I HCTURB 1 M.or. 1 w - f HAVE A PURPOSE, AND STICK Admittedly Hard Lesson to Learn, but It Means Success to Those Who Master It Did you ever realize that It Is not an easy thing to concentrate? If you don't believe. this shut your eyes right now and try to think for five minutes absolutely on one subject. It may be that you will choose dollars, or dough nuts, or ducks. But If at the end of five minutes you can truthfully say that never once did your mind wander from the definite subject which you chose you're a wonder. It is Just the same with our actions, It Is the unusual person who can stick to one purpose until It is fully accomplished. So many other things, apparently Just as Important, Inter fere. Those who have learned this hard lesson are the most successful Thomas Edison, Mme. Curie, Luther Burbank, each show of what the hu man mind is capable when it thinks on or.o set of facts. We probably could not equal them If we did think, for, along with their power of concentration, are unusual talents, but the point Is this: We all have some degree of possibility within. We all feel an interest in some,speclal tiling. Why not think seriously upon itf We're a great deal richer than we sometimes think we are. It pays to mind our own possibilities. "As a man thlnketh so is he," is no mere figure of speech. It Is a psy chological truism. A man's thoughts, his Ideas, are the great determinants of all his behavior. That man who fears to use his own mind Is stumbling over an Imaginary obstacle on the road to making good, The man who succeeds Is the man who rblnks he can.

EXPLAINING DOG-FACED MEN MAY RESUME CORAL FISHING Expedted Revival of Industry as a Re sult of Systematic Exploration of the Banks. The coasts of Algiers and Tunis in Africa , have long been famous for their production of coral; but some years ago coral fishing on these coasts rapidly diminished, until it was aban doned. Now, however, this Industry seems to bo reviving In Algiers and it is expected that It will be resumed In Tunis. A systematic exploration of coral banks has been under way and the best methods of collecting the cor al have been discussed. The old way, which was very wasteful, consisted in the use of various forms of grapples, combined with strong nets, which were swept over the banks, tearing delicate structures apart, and recovering but a small portion of the broken coral. The employment of divers is advocated as more economical, both In the quality of the harvest and the preservation of the banks. Divers can descend to a depth of about 180 feet, and good coral is seldom found 9t greater depths. Real Economy. Transparent animals are remark able. Yet recent studies of two larval eels which possess this peculiarity, and which belong to one of the gov ernment bureaus at Washington, seem to show that among the possible ad' vantages of being transparent Is listed economy In personal decoration." In ordinary opaque animals the col or markings are symmetrical on both sides of the body, but this is not the case with the transparent eels. When looked at from one side these eels ap pear to have seven large, black spots arranged at nearly regular intervals along the length of its body; closer examination shows that in each case three spots are on the left side and four on the right. They are irreg ularly spaced, but in such a manner that on looking through the body all seven appear in a symmetrical row. Wireless Hour Signals. When a ship Is approaching shore great caution la often necessary be cause of "uncertainty as to the ves sel's precise position. It was some years ago that It was first proposed that wireless telegraphy be utilized to send hour signals over the sea round England to a distance of 200 or 800 miles from shore. In order that the captains of Incoming ships might thus be enabled to rectify their chronome ters to Greenwich time. The govern ment of Canada thereupon established a system of this kind at Camperdown, near Halifax. Every morning the exact hour is sent out over the sea, so that all vessels furnished with re ceiving apparatus may pick up the true time from the air. Washington Star. Waste and Wet. Lands Have Value. aste and wet lands have their uses, and under proper management can be made to yield a good return. Drainage, which Is always expensive, Is often employed to transform land which would be available as, a sanctu ary for waterfowl, or for the produc tion of fish or nut crops, into tillable land In regions where there is al ready plenty . of farming soil. The needs of many communities would be better served if the wet lands were developed naturally. Not Ungrateful. "Republics are uncrateful.,, re marked the ready-made philosopher. Aot ungrateful." reDMed Senator Sorghum; "though maybe a trifle dis trustful. A republic, like other forms - . .... I or government, is constantly Imagining it has found an Intellectual treasure and then discovering It's agold brick." Chinese Tribe Said to Owe Their Mal formation to the Impatience of t , Ancient King. r- " - ' - Curiosity, and a man's at that, Is re sponsible for the "dog faces" xf large tribe In southeastern China, ac cording to legend. Time was when this tribe was as pleasing In appearance as any other, the legend runs.' The king in those far-off days greatly coveted the head of one of his enemies, as a decoration for a spear-point in the court. - He offered his third daughter in marriage to ' the hero who would slay ; the enemy. . . The king of the dogs made up his mind to win a human bride. In due time he laid the coveted head at the feet of the human king. The princess, of course, was dis mayed at the Idea of marrying a dog, and her father was sympathetic. A sage came to the rescue, saying that if the dog were put In a box, and the box were hung over the wall of the city for 40 days, the dog would change into a man. His directions were followed. , But before the.40 days had elapsed, the all' too-human king opened the box to see how the transformation was progress ing. . Out stepped something that was a man except for the head, which was still that of a dog. The princess was obliged to marry the dog king, anyway, and the race gradually came to bear the doglike facial and cranial features observable today. The name of the tribe, Hak kas, signifies "dog-headed.'' The Morris-Dancers. In England, In medieval times, the Christian feast of Penticost absorbed one of the summer festivals of the pagan inhabitants cf western Europe. It was commonly celebrated In all parts of the country by What , was termed the Whltsun-ale, and It was a great time for the Morris-dancers, Antiquaries seem agreed that the old English Morris-dance, so great a favor ite in the Sixteenth century, and still used, was derived through Spain from the Moors, and that its name In Span 'ah. "Morisco," a Moor, was taken from this circumstance. , For Sale A good kitchen range, Mrs. W. J. Crabill, Athena. DR. S. F.
