BREAD ON THE WATERS.
Recompense, Just Like in the
Stories and Plays.

From Success Magazine.
A Cleveland paper tells Of tramp who
came to the back door of a residence and
begged for shoes. The mistress OF tbs
house gave him good pair and said to
him: There, put these on. and II you
want to show your gratitude. just happen
around here some morning after snow
storm and clean off our sidewalk"
Some time after the lady was awakened
early one morning by some one scraping
the sidewalk in front OF the house Loox-
ing out, she found that there had been
quite heavy fall Of snow. and there she
beheld the tramp to wnom she had given
the shoes, clearing away the snow from
the sidewalk with an old broken shovel.
When he caught sight of his benefactress
at the window he raised his tattered hat
to her, and, his self-mpOsed task finished.
went away without saying word or even
asking for anything to eat. Three times
the same thing happened during the win
ter, but the man never asked for compen-
sation or food.
A New York woman once invited rag
ged. dirty beggar into her house, and after
he had had comfortable meal and some
clean clothing she sent him away with
words of encouragement, telling him that
he was made for something better than
tramping; that 1t was shame for max
Of his apparent intelligence and good
health to be getting a living in such a
disgraceful way.
This lady became embarrassed financial
ly and was In sore need of money. She
asked a friend where she could borrow
$500, but he could not accommodate her.
nor did he know of any one who could.
Next day, to her great establishment, a
man, a total stranger. as she thought.
called at her house and told her that he
had heard she was pressed for money. and
that he had come to lend her the amount
she needed. With growing surprise she
asked how 1t was that complete stranger,
whom she had never seen, was willing to
trust her The man then explained that
he was the tramp whom, a year before,
she had taken to her home and treated
like a brother; that her kindness on that
occasion had been the turning point In his
career, had made a man Of him again:
that he had prospered beyond his deserts.
and that ever since he had gotten on his
feet he had been wishing for an oppor-
tunity to show his appreciation of what
she had done for him.

ORIENTALS ENCOURAGED.
Effect of the Russian Defeat by
Japan's Armies.

Saint Nibal Singh. in the Southern Workman.
The defeat at arms OF the Russians by
the Japanese gave a self-faith and self
respect to the oriental which he never
before knew 1t dispelled the hallucina-
ton OF self-limitation: it opened visions
Of what the yellow and brown races
could accomplish. Each victory that the
Japanese won. each humiliation the Rus

shackles which had kept the dark-skin-
ned nations Of the orient chained to the
pillars of prejudice and reaction. When

which ended a bloody war, the dawn Of
a renaissance had resplendently crimsoned
the political horizon of every Asiatic
country. China was disturbed from its
hamilton of ages: India became q social
and political volcano: Persia and Turkey
both became the storm centers of gov
ernmental change.
In the success which the Japanese par
lament had achieved during its many
wears Of tenure there was a lesson for
all Asia to transform the governmental
machinery according to the spirit of our
times, which doubtless Is strongly demo-
cratic in character but the popular ele-
ment had been introduced into the Japa-
nese administration without any ado. The
mikado had given up his absolutism bit
rian battlefield was needed to publish
the news Of the japanese political revolu-
ton to the orientaIs The Russo-Japanese
war turned the spotlight of investigation
upon the causes that had contributed to
the success of the Asian islanders. At
the root of them all, the fasteners learn
ed. was the democratic attitude that the
present mikado displayed in training his
subjects to exercise their fnalienable
birthright of self-government as opposed
to being governed like dumb beasts Once
the nations OF Asia discovered this, all OF
them became eager for political change
for change from absolute despotism to
limited monarchy or repubiicanism.

"The Power of Beauty"
from the Strand Magazine


"A beautiful woman, beautiful rose
and a beautiful sunset are the mys-
teries Of life for which one would gladly
live life again." So wrote Heine; and we
who recognize that these mysteries arc
ever about us-of daily occurrence in our
lives-feel, too. that 1t IS only the super
lative Of which the poet spoke and
which we admire. Beauty In woman is
often only q phrase-a mere courtesy
quality as 1t were-and in this the COM
parative sense beautiful women are as
plentiful as good women or clever woul-
en-. But the real beauty-perfection OF
form and feature and coloring. and
every wondrous attribute In woman that
ever shared Apollo"-is only seen In one
among million. Such beauty is power.
The world cannot resist It; such beauty.
though the. possessor be OF lowly birth.
can move onward and upward. without
other influence, without brains, even
without breeding, to fame and wealth and
high estate.

Edison Learns What Not to Do.

From the BoOKkeepef
Mr. Edison is also still busy with his
new storage battery which, he claims.
will solve the traction question. This,
too, has been scoffed at rom the be-
ginning; it is long time since Mr.
Edison began investigation In this direc-
ton. but when a successful portable
method of storing electricity is developed
another industrial revolution will be ac-
compished. This leads up to the point TO
which special attention is directed. In his
experiments with these batteries Mr..
Edison has had men at work for years
with a patience unpar alleled. More than
a half ton of reports on experiments with
batteries have been made Two OF his
best men had to give up the work be-
cause of its amending monotony to save
themselves from nervous breakdown. The
work was continued night and day for
more than three years. and more than
5000 experiments were made without OBJ
tanning the results which Mr.. Edison
wanted. A visitor to whom this was told.
exclaimed: Then all those experiments
were practically wasted" Mot at all"
said Mr.. Edison: Il now know 5000
things not to do''-all of which indicates
that 1t Is as important to know what not
to dc as what to do.

KEEPS WINDOWS CLEAR.
Ventilator Spreads Cold Air on
Glass, Preventing Frosting.

During prolonged cold spells in winter
a great deal of annoyance is caused shop
keepers by the accumulation of frost on
the inside of their windows. thus obscur-
ing their view. This is the result of the
condensation and freezing of the warm
air from the store when it comes into
contact with the cold window. A Penn
sylvania man has invented a ventlatne
device which solves this difficulty Holes

it speedily converts the objects into
shreds. In most cases chopping knives
are made with single, or at best. double
blades 1t will be readily seen that a
circular blade will do much more work
than one or two straight ones. Another
use for this cutter is fin cutting the dough
for doughnuts, cookies or other circular
cakes. though In ordinary round cakes
the inside ring will form the cake while
the hoop of dough that Is left can either
be baked into a hoop Of cake or the left
over dough can be rolled again and the
cutting continued till all is used up, as
is usually done.
