When It was reported that Anthony

What haa prosperity done for us?
Grievous to say, with all our fine

la safe to say that In our roth for mere
material comforts and life problems wo
have sadly noglected the essentials. The
realization of our flno dream to be the
greatest nation on earth will never
come until the dissemination la com
plete of the knowledge that while you
may call your maid by her first namo
sho must not reciprocate, that you must
not 'cat things with your spoon that
you can eat more awkwardly with your
fork, that you must not wear spats with
your overalls and that a reversible cuff
Is In contravention of the seventeenth

naronesa llurdett-Cuutts, who died
In London recently at tho age of IK)
years, was ono of tho moat remarkable
women of tho last century, Her grand
father, Thomas C'outts, founded a
noted Loudon banking-house, and his
granddaughter Inherited a largo part
f hi fortuue. She was the daughter
of fiir Francis Burdeftt, but added th
name of her maternul grandfather to
her own in 1837. She used her rasl
wealth In building achoola, churchoi
and model tenements, la endowing bish
oprics In Capo Town, Adelaide and
British Columbia, in restoring waning
industries and In assisting deserving
immigrants. It Is estimated that dur
ing her life sto gave away fully flv
million dollar In 18S1, .when she wai
07 years old, buo married Mr. William
Lehman Ashmcad-Dnrtlctt, born an
American, but nuturallzed as an En
glishman, who had assisted lior In ro
llurlng the sufferings of Jtliu Ilulgarl
tins and Turks after tho war of 1877.
Mr. Ashmuad-Unrtlett assumed tin
niuiio of his wife. Mho was already
n buroness, to which rank Queon Vic
toria elevated her lu 1871 in recogni
tion of her great philanthropies. King
Edward Is reported as having charac
terized her as the most rcuurkablii
woman of her time, after Vlctorlu, to
whom he assigned first place.
As thero Is no royal road to learning
so there Is no certain formula for ma
terial success In life. All the success
ful men give out prescriptions for the
uttalnmeut of wealth or other things
to bo desired, but these prescriptions
are obviously faulty, since they do not
succeed save in a few cases. Most men
remain poor lu splto of thorn. Tho ad
vice of successful cnen Is usually as use
less as It Is platitudinous. This Is be
en u so It lumps all men togother, where
as every man Is a case by himself. Here
Is H. II. Harrlman, for Instance, mak
ing public tho secret of his success. "I
Just attend to business," ho saysj "that
la bow I succeed. Anybody can do the
same." Yet nil1 of us know hundreds
of men who, though thoy attend to
business as faithfully as they can, are
not successful even In a modest wny.
They toll early and late, they neglect
no honest effort, yet they live nud dlo
failures bo far as material success Is
concerned. Mr. Harrimau's systecn In
thus Ineffectual with rcspoct to a largo
proportion of men, and bo seems to
realise It, for ho goes on to amplify
and qualify his advice very materially.
"I keep In touch with matters In which
I nm concerned," he says, "and moot
tho turn In oveuta at tho proper time.
Any man of reasonable Intelligence
with ability to approctato tho golden
opportunity and selco It will succeed
In his endeavors." This puts a very dif
ferent complexion upon It. Attention
to business alone will not sufueo. The
aspirant for great things must also
meet the turn of events at the proper
time be must eelte the golden oppor
tunity and know when to seise It
Assiduity mast be supplemented by
qualities which are not common to all
mon. And It Is In these qualities that
success resides. Successful men who,
like Harrlman, give advice to those
who wish to cmulnto them would do
better If they put tho matter another
way. They should say that men can
not succeed without energy and Indus
try, but they should not assert that
thoso qualities alono will command
success. For tho truth Is that success
In material things Is often tho result
of qualities which aro not entirely ad
mirable, even though they nro rare.
As for success In matters not material
It can bo attnlncd by every ono. A man
may live all his life In poverty to die
rich at last In thoso things which can
not bo bought for money. This Is suc
cess which can not only be deserved,
but which can bo commanded.

"I wouldn't dream of walking any
where without a map. Tho map Is not
only a guide, but It Is a compnnlon and
friend that tells you about tho country
as you go along. It tells you not only
precisely whero you nro at whatever

tances hero and there, but with tho
country outlined before you and Its fea
tures marked thero on the paper you
can And a far greater satisfaction In
tho walk than would bo posslblo with
out tho aid of this pocket companion.
"Asldo from tho help tho map gives
you In getting where you want to go,
halt whero you will whero some Invit
ing prospect attracts and open up tho
map.
"Only bo suro thnt you hold It cor
rectly adjusted to tho points of the com
pnss, and then tho map will tell you
what arm of tho Ben or what bay or
lako It is whoso waters you see far
away to tho east, or what village It Is
whose church splro you see rising to
tho north: It will tell you the namo
of tho brook you havo Just crowed, nud
of tho Btream you'll bo coming to a mile

"With a map, In short, every featuro

"Invaluable ns n guide, the map Is
