\ Paradox.

Nothing doesn't succeed like sue cess.
 Could anything be more ridicu- lous than the assertion than nothing succeeds like success? A success full man is one who has made a failure of everything else except the thing in which he has succeed led. If, for example, he has been successful at acquiring wealth he has nothing else to recommend him. Success in any direction IS III reality only the meausre Of one Allure in all other directions.
 Furthermore, the moment a man attains success, this success, in- stead of succeeding, immediately begins to fail him. Failure always succeeds. Success always fails Life.

His Varying Title.

An old fellow attached to an Episcopal church in New England took a friend into his confidence as to inc triviality of the title by which he should be designated.
 "Well," said he, 'the old church goes on the same, although it does change it's expressions at times. Look at me. I used to be the jani- tor. Then along comes a parson who calls the sextant. The next minister says I am a vargin; and the young man that's here now calls me the sacrilige It's all a matter of taste" e."-Harper's.

600TH FLIGHT FATAL.
Bryant, California Aviator, Plunqes
 to Death on Buildings Top.

Victoria, B. C., Aug. 8.-The aero plane in which John F. Bryant, a California aviator, had made 599 flights, failed him on the six hun dreth here late yesterday, plunging down to the roof of a business building. Bryant was killed.
 A heavy woman, who insisted on climbing into the machine last week to have her picture taken, was said by Bryant's friends to have been the indirect cause of the ac- cident The fragile seat unaccus- toned to such weight was dam aged and was believed never to have been fully repaired, thereby weakening a wire attachment to the steering gear.
