BUSINESS HABITS.

The man of business habits will be
almost certain to achieve success in
the business enterprise. in which he
may be engaged. The more closely
he can approach to a regular and sys-
tematIc method Of governing his af-
falrs, the more surely will he be able
to shape his business destiny. It is
certainly easier for some persons to
conform to methods which develop
into clockWork habits, but few per-
sons are naturally SO constituted that
they are exempt from learning the
lessons which experience teaches by
costly methods. The habits of pru-
dence, industry, self-denial, and fru-
gality are not learned in a day, but
only result from the formation of good
and strong resolutions, evolved from
the intricacies of reflection. OF all
habits, those needed in the pursuit of
business are the most difficult to ac-
affable, genial, attentive, watchful, in
dustrious, cautious, frugal, and be
ready and willing at all times to adapt
himself to the opportunities for ad-
Vancement which may happen in his
way. In business affairs sentiment
gets but scanty consideration-the sur
vival of the fttest is a truism which
is f1ttingly applied, and it is rarely APP
piled to the individual who is lacking
in the qualities above mentioned. The
true business man makes as many
friends and as few enemies as possible.
He early learns to realize that the
display of little attention to his Gus
toners is appreciated, and that bow,
smile, and an obliging expression
will go long way toward peopling
his store with customers. Pleasant
habits are as easily acquired as I'M
pleasant ones, and the results to be
obtained from their use are so prolific
in personal benefits that no excuse
can be allowed for the churl who feels
that all the world owes him and he
owes nothing. The world owes us all
that we can get out of it by honest and
tactful means.

London, Dec. 1.-THE war office has
received the following dispatch from
Gen. Methuen dated Tuesday, Deem
Der 70:
Our artillery shelled a very strong
position held, by the enemy in long,
high kopje from until dusk Sunday.
1t rained hard last night. The High
land brigade attacked at daybreak on
Monday the south end of the kopje.
The attack was properly timed, but
failed. The guards were ordered to
protect the Highlands right and rear.
The cavalry and mounted infantry,
with howitzer battery, attacked the en-
envy on the left and the guards on the
right, supported by field artillery and
howitzer artillery. They shelled the
position from daybreak, and at Ills l
sent the Gordons to support the High
lands brigade. The troops held their
own in front of the enemy's entrench-
ments until dusk, the position extend
ing, including the kopje, for a distance
of six miles towards the Modder river.
Today I am holding my position and
entrenching myself. l had to face at
least 10000. Our loss was great
Each important battle seems to
bring worse reverses for the British.
The papers sorrowfully admit that
Lord Methuen's check at Magersfontein
is the most serious event the war has
yet produced The position Methuen
assaulted is described as in a range
which terminates on the east with an
abrupt saddle rock, $50 feet high. BOer
entertainments run around the front.
It is estimated Methuen's forces
amounted to 1000 men, perhaps more.
No reliable estimate of his losses are
yet received. They are believed to
have been at least $50.
Will Methuen Now Retire?
London, Dec 14.-All papers COM
ment upon the extreme gravity of the
situation and upon the momentous de-
cision Methuen now has to take
whether to remain at Modder river or
to retire on Orange river. The Times
says: cat least 10000 additional men
must be sent out The entire avail
able reserve must be called up, and
militia volunteers turned to account.
Efforts must be made to increase the
local colonial forces, and farther Of
fers of troops from Canada and other
colonies must be sought and accepted"
All eyes are now turned hopefully to
Gen. Butler, who, taking into account
the troops with Gen. White at Lady
smith, has altogether 10000 men. A
dispatch from boer sources says Kim

clude the visitor. If you cannot at that
time invite your friends guest to your
dinner or luncheon it would be better
to defer your invitation to your friend
until time when she has no one with
her. You may request an invitation
for a dance for stranger in town, for
a young relative, or for young man
who dances whose acquaintance you
know would be agreeable to the pro
spective hostess. For card-parties,
luncheOns and dinners you can never
request an invitation, even for a guest
staying in your house. You can only
let your hostess know that you have a
visitor, thus leaving her free to do
what seems best to her. You are at
liberty to take your guest to an after
noon tea, to large evening reception
or to any affair to which the number
of guests is evidently unlimited, with
out previously notifying your hostess.
