REINFORCE YOURSELF.
We Should BE Ever ON the Watch
for Means of Increasing Our
Creative Power.

The great secret of success lies in
ones ability to reinforce himself. We
should be constantly on the watch for
ways and means of supplementing our.
selves, Of increasing, in every way
possible, our power of usefulness and
worthy achievement.
For example, every time we depart
from truth, even in the slightest de-
gree, every time we attempt to take
advantage of another, to overreach by
"snlartness'' or -headedness, we
deplete our moral strength, our pow
er to do noble work. There is dead
ly reaction on every ignoble deed; it is
boomerang which ultimately kills
the thrower, says Success.
Most of us are constantly doing
things which, though not actually
wrong, tend to weaken, rather than
to reinforce or strengthen us. Our
great study should be not to allow our
energies to run to waste through mega
tive or harmful actions, but to reen-
force ourselves continually by positive
activity in the right direction.
The man who sticks to the truth,
who always does the manly, noble
thing, however it may affect himself,
will find the reaction upon his own
character has been salutary. He will
find himself reinforced tenfold for
the great battle of life.

PRESENT DAY READING.
Modern Novel on the Parlor
Table.

The value of educa tional courses in
literature is not to be disputed. Our
earliest recollection of the poem of
red schoolhouse at country crossroad,
where the children from the tiniest to
the tallest used to recite in unison those
portions of the poem descriptive of
Hiawatha's childhood, the musical
hum and rhythm of their voices SEEM
ingly in accord with the drowsy insect
choir outside the open windows. 1t
is not in the school alone however,
but in the home, and the seeds of lit
erary taste and knowledge must be
sown to bear fruit in lifelong ac-
quaintance, ripening to friendship and
familiarity, with the great minds OF
literature. Fortunate. indeed is that
boy or girl who is introduced to Little
Nell, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby,
Copperfield, Boffin, Peggoty and Ham
and Little Em'ly-yes, even Steerforth
and the Artful Dodger and Bill Sykes
almost at the mothers knee. All
children like to be read to. 1t is one
of the favorite entertainments of the
normal child with healthy mind, says
the Rochester Herald. 1t is much
easier thus to guide the mind of the
child in the paths that lead to the
great and good in literature than it is
for the child to find its way alone or
even with the aid of the college cnrDic-
ulum. Lessons are such compulsory
things!
! The multiplicity of new novels and
romances of ephemeral popularity is
another of the contributive causes of
the unfamiliarity of youthful readers
| with standard works. They haven't
time to read both--who hase-and the
older writer's are neglected for the
modern. On the shelves of compare
lively modest libraries will be found
| the works of Dickens, Thackeray,
Scott, Bulwer and other established
masters. They are usually in hand
some editions, they look very attrac-
tive and adorn the shelves; but on eN-
animation they will be found quite as
| fresh and new in appearance as when
they came from the press of the pub
Usher; while on the library table will
| DC found the latest novel, seen at a
glance to have been read by every
member of the family.
People buy the standard works and
would not be without them in their
libraries; but they do not read them !;
and they do not cultivate taste for
them in their children. AS result
of this deplorable neglect and over
sight the child grows to be young
man or young woman, familiar enough
with the strictly modern novel, even
to those published in serial form in
the magazines, but quite ignorant OF
the best English literature until
brought face to face with it in the
fragments provided by the school cur
riculum. These are COINED in much
the same way and in much the same

BUTTER READY FOR SHIPMENT.

the department was flooded with pc
titions for the establishment of
creameries at every little hamlet in
the territories, and with each petit
ton there was brought to bear GER
tain amount Of political pull that it
was hard to withstand. 1t was no
more possible for the department to
have built and equipped all the
creameries that We're demanded than
it would have been possible for them
to have operated them successfully
and protitably if they had been built,
and the attempt to meet the demand
came near proving disastrous to the
the dilemma in which the depart
ment found itself was finally found,
solution SO simple, and yet so prac-
teal, that it turned seeming failure
into immediate success.
The government ceased to build
creameries, but instead attempted
the operation of such as were built
either by stock companies, individ-
uals or municipalities, thus throwing
the burden Of construction upon
those who insisted that their erection
was necessary, and thar their opera
ton would prove profitable. At the
same time the charges FOX iEanufac-
ture and marketing were somewhat
changed.
To-day there are in operation
throughout these territories IS
cre ameries located at Churchbridge,

present time the price realized by
the farmer for all butter manufac-,
tured by the government has ranged
between II and IS cents per pound,
and the difference is paid twice an
nually, the first of November and the
first of May. A small portion of this
comes from the sale of by-products'
with which the farmer is credited,
and which is sold usually to inidvid
uals in the neighborhood of each
creamery.
A market for the butter manufac-
tured in these government creamerics
is found in British Columbia. in the
Kootenay mining district, in the,
Klondike, in the far eastern coun-
tries and to the northwest mounted
police, and is shipped in sealed thus
of one, two and five pounds and in
Australian butter boxes of IA, 90 and
Sc pounds. Around each pound roll
is 4 waXed paper bearing the govern
ment label.
Within the past year the depart-
ment has attempted to find a market
for western Canada eggs. and have
met with considerable success,
though on small scale. An advance
price of ten cents per dozen is paid
the farmers monthly, but an average
price of about II cents per dozen is
being secured. The eggs are shipped
to Calgary and held there in cold
storage warehouses until the current
price warrants their sale.

The Standing of
the National Guard
By LIEUT.. COL. H. R. BRINKERHOFF, U. S. A.

University Chicago

HE. committee on militia affairs of the national
house of representatives have before it several
propositions, emanatng from prominent sources,
for the recognition of the national guard as a
part of the national forces. When the committee
decides finally upon a report, and the meas
tire it favors comes before the house, careful in
quries will doubtless be made upon the linita-
ton OF national legislation on this subject.
This once out OF the way, the question will next
arise whether the national guarl, as at present
constituted, can be taken under national au-
spices, or must be reorganzed OH new lines to
enable such supervision.
What the national guard is to-day, mil
itary body may therefore, be considered per-
