premonitions. 1t might be said. how
ever. that the fact that 40 per cent. OF
those who wrote to him had telepathic
experiences does not indicate such an
average among the human family. The
three periodicals whose readers he
asked for information have large cir
culation, and it is safe to say that every
reader who had had premonitions of
the death of a friends wrote to Flam-
marion, while the others would not re-
gard it as worth while. This is fault
that can be found with a good proper
ton of psychological statistics, and one
that makes them usually worthless.

It was his exceeding interest in the for

the George movement in the hope that
something might be done by the State

A young man who means to engage
in mercantile life at home may gain a
certain useful preparation by growing
up in a store" or by taking course in
one of the so-called business colleges.
He may thus pick up fair acqua1nt-
ance with counting house methods
banking operations, and the forms or
routine of business. But if he aspires
to be merchant prince or a world
trader he must know something of the
world. A foundation must be laid In
the knowledge of living languages.
Foreign travel or residence must make
him familiar with foreign ideas, Gus
toms and laws. The great importing
houses of New York and Boston were
built up by men who had spent years
in foreign seaports, and who had de-
served and won the respect and conf
dence Of native merchants. They gained
also a direct knowledge of markets, of
the qualities of goods, the best methods
of Transportation, the intricacies of nav
igation laws, the money standards and
the fluctuations Of exchange. They
learned business from inside. But their
success deeepended largely, as all sue
cess must, on personal qualities gained
in the school Of experience. Without
temperate habits, a well-ordered physi-
cal life, fine sense of honor, and the
rectitude which deals uprightly and
downrightly with all sorts of men, their
affairs would have gone to wreck. The
young man who is seeking sound bus
mess education must make up his mind
'sto follow disciplined course of life,
to wait patiently while working hard,
to begin modestly before rising high"
to eschew the pleasant indulgences
which waste time, strength and money,
and to take his place in the world OF
men, not as rival and bully, but as
a comrade and co-worker.

The boarding house per Sc is always

Of the attempt to mix dozen or more

these things endurable in family life.
The landlady is called upon to do a
dozen things at once and cannot give
her attention to any one thing long
enough to see that it is done well. The
consequence is that there is no dainti-
