eminence are no longer secured at a
single leap. Men ami women have
e- ased to succeed iu a hurry. Oc-
casionally there will be an exception,
but the instance- are rare. Success, I
a writer has said, is the child of con-
fidence and perseverance, and never
was the meaning of a word more
clearly dellunl. The secret of many
successful careers is the thorough
performance of whatever has been;
undertaken. An t xcellent maxim in
.that win 11 counsels us never to put
our hands to anything into which we
cannot throw our whole energies har-
in-ssed with the very best of our en-
deavors. l'erse vera lice is essential

The life of a Poetess.

health, hut a a her own health suffers

California their future home. She
is now a woman of thirty-nine, and
she wrote the well knowu verses
when she was under seventeen. All
she got for tlie.n was a letter of
thanks from the editor of a Detroit
newspaper to whom shu sent the
liues. She is a uative of ludiana,
and passed her childhood in great
poverty. She sava: "Of all dull,
prosaic lives, mine wan tile dullest
and most prosaic." When she wrote
" Curfew ' she had uo education and
no knowledge of hooks, thflugfTMte
afterward applied herself to them
and became a school teacher. Hut
even during her early married life it
was more important to lu-r reputa-
tion among her neighbors that she
should " keep house" iu approved
fashion than that she should write
well, and she remarks: " t'ntil the
year Iisno I was launilryniaid. cook,
seamstress and nurse for my child-
ren." This experience recalls the
story of Mrs. (.corgi- Kiphy. to
whom suspended Harvard students
lined to go lo be coached. Someone
is -aid to have found her listening at
tile same time to one boy who was
reciting (ireck. and another who
was demonstrating a proposition in

That a cat will suck a baby 's breath

given her little daughter, a child of

on the lounge to sleep. A half
hour later Mrs. Whitney glanced
into the room ami was alarmed to
sec a large cat belonging to the
family crouched on the little girls
breast with its head close to her
mouth. the motlu-r screamed iu
terror and the cat ran away. The
child was insensible and its face was pliates
purple. A physician was called. Tennessee raukn second in pea-
