,4evcr Admit detest.
Never admit defeat or poverty,
though you seem to bo down and havo
not a rent. Stoutly assert your divine
right to be a man. to hold your head
up and look the world in the face; step
bravely to the front whatever opposes,
and the world will make way for von.
No one will insist noon your rights
while you yourself doubt that you possess
the qualities requisite for success.
Never allow yourself to be a
traitor to your own cause by undermining
your self-confidence.
There never was a time before when
persistent, original force was so much
In demand as now. The namby-pamby.
nerveless man has little show in
the hustling world of to-day. In the
twentieth century man must either
push or be pushed.
Every one admires the man who can
assert his rights and lias the power to
demand and take theui if denied bio.
No on;? ran respect tbe man who slinks
in the rear and apologizes for being In
the world. Negative virtues are of no
use in winning one's way. It is the
positive man. the man with original
energy and push that forges to the
front.?Success.
A New York physician in his roeenj
talk on physical culture for mothers
offers some very good advice concerning
useful exercise. It was a question
of giving proper direction to surplus
energy and of getting tbe mcut
out of it. To suggest to young mothers
that they should make their own '
beds and sweep their rooms, and thin
expand their chests and increase their
arm and back power. Is somewhat of
uu innovation in these days of progressive
gymnastics and movement cures.
Still, the idea has a very practical application.
It uarrows us down to the
consideration of the fact that Nature
provides in our every day work, with
its attendant possibilities, all the exer- j
cise we generally need. When we stop
to think how we ran combine the two i
it is often a matter of surprise. The
result is generally a two-fold enjoy- I
meut. So. too. the man who splits '
his own wood gets a double warmth j
from the effort. It is the extra glow
with profitable occupation that is '
thrown into the bargain before the fire !
Is made on the hearth. The principle
appeals to every sensible mortal. We
gain much more than a car fare by
walking to and from our offices.
