One View of the Man Wbo Hnuntz
Own Home Circle
Tim foolishness of wives is shown in
their warfare against the club be it
good or bad and their indiscriminate
laudation of the domestic man The
latter is not apt to be an alluring per
sonality for oscillating between down
town and home his circle of interests
Is necessarily narrow and be J
bly takes up -with more or less petty
matters and becomes a domestic mar
tinet or a tame cat All the big civic
interests that engage the energies of
public spirited men in their leisure
from business he ignores as he does
association with men identified with
other worthy interests The petty gos
sip of the home and the evening paper
constitute the typical domestic mans
mental sustenance in his moments of
relaxation from the grind of money
making and apart from merely hav
ing him within reach It is hard to un
derstand what pleasure the wife can
take In this variety of husband for he
apparently feels under no obligation to
make himself agreeable It Is not he
who makes the meal cheerful by set
ting the conversational joace in the di
rection of amusing stories or interest
ing Information his usual contribution
being fussy comment on gome trivial
domestic incident More often he eats
In silence and departs In the shortest
time possible for the most desirable
chair in the living room there to re
main for the remainder of his evening
Such a man however good a provider
he may be for his family is a social
vegetable merely in whom no woman
Is justified in taking pride at this day
when the need in public affairs is for
citizens who bear their share of the
burdens peculiar to our nation and
times Vogue
POINTED PARAGRAPHS
Do so well today that you need not
long for tomorrow
Some men only want jour confi
dence to give It to others
If a man were his own enemy what
stories he could tell on himself
Dont judge a man by his first friend
ships In a town judge him by his last
Dont give your friends Indigestion
by trying to poke people you like
down their throats
When we think of the ease with
which we deceive others we should
think of the ease with which others
may deceive us
Good news travels not go rapidly
as bad news of course but it travels
Do a good thing and people will hear
of It in time
Everybody understands that an old
boiler must be treated with care but
very few understand that an old stom

Spencer and the Great Riddle
To every aspect of the problem of life
tieruert spencer must nave given
thought but he has plainly declared
that the human intellect as at present
constituted can offer no solution The
greatest mind that this world has yet
produced the mind that systematized
all human knowledge that revolutioniz
ed modern science that dissipated ma
terialism forever that revealed to us
the ghostly unity of all existence that
re established all ethics upon an im
mutable and eternal foundation the
mind that could expound with equal
lucidity and by the same universal
formula the history of a gnat or the
history of a sun confessed itself be
fore the riddle of existence scarcely
less helpless than the mind of a child

Dodola and Rain
The Servian peasants have a curious
old ceremony of Invoking rain which
they carry out during dry weather
The women of the village dress a girl
in leaves and grass from head to foot
and lead her from house to house At
each door the occupant pours a bucket
ful of water over her head while her
companions who are mostly girls of
her own age chant prayers for the
wished for showers Invisible clouds
of rain are believed by the peasants to
follow the girl whom they name Do

Sir 5L Pearson
Builder of
Great Cunnels
GltEAT engineering work Is In
progress in New York city
where the waters of the East
river flow placidly on their
course between the foot of Thirty
fourth street Manhattan borough and
part of the borough of Queens known
as Long Island City It Is here that
four tunnels are being bored under the
river for the use of the Pennsylvania
and Long Island railroads Before
long trains from the west will pass
through the Pennsylvania tunnels un
der the North river and under the
streets and skyscrapers of the borough
of Manhattan to the great station down
underground in the center of the citys
busiest district Nor will they stop
here for some will continue on their
way until they have passed under the
East river and emerged Into the sun
light again when they will speed on
till the farthest point of Long Island
Is reached and there deliver their pas
sengers and freight to ships waiting to
take them across the ocean
The construction of these four parallel
tunnels under a rnlghty stream like the
East river is a task of enormous mag
nitude yet It is only one among many
large enterprises which claim the at
tention of the English contractor Sir
Weetman D Pearson M P He is the
head of the firm of S Pearson Son
limited of London and besides attend
ing to big engineering projects in dif
ferent parts of the world looks out for
the constituency of Colchester in par
liament lie Is rarely heard in the
house of commons but that is because
he is a man of deeds rather than words
The firm of which he Is the head was
founded bj his grandfather the S
Pearson whose name appears in the
title of the firm now His father was
the late George Pearson and the firm
has long enjoyed a high reputation but
during Sir Weetmans time its work
has taken on greater importance than
in earlier years One of the large en
terprises now in charge of the firm is
the reconstruction and completion of

SIK WEETMAN X PEARSON
the Tehuantepec railroad In Mexico and
its terminal ports on the Atlantic and
Pacific sides
Sir Weetman was born in ISoG and is
now at his prime as a man of affairs
He was first chosen to parliament in
1892 and in 1894 was created a baronet
in recognition of his engineering
achievements In 18S1 he married An
nie daughter of the late Sir John Cass
of Bradford and they have a son
Clive now taking his course at Oxford
and a daughter who recently married
Lord Denman The Pearsons dispense
a lavish hospitality at their London
home Carlton House Terrace and
though Sir Weetman is fond of good
living he is not an aristocrat but is
democratic in manners and a thorough
man of business In the boring of the
tunnels under the East river the Eng
lish contractor makes it his policy to
employ for the most part American
labor and American tools and mate
rials His firm obtained the contract
in competition with American con
tractors He comes to this country sev
eral times a year as a rule to super
vise the work and also spends much
time in Mexico where he has on hand
even a larger project than the tunnel
ing of the East river It was his firm
which constructed the Vera Cruz har
bor works costing 3000000 and the
great 15000000 canal which drains
the valley of Mexico By the Tehuan
tepec railroad with its terminals on
the east and west of the continent the
Mexicans hope to compete successful
ly with the Panama canal for trans
continental traffic The road from sea
to sea is now practically completed
The task involved the boring of sev
eral tunnels through the mountains
and the construction of several splen
did steel bridges It also involved the
construction of harbors at either end
of the road a task of greater magni
tude and more engineering difficulties
than the building of the railroad itself
An Idea of the extensive character of
the work may be obtained from the
fact that at Rincon Antonio a new
town has been built with all facilities
for making the life of the companys
employees agreeable and homelike In
cluding church clubhouse company
stores and lodge rooms for societies
It Is said that Sir Weetman Pearson
is proudest of having built the Black
well tunnel under the Thames Engi
neering difficulties were encountered
and overcome in this work that made
subsequent tasks seem easy
PATRIOTIC OLE BULL
The GrentcKt Political Influence I
Modern Norwny
What waa it that made Ole Bull un
deniably the greatest political Influ
ence In the history of modern Norway
The riddle Is easy to read Although
he voiced the peasants his own voice
was that of no peasant but one of tl
most severely learned of European ut
terances Ills instrumental mastery
was complete and the technical diffi
culties of his compositions have left
them for the most part unperfonnuble
But Mozart was his chosen theme
worshiped with such an ardor of con
secration that the whole range of hLs
works had for him no secret HIrf
fame therefore was of that order that
opens all doors Statesmen and chief
captains like Bismarck and Von Moltke
were his intimates and he was their
confidant To world artists like Liszt
Chopin and Mendelssohn he was own
brother Indeed n curious physical
resemblance between Liszt and himself
led to many amusing contretemps on
this score And sovereigns diplo
matists and great nobles were all
proud to name him among their friends
In him then Norway had found one
who could stand for her In the highest
ranks of the nations learn for her the
secrets of statecraft and recover In
her behalf the trick of thinking like a
king For this is one of the losses en
tailed on a people who arc governed
by foreigners from a foreign seat that
they forget to think of their country
as a whole the habit that Is the secret
of rulers
Yet It was only as a man and not
by any means as a politician that an
autocrat could claim the friendship of
the distinguished artist Ills own sov
ereign felt that he had cause for grave
offense when the news reached Stock
holm In 1S 18 of his heading a pro
cession in Paris to present the Norwe
gian colors to Lamartine But even
royal anger could not resist the good
stories told on the next visit and the
king stood biting his lip at the careless
bonhomie of Ole Bull as he turned
suddenly and said By the way sire
you should have been with us the other
day in Paris when we went to ac
claim Lamartine Margaret E Noble

WOMENS WEAR IN WARTIME
Homemade Cloth of Many ICinds
Scraped Horn For HatN
We had one cotton mill to spin the
warp The people stood in line to get
a bunch of cotton for warp The filling
was yarn cotton flax and tow We
got our dyestuff from the forest It
was almost as bad on timber as the
taubark trade is now There was great
rivalry among the Avomen to see who
could have the prettiest dress I have
a quilt made of cotton and linen called
a Confederate quilt
The clothing for every member of the
family was made from the raw ma
terial carded spun woven dyed and
made with homespun thread
The tow linen cloth had one peculiar
ity It was a great stretcher It was
often exchanged for other things A
man and his wife started to town with
cloth sufficient to get some aticles On
the way he remembered he needed a
gimlet also He told his wife They
decided to tie the ends of the cloth
to two saplings he to stretch a gim
let out of it
I took great Interest in the silk in
dustry We fed the worms on mul
berry leaves and such beautiful silk
we did have A bright stripe In a cot
ton dress made it very fine A family
made gloves beautiful silk mitts with
bees embroidered on the back Noth
ing went to waste The thorn trees
furnished us pins and hairpins Our
millinery was our crowning effort
Hats were made of cotton thread cro
cheted put on a block stretched very
stiff arid ironed then wired We had
homemade flowers and all kinds of ma
terial for trimming A cloth frame
made stiff and covered with scraped
cows horn was much admired if it
did look like a cocoanut cake Char

This Stream Rnns Up mil
One of the few instances of a stream
running up hill can be found in White
count- Ga Near the top of a moun
tain is a spring evidently a siphon
and the water rushes from it with suf
ficient force to carry It up the side of
a very steep hill for nearly half a mile
Reaching the crest the water flows on
to the east and eventually finds its
way to the Atlantic ocean Of course
it is of the same nature as a geyser
but the spectacle of a stream of water
flowing up a steep incline can probably
be found nowhere else in the country
and appears even more remarkable
than the geysers of the Yellowstone
Overconfidence
It is a dangerous point in any mans
career when he feels sure of his posi
tion or his fame Overconfidence is
the first sign of a decline the first
symptoms of deterioration We do our
best work when we are struggling
for our position when we are trying
with all our might to gain our ambi
tion to attain that which the heart
longs for Success Magazine
