Executive Ability.

Very few men are blessed with the
talent Of doing moro than one thing
well. In the economy Of nature our
gifts, as n rule, are few, Ono may be
able to plan but cannot execute, while
his neighbours executive ability Is his
strong point The man is gooI at the
wheel but lacks financial ability an
other can design china and earthcn-
ware of superior style, but falls short
Of success as a business manager. Sim
liar experiences are met with in every
trade. Men may succeed in the rou-
tine Of designing, and in other depart
lncnts Of potting, but when their sue
cess in any of these encourage them to
essay manufacturing, they are all at
sea, simply because the latter position
calls for the exercise Of entirely differ
cnt qualifications. Now and n9ainwe
find notable exceptions TO this rule
We meet occasionally with men who
possess combination Of different
and varied cxcellencies, superior
wherever they are placed but, on the
whole, such instances are rarc--so rare
in fact that the exception only proves
the rule. Such men are successful
They must be for they possess every
requisite in the whole range Of me-
chanical and executive ability. Ota-
or men. who know nothing, practical
w, about the details Of construction
and qualities OF material, sometimes
succeed, but they have an executive
power well developed, and supported
by clear Judgment trained by expe-
riencc. they master all difficulties
Cine class of men may not know how
to draw the simplest pattern, but, on
the other hand, they may possess good
taste, which will enable them to de-
eide whether pattern is good or bad,
and their discernment foretells its re-
ception with the trade. Give them
basis and a plan and they will COM
plete the structure. On the other
hand. those who have the practical
routine thoroughly by heart, but lack
the executive power, generally fail in
their attempt 10 do business. What
we wish to impress is the importance
of executive talent. 1t is the all-pow-
erful lever. 1t is not always gift
In nearly every man there is a germ,
which, with proper cultivation will
develop this trait to certain degree.

TIE Word "t,cnt."

1t is n significant fact that the pre-.
else definition Of the word gent" is
only to be found in the Slang Dlciion-
airy. Gent is said by this authority
to be ~ contraction Of gentleman in
more senses than 0ne--a dre'sy, snowy,
foppish man, with u little mnd, who
yulgalzcs the prevailing fashion" As
the gent is thus product and rep
resentatiye of certain social conditions,
there is n certain fitness IN the word
which charactcrizes him. The Count
dorsey once wittily said that gent
was shor; for Gentle. This assertion
had truth as well as wit, for Gentle,
from the Latin gems, has the same or
igin as a gentleman. The word gent"
formerly did duty as an adjective, old
English writers using it TO express
the softer qualities Of the female sex.
A "lady gent" instead of being a
lady's man or coxcomb, wasan elegant
or gentle lady, proving that an elc-
mcnt Of softness is associated with the
word.
