An observing person has said of busI-

f~orty-seven per cent. make q living, and
three per cent. make q success of life.
There are various reasons for this. Men
often embark In q business for which they
have neither practical training nor natural
ability: they display an Indifference To
proper business methods that Is unworthy
of success; they have no ambition to
push, and manifest no degree of ''stick.

What Grant Liked.

A story was recently published of
General Grant, which was told by Paul
Cores of Chicago:
ST was steward at the Palmer House."
he said, when the ex-President stopped
there on his return from the tour of the
world. One noon l was all but stupsfisd
at seeing Gen. Grant creep in the kitchen
door, as though escaping from some one.
I am sorry to trouble you,' he said, as
though asking a great favor, but may 1
have a little corned beef and cabbage?'
Why, certainly l replied. But shall l
not send it to you in the dining roomP'
No. he answered, 'I'll eat it right here
if you let me sit at the table, So l
cleared away a space or the rou gh board
table, drew up q stool, and the way he
got away with that corned beef and cab
bage made my eyes bulge. When he had
finished he laid down his knife and fork
with a funny sigh of satisfaction, put ono
hand on my shoulder and said: Young
man, 1 suppose you don't care for that
at all, but If you had to eat what l have
for the past few months it would taste
like a dinner for the gods.' The poor
old fellow had dined with everybody
from the queen down, and that cabbage
in my kitchen did him more good than
all the rest together"

How to Open q Knife.

Jimmy could not get the blade of his
new knife open. He had tried until the
nails of both his thumbs we're broken,
and then be had worked with q SCREW.
driver and a spike, but he couldn't start
the stiff spring.
"Guess you never heard about opening
a knife with your handkerchief ?" said
Uncle Nat good naturally.
"With a handkerchief ?"
Eyes, with a handkerchief. When l
was a boy, that is the way we always
did, but the boys of to-day seem to have
forgotten the trick"
Uncle Nat put on his spectacles, drew
out his handkerchief and wound it about
Jimmy's knife, blade and all. He did it
slowly, SO that 1t would be tight.
Jimmy looked OF wonderingly. When
the winding was finished, Uncle Nat
held the free corner OF the handkerchief
firmly between his thumb and finger and
gave the knife a sharp hitch and throw.
or course the handkerchief unrolled
rapidly, and when the knife flow out the
blade was open.
"There !" said Unole Nat. Easy
enough, isn't it ?"
And Jimmy was able to do the same
thing at the fl rst trial, and after that he
wasn't troubled with q blade that stuck.

Courtesy of Children to Servants

The servant question is a veritable ka-
leidosoope, says Alice Hamilton Rich, In
the CongregationGlist. Shake 1t up and it
forms and reforms with each shaking in
to new combina tions. But l believe there
is a key to this problem to be used by
both mistress and maid, its name being,
"Put yourself In my place"
Often the house of the employer is the
only home of the servant girl. If in that
household she is counted out, she is In.
deed homeless.
There are two reasons why children
should be taught to be courteous to serv-
ants. 1t is due the servants, and the lack
of such courtesy is unladylike aud IN
gentlemanly on the part of the children.
1t is as harmful to the latter as unjust
and unkihd to the former. II I had only
the thought Of the good of my children in
mind. 1 would see that they treated the
servants not only with deserved courtesy
but with kindness as we'll.
An incident which car to my knowl-
edge is in point. Ia a household where
the key mentioned is in use there is a
daughter of thirteen. She has been
taught, and her own sweet nature is in
harmony with the teaching, that the serv-
ants are a part OF the family-sntitled to
thanks for service and the utmost consid-
GRAFTON as to their nights in their own
domains, the kitchen and dining room.
The daughter, however, is a welcome
visitor in the kitchen, and can "fuss''
over the stove making candy, as girls lik c
to do, to her hearts content. This
daughter is always treated with the ut
most respect by the servants, without un
due familiarity, while there is a spirit Of
mutual helpfulness between them.
Not long ago this young girl came to
her mother, saying: mamma, Hilms
has never been to the public library. May
l go with her next Thursday and take hel
through the buildine?" The mother
gladly ~assented, and as there would be
too short a time to see so much, the din.
ner hour changed from night to noon
that Hilma might have a longer time
and the dear girl took as much pains for
the housemaid as she would have done
for an honored guest. Do you wonder
that the grateful maid, in her broken
English said: 81 am SO glad that Miss
Dorothy would go with me-" and the en-
phasis upon the words would" and "me'
expressed her appreciation of the oour-
tesy.
We often hear it said, 81 cannot keep
my servant, she does not like children"
May it not be that it is as much the fault
of the children as of the servant?

Tours to the south via Pennsylvania
Railroad.

Two very attractive early autumn tours
will be run by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, leaving New York and Phila-
delphia, September 2S and October 10.
1t is hardly necessary to say that these
outings are planned with the utmost
care, and that all arrangements are ad.
justed SO as to afford the best possible
means of visiting each place to the best
advantage.
The tours each cover a period of eleven
days and include the battlefield of Get
tysburg, picturesque Blue Mountain,
Luray Caverns, the Natural Bridge, Vir-
ginia Hot Springs, the cities Of Rich
mond and a%shington, and Mt. Vernon.
The round-t trip rate, including all nec-
essary expenses, is $65 from New York,
$63 from Philadelphia, and proportionate
rates from other points.
Each our will be In charge Of one OF
the compsny's Tourist Agents. He will
be assisted by 81 experienced lady as
Chaperon, whose especial charge will be
ladies unaccompanied by male escoit.
Special trains of parlor cars are pro-
vided for the exclusive use Of each party,
in which the entire round trip from New
York is made.

That Boy in Your Home.

Does your boy show an inclination to

periodical you can procure, even though
you have to strain q point on something
else to obtain the necessary subscription
price. He is bound to get reading some
where, and II you do not provide 1t the
chances are that he will surreptitiously
borrow trashy papers from some neigh
boris boy.
You do not want him to grow up with
a taste for stage robbIng and piracy, and
a periodical or two and other home at
fractions will be a small price t pay for
guiding him past such shoals.
Encourage your children to bring their
plsymates home occasionally, and give
them time and assist them In having
pleasant social gatherings. 1t may be q
little bother. but It will enable you to
keep on q more familiar footing with
them, and to know their associates.
In short, enter into their interests and
convince them that home Is the pleasant.

think your children do not care for such
things, but they do. Beauty Is q prime
factor in every child's life, and it goes q
long way toward strengthening the homo
ties.
If possible, have a strawberry bed, and
a row or two of ourrant bushes, and some

Do not let your mind dwell too much

ucation your means will allow.
