To be conquered by himself is, of all

qualification In them, but anger has none.

torment

do those we love by our giving way to a
storm Of passion which. when il has
cleared away, leaves only the bitterness
OF regret.

Self-control Is the one great virtue We
must ell learn TO cultivate IL we would
not be shipwrecked on the voyage Of
life. When we are masters OF ourselves
we will then be able TO meet any and
every emergency with that clear. cool
Judgment hour OF resistance.
In fact the only real happiness and
satisfaction we get out OF life Is the
result of self-control It is the guardian
Of our virtues. without which none Of

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

believe that II somebody could invent
unique ways of saving money the public
would have an assured future. Men,
women, and children would regard saving
as game and play it with all their
heart There are penny savings banks
where newsbOys and boOtblacks carry
their tiny savings. but other children re-
gard their penny banks at home with un-
friendly eyes. There are working girls
who put away their scent pieces and
fatten their small bank accounts by walk
ing instead or riding and making other
petty sacrifices. But the majority Of
working girls spend as fast as they earn
and declare that they cannot help 1t.

career by regarding every dollar as a
worker and getting all the profit he could,

showing.
You probably remember the story I
told about the sister OF a popular phys-
clan who went through his pockets each
night and took what she wanted without
being even suspected. He told me. the
other day. that the incident made so
deep an impression upon him that he
used the sum as a nucleus and had cul-
tiyated the habit Of saving something
each day. After he married he placed
that sum to the credit OF his wife and
thereby found a stronger incentive to
save He said that there was certain
zest in wondering how much he could
spare the next day.
Children ought to be an incentive to
saving in any family. It Is a fine thing

Electricity.

1t Is an oft-quoted remark that IL George
Washington could come back to earth In
this latter year OF grace and see the
changes which have been wrought by
science and especially by electricity In our
mode Of living, he would not believe his
eyes. The telephone. telegraph, wireless.
arc lights, trolley cars and a thousand other
inventions would give the conservative old
gentleman a start which would probably
send him back to his grave again.
But II II is true that all these innova-
tions have made changes which really
amount to revolutions In the life of the
nation, especially in commercial life. and
have made possible the growth Of gigantic
cities such as the father Of his country
never even dreamed of, it Is equally true
that II his famous wife, Martha Washing
ton, could likewis be permitted again to
visit mother earth, and should investigate
modern American home life, she would be
equally dumfounded by the many epoch
making changes which nave taken place In
the lives of the women of the land and in
the arrangements and conveniences Of the
modern home.
The first of the First Ladies of the land
had at Mount Vernon a home which was
equal to any in America at that time, but

mercial advantage far beyond all expecta-
tons and will without doubt increase its
utility when secrecy Of the messages can
be better preserved. According to present
indications this is a matter of but limited
experiments and wireless telegraphy will
go into history as the chief accomplish
ment of the first decade of the twentieth
century.
In the wire telegraph the last couple of
years ave developed an invention which,
although undressing to the public, will
play its large part and stands as a credit
TO the ingenuity OF it's inventor. This is
the Barcley printer. To describe this ma
chine it might be termed an electrically
operated typewriter with the keyboard To-
Gated, for instance, in Chicago, and the
Typewriter part, say, in Omaha, the two
being connected by a wire. An operator
manipulating the keyboard in Chicago
causes the typewriter In Omaha to pro-
duce a printed message on a regular tele-
graph blank, ready for delivery to the
addressee, The introduction OF this in
vention makes II possible to transmit over
one wire as many messages as ormerly
required three direct wires.
The up-to-date electrical engineer does
not find much difficulty in keeping track
OF the various Inventions or new features
in the field Of electricity. But where he
frequently finds himself in a dilemma Is
in keeping posted on the kinds of current
suitable for the various purposes and the
different laws which govern them.
As an electrical inspector, / desire to
say, in closing, that It is well for the
public to understand that all service per-
formed by electricity is not possible with
one kind Of current. In order, therefore,
to accomplish the many and various re-
suits which electricity is called upon to
produce. It is necessary 10 generate or Sc
cure the particular kind of current ca
pable Of producing the results sought.
Therefore, when laws and rules for the
safe installation OF electric wires are
changed from time TO time IL is not be-
cause the authorities change their minds,
but simply TO provide adequate protection
against new conditions brought about by
the rapid and constant evolution OF cleo
tricity. wALDEMAR MICHAEIsEN,

when she wanted supplies OF any sort, there
was no telephone with which to call for
them. When night came there was no
simple turning of a button to flood the
house with light. There were only candles
and these were made on the premises.
Even a modern steel kitchen range had not
been thought Of, and IL some prophetic
soul had told the historic Martha that the
time would come when q breakfast could be
cooked in twenty minutes without flame,
smoke or odor she would have thought the

Yet such is the progress which has
been made in adapting electricity to the
convenience of the home that the things
mentioned nave come to be regarded as
among the A b Cs of housekeeping and
are thought no more wonderful thai
looking at a watch for the time OF day.
The modern home equipped, as II may
easily be, with all the conveniences and
labor-saying devices of electricity, is a
veritahle house of marvels, and things
are done every day which a few CEN
turtles ago would nave been attributed TO
miraculous interference or witchcraft and
would have subjected the owner to grave
danger of a trial for connivance with his
satanic majesty.
Such homes are becoming more numer-
GUS every year and a visit to one of
them is well worth the time and trouble.
Even before the house Is approached,
IL it be at night, the number may be
seen, fixed In a transparency n lighted
with a small electric bulb which makes
1t possible for the visitor to locate the
place without trouble. At the door is
the button, which when pushed causes
an electric current to ring a bell and
bring ready admittance.
Inside the hall more of the conven-
fences Of electricity become apparent.
Instead of the old-fashioned hanging
lamp, cumbersome and dangerous. frosted
bulbs are set in the ceiling inc give q
subdued light, grateful to the eye. A
button near the front door controls these
SO that they may be lighted the moment

lights in the various rooms are also con-
trolled by switche s in the hall, and II It is
so desired other switches may be placed
both upstairs and down and another but
ton may be placed near the bed so that
the house may be lighted at any hour OF
the night.
In the hall II will DO also noticed that
no wires are visible and that aver the
