develop into practical shape and set
tie the difficulty tremendously and
justly. The source of this idea will
puzzle him. Whence came it? 1t did
not seem to have come from expert
ence, nor from the chambers of his
brain. 1t was like an inspiration, and
its source he cannot tell.
What practical value it would be to
hold the key to this mysterious vault
and unlock such thoughts at will The
source of this wisdom, this unfailing
reservoir, is ever within your reach.
The simple truths which our Master
taught, so long hidden and misunder-
stood, are at last disclosed practically
and demonstrably through Christian
Science, and are set before you as a
feast of strength and power
Will you partake of it? or will you
be content to remain in the darkness
and inharmony OF mortal thought, per-
chance allowing your more progressive
rfeighbor to pass you?
What is the magnet which attracts
trade from all channels to the most
successful business men? Is 1t not
their integrity; or, in other words,
their conception of Truth, which they
hold aloft as a trademark of superior
merit, and which includes honesty,
courage. and application? All these are
revealed, simplified and encouraged by
Christian Science. 1t is applicable alike
to employer and employee. the clerk,
salesman, mechanic or workman in any
capacity.
The discordant elements of all BUSH
ness (no matter what its nature), viz:
sickness, fear, anxiety, doubt, envy,
hatred, selfishness and avarice, can all
be overcome and mastered by this
higher understanding; not by human
will power. but by the practical under
standing that there is really but One

men can honestly deny, which is the
sole cause of the great majority of fall
ures in the business world? You may
not know that lack of strength and
power is responsible, but nevertheless
this is a fact. and scientific one.
Now, let us talk frankly and hon
estly, as one business man to another.
1t is to the younger business men that
these remarks are chiefly addressed.
1t is hidden power of thought, strength
and supply of ideas, healthy mind and
body, which all business men must
possess; for in proportion as they COM
mand them they find them of more
real value as capital and operating
force than gold or silver. In proof of
this statement we have much actual
experience of most practical kind, and

Mind is mans to draw from and exc

just so surely as 1t is true that "as a
man thinketh, so Is he" so surely can
business man bring out harmony in
his business life, where formerly there
was discord and unrest.
Like RudderIess Ship
And not only in his business can this
be done. The influence and power of
Divine Mind he can carry into every
channel of his life, and particularly his
home and family, transforming what
may heretofore have been a condition
of friction and unhappiness and sick
ness into harmony, peace and health.

to your sincere desire and application,
to imbibe this Wisdom, and to under

and they pass him by. He neither has their consideration nor their
encouragement in any marked degree.
But let come an attack upon his good name, let some one start a
scandal, and how quickly he comes into notice. They can hardly rest
in the desire to tell all they know and find out what others know.
And then it is an additional pleasure to tell how they expected just
such a thing; how they had always had their suspicious that he was bad
how they take great pleasure in repeating all they know, all they have
heard, all they have surmised, and what Others have conjured up. How
greatly they are pleased at even seeming corroboration of the scandal
how readily they believe it, and upon what trivial evidence. How the
story grows in magnitude and vruence with each repetition until a
fellow man, and perhaps a bameess man, is ruined, his heart broken,
his wife and children disgraced and in bitter mourning. All this they
see and hear, but in their love for scandal they overlook it all and in
their ghouish ghe rejoice at this tearing down of a character and repu-
tation.
Perhaps this particular scandal turns out to be false, and if it is
proved false by evidence that cannot be disputed, what a feeling of dis
appointment sezes this choice collection of slanderers. Their dnsappont-
ment is heavy and great. Then these cowardly, sneaking human vam-
pTes Immediately begin to trim their sails. They are the first to con-
graduate the slandered person upon his ~vindcadon. A person who will
SANDER another is none too low to stoop to the basest hypricosy.

Electric Railway slonaIs,

The Great Western railway In Eng.
land is experimenting with a promis-
ing form of electric signals for the
prevention Of accidents in fogs and
storms, The apparatus consists of an
iron rail placed halfway between the
regular rails and connected electrical
ly with the semaphores controlling
switches: and OF an electric bell and
a whistle, carried in the cab Of the
locomotive, and sctuated by contact
with the electric rail as the train
passes over it. The middle rail is
elevated at a certain height when the
semaphores are. turned to indicate
safety, and at a greater height
when they indicate danger. In
the first case, when the loco
motive comes in contact, the bell
rings in the cab, and the engineer
knows that the way is free; In the
second case, the whistle blows in the
cab TO indicate danger.

New York.-There was little pros.
pect 30 years ago of the discovery Of
a genuine wild horse. There are. to
be sure, the so-called wild horses
OF the Americas, but they are the de-
scendants OF horses that the Span.
ards brought to the western world
some centuries ago. While evidence
existed that wild horses were prob.
ably as abundant in prehistoric times
In the south of Europe as zebras are
today In British East Africa. most
naturalists believed that true wild
horses with an unbroken line Of wild
ancestry were extinct.
Then, in 1879. the Russian explorer
PrJevalsky reported that he had dis
a new and quite distinct
horse In the Cobb desert to the west
of Mongolia. Two years later Poliakof
published a description of the horse
to which he gave the name Equus
prjevalskii. Then the brothers Grum.
Grjimailo saw the horses In the des.
ert and learned many new facts about
them.
The Russians were greatly interest.
ed, and 1t was decided to capture a
number Of the animals and bring them
TO Europe. These efforts were sue.
cessful. and five years ago a herd of
about 30 Of the P~rjevalsky horses.
after no end of trouble, were landed
in Europe. Most of them are still
in Russia, but a few were taken to
England, where they are kept on
the estate OF the duke of Bedford.
The English naturalists did not
make a scientific study of the animals
In that country because the Russians
have had a most thorough inyestiga-
ton in progress, with the advantage |
that nearly all the captive horses and
a number of skeletons are In their
hands. Very few of the English nat
uralists believed that they were true
wild horses. but looked upon them
either as a kiang, hybrid. the kiang
being a species of the ass, or as
the offspring of escaped Mongol
ponies.
The Russians. however, have set.
tied the question. They have proved
by the methods Of comparative anato.
my and in other ways that the Prize.
valsky horse has no relationship with
Mongol ponies or the kiang but is a

BOAST OF OUR CONTINENT.
America Has the Worlds Supply Of
hummlne Birds.

Though the art museums Of Europe
may have some treasures OF which
America cannot boast, u continent
has the distinction of a. monopoly Of
the worlds supply of humming birds,
the gems of all the feathered creation.
OF these there are said to be some 400
species-the 400 we may call them!-
nearly all of which are peculiar to the
tropical regions. Only IS cross the
borders of the United States from
Mexico, and occur only In our south
western states.
The popular idea is that the hum.
mer lives only on honey, gathered
from flowers. This is a mistake. The
bird does secure some honey, but its
food consists mainly Of the small in
sects which frequent the flowers. Some
Of these insects are injurious to the
blossom, and the tiny bird fulhlls a
useful function In destroying them.
That the hummer is insectivorous is
also shown by It's habit Of catching
tiny insects IN the wing, which 10
occasionally observed.-H. X. Job, In

do not agree, or that they are in many respects even antagonsic, does
not seem to disturb these men. Both standards re apparently thought
to be ~needed-One for life in the world of business or politics, and the
other for death, and what may possibly come afterwards.
There could be no greater falaoy than this. Not only is a double
standard Of life for earth and heaven unnecessary, but the life that is not
fiji for one is not fit for the other, and the life that is most fit for one is
most fit for the other.
What then is the character of this life whose results are most salts
factory and which therefore is most successful? We can easily see what
il is not. 1t is not a life given to the satisfaction Of passions and appe-
tncs. 1t is not a life whose chief ends are amusements and recreations.
1t is not a life Of feyensh anxiety and unrest. Above all, it is not a self
ih scramble for wealth, power or fame. The attainment Of none of these
ends Of life can bring the desired success.
What then is left for the earnest seeker Of true success? In the
first place, the spirit of love or service should dominate the life of all.
In the second place, the true dignity and worth of useful work should
be recognMed-work Of the hands as well as Of the head. When men
come to see that devoted service in some useful calling, of whatever kind
it be, is the highest form of ~neighborly love as well as the most effective
means of genuine happiness, they will have gone a long way toward set
Ting the question Of success. A life controlled by these ideals, under
conditions Of ordinary health and efficiency, must be acknowledged to b
both reasonable and right for this or any %.
other wohd, and therefore most successful. JsH-V s~-
