The mental attitude which we al ways hold toward one work or our aim has everything to do with what we may accomplish. If you go to your work with the attitude of a slave who goes lashed to his task and see in it only drudgery; if you work without hope, seeing no future in what you are doing beyond getting a bare living; if you see no light ahead, nothing but poverty. deprivation and hard work all your life: if you think that you were destined to such a hard life, you cannilot eXpect anything else than that which you look for. If, on the other hand, no matter how poor you may be today. you can see a better future; if you believe that some day you are going to rise out of hum drum work. that you are going to get up out of the basement of life into the drawing room. where beauty, comfort and joy await you; if your ambition is clean cut and you keep your eye stead ily upon the goal which you hope to reach and feel confident that you have the ability to attain it. you will accom plish something worth while. The di rection of yotir effort will follow your eye. If that looks up as well as on, you will climb. That one quality of holding persist ently the faith in themselves and nev er allowing anything to weaken the be lief that somehow they would accom plish what they undertook has been the underlying principle of all great achievers, The great majority of men and women who have given civilization a great uplift started poor and for many dark years saw no hope of ac complishing their ambition, but they kept on working and believing that somehow a way would be opened. Think of what this attitude of hopeful ness and faith has done for the world's great Inventors -how most of them plodded on through many years of dry, dreary drudgery before the light came. and the light would never have come but for their faith. hope and persistent endeavor. What if they had listened to their advisers: Even those who loved them tried to beg them to give up the fool ishness of coining their lives into that which would never be practical or use ful. We are enjoying today thousands of blessings. comforts and conveniences which have been bequeathed us by those resolute souls who were obliged often to turn a deaf ear to the plead ings of those they loved best as they struggled on amid want and woe for many years.-Success. .

A CONVICTS ROMANCE ODD WAY IN WHICH A LIFE PRISONER WON HIS FREEDOM. The Story of the Construction of the Old Statehouse at Albany-The Price of a Genius Who Saw and Grasped His Opportunity. Vouched for by the late Henry Smith, who said he learned the fact through being speaker of the assembly, there is an interesting bit of history connected with the old statehouse at Albany, where it has stood for years, the finest example of pure Doric architecture in this country, on the easterly side of.Ea gle street, between Pine and Steuben streets, its walls and partitions all of solid stone, very much as if its halls, rooms and stairs had been carved out within a huge block of marble. It was cenpleted in 1842, costing the state about $350,000. It Is built entirely of Sing Sing marble, quarried and cut witlin the prison walls. The old capitol being inadequate to accommodate the increasing business of the state, this additioual building was planned and built and is still used for the offices of the state comptroller, the state engir -er and surveyor and the state banking department. In a spirit of economy it was decided to have as much as possible of the work done by the prisoners from the material found within the prison walls at Sing Sing, fairly good material, too, but not the best, as it Is a soft marble, as evidenced by the wear which now shows so plainly in the steps and by the crumbling of some of the stones from exposure to the weather. All the mate rial was cut to completion within the walls of the prison under such plans that when shipped to Albany there would be no further work necessary except practically to lay one stone up on another, and so on until the whole was assembled In the completed build ing. To accomplish this detailed plan a system of marking the stones was nec essary. The plans were carefully made and a system of marking elaborately laid out by the architect in charge, who found in the prison at Sing Sing a life prisoner whose record showed him to be an engineer of the highest ability and who seemed as competent as any man in the country to carry out the work to be done in the prison, and nat urally he was not unwilling to follow his chosen profession in preference to doing the manual labor of cutting or quarrying stone. So, following the spirit of economy referred to above, the plans in detail and the system of mark ng were turned over to him and the whole work at that end given over to his full superintendence and absolute control. In due time the stones in their vari os shapes and sizes and in quantity for the whole building were delivered in Albany andi tne work of construc tion commenced in accordance with the plans and system of marking original ly furnished. With the very first stone there was trouble. It not only did not fit the place, but none of the stones marked to adjoin it fitted it, and, fur ther, It did not seem ever intended for the place the number indIcated. In vestigation brought out that the stones were not of the sizes or shapes spec! fed and shown on the plans,. and, as to the system of marking, It was quite vident that the stones brought togeth er by it had no relation whatever to each other. The bewildered architect hardly knew whether he was a candidate for the asylum or possibly for Sing Sing. How over, a careful .verinication of his plans nd his marking system proved their correctness, and the blame fell square ly upon the civil engineer, the life pris oner. He was questioned, taken severe ly to task and roundly rated for his In competence and threatened and abused. He met it all calmly. "It looks to me like a mighty good joke on you fellows, Anyway it Is the best joke I have heard since I came to Sing Sing." As to their. continued threats he said: "What can'you do to a life prison Finally, in answer to the abuhse anid slurs as to his capabilities a.s.an en gineer, he said he had changed the y5las both in dimension and shapet where tieg had di~vei-ged from purity of style, 'and the system of marking he had changed1 altogether, ht'f they' could find some one who understood his system the 'building.Would go up compete andl perfect, excelling the orjgJ.al plan. "But," he added, with a igtu"you can probably- get out new stone a good deal quicker than you can work out my systeni." .-. e Ti the state officials said, "We will tal~you to Albany and force you to put up the building." He said, "No." - . They pointed out- the advantage of life in Albany for a time in preference to Sing Sing. He said, "No." They tried to bargain with him. He said, "Secure my pardon and I will stand by you until the building is complete." They offered to have him pardoned after he had proved what he said by finishing the building. He said, "No." Then theyv said they would compel him to do it anyway. He said he could be compelled t - work in prison, but not in Albany, an~ that even in prison they could compel him to do only manual labor unless he chose anti that the price of his genius in grasping the opportunity 'thal:.lfad come his way was a full pardon' What else was there to do? He was pardoned, and the old* state house stands today in testimony of the fact that he kept his word and a glorious ineiory to an unknown gen ius.-New York Herald.

People who have never been in a jungle talk of the sky as a painter talks of the horizon or a seafaring man of the offing-as if when you wanted to see it you only need use your eyes. But in the jungle you don't see the sky-at least you only see a few scrag gy patches of it overhead through the openings in the twigs and leaves. Nei ther do you feel the wind bolwing, nor get burned or dazzled by the sun, nor even see that luminary except by mo mentary glimpses about midday, from which it follows that a jungle man does not usually pretend to be weatherwise. If he does he is even a greater hum bug than the rest of the weather proph ets. On the afternoon about which we are speaking I remember setting forth on my walk in the still glow of the tropical calm and wondering rather at the intense stillness of the surrounding forest Then the air grew cooler and the green of the foliage in front seemed to deepen, and presently there was a sound as of a giant waterfall in the distance. Waterfalls do not, however, grow louder every second, whereas the nolse in front did so. Then there was a loud, angry growl, as of a dozen lions. A minute more and the whole jungle began to roar as if fifty squad rons of heavy cavalry were coming up at a gallop. Then came a drop of rain and a peal of thuuder which seemed to make the world stop. Then the storm began. The sky above darkened; the trees clattered; the brushwood beneath hissed and bow ed itself. A deluge of raindrops blot ted out . the narrow view. Down it came, soaking through the densest leaves under which one fled for refuge, striking t?le grass and sand with mil lions of ilull thuds, dashing furiously against the leaves as if they -were so many hostile shields, streaking the air with innumerable perpendicular lines and hurling itself down with the force of bullets. In such a downpour one may as well walk -and get wet as stand still and get wet. Unfortunately one did not know where to walk to. The "circumbendi bus system" presupposes the fact that the wagon wheels and bullock. tracks can be seen and n'oted, but .when the., cart track is no longer a cart track, but "all turned to rushing .waters," such tracks cannot be seen, and unless you have a pocket compass you may as well try to fly as to get back to where you came from. When one reads of travelers lost in the backwoods, they always steer by the sun-and probably very badly-but when there is no sun what are you to do?-Slam Press.

It is rather shy, but whein cornered, like the cobra, It raises its head and ex pads the hood before striking. Its food is chiefly other snakes.. "Less dangerous than these najas are the vipers, of which the most common species is the green viper, which reaches a length of two feet or more. The head is large and shaped like an ace of spades. This creature is a tree snake and very sluggish. The 'bungarus' are of several species, one, Bungarus fasciatus, of length up to four feet, being black with yellow rings. It is called the 'ular buku tebu' (sugar cane joints) by natives. There are also sea snakes of many species. The tail og a sea snake is iDattened and oarlike." Sarawak has other snakes: "Of the pythons there are two species. Py thon reticulatus grows to an enor mous size, over twenty feet. It is very fond of pigs, but varies its diet by various animals, including even children. The oil of this snake is used by Malays as an embrocation for - bruises. The other species of python, Python curtus, is interesting In that its flesh tastes like that of fowl-at least, so Dyaks say, and they are au thorities on snake flesh, for they eat a number of the large snakes."

The passion for dueling, which had cost France, it was said, between 7.000 and 8,000 lives during the twenti. years of Henry IV.'s reign, was at its height when his son came to the throne. The council of Trent in 1545 had solemnly condemned the practice of single combat, impartially includ ing principals, seconds and spectators in its penalty of excommunication. In 1602 an edict of Henry pronounced the "damnable custom of dueling Intro duced by the corruption of the cen tury" to be the cause of so many pite ous accidents, to the extreme regret and displeasure of the king and to the irreparable damage of the state, "that we should count ourselves unworthy to hold the scepter if . we delayed to repress the enormity of this crime." A whole series of edicts followed to the same effect, but it was easier to make edicts than to enforce them. Degradation, imprisonment, confisca tion of property, loss of civil rights and death were the penalties attached to the infringement of the laws against dueling, and still the'. practice pre vailed. In 1620 Richelieu published a milder form of prohibition. The first offense was no longer capital, a third only of the offender's property was to be confiscated, and the judges were permitted to recognize extenuating cir cumstances. A few months later the Comte de Bouteville thought fit to test the min ister's patience in this direction. The Place Royale had long been a favorite dueling ground, and De Bouteville traveled from Brussels to fight his twenty-second duel here, in the heart of Paris, in deliberate defiance of the king's authority. The result was not encouraging. Montmorency though he was, the count went with his second to the scaffold, and the marked de crease from that time in the number of duels may be attributed either to the moderation used in framing the law or to the inexorable resolution with which it was enforced.-Macmil Ian's Magazine.

ANCIENT LIGHTHOUSES. Benton. Lights For Mariners Coeval Waih the Earliest Commeree. Beci. .lights to. guide the wave tossed mnariher 'to a safe harbor must have been almost coeval with the earli est commerce. There ls' positive record that lighthouses were built in ancien) times, though few evidences now re main to us from old writers or In crum bled ruins. This is not strange, for light towers, never -the most stable architec tural form, were exposed to the storms of sea and war. The Greeks attributed the first light houses to Hercules, and he was consid ered the protector of voyagers. It Is claimed by some that Homer refers to lighthouses in the nineteenth book of the "Iliad." Virgil mentions a light on a temple to Apollo which, visIble far out at sea, warned and guided mariners. The Co lossus at Rhodes, erected about 800 B. C., is said to have shown a signal light from its uplifted hand. The oldest towers known were built by the Libyans in lower Egypt They were temples also, and the lightkeeper priests taught pilotage, hydrography and navigation. The famoustower on the isle of Pharos at Alexandria, built about 285 B. C., is the first lighthouse of undoubted record. This tower, con structed by Sostratus, the architect was square in plan, of great height and built in offsets. An open brazier at the top of the tower contained the fuel for the light At Dover and Boulogne, on either side of the English channel, were ancient lIghthouses built by the Ro mans. But the lighthouse at Coruna, Spain, built In the reign of Trajan and reconstructed in 1634, is believed to be the oldest existing lighthouse. A Friend That Was a Friend. .Don't frown-look pleasant.

Generally any kind of soft, sIbilant noise will tempt a bird to sing.' A ca nary hung in a kitd-hen will usually start his .song if he hears,, say, the friz zling of a frying pan. We utilize spe cial, devices to tempt the shy singer, who is perhaps rendered thle more bash-' ful by finding himself in novel sur roundings. For this purpose we em ploy whistles and song organs, which artificially reproduce the "tours" of the roller. This latter method is found to be irresistible when all other plans-have failed. The bird feels apparently that he is being challenged and forthwith responds to the challenge- by pouring forth the best of his song. -London Post - . . .-.Star'rlig to Death. -- Because h& stomach was so weak ened -'by..uikess druggihg that she could notaoat, Mrs. Mary H.
