Perseverance is the most important
thing, but three other rules should pre-
cede it.
1.-THE first rule is: Learn to recog
nize new mechanical possibilities
while they are still in an undeveloped
stage.
"The second rule is: Work alone
don't initiate others, trust yourself
Always make it a principle never to
follow anybody else. If you study
another mans devices you cultivate
his mental ruts and are apt to make
his mistakes. 1t takes daring and
courage to be original, but these are
the qualities that bring the big re-
wards and the big honors.
The third is: Don't work too much
from theory"
Doctor Best's favorite author is OH
yer Wendell Holmes. His own belief
in the value of perseverance, of hold
ing to what you believe in, though the
whole world seems to have turned
against you, he finds best reflected in
the following words of the New Eng
land humorist, which he keeps before
him on his desk:
Success is the result of mental at
titude, and the right mental attitude
will bring success in everything you
undertake.
Men who succeed have faith in
themselves, and faith in their fellows
Doubt either, and you are doomed.
The man who does his work so well
that he needs no supervision has al
ready succeeded.
Men who act their thoughts and
think little of their act are the ones
who win. Failure: There is no such
word in the bright lexicon of speech
unless you yourself have written ii
there. Thomas H. UzZell.

Tad" Lincoln and
His Brothers

The four children of Abraham and
ert, Edward, William and Thomas.
OF these lads Edward died in infancy,
but three lived to become illustrious
boys of the White House.
Robert Lincoln was considerably
older than his younger surviving bro
Tiers, and was much away at school
in those Springfield days before the
war, going first to Philips Exeter
Academy and then to Harvard.
In some ways William seems to
have been the flower of the family

literarp tastes and peculiarly winning
ways There was a strong spice, how
ever, of Father Abe's humor in his
composition, and he was not back

"Tadpole" was what Mr.. Lincoln
called his youngest-his baby--and
this quickly became contracted to
''Taddie" and Tad"
The boys were about ten and seven
when their father-their own dear,
good father-was elected President of
the United States. 1t was in the ia

gan to scribble some of his boyish
thoughts on paper, as well as pore
over book at his mothers side.
1t was in the White House that he
died in the very flower of his happy
and most promising youth. He con-
tracted severe cold riding on his
little pony in inclement weaathtr, fever
set in, and day by day he grew more
white and wan, until at last he passed
away
He had been his mothers favorite
child, but she gave away everything
that could remind her of him, and
never again entered the chamber
where he died or the Blue Room
where he lay in his little casket.
Now, however, Tad became more
than ever his fathers pet, and ran
freely in and out of the public offices.
He was inflicted with an impeachment
in his speech, but this only seemed to
endear him the more to his parents,
and may also have been the reason
why he was not sent to school and his
education was so neglected, he not

He was an odd little chap, very af-
fectionate, but mischevious as a mon
key, and fear, sometimes almost as
unreasonable.
In an rnoccupied apartment he fitted
up a miniature theatre, with stage,
curtains. orchestra, stalls and par
quette, all complete; and was highly
indignant, when one day, he found
taken possession of by the photo
graphers, who had come to take some
steropic views and wished there to
develop their proofs. He made great
uproar, and, locking the door, pocketed
the key, leaving all the chemicals in

1t has been discovered that blue
rock pigeons fly at speeds ranging
from % to 26 miles an hour.
Pheasants at their best are able to
cover about 33 miles an hour, and part
ridges from 26 to "a milts an hour.
Carrier pigeons have been found to
do as much as so miles in an hour,
though the average carrier does about
35.
These speeds have been tested by
a naturalist by means of rugged up
screen of very fine silk and wire
threads. With this contrivance ne
was able to record the speed of birds
flying through the screens in the same
way that a speed of bullet is ar
rived at.
