Stick to Your BusIn ess.

There is nothing which would be
more frequently impressed upon
the minds of the young men than
the Importance of steadily pursuing
some one business. The frequent
changing from one employment to
another is one of the common err
rors committed, and to it may be
traced more than half the failures
of men in business, and much of the
discomfort and disappointment
which render life uncomfortable
1t is very common thing for a man
to be dissatisfied with his business,
and to desire to change 1t for some
other, which, it seems to him, will
prove a more lucrative employment; /;
but, in nine cases out of ten, it is n
mistake. Look round you, and you
will find among your acquaintances
abundant verifications of our asser-
ton. There is an honest farmer
who has toiled few years, got his
farm paid for, but does not grow
rich very rapidly, as much for lack
of contentment mingled with indus
try as anything, though he is not
aware of it. He hears the wonder
ful stories of California, and how
fortunes may be had for the troub
lie of picking them up; mortgages
his farm TO raise money, goes away
to the land of gold, and, after
many months OF hard toll, comes
home to commence again at the bot
tom of the hill for a more weary
and less successful climbing up
again. Mark the men in every
community who are notorious for
never getting ahead. You will find
them to be those vino never stick TO
any one business long, but always
lorsaking their occupation just
when it begins to be profitable.

Don't worry About Yourself.

To regain or recover health, per-
sons should be relieved from ankle
ty concerning diseases. The mind
has power over the body. For
a man to think he has q disease
will often produce that disease.
This we see effected when the mind
is intensely concentrated upon the
disease of another. 1t is found in
the hospitals that physicians and
surgeons who make speciality of a
certain disease are liable to die Of
it themselves; and the mental pow.
er is so great that sometimes peo-
pie die of diseases which they only
have in imagination. We have seen
persons sea-sick in anticipation of a
voyage before reaching the vessel.
We have known a person to die OF
a cancer in the stomach when he
had no cancer, nor any other dis
ease. A man blindfolded and
slightly pricked IN the arm, has
tainted and died from believing he
was bleeding to death. Therefore
persons in health and desiring to
continue so, should be at all times
cheerful and happy, and those who
are sick should have their attention
drawn as much as possible from
themselves. 1t is by their faith men
are saved, and also by their faith
that they die. If man wills not
to eat he can live in spite of disease; I;
and if he has little or no attach.
ment to life, he will slip away as a
child falls asleep. Men live by their
souls and not by their bodies. Their
bodies have no life of themselves;
they are only resources of life-ten.
ements of their souls. The will has
much to do in continuing the phys
ical occupancy of giving it up

Davy Crockett.


History has it thus; David
Crockett, an American backwoods.
man and Member of Congress, born
at Limestone, Nolechucky river, in
(East) Tennessee, August II, 17s6,
died in Texas, March 9, 1886"
'David Crockett lived with his IA
ther on the public road leading
from Abingdon, Va, TO Knoxville,
Tenn, from his seventh to his
twelfth year. Having been sent to
school, he quarreled with the school
master. The fourth day he ran
away to avoid logging threatened
both by his father and teacher.
After five years rowing with drovers
and carriers, he returned in his
eighteenth year to his father, went
TO school two months, learning his
letters for the first time, soon after
married and went to the widest
portion of the State. In 1913 no
served in the Creek war under Gen.
Jackson. After peace, he settled on
Shoal Creek, in n desolate region OF
Tennessee. This was on Duck river
(the county is not remembered).
He was elected one Of the Magis-
,rates, soon after elected TO the.
State Legislature, to which he was
twice re elected.
Soon after the acquisition OF
West Tennessee, he moved TO Oblon
county and settled on Obion river.
The county is represented as hav-
ing been covered with very dense
cane brakes, aGording abundant
shelter TO wild game, particularly
bear, and it was in these canebrakes
la Madrid Bend and vicinity Of
Reelloot Lake, where David Crockett
acquired his great fame as n bear
hunter and bRckwoodaman. In 1927
he was elected to Congress, having
for his opponent Judge Adam
Huntsman. of Jackson-thc entire
district of West Tennessee was then
embraced in one Congressional dis
trict. He was re elected in 1929
and in 1881 but defeated In 1888.
After his defeat he went TO Texas,
then in revolt against the authority
of President Santa Anna, joined the
party in revolt, and met his death
while defending Fort Alamo, in San
Antonio dc Bexar After hard
seige the survivors, six in number,
including Crockett, surrendered,
but by order Of Santa Anna they
were assassinated March @, 1880,
his family still living in Obion
county. Tenn, he not having moved
them from his old settlement"
The Shoal creek referred TO above
is in Lawrence county, and about rs
miles west Of Pulaski. Some of tho
old county archives with the official
signature of David Crockett, j. T.,
are still in existence.

Tough Glass.

A year or two ago IL was an
nounced that a Frenchman had dis
covered n method of making glass
so tough that it could be thrown
about with impunity. The state
ment had some foundation but II
was stronger than the facts war
ranted. This glass will break but
it has only one-eighth Of the liabiI-
ity to fracture that common glass
possesses. This is certainly n great
point gained, and it is by no means
impossible that future experiments
may result in the discovery OF some
method OF manufacturing glass with
the strength OF iron. We are glad
10 learn that this new French glass
is being manufactured in Brooklyn,
n. Y, under the superntendonce OF
Mr.. LaCapella, a fellow countryman
Of the inventor, LaBastie. lie uses
certain kind Of sand fouLd In
Maryland which is said 20 be tho
purest sand In the world, so far as
known, as IL is pure silax, without
the least trace OF any metallic adj
mixture. So far rs appears this
glass is made in the ordinary way,
and after being blown into any form
desired, il Is heated red hot in a
furnace and. then plunged into
paraiine bath. Formerly they used
a mixture OF para1ne and linseed
oil, but now IL has been discovered
that parafine alone, or even tallow,
answers all the necessary purposes.
When the glass comes from the bath
it is covered with a dark coating Of
hardened oil which is washed of as
soon as II cools, and then II is
ready for use, and not only for use
but II will stand considerable abuse.
Among other purposes II will he
excellent for the glass roofs of hot
houses, as it will resist large hail
stones and other missels which
readily break common glass. 1t "a
really n very important discovery
and will be OF great value in tho
manufacture of glass lamps, shades,
lanterns, in short, almost every mr.
ticle for which the common glass is
now employed.

Blue Glass Theory.
BY T. S.

A very interesting and exciting
topic now is the new theory in ref
erence TO the wonderful effects OF
light transmitted through blue glass.
The vitalizing and life-growing
qualities of light thus transmitted,
and its effects in quickening life
and intensifying vitality are said to
be truly astonishing. Plants, fruits,
zines, vegetables and flowers under
it's influence are rapidly and won
derfullv brought to maturity. Puny,
decrepit, deaf and rheumatic ami
mails are restored to health ana
vigor. Singing birds which have
ceased to sing have had their mu-
sical tones restored and wonderfully
increased In beauty, richness and
power. Persons, as by magic, have
recovered from the tumOrs of rheu
matism, neuralgia, paralysis, spinal
and cerebral diseases.
When schooi boys we learned
the following theory of compensa-
ton in nature: animals consume
the oxygen of the atmosphere and
give off carbonic acid; while plants
take up the carbonic acid and re-
store to animals the oxygen" The
new theory, if we understand it, is
this: "The blue light eXcites mag
netism and electricity by which car
bonic acid gas, eyaporated from
growing plants is decomposed and
oxygen thereof liberated to be alb
sorbed again in maturing the flow
ers, fruit and seed o; the plant, thus
stimulating the active energies of
the plant into its fullest develop
ment." Do these two theories har-
monize, or does the one explode the
other?
The theory as applied to animals
is something like the following:
"This current of electro magnetism
when allowed to fall upon the spinal
column of an animal is conducted
by the nerves to the brain, and
thence distributed over the whole
nervous system, imparting vigor to
all the organs of the body and stim-
ulating them into active exercise"
We will not venture TO give our
opinion in reference to the new
theory, hut will patiently await it's
further development.

Begin the Day with Prayer.


New York Evangelist Every day
should be commenced with God.
The busiest and best men in Jerusa-
lem were wont to say, "In the morn
ing will l direct my prayer unto
Thee, and will look up" IL will
sing aloud to Thy mercy in the
morning" Daniel, too, saluted his
God with prayer and praise at early
dawn. We begin the day unwise-
ly and at great risk 70 ourselves il
we leave our chamber without a Sc
cret conference with our almighty
Friend. Every christian, when be
puts on his clothes, should also put
on his spiritual armor. Before the
day'S march begins he should gath
er up portion Of heavenly mama

entail traveller sets out for the sultry
journey over the burning sands by
leading up his camel under the
palm trees shade, and fills his wa
Ter fagons from the crystal foun-
tain which sparkles at its roots, so
doth Christ's pilgrim draw his
morning supplies from the exhaust
less spring, Morning is the golden
hour for prayer and praise. The
mind is fresh. The mercies Of the
night and the new resurrection Of
the dawn both prompt a devout soul
10 thankfulness. The bouyant
heart takes its earliest flight, like
the lark, toward the gates Of heav-
en-. One of the finest touches in
Bunyan's immortal allegory in his
description of Christian in the
chamber OF peace, who, "awoke
and sang" while his window looked
out toward the sun rising. If even
the stony statue Of the old heather
Memnon made music when the first
rays of the dawn kindled on its hin
ty brow, surely no christian heart
should be dumb when God causes
the outgoings of the morning TO re

Duties of Daily Life.

Life is not entirely made up of
great evils or heavy trials; but the
perpetual recurrence of petty evils
and small trials IS the ordinary and
appointed exercise of the Christian
graces. To bear with the failings
of those about us-with their in
firmities, their bad judgment, their
i'll breeding, their perverse tempers
Ito endure neglect when we feel we
deserve attention, and ingratitude
where we expected thanks-to bear
with the company of disagreeable
people whom Providence has placed
in our way, and whom he has pro-
vided or proposed for the trial of
our yirtue-these are the best exer-
cises of patience and self denial, and
the better because not chosen by
ourselves. To bear with vexation
in business, with disappointment in
our expectations, with Interruptions
of our retirement, with folly intru-
sion, disturbance-in short, with
whatever opposes our will or con-
tradicts our humor-this habitual
acquiescencs appears to be more of
the essence of self denial than any
little rigorous Affections of our own
imposing. These constant, inevita.
BILE, but inferior evils properly i'm
proved, furnish a good moral dis
cipline. and might, in days of igno
rance, have superseded pilgrimage
and penance.

Let Them Alone

Never try to rob any one of his
good opinion of himself. 1t is the
most cruel thing You can do.
Moreover, it is by no means doing
what you would be done by. Crush
woman's self esteem, and you
make her grained and snap
pish. Do the same TO man, and
you only make him morose. You
may mean to create sweet, humble
creature, but you'll never do it.
The people who think best of them
selves are apt to be best. Women
grow pretty IN believing they are
so, and fine qualities often crop out
after one has been told he has them.
1t only gratifes a momentary spite
to force your own unfavorable opin-
ion OF him deep into another's
mind, 1t never, never, never did
any good. All! if this world, full
of ugly people and awkward people,
of silly people and vain people,
knew their own deficiencies, what a
sitting in sacllcloth and ashes we
should have! The greatest of all
things that man can possess is a
satisfactory identity. If that which
he calls "r' pleases him, it is well
with him; otherwise he is utterly
wretched. Let our fellow beings
alone; hold no truthful mirrors be-
fore your eyes, unless with 3 pure
intention TO uproot sin. so may a
mirror without a flaw never be pre-
pared for you. In those things
which we cannot help, may we ever
he blind to our own shortcomings.
We are neither ugly, nor awkward,
nor uninteresting to ourselves, if we
do not know it A fool may have
the wisdom of Solomon in his own
conceit. Let him be, and the path
To the grave will be easier for him
to tread; you will be no worse, he
no better. Leave every man as
much self-esteem as his conscience
will allow him to cherish. 1t may be
a pleasure to enlighten people as TO
their faults Of mind and person, but
1t ia certainly not duty.

Be ready to throw in an odd halt
hour or an hours time when it will
be an accommodation, and do not
seem to make a merit of it. Do it
heartily. Though no. a word be
said, your employer will make a
note of it. Make yourself indis
pensable to him, and he will lose
many of the opposite kind before
he will part with you. Those young
men who watch the clock to see the
very second their working hour is
up-who leave no matter what state
the work be in, at precisely the in
stant--who calculate the exact
amount they can slight their work,
and yet not get reproved-who are
lavish OF their employers goods
will always be the first to receive
notice, when times are dull, that
their services are no longer required.

ABOUT the best thing that could
be done for this country at present
would be to abolish the ruinous
credit system Too much business
is done on promises, many of which
are never complied with. Men who
buy on credit pay from 10 to 20
