"YHAT, exactly, is success?
W. What is the mark you
w may look for upon a1ys
undertaking of life of man or
woman that tells you plain, This
is a SUGGEST"
Is it gold? Fame? A stately
home and servants and fine pos
sessions? Hosts of adoring-and
sometimes observation-disclosures?
In a cold, cherries four-roonl
flat on the second floor of a six
story tenement on the East Side
of New York an old man died a
few days ago.
His old wife had hardly suffi-
cient means with which to give
him a decent funeral No gran
deur of surroundings, no lordlv
beauty of expensive floral offer
ings to soften the stark terror OK
death. He was almost pauper.
Yet when word went out that
the old heart had stopped beat
ing and the old eyes were closed,
a sob went up from the hearts OF
people herded in attic and cellar
and the narrow four walls of TIE
poorest of the East Sides poor.
They gathered outside his door
the least of these "-early in
the morning. And all day long
they stood in the winter cold,
tears running down their cheeks,
sorrow twisting their lips. And
when the humble colstege took up
it's march to the cemetery. these
people, who could afford no con-
veyance, walked behind, that
ioh
honor in which they held their
dead friend.
Seldom has such funeral been
known in New York.
But perhaps you already have
read of the passing of DR.. Ferd1-
nand Seegar.
Son of a famous physician,
graduate of Heidelberg, a founder
of Hahnemann Hospital, and OF
the Northwestern Homeopathic
Dispensary, member of the Society
of HOMEOPATHIC Physicians of st,
Petersburg, decorated for service
nv the Car of Russia, holder Of
thirty-two diplomas and honorary
degrees from various universities,
the doctor put aside an illustrious
place in the world to become an
abscure humanitarian.
He worked among the poor and
the helpless and what he saw III
their faces was-so he believed
the mark of success.
I know a little gentleman whom
I consider a success. Gold has
not-fame never has so much as
brushed him with her skirt-hem.
His home is a six-room cottage
with a suggestion of stateliness.
He has not many friends, for he
is old and the people of his youth
and later years are scattered or
have passed on.
He sits by a window more often
than not and sometimes he -
saCdened because his work is
over, as he believes, and he feels
that success rather has passed
him by.
And sometimes 1 hope he may
know that his personality Is
laboring side by side with certain
of those who love him. Memory
of his unfailing kindness goes out
to brighten many a dark hour.
The example he set throughout
many long years of thoroughbred
struggling against odds Is q
tangible thing which has directed
and is directing!-ande ncourag-
ing others in more ways than ever
he dreams.

IN ministering 160. 900, 900 acres

states taking care of timber grow
ing within their borders the fire
problem on that woodland has
not yet been mastered, says Henry
8. Graves, former Chief of the
United States Foresty Service
and now dean Of Yale Forestry
School.
Dean Graves has just pointed
out that the amount of timber
used and destroyed every year in
the country is four times as
much as that produced, and If
this condition persists the effects
on industry are bound to be
serious. There are now over 200,-
100000 acres of forest lands with
out protection from fire.
Incidentally, Dean Graves points
out, nineteen schools of collegiate
grade are turning out men to
take charge of these forests
Yale's Forestry School will, in
June, occupy Sage Hall, probably
the largest building in the United
States devoted to such work; and
the school has 8 school forests
we'll located, stocked with timber
and covering some 5000 acres;
it's endowment Is nearly $1,000,-

fessors.

; sciously. This can be done through
the habit of close attention. taking
in the natural relations of the OBJ
ject Of attention to its environ
ment. I have little confidence in
systems OF artificial association as
aids to memory. They no doubt
serve a temporary purpose very
well, but as general training for
the memory should advise the
cultivation of attention and Of the
habit Of organizing the contents of
the storehouse Of the memory.
This brings us to the psychoIog-
zeal side Of the subject.
Association underlies all men,
ory," says DR.. r. C. Givler. Moth
ing. is remembered alone-it all
ways requires association to re-
tain or recall it. So When
you forget 1t is because Of break
in the chain of associations pre-
viously formed about the forgotten
fact"
The organization of the memory
contents of your mind should
begin with the first introduction
of new subject Put it at once
in the company where It belongs,
and then you will not only know
where to find 1t, but it will step
forth OF itself when you turn
toward the file where 1t stands.
Arrange your memories ae you
arrange the books in your library
putting the poets volumes on
certain shelves, and the histories
by themselves, and the travellers
tales all together, and the works
on different sciences in groups.
Putting q new fact in its proper
relation to things already learned
as soon as IT becomes known to
you helps greatly to insure it's
retention and to make 1t always
ready for recall. If you pitch it
into your head without regard to
where it falls among the crowd
of other things already there, it
may become like o needle in d
haystack. You have forgotten 1t
in the very moment of acquiring
1t. Fortunately, in any healthy
brain there seem to be roadways
or channels that open Of them
selves for the reception OF new
acquisitions, sending them auto
matically to their proper lodgings
among the cells, where their re-
lated predecessors are assembled.
Or we may say that the grouped
memories already acquired exert
e. particular attraction upon any
cognate subjects that appear on
the threshold of attention and
draw them to their proper asso-
ciatiye centers. The object of any
system of memory cultivation
should be to strengthen this ten
dency.

vicy E. Twining passed to her eter-
nal reward After a brief illness of
twelve days, through which she suffer-
ed very little pain and was conscious
at all times, the departed, realizing
that the weights of years had grown
toe heavy for her, looked forward
with great joy to her glorifed rest
The passing was most beautiful in
deed Her constant expression WIGS
I'm going to NEST my Saviour" She
herself, took from her loved ones

by the sweet resignation and conf
dence which she expressed.

day p. m. the 18th, at 2:30 from the
Presbyterian church, Rev. Dr. Mac
Lean, pastor Of that church officiat-
ing. ThesbOdy was laid to rest in the
city cemetery Of her newly adopted
Montana home All arrangements
were in strict conformity to her own
expressed wish. She did not wish to
have her body pass through the en-
balming state and shipped East to her
old home Remembering the weari-'
ness of the Journey West, and the tie
that so closely associates her to the
West and her loving daughters care
she wished to have her remains with
in the reach of these loving hands.
Levicy Elizabeth Whitaker was
born in Bulten county, Kentucky, May
Z, 1897 When but a child, both par
ents were called away leaving her, a
sister and three brothers homeless.
The grandfather cared for the chill
dren a few years and at his death an
uncle, Samuel BOrah, brought them to
his home in Grant county, Wis. Here

became the mother of Mary Kee, now
Mrs. Anger of Sebasterpol, Cal. Mr..
Kee died on the Southern battlefeldS

sell.
Mrs. Twining started her Christian
life service in 1857 and has been asso-
,ciated with Christian work all these
years, two-thirds Of a century. She
was a member of the NJ. E. church and
leaves behind her much fruit-bearing
service for the Masters use. In the
absence of Methodist pastor, Rev.
and MS MacLean visited her and Of
him she requested that he would
preach her funeral sermon and bring
her body to his church, avowing that
difference in name was no barrier
with Christ's children. ***

is shunted across the leads of the loop.
The closed oscillatlng circuit formed
by the loop and the shunt condenser
can be connected by any detecting
circuit as shown in Fig. | or can be
used with fadio-frequeney amplifers.
When used with receiving sets employ

the loop is connected, and the shunt

accomplished by means of the grid

A loop antenna will pick up a maxi

the loop, and a minimum amount of
energy when the transmitting station
Is In a direction at right angles to the

will pick up a maximum amount of
energy from Station A and a minimum
amount from Station B.
Care must be taken In setting up u

The energy picked up by a loop an

TIPS TO THE RADlolST

The danger of stringing radio
wires over light or power wires
was demonstrated In New Jer-
sey recently when a well-known
citizen was shocked to death.
Radio distance lends enehant-
ment. A writer says, "A great
many amateurs prefer TO hear a
few d%iscordant notes from 1000
miles away than a wonderfully
executed program from their
own town."
Radio accomplishes some great
and new thing every day. Now
II has been found that old razor
blades can be used In making
condensers and another way to
get rid of old blades is given to
a grateful public.
Radio has gone to the dogs. A
Hood River, Ore, paper de-
scribes a toy dog with his tail
caught In a trap. Upon calling,
Here, Tige," the voice vibra-
lions release the trap and the
pup springs at you.
One Of the latest inventions in
the radio field Is a filter that
separates the telephone and tel
egraph waves. We shall look
forward 10 the day when a filter
will separate the good music
from the bad and automatically
send the latter to Uranus.
In boring OF saving wood,
fiber, etc. soap is far better
than oil. Also If screws r
soaped with ordinary kitchen
soap they will enter the wood
easily without danger of ruin
ing the head slots, and, more
over, they may be readily re-
moved Mt any time.
DIR. Marconi lives a life of
clock-work regularity upon his
yacht. He breakfasts at 8 and
t~olerates no hardness on the
part Of those dining with him.
He is an lndefatigable worker
and holds himself In readiness
to give personal attention to
any radio matters that may
come up. night or day.
Dean Dexter S. Kimbal Of Cor
nell university In a recent radio
talk to engineers, made two I'M
pontant points: One. that a man
can now say "I1l tell the world
without using slang; and the
other, that the study of ether VI
brations. upon which radio Is
based, is in its infancy. and the
future promises even more than
the development from manual
signs to radio.
