Famous Persons.

Somebody who writes for the Argo- naut has collected a number of inSig- nificant facts about significant persons. Oliver Wendell Holmes used to carry a horse chestnut in one pocket and a potato in another to ward of rheu- matism. Edgar Allan Poe slept with his cat and was inordlnately proud of his feet. Robert Browning shulfled his feet so constantly that he wore holes in the carpet. Sardou imagined he had a perpetual cold. Count TOlstOi was very rich, but he wore the cheapest clothes that he could buy. Ernest Re nan wore his finger nails abnormally lOng.-Detroit News.

Roads Speedily Rssurfaeed.

Closing London's busy roads for several days while they were resur- faced was incOnvenient and interfered seriously with traffic. A new method permits the road to be completely re- paired and opened to traffic again three hours after the repair crew goes to work. Tar Is vaporized in trav- cling cart and pumped through the sprayer at high pressure. which forces it deeply into the bed of the load. While the tar is still hot, there are men following behind the sprayer to sprinkle fine gravel over the surface, and as soon as the tar hardens, which takes only three hours. as stated above, the road can be thrown open
 for traffic.-POpular Science Monthly.

Ambition as Motive Pnu.r

The right ambition can mold the na- ture of its mental push. Country boys have risen to financial pedestals and rail-splitters to national leadership. The right mental push put energy into action when needed. Such men have left names to encourage our youth Every youth has a right to picture himself in high station. It takes only continued effort intelIigently directed to put him there. The vision of it is the first mental push toward that end. When every effort expresses the mo tive of the individual he will strive for the nOblest conduct. That means put ting the right push into the mind and developing according to the noblest purposes in life.-Grit.

The Good Listener.

young woman has risen to fame on the American stage by a peculiar route. The story of how opportunity came knocking at her door and found her in has just come out in a news paper interview. It is simply this: She 'listened her way" into stardOm. In the background of many a man of genius you will find a good listener usually wOman-tO whom they could pour out their minds. Four such may be named: BalZac, the novelist; the composers, Wagner and TschaikOwsky, and the artist, MlchelangelO.
