by long and practical experience, as as useless as
a means of success as would be a treatise on
mathematics, or Bowditch's Navigator.
The ill-suceess which has attended some Of the
agricultural speculauons on these islands, from
the " great expectations" of silk culture in
1914, down 10 not 4 few Of the undertakings Of
later years, may undoubtedly be attributed to
the fact that their projectors were possessed Of
but little or no experience in the business to
which they applied their energies and their capt.
tai. They were ~sanguine Of success, and there
fore lavish Of their means; they lacked practical
knowledge of the business, and therefore they
failed. Nor Is the history Of our agricultural
operations by any means peculiar to ourselves
alone. The same thing has occurred in every
country where the staple product, instead of be
ing exported in the raw state, is manufactured
on the spot. And the reverses and experiences
Of the past have now, It Is believed, schooled and
educated our agriculturists TO the point when
blunders and failures are no longer to be ex-
pected, and success though slow is sure.

That piquant writer Of short essays, Fanny
Fern, speaking of : Literary Aspirants,' rather
forcibly says: at is the most astonishing thing
that persons who have not sufficient education to
spell corr Getty, to punctuate properly, to place
capital letters in the right places, should, when
other means of support fail, send MSS. for pub
lication.'' Looking beyond the realm of litera-
ture, are rot those words capable of a very wide
application? How many men falter and stumble
and fail it the battle of life, simply because they
have undertaken to follow q pursuit for which
they have neither the knowledge nor the expe-
rience requisite to success. They have mistaken
their vocation. We sometimes hear the remark,
that an excellent mechanic was spoiled when
such an one was bred to u profession, and rice
versa. But there Is perhaps no pursuit to which
this train of thought into which we have fallen
will SO pertinently apply as that of the agricul-
turist. The general idea seems to prevail that
almost anybody can be a successful farmer, given
the land and Il small capital to begin with, and
never was there a greater mistake, as the sad ex-
perience of thousands will testify. Tho success
fI merchant, or the weather-beaten sea-ca plain,
after spending half their lives in other avoca-

The Trans-Vaal Republic in South Africa
seems destined to become the richest mineral
country in the world. 1t contains within its
limits the greatest part Of the diamond region,
and the placer and gold quartz mines recently
discovered. These are so rich that several
miners for diamonds have abandoned their claims
and gone in search Of gold. The extent too of
all these mines is said to be immense. The
diamond region alone, as far as discovered,
covers an area Of 200, 000 square miles. Most Of
it is open 10 adventures and does not form a part
Of that country lately annexed to Great Britain,
which is now stated to be but a small fraction.
Such being the case, if the discoveries in dia-
monds and gold should prove to be as reported,
we may expect to hear Of another general excite
ment and a large emigration from all parts Of the
world to the Trans-Vaal Republic. This may
have the effect of opening South Africa to ciyili-
zation-a result which gold alone can achieve.

ABAMBOQzLED BRIGAND.
A Greoian Woman's stratsgem-A Spark
from the Old Hellenic Fire.

A story comes from Athers about Greek
brigandige, very refreshing to honest peo-
pie, and suggestive of the question whether
women might not govern Greece better
than its men. One OF the cures Of modern
Hellas, as everybody knows, is the unex-
tirpated guild of brigands, who infest the
laud, deiylng The gvvermont, suppressing
commerce, demOralizing the peasaniry,
and robbing and numbering strangers and
rich natives. One Of these unhanged VII
lalns lately captured The youthful son Of
a widow woman OF property, well known
upon the border. The usual message was
sent down from the bill The bngand
chief must have one thousand drachmas
by certain day, or the life of the hoy-he
was only twelve years Old-would pay the
forfeit.
As usual, too, the last hope which
mother cOud cherish in such fightlul
position was the chance of government
help. The wrctche1ly weak aimirls'ra-
tiJns which play nl "inaui ont' in Aihons
siill allow these scoundrcls to hold the
reads and passes of the country, and this
poor woman had TO trust To her own cour-
are and wits. Neither was wanting there
was some true old Odysscan blood in her,
and she hit upon plan for saving both
her child and her drachmas. Sic had a
brother, young fellow Of / riect pluck,
| though his checks were as smooth as the
] Deinn Ap1'o's, and him sic dressed up
( carefully as Greek girl. Having a.
pointed to NEE. the iObhor chief in GER
