In Cyrus Fields advice to young men
on how to get rich he says: "Stick to
what you undertake. Be honest and be
brief. ! don't believe In long business
letters. There is no business SO impor-
tant that you cannot put the whole Of 1t
upon one sheet Of paper.
Mr.. Field here states one Of those great
modern truths that ought to sink deep
into every human soul, but which do not.
Cyrus also thinks the chances for max
ing . fortune are just a. good as they
ever were. only the methods arc different
and large combinations Of capital are
now necessary. But then several poor
persons can put their small capital to-
gether in our day and make 1t one large
one, 30 that even the necessity for enor-
NOUS sums to begin with may Be met
and fortune won, provided only people
win b brief enough. Tho testimony Of
this man, who has managed many mill
ions and made them grow larger always,
a that he has made the cultivation Of
brevity in all things prime point. ana
found that it paid.
Therefore, be brief, and you will get
rich. Whether you make q call, write
letter or preach sermon, be brief.
When you write for publication. be brief.
Make no palaver Of beginning, make no
palaver of ending. Dash into the midst
Of what you want to say, say it, and
stop. The essays in the magazines and
reviews could in almost every case be
shortened by at least one-half and be the
better for it. Life is too short in our
century for deluge Of words.

guard against, that IN the course Of his
life steals the most money. Il is always
TIE trusted employee who has the conf
dence Of everybody about him that
makes the great hauls. A boy goes into
an Office fresh and bright from school.
He has frank, trustfnl way with him
that all properly born men and women
have in youth. before they have been
cheated 20 often that they learn to hide
themselves within themselves. But when
in spite Of being cheated over and again
Z people can still retain this frank, open
way through life, II constitutes great
part OF that mysterious charm we call
magnetism.
The boy wins the hearts Of employers
by his bright frankness, his quickness
and good nature. They In time trust
him to any extent. because good nature
and obligingness coupled with . quick
brain are not plentiful in this world So
II goes Oh for years. The trusted boy 4

has brains ID attain. Then suddenly
some trivial thing occurs. perhaps an
absence from duty for day. no matter
what. Like thunderclap comes the
revelation that the trusted youth has
been stealing right and left for long
time, robbing his friends and employers
OF hundreds. maybe thousands Of dol
lars.
There was nothing the boy could not
have aspired to in that business house.
But all goes in a crash The story fol-
lows him, and his future IL not ruined
is clouded for years Now It Is certain
that if he had only had sense enough
plain common sense and foresight---to
stick to his work and behave himself, in
a very short time he would have had far
more money than he got by stealing. He
stole simply because he had not sense
enough to be honest. So with the trusted
cashier or president. Those who think
they know him best would stake their
heads on his integrity, would trust all
the savings Of their lives in his hands,
and do thus trust them. Then some
miserable day 1t falls ont that this re
spected citizen Is thief. liar and vii

The Richest Man i'm Inner Africa.

We present here the latest portrait of
the great Central African, Tippu lib.
Tippu lib will soon be in Arabia again,
his birth place, for he is a native of Mus
cat. He is on the way to revisit the
land of his fathers. He was the son Of
a half caste Arab, and his mother was a
full-blooded negro slave. In point of
ancestry, therefore, many of the Arabs
whom he has controlled as a master does
a slave, look down upon him.
He is the man described by Cameron
as an African dandy, and of whom
Stanley said that he was the finest gentle
man he had ever met in Africa. By
pure intellectual superiority Tippu lib,
after he went to the lake regions as a
trader, gradually gained the supremacy
over all other traders, until d large tract
Of country, extending from Kassongo, on
the Upper Congo, to Stanley Falls, ac-
knowledged him as its ruler. He has
supreme influence over all the Arabs in
the district he governs, and if so dis
| posed he can be of much assistance to
the Congo Free State in its efforts to
suppress slave raids.
For several years he lived at Stanley
| Falls, where he accumulated an immense
quantity of ivory, much of which has
The Opelousas courier., 1891-05-30

been taken to the coast by caravans OF
1000 to 5000 men. His home, however,
is at Kassongo. At Stanley Falls he
lives in a mean little hut, apparently
caring nothing for its discomforts, though
he is rich enough, if he chose, to live IN
one Of the finest houses in zanzibafs
Gleerup, the Swede, who crossed
Africa a while ago, visited Kassongo and
reported that Tippu Tbs dwelling there
was a fine stone mansion, which would
compare favorably with any private resi-
dence in Zanzibar.
Though in his dealings with white
men he has been courteous, obliging and
generally faithful, Tippu lib in the past
has caused an enormous amount OF suffer
ing to the helpless natives of Central
Africa. He has made slaves of thousands
of them, and this has involved the de-
struction of many villages and the slaughi-
ter of many helpless natives. No one
supposes that he is aetuated by any
motive than that of self-interest.
He has now agreed to stop slave raid
| ing in the territory he controls, only be-
aus he sees that it is his interest to do
SO. He is a very shrewn man, and find.
ing 1t useless to oppose the advance OF
the whites, he has decided to~~co-operate
with them, knowing that 1t is to Their
advantage to give him abundant oppor-
tunity to carry on his trading enterprises.
1t is hoped that this able man, who is
by far the richest person in inner Africa.
NAV be made a valuable agent in carly,
ing on the civilizing work now in pro
gress on the Upper Congo and in TIT
lake regions.-New York journal.

Leaf and Stick Insects.

The leaf insect and the walking-stick
insect are curious creatures. All of the
family to which they belong are noctur-
nal in habit, and spend their days rest
ing on bushes the leaves of which form
their food. They sc resemble the leaves
and twigs as to escape all but the
very keenest observation. In the leaf
insect, the head and thorax form a stalk,
while the abdomen, which is fiat, thin,
and much diIated, exactly resembles a
leaf. The six legs have broad, mem
branous appendages on the upper part,
which are especially noticeable on the
fore-legs; SO that the creature while rest
ING has the appearance of a leaf that has
been gnawed on both sides BY caterpll-
lar. While the color of the insect varies at
different periods of its life, it always more
or less resembles a leaf at sone stage;
when settled on the leaves and eating at
them, its body becomes bright green.
After death it becomes brown like a dry
leaf. The stick insects are common in
the tropics, which are the principal hab-
itat OF the leaf insects, and are also found
in temperate regions, including the
United States. The tropical species are
the largest, some of them reaching nine
or ten inches in length. They are
hatched from the egg in a form closely
resembling that of their parents, coming
into the world with three pair of legs,
which keep their shape with but little, il
any, alteration during their entire exist
ence, and which are all walking limbs.
At all stages Of their life they closely re-
semble sticks and twigs, either green
and growing, or brown and withered,
from which they obtain their name
| They are also called speeters, from then
skeleton like appearance and their slow,
stealthy movements. A colony of these
insects in the London Geological Gardeas
IS breeding prosperousfv.

Mexican Meteorites.

In an account of Mexican meteorites,
Mr.. Z. Fletcher, an English nninerale.
gist, describes fourteen huge masses of
iron which have been found within a
small section of the country. The largest
has the form of a beehive, rises four feet
above the ground, and is five feet in di-
ameter at the surface of the soil, beneath
which it extends to unknown depths.
The second mass, estimated to weigh
1000 pounds, is now in the National
Museum at Washington. The Butcher
masses number eight pieces, weighing
from 800 pounds TO $50 pounds, and
having a total weight Of 1000 pounds.
The Sanchez estate mass weighs 25s
pounds. The greatest dispersion is sixty
six miIes.-B0stop Transcript,
