One Thing at a Time.

Perhaps because YOU have so manv
goals you wish To reach YOU are far
away from any of them. observes an
efficiency expert.
You are dividing your forces.
You must have one real objective
point if you would win success-the
success which Is worth winning.
1t Is quite impossible to have one
major subject which you study and
aim to excel In. and then fritter AWAY
part Of your time on others.
Certain arts and studies are allied
it's true.
Then select one and study 1t thor.
oughly and well.
Concentrated thought, study and ac-
ton In one direction will accompIish
great things.
But u smatterlng Of all and finish
of nothing Is time wasted.
Choose wisely; then go to 1t, one
thing at a time.

A Hindrance,

An army officer who served In the
Spanish war tells of New York regi-
ment, many Of whose members were
recruited on the East side. They were
spelling for a fight. and it became
necessary to post guards to preserve
order
A big husky BOwery recruit, of pu-
glistic proportions, was put on duty
outside and given special orders to
see that quiet reigned. and, above all
things, if trouble came his way, not
TO lose possession Of his rifle.
Soon a general row began, grow
ing in proportions as the minutes pass
ed The soldier walked his post ner-
vously. without interrupting, until the
corporal of the guard appeared on the
scene with re-enforcements..
"Why didn't you stop this row." de-
handed the corporal
The sentry balanced his rifle on his
shoulder. raised his arm to the cor
rect boxing position, and replied:

Causes of Minds.

Winds are produced by a disturb
anCe of the equilibrium in some part
Of the atmosphere; disturbance al
ways resulting from a difference in
temperature between adjacent sec
tons. Thus, if The temperature of
certain extent of ground becomes high
er, the air in contact with it becomes
heated, il expands and goes towards
the colder or higher regions of the
atmosphere; whence it flows prOduc-
ing winds which blow from hot to cold
countries. But at the same time the
equilibrium is destroyed at the sur
face of the earth, for the pressure on
the colder adjacent parts is greater
than on that which has been heated
and hence Il current will be produced
with 4 velocity dependent on the diff
ference between these pressures: thus
two distinct winds will be Produced
