Lighting London Streets.

In 1416 citizens We're obliged to hang
out candles on dark nights to illumi-
nate the streets. This was enforced
by an act of parliament in 1861. In
1854 Edward Heming, the inventor of
oil lamps, made a daring offer, which
was that for proper consideration he
would engage to place a light before
every tenth door on dark nights from
6 p. m. till midnight. His proposition
was accepted, and he was given the
exclusive right to light the streets as
indicated for term of years. But the
scheme provoked a great uproar among
the people. Some of them enthusiast
tically applauded it and hailed Heming
as the greatest benefactor the city ever
had. Thousands of other furiously de-
nounced him and his scheme and de-
manded that the contract he cancelled.
Heming held on, and in time the peo-
pie became reconciled to having the
streets lighted. In 1876 the city gov
eminent assumed the responsibility.

FEEL CHARM OF CORNWALL
Artists Fond of Depicting Beauties of
Scenes in That Famous Eng
lish County.

1t has been said that of the two
hundred or more canvases dispatched
each year from Cornwall to London
"seven-eighths have been painted at
Newlyn or st. Ives" Certainly, in the
tangled streets of the little town,
wherever a window gives upon the
sea be sure an easel stands. St.
Ives gets it's name from an Irish
princess, st. la, who loated thither
upon leaf and landed on Pendinas,
the rocky headland which st. Ives
calls "the island" st. Ives sits by
a smooth circle of sea into which
a tongue of rocky land thrusts a bold
curving headland, inclosing an inner
harbor in the great sweep of the bay.
Up the green hillside climb the sum-
mer homes, the villas and cottages
and hotels, that belong to the tran
sient st. Ives. AS it's mean winter
temperature is but four degrees lower
than that of Rome, it has a fair per-
centage of winter visitors, while in
summer its hotels are crowded. st.
Ives does not let it's visitors inter-
fere with its business, which is pill
chard fishing-a picturesque thing to
the idle looker-on, but heavy-smelling
work for the fishermen-and renting
studios.

of a cubic yard being so indefinite that

Muir Could Drive CaroaJn.

Most people know that the famous
naturalist and writer, John Muir left
a substantial fortune behind him when
he died, but few perhaps are aware
that during the ten years he dedicated
altogether to business he was known
as the hardest man at a bargain in the
whole of California. las bargainer,"
writes Arno Bosch, John Muir was
pure Scotch. Muir had the biggest and
most dependable supply OF Tokay
grapes in California. The San Fran
cisco jobbers bought his yield to meet
their regular shipments to the north
and east. There were at that time
four big fruit jobbing houses in San
Francisco, and they tell tales yet in
Commission row of the bargains John
Muir drove with them. He was never
known to name a price first. Whether
he was selling grapes or land, he tried
first to find out what the other man
was willing to pay. But he always
had price in mind, and he got it. 1t
made no difference what was the mar
ket price of grapes. He made the job
bers pay what he expected

CHOOSING ONES LIFE WORK
Ability for Occupation Absolutely the
Only Thing That Is Worthy
Consideration.

Many persons have mistaken no.
tons regarding the occupations in
which they wish to engage, says the
Milwaukee Journal. The '1earned
professions" the ministry, law and
medicine, were once thought superior
to anything, else. Many boy has
been urged into one of these callings
without any desire for it. This
makes it impossible to do satisfac-
tory work, or to attain any real
measure of success. "There is no
great and no small to the soul that
maketh all" Not all can choose
what shall be their life work. More
have. to take what they can get.
When choice is open, it is wise to
choose what one likes. But whatever
the work one undertakes, do it upon
honor. No work well done can be de-
grading. He who respects himself
in his work will win respect. No
calling can be made a success with
out work.
The wider application of science to
the uses of life has made many en-
Payments desirable which in past
times were considered undesirable.
Science has lifted farming out of the
drudgery it was once thought to be
to one of the most highly respected
of occupations. To be a good engi-
neer or artisan is far to be preferred
to being a mediocre lawyer or doc
tor. To anything that needs doing
intelligence and education may be so
applied that it becomes as, worthy
calling as any other, just as any pro-
fession may be degraded to COB"
We grow wiser with the years. To-
day we ask not, What do you do?
but, How do you do it?

GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
By ERNEST o. SELLERS
Director of Sunday School Course
Moody Bible Institute
BUSINESS MANS TESTi-
MONY.

THE modern Sunday school
l. movement has always been
distinguished by the large number
of laymen who have been it's chief
leaders and supporters. Mention
has been made of Mr.. John D.
Rockefeller, John Wanamaker, E.
X. Warren, H. ]. Heinz and others.
One is bewildered by this mass of
testimony as to the value of the
Sunday school, its contribution to
individual lives and its hold upon
men who rank very high in the
business world. There has recent
ly come under the writer's eye a
letter which he is impelled to
quote. 1t is from the president OF
great cereal manufacturing COM
pany of st. Louis, Mr., Danforth,
who is greatly interested in the sec
ondary or older boys work and has
literally supported the summer
training school at Lake Geneva,
Wis. He says: "As boy the big
gest man l knew was my Sunday
school superintendent. He made
the greatest impression upon my
life. The biggest gain since has
been in teaching and working in
the Sunday school. The inspiration
of such men as Heinz and Wana-
maker has confirmed me in my de-
cision that as long as I can hold
my job in the Sunday school you
will find me right there"
Mr.. Danforth is one who has
come to realize that it means far
more to reach and transform a boy
plus a life than to reach man
without a life of service to follow.
Judge Fawcett of the New York
juvenile court, lifelong Sunday
school man, says that he had never
had to sentence as first offend
err a boy who was a faithful, reg
ular Sunday school attendant.
The late Mr.. Lindsey Woodcock,
vice-president and general mana
ger Of the Marshall Field retail
store of Chicago, once said: 1--WE
always feel fairly confident of the
future of any boy who comes into
our employ when we know that he 4
is a Sunday school boy" These |
men are not moved by sentimental 1
and emotional appeals, but their
Judgment rests upon the practical 4
material contribution that the Sun
day schools are making to the 4
youth of our land.
