The Impulse to Success.
Emerson was a great thinker and a wise philosopher. When therefore he lays it down that "if a man of ability should give you his honest experience, you would find that he owed more impulse to hooks than to living minds,” we may agree with him unhesitatingly.

A SHOE WITH TOE POCKETS,
A novel German shoe has partitions to separ. ate toes. These terminate in soft pads pressing against the foot, so that the thrust in walking is taken at the base of the toes înstead of the point Jamming of the toes into the too of the shoe is prevented. It is expected that the deforming of the fest now so common will be avoided by
this arrangement, and that walking will be more comfortable.

CENTRAL STATION PLOUGHING.
"
Electric ploughing outfits, each capable of ploughing from 10 to 25 acres daily with the small plough and 25 to 35 acres with the larger one, are a German novelty. A single motor, of 38 to 72 horse-power, is used, and a complete equipment includes a motor truck, driving ropo `anchor vehicle, automatically moving rope sup. ports, plough, electric cable and cable car. The 1,000 to 3,000 feet of specially armoured rubber- covered cable supplying the current is carried on an outrigger of the truck or in the greater lengths on the cable car. The electric motor on the frank in be coupled either to the rear wheels of the vehicle or to the drum driving the rope and a special devico automatically stops the motor if the tension on the rope becomes axcessive. A palley, on the anchor vehicle is relieved of the load of the cops when the plaugh moves back to the motor truck. This alackening of the rope sanses the pulley's rota tion to act upon the anobor vehicle, and to move it automatically forward to the next furrow space. Electric plouching is one of the steps in the transformation of Gerinan farming 1 by the contral power station.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF WALKING.
Walking is not merely moving two legs rhythmically over certain intervals of ground. It is the primal and the only way to know the world, the doliberals entering into an in- heritance, whose parts are wind and weather, sky and prospect, men and animals, and all vital enjoyment. The bicyclo has some advantages in point of speed, and gives s deceptive senso of power; but it is a foe to observation. All carriages, whether propel led by horse or moter, insulate the travoller- from the ground, steal his attention from the world through which he passes, and utterly destroy all feeling of achievement. The very word, "mile" is a walker's world-mille pass us
a thousand double-paces. So the Roman legions measured their conquering advances; so the legion of pedestrians estimates its con- quests of the day. So many thousand buffets bare mine own two foot given the resisting soil twixt son and sun; so many thousand times have the good muscles of calf and thigh lent thuir elastic force." What has the dusty reader of figures on a dial to match with that?
PORTUGAL'S FIRST
PRESIDENT!
On the 10th of October, 1910. King Manuel took flight from his Capital; his palace was stormed and taken; the Republican dag was down mast high throughout Lisbon, and Senhor Braga took office as the first president of the new Republic of Portugal: Senhor Braga is not soldier, not a fire-eating revolutionary, bat a quiet author and journalist--perhaps the dificult a peition in days of storm and stress. last wish you would have thought likely to fill so More marvellous still, is the fact that Senhor Braga is sixty years of age, and yet he was ready to undertake a place whicli seemed to call for a man in the prime of life, a man of nerve, of energy and resource. How many men, of that age, are at for even their ordinary daily work f And how many women ?

Bacteria that survive in sunlight are killed by the ultra-violet rays from mercury vapour lamps with quartz tubes.

Mr. A. J. Burger, c/o Willow Road and Prosi lont Street, Germiston, Transvaal, says :---- In my family, we have used Mother Beigel's Byrup for various ailments during the last nine years, and it has mover failed!: My wife was a great sufferer from indigestion and could not get relief, despite the usual home remedies which we tried. She complained of a heavy feeling at the chest, pains in the stomach and sides, after meals, and shortness of breath. Her appetite was poor, and being unable to derive nourish ment from her food, she became, quito feeble, Mother Seigel's Syrup being resorted to, put. her right in a very short time, since when her health has been splendid.
"We always use Mother Saigel's Syrup for the children's minor ailments, and have found it invaluable during the teething period, keeping their bowels regular, and relieving wind. In- deed, the timely was of Mother Saigel's Syrup is till the means of keeping them in splendid health.
