But as recently as Sep- tember 14th, 1904, a rich young Aus rian, named Hermann Kicliczi, and hin wife, chartered a schooner, freight- ed it with two, years' provisions, and sailed from Pola for a small, uninhab- ited island in the Levant, which they refused to name. Kieliczi had been ex- pelled from Vienna clu on a charge of ting at cards, which he stoutly . Disgusted at human injugtice, he determined to abandon human civi- lization and live with his wife outside the reach of mankind. The crew of the cho , who returned to Austria, had all taken oaths not to divalge name or position of Herr Kielic- ri'e x In the eighties an Englishman nam- ed Candler lived along on a small is- Jet of the Ladrone group, in the Pa- cifio, for nearly a year and a half. Candler was an avowed misanthropist, and threatened to shoot anyone who invaded © his domain. For sixteen months he flourished with the fruits and herbs grown upon the islet, Then he suddenly went mad. The skipper of the American trading barque Louisa when six miles to the west of the is- land, observed him through a » pering 'and ® -nak- ho the exile on board and | him at Manila, When Candler recovered he insisted on returning to his islet. He left Sun Francisco in 1884, and was never more heard of. An island in the Sea of Aral, near the mouth of the Oxus, was the very strange place of refuge sought by M. Zingler, a Berlin fur trader of con siderable wealth, who, in his own words "suffered from civilization sick- ness' in 1805. Zingler rechristened his remote isle "Ewigkeit," or '"Eterni- ty" island, it being part of his doc- trine that only by sell. communion could a man attain to a perfection fitting him for immortal life. M. Tru- soff, who visited the island six months after Zingler's occupation thus des eribed his method of life : : "Imagine a blue sky and a flaming sun. Jmagine everywhere around a sea of the deepest blue, and set in this sea a yellow, sandy islet. That is Et- tideless sea rises a rough wooden hut, containing three rooms. At the door stands 4 man, still in the prime of life reading a big hook. That is Zingler. He looks perfectly happy, and showed me with pride his carefully arranged library and hig stock of food. When the latter runs short, an Oxus trad- ing boat will bring him more. Before I arrived he had not seem a human face for four months." A bet was the cause of the volun tary exile of Foma Lebedieff, an offic er of the czar's Preobrajensky Guards, who left St. Petersburg in 1900 for "Red Isdand," in Udskaya Bay, in the Sea of Okhotsk, where he undertook to remain a whole year, The difficulty of winning the wager lay in the frightful climate of the island, which is in the same latitude as Central Kam- chatka. . Lebedieff lived alone for six months, but in January, 1901, being unable to stand the cold and darkness, which Heals the Skin Better Than Any Other Pre- paration--Such ia Dr. Chase's Ointment.

Marshall Field, Chicago's merchant prince, interviewed on the principal qualities that make successful business men, said: "The prihcipal qualities that make successful business men are three : "(1) Absolute integrity, "12) Good judgment. (3) Perseverance, "A combination of these qualities means swocess, | believe in a high standard of education--the Higher the better, provided it does mot make a man feel he is above the irements of his business, no matter what the business may' be. "No matter how highly educated the man is he should he willing to begin at the lowest place, when need be, and when once launched fn business he should be completely absorbed in it. A'man in selecting a business should do so with the greatest care, and should select a career in which he can be thordughly interested. 3 "A man should never speculate, but I make a strong distinction between speculation and judicious mvestment. "Marriage often helps a mai in business, provided, of course, it is with the right woman.
