ROBINSON SELFISHNESS *T* HINK of your tasks and not of -*■ yourself. -Most of those who find their dally 'work monotonous and Imagine they ■could get much greater enjoyment out ■of other employment would not be llifcely to make any greater headway or find greater pleasure In doing any ether job under the sun, unless they first had a change In their own view point. Usually It is not what one may be ■doing, but the spirit In which It Is fione which makes work pleasant or undesirable. When people are con stantly thinking of self and placing •themselves above the Importance of •the duty at hand, the task will seem •distasteful end Inconsequential, re gardless of how much Its successful Accomplishment means to the world. The story Is told of a school teacher who hated her work and was ex tremely anxious to become a nurse. She complained that there was noth ing to her life but a mile-long trip between two ugly fences twice a day and the intervening hours spent in teaching the same monotonous lessons over and over again. So she thought It would be so very lovely to don a white cap and apron and devote the remainder of her life to caring for ttbe sick. Fortunately she stated her opinion ta a clear-headed and broad-minded physician and asked him to aid her in finding employment as a student in a hospital. When this man heard why she wished to give up teaching as a profession, he kindly told her that *be was temperamentally unfitted to tie a nurse, for nursing meant ex treme self-sacrifice. If she thought m much of herself that she couldn’t find enjoyment in the work of making rgooA and able Americans through teaching, due to her constant thoughts «f self, he contended that she would have even a smaller chance of getting •enjoyment out of the nursing pro fession, which demanded more devo ation to others’ welfare.

Season . JV . vagabond will stop a moment when It crosses his path and stare at It In open-eyed wonderment. In some subtle way civility touches hearts and knits mankind closer to gether, yet, despite this fact. It has a long way to go and a great deal of hard work to do before It can over take the masses and make them un derstand Its true worth. To those who are just starting careers, and especially to the young, good manners are as essential to their success as good commendations. Indeed, politeness may be said to be the better thing of the two, for the reason that It builds character, and makes It imposing in the eyes of oth ers. * • • There Is no time In one’s life that courtesy of behavior In the treatment of others falls to win recognition. The employee who Is uniformly civil, considerate of his or her em ployer, and thoughtful of associates as well, Is usually the first to win pro motion. If you will think back, study cause and effect, you will find as you reflect that the greater number of failures in life had their beginning In incivility, | and that those who today are conspic j uously successful in the arts, profes sions and industries were In their be ginning, and are now, habitually courteous in words and acts.

'T'HE “stars” are really suns which are continually throwing off light, precisely as our sun Is throwing It off. The light passes through differ ent layers of air and vapor before it reaches our eyes. These layers, being of different thickness or density make the light of the star appear to flicker or twinkle, just as a motion picture film which is run too slowly flickers. The light is reduced In Intensity by one layer of air and increased by the next, with the result that It appears to shiver—a condition which we have described by the word “twinkle.” Dust In the air causes this twink ling to appear greater, to be magnified or accentuated. Dust also gives rise to rain, as each particle of it forms the nucleus for a rain drop. This, then, is 'the scientific foundation for the old weather proverb that “When the stars begin to twinkle, soon the earth will be a-sprinkle.” (Copyright) -o The Old Story.
