Curious Effects of Frost.

sAn egg expands when it is frozen SO
much that the increased bulk breaks
the shell. Apples. on the contrary
contract to such an extent that full

the frost has been slowly and careful

DO you LOVE YOUR WORK !
n You Do Not, Then You Are Simply
Wasting Your Efforts.

If your, work is burden, If 1t is
drudgery to you, you have not found
your place In life. If you are in the
right place you will feel every faculty
and function in you tugging away at
your purpose with delight. Everything
within you will give its consent, its ap-
proyal to your choice.
The mental attitude which we hold
toward our work or our aim has every
thing to do with what we accomplish.
If You go to your work like a slave
lashed to his task and see in it only
drudgery; if you work without hope,
see no future in what you are doing be-
yond getting a bare living; If you see
no light ahead. nothing but poverty,
deprivation and hard work all your
life; if you think that you are destined
to such il hard life, you cannot expect
to get anything else than that for
which you look.
Every one should go to his work with
the same eager spirit as the great mas
ter approaches his canvas = with his
soul. led by great longing and heart
hunger, an all absorbing eagerness to
transpose to the canvas the mighty pic
ture which is consuming his SOUL
If you approach your work as though
1t were burden which you would glad
" get rid of If you could and do it
merely from sense of duty you will
continue to be nobody In the world
That sort of spirit never lifts a man
out of mediocrity Orison SWEET Mar
