And the Insecurity end unreliability of his underpinning do not seem to give him the least concern bo long as he look* over the heads of hie companions and see* them gazing up at him with envious eyes. There are people In this world—ma ture men and woipen—who remind ine tot these boys. Every day they are to be encoun tered on life's thoroughfares stalking along on stilts. The Stilt Breaks. There arc the people who have In herited a name, a position and a com petence. for Instance, hut who do not think It worth while to cultivate the character or the Industry of the an cestor* who built tlielr stilts for them. How they tower above the poor, toll ing hero! How they monopolize the pavements of ea^th! And how Indiffer ent they are to the comfort of the pigmy pedestrians who have only two feet to walk oh and no stilts to give them prominence in ::i?t-rowil! With three fictitious aids to locomo tion they not Infrequently trip and bruise their less conspicuous fellow men and pass on without an apology. They inuke a tall showing in the crowd, these little sons and daughters of lurge dead men-for a time. Then—down they go! The stilts are broken. The‘street cleaners carry away the fragments, and the small heroes of an hour nre lost in the crowd or taken away to quiet retreats and forgotten by a fickle world. Htit nu re frequently encountered, es pecially In the crowded streets of n large ’metropolis, are the ambitious people who walk about on the stilts furntsned t» Uit.ii creditors. Raault Inevitable.

A MONG the most picturesque re- sulta of ret>nl uaironomlcal studies Is the revelation of a surprising number of stirs which al ternately approach and then recede from the earth, or else either advance or retreat with astonishing changes of velocity, nt one time rushing earth ward at the rate of perhnps twenty miles per second, and then arresting themselves and reducing their speed to only three or tour miles p«m s*h*- ond. Tncae erratic dsnring stsrs arc found In all part* of the sky. Home of them. In tplte of their changes or variations of velocity, are gradually drawing near er ti* us, while others nre moving away. Among them Is Included ono of the greatest stars In the heavens, the fiery red Antares. In the ron«tcllatlon Bcor* |4o. This huge orb. which Is known .ito .bf many times brighter than our slin. has been found at times to he ap proaching the* earth with a speed of about a mile and a quarter per second and at other flints to he retreating nt as much «s three ami a half miles-per ssrond rpon the whole Antnrvs ap- liaars t.* |>« receding Into the depths of spacr. The swifter motions mentioned above have been detecteo among smaller star*, some of which probably possess less Intrinsic hrlghtm-- and a smaller mass than our run The fact that all the stars are tn mo. tlon. some going one wav ami smite an. othsr. has long been known, but the liccull.tr motions hen* r-fetred to hive a different origin The only explana tion. suggested for them is that the start thus affected by what set*im» a kind of dance craze are in nil case* double that Is t<* >a>. there at** really two stats concerned, where only one t« visible, and It Is the revolution of the visible star around the center *»f grav ity common to it and its unseen com panion v hlch •••tti*es the alternate ad vance mid retreat, or the successive, quickening ami vetanlat »*n «*f the mo* 1 Uar results follow from the orbital mo- TTrm TTf^the~rtsthle star. In those cuma^s In which the direction of motion doe* not appear reversed, hut only it change of speed, either if approach or recession occurs, the explanation Is found In the fact that .th« orbital motion It not so swift a* the general motion, the con sequence being that at one time it seems to gccelornle the latter and nt other times to retard It. but never to overcome It. There nre two proofs that stars pos sessing these motions really are, u* the explanation suggests, dmtirte stars. The ilrst, proof Is dlrlkt, and Is found in the fllft that some of then* can uctu« ally bo seen double'with tetesCOpe*\ the dark star l»elng entirely without light. The second proof comes from the spec troscope. which, by nnulyxlng the light of the visible star, revohla the shifting of the spectral lines caused by It* to and from movements and furnishes data by means of which the motions of the two stars may he disentangled. This proof depends, of course, upon In ference. but It fit* In so exactly with observed facts that Its validity cannot he doubted. I bools are the moat pitiable of ob jects. The Worthy Succeed. The majority of aelf-made men and women, the majority of self-support ing people, have known times of ac cumulated disasters when they seemed obliged to oak their employers or their friends for a temporary loan, or their creditor* for time. Illness, loss of position, unexpected drain* upon the purse through sud- ibmtli. nr rnntlnUfd «tckne«s of members of the family will bring such a crisis to the most provident. But I am convinced, the longer I live and the more I study people, that to the really worthy character, the real, deter mined soul, and the really honest heart, a debt presents Itself always as nn Ig nominy, and the Idea of a loan ns the last resort; and such a man or woman, when driven to this necessity, makes the debt a matter of religious feeling, and never rests until It Is paid. Always, where much u feeling exists— always. In spite of trusts and corpora- i lions and panics and hard times—the ray opens to pay that debt.

Ami yon, hunpv wive*, whom- heart •st. determined soul, bound to do the right thing. Alwaya the way opens for that soul after a time. Cauaaa of Trouble. Of enothtr fact I grow more and more certain every year. There le eomethlng fundamentally wrong with the man or woman who I* alwaya In money straits, always want ing a loan, always with a story of a series of misfortunes to relate. There Is a screw loose In the mental or moral nature eomewhere. Look for It and find However InUustrlous, economical and honeat such a man may eeem to be. he !m, mentally or otherwise. Inviting mis fortune to remain with him. or It would not linger so long In one place. Mis fortune loves better to go about calling at every door now and then than to rest too long under one roof. Constant despondency, constant fear of trouble, perslutent pessimism will bring misfortune to the most Indus trious and provident. While It Is a privilege to help a really deserving and earnest being over a financial crisis, the habit of .lending money to the needy Is a dangerous one. Not dangerous to the leader—for the deed done through a desire to help another can never harm the doer—but It can harm the recipient. Easy to Borrow. The weak character find* the bum .i convenient crutch; by and by lie um«« another a* a cone, and get* along with so little personal effort that soon 1* mounts on stilts supplied by the .sym pathy of kind hearts, and Join* the ii*ti of the world’s good-for-nothing-, wj.. live by the sweat of other people 1 brow*. If he had "met"with less~syiiqMU!> m ' his first attempt at shifting hi* bur dens on other nhoulders he might have cultivated his own strength instead of his own weakness. To those who are trying to pluck up courage to ask for loans. I would say. Walt a little: trjx once again to help yourself. Believe you will succeed, and that God, the Great Banker, holds money for your use. and will not per- init you to be dependent on any one but Him. Miracles happen to those who have faith In God and In them- selves. And to those on stilts my advice Is: Get down before you fall down. ! THE REIGN OF BRIDGE ! By MRS. JOHN A.

In the old daye poker players were considered a menace to society and were shunned by self-respecting peo ple. A gambler hod no place among respectable people. His Influence was feared. There were no women gam blers except those who were outside of the pale of society. I«ater people began to go to Europe frequently and to visit Monte Carlo, where they contracted the nmnla for gambling. The ultra-fashionable and leisure class at summer resorts, In clubs and hotels. Indulged In poker and other gambling games until the moral and religious elements of society made ho strong a protest that game* of cards for money ceased to be played publicly. A majority of women used whatever of Influence they had against ened and one critic says; “The time the game occupies has been utilized by* a good many men to take an amount of liquor they would never, before the great vogue of the game, have had chance to drink after a dinner. "Before bridge came Into fashion a man sat for three-quarters or half an hour after dinner and then went home. It rarely happened that a drink was passed around or that a guest got one. "But bridge has changed all that. The minute some men sit down to play bridge they feel the necessity of having a drink. With a glass on the corner of the card table they sip It at Inter vals. "Then they want to smoke as well. I have seen men smoke one cigarette aft er another while they were playing bridge with women. How many drinks of Scotch they may take depends on their conscimces and the amount of nerve they have." When husbands and wives play, they are of course, generally opponents ( and this rivalry begun at cards ends in seri ous discord snd criticism of each other, ultimately In far too mAtty cases In a separation. Like everything else this erase for bridge, which Is founded on waste of time and dissipation, can have but one result, and that la mental and moral degeneracy. We hear rarely now of art, reading or benevolent societies. Bridge Is the only thing that the fashionables toler ate. A lady recently gave n musical on Sunday afternoon because she was afraid to try to get her old friends who had gone half Insane on bridge togeth er on any other day.
