What Is Success in Life ?
"By
JOHJW 2>. 'ROCKEFELLER.. Jr.
£ Mx 1 FT ICR all, what docs fame, glorv and wealth count for in this
, »« - world if we have not the realization that we are doing some
lapMjj tiling for our fellow men? If we cannot be our brother's kecp-
Jr tr wc can al least do something to speed him on in the struggle
for life, and when we have done this we have achieved a far
greater success than when we do something that benefits only ourselves.
"It is more blessed to give than to receive." Haven't we all found
it so? THE GREATEST JOY COMES FROM WHAT WE DO
FOR OTHERS, NOT WHAT OTHERS DO FOR US.
\\ hat a contrast there is in the view of success of life as defined by
Christ and the world's estimation of success in the present time. Humili
ation and death itself are the conditions of success in the career of
C hrist, while to-day in the world'" estimate the successful man is he
who has either won martial glory, achieved victories in statecraft, won
laurels in a court of justice as a great lawyer, amassed great worldly
goods or in some other way has strewn for himself a path of roses, sur
rounded himself with all the comforts of life, if not with vainglory and
pomp. Such is the ordinary view the world takes of success nowadays.
Tt is natural for us to view s-'.ess this way, BUT OUR IDEAL
OF SUCCESS IS WRONG, i.et the proud and haughty stride with
superior tread, with laurels of earthly triumph on their brows. They
are in the final analysis not more successful than the lowly who patient
ly bear defeat, but keep on striving. Success is not measured bv money.
'1 lie poor man may be far more a success than the rich man, after all,
for he is used to defeat and his character is made all the stronger.
I am not saying that the man who goes forward in the world in
whatever walk of life and leads his fellowmen in this or in that is not
entitled to praise for his endeavor. The statesman who achieves glory,
the lawyer who wins honors, the scientist who distinguishes himself by
wondrous discoveries—all these deserve the unstinted praise of their
fellow men and are, indeed, successful men. 'I hat is, however the nar
row view of success. The lesson of Christ shows that the hi her suc
cess on earth is essentially linked with martyrdom, self-sacrifice, altru
ism.

EUECTRICITY Wllih THE
PLifICE OF STEAJVI
By FRANK SPRAGUE, Prominent American Engineer
- . . =*
| UX I kl( Il\ is fast replacing steam, and soon the
steam locomotive will be a thing of the past, and be
|P I superseded by the electrical locomotive. The change
a, . I is coming faster than most people think,
g- . VigSffl In my opinion London will see the first general
m *''' electrical force on transportation. London is
- : -rrw# behind the cities of our country in the matter of trans
portation, and is but awakening to the needs of the
metropolis of the world. But within a very few years London will be
gridironed with transportation lines underground, and they will be
electric lines.
The English railawys centering in London will follow the lead of
the new underground lines, and will discard their steam locomotives so
far as suburban traffic is concerned. Gradually and yet rapidly the dis
tance at which electricity is used will be extended, until every mile of
railway in Great Britain will be equipped with the new propelling force.
America has led up to the present time in utilizing electricity, and
will not be far behind England in its general adaptation to all lines of
railway. Niagara will furnish the power that will run the trains for 200
miles around Buffalo, and other water power will supply the force
where Niagara leaves off, until our whole country will be covered by a
network of electric lines out of which we will get better speed and bet
ter service than we are now getting from steam.
The Servant Problem of To=Day
By MRS. HARRY HASTINGS,
President of the Mothers' Club of New YorH.
WPPJHERE must he a distinct business agreement between employer
an( l employed if this desertion from the ranks of the serving
women would be stopped. In every trade of men or women
now they are advancing 011 that basis, and so it must be in the
—*£— household. WOMEN WILL NO LONGER BE DRUDGES
< >l\ MENIALS. If she is to serve in a household she must know ex
actly what she is to do and how long she is to labor.
She must have hours that begin as promptly as the hours governed
by the factory whistle, and she must have hours that stop just as prompt
ly. I-or extra hours she must be paid, and if she is to live in the house
she must lia\e her part of the house. She must be permitted her recre
ations, her hours of rest, and they must never be broken into.
No one denies that a good servant in this city is able to save more
money than the girl that works in the factory or shop, for she has only
to buy her own cloth, s out of her wages, but I do not blame them for
preferring the physically harder life. THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE IS
INI >l.l ENDENCE, and so soon as the housewife realizes this and al
lows the serving woman to exercise it, so soon will she find it easier to
obtain enough assistance in the running of the house.
TWO-LINE PHILOSOPHY.

If \ou analyze the ingredients of success you will seldom find
any great proportion of luck among them.

It i-. quite as dangerous to crowd 100 much knowledge into a
fool's head as it is to put u loaded gun into hi hands.
When sou go looking for a job leave \otir hard luck stories «t

Wnter !Vo\v Wasted.
Investigations by the United States
geological survey are now in prog
ress in northern Wyoming with a
view to extending the use of the
available water supply in thai portion
of the state. Jeremiah Altert, an en
gineer of the geological survey, is in
charge of the work. Particular atten
tion is directed to the eastern slope
of the Bighorn mountains, where im
portant storage problems on the
headwaters of the Sulphur. Powder
and Tongue rivers await Solution.
These streams, after leaving the
mountains, flow through fertile
bench and valley lands, which, with
proper irrigation, would be valuable
for agricultural development. Tie
rainfall of titiat region is light during
the t.ime water is needed for irriga
tion, but the winter r.nows on tfce
mountain slopes are unusually he.uy
and furnish large quantities of water
to the streams. The source of supply
at present is an extremely unsatis
factory one, for the warm rains of
spring meli the snow rapidly and pro
duce disastrous floods, in which la'ge
quantities of water pass through ihe
streams unused.
There are, however, a number of
lakes in the region, favorably sit nit.-
ed to be used for storage. One of
these is Lake de Smet, whose wa er
surface as said to be 30 feet below lie
lowest part of its rim. In this lake it
is proposed to store part of the hetel
waters of the Powder river, thus siv
ing a large body of water for irriga
tion which is now entirely wasted.
Mr. Ahem has been engaged during
the present summer in gauging the
flow of the streams on the eastirn
slope of the Bighorn mountains and
in investigating the possibilities a»el

region.

The Blood.
The blood is life. Wederive from the blood
life, power, beauty and reason, as the uoc
tors have been saying from time immemo
rial. A healthy body, a fresh appearance,
and generally all the abilities we possess
depend on that source of lite. It is, there
fore, the duty of every sensible man to
keep the blood as pure and normal as pos
sible. Nature, in its infinite wisdom, has
given us a thermometer indicating the state
of the blood, which appeals to our reason
by giving notice of its impurity. Small erup
tions of the skin, to which we scarcely pay
any attention, headache, ringing noises in
the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness, are gen
erally a sign that the blood is not in nor
mal state, but is tilled with noxious sub
stances. These symptoms deserve our full
attention. If more attention were paid to
these symptoms and steps taken to remove
them, then many illnesses from which we
suffer would become unknown, and the hu
man body would become strongerand health
ier. Attention, therefore, should be paid
to those warning signs, and the blood can
be purified and poisonous substances re
moved from it by the use of Dr. August
Koenig's Hamburg Drops, discovered more
than 00 years ago.
