People who are never thrust into responsible positions never develop their real strength. This is one reason why it is so rare to find very strong men and women among | those who have spent their lives in | subordinate positions, In the service | of others. They go through life com- | parative weaklings because their pow- ers have never been tested or devel oped by having great responsibility | thrust upon them. This thinking has | been done for them. They have simply | carried out somebody else's pro- | gramme. They have never learned to | stand alone, to think for themselves, | to act independently. Because they have never been obliged to plan for themselves they have never developed the best thing in them—their power of originality, inventiveness, initiative, in- dependence, self reliance. their possible grit and stamina, The power to cre- ate, to make combinations, to meet emergencies, the power which comes from continuous marshaling of one's forces to meet difficult situations, to adjust means to ends, that stamina or power which makes one equal to the great crisis in the life of a nation, is only developed by years of practical training under great responsibility. There is nothing more misleading than the philosophy that if there is anything in a youth it will come out. It may come out and it may not. It depends largely upon circumstances, upon the presence or absence of an ambition arousing, a grit awakening environment. The greatest ability is not always accompanied by the great- est confidence or the greatest ambi- tion. There 1s at this moment enough pow- | er latent in the clerks or ordinary em- ployees in almost any of our business houses to manage them as well or bet- ter than they are managed today If the opportunity and necessary emer- gency came to call out this dynamic force. But how can clerks who remain be- hind counters measuring cloth, selling shoes or hosiery, year in and year out, ever know what latent power for or- ganization or executive ability, what initiative they possess? It is true that some of the more ambitious and cour- ageous get out and start for them- selves, but it does not follow that they are always abler than those who re- main behind. Sometimes the greatest ability is accompanied by great mod- esty and even timidity. Then, again. employees conscious of great ability are often deterred from taking the risk of launching out for themselves be- cause of possible disaster to those de pending upon them for dally bread. But thrust great responsibility upon a man, drive him to desperation, and the demand will bring out what there is In him. It will call out his initiative, his ingenuity, his resourcefulness, his self reliance, his power to adjust means to ends. If there are any elements of leadership in him, responsibility will call them out. It will test his power to do things.—Success. The Last Execution at Tyburn. The last execution at Tyburn took place on Friday, Nov. 7, 1783, In the person of John Austin, convicted on the preceding Saturday of robbing John Spicer and cutting and wound- ing him in a cruel manner. In Wal- ford’'s “Old and New London” it is er- roneously said that “the last criminal executed here was one Ryland, who was hanged (sic) for forgery in 1783.” William Ryland was executed on Aug. 20, two months before the date of Austin’s conviction, and many a poor wretch made the Zatal pligrimage to Tyburn in the interval, hanging by wholesale being the rule in those days. The long procession westward had been attended by such disgraceful scenes that the authorities resolved to hang criminals henceforth outside New- gate prison, straight from the con- demned cell. Accordingly on Dec. 8, 1783, the recorder ordered the erection of a scaffold in front of the jail, of which a notice and descriptive engrav- ing appear in the Gentleman's Maga- gine for the same month, and on the 10th the new hanging place was in- augurated by the execution of ten malefactors.—London Notes and Que- How would you like to pay $100 for a single meal? There was a time when this question would have seemed absurd, but now, with our rapidly growing wealth, ‘t excites little com- ment. Yes, $100 a plate banquets are | pot uncommon amoung the Four Hun- dred, and $40, $50 and $60 a plate are quite ordinary charges for twentieth century banquets. To the ordinary mind, however, it is not easy to imag- ine a list of delicacies expensive enough to foot up such an amount or an appetite so expensive as to desire them. Nightingales’ tongues and hum- ming birds’ wings, washed down with the costliest wines, would not satisfy the up to date diner, however. The caterer does not depend entirely upon | his chef and his steward for the suc- cess of great “functions.” Artists and mechanical genuises are his chief as- sistants. He must be able to trans- form a New York banquet hall into a plaza in Venice, a corner of old Japan or an ancient Greek or Roman palace, as his guests’ taste or whim may dic- tate. Fads of millionaires and the fancies of clubs and societies always seeking the unusual have brought to pass the $100 a plate dinner. The production of the surroundings they demand ne- cessitates the outlay of thousands of dollars for each separate banquet. It would never do to have two banquets alike, as goes without saying. There was recently given in a new hotel in New York a bachelor dinner st which the guests were seated in a corner of Venice. The effect was a masterpiece of scenic art and electrical ingenuity, and that, quite as much as the rich viands, was what the host wanted and was paying for. The doors along the corridor at the sides of the great banquet hall were removed, and in their places balustrades were set to give the appearance of Vene- tian balconies. Beyond stretched a transparency 150 feet long and twenty feet high, showing most realistically a street in the city of canals. Between this and the dining room was & wa- terway on which plied a gondola with a party of troubadours, who played and sang as they passed to and fro. The tables were set about the room, at one end of which a beautiful gar- den of growing palms and flowers had been laid out, in its center a fountain which tossed its light spray almost to the ceiling. Thousands of tinted elec- tric lights shed a soft blue illumination over the whole, giving the effect of Italian twilight. One could scarcely realize that shut out oniy by the stur- dy walls of the hotel and thick hang- ings were the glare and rumble of Longacre square. But there is an endless variety of elaborate and picturesque effects cre- ated for the twentieth century diner. New York furnishes the most striking examples and the most numerous, though London and Paris vie with her for the honors of extravagance. Mme. Madeleine Lemaire’'s dinners are per- haps the most notable of Paris. She has a special fondress for the an- clent in effects, and in a Grecian court her guests sit at a Greek feast and fill the room with their singing. An- other striking effect followed a supper to a notable visitor from abroad. The guests were led to a room which had Medical. ara RRH.

A great dining palace seats from 1.500 to 2.000 persons, all of whom must be served simultaneously and each of whom must be served as if he alone were to | be considered. This gives some iden perhaps of the banquet manager's task. | The office of this modern magician suggests, with its roll top desk, its typewriter and its telephone. the office of any manager of large enterprises. Here he meets the people playing the part of hosts and goes over the details of the entertainment’ with them. He suggests, consults, advises and decides on each item not only of the menu. but of decorations and of service. Fre- quently and particularly in the case of clubs and societies he is offered a fixed figure and must lay out a scheme to come within its limits. When the commercial arrangements, so to speak, have been made he sits down to map out his campaign. A typewritten plan is sent to the steward showing just what his department may be required to do, another to the deco- rator. another to the electrician, one to the head waiter, one to the chef, one to the wine keeper and one to the “oonfectioner of souvenirs.” These are the banquet manager's trusted lieutenants, without whom his success- es would be little more than frantic endeavors.—New York Letter in What To Eat.

Just before the callers arrived the maid said confidentially: “Shall | go out and telephoue to you while they are here?” “Telephone? exclaimed the mistress. “What on earth should you telephone to me about?” “Qh, anything,” responded the maid. *] always did it at the last place I worked and the place before that.

It is undoubtedly America’s Greatest Medicine for America’s Greatest Disense—Catarrh. i | In the tower of London are yet preserved | some of the relics of the past, when men | used ‘‘the thumb screw and the rack for | the glory of the Lord.” Some of these in- | struments of torture are dyed deep with | the blood of the unfortunates who suffered | from them, and many of these sufferers ' were women. We shudder at the thought and yet women to-day, are undergoing a slow torture, incomparably more severe than the torments of the fortune chamber. When the nerves are racked ceaselessly, when the day is joyless and the night is sleepless, many a woman sees the gaont, wild-eyed tom of insanity clutching at ber in the darkness. Even insanity, when caused by disease of the womanly organs, has been cured by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It bas cured St. Vitus’s dance and other forms of nervous disease. It isa medicine remarkable for its direot action upon the delicate female organs, and its wonderful healing power.
