The Set of the Sales.

1t is true that fate, or God, destines
every on OF us to cross life's ocean,
but how one shall cross it, worthily or
unworthily. successfully or uDsuccess-
fully, happily or unhappily is left
very much to herself.
The fact is that no one has a right
to be resigned to any unfavoraDle
thing Or circumstance that che can,
by forethought, by will, by endeavor
and industry, change. So-called res
ignation Is often an excuse for fab
by will. or lazy habits OF mind and
body, or both.
We shall have a mosa effective
factor in remaking the world for
good. for happiness, for Wilderness,
when every one as soon as she Is old
enough to think seriously shall set
her face and bend her efforts toward
something that will not only give her
living but a life, strong pulsed,
stimulating, adequate life; when
every woman purposes in her heart
what she will be and do and, In spite
OF all that others may say and urge,
casts off every OBTAINING cord and
sets and keeps her course towards the
chosen port where she shall success :

REMARKABLE RESCUE.

That truth Is stranger than fiction,
has once more been demonstrated in
the little town OF of Fedora, Tenn,
the residence Of G. V. Pepper. He
writes: 81 was in bed, entirely dis
abled with hemorrhages of the lungs
and throat Doctors failed to help
me, and all hopes had fed when be-
gan taking DR.. Kings New Discovery.

Farewell to the Broom.

"1he problems Of the housekeerer
are receiving from the architects OF
houses something of the attention
| they have long claimed in vain,"
writes John l.. Anderton in the May
Woman's Home Companion.
"The solution of the sweeping oId
lem is a case in point. In one Of the
! newest apartment houses there is not
broom to be found from cellar to
garrett, or rather from third subcellar
| to the aircleaning chamber on the
roof. Every suite throughout the
building is equipped with vacuum
! cleaning apparatus. There Ia d pipe
connected with the vacuum chambe
in the base ment in every suite, while
flexible hose long enough to reach
to the furthest corner of every room
is supplied, which may be readily at
tached to nozzle in this piping just
as you would connect garden hose
The vacuum is controlled by a spiggot.
1t is only necessary to pass the noz-
| eel Of this vacuum hose over the car
pet, rug or drapery, and every par
ticle OF dust is instantly drawn up in
| to the hose. The dirt collected in
this way passes quickly into the pipe,
and thence, perhaps a matter of a
dozen stories to chamber in the sub
cellar, where an attendant shovels it
up and carries it away.
"The.nozzle which picks up this
dust allows no particle to escape, 80
that in all this sweeping there is
| literally no dust incidentally it
remove more dust than the most
persistent and vigorous broom. The
entire operation Of sweeping nigh
be carried on with the sweeper in
evening dress, so far, at least, as
cleanliness is concerned. The work
OF hours is reduced to minutes"

Passing of the Strenuous Life"
From the Bohemian.


Do you remember when the head of the
nation first inspired us with the strenuous
ideal? We heard read the word, and
when the small boy asked US what II meant
we cleared our throat and told him not to
bother When he wasn't looking we
opened the dictionary and found out for
ourselves. Then We became rampant siren
uous livers We read and we talked-es-
pecially we talked-the strenuous existence:
we got up devilishly early In the winter.
pounded ourselves the chest. took cold
baths. ran around the block and prepared
ourselves to be President, too. some day.
But it didn't last. To be born strenuous
is one thing. Ut isn't your fault. and you
can't legltimately take any credit for it,
To acquire strenuousness is different
thing: II takes lots of will power-especial-
ly when there is ice on the bath room win
dows just before you plunge in. And to
have strenuousness thrust at you, over you.
upon you. is still another thing. 1t Is a
thing you can't talk yourself into liking for
any length of time-uness you are an in
surance solicitor with winning ways.
The novelty of the strenuous life wore
off. You remember how. You got up later:
you turned little warm water into the cold
for the bath; you walked one block In place
Of ten: and the woodpile grew lichen-cov

Describing Nothing.

From the Chicago Tribune
Little four-year-old Bessie and her little
friend Margaret one bright morning were
sitting in the back part of the church while
the reverend father was reading mass They
soon began to get restless, and before long
were making considerable commotion. This
greatly annoyed the good father, and as
soon as he was through with the service he
hurried to the tots to reprimand them The
little. ones were SO busily engaged that they
did not notice him until he was standing be-
side them:
What are you doing here. children?' he
comma nded 's4 ~ So t.s..s--.
Nothing. father. meekly answered Bes-
sic. .<,-
Tell me, then, what is nothing?, said the
good man.
Bessie looked up seriously, and after q
moments pause said: ''Shut your eyes
tight father, and you'll see it."

Walpole and "Airgonauts."


In the year 1884 the problem of human
flight was occupying a prominent place in
the public mind. as II is today. The French
man. Jean Pierre Blanchard had Just made
his first ascent from Paris in a balloon
filled with hydrogen. He took with him
wings and a rudder. apparently proposing
to fly. but found them useless. Later
Blanchard crossed the channel in his aerial
machine. Horace Walpole comments on the
doings of the ''airgonauts." as he calls
them. "You see." he writes, 1.-The alrgo-
nauts have passed the rubicon. BY their
own account they were exactly birds; they
flew through the air. perched on the top OF
a tree, some passengers climbed up and took
them in their nest" After seeing a balloon
descending Waipole amuses himself by
meditating on the future of what he calls
''airgonation." He sees the art of flying
perfected and deposing that of navigation

Increase in the area available for tillage;
but the promise of 1884 was not fulfilled,
and in 1864 no further progress had been
made. The later years of the nineteenth
and the early years of the present
century. however. have witnessed great ad-
vances, and Walpoles prophecies may yet
be fulfilled.

New Wrinkle, in Photography.
rom the Outing Magazine

From the Outing Magazine.
The main secret of success with a tee-
photo is absolute rigidity. which can be
secured by using firm tripod. propping
up the front of the camera with a stick
or brace and sheltering 1t from the wind.
The proper exposure in bright sunlight is
about one-half second with the lens wide
open. Sometimes one can secure just as
good pictures by employing a single men,
Der of a large doublet and charging the
picture at home. Yet If the telephoto is
handled rightly it will give very fine pic
lures, though there is a lack of depth of
focus. The time was when 1 had almost
given up in despair the securing of first
class pictures with this cumbersome ar
rangement, but my courage has revived
as during the season just passed I have
secured with it some of my best pictures
particularly when it was used from a
sheltered place, in concealment. $50

Senator West Introduces Measure to Make Every One Appearing Re- fore Committees State Their
 Interests in LegisIataon.

Tallahassee. Fla, April 10.--(Special.) The administration won another point today in the House when a mo- tion to reconsider the resolution pass ed yesterday calling for an investiga- tion of the internal improvement trus- tees was passed.
 Under the reconsideration it was made obligatory for the legislative i'm vestigation committee to report to the present session and eliminated the clause which authorized the employ. ment of special attorneys for the inves- tigation.
 Real interest in the Senate was aroused today by the introduction of bill by Senator West of the First District, which provides that all per- sons who go before committees shall be required to state in what interest they appear if they are there at their own interest. This is aimed directly at the lobbyists, who are numerous at the capital.
 The Governor has taken a determined stand against lobbying and the meas ure is in agreement with his senti- ment.

the disposition of the prisoner would rest with Justice Fitzgerald. Thaw having already been declared sane by the report Of a commission which Justice Fitzgerald has approved and confirmed, it would seem that the pris- oner must be released.
 At SEQ the jury was taken to the Grand Central Hotel for dinner. Al S:52 they returned to the court house and immediately went to the consult tation room where they continued the discussion of the verdict.
 When it became apparent that there was no possibility of decision being reached by D. m, Justice Fiezgcrald went home and left word that he would return whenever the jury dcsir- ed him. The court room was emptied and the doors were locked.
 AS time wore on the crowd await ing the verdict grew smaller and smaller At last the court house cor riders were deserted, only the court reporters remaining.
 Mrs. William Thaw left the court room after her long vigil and went back to her apartments in m uptown hotel. Evelyn Thaw remains at the court house ready to be by her hus- bands side when a verdict is render ed.
 At 10 o'clock the streets about the court house which during the after noon had been crowded were entirely deserted
 It seemed to be the general impress sion everywhere that there was nc possibility of verdict being reached before tomorrow morning, if then.
