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. (T '■* 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. Bv Wright A. F'atterson. If \ou analyze the ingredients of success you will seldom find any great proportion of luck among them. W 011 \* what you are !>e-.t tit ted to do, if you can it to do; ii not, do the bci-t . t what von can get to do.

TO UTILIZE SNOW tfATER. Plan* for irrigating Kill Kencli Lamln In Wyom'ny by .Yleaiis of 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 probable cost of water storage in the region. tiH-lUrh-ttniok Scheme. Jones—Green sent a dollar to a man vho advertised a plan for making a quarter yield 300 per cent, profit in less than two minutes. Brown—So? And did he get the desired information? "He certainly did.

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.
