FOR THE CHILDREN
Her Composition.
Little Zelda was seven yars old and
wrote many compositions at school.
Imt one was treasured by parents and
tMChers that she might read It when
■bo was older. The subject was a dif
ficult one, “What Is a Fable?"
"Why,” she said to her teacher, “I
know a fable when I see It, but I don’t
knew what It Is when I have to say
it It seems very strange Indeed. Must
my composition be long?”
"Oh, no; short, by all means,” an
swered the teacher. “Only tell what a
(able Is. You have been reading them.
How simply tell In your own language
what a fable Is. That Is all.”
Zelda seemed quite puzzled, but
mamma smiled and told her as an en
couragement tlipt when she bad writ
ten her composition she should have a
coral necklace.
“Oh, mamma. 1 shall try very hard.
I shall think and think and think until
I think it out.” She wished for the
coral necklace very much, but she also
wisht*d to please her mother.
After a time of deep thought and
hard study she brought her composi
tion triumphantly to her teacher and
said:
“There is my composition. It was
hard, but I have told exactly—just ex
actly—what a fable is, as you told me
to do. I read over my book of fables
and found out all about them.”
The teacher took the composition
from the little girl's hands and read It.
It had one great merit—It was quite
short. It read, “A fable Is a place
where animals talk, which also they
never do so.’’
The grown people laughed very much
when they read It, but she won the
coral necklace, because mamma knew
■he had tried. — Grace Baxter In
Youth's Companion.
In a Chinese School.
Bach Chinese schoolboy must furnish
his own stool and table for school work
and the “four precious articles,” which
are the Ink slab, a cake of iudia ink. a
brush for writing and paper. With
these he begins ids weary task of learn
ing to write and read the thousands of
Chinese characters. These are to open
the way to the Chinese classics, and a
knowledge of this ancient literature
and wisdom means education to the
Chinese. At the opening of a Chinese
school a paper on which is written the
lame of Confucius is pasted on the
wall. Before this honored name the
pupils and teachers burn paper money
and joss sticks and bow their heads
three times to the floor. The teacher
then tells Confucius the day, the month
and the yenr when the school is opened
and begs for bis favor. Every morn
ing when the pupils arrive they must
bow twice, once for the teacher and
once for Confucius.
The Wolf* Revenge.
According to an Indian legend, in the
beginning the Dog was put on the
mountain and the Wolf beside the Are.
When the winter came the Dog could
not endure the cold, so he came down
to the settlement and drove the Wolf
fro tv the Are. The Wolf ran to the
mountains, where it suited him so well
that he prospered and increased until
after awhile he ventured down again
and killed some animals in the settle
ments. The people got together and
followed and killed him, but Ills broth
ers came from the mountains and took
■uch revenge that ever since the people
have been afraid of the Wolf.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Prayer Mrrtlny Topic For the Wcolt
Bcfrinnlna March 13.
Topic.—Appetites that unmake men.—
Dan. v, 1-5, 26-28.
It has been calculated that over 90
per cent of men who start out In a
business career in life fail in it some
time and that the vast majority of
men who live to be threescore years
and ten are at that age dependent up
on some one else. This is a sad record.
Failure in business, failure in self sup
port, are not pleasant experiences, and
yet there are failures that are even
worse than these. Many men who do
not fail in business are nevertheless
unmade men, and, taken together witli
| all others who are unmade morally
i and spiritually, they compose a great
host of men. And what is sadder in
life than an unmade man, the failure
! of one who possessed talent and op
portunity and yet by yielding to some
base appetite unmakes himself—a
Brutus, unmade by inordinate ambi
tion; a Mark Antony, unmade by sen
suality; a Belshazzar, unmade by an
inordinate desire for show and vain
glory; a Napoleon, unmade by glut
tony!
The appetites that unmake men are
nol a few'. They are intemperance,
lust, gluttony, ambition, the greed for
gold and many others. Nor is it the
appetite itself that is at fault, but the
inordinate and immoderate develop
ment and exercise of it. Every appe
tite of life has its legitimate plnce and
purpose, but if it be abused in many
cases it leads to ruin and destruction.
When God looked upon the world which
He had made His verdict upon it was
that it was very good, and the w'orld is
still good today if we use it properly.
It is not the use of the world that un
makes men, but the abuse of it. It is
one of the sad facts of life that that
which is good may be abused and be
come an evil. Proper ambition is most
worthy, and without it success in life
is highly improbable. But the path
way of life is strewn with the wrecked
lives of an inordinate ambition. The
desire for wealth is not of itself a fault,
but when greed becomes a god the bet
ter self of the man is soon unmade. The
physical appetites play an important
part in our lives when properly con
trolled, but when they are abused, when
they are debased into gluttony, intem
perance and lust, how' soon they un
make the man.
When it comes to tne appetites, tnere
fore, the problem to solve is how to use
them and not abuse them, how to con
trol them instead of having them con
trol us, how to have their influence in
making us what we should be rather
than in unmaking us, and this is no
light problem. To solve it successfully
we need the wisdom and grace of God
as well ns the exercise of our best care,
judgment and power of will. Constant
carefulness should be our attitude.
Some things, such as intemperance,
should be guarded against altogether.
Total abstinence is the only safeguard
against strong drink. In other cases,
where proper indulgence of the appetite
is necessary, we must by divine and
personal power keep ourselves masters
of the situation. Every appetite must
be held firmly in hand. Therefore let
us “watch and pray that we enter not
into temptation.”

CORNELIUS VANDERBILT AND HIS INVENTIONS
CORNELIUS VANDERBILT, capitalist, engineer and inventor, has made
a success of his life despite the handicap of wealth. He has chosen
labor rather than idle luxury and determined to make a name by his mind
rather than by his millions.
The eldest son of Cornelius, Sr., he was educated as the heir-apparent to
the bulk of a great fortune and as the future financial head of large interests
and industries. After graduating from Yale in 1895 he entered the mechan
ical department of the New York Central Railroad to acquire a practical
knowledge of engineering. He worked as conscientiously, simply and faith
fully as if he were l it a struggling mechanic ambitiously seeking to win his
own way in the battle of life.
In 1898 he married Kirs Grace Wilson of New York, despite the violent
opposition of his father who protested because she was older than his son.
Cornelius, Jr., de iced for himself, followed the guidance of his heart in the
most sacred decision in the life of an individual, naturally, simply and with
out any consciousness of the halo of the heroic self-sacrifice the sensational
press would place on 1 is head. He did merely what he felt was right and
resented the impertinence of being publicly canonized, as if real love could
over be out-balanced by gold. The one million dollars which he received on
the death of his father was Increased to seven by an arrangement with his
brother Alfred who inherited the major part of the estate, and this fortune
has since been more than doubled by Mr. Vanderbilt’s own efforts.
He has invented more than ten valuable improvements on locomotives
alone. His tender consisting of a cylindrical water-tank and a coal-box of
unusual design, has many advantages. It increases the carrying capacity for
fuel and water, reduces the cost of construction and maintenance, lessens the
weight and adds to the tender’s strength and life. His all-steel cars, upon
which he worked two years, are superior to the ones now in use, and on the
Lackawanna Road his cars carry sixty tons of coal, while five years ago a
fifty-ton car was considered the limit of possibility.
Mr. Vanderbilt in his writings and lectures on engineering topics, reveals
the same aggressive, far-seeing and original mind shown in his inventions.
He is modest, earnest and serious, despising notoriety and is irritated by the
fact that a rich young man with thoughts above mere money-spending should
be regarded as a world’s wonder.

Lord Palmeraton.
1 |
Herbert Paul in his “History of Mod
ern England" thus describes Lord Pal
merston:
This "gay, eupeptic son of Belial”
was now in his sixty-second year. No j
English statesman except Walpole and j
Pitt has passed so large a proportion
Of his public life in office. The ratio
•was forty-nine years of office to fifty
nine of public life. While the Tories
were in power he was a Tory. For
more than twenty years, from 1807 to
11828, he was secretary of war, or, as
We should now say, financial secretary
to tlie war office. During that long
period he seldom spoke, and Channing,
who spoke for pleasure, complained
that "he could not bring that three
decker Palmerston into action.” Lord
Palmerston was a man of fashion and
h man of pleasure. His house was a
social center of much importance. But
he was also pre-eminently a man of af
fairs who never neglected his business
and was always master of his subject.
When he returned to office under Lord
John no man in Europe could be com
pared with him for knowledge of for
eign policy except Metternich and Gui
Bot. He took difficulties as a bold
rider takes a still fence, relying on his
horse aud his luck. Hitherto his luck
had been very good, and his horse was
a splendid animal. In 1846 England
was undoubtedly the first power of the
world, as France wbb the second.
The Queer Sunflsh.
The sunflsh or headflsh Is fairly com
mon in the vicinity of Santa Catalina
Island. Its general appearance is ob
long and deep, very thin or compress
ed. cut off (truncate) behind, so there
appears to be no tail, a mere rim of
movable flesh taking Its place, which
has a very limited use in the slow loco
motion of this extraordinary fish. The
skin Is hard and coarse, rough, scale
less and covered with flat spines, the
entire skin covered with a thick coat
ing of slime, which appears to be a
world In Itself for numerous parasites
which prey upon the flsh.
This extraordinary flsh Is one of the
few fishes of little or no use to man.
“1 am of the opinion,” says a natu
ralist. “that the hard skin might be
utilized. I once learned that the boys
of u certain village In Maine were
anxious to secure the muscular en
velope of a specimen caught by me to
use It as rubber. They cut the hard,
elastic substance Into round shapes
and used them for the interior of home
made baseballs.”
Crude, Guri.h Atkeu.
An American traveler writes: “Ath

Is raw. garish, new, staring, crude. It
smells of paint. It reeks of varnish.
It Is redolent of last week. It Is the

rope. It Is dusty. It Is noisy. It Is vul
gar. Everything In It Is Imitation. The
palaces are Imitation. The hotels are

city is a sham. It Is a Joy to leave
the commonplace streets, to quit the
Insufferable city and to climb the
Acropolis. 'There everything is calm

tie of noth Hand*.
There are comparatively few people
who can use botli hands indifferently,
yet this is a most sensible accomplish
ment. When one hand grows tired, the
other should be able to take up the
work, for thus more can be accom
plished without undue fatigue. In the
mechanical departments of German
schools the boys are obliged to do
much of the work with their left
hands. They are taught to saw, plane
and hammer equally well with both
hands and to make large circles on the
blackboard first with one hand and
then with the other, says Home Notes.
Man. said to be the highest of ani
mals, is the only one which cannot use
all his limbs with equal ease. Man
tises his eyes equally well and his
legs, but how few people can make
their left hands do even half of the
things accomplished easily by the right.
And this state of affairs is simply be
cause the left hand is not trained. The
child is generally not allowed to let it
do its share of work, but is made to
keep it idle while the right band docs
the greater part of the work of the
two.
Odd Cat Facts.
A good cat—the kind you want to
hare in the house, if any—will have a
round, stubby pug nose, full, fat cheeks
and upper lip and a well developed
bump on the top of the head between
the ears, betokening good nature. A
sleepy eat that purs a good deal is
apt to be playful and good natured.
By all means to be avoided is a cat
with thin, slmiT) nose and twitching
ears. It must be remembered also that
a good mouser is not necessarily a gen
tle or desirable pet. Although any good
cat will catch mice if she is not over
fed. quick, full, expressive eyea gener
ally betoken a good mouser. The great
mistake and probably the most com
mon one in the care of domestic cats
is overfeeding, particularly too much
meat. In wild life the cat has exercise
which enables her to digest her food,
in the lazy house life the same full
feeding leads to stomach troubles and
to fits.
Unripe Jewels.
There was at one time a wonderful
emerald extant with white corners,
while all the rest of the stone was of
Its proper velvety dark green hue. This
stone was used as an Illustrative proof
that emeralds were born white, but
ripened Into the right color In the mine,
time working one of its usual mira
cles ou the crystal. Indeed, beryl, that
pale green stone exactly like the emer
ald in all essentials save color, has
often been called the mother of emer
ald.
Aquamarine la a beryl—in othei
words, an unripe emerald, not yet ma
tured into the proper tint, and of this
the commoner varieties are by no
means rare. Yet it is to be doubted
whether these unripe stones would
ever mature Into the true and lawful
lustrous emerald.—London Queen.

As to Steel Trust Profits.
Some new light may be shed on the
affairs und methods of the United
States Steel corporation by the action
which has Just been begun by Alfred
l>\ Stevens of Newark, N. J., to discov
er why dividends are denied to holders
of the company's common stock. It
appears that Mr. Stevens Is acting from
a matter of principle rather than from
any great financial interest he has, for
it is said that he owns only twenty
shares of the common stock. He claims
;hat $66,000,000 surplus has accumulat
ed since the United States Steel corpo
ration was formed in 1901 and that the
| stockholders’ dividends were reduced in
i October last and in January this year
stopped entirely. He asserts that the
officers have by their action violated
the terms of the corporation’s charter
and decreased the market value of the
common stock. In his bill he alleges
that tlie earnings of the company were
greatly in excess of the amount earned
in 1901, when the regular dividend, at
the rate of 4 per cent per annum, was
declared quarterly.
Air. Stevens insists that there is a
twofold object in his suit—to learn why
die corporation stopped payments on
the common stock and what is to be
come of, the $66,000,000 surplus, which,
lie claims, is thus made a trust fund
for the benefit of tbe preferred share
holders. As to the first point, the com
pany will doubtless say that it was un
wise in the present condition of its
business to pay dividends; as to the
latter, that it is wise to lay by some
thing for a rainy day.
Whatever may be said or done, the
thousands of holders of Steel common
will be scarcely less interested than Mr.
Stevens himself in the outcome of the
litigation that he has instituted It is
a matter also In which the general pub
lic has a keen interest.
