; there was door
and a narrow window; inside there
was an altar of stone, an ancient cru.
cifix, small cupboard, containing a
few vessels of common use; chin.
ney and hearth, above which was a
cedar statue of our Lady with the
Hold Child in her arms. The pastor
of the place learned in a vision that
the building was the House of Our
Lady; the stone altar that at which

statue the work of ST. Luke the Evan.

by some shepherds and soon became
recognized, and was henceforth a
much frequentel place of pilgrimage
Eight months afterward the house re-
moved to a small hill, three miles |
from Recanati, to land belonging to |
two brothers, who however, fell out |
shortly afterward over the division of |
wealth which began to flow to the |
new shrine.
To save strife between the broth
ers the house was suddenly lifted once
more, and this time settled down,
finally. in the midst of the puhl;c way,
which had to be diverted in conse-
quence. Here, too, in the course of
time chapel was built. which gave
way in time to the present basilica
The famous pilgrimage of Loreto goes
on today. Popes. kings and princes
have visited this shrine and left great
gifts. Later on a festival with litur-

the feast of the translation of the
Holy House was extended to many
countries.-Fortnightly Review.

In spite Of the ANNOUNCEMENTS OF
the spirit of militarism. the question
of international disarmament still oc.
cupies the public mind in Europe
There is no doubt. observes the Phil.
adelphia Record, that in harmony
with the resolution of the British
House OF Commons last May the next
Hague conference will formulate a
plan for gradual reduction of army
and navy establishments that will be
acceptable to the nations. BY reduc-
ing military expenditures without the
least endangering national safety the
growing deficit in the treasury of the
French Republic would be converted
into a large surplus that could be
devoted to education and other peace
full objects. The English masses
would also be relieved of a heavy
burden of taxation by this interna-
tional policy of which mutual jeal-
ousies have hitherto prevented the
adoption.
