that when he found the man,
there was no pulse, but that the body
was still warm Some ladies were
called. who at once telephoned to

and doubtless the answer is IN abe
book somewhere if they can only find
it.
The practice of resolving presents
similar aspect 1t is not entirely
perfect at present. But considering
the few years since Adam inaugurated
the outdoor sleeping fad and became
grandpa to the human race it is not
surprising that some details are still
to be worked out. The forming of the
resolution has been beautifully work
ed out, till almost any one. tke merest
novice, can resolve. The date, too,
has been firmly fixed as on the first
of January The chief difficulty that
still remains has to do with keeping
the resolution once it is made. Some
thing like keeping your aeropiane
right side UP once you have estab-
lished a neighborly relation with the
stars.
Probably several years will elapse
before the custom of resolving
reaches perfection and in the mean
time it might be well to adopt
makeshift for the present unattain-
able.
1t would seem as if the difficulty
might be minimized by more attention
to the subjects taken for resolving
purposes. 1t is well to use care in Sc
lecting our resolutions, and because
of the proximity of January 1, few
suggestions may not be out of place.
For a young woman-Try this one
'I hereby resolve with earnestness to
no longer insist on grandma wearing
French heels" There are several adj
vantageous features to this resolution
To begin with it is humane. just
think of forcing the poor old lady to
teeter down the street with little
church steeples under her sole leath-
er, sIer silver locks bob under her
dignified black bonnet and at every
painful step she whispers Ouch" File

upon youI Shameyi Remember
grandma is not SO young as she once
was and the penitential efficiency of
bunion is greatly enhanced by the
showing forward of the foot as accom-
pl1shed by the French heel. Command
the old lady to do a cake-walk once
an hour around the dining room table
if you will, but let her do it in com
Portable shoes. Another item in favor
of trying this resolution is the fact
that you have probably never asked
grandma to wear any kind of shoes
she didn't like, so it should be that
much easier to keep to your resolu-
ton not to do so.
For a young mani resolve from
this day never again to smoke a pipe
in church. This sample is highly
recommended. The practice against
which you issue the edict of Danish
ment is reprehensible in the highest
degree. Smoking, while of course it,
might be solace to you during the
sermon, could not but annoy your
neighbors and fellow worshipers. The
men envy you, leading to countless
domestic difficulties for them. The
preacher is unable to see whether all
the deacons are awake or not by the
as a distinguished statesman once of
ficially declared that the odor of
cigarettes annoyed him there are
those to whom the smell of a pipe is
nuisance and the offertory collector
might be one of these. Besides, you
would probably be thrown out or ar
rested or something.
For men who ride much in street
nor "honnnfnrfh 7 xui1I or

siderable care-but if strictly adhered
to will be found of great assistance in
your daily life When depending from

neighbours long stiff quill suddenly
Jabs you in the nose giving to that fea-
ture the rich red that which another
class of resolvists have already &C
quired, do not release your temper.
Smile and pretend you like it. Oft
times you can make yourself believe
it, after due practice, of course. But
the principal advantage to be cited in
this resolution's favor is that you
might just as WE'LL. So long as the
fashion remains the same you will
have your daily communion with the
tail feathers of an ostrich or of
rooster and If you resolve not to mind,
how much more placid the temper,
For any one who does not raise

GOOD WORK is LOVED WORK
And Therein One Should Find the
Contentment That Is Chief
Part of Life.

If man doesn't love his work, he
had better get something else to do
But the trouble is that such people
will hardly love any kind of work
The trouble is in them. They lack
intelligence If they knew enough
to know good work, they would soon
learn to love it. The manual-train-
ing scheme has this in yiew-to sur
round the job a man is doing with
such intelligence and taste as will
make it attractive to him.
THE man who is in love with his
job gets more contentment out of life
than any other says Brander Mat
thews; and he gets a great part of his
contentment in doing his work right.
No man can love his work who shirks-
No man can be contented who is dis
honest about his work. This is shirk-
ing or doing it negligently. So these
things always go together-honest
work, contentment and love of the job

Manchester, Eng.-A 22-ton railway
car, 40 feet long, Is feet high and 10
feet wide, mounted not on regular
trucks. but one single line of four
wheels. with not a support but that
line of wheels. That's the first thing
to picture Then put 40 passengers
inside the car and run the whole COM
bination around on a single rail at 25
miles or more an hour, and you have
the spectacle that was presented be-
fore the Royal Society of England sew
eral days ago on the war Office
grounds near Chatham. 1t was the
first public demonstration of the full
sized working model of the new gy-
roscope car, first made public before
the Royal society on May s, 1907. by
it, inventor, Louis Brennan, c. B.
The demonstration was successful
even beyond expectation. The car
ran smoothly and without vibration.
taking curves and Irregularities in
tho track with perfect safety and abb
solute stability, loaded or empty, fast
or SLOW There never was the least
tendency on the part of the car to
leave the rail, so perfect was the gyro-
scope control. Two horoscopes were
used, weighing three-quar.ers of ton
each, and making 5000 revolutions a
minute in a vacuum A gasoline en-
CINE furnished the motive power
through the means of an electric dy-
Lamo. Mr. Brennan was overjoyed at
finding that the stability of the gyro-
scopic principle was even more
marked in a full-sized model than in
smaller one.
The principle. of the gyroscope is
that of a spinning top. Some thirty
years ago Mr.. Brennan, who was then
il Australia, be came beset with the
idea that this principle could be ap
piled to railroad construction and op
Grafton in a way which would revolu
tionize land transportation all over
the earth.

rallied track is also dangerous in that
it has safety limit of speed at about
seventy-two miles an hour, after
which spreading of rails and breaking
of wheel fanges become not only .sos-
sible, but probable, except in those
cases where the equipment is kept at
its highest state of perfection. 1t was
this that led to the development of the
monorail, single-railed overhead
track from which the cars were sus-
pended Not only was great deal of
friction thus overcome, but many of
lie common dangers were entirely
done away tt Nevertheless, the
suspended type of nor orail was not
2 -rfect. 1t had dangers of its oyn,
and besides this the cos. of construc-
ton was immense
1t was figured that if a single rail
could only be laid on the ground and
a car or train run over it railway con-
struction would almost be made per-
lection. With rall on the ground,
however. the center of gravity would
necessarily be above the line If sup
