The essential elements of success are char acter, energy, industrv.economj' .accuracy. perseverance, promptness, courage, self ontrol, self-dcntal,temperance. Charact er is the corner stone of them all the ground work of a happy, useful and sue c:ssful life. A good name is rather tote chosen than great riches is as true to-day a vhen written ages ago. Cultivate all these qualities. You cannot afford to spare any of them. With them there will be opening on every side ; with them you will make your mark ; with them you will be in demard ; with them you will win ; with them you w ill be indispensable to your employ er and to rise to a height of which you little dream. The spending of your time and money at this institution indicates that you 'desire to better vour condition and prepare yourselves for high' er positions and influence than you could otherwise obtain. The great need of the day is good men and women. Even in the dull season of the year there are positions for them. Over every door may be seen the sign, "good men wanted." Enter, seek. And now may 1 venture a few suggestions after you enter ? Don't ask what are the hours tr how many holidays you are to have and what will be the length of your summer vaca tion. Don't ask if your salary will be increas ed at the end of the first six months or at the end of the year. Do not even ask what the salary will be rather let the question be met bv the other side. While some of these matters are to be considered do not be in haste about them. Simply tell what you can do and your earnest de sire for a situation where you will have opportunity for development and useful, ness. Vany a person has lost opportuni ties by asking some of these questions. I have a case in point at my own works. There was a vacancy at the head of one of the departments. 1 sent for a man whom I regarded as capable of filling it. It was a place in which he could have made his mark and been in line of promotion. His very first quetion -"what will you pay ?" so disgusted me that as soon as I could I let him retire. Five years have passed and he is still at work il the same bench from which he came to confer with me regarding a better position, and in all pro. Damiity lost the opportunity of his .ife. When a situation is obtained and you are asked when you could commence.ans- wer "immediately," (if It is possible.) even though it be an ong the last hours of the last day of the week. Resolve to be faithful in everything. ue on nand among the first and among the last to leave. Be prompt to answer any demand and to execute any task. Make yourself guardian of your employer's property. Avoid waste and discourage it in others. Never speak lightly oi your employers or your associates. Whatever you do let It be well done. Good enough will not answer. Let perfection be your aim. Let the work of to-morrow excel that of to-day. No one will succeed un less he possess resolution and an earnest desire to excel. Do r.ot rely upon chance or the good words or aid of friends to ad vance you but be the architect of vour own fortune. Establish a reputation for promptness and fair dealing. Do not consent to do a wrong act for your employ ers better lose your situation. Let all of your transac tions be based upon Integrity and make your "word as good as your bond." It is a fallacy that unfair advantage must be resorted to or misrepresentation made to succeed In business. Spend as many spare hours consistent with duty and health In sti-dy and reading, and especially prepare yourself for the work in which you are engaged. And this means work. Patient, self-denying work is the price of success. There is no other road. Ease and Indolence noc only squander capital but, what is worse, one's nerve power. Many years ago it was written that man should earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. Some have considered this a curse, and it is so considered by many, when It should be re g.iidcd as one of God's best g'fts. If there was needed another beatitude I know of none better than blessed is the man who works, or, to make it hortcr, blessed be work. Dismiss from your mindf the thought that good days will come to you through any other source than work. The woild has as yet scarcely begun to comprehend the varied uses to which electrical force may be put. The pecu liarity which distinguishes this force is its easy and cheap transmissibility. Given a wiie.and force generated ten, fifteen, twen ty or more miles distant mav be transmit ted wherever needed. This is causing un used power in many places where it has been supposed beyond the reach of man's dominion, to come under his control. Mountain streams in Switzerland, hereto fore valued only as objects of curiosity to sight-seers, now contribute to the prosper ity of vi'lages five or ten miles beneath them. From the dalles of the St Louis, where a river falls five hundred feet, near Duluth, power is to be furnished by elec tricity, which wiU not only light the city, ', but give an enormous amount of power for ether uses. Near the seashore, ocean tides, whose vast power exceeds that of all the steam engines in the world, will very probably be largely changed to electrical force.and thus be made useful to mankind beyond what cauid now be thought possi.
