CHARLES H, PARKHURS' The most interesting thing about wire- Tess telegraphy covering a distance of 4,500 miles is that man is so marvellously constructed as to be able to discover the means of achieving ft. Humility and meekness are well enough in thelr way, but man ought to be proud of himself, it he can be so without being conceited— and the bigger the man the less likely he is to be con- celted. We may not be able, many of us, to do great things and make immense dlscoveries, but a little of the glory of large achieve- ment scatters down upon us by being of the same human can do such things. There is a hymn in one of our hymn books the first line of which runs, “Can such & worthless worm as 1" Cholrs are not invited to sinv it as much as formerly, We do not make God any greater by calling ourselves worms and treading upon ourselves. The mother who calls her boy a little fool is mot nearly as likely to rear him up to be president of the United States as by telling him that there are the makings of a great man In him. And we see how maanificent is the stuff that goes to make man by observing what results that stuff works out into. Bvery large achievement is fitted to en- hance respect for the race and for our- selves as part of the race. It is & great thing to be able to say * Man is the only thing on earth, animate or inanimate, that can do that. That in jtself makes him higher than the moun- tains ang wider than the sea. On the strength of it we are able to stand up | in front of the world and commence ask- ing questions of it; and if, like a refrac- tory witness, the ground and the sea and the sky, with all there is in it, decline to answer, we simply say, like the judge on the bench, that we are here to find | out, and that it will be just as well for you and more convenlent for us If you{ Wil arop your remerve and come down | promptly with the facts. There is a good deal of human kingli- ness curled up in the assured way in which sclentific Investigation intrudes into nature's sanctuary, leans against its altar, lunches on its mercy seat, studies the Aesigns wrought into its holy hang- ings and calculates the welght of metal in its oonsecrated utensils. It s man’s way of saying—"this is a big world, but I am bigger. It is a mystically written book, but I can read it Dideovery engenders the talent for discovery, and so, like a child learning to walk, it wanders from its own door- way more and more widely. Distance that seemed at first a difficuity, is con- verted into a facility. Man girdles the earth with his thought, and the mathe- maticlan with his figures builds a more audaclous tower into the sky than ever the Shinarites undertook to do with their bricks, and the triumphant astronomers are blessed in succeeding in doing what the Babelites were cursed in their fallure to do. And so genlus packs its gripsack and goes voyaging and exploiting off through the spaces.

If to them are added clev- erne fvacity and beauty one has, of surse, visioned an almost irresistible creature Pt the point to remember is that while all women are potential mathers, men re- muin always in some essontials boya. Men need to be understood, but noenr triven with unwelcome advice; they want to be sympathized with, but not inter- fered with; they orave woman's friendly interest, but they don’t want her ever to oy that she is controlling or regu- Ak or making over thelr lives. There perhaps les man's greatest hoy tahness—he loves # think he is doing it all himself, but he wants you at his ide to admire him and encourage him the while he is doing it. Men want affection, but they don't want to bo surfeited with It. They hate to be taken for granted or nagged at because they fall to come up to expece tations. Some glirls have a cynical little theory that the way to keep a man's affection 18 to “keep him guessing’” about thelr own.

But it springs primarily tdbm a richness of nature that makes woman give out to life instead of merely drawing in from it Charm I8 a sort of a perfume that & sweet, fine, loving and lovable woman exhales. To some it is the free gift of the gods. By others it may be éultivated and cultivated most largely in the very way in which most women fall to strive for it. Here in its little open secret; mot by wondering “How I may be lovable? shall you become lovable, not by think- ing in terms of yourself shall you be- come desirable. But by looking on somo one for whom you care and thinking, “What does he want of life? What does his nature need of friendship and under- standing?”’ and then trying to fulfill the understood wants of another nature, shall you most easily cultivate charm, The girl who conquers her selfishness and hysterical desire to become morbid and unhappy over trifles, who teaches herself not to demand as o right the gifts of admiration and love which have to be won and deserved, is in a falr way to be attractive. And to her attractiv ness sho may add actual charm if she is sweet, amiable, equable, loyal, merrily willing to play the game of life, to take what comes to her and to offer to men understanding and sympathy instead of demanding it from them.
