Self Training 10 Best, Says Armour.
In the American Magazine is an arti-
Gle BY ]. o. Armour entitled Armour
Men Who Got Ahead-and Why" I'm
which Mr.. Armour gives his opinion of
the qualifications that make for bust
ness success.
"One Of the truest axioms I know"
ne says, lis the business saying that
the best trained man is the self train
ed man 1t Is my belief that no man
developed by a formula In a business
organization can ever reach the power
OF one who Is put ON his own RESPONSE
b1lity, knowing that his advancement
depends on his own brains, foresight
and application.
by this do not mean that q BUSH
ness leader should let his men 60 along
Dlindly. He must always give some
thing OF himself. He must teach them
the overland and crawl strokes where
they knew only the breast stroke be-
fore. But in any Office organization
the man who has never had to stand
squarely on his own feet is never in a
position to march ahead"

Housaa Made of Glass.

Glass Is becoming more generally
used as a building material each year.
For some years glass bricks have been
utilized where strength and durability
as well as beauty were essential fea-
lures. Glass is used for wainscoting,
for partitions, for ceilings and for fac
ing the fronts Of buildings. 1t is also
being used for foundations.
1t has been demonstrated that the
crushing strength Of glass Is three
times that Of granite, six times that OF
ordinary brick and ten times that Of
concrete. Another advantage 1t has
over these materials Is that 1t Is abso-
lutely nonabsOrbent so that q glass
building can be perfectly dry inside, no
matter what the atmospheric condi-
lions outside.-Atlanta Journal

Eskimo Carving.

ALI Of the Eskimo carving today Is
done with steel tools, but there is work
In existence that dates back to the
stone age. The older Eskimos say that
their ancestors used tools Of flint, and
1t is known that they have been cary
ing ivory for many generations. Some
Of the very poorest Of them and those
that live in the most out Of the way
places are noted for their work of this
kind. They seem to do it for pastime
and make many toys and dolls for
their children. They have a way Of
softening the bone, horn or ivory be-
fore they work 1t, and to make the
carvings more distinct they etch lines
on the surface with black paint made
Of a mixture Of gunpowder and blood.
This, when put on the freshly cut bone.

Rattlind Windows.

In some houses the windows have an
unpleasant habit of rafting at all times
Of the day and night when there Is the
least wind. In such a case an ordinary
clothespin IS most effective. 1t must be
split in half and one half inserted on
each side between the framework and
the window or between the sashes. A
good plan IS to paint the clothespeg the
same color as the window frame and
secure the pieces by a cord and screw
to the frame so that they will be in
readiness when needed.

Little Ihinua Count.

The more complex life grows the
more these little things count. One or
two men at the pumping station could
produce a water famine for 100000
people.
Cut very thin wire, and city Is in
total darkness.
Five cents worth Of calico is enough
to eclipse Raphael's finest Madonna.
When everybody walked to his ap-
pointed place Of work nothing short of
universal calamity would keep ev-
erybody away from work. Now a de-
fective feed wire will halt hundred
thousand in trolley cars.
And because these little things do
foot up to such big totals the human
element remains important despite all
our inventions.
Most failures are men and women

Damascus Swords,

Damascus swords, whose fame at one
time made them almost one of the won
ders Of the world, were made Of al
ternate layers Of iron and steel, so
finely tempered that the blade would
bend to the hilt without breaking, with
an edge so keen that no coat Of mail
could resist it and a surface so highly
polished that when a Moslem wished
to rearrange his turban he used his
sword for looking glass.

Fish Versus Mosquitoes.

Myriads Of mosquitoes used to infest
the rice plantations Of Madagascar.
DR.. Legendre, a savant well known in
scientific circles in Paris, conceived
the idea Of freeing the region Of mala-
rial trouble by the Introduction into
the watercourses Of cyprin, or red fish,
which are very fond Of both mosqui-
toes and their eggs. Within five months
500 fish multiplied to 10000, and these
destroyed nearly all the mosquitoes.
The fish besides being a malaria de-
stroyer became very important as an
addition to native food.-London Tele-

KENTUCKY PRIMARY
VICTORY FOR DRYS
Coming Legislature Is Certain to Sub
init Prohibition Question to People
and 1t Ia Equally Certain to Carry.

That the recent primaries in Ken
lucky resulted In a clean-cut victory
for dry Senator j. c. w. Beckham is
the word brought to Washington. d.
c.. by former Lieutenant Governor w.
p. Thorne, of the Blue Grass state,
whose home is at Eminence.
There is a dispute as to whether
the Beckham or the Stanley forces
have carried the legislature" said
Governor Thorne. land the Stanley
people are claiming 1t. but the fact is
that Senator Beckham has won out
and the legislature will be controlled
by him by very safe margin, The
significance of this victory is that
Beckham is now certain TO be re-
turned to the United States senate. If
Stanley had won the Legislature he
would have been A formidabl foe of
Reckham in the senatorial arena.
The coming legislature will submit
to the people of Kentucky the question
as to whether or not there shall be
statewide prohibition. In my opinion
there is only one possible outcome.
Statewide prohibition is going to win
In Kentucky just as surely as the sun
rises tomorrow. My impression is
that nearly everybody in Kentucky is
willing to see prohibition tried out ex-
cept my old and esteemed friend
Henry Watterson."
