He has discoy- cred that his own commission ov ,r life, over the happiness and health and the fruitage of the life that now is, as well as of that which is to come, is a vastly larger commits sion than the world hitherto has dreamed of. He is finding out that Providence is a partnership and that no man may be a sleeping partner in the business of living without the penalty of losing the very thing that life is-a world of potencies converted into achieve ment
 This is the note, surely, as civi- lization faces the year 1910-the note of competency, the sense of added powers to life, the feeling that the greater things are coming on the earth. and that man is us- ing the key to unlock the treasure house of his own life with a sure ness and wisdom that give prom ise of a vastly better, richer. ulster universe than he has yet known.

Another note of our time is the fact that life mirrors itself in such a wonderful way and the things and forces that make for the bet ter day to be are known and read of all men. We live in the open. and no man may become champion of any cause and keep the world in ignorance of the character of the cause and the nature of his cham pionship. No man today may hide his light under a bushel. It is a tell-tale world, and, more than any past time, the world to-day has ulster sense of values and knows both the things that are saving it and the things also that threaten and endanger it. Public service was never so responsible as it is to-day, because civilization never had the almost miraculous power of analyzing and testing the value of public service as in this present year Public life is an open book. and the most impossible of all i'm possible things today is that any national or international movement should be misunderstood or misin. terpreted by the worlds best mind And what is true of public move ments is true of public men.

Consequently he knew that he might
be wrong In dotting the is and crossing
the It's of the scene which he had wit
messed. Such a scene might mean no
more than a burst of high spirits; in
nine cases out of 10 it would not be
followed by action, nor import more
than that singing of Twas a. For Our
Rightful King!" which had startled
him on his arrival. In that house, in

not be expected. The wrongs of the
nation were too recent, the high seas
were too near. the wild geese came and
went too freeiy-wild geese Of another
feather than his. Such outbursts as
he had witnessed were no more than
the safety valves of outraged pride.
Colonel John leaned upon such ar
guments; and, disappointed and alarm
ed as he was by Flavia's behavior, he
told himself that nothing was seriously
meant, n that with the morning light
things would look more cheerful.
But when he awoke, after a feverish

dawn that entered the room was not
of a character to inspirit. He turned
on his side to sleep again; but in the

chair, OF his hat clinging like some
blackbat to the whitewashed wall, of
his valise and saddle bags in the-ccr-

Tungsten in Electric lighting.

The fusing point OF tungsten i2Asa

other known metal. which enables Ii to
operate at the very high efficiency oh

laws of incandescent light Is that the

ago tungsten was KNOWN only in
laboratories, and then only in a very
impure state and on account OF its
rarity the price vas very high. But
latter day prospecting has resulted in
the fnding OF a bodies or the ore.
and the price has eorrespondingly
dropped to about 81 a pound. 1t would

ATTRACTED
BY SENSE OF SMELL
Eyesight Is Poor, and Food IL
Traced Through Odors
Solely.
From Mcclure's.


Speaking rashly, there are no flies IN
England; at least, there are SO few that
the inhabitants do not think 1t worth
while to screen their dwellings. The
reason is the simplest--the tight little
Island Is kept clean. Fifty years ago
flies were a nuisance in England;
though not the plague they are here,
for no other really civilized country
was ever quite as dirty as the United
States Of America. This nuisance Is
pretty completely abated. In 80 years
England has been swept and garnlshed
and the flies have starved.
The fly has but n supreme motive
In life, and that is-to move toward
the strongest smell. He enters tina
house because there are more smells
inside thar out, inc one in he fire.
quents the kitchen because there are
more smells there than in the parlor.
The fly does not find it's o by sight,
but by odor only. In fact the f1y's sight
is extremely poor; for nature has never
solved the optical problem OF makin a
small eye see as clearly as a large one.
The customary swarm of flies around
the kitchen door means only that the
kitchen windows are opened at h bot
tom, and since the top of the door Is
the highest opening In the room, that,
rather than one Of the windows. Is
carrying the outdrafr and the smell of
yesterdays soup. The moral is, adjust
the ventilation so that the out-draft
shall be through a screened window.
No fly will ever see a door open n
deliberately fly in.
For the same reason, all unused CHM
heys connected with f~ireplaces ought to
be screened just as carefully as the
windows. In the cool weather of early
fall when the flies are worst, the Chin
ney draft is usually outward. The fly
never hunts for an opening to come in
by; but he does head upstream to an
air current which bears the SAVIOR of the
most human foods. Therefore, when
the air of a home goes out Of a chin
ney the fly comes in.

No" he said soberly; he was even
a little out Of countenance.

Possibly this last was a hint, cum
ningly yelled. AT any rate, The Nc
Murrough took his seat again with a
better grace than usual, and Asgill
made haste to take up the talk. The
Colonel reflected; nor did he find 1t the
least odd thing that Flavia, who had
been SO full of distress at the loss of
her mare, said little of the rescuer's
adventures. nor much of the mare her
self. Yet the girls whole aspect was
changed In the last hour. She seemed,
as far as he could judge, to be in a state
of the utmost excitement; she had
shaken of the timidity which her
brothers temper too often imposed on
her, and with it her shyness before
strangers. All the Irish humor in her
fluttered to the surface, and her tongue
rang with an incredible gayety. Uncle
Ulick, the O'Beirnes, the buckeens,
laughed frank OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
at remarks which the Colonel could not
understand. sometimes at more obvious
witticisms. Asgill was her slave.
