EVERYDAY >PHILosoPHM

A
 What an easy and delightful thing it is to make others happyl To have suffered much is like knowing many languages.
 He who cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must one day pass. for all have need to be forgiven.
 In all evil speaking he who listens is the accompIice of the one who speaks ill
 Many by being thought to be better than they were are made. better.
 Kind words are the golden riv- cts that help to hold together the shattered vase of human happi- ness.
 If you would be of use in the < world think of yourself last. Talent develops best in so1i- tude. but character in the stream of busy life.
 It is not the suffering but the cause that makes the martyr. '

The softest tones of green. blues, pinks. etc., are to be found in the wool.
 A special little hook, with a clip to hold the wool. which is cut in lengths or about three inches, is used in the making. knot being formed in the canvas, leaving the cut ends upper. most It is quickly learned, and rugs so made will last number of years

How to Be Successful.

Don't complain
 Don't demand sympathy. 2 Don't say you are unlucky. You are as lucky as you think you are, and op- portunity is always at your door.
 Don't think you would succeed better somewhere else than where you live. s Don't waste time on self pity.
 Don't be persuaded that you must be absolutely healthy before you start to work. You may find health in your work
 Don't stay in an employment which really is a detriment to your health. If you are brave enough to try you will wind something better suited tc your needs.
 Work with a goal before you. Don't be satisfied with your own degree o1 efficiency or knowledge. You can al ways acquire more.

may be found in paying quantities yet.
And what about those veins of gold

The most interesting piece of news we

lengthy and knowing 1t will interest all
who have not read 1t We will send in the
whole text for publication. Will refer
to it again later.
"The first hydro aeroplane line In the
world to be established for regular daily
service between two definite points was
opened New Years Day between Tampa
and st. Petersburg in Florida. 1t is an
air and water line, as the two points are
% miles apart across the water, and the
craft, which Tony Janus, the famous
aviator, operates is capable Of taking
two or three passengers and whisking
them on the suface OF the water or over
the water, as he chooses, between the
two points in about 20 minutes. The
first trip was made from the st. Peters
burg yacht harbor in the presence OF
about 5000 persons, and since then the
air-and-wster boat has been running on
schedule time to and from Tampa. The
craft which Janus uses looks very
much like flying fish with double
wings. 1t Is practically Farman BIZ
plane, equipped with the necessary float
ing apparatus. There Is the central
boat, which contains aviator, passengers
and machinery, and there are small
floats at the extreme tips Of the lower
plane. This craft must land on and rise
from the water. Under favorable condi-
tions it is real Joy ride on the sur
face of the water, but it flies even better
in the air."
Temperature down to ten Friday
morning, which will do very well for
the goth Of March.
