Diligence in Business.

"Diligent in his business!'' 1t is the
man who is diligent in his own bust
ness to whom the exalted position is
promised. There are people. dearly
beloved, who are diligent in every
body else's business, and have there
fore no time to attend to their own.
They do not stand before kings; they
more frequently stand before the pO-
lice Judge. Their diligence is not com
mendable. A workman Is known by
his chips; so alas! is the faro banker.
Do you be diIigent in your own busi-
ness and be content with it's rewards.
You may not walk so many miles in a
day as Fitzgerald, but you can sleep
a good deal more in that time, and If
you do not get so much money for it,
neither do you get so many blisters.
On your little salary at the suspender
counter. you can not clean up $780,
600 on Wall Street this week. But
then neither can you be cleaned out
Of $3.50, 600 next week.
You may not be able to set the
fashions In male attire, but you can
fill your soul with nameless 10Y and
an eXaltatiOn of celestial birth, and
climb to the top Of high Olympus, and
lean back and pile You feet on the
sofa, aud make yourself easy with the
immortal gods. by paying your land
lady every Saturday and keeping even
with your tailor. You may never be
the Washington correspondent or a
society paper, bul then yout hair
won't turn white in the agOuized effort
to explain what it Is about Il senator 8
wife who has red hair. freckles, no up
per teeth, a hair wart on her nose.
and q twahg in her shril voice. thar
makes her so bewiUchingly beautiful
ard universally admired"
Just be dihgent in your own bust
ness. and wait in patience for the re-
ward OF your diligence. 1t may be a
little slow IN coming. The mills OF
the gods grind slowly. so does a hand
organ on the Last Rose of Summer
stop. but 1t always GETS there. And
don't pay more for the reward than
the reward is worth. A man who lives
on twenty-nine cents a day viii be
apt to die wealthy, but he won't die
very tat. 1t is the liberal soul that
shall be made tat.

How to do Things.

How far is it actually true that
women do sensible things in a foolish
manner? asks a writer in Harper s
Bazaar. We must remember, to begin
with, that the way in which things
are done, even more than the capacity
OF doing things. depends on habit and
training. The farmers daughter will
60 into the barn, bring out old Dob
bin, and have him all harnessed, while
the mex perienced city bOarder, man
though he be, is specializing how to
get the narrow collar over the bulging
eyes, ending perhaps in attempting
to prove mathematically, like Cole
ridge on his pedestrian tour with
Wordsworth, that the thing is utter
ly impracticable. The fisherman
daughter will pull or sail he father s
dOry out to the rect while the fresh
water fisherman whom she carries as
passenger can only balance himself
uneasily in his seat or cling desperate
ly to the gunWale. What we call do
ing a thing sensibly or foolishly isnOt,
three times out of four, matter Of
instinct or natural fitness in any way;
1t Is q question of training.

New York Dairy Commissioners
Brown says that if the managers OF
Institutions supported at public ex
Pense IN New York state had fed the
inmates OF these institutions q prime
article Of cheese, they would have
saved the taxpayers Of the state
$SoO'oOO during the past year.
Dr. Collier, of the New York expert
ment station is quoted as Saying at
the Poughkeepsie institute that If it
were constitutional Cor the legislature
through committee TO kill and bury
% per cent. OF the dairy cattle Of the
state, the dairying interests would be
largely benefited one year hence.
An advocate OF winter dairying
says that milk made by him from en-
siage. cottonseed meal, oiI-meal, and
corn meal was better than he had.
ever been able to make from June
grass. The corn should be planted
far enough apart. to produce an ear of
corn on each stalk, and cut when the
ear IS glazed or the stalk thoroughly
matured.
Dairymen in different states are be-
coming more than ever interested In
the latest Developments of their BUSH
ness and the state experimental sta

giving assistance on disputed points.
and taking notes as to buildings, IN
RredTeAts, etc. Never before in the
history of dairying in this country
was there so great demand for infOr-
nation and such a general desire to
improve the quality OF the product.
A dairyman of Ruthland, Vt, writes
to the Mirror that he is confident feed
ing sulphur to COWS will prevent abor-
ton. If Professor NOcard's theory
that the cause of abortion is a species
OF bacillia which infest the bowels OF
the foetus and the lining of the
placenta IS correct the idea of this
dairyman may have some truth in it.
Sulphur Is known to be destructive to
germ and parasitic life. At any rate
1t may be worth trying. 1t should be
fed with care, as it is apt to produce
a peculiar relaxation of the system
when taken in too large doses.
