\GEI-IIIERE\ SPIRIT MIGHTY POWER OF ENTHUSIASM AGAINST OBSTACLES IN THE PATHWAY TO SUCCESS. \Dead -in -Earnest\ Men -What Borne of Them Have Accomplished - Talent of Less Impor- tance Than Zeal. - By Orison Swett Marden. (Founder :red Editor or ••sueeeee\ Maga' sine, author of \Pushing to the Front,\ \Rising in the World, or Architects of Fate,\ Etc.) \H OW is it, Mr. Garrick,\ said a learned bishop to the famous actor, \that you can, by your acting, per- suade people that a made-up story is true, while I have difficulty in making them believe the real trueh?\ \lea not, my lord,\ was the reply, \that you preach the truth as if you did not believe It, while I act that which is not true as if I did believe it?\ The enthusiasm for his art which made David Garrick the greatest actor of Lis time, is absolutely essential to high achievement in any field of en- deavor. You will search in vain, in all the wide range of history or biography, for any record of a half-hearted or in- different worker who accomplished any- thing for himself or for humanity. The martyrs, the inventas, the artists, the music lans. tee poets, the great writers, the heroes, the pioneers of civilization. the movers of every great enterprise - those of every race and clime who have led the world upward front the dawn of history to the twentieth century -have been enthusiasts. consecrated, dead -in - earnest, people.

Like roe,st other old ideas, which, after hav- ing rooted themselves deeply into the minds Of the public, and hav- ing been held and clung to through centuries by the masses, then suddenly exploded and faded entirely from iew, ao hie idea, namely, \That it is impossible to live without eating meat,\ has also long since given place to more rvasonable and modern views. There are few who would volunteer the statement that they \could not live without meat.\ That they would not, is quite another matter. It is a well-known fact that flesh food is in no way necessary tor the sustenance of life, and in 07e past few years we have seen many exam- ples of what we could do if we were obliged to do so. The recent high prices of meat have done much to bring about this important crisis in the epoch of American meat -eating. To entirely discontinue the use of meat, would, of course, bring about many marken changes. It would first stop the raising of cattle for the purpose of slaughtering them; it would do away with the hor- rors known to exist in transportation of the animals and oblige the men now engaged in this work to seek less bloody jobs. It would secondly cause the general adoption of a pure and whole- some diet, for it is an accepted fact that ineat-eating is, to a large extent, responsible for many of the common ills with which American meat - eaters are afflicted. We should find that we would hear less of gout, Bright's disease. trouble with the liver and kidneys and even consump- tion. Appendicitis has, by late authorities, been attributed entire!' to this error in diet, and thus we might go on indefinitely enumerating such ills which to nonmeat-eating races are practically unknown. Rheu- matism and nlativ diseascs of the blood might thus be avoided, and every year would find the race stronger and healthier than the preced- ing one. Man, not being a carnivorous animal (as shown by the anatomical construction of his stomach and the absence of true canine tectli), would find among the herbs, nuts. fruits and vegetables the proper proportions and kinds of food intended for him by nature. No doubt, necessity, the mother of invention. would find ways enough to prepare the varieties and combinations desired (if not eceininel ) by our touch corrupted tastes and fancies. strenuously oppored by his friend'.

The expert at curing tobacco is al- ways careful to open the barn doors and elatsforample ventilation during bright, dry days, the first few weeks after the leaf is hung. These experts are equally careful to close up the barn at this sea- son, during muggy nights, orwhen thcre is much hurieldity in the air. To keep out the night's dampness and to get rid of accumulated evaporation of moisture in the tobacco barn during bright, dry days, Is the first step toward a good cure. Yet how often even this fundamental precaution is neglected. Then the careless farmer wonders at pole sweat. There le no excuse for this negleet in good weather. In bad weather-- that Is. when there is touch rain or mugginess, with little sunshine or circulation - while the leaves are still comparatil ely green in the barn, is a condition that every intel- ligent tobacco planter dreads. If this condition continues any great length ot time there is great danger of polo sweat or tat butte. If this danger be- comes acute it can be practically guaru- ed against by artificial heat and artificial draft. To provide these set up a stove as near the middle of the tobacco bheti as con- venient, runnitfk the smohe pipe to the end of the barn as near the flour as pos.- cible, at just enough incline to make a draft. Near the end of the barn, of course, the pipe turns upward and romps out at the roof or high enough on the Fide. to iteure a draught. Kee p a very moderate fire, remove the tobacco that hangs near the stoat- or near the pipe and as the leaves clueest the source of heat dry out exchange such slats for those hang- ing in the more dietant places, where. the mien:titre la still great. Open the cupola or the doors in the peak or make openings in the peak lin - der the eaves.then admit air at the bot- tom. The heat will form a current that will gee:many drive off the air within the barn, which is laden with the es ap- crated inoleture from the leaves. Of course, in good, bright, dry ‚ teeth , r this precaution is not needed, but tor lack of it in Prolonged wet weather meet; leaf in ruined. The amount of heat must be regulated with great rare ell as not to °sentry or bake the leaves. The latter risk can be reduced toa minimum com- pared to the danger from pole sweat in prolonged muggy weather. Hang burlap to protect tobacco in sheds where the door Is missing or where the leaves may be wind -whipped or scorched by the afternoon sun.

Retard Completion and Increase Ex- penae of the Great Sim- plon Tunnel, Engineer Sulzer told the Society Of 13Witi:i Engineers at Winterthur, Switz- erland, the other day of the difficultiee that are delaying the completion of the Simplon tunnel a year beyond the con- tract time. He said that the predictions at the geologists were incorrect, and as the estimates of the cost uf the tunnel and the time It would take to dig it were partly based upon the geological profile supplied to the engineers, the estimates were also wrung, reports a London pa- per. \The views of the geologists.\ said Mr. Sulzer, \proved to be extremely incor- rect. They told us, for example, that from their examination of the dip and strike of the rock exposures they were confident that we should find a strata tilted loa more unless perpendicular po- sition, which would be favorable for ex. eavation. \But instead of crossing the strata in a practically vertical position, we found them almost or quite horizontal. This increased the labor of perforation and required enormous sums of money to make the roof of the tunnel secure. The rock was not so solid or cohesive as it would have been if the excavation had penetrated vertical strata. \The geologists told us that we should encounter little water on the southern, or Italian, side of the tunnel. The fact was, however, that we met great streams of water. From August, 1900, to the present time no less than 1.022 liters a second have been pouring from the south end. \The geologists also told us that we should probably find troublesome streams at kilometer five on the north side of toe mountain. It was just here !, the rock was perfectly dry. . \The pressure on the roof of the tun- , net is much greater than it veould have been If the rock strata had been vertical. In one stretch about a halt -mile long the pressure was so great that no means we had hitherto used were adequate. , \Large tree trunks put in for sup- ports were broken. We finally intro- : (Owed many steel pillars supporting a steel vaulting with which we lined the roof. The diffieuity \as overcome only after six months of dangerous work. In which our average advance in digging was only 25 e•entimetere a day Instead of had we been led to expect the almost intolerable heat we encountered, ene had been told that the maximum tem- perature at the depth of excavation would probably be 1o7 degrees Fahren- heit.
