JEALOUS MEN THE SUCCESSFUL ONES
As far rs natural endowments deter
mine, the Jealous men are par emnenct
the successful ones. But they have g
besetting sin which, being intrinsic, is
therefore, perhaps, not quite sin-bigot
ry. Except in the case of great creative
minds. 1t is necessary to be somewhat
partial in order to succeed in affairs
Broad culture is seldom efficient in any
immediate way; narrow, intense purpose
accom- plishes the hard enterprises of the
world. and is everywhere at premium
among those who are interested in getting
things done. have respect for bgost
and partisans, and believe that the world
owes II great debt to intolerant one sided
men 1t must have them; it could not
push its reforms, or get its rough unpleas
ant work done else. Narrow men are
edged men, men of single and determined
purposes and in their purposes they are
apt 10 succe,d. The liberal. the spirits Of
insight, really rule all, though they are
not alwa,s seen to do so; they create the
thoughts hat direct the worlds forces
BIZ they turn over their thoughts to
nmie~ ot et!rrng partisans, who adjust
by farce IT Al ms the claims OF opposing
truths. The philosopher would prefer to
wait for evolution. and to let things settle
themselves quietly; but the reformers
cannot wait Tor this. So they organize
boards. wage religious wars, and piously
burn ii e witches There is a sad waste OF
force IN hcse proceedings; but men prom

THIEvING IN MEXICo.-The editor of
the Lawrence american, who is giving
his readers an account Of what he saw
during his recent visit to Mexico. says
there is an almost universal propensity
for ,hieving among the lower classes. A
railroad official a.sured him that when u
train stopped at u station it was necessary
to keep tho connections drawn taut-
otherwise the connecting pins and links
would be stolen under the very eyes of the
trainmen; on every kilometer post along
the line of the Mexican Central railway
is painted in Spanish, an inscription sub
stantiallv this: This company will not
be responsible for personal injury to or
loss of life by any person attempting to
remove this post, as there is charge OF
dynamite at the basel" Wood is scarce,
and these posts we're temptation to the
natives during the night time, hence this
warning; the Mexicans don't understand
dynamite; they won't use it in blasting,
and are generally afraid of it; therefore
the posts have remained undisturbed
Frequently the spikes have been drawn

Eggs IN WINTER. Patience Prngley
presents IN the Poultry Bulletin a cheerful
picture of fowls well housed and fed, "A
condition in pleasant contrast to that
which they are commonly subjected dur
ing the cold months, and which in her
case they reward handsomely by constant
lays when eggs are eggs:
"A house boarded, shingled and covered
with tarred paper. the windows facing
south, the floor tight and well Uttered
with dry straw, is warm enough for
healthy fowls, even in pretty severe
weather. Prepare good dusting place in
the sunlight. If you feed warm, stimula
ting food and meat to good young hens in
a good house you are sure to gather eggs
everv day. Some are against feeding
meat, but the hens are wild for it in cold
weather, and. if you only will take the
trouble to cook it, it won't hurt a bit, but
will make them lay. This meat | buy at
the butchers, refuse stuff, and cheap; l
boil bones, grind them up fresh, feed the
meat chopped and mixed with warm
pudding or mush, in the morning, and the
bones keep by the laying hens constant

bones are boiled use every drop of to
mix with the mush, and | tell you it will
make a flock of hens sing of eggs on a

Give an early breakfast Of mush. i
make it one way always. Take, say for a
ten quart pail of mush, two quarts of hot
water; into this put either II teaspoonful
of red pepper and ginger or IL tablespoon
full of red pepper and ginger or table
spoonful of egg food, and stir it up, then
put in two quarts boiled and mashed veg
etables, cabbage, turnips, carrots or
potatoes, almost any vegetable will an

then four quarts of meal Stir this mess
we'll together; if too wet, add little more
meal, stir this mess well together; If too
wet, add little more meal; if too dry a
little more hot water, and you have n
smoking hot breakfast that will make
hens lay. Every other morning stir into
the mush a few handfuls of chopped meat,
as particular treat. At noon give them
a little cracked corn, scattered among the
floor litter, and occasionally buckwheat,

corn, invariably. For drink | always give
warm water and they like it. | keep the

WILLIAM WIRT's SECRET William
Wirt's letter to his daughter, on the
"small. sweet courtesies of life," contains
passage from which great deal of
happiness might be learned
II want to tell you a secret. The way
to make yourself pleasant to others is to
show them attention. The whole world
is like the miller of Mansfield, who cared
fer nobody-no. not he-because nobody
cared for him. And the whole world
would serve you SO if you gave them
cause. Let people see that you do care
for them by showing them what Sterne so
happily called the small oourtesies. in
which there is no parade, whose voice is
too still to tease, and which manifest
themselves by tender and affectionate
looks and little acts of attention, giving
others the preference in every little enjoy
ment. at the table, in the field, walking,
sitting and standing"

FOtS To LIFE IN lNDIA,-lt is somewhat
remarkable that in spite of the enormous

the Iorrd almost to the frigid. Last yeal
there were 22,1 human beings and

increase on the totals of the previous year
Of the human beings destroyed, 10 5l9

and POP TO alligators-nearly all the dun

these pestlent denizens, and last year he
destruction took place of 1891 wild
animals and 322.45l snakes; but it would
seem that little or no impression has
been made upon the surviving mass. If
the snakes could be rxtnguished the
problem ould be less difficult of solution;
bu, the haunts of these deadly reptiles
pr, sent obstacles to pursuit which no one
has attempted to overcome, and the most
that need be hoped for at present is the
slaughter of those venturing among the
beaten tracks of men. The aligators
that prowl in the rivers, and last year
killed 202 persons, can pretty well defy
human hostility, rs there does not appear
to be any method of extermnating them.
When we consider that, in addition TO the
Dangers of life from so many foes to our
species, the great territory of India
swarms with volatile insects of various
kinds--from mosquitoes to locusts--it
