LIFE ON EASY STREET."
It la an Ideal IMare and Worth Strlr.
Ina; For,
There are mure strong limbed, clear
tended, brave ueurteil people living on
Easy street tuau anywhere else In this
broad lnml, nnd their prime condition
Is the natural consequence of living
there, for, altliouirii you niny not bnve
thought of It, there Is a close relation
ship existing between good health nnd
the consciousness of getting on well In
life. You can see this for yourself If
you will note how n strong man droops,
like n frost nipped flower, who by some
mistake loses bis position, bis posses
sions or the esteem of bis fellows, one
or all. Shylock made a hard bargain
with a borrower, and In his effort to
foreclose the bond lost his cash and
won the contempt nnd scorn of all men.
Mental disturbance followed. Including
physical ill being, and, staggering away
from the Judge's bench and clutching
nt the air, he cried, "I am not well:"
But you need not go back so far to get
an Illustration.
And on the other band you can see
by observing for yourself how the gain,
or even the anticipated gain, of a home
on Easy street will make a sick man
well, quicken dying hopes into life and
change the water of sorrow Into the
wine of Joy. Itecent literature has re
minded us bow a happy turn In the
tide of the affairs of Joslab Wedgwood,
afterward to become the world's great
pioneer pottery artist and Inventor,
raised him from an Invalid's couch and
started him upon the road to affluence
and distinction among England's In
dustrial princes. Shnllarly Mary Woll
stonecraft, afterward the mother of the
poet Shelley's wife, 111 from neglect and
discouraged by hardships, was, by the
success of her modest ventures In lit
erature, heartened to undertake her
great life work, which soon yielded her
a handsome royalty.
Read the story of Angelina, who
lives on East street and has no desire
to move and lose her clear headedness
and her health. She was engaged to
be married to Allan. He was a clerk
receiving f 12 per week, and she earned
$S5 a month teaching school. After a
few years Angelina explained her con
tinued splnsterhood by saying that she
had given Allan time to develop Into
a larger money getter, and be had not
done It, so she decided against the ad
visability of exchanging an $85 a
month position for a $50 a month hus
band. It Is quite true that when pov
erty comes In at the door love flies out
of the window, but It Is not because
the Angelinas are without sentiment.
It Is because love cannot feed on In
competency and thrives best on Easy
street.
So the Importance of everything that
will aid any one to get on In the world
Is established on a sure foundation
the testimony of facts. We do not ex
alt mere money getting above those
qualities of head and heart which
make life worth living, but rather em
phasize the honorable getting of It as
a couserver of them. And hence the
wisdom of living on Easy street Cent
Fer Cent.
A Sort of No Man's Land.
Australia's least known and least de
veloped section Is the northern terri
tory. It Is a sort of no man's land. Its
capital, Falmerston, contains more Chi
nese than Caucasians nnd Is the only
place in greater Britain where the
Mongolian Ib the master and the white
man the servant. The climate Is very
trying to whites, and the aboriginal
blacks .are of a fierce and sanguinary
disposition. Vast herds of buffalo, the
descendants of a few experimentally
liberated a century ago, roam over the
plains, and the place will some day, it
is believed, be a sportsman's paradise.

PENGUINS FEEDING.
The Chans: That Takes rises Wham
They Enter the Water.
The appearance of the keeper of the
penguins at the zoo, with his pall of
live gudgeon, Is the signal for sudden
and intense excitement in the cages.
The penguins wave their little flippers
and waddle to tliu door, whence they
peer eagerly down the wooden steps
leading to the pool. The cormorant
croaks and sways from side to side,
and the darters poise their snaky heads
and spread their batlike wings. At the
water's edge the penguins do not
launch themselves upon the surface
like other water fowl, but Instantly
plunge beneath.
Once below water an astounding
change takes place. The slow, ungain
ly bird Is transferred Into.n swift and
brilliant creature, bended with globules
of quicksilver, where the nlr clings to
the close feathers, nud flying through
the clear and waveless depths with ar
rowy speed and powers of turning far
greater than In any known form of
aerial flight. The rapid nnd steady
strokes of the wings are exactly sim
ilar to those of the nlr birds, while Its
feet float straight out level with the
body, unused for propulsion or even as
rudders and as little needed In Its prog
ress as those of a wild duck when on
the wing.
The twists and turns necessary to
follow the active little fish are made
wholly by the strokes of one wing and
the cessation of movement In the other,
and the fish are chased, caught and
swallowed without the slightest relax
ation of speed In a submarine flight
which Is quite as rapid as that of most
birds which take their prey lu midair.
In less than two minutes some thirty
gudgeon are caught and swallowed be
low water, the only appearance of the
birds on the surface being made by one
or two bounds from the depths, when
the head and shoulders leap above the
surface for a second and then disap
pear. Any attempt to remain on the sur
face leads to ludicrous splashing and
confusion, for the submarine bird can
not float. It can only fly below the
surface. Immediately the meal Is fin
ished both peugulus scramble out of
the water nnd shuflle with round backs
and drooping wings back to their cage
to dry and digest. London Spectator.

good looks) I don't Bee why you should

Firmness of Purpose.
Firmness of purpose ' Is one of the
most necessary sinews of character
and one of the' best Instruments of
success. Without It genius wastes Its
efforts In n maze of Inconsistencies.

Freeoetons.
They mnst lave some very delight
ful little girls In England, to judge by
the anecdotes about them that creep
Into the press from time to time. Here
Is one of a slx-year-old which the Gen
tlewoman recounts with eujoymeut:
"She was rUiin.? with her aunt outside
one of the Hastings electric trams. As
it was proceeding nt n rather good pace
down a steep declivity the aunt was
obviously a little nervous. The child,
observing this, looked up sweetly Into
her aunt's face and snld: 'Are you
frightened, auntie? Because you can
take hold of my hand If you are!' "
On another occasion this little girl's
grandmother bad the misfortune to
have the leg of the sofa on which she
was reclining give way, and, although
It was repaired. It gave way a second
time. Thereupon a chair sufficiently
firm to support tlio aged and rather In
firm woman was bought, a fact which
her grandchild remembered In her
prayers that evening as follows: "I
thank thee, good Lord, for having at
last found a chair that my dear gran
nie can sit down upon."
Hon to Help Yourself.
Some time ago the head of a large
wholesale shoe business was In need
of an advertising manager. If he had
followed the usual practice he would
bnve gone outside the bouse and hired
a professional "ad. manager." But he
had a notion that the man who knew
enough about salesmanship and about
bis special goods to sell them on the
road could "make sentiment" for those
same goods by the use of printers' ink.
Therefore be put one of his crack sales
men Into the position and now pays
him $0,000 a year. And the man has
"made good" In great shape.
Nor does this merchant stop with
promoting men from the ranks of bis
organization. If a salesman In his
house makes a good showing he fas
tens him to the firm still tighter by
selling to him shares of good dividend
paying stock.
He knows one thing that too few
men In business do know that a man
can best help himself by helping oth
ers I Saturday Evening Post.
Lies In Dress Labels.
One may purchase In New York a
gown apparently made by any one of
a dozen celebrated French dressmakers
at any rate, It will bear the name and
address of the Paris bouse on Its waist
band which was made entire on this
side the water. Years ago a few of the
noted Paris dressmakers sold their
waistbands to foreign makers of
gowns. It Is said that one or two of
the other famous bouses found that
makers In other cities were counter
felting their wnlstband marks. Decid
ing to reap some benefit from what
they could not prevent, they began
selling marked waistbands to be at
tached to dresses made In London,
New York and elsewhere.
