81 Trust You"

world was against me you said, I

If every boy or girl who has made
mistakes and gone astray could have
such a friend a great many of them
would return to a normal life. The
feeling that somebody believes in US,
trusts US. no matter what others be-
lieve or say, touches the heart. Grim
inals are sometimes totally reformed
through the consciousness that some
body still believes in them. no matter
how low they may have fallen. Could
we realize how much this trust and
confidence would do for a man when
everything else has failed we should
be more generous of our confidence IL

Financial Prosperity and Its Worries
and Perplexities.
Once upon time a young man and
a girl loved each other fondly. He
was poor, but bright, energetic and
persevering. She was pretty, cheerful
and amiable They married. Theft
friends thought they might have wait
ed until their prospects were better.
but they laughed prudence to scorn.
Two years after the marriage the
wife met one of her friends.
How are you getting alOng?i asked
the friend.
Very nicely, said the wife, beaming
MY husband is so good, and have
such a lovely baby. And, just think,
we have $1,000 in the bank, and we
don't owe a cent to anybody
Five years later the friend met heI
again.
81 hear you are doing very wen,'
she said "Some one told me your
husband had $4,000 invested in real
estate"
"Why. yes" said the wife, ''but it's
such worry. There are repairs and
taxes and interest on mortgages, and
one of the tenants has just moved out
owing us a whole months rent. Isn't
it shame?'
Five years more elapsed, and again
the friend met her.
"They tell me you're growing rich, P"
she said.
"Ye-es, but I'm anxious about the
stock market. My husband has $4,000
in stocks, and he thinks they're going
up, but I'm not so sure about it. Ip'

Five years later-another meeting.
"From what l hear your husband

OUR LARGEST SCALES.
The Monster Weighing Machine In the
Washington Navy Yard.

The biggest scales in the country
are III the navy yard at Washington.
They outweigh the largest railway
scales by fifty tons. The latter are
not to be sneezed at, for they easily
weigh as much as a heavily loaded
car. The navy yard scales are so ac-
curate that they come within a pound
of the exact weight Railway scales
are considered good if they come with
in fifty pounds. All the large ord
nance manufactured for the navy is
weighed upon this machine, which is
some ten years old. The scales look
like ordinary hay scales.
The delicate mechanism is invisible,
the most intricate parts being in a
broad pit below the ground. The plat
form is fOrty-eight feet long and
twelve feet wide Beneath the power
full machinery is a cement base laid
upon long piles. A solid base being
one of the prime requisites of a pow
erful weighing machine, it was found
necessary to use a pile driver to Sc
cure a stable foundation.
The machine is regarded as the I'M
est of its kind in the world and is a
splendid achievement of American In
genuity. In order to show the ac-
curacy of the scales an official picked
up half a brick and tossed it upon the
platform. He then consulted a long
brass lever and found that the brick
weighed just one pound.
The capacity of the scales is 15C

DociIe and Plastic.
Because it is the duty of every wo-
man to marry some man it by no
means follows that she is deprived of
the privilege Of making acute discrim-
inatiOn. On the contrary. to fulfill
her mission as completely as possible
she should exercise the greatest care in
selecting mate. Time was when she
had no say in the matter. and in some
countries she has little or none today,
but in this happily civilized land she
still possesses and will undoubtedly
hold for all time the right first to
choose and then ensnare. 1t is a no
BILE prerogative-one.i in our judgment,
that should be appreciated and cher
ished above all others. And yet, as we
have observed, it should be exercised
with caution. Let nothing be- left to
chance, as Plato would have had it
when he decreed that pairing should
be done by lot While not overnice, be
at least particular in order that the
one chosen may feel honored by the
distinction conferred upon him and so
be the more readily induced to show
his undying gratefulness.
Much that was thought and written
years ago on how to choose a wife was
good enough for the time, but the re-
cent reversal of the relative attitudes
of seeker and sought renders it value
less. Nevertheless, despite the fact
that in considering the points to be
needed and the precautions to be OBJ.
served by womankind we find our
selves in a fallow field, certain gen,
eral principles may be regarded as es
tablished. 1t is best, for example, tC
capture a husband while he is still
young, dOcile and plastic. Preferably
also he should be in love- He may
then be trained after the manner bes
calculated to serve the convenience o.

every man refused, choosing
Ieath by horrible torture and dy-

This passion for self-sacrifce
$ the keynote of the Russian char

irmy by every possible means.
The recruit is invariably told the
story of that heroic company Of
nfantrymen in the Lomakin expe-
lition into Turkestan, who, at a
'ritical moment. threw them
ielves into a deep ditch in order
hat the guns, which were sorely
needed at the front, might be gal

doubtful whether this could have
happened in any army but the
Russian.
