RULES FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE
Apportlon Days Work, and Give Every
Energy to 1t.

The prescriptions and methodical
individual who can neither sleep nor
take vacation until all the affairs
of his life are arranged must remind
himself that this happy consummation
will not be attained in his lifetime,
says Lippincotts. 1t behooves him,
therefore, if he is ever to Sleep or if
he is ever to take a vacation, to do
it now, nor need he postpone in
definitely
The days work should be started
with the resolution that every task
shall be taken up in its turn, with
out doubts and without forebodings.
that bridges shall not be crossed until
they are reached, that the vagaries of
others shall amuse and interest, not
distress us, and that we shall live in
the present, not in the past or the
future We must avoid undertaking
too much, and whatever we do under
take we must try not to worry as to
whether we shall succeed. This only
prevents our succeeding. We should
devote all our efforts to the task it.

under these circumstances may be bet

DISTANCES SEEM TO SHORTEN
Thing That Struck New Yorker on
His Latest Visit to Old Home.

The thing that struck me this
time" said New Yorker who had
just made little visit to the town
in which he was born, was the short
ness of the distances in the old place.
Il remember that when l first used
to go back the buildings there that had
seemed big to me in my youth grad
ually grew small, but this time the dis
lance had dwindled remarkably, too
THE railroad station there is on the
edge of the town and you take a
street car to ride to the business cen
ter. That used to seem to me to
lie quite ride; but this time we got
there before I knew it.
What l said, you don't mean
we've got to Blank street,?
Yes, here we are, said the old
home friend, and so we We're.
you see, the distances were shrink
ing now, as the buildings had already
done; and friendly and pleasant as the
old town seemed-and it's steadily
growing, too. and is bigger place
than ever-still it seemed smaller and
smaller to one whose later and now
fixed impressions were of the big
buildings and the big distances of the
big town of New York"

SEND IN "coNsclENcE MONEY!"
Londoners Make Amends for Faults In
Many Queer Ways.

Conscience money" advertisements
are published from time to time in the
London papers, acknowledging receipt
by the chancellor of the exchequer of
various sums from anonymous people
who have evaded taxation and later re-
pented of cheating their country.
A remarkable instance of this was
the published acknowledgment of
$1,S00 in gold from tx X X" The bull
lion was sent by registered post to
the treasury, where 1t was suspected
of being bomb or Internal machine,
but it proved to be tin box contain
ing $50 sovereigns neatly packed with
a note signed X x x" stating that
the coin was conscience money" and
asking for an acknowledgment in the
newspaper.
Five thousand dollars was the lar
gest amount ever received by the
treasury as conscience money" Per
haps the queerest form of sending
conscience money" was that adopted
by one onscience-stricken taxpayer,
who sent 100 sovereigns, each neatly
wrapped in paper and inserted in one
OF the 100 round holes made in a tablet
of wood. The offering was inclosed in
a large envelope, which a secretary of
the treasury found on his desk one
morning.

CASTING Out the Devils.

Responsibility.

Some one has said truly that respon-
sibility walks hand in hand with ca
pacity and power. Little is expected
of the incapable. The very mention
of duty. task. responsibility weighs
like burden upon the minds of weak
men and women. Every one must
have met men of good parts who will
sedulously dodge anything like re-
sponsibility. They shun everything
like responsibility though high re-
wards may be offered. The mere
thought Of being held to strict account
ability dismays them, and no remuner-
alton and no honor are great enough
to tempt them to leave the pleasant
ways of peace to undertake course
which involves contention or strife, or
even serious prolonged attention.

Another Role.

Speaking about game tenderfeet,"
drawled Amber Pete as he skinned a
cinnamon bear, reminds me that the
Human Pincushion in the circus side
show was the gamest that ever hit
this settlement"
Game, eh?" echoed the advance
agent for the Mastodon Minstrel show.
Wall, l should smile. The boys
told him if he didn't make good as
the Human Pincushion' they were go
ing to shoot him full of holes at the
first performance"
And was he frightened?"
Not bit, pardner. He said if they
shot him full of holes he'd do away
with the Human Pincushion' heading
and bill himself as the Human Porous

KEPT UP FIRE OF COMMENTS.
Duke of Cambridge Took Lively In.

The late DR.. William NJ. Stonehill,"
said college settlement worker Of
New York was called the bishop Of
the Bowery. 1t was a title of at
lection. The Bowery loved this good
man
He sometimes used to laugh over
the naivete of his Bowery audiences.
He used to say that in their frequent
audible comments on his sermons
they reminded him of the famous duke
of Cambridge-the old duke, you
know
From his great pew the duke rum
bled out all sorts of remarks and
criticisms every Sunday morning. 1t

Nervousness.

Nervousness is often due to some
poison formed in the blood by the de-
composition of undigested food-in
other words. often arises primarily
from Indigestion
Nervousness when due to this cause
may sometimes continue through
many years without causing danger
Gus conditions. On the other hand
nervous disturbances due to this auto
intoxication or self-poisoning may be
Immediately fatal.
Many people, however, suffer from
nervous indigestion" as they call it,
for 20 years or more without fatal ter
mination. In these cases there is Of
course a gradual weakening of the
general system which predisposes to
many diseases, and death is always
premature, usually being traceable to
what is called heart failure Health

PEASANTS OF SOUTHERN ITALY.
Bear Burden Of Poverty with Resigna
tIon and Fortitude.

During three months spent in the
southern Italian provinces, l saw
enough to make me wonder why the
people have borne the burden so long.
In several of the towns through which
| passed there were pointed out to me
caves cut into the solid rocks of the
hillside where people are living. In
one such cave house in Sell, Sicily,
there was rough bed on one side
of the cave, on the other an oil press
turned by donkey. Often have seen
houses whose walls were constructed
of brush and mud and the roofs made
OF rough tiles or matched with straw.
The peasant has been most patient.
Naturally light-hearted and long-suf-
fering, he would cheerfully eat piece
of black bread and an onion for his
morning meal, corn-meal mush sea-
soned with little olive oil and bread
for dinner, boiled potatoes and piece
OF goats cheese with more black bread
at night; and then, at the close of his
humble repast, stoop down and touch
the ground with his hand and kissing
1t, thank God for his favors. In some
OF the remoter towns the simpler
minded people continue to do so. But
contentment under such conditions
could exist only so long as there was
no contact with the outside world.
Whether the land-holders desire it or
not, progress is bound to come.-An-
tonic Mangano, in Charities and The
Commons

Snake OPAL Lucky.

A snake opal must be an invalu.
able possession. 1t is the lucky
stone of the Mojave Indians, who say
t frightens away bad luck The stone
is not beautiful, but might appeal to
those who like gems" that are

dams never allow these stones to
leave the tribe if they can help it,
and will not part with one for any
consideration. Tradition has made
the stone one of good omen, but that
counts for little, as tradition is gen.
orally hooted at in the present day,
and wherever it raises it's head other
stones than snake opals are SHE'D

bridge player, however, will try to
get hold of snake opal and try its

ARE LEARNING TO DRINK MILK,
Only Lately Have the Japanese Even
Tolerated the Beverage.

Japan is learning to drink milk A
japanese newspaper says of the phe-
nomenon: There was time when
milk was regarded in Japan with the
same adherence as cheese is in
China, especially the pungent and
strong-smelling variety. Recent statis-
tics, however, show that time has
worked great change in this respect
and milk and butter are now in great
favor in Japan. Whereas 25 years ago
not more than one or two per cent
of the persons visiting European
restaurant or eating European meal
at friends home, would have thought
Of touching butter, fully 40 or so per
cent. now eat 1t with a relish They
are, however, quite content to do
without it,
LAS to dairy farms, they have in
creased notably in recent years. Thirty
or 40 years ago milk was abhorred
The average Japanese could not in
duce himself to drink 1t. But to-day
many a household consumes one or
two bottles of milk daily, partly be
cause people have come to like it and
partly because the doctors have recon.
mended it as a unique and wholesome
beverage.
Milk halls too, are now quite
numerous. Butter will probably take
much longer to come widely into
vogue, because of its expensiveness.
A pound of fresh butter costs at least
one yen (49.S cents gold) in Tokyo to-
day. an extremely high price for

Be Ready for Your Luck.

The mistake which the generality of
people make is in not being ready for
their luck when 1t comes. While they
are still considering its possibilities,
1t is up the chimney and down the
next street. The really lucky people
are those who lie in wait for their
luck and seize it, and cling to it till
the moment when the sleeping Furies
awake and, hurting themselves on
them snatch 1t out of their hand To

Lightning's Freaks

Lightning struck the chimney on
the |. .. Q. f. hall Sunday night, in
iuring it so that it will have to be
rebuilt. The bolt divided at the
lower end of the hue, passing out
right and left thru the sides of the
house and one part descended down
the stove and thru the floor into the
ground. Agent Patty promptly
came from Extra and, reviewing the
work done by the lightning, ordered
the chimney rebuilt and all other
repairs made caused by the bolt.
