How 10 Produce Merit.

Misguided benevolence has its we'll
known faults. We know the benevo-
lence that does not Help a man to
help himself Is not benefcent. We
know that nothing is at its best which
puts needless obligations upon the
beneficiary. We know that to produce
merit is at least as good as TO find IL;
that to augment it is better that merely
to reward it: that its best rewards are
simple recognition, encouragement.
and opportunity; and that even in Civ
ing these, all gratuitousness is danger
Gus; and. especially, that there are
great risks IN all sudden abundance.
Beneyolence has learned that even in
social science there is Eoom and need
for sentiment. but that sentiment must
follow and obey reason, not lead and
rule it. All these things we know by
heart, and yet our failures go on.
Some say that charity has still too
much sentiment. But in fact it has
not yet enough. Some say that it has
taken on too much science. But really
it has not enough. There ought to be
nolack of sentiment in the word science.
Yet many regard science as something
that tcomplicates simple things, whereas
it simphfies complex things. If science
deals with complex things, so does
every other province of human life;
but our mental Incidence loosely treats
complexities as though they were SIM
pie. and science as the breeder of COM
plexities. Human benevolence still
needs more scientific thoughtfulness
to see complexity of things too often
thus far treated as simple, and a
greater depth of sentiment to remern-
Der it. Our efforts are still crude

gathered for manufacturing purposes
when they have obtained the height
of about two feet, and at this
rich dark blue color. To
extract the article that is sold for
mechanical and domestic uses, the
plants are placed in receptacles and
covered with fresh. clear water, in
which they remain for three days, un-
til the indican. a peculiar substance in
the juice of the plant, is decomposed
by fermentation. To this is added al
specified times n little slaked lime.
The whole is frequently stirred TO as
sist the process. The indigo is precip-
itated in dark blue sediment, which,
when dried. is the indigo of commerce.

err degree of decomposition takes place,
a very dark blue is obtained, and for
commercial purposes the darker the
color the better and higher price il
