RESPONSIBILITY.
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

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'

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

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

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. It gave-the lm-
Presslon that thoj were very popular
and were overrun, with engagements."

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. I want another plate
ful o' those cakes, but you tell the
cook she needn't stop to put that fan
cy printing on 'em; Just send 'em along
plain." Youth's Companion.
Terrible Fate.
There Is something which will ap
peal to every American In the horror
.of a fate Invoked upon Ilenry James,
Sr., by his son, tho novelist, nnd re
corded lu the letters of E. L. Godkln.
The young man had been worsted In
argument nnd exclaimed:
"Then may your mashed potatoes al
ways have lumps In them 1" Youth's
