Shut OF All the Power When You Quit
Work at Night.
It is a great thing to learn to shut
off the mental! steam when you quit
work, says Orison Swett Marden in
Success Magazine. What would you
think of a factory manager who would
leave all of his power turned on after
the operators had left the factory, the
delicate machinery running every-
where, pounding itself to pieces, grind-
ing out its delicate bearings without
Many of us do
not turn off our mental power after
we are through producing or creating
for the day. We carry our business
home, take it to bed with us, think,
plan, worry and waste precious ener-
gy in all sorts of ways. in superfluous
thinking. foolish worrying that pro-
duces nothing, but grinds out the ex-
quisite mental machinery and unfits
it for the next day's work. It is a
great art to learn to shut off power
when through our day's work. so that
we can ofl our mental machinery. re-
fresh our minds and recuperate our-
selves, so that we can go to the next
day's work completely reinvigorated.
Many men seem to think that they
are accomplishing something if they
keep their minds on business even
when not at werk. but they really ac-
complish less than nothing because
they are wasting precious mental en-
ergy. the pewer for concentration, the
vigor, the focusing of the mind. which |
VON MOLTKE'S METHODS.
An Incident That Showed His Grasp
of Military Detail.
The parents of a young soldier, who
was a private in a Prussian cavalry
regiment during the Franco-Prussian
war, became very anxious about him.
Several battles had been fought and
they had received no news of their
boy. After some hesitation the father
went to see General von Moltke and
after a long wait was admitted to the |
presence of the great field marshal.
“What is your business?’ asked the
general. “Use as few words as pos-
sible.”
The visitor explained that he wished
to know the fate of his son, a private
in a certain regiment. Moltke smiled.
but not unkindly, and drew forth a
square of cardboard covered with dots.
lines and crosses of various colors.
“This line.” he said, “indicates the |
line of march of your son's regiment. |
‘These dots mark the distance of euch |
forced march. Tomorrow morning at
7 o'clock the regiment must be at this |
point here. Take note of the situa-|
tion.” He said no more, and the in-
terview ended. i
Long before the hour named the fa-
ther was at the point indicated on the |
map. Just before 7 o'clock the trum-
pets of the advance guard were heard |
in the distance. and precisely at the
hour the father saw his son.—London |

Olenty of Stability.
A western mining prospector was |
paying his first vizit to New York.
“What do you think of it?" asked the |
proud Gothamite. as he pointed out the
skyscrapers.

And All of Them Americans. i
An English visitor has recently been
expressing his wonderment at the fa-
cility with which America assimilates
its stream of immigrants. A friend
with whom he was talking on the
subject remarked. “My housemaid is
a Norwegian, my grover a Scotchman,
my butcher is a German, my druggist
is a Pinn. my barber an Italian, my

Quickly as It Came.
The sea of Galilee is not always
calm. The mountains immediately ad
joinging it are 2,000 feet high, al
through their deep gorges the storm
winds are sucked into the hollow of
the lake, so that sudden squalls come
literally out of a blue sky. One charm-
ing spring morning we started out to
sail from Tiberias to Capernaum.
There was not a ripple on the water
or a cloud in the heavens. But wheu
we were a quarter of a mile frou
shore out boatmen noticed a band of
rough water rushing toward us from
the other side of the lake. In spite
of our remounstrances they immediate
ly gave up the plan for making Caper
paum, took down the sai! with soch
frantic haste that they nearly upset
the boat and then rowed for the lan!
with all their might and with such ex
cited urgings to one another that w
thought them a cowardly crew. Iiut
hardly bad the boat been beached in =
sheltered cove when the wind wa;
howling down on us from the moun
tains and the heavy breakers were
foaming along the shore as far out
into the lake as we could see. A quar
ter of an hour later the sea of Galilee
was again as level as a mirror, and
only a soft, warm breeze was blowin:
over the smiling waters.—Travel Mag

A Trail of Twisted Trees.
All manner of devices have been em
ployed to mark a line of march, but ft
is thought that the most curious
method of “blazing the trail” is tha:
still to be seen in Africa. In the
year 1880, after a fierce battle with
the Abyssinians, the dervishes pur
sued their foes as far as the lake dis

There are only about twenty left of
this band of monkeys, which in some
mysterious manner came over from
Africa many years sgo and claimed
citizenship in Europe. They are pro-
tected by martial law. and any addi-
tion by birth to their number is care
fully chronicled und announced in the
jocal paper. The apes change their
place of residence from the highest
peaks of the rock to lower and more
sheltered portions and back again, ac-
cording to the state of the weather.
They show their sense of humor by
throwing stones at the soldiers. but
they are often not seen for weeks at a
time save in the early morning.
A few years ago. on account of the
diminishing numbers of these animals,
some apes were procured from Bar-
bary and turned loose upon the rock.
But resident monkeys killed them all.
Although so fierce to intruders of their
own kind. they never attack human
beings and are greatly beloved and
esteemed.—New York Press.
PIES FOR THE KING.
Ancient Custome That Are Still Kept
Alive In England.
The city of Gloucester, in England,
annually presents the king with a ple.
Almost from time immemorial Glouces-
ter until the year 1834 followed the
custom of expressing its loyalty to the
throne by sending to the sovereign a
lamprey ple. In 183+ the custom was
suspended. but it was revived in 1893
and has since continued.
it was felt that the year of the dia-
mond jubliee required some special ef-
fort. and therefore the 1897 pie. which
{ was in May dispatched to Balmoral
upon a gold dish. was of a more than
usually elaborate character. This ple
weighed twenty pounds and was
adorned with truffles, fine prawns on
gold skewers and aspic jelly. On the
top was a representation of the royal
crown and cushion. with a scepter to
which were attached streamers of royal
blue. and at the base were four golden
lions.
By the survival of an ancient cus-
tom the town of Yarmouth is bound
to furnish to the sherilfx of Norwich
annually a bundred herrings baked in
twenty-four ples. which are then sent
to the lord of the manor of East Clare
ton, who conveys them to the king.—

The Transformation of Percy.
His name was Johnny, and his ambi-
| tion was to be grown up. He had
watched Cissy and Percy, but that's
another storiette, as Kipling says.
“Papa.” he piped as he walked with
his dad on the beach, “what's under
those rocks?"
“Limpets!” snapped papa. This was
not the first question.
“Wouldn't they rather walk about,
pa?”
“No! rapped out pa. “They prefer
to cling where they are!”
“Is everything that likes clinging to
something else a limpet, pa?”
“For goodness—yes!" rounred father.
Johnny thought.
“Well, pa.” he concluded, “is Percy
a limpet, pa. when he says goodby to
Cissy in the passage?'—London Ap-
swers.
There Was a Coolness.
Two fashionable Philadelphia women
met in Chelsea one morning recently.
As they shook hands and stopped to
speak Mrs. Brown said to Mrs. Jones,
“That's a beautiful hat you are wear
ing.”
“Yes, my dear. Isn't it cunning? And
I'm so glad you like it. John gave me
the money, and I had it imported from
Paris.”
Next day little Susie Brown was
playing with the Jones girl. and she
sald. “My mother says your mother
has an ugly oid hat what is her last
year's lid made up new.”
And when Mr. Brown and Mr. Jones
reached a mutual friend's, hoping to
spend the week end together. they
found a coolness between the fami-
lies.— Philadelphia Times.
