T HAY SEEM somewhat paradoxical to say that a girl may
take too much interest in her work, but it is nevertheless true.
Of course, thero iB the class of girl (and she might bo
called almost typical she js so numerous) who is merely poised,
so to speak, on her position temporarily, waiting until she
shall flutter away to a husband and a home, but there is also
the girl who becomes so wrapped up in her work that only
on the rarest occasion can she take a peep beyond the narrow
horizon that bounds it. ' ,
She works early and late until she is practically a nervous

f course, it is a truism that she who'wishes to succeed must put her
heart into her work. This is eelf-jevidefit.
ut thero is a sane and safe level between neglecting one's work and
for that and nothing else. ! '),
e good worker should also bo the good player, and above all sho
tl learn to dron her work when she leaves the office or schoolroom

base of operations.

"I am' going home," was the remark
made to me by a friend and I immediately
responded by asking: "Where is your
home?" And the reply came: "In a flat
building." But homes are few and flats

To illustrate tho power and beauty of
mathematics I have proposed the following
problem : What is the amount in cents from
the year 1 till 1910 of one cent compound
ed annually at six per cent, interest?
The problem is easily solvable by means

The nximber of cents is approximately
a figure with 49

If all of these cents were mado into one
solid sphere it would have a radius of ap-
ximately 370 times the distance of the earth to the sun, i. e., 370 times

Tho Genevievo that I am going to
tell you about is a noble woman. And
besides that, she is suro that everyone
olso ought to be a noble woman, too.
Sho used to say to a flirtatious girl
friend: "I do not seo how you can
justify yourself in acting to Clarence
as If you enjoy his society, when only
last, week you told mo you wero in
lovo with Wllyum. This -is not the
course of a truly noblo girl; and I al
ways thought-you had such high stand
ards, too."
Then her friend would say: "Oh,
goodness, of course, I am in lovo with
Billy; but I can enjoy tho society of
piarence too, can't I? Billy knows
all about Clarence, anyway, and, be
sides, thero isn't anything to know. He
is Just funny well, ho is a llttlo in
lovo with me, but not enough to hurt.
Why, it isn't important."
Then Genevievo-would feel awfully
about it, and make it the subject of
serious conversation, compelling gay
llttlo Clara to turn herself Inside
out as to action, and chasing every
llttlo motive to its lair with utter un
relenting. Well, in tho course of time Gene
vievo married, and tho James sho ac
quired was one "of those blunt-featured,
good-enough looking Jameses
who build bridges and know about con
struction and concreting and steel
girders, and tho strength of tho span
and things like that things requiring"
somo concentration and nico calcula
tion, and an absolute knowledge of
matters and a power of taking re
sponsibility; because otherwise things
might fall down rather disastrously.
Thus, in his curious masculine way,
James had qulto'a conscience him
self. Well, ono day after they had been
married awhile, James happened to
mention that Johnson had been in tho
office looking for a Job. Ho said
Johnson was a good man and ho
thought they would put him to work.
Genevievo looked at him in dumb
horror but it didn't stay dumb.
"Do you mean to tell me, James,"
sho said, in as sepulchral a tone as so
said: "Well, Genevieve, we need our
Job, I am not arranging matters for
my firm, thank you."
"Genevlove," says James somo time
later, "two - of the men I graduated
from Tech. with aro in town and I
would llko to bring them homo to din
ner tomorrow. I guess I'll bring a
quart of fizz with mo. They'll llko it."
"I will bo very glad to welcome your
friends, James," Bays Genevieve, "but
I draw the line nt liquor. It shall
never como under my roof."
"Why," says tho bewildered James,
"you used not to mind "
"That was before I had a serious re
sponsibility of bringing up a child prop
erly," says Genevievo.
"But Jlmsey is only three months old
what harm can it do him?"
Well, Genevievo was right enough,
perhaps. Sho know Just what tho at
mosphere of tho home ought to bo from f
the first, and sho was going to keep it
that way. And she did.
Jlmsey kept on growing up and tho
atmosphere of tho homo came to bo
something llko this Jlmsey being
three years old and a capablo young
citizen.
"Doesn't little son know that it is
very wrong? Isn't Jlmsey sorry? Why
isn't Jlmsey sorry? But Jlmsey ought
to bo sorry. Oh, Jlmsey, you hurt
mamma so when you aro not sorry.
.Doesn't Jlmsey know that his llttlo
heart ought to bo clean and good?"
And all that llttlo Jlmsey really needs
fs a light but rapid hand applied ex
ternally a moment, and tho words,
spoken in a clear, calm voice, with a
downward inflection: "You mind me."
Soon Jlmsey would learn to recognize
kindly authority, and after awhile be
old enough to see tho value of exorcls-
Jng authority over himself.
But James is told about Jlmsey and
ho, too, must look sorry and probe aft
er finer feelings, whilo Genevievo
says: "I don't seo where ho got such
a disposition but, perhaps, if ono ap
peals to his better nature! " And
then she looks at James and James'
better nature all curls up and crawls
into its nest and hibernates, while his
worse naturo is .on tho job, trying to
dodgo this noblo -woman's caso of con
science. James' firm now says: "Ho is a good
man, but you have to let him pro
ceed on his own lines. Well; he is
worth thousand's every year to us."
Genevieve's friends say: "Sho is a
lovely character, and .isn't it a pity
that her husband has such a cold,
hard naturo? And as for that child, he
Is such a torment."
And Genevieve's very dearest friends
say: "Heavens, how sho does nag that
poor man! And as for Jimsey!"

"It Shall Never Come Under My Roof."
happy a now-made wlfo could say it,
"do you mean to say that you consid
er Mr. Johnson a good man?"
"None better in his lino," replied
James cheerfully. "Ho Is a cracker
jack at handling men, and wo need
such a man just now, having to start
on a big bit of construction work very
soon."
"James," walled Genevieve, "James,
do you mean to say that you have for
gotten that Mr. Johnson Jilted Dorothy
Blake? That they were engaged and
ho flirted with that horrid Mrs. Ran
bier till it broke Dorothy's heart?
Do you call a man llko that a good
man?"
"Oh, by tho way, that's a fact," ob
served James oulusely, "ho did rather
go the pace last year. But I saw Dor
othy out with young Mlllyuns yester
day, and it looked as though he was
mending her heart all right. And John
son is a peach to manage men."
"But, James, you do not understand
mo," urged Genevieve. "Mr. Johnson
Is not a good man. He is a very bad
man, Indeed, and I should think my
husband would have too much princi
ple to employ him."
"Oh, is that what you're getting at?
Well, Blako is a fine executive, Gene
vievo, and tho firm ought not to recog
nize llttlo personal affairs. After all,
Mrs. Ranbler was a widow, so thero
wasn't anything actually criminal
about it, was thero?" James heard a
few of his Genevieve's serious views
during tho honeymoon and before, but
ho simply looked at her with admira
tion as a peach of a good girl, you
know. It did not interfere with busi
ness. But this tlmo it was serious, indeed,
and Genevieve gavo James mighty lit
tle rest about it. At last, sho was told
that sho did not understand business.
Then sho inquired if her husband was
to lower bis standard of right and
wrong for racro business; and James
looked at her a bit quizzically and
Humiliating.
That the motorist was rich beyond

thing went to show; and he stood
haughtily silent when the magistrate,
in the usual form, asked him If he had
aught-to say why sentence should not
bo pronounced.
Haughtily silent and with lip slight
ly curling ho stood.
"It is tho order of tho court, then,"
the magistrate went on, "that you pay
a fine of $1 "
"Ono dollar?" the motorist gasped.
"One dollar and costs nmountlng
to 57 cents."
The man's panoply of disdain was
broken through. Ho winced visibly.
A shadow of pain flitted across his
face.
"Mon Dieu! Is thero nowhero in
this mob-ruled land that -a person of
real consequence may exceed tho

ho cried.

Language Stud!e3 In Dutch Schools.
"While the percentage of educated
persons in Holland is not greator than
in the United States I am inclined to
think that more attention is given in
the public schools of Holland to in
struction in foreign languages than
there is in this country," said J. A.
Grutterink, an engineer of Tho Hague,
hero on a mission for his government.
"In our Dutch -schools it is part of
tho course of instruction to teach tho
three principal languages French,
German and English.
"When a pupil reaches the period of
graduation ho must tako an examina
tion in theso languages as well as in
other studies. It therefore is not
strange that a person of fair educa
tion in Holland is able to speak Eng
lish understanding at least."
Lights on Battlefields.
One would suppose that powerful
searchlights would lllumlnato fields of
battle best by night, in order to dis
cover and bring in tho wounded. But
experiments in France provo tho con
trary. They are of small benefit, be
cause the slightest obstruction such
as a house or slight irregularity on
tho earth's surface will create a
great cono of shadow, within which
nothing can bo seen. Tho best devico
tried so far is tho individual acety
lene lamp, carried on the backs or in
tho hands of the hospital qorps when
going over tho field with their litters.
