THE BEST CAPITAL Integrity of
character and truth in the inner man are
the prerequisites of success in any call
ing, and especially so in that of the mer-
chant. These are attributes which never
fail to command respect and win admi-
ration. No one fails to appreciate them,
and if "they do not pay A" in the vulgar
sense of the phrase, they bring an amount
of satisfaction and peace TO the owner
that all the wealth of Croesus could not
yield. There is no better stock in trade
than these principles no capital goes
so far or pays so well, or is so exempt
from bankruptcy and loss. When known
| they give credit and confidence, and in
the hardest of times will honor your pa
per in banks. They give you capital to
do business upon, and the general faith
OF mankind will be your guaranty that
you will not fail. Let every young man.
upon commencing business look we'll to
these indispensable elements of success
and defend them as he would the apple of
his eye. If inattentive and reckless here
he will imperil everything. Bankruptcy
in character is seldom repaired in an or
binary lifetime. A man may suffer in
reputation and recover-not so the man
who suffers in character. Be lust and
truthful. Let these be the ruling and pre-
dominating principles of your life and
the reward will be certain, either in the
happiness they bring to your own bosom,
or success which will attend upon all your
business operations in life, or both.

DEACoNs RACING HoRsEs.-A church
In Wisconsin, finding its finances in that
deplorable condition bordering on insol.
vency, and seeing the vanity of such
earthly expectations as are built on the
deiusive hope of realizing from collec-
tons, decided to adopt the "hoss race

most feasible plan for gathering lucre

tered the people turne deut in masse, and
the gate money was enough to make q no

Lord. In short the scheme was enough
pronounced success ffnancilly, but it dis
rupted the church. Deacon Hines got
angry because his horse was beaten by
Deacon Halls mare. The pastOr, who
acted as one of the Judges, took sides
with Deacon Hall and the mare. The
quarrel spread until the pastor wan
dered forth seeking new vineyard, and
the voice of prayer and praise was hush.

FARMING ON A GRAND SCALE.-John
Finnell, one of Napa's princely farmers,
has recently purchased 10000 acres of
land in Tehama county, at a cost of $780,
600. The property is known as the
Thomas estate, and has on it a $25, 900
residence and about 100000 worth of
fencing. With the land and improve
ments Mr.. Finnell gets 2,2OO head of
cattle, 1910 hogs, and lot of horses,
mules, etc. This entities Mr.. Finnell to
a place in the front rank of the great
farmers of California. His home place
in this valley, comprising 1000 acres,
and besides keeping 500 of it in a high
state of cultivation, he has for the past
four years been paying $35, 900 per year
rent for a large tract of farming land in
Colusa county, from which he has derived
handsom income. We understand it to
be the intention ofMr. Finnell to remove
with his family to his new place in Te-
hama county next spring. The new prop
erty has never peen put under the plough
and 1t is thought will prove very pro
ductive. Vapa (Cal) Register

SHOE MAKING BY MACHINERY.-This
branch of business contains some aston
ishing figures. By the census of 1870,
the annual product of the business was
$1S1, 644 900. On the simple article of
shoe pegs and peggers there are 576 pat
ents, and there are 1000 patents on shoe
machinery. One class of machines last
year sewed IS, OOO, 900 pairs of shoes, and
another class pegged 1000, 600 in the
same time. Ten men, with the present.
machinery, can make 600 pairs of shoes
day. One cents worth of pegs will
peg four pairs of shoes. One shoe man.
ufactnrer in Massachusetts makes 200
different varieties. In 1875 $4,000, 600
worth of leather was exported, and the
same amount in 1877. Two millions of
shoe-lasts, all turned by machinery, were
made last year. The United States have
just begun to export boots and shoes (;
large consignments have been sent TO
South America during the past year, and
agents are now in Japan seeking orders.
