From the Ladies' Home Journal.
The electric atmosphere of the American
business world is all too apt to make our
young men impatient. They want to fly
before they can even walk well. Ambition
is a splendid thing in any young man. But
he must not forget that, like fire and water.
Getting along too fast is just as injurious
as getting along too slow. \ young man
between twenty and twenty-five must be
patient. l know patience is a difficult thing
to cultivate hut it is among the first lessons
We must learn in buSin eSS. A good stock
of patience, acquire in early life, will stand
man in good stead in later years II is
a handy thing to have and draw upon. and
makes splendid safety valve. Because a
young man, as he approaches Twenty-Five
begins 20 things more plainly than he
did five years before he mustn't get the
idea that he is a business man yet. and en-
titled to a mans salary. If business QueS-
tons. which he didn't understand five years
before. now begin to look clearer to him, it
Is because ne is passing through the tran
STORY state that divides the immature judg-
ment of the young man and the ripening
penetration Of the man. He is simply be-
ginning From then he will grow and his
salary Will grow he grows. But Rome
wasn't built in day. and business man
isn't made in a night As experience comes
the Judgment will become mature and by
the time the young man reaches thirty he
Will begin Ia realize that he didn't know as
much at twenty-five he thought he did
And when he is ready to learn from others
he will begin to grow wise. And when he
reaches that state where he is willing to
cor'cede that he hasn't a corner on knowl-
edge in this world he will be stepping out of
the chrysalis of youth.

RESTORATION At BLUEFIELDS.
The British Land an Armed Force 81
Protect the Mosquito Chief.

The British warship Cleopatra has arrived
at Colon, Papama, from Bluefeds. Mos
quito territory. Nicaragua, and soon after
she reached port it became known that her
commander had landed and left there an
armed force of eighty men, ten officers and
three boats. with Instructions to protect the
Mosquito chief against any attempt upon
the part of the Nicaraguan government to
break the treaty of $780, securing to the
former autonomy.
Upon the demand of the British command
err the state of siege or martial law was
withdrawn and the Cleopatra came to Colon
in order to cable to the admiral in command
of the British fleet at Jamaica for instruc-
tons.
Shortly afterward the Cleopatra began
coaling, and as soon as she received an an
swer to the cable message sent to Jamaica
the Warshlp hurriediy got up steam and put
to sea again. returning to Bluefields.
The report regarding the Cleopatra is
regarded with keen interest in Washington
although so far this government has taken
no step beyond keeping informed of the
progress of events through reports from Mr.
Juan Del Norte.
The point involved in the present Dispute
is not new, but because of the fact thar
Bluefelds, only sixty miles distant from
Nicaragua canal, occupies a location of
great strategic Importance toward that pro-
tect, 1T may be that the United States will
become involved in the dispute in the future
Certainly this is likely to be the case if the
British go beyond the point of asserting a
protectorate and seek TO secure possession
of the place.
When the British government relinquished
to Nicaragua and Honduras her protectorate
over the Mosquito country by the treaty of
1860. 1t was with condition that the Mos
quito Indians should be permitted to MAIN
tain their own government. Under color of
this article the British in times past have
interviewed between the Indians and Mica
ragua.
But the United States government has al
ways insisted that the British had absolute
iy lost all claims to a protectorate and that
Nicaragua held absolute sovereignty over
the Mosquito country. In recent years the
native Mosquito population at RIuehelds
has practically disappeared and the town
has fallen into the hands of Jamaica ne
groes and other British subjects. who have
directed the government and established
British forms of law. The Nicara qua gov
eminent has been DESTROYS of asserting its
sovereignty over the place, and 1t was prob
ably an attempt of this kind that caused
the landing of the British troops

THOUSANDS sr PACKAGES
Seeds Distributed by Wholesale by
the Agricultural Department..

The annual distribution of seeds by the
Department of Agriculture in response to
personal applications has been discontinued
Tor the present season. and hereafter dis
trlbution will be made at the direction of
the congressman who still have -.ertan
quantities to their account
The department this year provided for
more than 9,oO0O0 packages of seeds, two
tnlrds OF which are the quota for Congress-
men, only one-third being sent out indie
pendently by the department. The amount
or seeds provided for distribution this year
is said at the department to be 30 per cent
greater than last year
Inc increase the department officials say,
is due to the fact that the person who bad
the charge of buying the seeds has practi-
cal knowledge of the business, and TO the
hard times, which makes a government OBJ
hgatlon promptly acceptable.
me congressman have profited by this,
Tor they received 5000 packages of. or
otnary seed and LOO packages of clover
seed, and if they sent in their order before
the 10Th of February, they are entitled to
an additional 2,Un packages.
secretary Morton offered the Congress
men this extra amount, which was taken
out OF the departments quota with a view
TO getting orders i'm early, as he realized
that If the seeds were not distributed at
the beginning Of the season they were
generally useless for all practical pur-
poses

Cable Dispatch to the New York Sun.
All the transatlantic steamship companies
have decided to adopt the policy of booming
second-cabin travel on their lines 1t is af-
firmed that Americans are beginning to
adopt the European custom Of travelling
second class. 1t is also hoped to induce
many European tourists of moderate means
to visit America. 1t is believed that the
number patroniZing the first cabins would
be unaffected. All the lines, therefore. are
increasing their second cabin capacity and
attractions for the coming season. The in
ducement offered to Americans will be in
the shape of a declaration that it will be
cheaper to take vacation in Europe than
to stay at home. 1t is settled that there
will be no change in the fares of any class
