How TO BREAK OFF BAD HABITs.-U
stand the reason, and all the reasons, why the
habit is injurious Study the subject till there
is no lingering doubt in your mind. Avoid
the places, the persons, and the thoughts that
lead to the temptation. Frequent the
places, associate with the persons, indulge the
thoughts that lead away from temptation.
Keep busy; idleness is the strength of bad
habits. Do not give up the struggle when you
have broken your resolution once, twice-e
thousand times. That only shows how much
need there is for you to strive. When you
have broken your resolution, just think the
matter over, and endeavor to understand why
it is you failed, so that you may be on your
guerd against recurrence OF the same circum-
stances Do not think it an easy thing that
you have undertaken. 1t is folly to expect to
break off habit in n day which may have
been gathering strength in you forever

HEREsY IN THE TEA PoT-The following
notes on the subject OF tea making were sent
us by lady who has kept house for forty-6ve
years and has zeaou>ly studied and practced
the art of making good tea and coffee Her
opinions may be considered heretical, but we
consider it certain that She knows how to make
good tea:
Il oppose the so often vaunted rules, which
direct US TO put our tea-leaves in the pot, and,
after pouring boiling water over them, 10 pour
the tea Immediately into the cups. This
practice may still do in China, or Russia, where
| they use none but the finest qualities of teas,
and it might possibly have answered in this
country before the art of adulteration was
understood so well. The idea which is so often
advanced-that it spos breakfast-tea 90 let it
boil or steep any length of time after the
boiling water is poured on it, is most errone.
Gus one. don't approve of stewing tea, but
do not consider breakfast-tea (no matter how
fine its quality that has not had or 8 minutes

LETTER WRITING.-Of all things on earth to

write as you would say it,-but it goes to your
friend without the grace of voice, the infect.
ton, the gesture, that laugh the would make
a joke Of it. There are just the hard, cold
words,-he can only see what is said, and he is
deeply grieved, or angered lost to you, per
haps, forever. The thing you write in one
mood finds your friend in another-msy be in

whole family cast down by some piece OF
written pleasantly on the part of an absent
member of it. And if there is this danger
when you know the writer ways and phrases
so well, how much greater the peril in the case
of mere acquaintances. Think correspondence
should be conducted mainly by means OF
printed forms. Theodosia suggests that nc
one should write without these forms who haC
not been examined by committee of exrert
and pronounced competent. Then another
committee should pronounce upon the com
potency of persons to whom written letters ar,
addressed. -Scribner's for April

The Price of Success.

1t is no longer possible to know everything.
A universal scholar will be no more seen
among men. The range of human knowledge
has increased so vastly, has swept out and
away so far and so FAST that no brain, be its
quantity or quality what it may, can, in the
years commonly given to man, even survey the
field. A man, therefore, must make up his
mind, ii he propose to learn anything, to De
content with profound ignorance Of great
many other things. 1t is bitter thing, per-
haps, but it is a fact, that a man who would
know anything i'll this century must purchase
his knowledge with voluntary and chosen
ignorance of hundred other things. One must
choose his speciality, and devotion and dill
gence in that is the price he pays for success
1t is with doing as it is with knowing. There
is only a certain amount of work in any case.
! He cannot do everything. Nevertheless, every
thing needs doing. A about him is undone
work clamoring for hands. There are two
courses before one. To undertake every
thing, to fret and grieve because one finds this
and that undone, and to make spasmOdiC
efforts to do it-this is the way OF failure.
ResOlutely to make up one S mind to let, as fal
as he is concerned, the most that should be
done stay undone still, to steel ones hear
against demands and necessities, to resist al
inducements to put forth a single effort 4
close ones eyes to it all, and stick heart, hand
life, and love to the thing a man undertake
and calls his own-that is the way of success
Life is very short, and the single brain an,
hand, at best, very weak, and there are thou
sands of things to know aud to do. One mus
choose, and be content with his choice. An
SO it comes to pass that now, at last, th
measure of a man $ learning will be the amour
of his voluntary ignorance, the measure of hi
practical effectiveness the amount what he
content to leave uninterrupted. Exchange.

What "crsdit mobll.r" Means
Rrom the CHICAGO TrIblue.

20
A correspondent asks the meaning
of the words "Credi. Mobilier." tSev-
eral Congressman have asked the same
ouestion5 We presume he wishes to
be Informed concerning the original
derivation and use Of the term. We
will endeavor to explain 1t. The
"Credit Foncier" has long been the
general title In France for associations
that advance money on landed or i'm
moua5le securities. The Credit Mo.
billsr" was the name given to a pow
erful corporation, organized In France
In 1861, for advancing money on more-
able property. Tho name was adopted
evidently with the purpose Of afford
ing a ready definition Of the object Of
the association. The "Societie Cen
erals de Credit Mobiller" became a
great and profitable enterprise. 1t as
sisted materially In the construction Of
railways aud the promotion Of mining
schemes. Among other enterprises In
which 1t was notably interested were
the Government loan OH account of
the Russian war. the Grand Central
Railway Company, and the General
Omnibus Company OF Paris. At u
time, It advanced $50 900. 1000 francs,
and at another time 375, 1000, O0O francs,
to the French Government. Its busi-
ness was so great IN 1855 that 1t de-
clared a dividend OF 40 per cent. OIL Its
capital. While 1t was manifestly the
means of doing much good IN France,
1t eventually failed.
The introduction otthe terms "Credlt
Foncier" and Credit Mobilter" into
America are due to Mr.. George Fran
els Train. He established a "Credit
Foncier" with Omaha lands, which he
hawked about the country some years
ago. He gave the name Of Credit
Mobilier of America TO q corporation
with universal privileges. which was
organized In Pennsylvania. 1t was
appropriated by Messrs. Oakes Ames,
Durant & Co., to serve as the party OF
the third part In the famous ''triplicate
agreement" by which the managers
OF the Union Pacific Railroad let ont
the contract for building the road to
themselves, In payment for which they
modestly took the road itself, all the
United States bonds. all the first mort
gage bonds. all the United States
lands, ETC., at q profit Of over 1000 per
cent. on an entirely fictitious capital.
This Is what Credit Mobilier' means,
In the modern American and Congress
slonal use of the word. The title Is
not inappropriate. The transaction
literally n Credit on Moveables-
the United States Government furnish.
ing the credit and the money, and
Messrs. Cakes Ames & Co. taking the
lnoyeables-that Is, the securities and
the profits.
