Don't bo caught napping: bo on the alert and wide awake for whatever may turn up. Wo have clipped an arti cle this week entitled, "Success In Life," written by N. Julian Klock. which we deem worthy of your consul atlon. It Is replete with good advleo and sound logic, and will greatly beno tlt each and every one ol my numerous nephews and nieces If carefully followed out. SUCCESS IS LIFE. There Is a grandeur of ierloetlon In the great system of created things. In tho realization of a perfect creation we are conscious of thnt which is wanting In nothing requisite to completeness. That which is complete possesses the Inherent property ttf producing nn effect. Then a just Inference is that man crowns a complete creation, possesses 'capabilities. In possessing capabilities he has powers adequate to tho accom plishment of an object. Kvery ono Is capable of doing a work that no other can achlove. Reference Is now made to mental at tainments. To obtain tho highest prlvllogo men tally wo should have n thorough ac quaintance with self. To have a thor ough knowledge of our principal traits, Inclinations and passions is the first requisite to success. We are not all gifted alike. Ono has emlnont qualifications In ono direction, and another will have success by pursu ing an opposite course. Hut if tho talents ono possesses are not concen trated upon one thing no real success Is achieved. It would he an absurdity for one to think of being successful In any profession. Ik-ing endowed with a natural aptitude In some particular direction, this should govern the choos ing of a profession. ' One passes from childhood days to a more mature age with thought concern ing a course of action through life There may not always be a well dollnud Idea of what that course will be, hut there Is hope that life will not bo a failure. There may even be hopes that great success He just beyond a llttlo effort In sotno undertaking. The mind is often diverted from pros ent, say to tho obtainmont of eminence by at first gaining a position similar to ono for which others labored earnestly for years, with no thought perhaps of fame and honor. - When one with unusual mental en dowmonts is ushered into notoriousness by fine accomplishment of a great work, there Is of ten awakened In tho mind of another a doslro to do something at once that shall become a monument of everlasting renown. But to attempt to become great by following In another's footsteps will bring defeat. And then, too, some people are to set others on the road to success by dictating a pro fession that is entirely foreign to their capabilities. Much attention is often paid such suggestions and then some one gets Into the place assigned another in the sphere of action. Thus, progres' slon is restricted. Success la not ac quired. Hope is thwarted, beause the wrong course is pursued. Many are tolling on much discour aged because of repeated failures. Apparently circumstances are against such, but succoss will crown every our nest effort to overcome opposition. Tho assertion Is ventured that no one who bas taken the right course in life will meet an adversity too great to be over come. We cannot all have the high places in the world, but we all exist for some noble purpose. It may be a very humble work that requires doing, but It should be remenv bored that all honest work Is honorable. With a resolute will and earnest toll the humblest task may be ennobled AH are desirous of standing in the front ranks of achievement. This position is gained through per- aistont effort In some ono direction Decision of character (of which some people know but llttlo) is neoossary to the accomplishment of a purpose. The will of man is the propelling power of his nature. He may possess a a wondorful brain capacity but if irreso lute be will gain no prominence. To have success he must act with unfulter ing firmness, uot forguttlng that the . accomplishment of the great and noble purpose for which ho was creutea uo ponds upon bis own exertions.

Thm Tn Are Bonnd Tofetner In All Vp to liate Kdurmtlom. If n few years ago tnusio had been de clared to be as necessary in education as in mathematics or physics, the state ment would have been received with amazement, if not with derision. The early aim of common school education was the making of practical men mid I women, and by "practical" was meant I preparation for the ordinary bread winning affairs of life. Mot that the moral side of education was ignored. but it was believed that the threo B'l I and the hard and fast sciences, together with a general indorsement of religion and good ethics, were sufficient factors in character building and all that the schools should supply. Music, litera ture and drawing, if they found any place in the curriculum, were merely incidents that were not sufficiently practical to he requisites, uor waa their more subtle and potent influence on the character and the higher development of the mind appreciated or perceived. Ornamental they might be, but they were not believed to be useful. Only a visionary sentimentality considered these arts at necessary to poblio educa tion. Today art, in a broad sense, occu pies a far higher place in the regard of every educator of note and of every man who is alive to the interests of well balanced and symmetrical educa tion. In foot, the art influence in edu cation is coming to be adequately ap preciated, and art is no longer considered an incident in life, but rather the real ity itself. We are not attempting to detract from the nobility of labor. That educa tion which founds industries, which adds to the comfort of mankind, which makes possible the cnltivation of the arts, we must recognise, npbold and ad mire, but that sduontion whioh tells ns we are not altogether commercial machines; that to love something for its innate beauty and not for its pecuniary worth is wise and good; that by loving harmony of auuuu wo uiuj " ; love harmony of deeds; that nIle which speak to na of others' sorrows, making us forget self, may be of more worth in the end than much positive oieuce such edncution wo are begin ning to revere aud to see iu it tho most practical method of developing sweeter women nud uoblcr niou.

A worthy Welsh tiarouet, a member of one of the parliaments of William IV, was asked by one of his constitu ents, who chanced to be in town at the time, for an order of admission into the house.

In the library of Glasgow university there is a rhyming Biblo, the work of the eccentric old divine, Zachary Boyd. He conceived the idea of rendering the sacred book in rhyme, a task which had to some extent been undertaken bv sev- eral writers, among whom may be men tiouod the Saxon Caedmon and Tate aud Boyd's rhyming version of tho Psalms. Zacluuy Boyd gave full play to his imagination and produced a work of abiding interest and curiosity, though it 1ms never yet been priutod. -London Answers, Varbal Eccentricities.

Underwear, different colors, pearl butt n The Rnthachllils. AuKclm Rothschild hod five sons Ansnlm Mayer, Nathan, Holomon, James aud Carl who scattered over Europe and established branches of the parent bank ut Frankfort in Vienna, Loudon, Naples aud Paris. As early as 1820 they were the greatest bankers in the world, making a specialty of government loans. Honors and decorations were showered upou them by grateful kings, and they were recognized socially where other Jews were uot. They obtained titles of nobility in Englaud, Germany, Austria and Franco. A Kothschild bits been con sul general for the Austrian empire iu Loudon, Paris and Frankfort for more than half a nentury. The sous inherited the fiiuinoial genius of their father, but those win have studied their career In detail hold that the success of tho fam ily has bent due to the fact that its great busiuem tins always been conducted with a unity of aim and interest. The dying innnction of Anselm Rothschild to his arsis was thnt none of them should ver undertake an important financial transaction without consulting his mother and his brothers. This con tinues to be the rule of the bouse in the present generation. Kvery serious mat ter of business is the subject of mutual consideration and is carried out by the united efforts of tho whole family, every one of whom participates in the profits according to his position. While the great banks are in a measure seiia rate and dintiuct, they urn nevertheless the same, and the family, now very large, is a single firm with a siu.le in iterest They have made it a rule to inter marry and have defied the doctrine of tiie scientists who have forbidden the marriage of relatives on the ground thut it debilitates a race.

Some of my own tribe, however, were soldiers In the northern army during the elvil war. Some of them were tnlr n and held pris oners in thn rebel prisons, and the cruelty which, according to tho talcs they tell, was witnessed there was never outdone in border warfare with the scalping knifn mid tomahawk, and yet I believe tin ' had thn northern people been placed in thn south nmlcr like cir- cumstanu their prisoners of war would liuvo been treated with similar onif !:y .

While, I most heartily indorse the present policy of thn government in douling with onr people, I most admit. to be true to my own convictions. that I am worried over the ration sys tem, under which so many of our people are being fed on tho reservations. I greatly fear it may eveutuully vaga bondise many of thfin beyond redemp tion. It permits thn guthering of lazy, immoral white men of the worst stump, who spend their time in idleness and in corrupting Indian morality. Simon Pokagon in Forum. Splilera as Weather Prophets. One of the best of weather prophets is the solder. If there happens to bo a . web in tho secluded corner of the porch, watch it carefully for a few days or weeks, and the spider will unfailingly predict the coming of storms. When a high wind er a heavy rsm threatens, the spider may be seen tak ing in sail with great energy that is. shortening the rope filaments that sus tain the web structure. If the storm Is to be nnusnally severe or of long dura tion, the rops ate strengthened as well as shortened, the better to resist the on set of the elements. Not until pleasant weather is again close at hand will the ropes be lengthened as before. On the contrary, when you seo the spider run ning out the slender filaments it is cer tain that culm, fine weather has set in, whose duration may be measured by. their elongation. Every 24 hours the spider mukes some alteration in its web to suit , tho weather. It these changes are made toward even ing, Just before snnset, a fine, clear night may be sufcly counted upon. When the spider sits quiet and dull in the middle of its web, rain is not far off. If it be active, however, and con tinues so during a shower, then it wiil bo of brief durtition, and snushine will follow. Chicago Record. Meu With Memories. The advaiitnges of good memory to the historiun are obvious, and we find it said of Gil.Lcn that when he bad onctr read a book it v. us of no further us to him; it was as a sucked orauge and cculd bo thrown away. Carlyle like wise had a prodigiously retentive mind, while-of Macaulay's prowess in this' line there are many stories told. He" could read u book iu the time it would1 take another man to cut the Iciry and, notwithstanding this lightning rapidity, be know it all perfectly. Once, when crossing the Irish channel, he re peated to himself the whole of "Para dise Lost," and it was said that if all Milton's works were lost Macanlay conld have restored them from memory. While waiting in a Cambridge coffee house for a post chaise he picked up a country newspaper containing two po litical pieces, which he read once through and never thought of again for 40 years, when he was ablo to repeat them without the change of a single word. Household Words. Unfortunate Omission. One of the most singular instances of punishment for an oversight was that shown by the commitment of an alma nan maker to the Bastille in 1717. It was made out by order of tho Duke of Orleans, regent during the miuority of Louis V of France, and read as fol lows: "Laurence d'Heury, for disrespect to King George I iii i,t mentioning him in his almuuao as king of Great Brit ain.
