DR.. Lowell maintained the correct

arguing that while very defective in

He described it as an experiment in
open diplomacy.
To meet certain objections raised,
DR.. Lowell advocated the insertions of
clauses in the covenant permitting
withdrawals from the league on rea-

foreign powers shall acquire any pos
sessions on the American continents
and making it perfectly clear that
immigration and tariff problems are
to be regarded as purely internal af-

LOATH TO GIVE UP ARMOR
Mobiles Wore II as Gala Costume Long
After 1t Was of Any Value
as Protection.

Until the sixteenth century armor de-
veIOped in a logical way; its forms
were governed by the necessities of
war, changes in it were the result of
practical experience and actual expert
ment on the battIefield-not decided
upon in the Office of the minister of
war.
After the sixteenth century 1t be-
came fantastic and meaningless. a gala
costume rather than a harness; the
greatest captains opposed its use, but
the mobiles chung to it as a mark of
distinction.
After 1t was made bulletproof It be-
came so enormously heavy that at the
end of the sixteenth century Larone
complained that gentlemen of thirty
were already deformed by the weight
of their armor.
In spite of the huge armors of Henry
VIII, of Anthony of Burgundy and of
some others, the average size of the
modern man is greater than that of the
soldier Of the middle ages and the re-
naissance, if we can judge from the
armOrs preserved in the museums of
England and the Continent, which are,
with few exceptions, small and mar
row, especially in the leg and thigh
pieces.

WORKING Upward.

There is nothing so sure of succeed
ing as not to be over brilliant-as to
be entirely wrapped up in the thought
of success. and endowed with perse-
verance which. in spite of the rebuffs
it may meet, never relaxes in the pur-
suit of its object, and the man of real
talents is the man who will make bold
TO ask for what he wants. He will
besiege every employer in the world
for work before he will remain idle or
be satisfied with mediocre position.
Then when he has once obtained it, he
will almost Immediately lay claim to
something better. He will summon all
his courage and demand the right TO
take a step higher up on the success
ladder; and nine times out of ten he
will be permitted to take it.-Ex-
