Literary.

The story called "Anthony Kent" by
Charles Stokes Wayne, and contained in
the December number of Tales From Town
Topics is particularly bright, lively and
dramatic, with variety of character
and incident that holds the readers at
tention from start to finish. It's opening
chapter introduces to us the hero of the
tale, happygo-lucky man Of the world
who, while strolling through a street in
Venice, is attracted by pair Of skirts,
and by means OF startling piece of
effrOntery forms the acquaintance of a
very beautiful and mysterious woman.
AS it turns out, this incident is the turn
ing point in the young mans career.
The woman that Anthony Kent meets
in Venice plays very important part in
his life. She is an adventures who has
known innocent days and has a past
She loves Kent, and devotes her life to
him. He is happy with her until, in
America, he meets young girl whose
innocence appeals to his somewhat sin
hardened nature, and to this one his
heart goes out. And when he has learned
to love her he finds that she is the daugh-
ter of his mistress, the deserted child OF
whom he had often heard Naturally
enough this complicated and romantic
condition OF affairs is interesting, and as
the author has treated his subject with
great lucidity and directness, the novel
is one OF decided force. The descriptive
scenes in Venice and Monte Carlo are
particularly vivid, and altogether Mr..
Wayne can be credited with the produc-
ton OF strong piece Of narrative work.

BUSINESS EDUCATION.

ISoutnern Business College Journal.
This is pre-eminently a commercial
age. Never before since the creation
Of the world has the intercourse
between men and nations been SO
great as in this age. Under the light
Of science man has explored the great
seas and discovered new continents.
He has gone down into the mighty
vaults OF the earth and brought forth
its rich treasures. He has analyzed
the properties of the soil, and caused
it to bring forth abundant harvests.
He has measured the power Of our
rivers, utilized the latent forces Of
steam, snatched the electricity from
the heavens and caused them all to
contribute to his happiness and COM
fort By the improved means Of
travel, transportation and CommunlCa-
ton the ends OF the earth are brought
together and all men are neighbors.
The farmer tills the ground and
feeds the world. The miner brings
the various metals from the bowels of
the earth and the world uses them.
| The manufacturer converts the raw
material into more useful form.
The merchant studies the law of
demand and supply, and imports from:
every quarter Of of the globe articles
of commerce necessary to the com
fort and convenience Of man. Thus
it is through the entire catalogue, we
are mutually dependent upon each
other through the medium Of COM
merCe.
Yes, this is a commercial age and a
commercial nation. The time has
come when every person who expects
to compete successfully for an honest
living must be educated, not simply in
the dead languages, higher mathemat-
les, ETC., but educated in that which
helps to move the vast machinery OF
the business world. The essential re-
quirments OF the hour is a knowledge
of business. The ignorant are
crowded to the wall to make room for
the live, active, vigorous young men
and women who possess the keenness
of intellect and readiness of compre
hension, resulting from a thorough
business education. The business
world grows larger and larger, its
affairs more and more complicated,
and the field is full of zen, shrewd
| business men.

more expensive than marketing cotton.
From the evidence, I doubt very much
if beets can be raised and hauled to
railroad a greater distance than SIX
miles with profit. A drought affected
the present crop and the yield varied
from eleven to thirty-two tons per
arce. The general testimony, how
ever, was that an average crop (well
cultivated was about twenty tons per
acre. The cost of production varies
from $40 to $50 per acre. The diff
culties they have to contend with are
wind, cold and labor. Sometimes
after the beets are planted the wind
will blow the seeds out of the ground,
and necessitate replanting. The cold
weather frequently catches part of
the beet crop in the ground, and he
earth freezes 50 it is impossible to get
plow in the ground again during
that season.
"Labor is the greatest drawback to
that country. The only labor a far
mer has is his own family, and if he
is fortunate enough to secure laborer,
he has to pay him $3.50 per day and
| board.
"The sugar beet company advances
money on the growing crop. This it
can safely do, as it only can use the
beets. 1t also has brought large num-
bers Of laborers from Chicago (nine-
teen hours by railroad) and numbers
deserted the night Of their arrival.
They have brought in Indians, but
not with satisfactory results.
With beets at S. per ton, 20 tons
to the acre and corn at IS cents per
bushel, IS bushels to the acre, one can
see the difference between beets and
their staple crop, the estimated cost
of raising and marketing an acre of
corn being S42, and Of an acre of
beets $40

The Reason w by.

Do you know why so many careers,
full Of promise at the start, fail to
reach eminence and pause at medioc
rity? Do you know why we have so
much superficial literature and art, so
many statesmen, professional and
business men who achieve nothing and
wear gray hairs and eyeglasses before
middle a4c, and become the victims
of dyspepsia and nervous prostration ?
The explanation is to be found in
the fact that too many of the men
and women who try to go to the front
engaging in too many occupations.
The man who wants to be successful
as statesman, lawyer or merchant
can not do his work we'll and be a
public lecturer, temperance leader,
educational reformer, and secretary Of
two or three societies. The woman
who wants to be a model wife and
mother can not afford TO be a society
leader, magazine writer, president of
literary club and ruling spirit in
church and charitable societies.
A man may have great abilities,
and may be fitted for a distinguished
and successful career, but he must
devote his life work to some speciality.
If he tries to lead and shine in half a
dozen different occupations he will
neglect them all, more or less, and he
will inevitably degenerate into a
superficial person.
The old fashioned idea of conCen-
trating our energies upon one thing in
order to do it we'll should be revived
in this superficial age. No man is a
universal genius. No man can hope
widely different lines of work.

then call in my witnesses. The first
witness takes his oath, and then rises
up and contradicts me to my face
What good will all my pleading do?
| might address the jury a month and
be as eloquent as Cicero, but SO. long
as my witness contradicted me all my
pleading would do no good. Just SO
it is with minister who is preaching
in the midst of a cold, stupid and
God hishonoring church. In vain
does he hold up to view the great
truths of religion, when every member
of the church is ready to swear he lies.
Why, in such church their very
manner of going out of the aisles con-
tradicts the sermon. They press out
as cheerful and easy, bowing to one
another, and whispering'together as if
nothing was the matter. Let the..min-
lster warn every man daily with tears,
it will produce no effect. If the devil
should come in and see the state OF
affairs he would think he could not
better the business for his interest.

Yet there are ministers who will go
on in this way for years, preaching
over the heads of such a people, that
by their lives contradict every word
they say, and they think it their duty
to do SO. Duty! To preach to a
church that is undoing all his work
and contradicting all his testimony,
and that will not alter? No. Let
him shake off the dust from his feet
for testimony, and 90 to the heather
or to the new settlements. The man
is wasting his energies and wearing
out his life and just rocking the cradle
for a sleepy church, all testifying to
sinners there is no danger. Their
whole lives are a practical testimony
that the Bible is not true. Shall min
isters continue to wear themselves out
so? Probably not less than ninety
nine one-hundredths of the preaching
in this country is lost, because it is
contradicted by the church. Not one
truth in hundred that is preached
takes effect, because the lives of pro.
fessors testify that it is not so.
