Y., dlacov ered among his girl violin atudents on who seemed to be making unusual prog ress. This waa Margel Gluck. Pro feseor Egbert recommended ber to try for the conservatory violin scholarship. She did no and won it. Afterward he advised her to go to Sevcik. the fu mous Dohenilan violin teacher, at Prague. The Sevcik school at Prague was Inundated with applications for ad mission and violinists even of the bet ter ranks, were turned away by doxens. Mlaa Cluck's application failed to bring her even a response. Disappointed but not discouraged Mlaa Oluck and her mother left for Kuropa, going first to Berlin, early In the spring: of 190S. Meanwhile Professor ligbert himself went to Prague to take soma lessons from Sevcik. and through hla Intercession, after months of waiting;, the long looked for appointment came.

NDU8TRY Is the motive power of the so-called "wheel of fortune," and Its self-evident value and ao compllshments are sufficiently con spicuous In themselves to satisfac torily rival other Influences, which may arise from the superficial pleasures of Indolence, for such pleasures are mostly physical and of only temporary dura tion, whereas the mental gratification of having achieved something through one's own personal effort la of Incal culable Joy. Close and minute attention to detail is the first and most important rung of Industry's ladder, for through ob servation only does one gain the great possibilities of suggestion. The "fortune of birth" Is purely ac cidental, and may prove a blessing or not, according to one's standard of ap preciation a blessing insomuch as It may smooth off certain of life's rough ?dges and corners a misfortune when t leads one to overestimate Its powers. True success lies within ourselves and according- to the cultivation of our possibilities, but Its germ cannot. Ilka material things, be bequeathed. Although our efforts may frequently not receive Immediate success or even recognition, still there Is always a cer tain satisfaction in the knowledge that 'MUMHI Mime !

Shortly after this, when Sevclk'a portrait was about to bo painted by a Bohemian art lat, It waa auggested that ona Of hla students should appear In tha picture, and ho was asked to maka hlajwn se lection. Out of 76 or mora pupils from all parts of the civilised world tha master selected tha American girl. Later she waa made treasurer of tno Anglo American club at Prague, w hich Includes In lta membership practically all of tha musicians who vlalt that city to study, After completing her studies with Sevcik this spring MUs Oluck went east Instead of coming west, as la usual with new-fledgad mualclana. In tha beautiful cltv of Queen Carmen Bylva. a reception at which aha waa guest of honor was arranged by tha American minister and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Knowles, whose popularity in sured a distinguished gathering of tha aristocracy and diplomatic clrolea of RoumanlH, and here It was before soma of the best amateur musicians In Eu rope that the American grl mdo her demit. Shortly after this recaption Mr. Knowles received an Intimation that Miss Gluck would be received at tha wonderful Palace of Cotrocenl, which was designed largely by the Crown Princess Marie from whom the com mand came. Many audiences given by music loving royalty to musical artistes are of a private or aeml-prlvate nature, but the young American girl was first formally presented at the court of tha crown princess and was then Invited to play for the princess and the distin guished assemoly present. Early in the morning on which sha was -leaving Bucharest, Miss Oluck ana her mother were surprised by a call from Mons.

Few measures designed to work a great social reform have attracted auch unan imously hostile criticism as tha Old Age Pensions bill which tha Liberal government of England has an nounced Its determination to pass Into law.

From the queen she had received a copy of the most successful portrait of her majesty taken In recent years, and from Mademoiselle Helena Vacaresco, the queen's Intimate friend, who has shown her much kindness. Miss Oluck received a rare photograph of the queen and Mademoiselle Vacaresco together. Mademoiselle Vacaresco, bv the way, not content with being crowned by the French academy for her poetry, has recently taken to writing novels. So gifted a linguist is she that al though her native language Is Rou manian and her poetry la written In French, the novel which Is now nearly complete Is composed entirely In Enc-, llsh. It is said to incorporate, thinly veiled, a unique account of tha privata lives of a number of the principal crowned heads of Kuropa. On coming to Ioncion Miss Oluok ar ranged for a tour In England with Wit-, kin Mills, the famous ETngllsh baritone.'

When It comes to predicting tha fu ture of the wireless telephone, I do not wish to exaggerate, I do not think that the wireless telephone will ever do away with the present form of telephones, for I do not think that It can be used in great cities and that It will be pos sible to connect thousands of sub scribers through a central.

It Is aa if the temperature of the world had gradually Increased during the last cen tury, not enough for ua to measure the Increase, but still sufficient to change most thlnga on earth. In our own time It has ended with volcanic eruptions. which we bad thought belonged only in the past. There is no doubt but that the laet two or three years' great catastrophe. Mont Pelee, Mount Vesuvius and the Pan Francisco earthquake, have acted upon the unconscious self of humanity, and the Russo-Japanese war. the yel low race's attack upon civilization, aa well as the misery in Russia, have con tributed to the change which has taken place in the souls the world over. Our earth has been reminded of lta fiery Interior, and the impossible has been made possible. Perhaps we do not need to go very- fir outalde tha sphere of our own globe to discover that there is a connection between the volcanic phenomena and the new political era on this earth. Evervthlns we see and everything that happens are phases ln a terrestrial evoltlon whose laws we krow some thing about, but whose real Initiative Is unknown to ua. As we are ourselves subject to the ortrlnal apontaneity of nature, our knowledge caa never become earthing but limfted, our view of our existence, taking part ln Its own evo lution caa never, axy more than can the moon, seen from all sldra. We, therefore, like to ae the fulftjllne; ot our own will lw what coamtcaJly hap pens, but this error has never Interfered with the revolution of the earth. It baa been Ilgure uai a ranauoa of only 6 degrees (Celsius Is all that Is necessary to bring hack the glacial pe riod with its changes. The climate of northern Kuropa was semi-tropical be fore the glaciers of the glacial period came, and even this glacial period Itself was broken by several warmer spells, when the glaciers receded and left room for man. We ourselves seem to be liv ing at a time when the glaciers are re ceding. Common reasoning shows us the whole civilisation of northern Europe la due to these changes of climate, the Increasing cold forcing the northern race toward evolution under more dif ficult circumstances. Just aa all evolu tion la probably due to the cooling off of the earth. But every time the cold ln northern Europe has decreased, the race, with the Increased vigor, hardi ness and Intelligence brought about by the greater struggle for existence, has gone back to Its original warmer In stinct. The struggle sgainst cold, which may be compared to a crystalli sation, hardens and contracta. while milder temperature releases. Whether It be true or not that the temperature of our globe has Increased, and even If It be doubtful whether this affects human character. It la beyond all doubt that a receasion of culture has taken place. An absolute revolution has come a revolution In public opinion the ten dency Is toward the primitive we are recovering. And note thiav It is not the few select, tbe famous parierts who sit upon the mountain tope tsnilnr bulle tins about their own unimportant- beaJth do. a goopel has arone out td the whole Mind humanity.'

The time ln which we are living has not Imposed upon humanitv new bur dens In the form of regilded dreams, but the great things that have hap pened hnve given to the masses a taata for reality. It was not a marvelous work of art that waa unveiled on Martinique; It was nnt a salnn opened to a doxen hyper-refined cranks and a crowd of cu riosity seekers no, a mountain spit ting fire killed :S,000 people.

Ills father will not be eligible for a pension because under this bill If It becomes a law half his son's income will be reckoned as his, and he will, therefore, be in receipt of more than $2 60 a week. It Is probable, however, that thla claua will be modlfid. for the public outcry against It has been ver7 great. Of a similar nature waa the clause which provided that two pensioners liv ing together should not receive the full pension, but should only receive 84 cents a week each Thus a huabar.d and wife. If living tog-ther. would only receive $1 75. Jointly, while if they lived apart they would receive $2 50 This clause led to rtie bill being nicknamed.

A GOOD many years ago, ln an old Massachusetts town, there was a Baptiat minister who, according to the atandards of the ortho doxy of those times, waa shnrt on theology and long on good, practical common sense. His preaching did not aatiafy tbe theological Ideas of his deacons and elders, though It did appeal with a force peculiarly its own to the young men ef the town and the "sin ners sat in their ways." Very little la remembred tndav by the writer of thla little sermon nf every-day life of what the old minis', r said, save this: "tiod Almighty never made a lazy Christian." If an explosion had occurred ln the building a greater sensation could hardly have been male than those words of the old man Th y struck home ln so many different places The sentence went ricnins- ud and down the aisles, scurrying into the pews and wrrhout the news ant sur leave, sir much aa by tha men and women wt j la by v or madam. It went riahf home to tin hearts of heard It. That sentence effected materially ltvea of one entire family. It became a byword for th father In the hnme, while by the mother la was ued as a enr slant prod for ber boys who aJ mlred the old preacher much It In spired at leeet one of the boys in tne home to shake off his feet the dust .f sloth and get out,tr.to ifce woTld to make his own living and be a man on bis own responsibility. Today, after a lapse of" perhaps ! veers, these words ate as true as they were the day they were apoken "God Almrghtv never made a laiy Chrlsttan. Nt' He never dkd. and he neve will. Lastness la not a proiuct of the faelerr of U.S almighty. I tie vocabulary cf the eternal so far as we know It, there Is no aucl: word as Idleness. Sloth with him !s an unknown quantity. When the eternil mak"s a man he makes him to go 'about the father's business." Man living In a mans world was maiio to do things. I,nok:ng at l'fe from one aspect, It seems as though man was turned Into a great barren pasture. Barren aa far a externals are concerned, but full of rinneas when Internals are considered. Whatever man gts in thla world's psa t ;re he g-is not by miracle, not bv di!n favor, not by petttlone to The throne nf the universe, but by the way of hard work. Intelligently applied. Ocaaionally a man stumbles upon inn-.- grt-at secret 0f the universe, as N"trn did when the falling apple com pelled his attention to the law of gravi tation. But the application of anv chance discovery, the making U of resl advantage to the hearts and lives jf men. has ever been by the way of bard, rontlnuoua and never-ending work. There's gold in the mountains It has been there since time began; there ao long that the m!nd cf man has no record when its hiding-place was f!rt discovered But It haa taken centuries cf work and patient development to bring the gold of the mountains to the place where it goes forth In circulation as coin nf the republic with the In Oxvl We Trist" motto upon It. There a coal in the hill. It haa ben there since the time when the pri meval fnrts began to decay, and ttange. unknown, unblographlnal birds trampled up and down tho plastle, ma sea of the vanishing forests But It haa taken centuries to bring the coal to tho place where ite heat transforms tbe Iron or the mountains to tbe finest of steL Bv the path of work, labotioas. Intelli gent, coal has come to bo -too errant of aits. So you may rua tho whole gasast ef , useful tbinga that mod era asaa tea to make his life pleasant, nappy and pro gresslve. Not one of these things has been turned from the crucible of tho almighty ready, all prepared for the use of man. Man was made to do things. Made to master tha forces of the earth, the aea and the aky, and com pel them to do his bidding. The lasy man la he who aita by the fireside and lots the busy man of this world fill his maw with the useful things ho ha discovered, while he himself exercises no energy, displays no power, does nothing to show that he Is worthy the dignified, the noblest title of all a man Some veara ago In Cincinnati a nun ran yelling down the streets until he came tn the great Covington bridge, where he Jumped to the waters of ths Ohio below. Aa he ran and Jumpd he yelled "Here roes nobody! Here goea nobodv!" And. euro enough, tt was a nobody who had killed hlmalf. There are a whole boat of men. pre., tending to lira who are only existlne; pretending to work, who are ent dawd.ing who might, tlko the men in Cincinnati, say and aay truly.
