HOW TO WIN POPULARITY
Surest Method Is to Be Interested in
The People One
Meets.

One of the surest methods of win.
the people one meets. Not a lip in
terest merely. but deep, actual in
terest that takes one out of ones self
and ones narrow circle and for the
moment places one In the midst of
another's sorrow or Joy and lets one
see life from her standpoint.
A girl who can listen sympathetical-
ly and with the real interest to the
details of another girls wardrobe and
the list of her admirers has the germ
Of universal popularity. already de-
veloped.
1t may seem trivial and tiresome
matter and she may feel conscious
all the time that she has far more
interesting things to tell, but, whether
or not she realizes 1t, she is laying
the foundation stone Of friendship.
Hearts. after all, are very much alike,
and each one has the craving for SYM
pathy securely planted in its depth.
But nothing irritates one more and
turns one from anothers personality
30 quickly as the simulated and insin-
cere interest which, eventually, is al
ways detected. The girl who says
with deep emotion and with the soft
pedal stop of apparent sympathy
turned on, MY dear. how dreadful"
to the condolences of a sickening
heart, and then hastens to break in
with some frivolous fact about her
self or her social engagements, is not
apt to win much affection, and GER
tainly not any lasting love.

to brighten the drearlest, most dIspir-
tied man or woman?
Did not man believe In q hereafter,

Even with ali our faith that deaden-

in wait for us at every obstacle in the
road. Did we not believe In what lies
on the other side, though unseen. We
would turn back like Pliable from our
miry Slough of Despond
Take away temporal hope from a
man, from a nation-what follows?
For the man discouragement, inertia,
despair, then uselessness; for the ma
ton disintegration. How much farth-
hopelessness that this rough earthly
path leads to eternal life.
Are we discouraged today? Have
the worries OF the money-troubled
winter hit US hard? Have we trials
that none but ourselves may know,
the more bitter that they must be
hidden? Are we bowed under a
weight of illness, OF morbid dread of
the future, that will not lift?
Let the joyous message of the Eas-
terrible bring healing. Hope is being
voiced on every side today, in the
swelling notes of the organ, in the
soaring voices of choir and chorister,
in the inspiring message that is pro-
claimed from every Christian pulpit
in the land. 1t but remains for us
to reach not for that hope and make
1t our own, to loosen the sordid, de-
pressing earth cords that have us
tightly bound.
The joyousness Of Easter. Alas. for
the woman who cannot feel 1t; who

Is it not something TO have stood on
the heights and sung aloud with the
JOY of living; to have seen the sun

All of Them Must Go Through q
Process of Tuning, Like Any
Musical instrument.

what a beautiful tone that bell
has" is often heard. There are few.
however, who know how a bell re-
ceives its joyful or solemn tones.
All bells after they are cast and
finished must go through a process
of tuning the same as any other
musical instrument before they re-
spond with a clear, true tone. Every
bell sounds five notes, which must
blend together In order to produce
perfect harmony.
The tuning Off bell Is done by
means of shaving thin bits from vari-
Gus parts of the metal It is as easy
for an expert bell-tuner to put q bell
in tune as 1t is for a piano-tuner to
adjust his instrument to perfect
chords.
At first thought 1t would seem that
bell would be ruined should the
tuner shave OF too much at the last
tuning, or the fifth sound. but such II
not the case. He would, however.
be obliged to begin afresh. starting
with the first one and and shaving
the bell until it gave forth its har-
mohtous sound at the fifth tone.

VALUE OF A STRONG MEMORY
Some Who Possess IL Are Not Other
wise Above the Ordinary Chill
'dren Learn Readily.

While strong memory is a great
convenience, it is not necessarily an
advantage.
Cardinal Mezzofanti. whose memory
for words was so retentive that he
never forgot one after hearing it once,
and which enabled him to acquire
more than a hundred languages, was
In most respects very ordinary per-
son. Pliny relates that Mithridates,
king of Pontus, had so excellent a
memory that he was able to speak
nuently % languages native to the
provinces of his vast empire. Yet he
was cruel barbarian.
A well-known peripatetic elocution-
ist and reciter still living declares
that he can repeat, without further
preparation, about 5000 selections in
prose and poetry. He probably tells
the truth, since he has been training
his mind in this particular direction
for many years.

EXPERIMENTS WITH SOUND
Blowing Out Candle With Tuning
Fork and Resonatcr-Sand Fig
ures on Metal Plates.

Reporting physics lecture by Prof.
sylvanius p. Thompson. the London
Chronicle says: "The youngsters who
attended were shown how a candle
could be blown out by sound. In the
first place, you want very powerful
tuning fork and q resonator Ca hollow
sphere of brass), which is exactly In
harmony with II. When the tuning
fork is struck it sets up waves Of
sound. The resopator, hearing the
note, Immediately responds with SYM
pathetic waves, which are strong
enough to blow out a candle placed
behind it. Other experiments were
the forming of what are known as
Chladni sand figures on plates Of
metal by the influence OF sound. The
most beautiful results, as Professor
Thompson explained, are obtained
with fat plates Of brass Of uniform
thickness and Of q low note. When q
bow is drawn along the edge so as to
set up vibrations In one part, there Is
discord with the vibrations Of the
other parts, and tho sound Immediate
ly assumes geometrical figures. The
greater the discord the better the pat
terms. Hundreds Of. patterns can be
produced in this way on one plate.
Many demonstrations were made to
show how, when things are tuned to
the same note, they vibrated In SYM
pathy. A big tuning fork was struck
and then stopped-but another tuning
fork, which was of exactly the same
pitch, went on humming, though 1t
had not been touched"

AS lar as We can we
voice this joyousness In the flowers
that are seen everywhere. There is
a coldness in the church service that
II not frightened by at least lily or

the spirit of the Eastertide.
1t is good for US to have one day
in the year that is all joy. 1t is no
time for yielding to gloom or de-
preston. Life has so much of shad-
ow that the road would be darkened
did we never come out into the full
sunshine. We want life and light
and color around us; therefore we
put the blossoms of spring in our win
dows and wear them as We 60 to. and

Other festal days have their teu.-
poral distractions. Easter makes it's
strongest appeal to the soul side of
US. Coming as it does on the first day
Of the week, when the busy world is
