Preparation the Important Factor,

The discovery by Edison of the carbon
with which he perfected his electric lamp
seems happy accident, but such acct
dents never happen to common men.
The great inventor scraped some SCOT
from the blaclened chimney Of his lab
oratory lamp, and in a spirit of curios-
ity tested its properties. It proved to be
the thing for which he was searching,
but behind this fortunate discovery was
series Of exhausting and exhaustive ex-
periments with all kinds of likely mate
rails, absorbing the energies of many
months. The lucky hit rewarded the
persistent will of patient workman.
So with the young and obscure lawyer
who conducts and wins a difficult case,
as did Thomas Erskine in his elders ILL.,
ness, or the struggling surgeon who has
a sudden chance of distinction offered to
him. he must have had long and la
borions preparatory training before he
can profit by such an emergency. In
short, q great opportunity is worth to a
man precisely what his antecedents have
enabled him to make Of it.-William
Mathews in Earper's Young People,

q Torn In Pawn.

It may not be generally known that
the little seaport town Of Wismar, in the
Baltic, is virtually in the same position
as Montague Tigg's shirt-namely. at
the pawnbrolzer's. It was in 1903 that
Sweden pawned the town to the duchy of
Mecklenba1g for round sum of money. 1t
was then stipulated that the town should
be restored to Sweden at the end of a
century, provided the sum lent, together
with interest. We're paid back to Neck
!enburg. -r.E
This sum is now said to amount to sew
eral hundred million marks, and appar-
emily there is little chance of Wisn1ar
being able to pay it at the date fixed.
This singular treaty has lain dormant in
the archives Of the municipality ever
since it was made up to the other day,
when, apropos of the concession Of some
land to the custom authorities, it was
exhumed for legal purposes Million.

was the interrogatory which she pro-
pounded, "What can you tell me about
George Washington? And these are
few of the individual answers:
HE was the savior Of us ALL
He was tbs owner Of the soldiers
He was the man who can shoot

A Michigan woman has taken
ont patents for new process Of

other things, which she claims, and
apparently with reason, is far in
advance Of the old methods. All
goods are first properly cooked,

not soldered, as the goods are to
be subjected TO a powerful vacu.

COME SOUTH.

The above is the advice given by
a Michigan man who located in
this county. He published lei
Ter in the Reed City, Mich, Clar.
ion, in which he says:
"Without casting reflection up
on Michigan, and having in mind
plenty of love for my native State,
but not enough to blind me, |
think there is no more desirable
place under the canopy OF heaven
10 pursue the agricultural calling
than here. Houses do not have to
be built with a view TO warmth,
but simply for shelter, and one can
Hive in tent a year round. There
is no call for expensive barns. Sim.
ply an open shed for shelter is all
that is required, forage tor winter
feeding il desired can better be Sc
cured in open sheds. We would
say 10 some of the croakers up
North that are talking about stop
ping immigration TO the United
States, that if they could see the
room for them in The South, the,
would let up. Without drawing
at all upon the Imagination, sa.
with all sincerity, that ii you wan

IT D0EsN'T'C0ST MONEY.

It doesn't cost money, as many suppose,
To have good time on the earth;
The best Of its pleasures are free unto those
Who know how to value their worth.
The sweetest Of music the birds to us sing,
The loveliest flowers grow wild,
The finest of drinks gushes out of the spring
All free to man, woman and child.
No money can purchase, no artist can paint,
Such pictures as nature supplies
Forever, all over, TO sinner and saint,
whouse to advantage their eyes.
Kind words and glad looks and smiles CHEEKY
and brave
Cost nothing--no, nothing at all;
And yet all the wealth Monte Christie could
save
Can make no such pleasures befall.
To bask in the sunshine, to breathe the pure
air,
Honest toll, the enjoyment Of health,
Sweet slumber refreshing pleasures we
Without any portion of wealth.
Communion with friends that are tried, true
and strong,
TO love and be loved for loves sake
In fact, all that makes alife happy and long
! Are free to whoever will take.
