WHAT MAKES POPULARITY ? Chmmotor, Klndnms, Tact Are Among Moat Important Factors. There Is now and then a man whs poeea aa caring nothing for the opin? ion of the rest of mankind, and aa alike Indifferent to their esteem and good will or thesr condemnation and dislike. "Poses" is used aJvlsedly, for no normal msn ever took such an attitude genuinely, and the assump? tion of It can usually be sccounted for by a desire to gain notoriety and be talked about as a singular person, different from, and superior to, the maaa It Is, of course, possible, and It Is not Infrequent occurrence, for a man to find his opinion and conv'c tlons In sharp opposition to those of the community in which he Is. la auch case If he is a man of couruge and conscience, whlls he would prefer to bs in accord with his neighbors, he must. If need be, be true to himself first, no matter what degree of popu? larity has been his or to what extent his standing to his colors may forfait It. Ons self-approving hour whole years outweigh, Of stupid stares and of loud hussars. While this is true, there is a popu? larity which Is legitimate and desir? able, and which Is entirely proper for a man to seek and cultivate. To some men It comes without effort; in fact, seems to be one of the gifts they wore born to. For others It appears to be unattainable, no matter how much they may strive for It. There are a few men who are exceptionally attrac? tive and likeable, by temperament and disposition, carrying with them everywhere an atmosphere of kindli? ness and good humor, always unsel? fish and obliging, and endowed with such graces and charm that everyone likes and praises. "The most popular man In his class." "the royal good fellow," on everybody's Hps, Is born, not made. Nevertheless, a man without extra? ordinary gifts, If he but possesses tact, which can be acquired, may. by patience and Judicious care and effort, make himself universally popular. H< must. In the first place, of course, have the solid basis of character worthy of esteem if he wishes to be? come generally liked for other quail ties. Then he must proceed by ul wsys, under all circumstances, shew? ing the true kindness-?which springs from a good heart. It is. perhaps, the most Important thing of all, the ens quality which were It pnlversal, would transform the earth. The man who never forgets to be kind whenever there Is opportunity has laid the cornerstone of a sat'sfy- I Ins; popularity. Kindness in its broad , sense implies fairness also. If you uro kind to a person you must of necessi? ty, If called on to judge him or to de? cide between his Inrests and those of another or your '<wn, bo fa*i b# him. There Is nott 1 ig a man fot-ls sooner or more keen y than a Inck of fairness in the treatment he receives. The demand for it springs from the same univrsal Instinct that claims Jus I ?ice, which ?s fairness. The ve?*y ehll i^rei understand \t, and are quick to cor.f.emn anything in their work or g:\ines that "is n ?t fair." Kindn<?? alto carr ? s with it unvarying courto*/ and politeness, even to those who are ? hurllsh and rude. Nothing goes fu. - ther in disarming dislike and trans? mitting indifference into liking. When you are a host treat all your guests, no matter what differences may exist between them, with equal attention and consideration, and let your inter? course with them be conversation, and not talking all on one side. Kindness also in its full sense is not confined to demeanor, but includes generosity. A man to be popular must not only be ready, but must have the disposition to share what is good and desirable with his friends and companions, and to be? stow of his abundance upon the needy. It Is better to help as many as you can, even If It be but a little, rather than to do a great deal for a few. It is Important to remember, too, that even kindness must be exer? cised with tact or it may defeat Its own object. A tactful man can refuse, a request and make a friend where a blundering, blunt, untactful one will alienate a friend In granting a favor. Tact is the indispensable social lub? ricant without which, no matter how well adjusted the machine may be, there will be friction and unpleasant creaking. These are the main points which a man should keep in view who desires popularity. There are a few minor ones. Dress as well as your income admits, but always without ostenta? tion or display, and always with scru? pulous neatness and cleanliness. Never put on any airs, and never try to Imitate the style or manners of anyone else. Be perfectly natural and unaffected. Some very good peo pl bring themselves into ridicule by little mannerism and affectations which they have somehow come to think are agreeable or desirable to distinguish them. There cannot be a greater mistake. In short, if you want to be popular, and it is a laudable desire, be always kind and always a lady or gentleman. If you are always kind in a genial, tact? ful way and always a lady or gen? tleman you will be popular, whether you want to or not.?Cincinnati In? quirer. Terrible Croup. My little boy, who is four years old. has suffered a lot with croup. On several occasions w thought he was gone. After trying all the old time remedies and most of the new, I came home one night at midnight, and my wife said: "The boy has the croup again?suppose you get a bot? tle of Hyomel." "More Junk," I said, "but we will olrculate our mon? ey so they will all get some." I hastened to an all night drug store, brought It home. In five min? utes he was breathing easier, In fif? teen minutes he was sound asleep. It broke the croup so quickly it scared me.

IV. SIliERTS DltUt. hiOKE. STATES TO GET A SHAKE. Jamefl R. Garneld Discusses Rental Of Water Powers. Washington. Feb. 18.?All of the Administration bills providing for conservation of natural resources will be considered by a subcommittee of the Senate Committee on public lands* to be composed of Senator Smoot (chairman), Clark, of Wyoming; DIxon, Chamberlain and Hugcs. Hear ings will be given. A hearing was given today by the full committee on Public Lands to former Secretary of the Interior James R. Garneld. He discussed chiefly the bill relating to the de , velopment of waterpower through the 1 leasing of the public land adjacent to I the water. As a general principle he approved the proposition of Secretary Ealllnger, but suggested a number of changes, which convinced the com? mittee that considerable attention must be given to the questions Invol? ved. Mr. Garfleld is of the opinion that the waterpower should be developed by co-operation of the Federal and State governments. He suggested that 25 per cent, of the proceeds from rentals be paid by the national Government to the Staes in which the power is developed; and later said the States might be given as much as 75 per cent, of the rentals. The Loyal Element In India. A striking development In India in connection with the agitation of the Hindus for the expulsion of the English Is the coming forward of Mohammedans as loyal upholders of the existing government. at Delhi was held recently the All-India Mos? lem League, composed of represent? atives of 63,000,000 Mohammedans. Aga Kahn In his Inaugural address said that his co-rellglonlsts gratefully accepted the new measures of self government granted by the Emperor and asked all races to use the oppor? tunity thus created for the develop? ment of India, with a view of further advances in constitutional govern? ment. The Moslem idea, he said, is to co-operate will all other races who accept the cardinal principle of the orderly development of India un? der the Imperial crown. Aga Khan denied that partiality had been shown to the Mohammedans in ^the recent reforms. The duty of all race& he declared, was to prove their active loyalty to the soverlgn?a warm and passionate attachment to the Imper? ial house under which India had made gigantic strides. The British dynasty was pronounced the abiding center of real national unity for all Indians. Other speakers echoed these sentiments, lauding Great Brltlan's great achievements In India. Read between the lines, the speeches reveal the antipathy of the Mohammedans to the political move? ment In which the Hindus are leaders. Their attitude is dictated by differ? ences of history and temperament, as well as religion. The Mohammedans are a fighting element. They enter? ed India In the year 1001 as con? querors and dominated a great part of it till British rule began, In 1757. Their attitude toward the Hindus is somewhat contemptuous. The latter, being more numerous and more given to declamation, make the greater noise, but the Mohammedans, more virile and forceful, are quite ready to defend their position or take the aggressive. The British rely up? on the Mohammedans to be their allies should the present unrest result in rebellion and fighting. The Hindus complain that the British in the recent reforms have given the Mohammedans consideration out of all proportion to their numbers, but this both the British and the Moham? medans deny. "Divide and conquer'' is the motto of the present masters of India. They now have a chance to apply it. They have to deal with a formidable ag'tatlon among their 210,000,000 Hindu subjects, but they have in the Mohammedan element of the population an instrument of empire which will not fail to do them great service, if treated with a fair degree or prespect. ?Do you know that croup can be prevented?

Ngalyema was an African, and an enterprising trader in ivory and slaves holding the position of chief of the Stanley Poo] district. He had de? manded, wrote Sir Henry M. Stanley in his recently published "Autobiog raphy." and also received, a good!j sum for granting Stanley the pri' li? ege of establishing a station where up-river navigation begins. Time passed, and Ngalyema chose to for? get this transaction, and made an impudent demand for mor? mom y. Duly warned, however, Stanley had prepared a surprise for him. I had hung a great Chinese gong conspicuously near the princial tent. All my men were hidden, some In the steamboat on top of the wagon; and In Its shadow was a cool place, where the warriors would gladly rest after a ten-mile march. Other of my men lay still as death under tarpaulins, under bundles of grass, and in the bush round the camp. By the time the drum-taps and horns announced Ngalyema's arrival, the camp seemed practically abandoned. Ngalyema was strangely cold at my hearty greeting, and said, "Has not my brother forgotten his road? What does he mean by coming to this country?" "Nay, it is Ngalyema who has for? gotten the blood-bond that exists be? tween us. It is Ngalyema who has forgotten the mountains of goods which I paid him. What words are these of my brother?" Speech find counter-speech follow? ed. Ngalyema had exhausted his arguments; but It was not easy to break faith and be uncivil without plausible excuse. His eyes reaching round to discover an excuse to fight, when they rested on the round, bur? nished face of the Chinese gong. "What is that?" he said. "Ah, that?that Is a fetish." "A fetish! A fetish for what?" "It is a war fetish, Ngalyema. The slightest sound of that would fill this empty camp with hundreds of angry warriors; they would drop from above, they would spring up from the ground, from the forest about, from everywhere." "Sho! Tell that story to the obi women, and not to a chief like Ngaly? ema. My boy tells me It Is a kind of bell. Strike It and let me hear it." "O Ngalyema, my brother, the con? sequence would be too dreadful! Do not think of such a thing!" "Strike it I say." I struck it hard and fast, and the clangorous roll rang out like thun? der in the stillness. Only for a few seconds, however, for a tempest of human voices was heard bursting into frightful discords, and from above, right upon the heads of the astonished warriors, leaped yel? ling men; and from tents, the huts, the forest round about, they came by sixes, dozens and scores, gelling like I madmen, and seemingly animated with uncontrollable rage. The painted warriors became panic stricken; they forgot their chief and all thoughts of loyalty, and fled on the Instant, fear lifting their heels high in the air. But Ngalyema and his son did not fly. They caught the tails of my coat, ! and began to dance from side to side, I a loving triplet, myself being fore? most, to ward off the blows savagely aimed at my "brothers," and cheer? fully crying cut: "Hold fast to me my brothers! I will defend you to the last drop of my blood! Come one, come all!" Presently the order was given, "Fall in!" and quickly the men stood in, two long lines in beautiful order. Ngalyema relaxed his hold on my coat tails, and crept fr3m behind, breathing more freely. "Eh, Mamma!" he exclaimed. "Where did all these people come from?" "Ah, Ngalyema," I said, "did I not tell you it was a powerful fetish? Let me strike it again, and show you what else It can do." , "No, no!" he shrieked. "I have seen enough."?Youths Companion.
