Some Typica' p,ris Charges.

remember ,, wuen I first came to
Paris, being decidedly amused at the ey-
perience ofnanl American lady who had
an electric bell in her apartment. The
bell refused to ring one day, so she sent
for the man who had put it up to set it
to rights. He showed her that there
was nothing the matter with the bell.
some mechanical interference having
prevented it from sounding. The next
day she got his bill. After charging for
the time lost in going to and from his
shop Ga legitimate charge enough), he
had added to this item: 's.For looking
at the, belr'--one dollar. But this bill
was surpassed by one. that was lately
presented to French lady whom know
quite well. She was taken i'll last
spring with typhoid fever. and was con-
fined to bed for some six weeks. Dur
ing all this time female chiropodist,
whom she had sometimes employed,
testified the most touching interest in the
case. She was never admitted to the
sick-room, but she used to come to the
door daily and inquire into the condition
of the invalid. Finally the patient be-
came conyalescent, and one day the
chiropodist called, and presented bill
ofstartling dimensions. My friend was
quite amazed at the amount. as she had
only employed the woman occasionally.
On Investigating the items she found one
namely. 's'Inguiring for Madame" re-
peated freque ally. with a charge Of one
dollar each time. 'sWhat does this
meane'' she inquired of the chiropodist.
Madame, those are the visits that 1
made while p Madame, was SO ill.,
ssWhati YOU expect to be paid for calling
to see how I iwas2p .Most certainly,
Madame aWho sent for YOU Or
asked you to GOMEZ" '.No one; it was
only the great interest that took in
Ma lame" Sand you want to be paid

preposterous. 1 shall not pay YOU a
Single enty FOE ANYTHING OF the kind"
So. despite the indigfsnt protests OF the
| chiropodist. nis friend Struck out every
one,of the charges for Inquiries after
Madame.n whichHmyie up no less a
fetal than forty-two dollars The bill,
thus shorn OF three-feasths Of 1es proper
tons. was then paid, and the Woman
pfepared to gn..G tttsAnd when will
Madame require-my services again?"
she ASKED 1tNeyer-you have tried to
swindle me. and I shall never employ
you any more. ~. Whereupon she burst
into tears and departed. declaring that
it was her great love for Madame that
had induced her tolmaks these constant
inquiries. and. of course. sheexpeeted to
be paid for the time she had lost in mask
ing them.-Pdris Cor. Philadelphia

No Doubt.

The truest successes in life are not
those into which people fall by accident,
or those which they win by single
bold stroke, but those into which they
grow by a slow and sure unfolding of
capacity and power. The most unfortu-
nate thing than can happen to young
man is often the very thing which his
friends regard as piece of exceedingly
good luck. There is no better prepare
ton for failure than that a man has
been put into place of influence, re-
sponsibility and power, before he has
been developed and equipped for it.
Men who make this mistake. or have
the misfortune, commence life at the
apex of the pyramid, and descend, step
by step, to the bottom. The true road
to success leads in the opposite direc-,
ton; it begins in small things, and by a
patience which never yields to dis
couragement, to disappointment, to hope
deferred, moves on from one point Of
achievement to another, meeting each
new opportunity with an. increased
power and each new duty with an EN-
larged outlook upon the work to be
done.. The method of growth is the
method of nature, and no man can copy
her. methods too closely. They are
the only methods that are helpful and
unfailing. Long ago DR.. Holmes put
the whole matter of success in life ina
few pathetic words descriptive of the
race in which those who started with
most of promise were left behind, and
the unexpected winner came to the front
by virtue of qualities unsupported at the
beginning. The promise of success is
not in brilliancy Of gift, in quickness of
action, nor in high ambitions, but in that
patience which IS in itself noble achieve
ment The man who is sure to win
waits for success while ne slowly trains
himself in all the schools, OF work, en-
durance and study. The patient man
has no expectation of carrying off the
crown when he has passed the first stone
in the course, and the shouts Of the spec
tators. II they applaud his speed. have
no other effect upon him than to urge,
him on over the tract which lies between
him and the distant goal. He places
his faith not in tricks, or devices, or
luck. but in the development Of himself
by q law Of nature which is as certain in
/ its operations as that which moves the
planets in their courses. There is not
the slightest doubt that patience wins the
most lasting successes. and that be alone,
can hope for the modest things who is
willing not only to work but also to wait.

A Neglected lnd,s5try.

Bookkeeping is one of the industries
which Americans have neglected be-
cause its profits are comparatively small
and steady. It's the risky business by
which man can jump into a great
success or great failure that is popular.
There are a few large bee-keepers in
the country whose honey is found in all
the home markets and is exported to
England; but the great supply comes
from those who make the business sup
Elemental to farming, and it is this class
of small farmers who should give more
attention to the matter than they have
hitherto done. ,r 400 Ils 300.
In old times every garden in town and
allowed to stand uncleaned and unat-
tended until the bees died of cold or
foul air. Bookkeeping requires little
work compared with any other occupa-
ton, but that work must be thoroughly
and faithfully performed at regular
seasons. A lad or active woman can
take care of one hundred colonies, but
they will require hard and constant
work through the three summer months,
and there must be no Sinking. The
profits of G single hive of healthy Italian
bees average from fifteen to twenty
dollars in the first year and in the in
crease of another hive. It. is not too
sanguine reckoning, therefore,; to set
down $1,000 in very good season as
the clear gain from one thousand
colonies, which for the labor Of one OF
two persons for three months of the
year is at least fair profit on the out
lay. The large bee-keepers usually
farm out their colonies; that is, place
about twenty in each farm which offers
the proper food for them, pay for the
attention which they require, and at
stated times 90 about collecting the
honey. The supply Of fine honey never
equals the demand in the markets of our
large cities. and since the problem was
solved of shipping the combs from this
part and landing them in Liverpool I'm.
broken. the supply required for Europe
is simply unlimited Our white clover
honey is said to command q higher price
in London than the Greek. ~
Here is one of the many industries by
which farmers daughters in this co.'ntry
could earn . comfortable support and
remain at honey Y. Tribune.

The Road Laws.

The veXed question rs how best to
secure good roads is agitating the
minds Of the solons at Austin. il is
problem that never seems to have been
satisfactorily Settled in any of the
states of the South, at least. A bill re-
ducing the number of days service
that co,;ld be required on the public
roads came up on Thursday and ellie
itod warm discussion. Mr.. Brown of
Johnson opposed the law, because the
roads in his county were in wretched
condition, and needed more, rather
than less work. Mr.. UPTON of
Fayette would oppose the bill
unless his county was ex-
empted. as fifty days would be in
sufficient to make good passable roads.
Mr.. CoCHRANE Of Dallas favored the
bill, and said that before he would
vote for the enormous personal tax inn
posed under the old law, he would
prefer to zee no road law ut all. Mr..
HAzLEWoop opposed, and Mr.. STOUT
favored the bill, and so il went until
Mr.. MCKINNEY cut the gordian knot
by moving that the bill he postponed
and printed, which was ordered. Leg
islators seem to forget the one vital
principle in n republican-democra
government, that property should pay
taxes. Any other principle than this
is erroneous, and any law that
Is not based upon this principle fails
for want Of the sustaining power Of
| public sentiment, TO secure its enforce
ment, The present law requiring ten
days work from all persons between
! the ages of eighteen and forty-iive
years, if properly enforced would &C.
cure good roads in nearly all parts of
the state. 1t is not enforced because
public opinion is against it. Public
opinion, usually correct, knows that
it is an act of injustice to require OF
II youth under twenty-one
| years of age, not entitled TO n
vote, owning no property and
peradventure, only temporarily so
journing IN IA community, to pay tax
of ten days labor to improve the roads,
and enhance the value of his employ
er's or neighbours property who by the
accident of age, or of residence, is re-
CURED to pay no tax mt all. Let the
Legislature grasp the question rightly
and fearlessly. Let them levy road
tax ON the valuation Of property, and
let it be paid in money or labor AS the
owner elects, and gsod roads will be
the rule, and not the exception, in
Texas.
