He began life on this side a a peddler of shoe atrlngs. Having earned a few dollars, he con ceived the Idea of meeting Incoming ships and changing money for foreign ers. This business proved most lucra tive. Ily and by ho engaged one or two runners" to attend to thn vessels he himself could not meet, and In due course he opened a small office near the main piers. Tho role of money changer became profitable beyond all expectations. From the small office he moved to more commodious quarters In the heart of the financial district and blossomed out as a member of the New York Stock Exchange. To-day, as Indi cated, he Is a millionaire, but he has never lnt the Industrious habits to which he owes the foundation of his romarkshle success. He Jokingly re marks that most of his lest ideas coma to him while Wall street sleer. Since America Is composed of halt the races of the earth, Americans, tak en altogether, are amazing polyglots. But thoao of us who were born to the English language and no other are said to be woefully deficient In knowledge of foreign tongues. Such an assertion Is hard to vefy. Americans are liv ing all over the world; we are great travelers, and we are au alert, acquisi tive people. If It Is true that at scien tific and political congresses foreign ers understand our delegates better than our delegates understand them. then it may be argued that our men In various Intellectual pursuits havo not been trained as they should be In German and French, which are almost Indispensable to one who pretends to keep up with the best thought of tho world. Moreover, If, as a professor of many years' experience In examining candidates for admission to a largo college has recently written, loys who have studied "advanced" French nnd German eauuot rend easy prose in those languages nt sight, then no douhl our school methods are not so good ns they should be. It Is doubtful, how ever, If y a language can be learned well, even In a good school, along with the other necessary subjects. Languagt la learned by use. The scientific man with mind enough to be valuable In his subject can get for himself any language that he needs. Moreover, nil other nations are Inviting us to neglect their tongues by their universal wllb Ingness to learn English, l'erhaps w need all our energies to master on language ourselves. Francois Coppce, when asked If he knew English, re plied, "No, I am Htlll busy studying French."

THE BLOOD-STAINED THRONE OF SERUM King Peter Finds It No Joke to Rule the Fiery Little Huropean Monarchy. HIS PREDECESSORS BUTCHERED. The Crown Frlnce George Retires and Alexander, a Younger Broth er, Takes His Flace. No monarch in modern times ever ascended a bloodier throne limn that to which King IVter of Servla was called In 100.'!. No one nt the time ex pected that be would esoiipe nssas'diia tloti or bo permitted to reign for any length of time. In fact it was a Ion time before the powers accepted h'm with any cordiality, for It was hard to believe that he was entirely Innocent of at least n previous knowledge of the terrible tragedy which was to shock thn civilized world and place a throne at of the palace wlndnw Into the court yard. j Tk Co ml f Peter. Then Teter, a descendant of a former dynasty, residing In seclusion In Switz erland, was sent for and was elevated to the bloodstained throne. There was a demand on the part of the powers that he punish the regicides, but he was either unwilling or not strong enough to do this nnd tlie murderers retained their places of prominence nnd Influ ence. Half a dozen times It has been ru mored that Peter would prefer to aban don his scepter and again seek the safe ty and comfort of private life, but the unpopularity of his eldest S'n made this impossible unless ho cared to eo some member of the old dynasty or some scion of one of the great powers of Kuroe elevated to the Servian throne. The crown prince has been n thorn in the flesh of King IVter for several yen rs. Hehashad as a following a large uumlier of the younger and more erratic of these fiery people nild has leen given to some very silly boast ing. When n few months ngo Austria-Hungary gobbled up Bosnia nnd Herzego vina Servln went mud with Indignation and there sprang Into existence a psrty who would appeal to arms and declare war against their giant enemy. IVter realized the hoiK-lessness of any such effort, but. the crown prince, boastful and braggart, talked loudly in the Cafes Wv? ttti !'- K .J?.4$ " '' ' The man who has been hired to dra matize one of Henry James' novejs baa a unique plan to begin autherend end rewrite It forward, cutting out very third word.

Those who have not lived In India nor have made a special study of its unique conditions can hardly under atand the differences and hatreds that exist among the different peoples. Be tween the Mussulman and the Hindu, the Punjabi and tho Bengali, the Sikh and the Brahmin, and between many Of the smaller divisions of religion race and caste, there Is no such thing as cohesion or cooperation; and If, to a small degree, the rigid lines of caste have been broken down here and there, o that labor and commerce under mod rn conditions havo been mado isirk! ble, it Is due In no small degree to the efforts of Great Britain.

Tropical Orchard in Yard and Uar- dn for Jacksonville, Fla. That Jacksonville will lie metamor phosed Into a city beautiful next win-. ter seems assured. The initiative taken by the Board of Trade In a movement to plant tropical fruit trees In the gar. dens and yards of residences In thaj city has struck a popular chord, hatfnij met with popular approval of property owners. Those who have tried to adop the plan will endeavor to persuade their nelgbbora to fall In line. Crowing tropical plauta lu Jackson ville seems to many people, no doubt, absurd, the Times-Union of that city aays. However Impracticable it may appear, tho plan will be carried out to successful realization. Some years ago largo and handsome orange trees were even thriving In the streets of the city and scattered about the country were numerous bearing groves. These were greatly admired by the Northern tourists, who, although couiimratlvely small In nam her In those days, vlaited the State annually and spout much of the winter here. Along came the freeze of 1803 and wiped out of existence within ono night practically every orange tree then growing lu or near the city. The cold wave not only wrought havoc here, but entered tho very heart of the State, nipping and damaging tender vegetation. Slnco the freeze no effort to restore tropical fruit trees here has been made, it being contended by many that the tender plants could uot withstand the occasional cold and that any effort put forth In the direc tion would prove useless exiense. Now comes the discovery of t lie trl follata stock, which remains dormant during tho entire winter months und is of mitllclent toughness to withstand cold of a much greater temperature than that which la usually blowu Flor lduward. Onto this hard, tough stock can be budded orange, gniefrult, tan gerine and other citrus fruit. If plant ed out during the mouth of March the tree would blossom the coming spring and bear fruit the following winter. j& ' M KINO rETtitt OF SERVIA. I . . 'J. : his dlsiKisal.

George returned to Servla and sulked In his tent. His father threatened him with arrest unless ho abandoned his warlike attitude, but there was still n large element which drilled and strut ted and talked of wiping Austria off the map if George would only lead them to the fray. Peter tried in every way to Induce tho powers to Interfere and compel Aus tria either to restore the two provinces to their former state or to remunerate Servla for the loss of Serb prestige. But, while the nations grumbled at tho hlgh-hnnded net of Austria-Hungary, the dual kingdom was adamant. Fran cis Joseph knew he had his .?opU sol idly behind hlin. He was prepared for an appeal to arms, lie realized that Germany stood ready to side with him and to frustrate nuy effort Grout Brit ain might make In favor of the Serbs. Uussla, to the surprise nnd indignation of tho Servians, Instead of proving their champion, consented to tho pol icy of Austria with scarcely a murmur. King Teter realized that war would mean the effacing of his little kingdom and has used his influence to keep his angry subjects In check. By the col lective action of the powers at Belgrade tho annexation of Bosnia and Herze govlnn became a closed Incident.

By Dr. W, Hutchinson. The first condition of the modern educa tional system which I would criticise Is the confinement of the child In a stuffy room for five or Fix hours a day. He must begin by following di lined precise methods and must not even wiggle in his seat. Then the school today docs not teach the things which are of inoKt Imporiniice to the pupil. The child Ik taught to draw lines to represent tho cor.sts of Europe, and the liistrcctlor.s given in hygiene are ludicrously Inadequate. Another criticism is that a great deal of time Is wasted teaching the child things that he would barn by Instinct. A child would grow to read and to write, and If he were allowed to run about long enough he would grow to cipher. A boy with rea sonably intelligent parents and surroundings will make his own start toward his mental development. We try to gel the child to express ideas that we are not at all certain he has to express. We would get far better results by developing the health of the whole body than by directing all our energy to the one end, and the wrong end at that the top Instead of the base. WHY SOME WOMEN CAN'T GET WORK. By Winifred Black. Mrs. Bradley, the woman who killed Sen ator Brown In Washington some time ago, is In trouble. She can't got work, she says. Mrs. Bell, a Colorado woman, who ran away from her husband with another man, is In trouble. She can't get work, she says. A woman I know came to see me. She Is In trouble. She can't get work, she says. The woman I know held quite a responsible and wcll-puyiug position with a prominent firm until about a year ago. Then she fell In love with a married man, and the married man's wife came to the ottlce nnd made scenes and the woman I know lost her position. "I can't get n thing to do," nbe said to me. "Everywhere I go they ask me where I worked last, and then they telephone and find out all about my trouble and I dou't get the place." (How cruel the world is to a woman who has made n mistake. And yet, somehow, I'm afraid I cannot, for my part, shed many tears worrying over the world's cruelty to womau who have shown the world Just ex actly what sort of weak creatures they are. If two women come to me for employment In my home, I choose the woman with the best record, don't you? Per haps I cm cruel to want to know what the woman who wishes to work for me did In the last place where she worked. Perhaps I ought to look ujion her ns a brand new intiuar being with a brand-new record but I don't. IK you? I don't see why the world should smllo upoq women who haven't cared enough for the world'a opln Ion to keep a good reputation. It's a good deal of a buy and sell proposition- this living business. We pay for what we want or what we think we want, not for what the person who is trying to sell us the goods wants u to want. I know two sisters, both of them clever, both pretty, both lndistrlous and both extremely good business woin en. One of them has n bank account, email, but safe, a good Income and a lot of sincere, true-hearted friends. Thn other, equally capable. Is In debt, has two frocks to her name nnd Is half the time out of a position. The world isn't trying to get even with the second sister it's Just paying her in her own coin for her own work. She's light-headed and vain, and she gets heraclf talked about In every office where Mie works. Then she won ders why her sister, who attends strictly to business and keeps her mime free from even a whisper, gets along so much better than she does. I don't see anything won derful about it, do you? It's lots of fun running bills but it Isn't so much fun when the collector begins to come around. The world treats women. Just about as the particular woman In her particular place has treated the world, I wonder why there Is anything particularly pathetic about that? REST CURE OR WORK CURE? By Prof. Llewellyn P. Barker. While we must protect our minds by avoid ing any Injury to our nervous forces, still we must actively exercise our minds If we are to strengthen them and lead tiiem to tha fullest development of which they ore capable. A brain and its corresponding mind will be come weak If it is not used, Just as surely as a muscle will waste and weaken if It ha9 no exercise. Our minds should have suitable occupation nnd proper work to do. Many of the people who apply to physicians for a rest cure really need a work cure more. Properly ordered work docs uot hurt tho mind, but helps it. There is, however, such a thing as overexertion. It is by no means uncommon among our high-strung, ambitious and ovcrconsclentlous people, nnd leads to nervous exhaustion and all the physical and mental evlla which this couOltlon carries in Its train. Our efforts to strengthen the mind by ex'-rclso are defeated If we think only of the work and neglect proper nutrition and suit able Intervals of! rest and diversion. The strong niinaT Is not made in baste, but results from a long, slow and sensible training. Good sleep nt night, restful rocrentlon Sundays and Eolldays, enjoyable exercise in the open iy, the espeiitial to It.

Walking, intelligently practiced, Is al ways enjoyable. Constant change of scene nnd tho buoyancy communicated by light, nir and the fresh smells of the open country give a sugar coating to tho medicine. But there is a secret or two in walk ing not In the how. but in the where nnd the distance. Walking, like other physienl exercUe. is harmful, rather than beneficial, if overdone. A wise walker will reach home pleasantly, not painfully, fatigued. The beginner at walking for recreation should attempt no record-breaking tramps but should accustom herself gradually to the exer cise. And to enjoy it one must walk to somewhere, not tramp Idly about with no objective jsiint. There may be some pleasure in walking merely for walk ing's sake, but the real relish lies In carrying out a planned excurslou to some simt of interest. Fnder such con ditions tho attention Is fixed ahead and not under one's feet. Walking with a companion, even if the companion Is only a dog, Is much pleasanter than walking alone.
