SECRET OF SUCCESS.
.Be Efficient and Do Things That
Other People Do Not Do.
.A. man has a weary lime awaiting to
rise in the world by force of sympathy,
by getting somebody else to pull him
along. You soe suoi people standina
around expecting compassion and a
life from some who have succeeded.
Rut this Is not the way suocess last-
tained. That comes by working for it,
by being worthy of it, by doing one's
best, if it comes at all. The world is
full of failures because a man hangs
hack and depends upon others.
Efficleacy is the geealast word in the
language, Then is no real 'progress,
without it. And what does efficiency
consist of? Of sobriety, honesty, dili-
gence, patience, happinese, unselfish-
ness, good habits said putting in full
time.
Of ,couree a man •can get rich by not
caring for these. Ile can gamble,
eteal, defraud, pad payrolls and ex-
pense bills, borrow money and never
pay. But euch riches don't last. They

to keep peace between his master and
the Abbot for a time at least, hastily
moved to the mere' side, and, in a low
voice, gave John a very softened ver-
sion of the Abbot's cavalier refusal to
tranefer the wardeltip of the Ladv de
Coleefeld. He represented the Abbot
as loth to surrender se rich a wardship

face that a refusal of this was immi-
nent, the Prince motioned to Bigot,
who went out. Durebfoundee at the
good humor with which the Prince
yearningly received the turt refusal of
his demands, :lemon answered tnore

"Ity the blood" exclaimed the Prince,

I not wish to sce my slitter that is to

her right brotherly."
, 'Thou art ever ready to so,saInte,
my Prince," murmured Geoffrey in his

The Abbot's face expressed both an:
ger and bewilderment. "rlighttees," he
began, but his utterance was stayed by
it coleructien at the hall's entrance.

was rich; Geoffrey was clamoring for

with coffers depleted; he must have

"How now, my Lord Abbot, fo• rgive
my untimely heat! Let us not quarrel

proved of this, as they thought the
Abbot's proceedings too aggressive
and masterful by far.

intended to be enticing and :subduing;

The next morning II.oheee sat up in
bed with a start; though hardly
awake, she felt there was some alien
Influence about her. Looking through
the open door of her aaartment deross
the Gate chamber, at Mistress Mary's
door, she saw .that, contrary to cus-
tom, it wasaaosed. Had her tire -wo-
man waltened,'end gone to the buttery
for their breakfast? No, it was too
early, as the graY light showed. Roe
hese turned restleesly on her pillow,
and then cowered beneath her cover-
ings, for on a low stool in the centre
of the little room she glimpsed a fig-
ure so weird that she hastened to shut
out its sight. At this, a rattling, "1 -lo,

Rohese, reasstited by this sound that
her visitor Was human, summoned

lid

falteringly:

Lord Rosebery is a great lover Of
animals, and on one occasion he aotete
ally went so far as to risk his life
for a -1.averite dog. His lordship wee
oti beard a steamer when suddeely hiS
dog fell overboard. Much distressed,
Lord Rosebery asked the captehe te
stop the ship -a request whech was re-
fused. -
"If it were a man overboard," Said
the captain, "Why', then, of course" -
"Oh," said Lord Rosebery, "that eall
be easily managed," and, to the cap-
tain's astonishment, he leaped over-
board after the dog himself. .
Naturally, the denier was promptly
stopped, a boat was lowered with all
speed, and both dog 'and master were
rescued, none the worse for their expe-
rience. -London Tit -Bits,

Little Danger in 1:urning A Hos
On Heavily Charged wires.
The slight danger that fireinel run
through the eleetric eurrent passing
groin heavily Charged wires up the
Streant of water they are squirting is
proved by an experiment conducted by
figo Tartaglini and repoited ,in La
Sclenza per WU!.
A 'trolley car wire.charged with a, di-
rect current of 520 volthad one end
grounded; on the other end he directed
a stream from it hose with it nozzle fif-
teen millimeters in -diameter. At 2.20
meters clistence it voltmeter attabhed
to the nozzle registered twenty volts.
At sixty-five centimeters distance it
registered seventy 'volts and at twenty
centimeters 210 volts. The average
man can stand a, cerrent of fifty volts
evitliout serious shock, so et firernaa
who holds his nozzle five or six feet
from a. live wire rues no great danger.
Mr. Tartaglani made the same ex-
periment on two lines of alternating
current, one with 2,300, the other with
4,600 volts, end the voltmeter die not
register any current in the stream Of
water, although a, slight shook was per-
ceptible when he put his liana into it
With a eheinleal extinguisher he got a
current of 1,550 volts at 225 millime-
ters from a wire with a current of 2,050
voles.

Settled the Duel.
Lord March, afterward the Marquis
of Queensberry, was not ace:metal/led
Lo view a duel with unbecemeng appre-
hension and usually attended an affaer
with an air of enjoyment that often
was decidedly displeasing and embar-
rassing to his adversery. But he was
[served at last with that aftlICO WhiCh
the proverb explains is for the gander
as well as the goose. It was when
he was chellenged to fight an flesh
sportsman. Lord March appeared on
the ground accompanied by a segonds
surgeon and other witnesses. His op-
ponent arrived socu afterward with a
similar retinue, hut addecl. the weiglif
of a polished oak ceffin, which he
deposited on the ground, end up, with
its lid facing Lord March and his
parte. Lord March **came decidedly
uncomfortable when he read the in-

name and title and the date and year
of death, and peace was patched Up.
BETTER TRH SPANKING
Spanking does not cure children of bed-
wetting. There is 8 constitutional cause
for this 'trouble. Mrs. M. summers, Do::

any mother her successful ,hoine treat-
ment, with full instructions. Send no
money but write her to -day if your
children trouble you M this way. Don't
blame the child, the chances are it can't
help it. This treatment also cures adults
and aged people troubled with urine dif-
ficulties by day or night.

Volcanoes and Disease.
Many strange and exaggerated ac-
counts have been given of terrible
diseases in human beings, lower ani-
mals aria plants as a. resutt of vet-
canic activity. In a prize essay by
Dr, H. J. Johnson-Lavis it is shown
that there is no direct connection
with .disease, but that volcanic out -
berate may indirectly cause or in-
crease epidemic diaease in several
ways. The poisonous fumes may
have irritating end depressing effects
on,the eyes and throat. Mee dis-
turbance of water muses may brae;
about the infection of wells and sur-
face supplies with sewage, and inter-
ferenee with ventilation of houses
may result from the accumulation of
ejected materials. The moral depree-
Bien from fear, with hunger from the
cutting off of food supplies, may have
the effect by lessening the resistince
of the organization to lefeetion.--Ese
