Kicked to Death BY a Fact.

Senator William P. Frye was
once talking to the celebrated nat
urslitst, Agassiz, of his fishing ex-
periences +" Among my triumphs, {"
said he, twas the capture of a
speckled trout that weighed fully
eight pounds" DR.. Agassiz smiled
and said:-"Reserve that for rod
and reed celebrants, but spare the
feelings of a sober scientist" Frye
insisted that he was not exagger-
ating, but Agassiz refused to be
gulled. "My dear Mr.. Frye" he
said, permit me to inform you
that SaIUGlinus .fomtimGlis never
attains that extraordinary weight.
The creature you caught could not
have been a speckled trout. All
the authorities on ichthyology
would disprove your claim" "All
L can say to that" replied Senator
Frye. sis that there are, then, big
ger fish in Maine than are dreamed
of in your noble science"
The next season, while fishing in
the Maine wood, Frye caught a
handsome speokled trout that
weighed nine pounds. and sent it
to DIR. Agassiz. A few days later
he tramped to the station where he
found an epigrammatio message
awaiting him from the great scien-
tist, which read: "The science of
a lifetime kicked to death by a
fact. Agassiz."

ECONOMY in EARNING.

In the early days farmers could
we'll afford to be wasteful of their
land, for it was cheap and there was
plenty of it. Conditions are en-
tirely different now, and the high
priced land on which the young
farmer has to make his living re-
quires some study and careful cal
culation to secure the same pro-
portion of profit that his father
made. The twentieth century farm
eF, however, has the advantage of
his fathers experience plus tn ;
knowledge he may have acquired
from book written by men who are
specialists in certain lines of agri-
culture, and from the valuable ex-
periments made by the agriculture
al colleges. In short, farming of
today has become a combination
of Drawn, success depending rather
more on the ability to sthink right
than to perform the actual manual
labor.

Self Reliance.

Self reliance is essential to a
stable and strong character. 1t is
our only safe dependence for cen-
sistency of conduct AS we must
answer for ourselves we must act
for ourselves and therefore. must
decide at least on our own judg-
ment.
To take council of others "a wise.
The conceited man who seeks no
advice, needs no warning or di-
recting voice. thinks that he is
wiser than ten men who can rem
der a reason; such a man displays
unrelieved folly. He is deserving
of no sympathy in the day of his
trouble. The wise man has friends.
seeks their advice, and carefully
weighs their words, but having
done this he at last decides for
himself. He must rely on his own
judgment.
Self reliance is necessary to
peace of mind. We are often
placed whore we cannot depend on
others. There may be no friend at
hand with whom we can advise.
Or if there is he may not have the
knowledge necessary to make him
q same counselor; or his relations
to us or to the subject on which
We may ask advice may such as to
influence his judgment. The de-
cision must be made, and we must
make it at once Unless we have
learned some self-confidence we
will be thrown into distress But
if we have learned this we can
calmly face the situation and de-
termine our course.
This will not save us from mis-.
takes. No course of conduct can
do that. ITO err is human"
No man is infallible and no null
titude of counsellors can give i'm
munity from mistakes. The man
who thinks by any kind of device
to reach this high state will be dis
appointed. But the best security
against errors is a well-trained, self
reliant, well-poised mind which
calmly acts after full deliberation
and such counsel as can be had,
and then oheerfully accepts the
consequences
We must carefully distinguish
between self reliance and conceit.
The one is rational, modest, calm
reasonable; the other unfounded,
obstrusive, offensive and reckless.
The one commands respect, and
the other provokes disgust. The
one is the mark of a sound mind,
the other to DO feared.
In Christian the foundation of
self reliance Is calm and unshak-
en- confidence to God. He trusts
in God in all things, has commit
ted his ways to the guidance of the
father above, and with a sincere
heart, anxious to do the Masters
will, he feels that he is safe. He
believes God will guide and protect
him. When he does his best, acts
in the most prudent and enlight-
ened manner, he has the assurance
that all will be we'll. Hence in the
fear of q ID he decides and awaits
in conf 'ence the result. He is
self conf lent because be believes
that God helps those who help
themselves-because G 1d calls on
him to choose. and act, and will
sustain him in doing SO.
