man, who had lost a member of

John Arbuckle, the coffee mer
chant of New Nork, has a plan for
aiding the worthy poor that seems
far better than any library scheme
yet devised, lie is going to build
a big hotel in Now York City for
the accommodation of working
people exclusively. The rates
will be $2.80 per week, or 40 cents
a day, for women, and $3.60 per
week, or 50 cents a day, for men.
The rooms are to be clean and
comfortable, and it is promised
that the meals will be of best food,
wholesome and well cooked. Mr.
Arbuckle will supervise the es
tablishment personally. He will
not take in those who arc able to
pay more, but will run the house
for the henelit of workers whose
wages are small. There will be
provided hooks, papers, magazines
and pianos in the common living
i ooine.
Sharing Success.
Whin one realizes what lift
really means in its higher relations
and duties, ii is pathetic to notice
how constantly people apologize
to one another for any small
trouble which they impose. Pile
young man who goes to ask the
man of established position for a
letter of introduction, or for per
sonal interest in securing an op
portunity for work, almost in
variably expresses regret for the
interruption which his request
necessitates; as if the world were
wholly selfish, and any kind of a
service done another were in a
way exceptional and out of the
common run of things.
That n man shall put his
strength, his time and his ability
into caring for his own is taken
for granted but if he is asked to
do anything for one else he is
thanked as if he were doing an un
usual thing. As a matter of fact,
the one duty is as close, as obvious
and as imperative as the other.
The man who throws the door
open to one who is waiting for an
opportunity has done nothing
more exceptional than if he had
put in an hour’s work in the gain
ing of his own board or the cloth -
ing of his own body. He is simp
ly doing what a respectable spirit
ual being might lie expected to do.
Throwing open the doors is ns
much the duty of the man who has
the opportunity as caring for his
own family. It is, indeed, one of
the highest rewards of success—
if one understands what success
means—to be in the way of put
ting others on the same road.
Nothing is more spiritually vul
gar and shabby than to climb up
and throw down the ladder which
one has climbed. Nothing shows
the true .nature of a man more
than the spirit in which he treats
success. If ho is mean and nig
gardly m his soul, he accepts :t as
a kind of personal distinction or
gift, and hoards it as a miser
hoards money; if he is generous
he spends it freely, eager that
others should share what he has
gotten. And no man deserves
success, or ought to keep it, who
fails to mako this spiritual use of
it. He who makes this use of it
caunot be corrupted by any kind
of success or spoiled by any kind
of prosperity; he who fails to do
this was corrupted and spoiled be
fore he began.—Dixie Manufac
turer.
Sam Jackson, who owns a large
farm near Stephensville, Texas, J
claims that he is entitled to the j
$50,000 reward offered bv the j
state, as he has discovered a plan
that will rid the fields of the great j
cotton pest, the boll weevil. His j
plan is to turn in either goats or j
sheep about the time the cotton is \
forming squares and these ani-
muls will soon defoliate the plants
and thus effectually destroy all the
bool weevils. The flock then ran
bo transferred to the next field,
and so on. After the animals are
removed the cotton will soon re
cover and make a good crop.
In Burlington, la., the other
day two doctors were whetting
their knives preparatory to per
forming an operation for appen
dicitis. The patient, suffering
Chinese Baby.
On the evening of the first day
after the Imby has arrived the |
paterfamilias, according to the
Chinese custom, prostrates him- 1
self before a joss, and, touching
his head to the floor, voices thanks
to the gods and to the honorable
ancestors for the small son who j
was sent perfect of body and full j
of health.
On the evening of I he second day
the ceremonoy is repeated, and on
tho third day the voice of the bus- j
hand in thanksgiving. Also on !
the third day a limited number of
relatives and friends are called in
to witness the first head shave.
The rooms of the home are decor
ated for this occasion with green
branches of either fir, cedar or
spruce, to insure fneng-suey, or
good luck, to the house.
Other ornamentations in honor
,4 the baby are long silk threads,
hearing little circles, squares and
hearts of gold and scarlet paper.
They are festooned from the walls
and arc hung from the ceiling.
A few feet away the threads are
invisible and the gay scraps of pa
per appear to he floating in the air.
For the head-shaving the guests
are seated in a semicircle before
i the joss. The mother is carried
j to a seat of honor to the right of
i the joss, and the baby, swathed in
j yards of scarlet and purple silk, is
l brought in on an elaborate pil
low.
