Secret of Success Lies i-n-the---. Interest One Has in His Work

By REV. W. D. HOLT of Chicago. , The attitude of the mind toward one's work is a very vital element in the labor problem. The secret of success is largely based on the interest manifested by the employee in his work. The personal element is largely eliminated in the modern methods of toil, especially in factories, owing to the great development of the machine. A man becomes practically a mere machine or a part of a machine. But where there is brought into play the personal equation, one type of worker is liable to hold back the output of large numbers. There may be two men of equal ability and strength but one will accomplish more than' the other. , And he does this because he has an 'interest in his work. Too many jnen are unwilling Vorkers and hold others back. In the schoolroom a class may be held back by those students who have no interest in the work. "4 This is true in church work. Too many Christians are laggards and hold back others who have the mind to work in the kingdom. The total output is reduced by the unwilling. Talent is desirable and education is a good thing, but more essential is the right attitude of mind. Dwight L. Moody is a striking example of this truth. He was not educated, but accomplished marvelous results because of his indomitable energy. .Don't let the compromiser turn you from the work you have in hand.

FAVORITE OF FILMDOM Grace Darling. f Popular movie star who is appearing as Beatrice Fairfax in the new serial "Beatrice Fairfax," recently released. High Egg Production High egg production unfailingly results from mating two and three-year-old hens of proven high egg-producing powers to males which are known to have transmitted high egg-laying characteristics to their offspring. Breed only the most vigorous birds. Both male and female transmit high fecundity. High egg-producing hens produce higher egg-producing daughters, regardless of the males with whom they are mated. The late molter is the late layer. The early molter is the early layer. The early layer is the profitable layer. The early layer show s vigor, stamina and inherited powprs without which no pullet can be useful for egg production. A pullet of recognized high egg-laying strain which does not lay in seven to eight months will never pay for its upkeep. Leghorns should lay at seven to eight months and heavier breeds a month or six weeks later. Easily Made Petticoat. An evening petticoat which is dainty enough for all occasions and yet is not so very impractical is made of soft wash satin in flesh color. It is gored sHghtly to give less bulk at the waistline, but made, otherwise, perfectly plain. From the hip down bands of ecru net are hemstitched at intervals of two Inches. Through these a satin ribbon of delicate blue is run and tied with a bow at the side off the skirt, each row being tied in a slightly diagonal line over the other. The ribbons can ha removed before tubbing the skirt, and, if provided with snap fasteners instead of being tied each time they are put back in the net casings, they wil keep fresh some time. Phonograph Gives Fire Alam. A fire alarm apparatus that calls "central," telling her in a calm, dispassionate, mechanical voice that the factory of Smith, Jones & Co. is In flames and to please call the fire brigade immediately is the proposal of an English inventor. A phonograph, with its horn close to the mouthpiece of a telephone, fitted with a record bearing the fire warning. The phonograph starts when an electro ngnet placed near it dnjws down tl leasing lever. The circuit of whic ne magnet is a part Is closed by an .utomatic switch which is held by a cord. A fire burns the cord.

I Handkerchief. Hnnvir.tpH nf

Spreading Disease, Must Go, New Edict of Medical World Dr. F. Bobbins of New York urges In the Medical Record the abolition of the pocket handkerchief, because it is a source of infection long after a person has recovered from such diseases as infantile paralysis and even common "colds." 'The day will come," he says, "when the customary cotton rag is replaced by the cheap 'and clean Japanese pjiper napkin which is burned after it has been used. Infants and children are helpless against the rubbing of strange handkerchiefs over their perspiring and grimy faces. The public roller towel of the past was innocuous as compared to Uie family pocket handkerchief. Bitter experience will drive home the lesson that neglected noses, mouths and throats are largely if not exclusively responsible for the ultimate crippling ofvjJie unfortunate victims of disease and ignorance." Egyptian Tomb 5,000 Years Old in New York Museum. One of the most unusual exhibits ever made is the ancient Egyptian tomb which has recently been set up in the Metropolitan Museum of New York. The tomb originally belonged to Perneb, the lord chamberlain of an Egyptian monarch of the fifth i dynasty, about 3000 B. C. It was discovered in 1907 buried in the sand and was excavated block by block and carried on the backs of animals 20 miles to a railroad. The tomb as now set up, includes a vestibule, a main offering chamber, an adjoining offering chamber and a statue chamber. The walls are decorated with gorgeously colored paintings. The bones which were scattered in the floor of the tomb when discovered are now respectably inclosed in a glass case in the museum.

BIG SIX 0NE..0F BIG FIVE.. AMONG BASEBALL VETERANS

Christy Mathewson Takes Place In Hal! of Fame Beside Wagner, Lajoie, Walsh and "Cy" Young. They might be called the big veteran five of baseball, Christy Mathowson, who has become? the Red manager, after 1G seasons of pitching duty with the Giants; John Henry Wagner, the famous Dutchman, who still plays shortstop wonderfully well for the PI? rr.tes, although he is forty-two years old ; Napoleon Lajoie, of the Athletics, the once peerless second baseman, who is rounding out his twentieth year in the major leagues; Ed Walsh, the renowned "White Sox twirler, whose Star is fading in his fourteenth season in fast company, and Denton Tecumseh Young (Old Cy), who pitched 20 years in the big circuits. Future generations of fans will read of their exploits in baseball history, but it Is doubtful if they ever will see, the equals of these pillars of the national pastime. Did you ever read or mm Christy Mathewson. hear of a scandal involving these players? Did they ever indulge in disorderly conduct on or off the ball field? No, aud they took good care to save some of the large salaries which the magnates gladly paid to them. Matty is more dearly beloved of New Yorkers than the other members of the big five. He has been the idol of fans there since he began to show his remarkable pitching skill as a Giant in 1$)01. He won 20 games that year and 13 in 1902, but after that he did not score fewer than 22 victories in any campaign up to 1915. It was in 190S that Big Six won 37 games, his best performance, while in 1004 he pitched 33 victories. Matty took part in four world's series in 1905, 191 1912 and 1913. His magnificent pitoiing in the 1905 series enabled the Giants to wTin three of their games with the Athletics. In other words, Matty practically beat the Mackmen that year single handed. The inventor of the fadeaway won S 24 games and lost 13 in 1914 without the slightest indication of losing his remarkable skill. firm and smooth and serve in sherbet' glasses, garnished with ginger and whipped cream.

Among the little things that count in the new house is a ventilating lock for the windows. This lock permits the window to be left open at night for ventilation both at the cop and bottom, and securely locks it in that position so that no danger need be felt from outside intrusion. For bungalows with sleeping apartments on the ground floor this device is excellent; especially welcome it is to the timid members of the IiGGYiold. Africa Still Leads. South Africa leads the world. During 1011 the. value of the precious stones exported from the union was $41,409.535; in 1912, ?45,705,5S0, and in 1913, $60,0S2,C25. The firt diamond was discovered in South Africa by a trader named O'Heilly, who obtained a stone weighing 21 carats from a Dutchman who was utterly ignorant of its value. . The stone was later purchased by Sir Philip Wodehouse for $2,500.

The Heart of 1 an Actress Bu H. M. EGBERT JSw w viv Vit 'fl fc Js5 (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.) "I want you to be my. wife, Rae," pleaded Lester Donald as they sat side by side in the cabaret. Rae Mabie tapped her little shoe against the floor in agitation, but she did not answer him immediately. "Rae, you know how much I care for you," pleaded Lester. "It isn't as if we hadn't known each other for months. Avnv rnn't vniu env voe - - - W U 74.4. fcf You admit that you love me. What is there that is to come between us?" "Five or six million dollars, Lester," answered Rae, lifting her eyes to the young man's. . "And your mother and father. And all the wealthy relatives you have,. And your fashionable friends. And my position as a chorus girl. What do you suppose your people would say to a chorus girl uaugnter-in-iaw r "But when they see you, Rae, -they will think the same that I do," answered Lester. "I know how" goo'd you are, and that you joined the ohorus to support your mother, because you had the opportunity. It isn'jt the job that degrades the woman, it's the woman who makes the position what it is." Rae flushed at the young man's ardor. She was very fond of Lester; had loved him for six months, in fact. And she was the prettiest member of the sextet, and undeniably straight as a die. "There's something else, Lester," she answered. "You know, I'm well, common. I don't always speak grammatically. You know that's pretty bad. How would you like your folks to hear me say you was?' Not that I don't know better, but that's the way I was bred, and it naturally slips out sometimes." "Dearest Rae," said Lester, taking her hand, "my love is strong enough to overcome all those difficulties. Be"When I told Him Who I Was He Turned Perfectly Yellow." come my wife as the first step, and after that well, i guess you'll be 'able to have all the grammar lessons you want." r The girl hesitated, and the fight was won. She loved Lester, and at twenty-four love seems the mostwprecious thing in the world. Before they parted at her door that evening she had promised to marry him. Even in the intoxication of his happiness the young man felt the difficulty of making a satisfactory explanation to his parents. , T ' ' 'II. Six months later Hae passed out of Lester's life. In the brief letter that she left for him she told him that she would no longer make his life a burden. She was going where she belonged1, and she hoped that their paths would never cross vagain. The furious outcry against the marriage had not availed to turn Lester from his determination. Finally, his parents had given their reluctant consent and the young couple had set tip housekeeping inv a modest apartment in the residential section. And then their troubles began. Lester's old friends had cut him. His parents, overcome by the blow, received his wife only grudgingly into their home, and when Rae was there she saw unmfstakably how they and their other guests regarded her. Lester was solitary and morose. Rae did all she could to brighten his life, but unavailingly. And the longing for the old life began to stir in her. Lester had suggesteda grammar teacher, but the girl, disgusted with the treatment she had received, obstinately refused. "I was willing to try to become one of them," she said, "and they wouldn't have me. Now you can keep your old grammar. Once or twice Rae brought theatri- 1

cal people to the flat. Their ways of speech, their views jarred upon Lester, and he made no attempt to conceal his dislike for them. Angry recriminations followed. Finally Rae announced her decision to go back to the stage. Lester forbade it. For the first time since their marriage he realized how greatly the fault had been his own. He had done nothing to accustom his wife to her new life, while he had denied her her own. He spent the better part of a week searching for her. Finally he was driven to admit that she had carried out her threat; she had gone with the intention of never returning to him. His obstinacy aroused, he went back to his parents' arms. It was not long before the insidious suggestions of a divorce, coupled with the eager welcome extended by his friends, as to a man who had made a fool of himself, but had repented, worked upon Lester. He sued his wife for divorce on the ground of abandonment. The case was not contested; Lester thought Rae was ignorant of it

HI. Three years later Lester found himself many times a millionaire. His parents were dead; he had succeeded to his father's stock exchange business, and was spoken of as one of the coming men of the Street. It was just at this time that Madame Cossi was announced with a flourish of trumpets on the part . of her impresario as the greatest singer of the age, now about to make her first publie appearance in the metropolis. And in this case the impresario was right. The town raved over her. Never had so talented an actress appeared since Rachel. Never was there such a voice. The papers estimated her princely income as not far short of that of any captain of industry., Her studio apartment on the avenue became the hu.unt of celebrities. Society took her up. Madame Cossi was the lion or lioness of every fashionable entertainment. Beautiful, talented, and undeniably charming, Madame Cossi had the city at her feet. When first he saw her lithograph upon the billboards Lester felt sure that it was his wife. He went to see her in "Carmen." There before him. tantalizing, elusive, was the woman whom he had won only to lose, of his own perverseness. Her acting thrilled him. "Yes," he heard a bald-headed cynic at his side say to his companion, "she's been in love helplessly. It takes that to bring out the acting quality in a woman. After all, every woman is a potential actress." Lester remembered the words when he met her unexpectedly at Mrs. Van Tromp's reception. Without a shade of hesitation Rae put out her hand. "I am pleased to meet you again, Mr. Ronalds," she said. She touched him to the heartt The woman seemed made of stone. He pleaded for an interview. For some time she refused to grant one. "I am at home to my friends at five on Saturdays," she said finally. IV. There was nobody but Rae in the sumptuously furnished apartment when Lester called. She was attired in a magnificent dress, which left an indistinct impression of gold and black lace. There was such a smile on her face as might have been given any chance-acquaintance. "This is very charming, Mr. Ron alds," he said, "but does it not strike you as a trifle unwise on your part?" "Why?" he demanded, feeling an nsane jealousy in his heart for this woman, calm, unapproachable, whom le had lost. "Because you can hardly wish to rake up unpleasant memories. As for me,"' she confessed, "the remembrance ofHta certain six months burns and Stings. By the way, I had the pleas ure last week of refusing the hand of Charlie Duckett, the first of your frienefs to cut me, you lÄay remember. When I told him who I was he turned perfectly yellow." "Rae?1 said Lester, "you have never been out of 'my thoughts these years )ast. I want you I want you, Rae. I want you with all my heart." . She dropped him a mock curtsy. 'Jjpu. are very good, Lester," she said, ieirace softening a little. "But really one does not go through this twice. It was to tell you that that I permitter you to call. Saturday is not my at-home day. "Listen, Lester," she went on, with ringing scorn. "I left you because I was dragging you down. At that time I was heartbroken. Then I resolved thatI would show you what I could have;become. I did study grammar. I went" 'abroad and-learned singing in Rome never mind how. Anything can be done if one is determined enough. And I came back to show you what you had lost. Well, I have shown' you. I have had my revenge. And now let me tell you I have no further wish to lionize it among the shallow, heartless people of your set. Once I gave up my career for you. Now I have it again. And I -hate you hate you, Lester, and I never want to see you again." She spoke like a queen of tragedy But something in Lester's heart ros to match the passion in hers. 'T love you, Rae. and I'm going to win you again," he said. "Rae my Rae" And, as the tow kindles to the fire, suddenly the ice melted in Rae's heart. He was holding her in his arms and looking into her face. "Rae, you didn't mean that?" "Lester, I came back to hear you tell me what you are telling me now."

USES CALLIOPE IN CAMPAIGN

Happy Thought of Ohio Candidate That Saves Him Considerable Hard Work. A campaign innovation of Stephen A. StUlwell, recent candidate, for the Republican nomination for auditor of state, should be encouraged. It may mark an epoch In campaign noiKo, sometimes known as oratory, remarks the Cincinnati Times-Stnr. Mr. Süllwell, appreciating the people's predilection for a stentorian voice and not possessing strong vocal chords, rented a steam calliope. Draped upon its sides were succinct reasons why Mr. Stillwell should receive the suffrages of his party. And while the populace gazed at the legends and digested their significance, the calliope, with many a squirt and sputter, rendered everything from "The Star-Spangled Banner' down to "She May Have Seen Better Days." The advantages of a steam calliopeas a campaign orator are apparent It can make more noise than any Ohio speaker, with a couple of distinguished' exceptions. It relieves the. candidate, who, after coining a few phrases which a sign painter transcribes on bunting, sits back in. benevolent silence Instead of haranguing the populace. And finally it may be said that there Is as much political logic in the raucous notes of a steam calliope as in the turgid utterances of a campaign orator. HOUSEWIVES CURE OWN MEAT German Invention That Is Proving of Importance m the Fatherland Just Now. In the present time of economic difficulty in Germany many housewives; are confronted with the problem of accumulating such stores of preserved meat as possible, for that article of food is scarce. A new housewife device has been invented, however, which serves admirably to this end. The apparatus consists of a lacquered cylinder, which is provided with an interior dividing wall separating both halves of the cylinder. One portion is designed to hold the meat to be smoked, while the other is for the passage of smoke. Underneath is a small elyinder which serves to admit the smoke. This is so constructed that the smoke must first pass through the transmission compartment and enter the smoking compartment from above, in order to return finally to the fireplace. That an even distribution of the smoke may be achieved there is a perforated plateabove the smoking compartment In the large cylinder. This also serves to prevent the entrance of particles of soot and dirt. Two rings, are ,nro vided on which to support tlie meat.? Exchange. " Care for Soldiers' Teeth.
