BRAINS IN BUSINESS.
The One Great Secret of Success in Com
mercial Life.

merClai Lie.
One great secret of success in bust
ness-the secret. in fact, of success on
q large scalc--iS to conceive of it as a
matter of principle, not merely as q
series of transactions. There are great
merchants as there are great states
men, and there are small merchants as
there are small politicians; and the
difference between the great and the
small man is very much the same in
both professions. The small politician
works by the day, and sees only the
one small opportunity before him; the
small merchant does the same thing
he is looking for the next dollar. The
statesman, on the other hand, is master
Of the situation because he understands
the general principles which control
events; this knowledge enables him to
deal with large questions and to shape
the future. The great merchant does the
same thing: his business is not a mere
moncy-getting affair, not mere matter
of barter, but science and an art; he
studies the general laws of trade,
watches the general condition of the
country, investigates present needs,
foresees future wants, and adapts his
business to the broad conditions Of his
time and place. He puts as much
brains into his work as does the states
man, and he ends by being, not a
-gettcr, but large-minded and
capable man. An emiuently successful
business man, of the statesmanlike
quality, said the other day that the
more he understood Of life. the more
clearly he saw that it was all done on
business principles. BY which he
meant, not that the universe stands for
the dollar, that the universe is governed
by unvarying laws: that promptness,
exactncss, thoroughness, and honesty
are wrought into its very fiber. Oh
these business principles all life is con
dncted-if not by men, at least by thai
! Power which is behind man. 1t ought
to be the ambition of every young mar
to treat his business from the point o
view of the statesman and not from tina
of the politician. -Christian Union.

Origin of the Word "snob.

The origin of the word "Snob' has
generally been attributed TO Thack-
cray, TO whom, certainly, may be
credited the fact of its having taken its
place in the English language as a
regular noun substantive, expressive
of something that no other single word
can adequately convey. 'Snob" was
in use, however, before Thackeray
came into the field as satirist. 1t
was then slang word much used
among hunting men in England to de-
note sportsman of the Cockney school
"a vulgar swell as distinguished from
quiet, well-appointed gentleman.
"Snobs' was also used to denote per-
sons who worked for lower wages dur
ing strike, the men who stood out be-
ing distinguished as "nobs." Thack-
cray adopted the word "Snob" for want
of better, extended it so as to take
in great deal beyond mere dress and
manners. and used it to such good pur-
pose that it at once took hold of the
popular mind and became classical. as
meaning one who mcanly tries to APP
pear to be something more than he
actually is, or is entitled to BEN. 7.

MuTILATEp CURRENCY.
How to Get an Old and Worn-Out Dill or
Coin Redeemed.

From eleven until twelve O'clock
daily the United States Treasurer
throws open to throngs of visitors at
the Treasury Department many of the
wonders Of the great treasury of the
United States. One Of the rooms into
which the visitors are taken is that in
which are examined and passed upon
laLge amounts of Government currency,
tattered, torn, swallowed, burned,
chewed, eaten by drugs, etc, but sent
in to be replaced by crisp new bills.
The majority of visitors to this room,
however. scarcely have time to ask
more than few hurried questions az
to how the lady experts can detect
counterfeits from genuine bills, what is
done with the old bills redeemed, and
like questions arising from curiosity,
yet in all their work these bright lady
clerks and their supervising officials are.
governed by strict department regula-
tions, which daily affect numbers OF
people who find themselves in posses
sion of partially worn or defaced cur
rency. Aside from the regular bust
ness OF examining and sorting the large
amounts Of old but unmutilated money
sent in for redemption from the differ
ent sub-treasuries. individual pieces of
l1rnltilated currency are all inspected
and their value determines ~fnrshlR d..
vision without being sent, as are the
mutilated bills, to the Offices of the sec
rotary and register.
"What are your regulations as to the
redemption of mutilated currency or
coin in the Treasurer's Officer" a cor
respondent asked a treasury official.
.'If person sends us United States
note somewhat torn, but exceeding in
size nine-tenths of it's original proper
tions in one piece" he replied, "the
governor will forward the sender
new United States note of the same
denomination as the one sent in. The
proportion Of any note present is de-
| termined by means of glass measur-
ing instrument which is placed over
the bills to be measured. This piece
OF glass is of the same size as the
United States bills, and is suitably di-
vided into squares SO as to furnish a
ready means OF ascertaining what pro-
portion of the bill is missing. Mutt
lated gold certificates, silver certif-
Gates and United States notes arc all
redeemed at their face value if no
more than one-tenth of their proper
tions is missing, while fractional cur
rency notes are redeemed at their face
value, provided no more than two
tenths Of their original proportions are
missing. A still larger margin is al
| lowed in the case of National bank
notes. which are replaced by the Gov
eminent at their face value if only
thrce-tifths of their original proper
lions are presented, provided they bear
the name of the bank by which they
were issued and the signature of one
Of its officers. This large margin is
allowed because National bank bills
are less easily manipulated when pieced
than other currency on account OF the
names of the banks and signatures OF
their officers being different on bills
of the several banks. Washington

THE DARK DEEP SEA.
The Depth TO Which Daylight Will PEN
citrate Water.

citrate Water.
It has long been known that the day
light can not penetrate for any great
distance into the depths of the sea or
our deeper lakes. There has been.
however, much discrepancy in the re-
suits of experiments. A Swiss investi-
gator, NJ. Asper, has recently combined
his researches with those of Prof. F.
A. Forrell. and come to some interest
ing conclusions concerning the pone-
tration of daylight into the waters of
the Swiss lakes. The method OF the
experiments is interesting. By means
OF somewhat complicated apparatus,
rapid gelatine-bromide plate was,
with proper protection, lowered to the
depth desired, exposed for ten minutes
! and then withdrawn for development.
The results of several trials appear to
establish the general conclusion that in
the Lake Geneva in the month of Sep
TENDER the amount of daylight at the
| depth of 10 meters below the surface
is about the same as the light perceived
| vi IL l1CAl OA1Si 10 Nv LlOpiAs
Similar experiments carried on in the
| Mediterranean appear to show that in
the middle Of a bright sunlit day per-
feet darkness is attained at the depth
laaf 400 meters.
Y Thus at Tess tiEsfs Of strwss-nroh
ably pass below the level where sun
light has any sensible influence on the
life which the waters contain. As
most of the sea foor-probably more
than Observation-Disclosures of its area
has q greater depth than 1900 feet, we
may assume that in general the life Of
the sea bottom has to live in utter
darkness, a gloom practically as deep
as that of cavern. AS over half the
earth's surface is covered by water TO
a greater depth than 1890 feet. it fol-
| lows that more than half OF the earth
receives no direct effect from sunlight.
| The experiments on Lake Geneva APP
| pear to show a seasonal variation in
the transparency OF the waters, there
being difference of twenty or thirty
meters in the penetration OF light, the
suns rays attaining the greatest depth
in March and the least in August. The
difference in the penetration of light
into the waters OF the Mediterranean
and those of Lake Geneva appears to
indicate that the latter basin contains
in its waters, despite the apparent
clearness of the fluid. certain small
amount of organic or inorganic matter.
