A Young Mans Chances.

A mother who now sends out a son
into the business world launches him
at time when the chances are all
in favor of young man, writes Ed
ward w. Box, in the Ladies' Home
Journal Business men were never
more willing to place larger trusts
upon the shoulders Of young men
than they are to-day, young
blood" as it is called, is the life Of
the modern business world, and Is
everywhere sought. In New York
the demand for the right kind Of
young men in all capacities is far
greater than the supply, and what is
true of New York is true Of all the
large cities. Bear in mind, however,
say the right kind Of young men,
and by that classification | mean
young men who are willing to work,
and work hard. The day Of the
young man who works by the clock,
eagerly watching for the hour when
the Office shall close, has gone by,
even if it ever existed, Hundreds
of young men are energetic in a new
position until its novelty wears off
and then become mere machines
whose places can be filled at
a days notice. No mother need have
undue anxiety for the success Of a
son who steps out into the business
world, so long as he bears in mind a
few essential points, He must be
honest above all things, and allow
nothing to convince him that there
is a compromise between honesty and
dishonesty. He must be an out and
out believer in the homely but fOrci-
BILE saying that man cannot drink
whisky and be in business. He must,
too, decide between being a society
man or business man; he cannot be
both. He must make his life outside
the Office the same as in it, and not
be possessed with the prevalent idea
that his employer has no business to
question his movements outside Of
Office hours, An employer has every
right to expect his employees to be re-
spectacle at all times, in the office
or out of it.

Home-Mixed FertIIIzers.

Home-mixed fertilizers are prefer
able to those bought in the markets
because the profits on the purchased
ones can be saved to the farmer. The
New Jersey experiment station Qn
Bulletin SS) gives the results Of analy-
SEES of 212 brands Of commercial fer
tilizers as we'll as number of home
mixtures. The average composition
of eight home mixtures ana Of eight
brands of special high-grade complete
fertilizers selected as the most highly
concentrated of the PIP brands analy-
zed at the station, and representing
the best manufactures, are here given:
Nitrogen Total av'ble Potash
per cent. phos, acid

The average cost per ton of the
home mixtures was $31. 36, freight
included, while the average cost per
ton of the eight selected special
brands was $43.5 a difference Of
S12. II per ton in favor of the home
mixture When il is considered that
the home mixture contained at least
81 worth of plant food in excess Of
the manufactured brands, it will be
seen that the difference in value is
still greater in favor of the home
mixture. The actual labor in mixing
these fertilizers does not exceed 81
per ton, hence the importance of
using them is plainly manifest TO
every farmer A good home mixture

A Story About the Pansy.

A pretty fable about the pansy is
current among the French and Ger
man children. The flower has five
petals and five sepals In most pan
sizes, especially Of the earlier and less
highly developed varieties, two of the
petals are plain in color and three are
gay. The two plain petals have a
single sepal, two of gay petals have a
SepaI each, and the third, which is
the largest of all, has two sepals.
The fable it that the pansy represents
family, consisting of husband, wife,
and four daughters, two of the latter
being stepchildren of the wife. The
plain petals are the stepchildren, with
only one chair; the two small gay
petals ar th3 daughters with a chair

There is one way of telling the

travellers claim is almost infallible.
Every time the car passes over joint

count the number of these clicks in

"No, dear, that's not right. Toes

A Blacksmith's Museum.

Henry B. Smith, of Detroit, Mich,
has collected an interesting museum
of local and general character. He
began life as a blacksmith at Muir
freesboro, Tenn, and settled in De-
troit in 1863. He worked hard for a
little more than a bare living, and
still found time and means to gather
the things which interested him, and
which now form valuable collection,
AS he himself explains it, he always
watched the secondhand stores Of
Detroit and other cities very care
fully. Whenever he heard of an auc-
ton sale of the effects of an old or
prominent citizen he made it a point
to be on hand. That was the source
from which many valuable relics were
obtained, including those of General
Cass and the Campau family. For
many years past he picked up every
thing of historic interest which
came within his reach. He has en-
bodied in his museum the Bella Hub
bard collection of coins, that of Her
bert Bowen, the Young collections,
and many Others of equal note. He
also picked up many valuable odds
and ends at New York auction sales.
His collection includes a very COM
plete assortment of the relics col
lected by General Lewis Cass. In it
are old newspapers dating back to
1893, an ancient warming-pan, old
brass andirons, tall brass candlesticks,
candlestick trays or walters, and pom
deIous shutters. From the Abbott
homestead he has andirons, trays,
shutters, candlesticks and tongs,
bought from the Jew dealers after

Misc Penny Needs Helm.

More than generation ago Virgin
ia Penny, a dark-eyed, comely young
woman of education and social stand
ing, published the first book ever de-
signed to help workingwomen. At
her own expense she Travelled through
the most thickly settled portions of
the Union, gathering facts and fig
ures about the work Of women out
side the three occupations then open
to the sex acknowledgements, sew
ing and teaching. The information
was written in admirable literary
style, and published in book form.
First. it was named "EmplOyments
for Women, then it was issued under
the title, "Five Hundred Occupations
for Women" and again it was called
"How Women Can Make Money"
But it never proflted the author flnan-
cially, though thousands of volumes
were sold. Miss Penny is now 60
years old and destitute, and an APP
peal in her behalf is made especially
to that class which has profted so
much by her labOrs.

An Inloycd Swain Charged With In-
lawfully Procuring Letters.

On Friday The News printed
the fact that marriage license had
been issued to Mr.. w. f. Tansil of
Tennessee and NJ ~ Alice Cathey Of
Waco
Connected with the story of love
for which the license furnished the
right Of consummation is very
pretty little romance into which the
usual stage villain is alleged TO have
entered.
TansIf, II seems, wls not the only
one in whose bosom Miss Cathey S
charms had kindled flame of love.
There was a rival named II ger
Boxdalc, and be it is who is cast for
the villains part.
On Saturday Mr.. Tansil went to
United States Commissioner. Finks
and made an atli lavit, charging
Bsxdale with nlasfully procuring
from letter carrier letters written
by 1ansil to Miss Cathey with the
intention of leaning their contents
by plying into them. The motive
to which this alleged uula~ful
action is attributed is jealousy, the
motive that so frequently prompts
the villain of the stage and story to
action.
Boxdale was arrested and thrown
into jail Saturday.
This morning he tried to fool the
officers into believing he was very
sick. He rolled his eyes, foamed al
the mouth and refused to eat. But
collateral indications were against
his theory of illness, and he failed
to gather much SYM athy.
