In order to find the points of the compass we must first find a level surface and then by the arrangement of angles we must find the zenith of the sky. A single point however does not help us, and another must be obtained. Looking to the north we can find stars...

Without dispute, there has ever seemed a connection, more or less vital' between an increase in luxury and a decline in manly strength. What is the reason? If men take the beauty and comfort that are about them an use them to develope themselves, to increase their taste and their refinement, certainly this will not mean a poorer grade of men. However men fail to recognize that they have any responsibility as to the luxury that is theirs, if they...
