Tenacity or Porrose.—The life of Louis Favra, the well-known Swiss enginccr, and the constractor of the St. Gothard tunnel, furnishes ansxample of tenacity of purpose worthy of imitation. When he began the building of tho tuanel, which he was not permitted to see comloted, he waa attacked in the wildeat manner ty ongineers and mechanics, who aceused him of being a dreamer and a man devoted to idle theories. Ho was a genius, howover, and forced his way from a poor Jad to a world-wide repute asa practical theoriat. He died worth millions, which is not so much to the point of the moral involved in his life as his steady perseveranco agaiust obstacles to the carrying out of wellgrounded theories, Lapor. —Tho world owes most of its growth to men who tried todo as mnch work as they could, The debt is small to those men who worked as little as possible, and there will not be many credits to those who shirk. To most men more than eight bours work is necessary for the maintenance of physical, mental and moral health.
