It Develops the Power and Ability That Is In a Man. Responsibility is a great yower de veloper. Where there Is responsibility there Is growth. People who arc never thrust Into responsible positions never develop their real strength. This Is one reason why It Is so rare to And very strong men and women among those who have spent their lives In subordinate positions, In tho servlco of others. They go through life com parative weaklings because their pow ers have never been tested or devel oped by having great responsibility thrust upon them. This thinking has been done for them. They have simply carried out somebody else's pro gramme. They have never learned to stand alone, to think for themselves, to act independently. Because they hnve never been obliged to plnn for Hinmuiilroc flint Inirn iinvnt flnt'nlrtnnl t, . t t . : tIlmrll,r nn.nl. nf originality. Inventiveness. Initiative, in- dependence, self reliance, their possible grit and stamina. The power to cre- ate, to make combinations, to meet emergencies, the power which comes from continuous marshaling of one's forces to meet dlllicult situations, to ndjust means to cuds, that stamina or power which makes one equal to the great crisis In the life of a nation, Is only developed by years of practical training under great responsibility. There is nothing more misleading tllan the philosophy that if there Is anything in a youth It will come out. it may come out and It mny not. It depends largely upon clreu instances. upon the presence or absence of an alnblUon nrouslr)S, n gl.,t nwn,!en,nB environment. Tho greatest ability is uoi niways accouipunicu uy me great' est confidence or the greatest ambi tion. There is nt this moment enough pow er Intent in the clerks or ordinary em ployees in almost any of our business houses to manage them as well or bet- ter than they are managed today if xue opportunity nnu neeessnry emer gency came to call out this dynamic force. But how can clerks who remain be hind pnmitnrs inpnsnHnr nlnf-li (.nllliif Bhoes or llogeryi yo(lr m !U1,i yi,aP out ever know what latent power for or ganization or executive ability, what Initiative they possess?

The Last Execution at Tyburn. The last execution at Tyburn took place on Friday, Nov. 7, 17S3. In the person of John Austin, convicted on the preceding Saturday of robbing wiioiesaio being tne rule in those nays. The loug procession westward had been attended by such disgraceful scenes that the authorities resolved to hang criminals henceforth outside New gate prison, straight from the con demned cell. Accordingly on Dec. 3, 17S3, the recorder ordered tho erectlou of a scaffold lu front of the Jail, of which a notice nnd descriptive engrav- ing appear lu the Gentleman's Maga- zino for the same mouth, nnd on tho lfltb tho nQyf hnngng pJace wag ,n. auguruted by the execution of ten mnlefactors.-London Notes and Que- ries. Fake Telephone Calls. Tho second day after the uew maid i came tho mistress had coiupauy. Just before the callers arrived the maid said confidentially: "Shall I go out and telephone to you whUo tuev are hero?" "Telephone '"exclaimed tho mistress. "Whnt on earth should you telephone to mo nbout?" "Oh, auythlng," responded the maid, "l always did It at tho last place I worked and the place before that. Tho ladles wfthted mo to.

But tll0 mlb.CSSi romctnberlug ,auy suspicious telephone calls that had In- Jiptcd the conversation when she herself had been cnlllug, declined to purchase popularity on those terms. ?' orU. l'ress, Pishes That Are Lost, It Is pretty well established that the common mackerel, for example, lays soll W.000 W i"l that out of tho uiimhei not more than two come to the reproduction btnge.

IR SELECTING A HUSBAND.' Capture Him Whllo !!o I: Still Young, Docile and Plastic. Because It is the duty of every wo man to marry some man lt by no means follows that she Is deprived of tho privilege of making acute discrim ination. On the contrary, to fulfill her mission ns completely as possible she should exercise tho greatest caro in selecting n mate. Time was when sho had no say In the matter, nnd in some countries sho has little or none today, but In this happily civilized land she still possesses and will undoubtedly hold for all time the right flrst to choose nnd then ensnare. It is a no ble prerogative one. In our Judgment, that should ho appreciated and cher ished above all others. And yet, ns we have observed, it should be exercised with caution. Let nothing be left to chance, ns Pinto would have had It when he decreed that pairing should be done by lot. While not overnlce, be at least particular In order that tho one chosen may feel honored by the distinction conferred upon him nnd so be tho more readily Induced to show his undying gratefulness. Much that was thought nnd written years ago on how to choose a wife was good enough for the time, but tho re cent reversal of the relative attitudes of seeker and sought renders It value less. Nevertheless, despite the fact that in considering the points to bo heeded nnd tho precautions to be ob served by womankind we And our selves in n fallow Held, certain gen eral principles may bo regarded ns es tablished. It Is best, for example, to capture a husband while he is still young, docllo nnd plastic. Preferably also he should be In love. He may then be trained after tho manner best calculated to serve the convenience of her for whom thenceforth he must nnd should toll. George Ilnrvey in North American Review. PUR LARGEST SCALES. The Monster Weighing Machine In the Washington Navy Yard. The biggest scales In the coutitry are In the navy yard at Washington. They outweigh the largest railway scales by fifty tons. The latter are not to be sueezed at. for they easily weigh as much as a heavily loaded car The navy yard scales are so ac curate that they come within a pound of the exact weight. Hallway scales aro considered good if they conic with in fifty pounds. All the large ord nance manufactured for the navy Is weighed upon this nuichlue. which Is some ten years old The seales 100k like ordinary hay scales. The delicate mechanism Is Invisible. tlie mwt Intricate parts being in a broad pit below the ground. The plat form Is forty-eight feet long and twelve feet wide. Beneath the powe ful machinery Is a cement base laid upon long piles. A solid b.ise being One of the prime requisites of a pow erful weighing mnchine. It was found necessary to use a pile driver to se cure a stable foundation. The machine Is regarded as the lln est of Its kind In the world nnd is n splendid achievement of American In genuity In order to show the ac curacy of the scales an official picked up half a brick and tossed It upon tho pint form lie then consulted a long brass lever and found thnt tho brick weighed just one pound. The capacity of the scales Is 150 tons. Two twelve-Inch guns lying on n forty-eight foot car truck can bo weighed on the machine without tax ing Its capacity. Washington Star. "I Trust You." "I owe my salvation to three words you spoke." he wrote. "When all the world was against mo you said, '1 trust you.' " If every boy or girl who has nindo mistakes and gone astray could havo such a friend a great many of them would return to a normal life. The feeling that somebody believes in us, trusts us, no matter what others be lieve or say, touches the heart. Crim inals are sometimes totally reformed through the consciousness that some body still believes in them, no matter how low they may hare fallen. Could wo realize how much this trust and confidence would do for a man when everything else has failed we should be more generous of our confidence lu our fellows. Success Magazine. No Decoration Required. It was Mr. Uobart's first experience with waffles, and ho liked the taste of them. When ho had been served twice he called the waiter to him and spoko confidentially. "I'm from Polievlllc," ho said, "and we're plain folks there. Don't care much for style, but we know good food when we get It.
