This personifioation of spiritual force

A thoroughly cultivated woman does

we call self discipline as distinct from
the discipline coming from outside of

race which is such a hydrometer of the
specific gravity Of personal civilization
as the faculty of human speech.

A 4. STEWARDS METHODS.

His Phnnomensi Longhsadedness In Com
mrrcai His New Manager.
"Halston" in New York Times
Mr.. Stewards mastery of his gigantic
business interests was phenomenal. He
see ed to know everything, seemed to
control everything, required to push his
great successes. No matter what was
the experience of another dry goods
men he became powerless in the Stew
art establishment; no man but he who
founded it could manage that famous
house in his day. The best men obtain
able were always on salary with him.
He never saw a man whose enterprise
and methods pleased him that he did
not at once set about planning to bring
that man into his employ.
So once in Boston he became inta+
ested in the methods of the manager of
a prominent house, and by the offer of
an increased salary employed him, and,
bringing him to New lork, placed him
in charge of one Of the departments OF
the big store. In some way an immense
stock OF goods had accumulated in that
department, and Mr.. Stewart, showing
his new manager about, pointed out
this fact and asked what he would do
with those goods. They represented a
value of 81 900 or more. The Boston
man hesitated a little, but finally he be-
came brave, warmed up to his theme,
and evolved a very beautiful scheme for
the disposition of the goods gradually.
Stewart listened attentively, drawing
out his new superintendent on even the
minutest details. Then, when he had
heard all that the manager had to say,
he quietly remarked;
That may be a good way, but I've
got a different way. am glad | know
what you would have done, though.
Under these circumstances / always like
to know the ideas of my men-it always
enables me to detect when any attempts
are made to depart from my instrue-
lions. And Just bear one thing in mind;
Eve employed you to carry out orders
lon't forget it.
Then the famous merchant laid out a
wholly different plaza plan that
seemed to the new arrival the yastest
and foolishest of schemes, whose result
would only be Overwhelming and un-
pardonable losses. A. T. Stewart,
though, would brook no further sugges-
tons; his mind was made up; over
board all at once went the tremendous
stock. But that same gentleman from
Boston, a man of standing in the trade.
has since confessed that Stewart knew
what he-was about, and that the or
ders ne gave to sacrifice the goods
proved his characteristic lo~ngheaded-
ness. Within a twelyemonth goods of
that same sort were a drug in the mar
ket, andi any other than Mr.. Stewards
plan had been carried out the
losses would have been more than double
than really followed the of-hand sacri-
fees that were made.
