DOING REMARK ABLE WORK

DR.. Sheldon Jackson, Uunted States general
agent of education in Alaska is attracting the
attention Of the world by the progress he has
made in his work. The educational standing
of the frigid territory was practically nil when
Dr. jackson took up his work there in 1885.
The population was naturally scattered, and
communication difficult. There was SEEM
ingly no demand for education, far as the
major portion of the populace concerned
and the trip of the intendant teacher to the field
OF his labOIs meant long journey among the
iceberSs by boat and then cross country move
ment by dog train. Consequently the demand
for positions teachers in that country was
modest

Love Of light is the greatest heri'
taee OF the human soul And since
primeyal man sat in the glow Of the
swapping camp ire, every age has
sought TO improve on the methods o.
dispelling the darkness between sun
down and sunrise,
As a rule, writer's Of history eondne
themselves TO the most important de
tails and events, and readers are too
prone TO associate 'he people OF the
past with the eonveniences Of the pre-.
sent.
Few realize that previous TO the in
vention Of the tallowdip, by King
Alfred. the interior Of the Saxon
castles and banquet halls in England
we're lighted with torches held in iron
sockets on the walls. OF course they
smoked and flickered, and II Is written
that the wind blew the sparks all over
the room, In ancient Rome and
Greece the torch was the standard
method Of illuminating buildings and
streets although lamps. burning IA,
from q rush wick, were extensively
used,
The advent Of gas lights was quick
ly overshadowed by the discovery OF
petroleum And then, after thousands
Of years Of cropping about in almost
absolute darkness. the electric light,
discovered only about a score OF
years ago, gave the nearest substitute
TO actual sunlight known to man.
Since then great strides have been
made in artificial lighting until only
a few days ago the scientists announc-
ed the new tungsten electric light,
which is predes,ined 10 revolutionize
electric lighting.
The light from the new tungsten in
candescent lamps is pure white and Is
closely allied 10 natural sunshine. II
is the first illuminant by which all
colors can be distinguished. Color Is
an ocular conception. Without light
there is no color, Red is red only be-
cause il has the quality OF absorbing
all other colors Of the spectrum and
rejecting the red rays, Artificial
lights in which the yellow, violet, or
red rays predominant cannot be used
to match colors. Under the clear
white light of the tungsten lamps
violet is not blue; pink is not red; and
blue is not black as when looked at
under any other kind OF artificial light.

BEATEN BEFORE HE BEGAN

Not long ago a young man came
into my office to solicit subscription
for a publication. could see at a
glance, before he had fairly introduc-
ed his subject, that he was covered
all over with defeat. His very attitude,
his manner, said to me, II have come
in here to get your subscription for
- -, but | do not expect to get it.
| know you are very busy man, and
! d not wish to take your time or to
impose upon you" This young man
did not come in with the assurance in
his manner that bespeaks victory. !
could see that he was really beaten
before he began.
Nobody likes the Uriah Heep kind
of solicitor who spends half his time
apologizing for taking your valuable
time.
The important thing for the solici-
tor is put the prospective customer
into such a position that it will not be
easy for him to turn him down.
He should have great confidence in
himself, and in the thing he has to
sell. He must carry conviction in
his manner. Hesitancy, doubt, in
decision are fatal Courage is as i'm
portant to solicitor as to an animal
tanner, who has to guard very care
fully against the slightest signs of
fear To hesitate in the cage of an
untamed lion or tiger is to be lost
Even if unable to get an order, So
licitor should win mans respect and
admiration. He should, by master
ly bearing, meet customers on a plane
of equality.
A friend of mine, shrewd business
man, says solicitor came to his Of
fee recently whose face was so ra-
diant with interest in his purpose,
and SO bubbling over with enthusiasm
that he won confidence and admira- !
ion at the very outset. My friend
gave the young man an order for
what he did not want, because he
liked him. !

Many think OF fun as frivolous, in

their children because they want to

These parents have yet to learn the
