He Had q Philos0phic Method Of Turn.
ing This Lack to His Own
Account.

Zone of the things that have been most
helpful to me in the course of my life, said
Mr.. Clumsyby, "has been my lack Of tact.
This may seem like a contradiction, but it il
really very simple.
81 have always fancied that could attend
to business for other people all right, but
never had any tact about my own; that is,
about my personal relations with people; /
always bungle them whenever l attempt to
do anything. Thus, if have a misunder-
standing or difference with anybody about
anything and / set about Strengthening it
out, l can't possibly do it except in one way;
l have to go at i. flat-footed; haven't any
more diplomacy than stone image. And,
moreover, besides being clumsy about it,
am pretty sure to say too much; to say
things that 1T isn't necessary to say. In
other words, haven't any tact at all.
"And at first this was great drawback to
me. But after awhile l made discovery;
that if didn't exercise my tact shouldn't
make any mistakes by it, and, following that
course for time, came to realization of
the fact that there's great lot of things
that we run up against in life which may
be irritating at the time, that are, however,
not worth squabbling over at all, whether
mans got tact or not, and ! was sure to
anything about them, why, don't try; I
simply let 'em go!
"And that's what I've been doing now for
years, not bothering about every little trif1e,
but letting the little things 60, and not both
ering about 'em at all; paying no attention
to them whatsoever. And so l have been
enabled to preserve my equanimity and
avoid all useless wear and tear; and thus my
lack OF tact has finally proved most helpful
to me. q
But have to keep a watch all the time"

Mary Wa. q Mineralosi.t.

"A teacher in one of the local schools was
instructing a class of small children in min
eralogy the other day, endeavoring to make
clear to their young minds what. a mineral
really is. Standing before them, she began
in her clear voice: "a mineral is an inor-
ganic, homogeneous substance of definite,
or approximately definite, chemical compo-
sition found in nature Do you understand
me? Come now, you have all seen minerals.
And your mothers and fathers have told
you the names of them, haven't they? Of
course, they have. Now, can any one of
you tell me the names of three minerals?"
There was no response, and she continued:
Have not some Of you been out and seen
minerals on exhibition One little girl
raised her hand. 81 thought so. Mary will
rame three minerals" Mary arose, and,
putting her hands behind her, lisped:

Sugar Beet Facts.

According to Secretary Wilson 1900
factories will be engaged IL he manu-
facture of sugar during 1898 in the
United States. 1t is asserted by the
same authority that at least 10000 acres
will be planted in bse.s during the
season Of 1898. Then it is expected
that the yield of beets will be $4,000
tons and of sugar about lS0,000,000
pounds. The percentage of the sugar
produced in the United States during
1897 to the total consumption was only
p but the prospects are that in 1898
it will be nearly per cent of the total
imports, which now amount to- about
1000, coo tons annually.
Wien it is remembered that more
than 1,373,000,000 pounds of sugar,
costing something more than S24, 000,-

The G. A. kR. Recruitssfor the War.
A Madison dispatch of last THURSDAY
gives out the information that Depart
ment Commander E. B. Gray, of the G..
A. r, issued circular to the posts in
Wisconsin, asking each veteran to select
several young men of his acquaintance
for enlistment in case troops are callesi
for by the president. His action was
caused by letter from Gen. Daniel
Butterwortb of New York. The plan is
for each veteran to carefully pick sew
eral men, who have the making of good
soldiers, and prepare them for enlist
ment by drill and instruction. By this
means it is expected that several thous.
and picked men, between nineteen and
forty five years old can be secured. No
veterans Of the rebellion are to enlist.
but each veteran is 10 be- sponsor for the
character and physical qualities of the
men he offers. The first recruit taken
under the plan was Orson A. Stillmsn,
OF Lodi, a son of veteran. The circu-
lar requests that every post report to
Com mander Gray, as soon as possible,
the number of men it can furnish.
