How. SUCCESS is ACHIEVED
When Professor Agassiz was asked to
become member Ut firm. with the
assurance that he could make "any
amount Of money!" he replied, ~ have
no time to make money" The princi-
pie of this doctrine is tho secret Of
success in life. If q man could multi
ply himself, issue himself in man copies
and each copy. apply itself to some
business, he would, if he were capa.
bic man, like Agassiz, succeed in all.
But each man can apply himself only
to his own business, and there he n.ust
use his energy if he would succeed.
This is the secret concentration upon
one business. Agassiz had no time to
make money, to make love, to be a
statesman, lawyer, mechanic, anything
but what he was, q scientist, whose
speciality was ichthy ology. All his
energy was devoted to this purpose,
and he succeeded. The concentration
was intense and long continued, md
not even the. great Cuvier was his
equal.

MINISTERIAL STARCH.-"T That
dreadful ministerial starch attracts
the attention of Sturgeon, who says
to his brother clergymen: "If you
have irdulged in it l would earnestly
advise You to Ego and wash in Jordan
several times" and get it out Of You,
every particle of it. / am persuaded
that one reason why DIR working men
SO universally keep clear of ministers
is because they abhor their artificial
and unmanly ways. If they saw us,
in the pulpit and out Of it, acting like
real men, and speaking naturally, like
honest men, they would come around
us. Bakers remark still holds good /:
The want of q familiar tone and cx-
preston is great fault in most Of
our deliverers, and that which we
should he very careful to amend The
vice Of the ministry is that ministers
will parsonifcdte the Gospel. We
must have humanity along with our
divinity if we would win the masses.
Everybody can see through affecta-

should imagine that the recipient must
be left in grave doubt as to whether
the son is a rabbit or the feathered

citation of ideas connecting a son with
"keir," may incline him to favor the
former idea. AS to the coat Of arms

The CARS MAGIC TABLE SERVICE.
"A novel dining table is now in use
in one Of, the palaces Of the Emperor
of Russia. The table is circular, and
is placed on a weighted platform. At
the touch Of a signal like rub Of
Aladdin's lamp, down goes the table
through the floor and new table,
loaded with fresh dishes and" supplies,
rises in it's place. But this is not all !;
each plate stands on weighted disk,
the table cloth being cut with circular
openings, one for each plate. If a guest
desires a change of plate he touches a
signal at his side, when, presto, his
plate disappears and another rises.
These mechanical tables render the
presence Of servants quito superduous.

A SINGULAR TRADITION.

Among the Seminole Indians there
is a singular tradition regarding the
white mans origin and superiority.
They say that when the Great Spirit
made the earth. he also made three
men, all of whom were fair complex
iOned; and that after making them,
nc led them to the margin Of q small
lake and babe them leap in and wash.
One 0beycd and came out Of the water
purer than before; the second hest
tated a moment, during which time
the water muddled, and when he bathed
lie came up copper-colored; the third
did not leap till the water became
black with mud, then the Great Spirit
laid before them three packages, and
ont Of pity for his misfortune in color,
gave the black man the first choice.
He took hold of each of the packages,
and having felt the weight, chose the
heaviest; the copper cOlored man then
chose the next heaviest, leaving the
white man the lightest. When the
packages were opened, the first was
found to contain spades, hoes, and all
The implements for labor; the second
enrapped hunting, fishing, and war
like apparatus; the third gave the
white man pens, ink and paper, the
engines of the mind-the means Of
mutual, mental improvement, the social
link of humanity, the foundation of
the white mans superiority.
