Living Pictures.

Universal laziness, nihilism of
ideas, the desire to get vcry;hing
without trouble. in lands that the ;3ods
never traversed, have provoked living
pictures. Eclectic gentlemen have OBJ

peat in Connecticut.

The melting away Of the great ice
sheet left the surface of Connecticut
and on the adjacent country dotted
with innumerable lakes and pons many
of which have already become oblit-
Grated. One Of the processes which
have led to the disappearance of these
ponds is the accumulation of the de-
bris of vegetation. converting the
ponds into peat boys. The peat is not
only of great scientific interest. both
TO the geologist and to the b%ontanist,
but possesses considerable economic
importance, having uses as a fuel and
as a fertilizer and being capable also
incidentally of employment for various
other purposes. The localities of all
the important peat boys of the state
were visited, the area of those boys
was noted, their depth was determined
by a sounding apparatus, and samples
for analysis we're collected from vari-
ous depths.

NO COMPROMISE WITH TRUTH.
Absolute Sincerity in All Things
Marks Men Of Standing.

Sincerity is made up OF two words
sine and cere-sine, without, and
cere, wax; without wax. And it means
absolutely pure. transparent.
The human mind is constructed for
truth telling. This is its normal con
dition, and under the exercise of true
living and true thinking the character
becomes strong and robust.
Wilderness, completeness. comes into
the life from truth, from sincerity;
but the moment We attempt to twist
the mind into expressing deceit it be-.
comes abnormal and works all sorts
of harm to the character.
| have in mind a very brilliant
writer who exchanges his talent for
cash in political campaigns. He has
written some of the best campaign
documents for all politicai parties, but
the lack of sincerity in his character
SO discounts his personality and abil-
ity that he has no standing as a man.
He is recognized as a brilliant writer,
but as a man totally without conyie-
lions.
There is something in the mind IL
self which thrives upon sincerity and
which protests against all that is
false, against all sham. Nothing ever
quite satisfies this longing but abso-
lutte truth. The mind quickly becomes
sickly and weak when forced to ex-
press what is false.-Orison SWEET

Successful Business Man Must Have
Attribute Of Courage.


Many a man fails because he does
not dare TO take risks, to take the
initiative.
When do you expect TO do anything
distinctive in life? When do you ex-
pect to get out of the ranks of
~mediocrity? The men who do original
things are fearless. There is a lot of
dare in their makeup. a great deal Of
holiness. They are not afraid to take
chances, to shoulder responsibility, to
endure Inconvenience and privation.
There never was a time when the
quality of courage was so absolutely
Indispensable in the business world
as it is to-day. 1t does not matter
how many success qualities you pos
sess, young man, if you lack courage
you will never get anywhere. Not
even honesty or perseverance will
take its place. There is no substi-
tute for courage.
II does not matter how well edu-
Gated you may be, or how good a train
ing you may have had for your voca-
ton, II you are a hesitator, II you
lack that courage which dares to risk
all on your judgment. you will never
get above m%ediocrity.
The men who stani at the top Of
their line Of endeavor stand there be-
cause they have the courage of their
convictions. They had the courage
to climb, had the nerve to undertake
even against the advice OF others

spINs1ER WAS Halter OF MEN.
Even Refused Stamps and Coins That
Bore the Kings Head.

Miss Harriet Evans, an elderly
spinster on whom an inquest was held
at Hackney the other day, was said
TO have been a confirmed mar hater.
"She was so much against men that
she would not have a coin with the
kings head on it," her landlady said.
"If n was given to her she would
throw it into the fire. She would only
deal in money bearing Queen Victoria's
head"
Miss Evans went to the Office of a
local newspaper some time ago, but re.
fused to enter it until a woman was
sent TO transact business with her. An
advertisement for apartments which
she published stipulated that there
should be no man in the house. She
even declined TO receive letters be-
cause the stamps bore the kings head.
