Perspective.

To get a correct drawing o. a land
scape, or OF other objects, in the right
perspective, hold pane Of glass over
the drawing paper, which must lie on
the table. or be fastened 10 the draw

Hold the glass in a slanting way so
that the lower edge OF the pare rests
on the table or ordinary board, while
the other edge slants toward You so
that It Is close to your chin.
Looking perpendicularly down on the
paper through the pane OF glass, you
will see the landscape or other object
reflected in the glass and it will be
easy TO draw the outlines Of your OBJ

SEA BIRDS AND STORMS.

While wild duck have been unusual
ly forward this year, il is equally true
that most of the sea birds nesting
along the coast have been peculiarly
backward. There has also been a
good deal of infant mortality am~ng
those kinds that have the habit of
leading their young To the sea rs soon
as they are hatched. If the seas are
heavy when this occurs numbers OF
them still feeble in their power Of
swimming are overwhelmed and
thrown on the shore with n fatal vio-
lcnce. Their loss will not bc regret
ted by the sea fishermen, who have
been complaining more than little OF
late years Of the injury to fishing done
by the immense numbers of some
kinds. such as the shag, that are en-.
tirely fish eaters.-Country Life.

PULLETS OR HENS?

A subscriber asks If pullets will give
better results as winter layers than
hens
This depends on the age and condi-
ton Of the pullets. Early hatched.
fully matured pullets that begin 10
lay during October will make the best
layers during the winter, while on the
other hand late pullets or poorly con-
ditioned pullets will hardly pay for
their keeping. Hens not over three
years old, which have been given good
care and have completed their moult,
will begin to lay during October and
continue throughout the winter. We
should not discard good old hens until
after the third year. unless they show
a tendency to grow fat and lazy, but
If we were selecting layers we Should
choose pullets.-Home and Farm.

WEALTH AND REcTlTuDE.

Tipping off the secret of success to
readers of Sunday papers seem to have
become a fad with a number of our
multi-milliona1res But so far none of
them have seen fit to go into details
and relate such of their experiences as
had real cash value.
We all understand the Importance OF
application in the prosecution OF busl-
ness. and are of one mind that bad
habits interfere with the development
of our energies. 1t has not escaped us
that square dealing is an attractive prln-
ciple or that honesty is good policy.
In other words, the race in general is
not at the mercy of few successful
money getters in the matter OF knoWl-
edge essential to the acquisition OF
fortune by legitimate means.
This remembered, it is tritie irrita-
ting to have an ex-cash boy display
fortune to our gaze and piously remark
that he got it by being good, and that
we can do as we'll if we will only be as
good as he has been. These stories of
hustling kids laying the foundation OF
colossal fortunes with So week sala-
ries are losing in interest. Their same
ness is telling upon them.
There is no danger of any one forget
ting that a majority of our merchant
princes and noted fnanciers started at
the bottom of the ladder, for they may
be trusted to keep it before the world
that they are wonders in their respec-
tive lines. 1t is not so certain, how
ever, that the world at large will ever
know what figure opportunity cut in
their success, for that is one thing they
do not tell for publication-the one in
structive and interesting thing in THEN
careers.
We have had enough of tales of for
tunes built up on So a week and added
to by precept. What we would like tc
have now is the truth about what con
tributed most to their accumulation
the facts with regards to the opportu
mites seized in their acquisition, ant
the details with regard to the methods
employed in their retention. These
furnished, we will be in better position
to Judge of the relation wealth bears tx
rectitude in these modern times.
