YOUR AMBITION.
Have You a Clear Cut Ida Of the OBJ

OutG on q OtSdT Out toFsd " kuS w
ject Of Your Desire?
Several years ago, when filed po-
sition which brought me many visitors
each day and many more letters at the
same time, was oyerburdened with
requests for advice from persons who
wished ito succeed ito accomplish"
ito attain" But, as strange as the
statement may seem to you, | can
truthfully say that not one in hun
bred of these earnest seekers was able
to state exactly what he or she really
wanted.
They were dissatified and discomfort
ed and felt the vague urge OF unrest
pushing them forward to further en-
deavor and attainment, but it stopped
right there. Ninety-nine out Of every
hundred did not know what they want
ed. They asked not only for advice
regarding the means Of accomplish
ment and attainment, but also for In
formation as to what they should real
ly desire.
"Silly," you exclaim. Not bit Of 1t.
/ venture to say that youyes, you who
are now reading these lines-are not
much better off regarding clear cut
ideas and ideals. You want and want
and want, of course, but just what do
you want? Have you clearly defined
idea and q clear cut ideal Of the OBJ
ject of your desire? Honor bright now,
have you?-William Walker Atkinson

Eighteenth CENTURY LIFE.
A Bath Was Matter of Some Moment
In Those Days.

A Bath Was Matter of Some Moment
In Those Days.
These brief extracts from the letters
Of Elizabeth Montagu, the queen of
the bluestockings,v throws a curious
light on eighteenth century life In Eng
land. She was suffering from swell
ed lip. Promptly the great DIR. Mead
prescribed blister to her back. She
writes:
II am better than l was; but, my
mouth not being yet perfectly reduced.
l have got fresh blister upon my
back. Well may 1t bend with such a
weight of calamities. / have sent for
my bathing cloathes and on Sunday
night shall take souze. / think 1t Il
pleasant remedy"
Apparently I'm 1741 lady could not
take bath even on Sunday night and
In the privacy of her chamber without
her bathing cloathes."
Mrs. Montagu writes again: my lip
is not entirely reduced. though | have
been blistered twice, once blooded and
have five times taken physic. have
lived upon chicken and white meats
and drunk nothing but water. l have
suffered great Disappointment about
the warm bath which l am advised to
try, for the bathing tubs are so out of
order that we have not yet been able
to make them hold water. "-Westmin-
ster Gazette.
