A rich Boston man, so it is said
wanted to find an occupation for his son.
So he interviewed a number of his
friends, successful men in manufacture
ing, commerce, or the professions, and
asked their Judgment as to his sons
learning the particular occupation of
each one. Each man advised to choose
any work except the one in which he
himself had been successful, anything
but that. Each man said he had not
wanted to learn his business, but he had
40 choice, WAS obliged to take it up and
keep at it, If he had his life to live
over again, or had the liberty of choice,
he would select something very different.
That which we have not is always so
much better to us than anything we
possess that we are unhappy The fault
is not in the thing itself, bat in the hui
man beng who expects any material
object to satisfy him, when happiness is
not in himself. If it is in himself, then
he can be happy, no matter what he
does for living The best work for a
person is that which he likes best and
can do best. If he cannot get it at once
he can in time work up to it. Then he
ought to contemplate the good things in
his lot and be happy.

1t does not look well even to be irving
to buy any states from our sister repub-
lie of Mexico. If the United States ex-
pressed wish to buy three Mexican
states, of course that government, so
much weaker than ourselves, would feel
under something of compulsion to
yield her territory, which she would
never willingly do 1t would be an I'M
generous thing to take advantage of our
greater strength in any way whatever,
SO far as Mexico is concerned. We can
turn her into our strongest ally on this
continent by doing what we can in a
nelghborly way to help her and our
selves as well, increasing trade and with
our capital aiding to develop her enor-
mously rich resources. The time might
possibly come when we would need lust
such friend and ally as Mexico could
be. We want none of her states. We
want to strengthen trade and amicable
relations with her. That is far better
than grabbing any of her territory from
her even by alleged purchase.

Four Varieties of Millet.

Four varieties of millet were tried OF
the Ontario experiment farm last season
The variety giving the largest yield was
China and Indian millet, introduced
from the East Indies by Professor Saun
ders. 1t is somewhat coarse, and gave a
yield of 5la tons of cured hay per acre,
German mllet gave the neAt largest
yield, viz. 4a4 tons of Cured hay pei
acre. This variety takes twenty one days
longer to ripen than the common millet
and is also somewhat coarser. hungarian
grass comes next, with four tons per acre
1t takes fourteen days longer than the
common nlillet to reach maturity. Com
mon millet was also tested and found tc
ripen earliest OF the four varieties, and
also gave the smallest yield, viz. 81, ton.
per acre.
