yourself.
Most of those who find their dall
work monotonous and Imagine the*
I could get nipcli gremer eiijoynient on
of other employment would not In
I likelv to make any greater headway 01
I tind greater plensure In doing anj
I >ther Job under the sun. unless the)
I first had a change In their own view-
point.
Usually It Is not what one may be
I doing, but the spirit in which it Is
done wldrh mnkes work pleasant or
undesirable. When people are con-
stantly thinking of self and p'adng
themselves above the Importance of
the duty at hand, the task will seem
distasteful and Inconsequential, re-
irardless of how much its successful
accomplishment means to the world,
The story Is told of a school teacher
who hnted her work and was ex-
tremely anxious to become a nurse,
-die complained that there was noth-
ing to her life but a mile long trip
between two ugly fences twice n day
and the Intervening hours spent in
'caching the same monotonous lessons
over and over again. So she thought
it would be so very lovely to don &
white enp and apron and devote the
•emalnder of her life to caring for
the sick.
Fortunately she stated her opinion
to s cleaf-lieaded and bfnftd-mlnded j
physician and asked him to aid her In
finding employment as a student in
s hospital. When this man heard
vhy she wished to give up teaching
as a profession, he kindly told her that
she was temperamentally unfitted to
be a nurse, for nursing meant et-
treme self-Sncriflce. If she thought
so much of herself that she couldn't
tind enjoyment in the work of making
irood and able Americans through
teaching, due to her constant thoughts
of self, he contended that she would
have even n smaller chance of getting
•njoyment out of the nursing pro-
fession, which demanded more devo-
tion to others' welfare.
The yotng woman was Intelligent
enough to know that what the physi-
cian told her was true, tlom after
hour she battled with herself to get
the right viewpoint, and finally she
won her battle over selfishness, Then
her work became enjoyable and she
did It so well that its Ihfinence for
good was reflected in her life and her
smiles.
N'o work will make one happy If h#
tldnks more of himself than his Job.

DO 8TARS TWIMKLSf
'"pHE "stars" are really suns which
are continually throwing off light,
precisely as our sun Is throwing It
off. The light passes through differ-
ent layers of air and vapor before lt
reaches our eyes. These layers, being
of different thickness or density make
the light of the star appear to flicker
or twinkle, Just as a motion picture
film which Is run too slowly flickers.
The light Is reduced In Intensity by
one layer of air und Increased by the
next, with the result that It appears
to shiver—a condition which we have
described by the word "twlifkle."
Dust in the air causes this twink-
ling to appear greater, to be nuignlited
or accentuated. Dust also gives rise
to rain, as each particle of it forms
the nucleus for a rain drop. This
then. Is the scientific foundation for
the old weather proverb that "When

in this country. It la a far cry from
ancient Rome to modem Sew Kng-
land, but the name has completed the
transition with very few changes te
mark the stages of Its evolution.
There are two theories nnmng ety-
mologists In regard to the original
source of Lucretia. Sohie contend that
It cotnes from the I.ntln word lucrum,
meaning "gain,1 and. for that renson,
I.ucretln Is said to signify gain. On
the other hand, there Is much evidence
to prove that Its real source Was In
the l.ntlti word for light, lux. Many
feminine nnmes have been derived
from this root and the same word has
supplied surnames without number,
It Is believed, therefore, that the
noted old gens Lucretius, from which
Lucretln is directly descended, was
only another of the derivatives of lu ,
