Do you know that a man is quite
well up in the scale Of intelligence
when he recognizes the fact that there
are other people who know fully as
much as he does? 1t shows that he
has been progressive to have advan.
ced thus far. So many start in by
knowing it all. This is the lowest
scale of real Intelligence. After a
while it dawns upon him that there is
some real merit in an idea advanced
by someone else, and one which had
never occurred to him. By and by
he locates other good things outside
OF himself. He gradually broadens.
He will listen to Others talk and cre-
dit them with being in possession Of
Y portion OF the worlds knowledge.
He learns from others. He even
yields opinions of his own. He is get
ting wise. This is wisdom which
comes largely from meeting and
mingling with others. Any organic.
alton which brings men together in
legitimate business, or fraternal rela-
tions is an educator. The more wor-
thy the cause the more wholesome
the knowledge. Fraternity and pro-
lection are grand subjects upon
which to mingle and cooperate.

Not many persons realize the i'm
mense value OF their leisure time, or
despise it because it is so small. Even
two hours every week day means 624
hours every year, or rs days OF eight
hours each. There are numerous ex-
amples Of those who, in the discharge
OF their daily duties, would never have
been heard OF, but have become illus
trious by reason OF the occupation of
their spare time. We may often
bring about grander issues by our
chosen recreation than by our allotted
daily toll. There is at command
treasure We have, perhaps, hardly
learned to estimate; we cannot tell
what may be accomplished by its
means. The choice companionship,
the pleasant ramble, the entertaining
book, the eager and healthy competi-
ton, the quiet study, the earnest class,
the animated debate, the joy OF sue
cessful endeavor, the discoveries of
the fairy page of science, the revela-
tions Of the beautiful world OF art and
all the untold wealth of literature;
such are few Of the charms brought
within our reach by the leisure hour.
We have before us a storehouse OF
wonders, and have simply to choose
which shall be ours. A moments
thought makes it plain that the way
person spends his leisure time must
have great influence ON the forma-
ton OF his character. During this
time he has, broadly speaking, full
freedom to regulate his life according
to his own desires. He is free from
the many influences by which, in our
modern industrial system, with its
necessary features of authority and
obedience, he has his life partly ar
ranged for him by Others. How he
occupies his leisure time then is OBJ
viously OF very great Importance to
him. If he idly allow the valuable
hours to slide by without any effort on
his part to improve himself, he will
almost certainly deteriorate. But if
he have any moral backbone-any
genuine desire to improve himself and
others-he will quickly find that there
is no need to invent or adopt any
methods of merely passing the time
away. His difficulty will be to choose
from among the many useful ways OF
spending leisure time. the best for his
own particular circumstances.

Alvord, the bank teller, who stole
$65O,O0O, was sentenced to Is years in
the penitentiary. The next day
bank clerk who stole only $1700 was
sentenced TO 10 years in the peniten-

word had stolen 100000 he would

Many tests have been made to es-
tablish the claims in favor Of wide
tires as against the narrow ones, and
a few Of the results are given as stated
in bulletin No. IL OF the United States
of agriculture by General
Roy Stone. In Utah, at the expert.
ment station, it was shown that a
given load on Inch tire pulled 40
per cent heavier than went ON s.
inch tire, the test being made at the
state university. An ordinary wagon
with 3-inch tire was loaded with two
long tons, or 1880 pounds. and the
draught measured by dynamometer.
On an ordinary earth road, in good
condition and hard, the draught was
254 pounds. On grass field it was
46S pounds. On a newly ploughed
field it was TIL pounds. As $50 is the
daught OF an ordinary horse Of 1000
pounds, two horses could draw this
load with ease on an ordinary road,
and a ton and one-half on a grass sod,
while with a narrow tire one-half as
much, or a single ton, is a full load
for double team, Besides this, the
broad tires roll and level road, 80
that the more they are used the better
the road becomes, while narrow tires
cut it into ruts, il it is at all soft.
Prof. Sanborn OF the Missouri agricul-
tural college, tried the same expert
ment with wagons having tires Of diff
ferent widths, using Baldwin dyna-
mometer. The weight Of the load
drawn was 1866 pounds each. The
tires were Il inches and 8 inches, res
pectively. The tests were made on
blue grass sod partially moist. The
draught Of the wide tires averaged for
level ground 80 pounds. For the
narrow tires the draught was 439
pounds, 41.6 per cent more than the
wide tire. Assuming the wagon to
weigh 1000 pounds, then on the broad
tire 1898 pounds would be drawn as
easily as 1000 pounds on the narrow
tires. Again the broad wheels in the
trial did not injure the turf, while the
narrow wheels cut through it. In
France every freight and market
wagon is roadmaker. The tires are
from 8 to 10 inches in width, usually
from 4 to 6. With the new four.
wheeled vehicles used the tires are
rarely. less than 6 inches in width, and
the rear axle is about fourteen inches
longer than the fore axle, so that the
rear or hind wheels run about one
inch outside Of the level rolled by the
front wheels. In Germany the rule
prescribes that all the wagons draw
ing heavy loads such as coal, brick,
earth, stone, ETC., must have tires at
least four inches wide. By carefully
noting these regulations, one will see
that in the European countries they
have long ago discarded the narrow
tires, much to the advantage of their
roads and the saving to their horses
and vehicles.
