There would seem to be about ns
many different prescriptions for win
nhis Miross as there are recipes for cur
ing a cold. Although the speakers who
have been addresslnc young men nt
ehool or college commencements agree
on one or two cardinal points , almost
all have different rules to offer. Very
few agree as to which factor In n
young man's character or conduct 13
uuv-t necessary to Insure to him a sue-
ivx-ful enreor The reason for the di
vergence of views Is easily explained.
The inau who has attained success In a
certain way naturally believes that his
way Is the best : Just ns a person who
has boon restored to health has more
confidence In the remedies he used than
In any others that could be suggested.
One man has had a college education ,
and believes that It was that which en
abled him to make use of his opportune
ties. Another man has had but llttla
schooling of any kind , and submits that
his success Is due to the fact that ha
started Into business as a mere boy.
One man has made a hobby of punctu
ality , and another has made the prac
Uee of frugality the foundation of hU
code of conduct.Vlth so much good
advice to consider , the young man who I
may be plannlnc a career has rather an
embarrassment of riches , but he will at
least be < afe In accepting the obviously
wise lesions offered him. and for the
rest keeping in mind that the problem
of career-making Is never twice alike.
Opportunities differ In every case , and
the differences In temperaments , tal
ents , bent of ndnd and Individual
diameter are even greater. It is true
that Industry , perseverance and ear
nestness will accomplish much , yet
there are Instances In which all have
been employed without success. On the
other hand , there have been cases
where success has been won with only
a modicum of thee fiualltle * . A < a
general rule. It may be set down that
a certain high native energy which
some men have and which others have
not is the compellins factor , and

The laws and rules against expecto
rating In public plr s as street cars ,
ferry boats , waiting rooms , etc. , are
becoming more and more widespread.
But a New York judge has made a rule
which will either send the anti-splt-
tlne ordinances into"irnocuousrtseue-
tude" or create an unprecedented de
mand for cuspidors. The judge re
ferred to discharged three men haled
before him on the charge of spitting
on the floor of a ferry boat. lie said
to the ofllcer who made the arrest :
"What's the use of arresting these
men ? You know that we will have to
discharge them whenever there is no
accommodation such as a cuspidor.
Men have to spit , and If cuspidors are
not provided , they have to spit else
where. "

The latest. Invention in fire escapes
for residences is being put into one of
the houses building in Fifth avenue ,
New York. The casual observer
knows nothingabout it , for it is in the
middle of the house , A contractor
thus describes it : "We are building a
sheet-iron shaft in the center ot the
house from the top floor to the base
ment. The walls are half an Inch
thick , anu so are the dcors which open
r.n each floor. There Is a spiral stair
way of iron , which can be reached
from any floor , and the Invention is
Ui'lnc to take where the builders have
plenty of money and do not want to
hpoll the outer appearance of the
bouse. "
