THE BUSINESS CLERGYMAN.

A young man, some years ago, paid his own way through a New England college and a divinity school, and paid his wife's way through college by sell ing clothing at odd times for large Philadelphia concern. He had known nothing of tailoring previously and the agency he founded went to pieces soon after he left it. While he was still at college, alternating the tape-measure with the lexicon, personal friend spoke to an elderly preacher concern ing him.
 Its too bad" he said. "The mans spelling a good business man to make a poor preacher.
 The old minister shook his head vigorously.
 You're wrong" was his answer. Lack of business ability is responsi- ble for most of the potential successes and actual failures in the ministry and there are many of them. know" he added pathetically, flor I'm one of them myself.' Without, regard to the particular church which man serves, it will probably be admitted that sound busi ness sense is likely to be the founda ton of his practical success and thai lack of it will be a stumbling block -Leslies Monthly.

SIGN or THE PATCH.

Mrs. Murray had advertised for q skilled gardener to work by the day in her yard, and somewhat to her emibar- rassement she was obliged to ch "ose be- tween two applicants who appeared at the same moment. As she stood on her doorstep, questioning first one and then the other, she became aware that her mother-in-law, seated on the porch short distance from the men and di- rectly behind them, was frantically ges- ticulating.
 The old lady, satisfied at last that she had attracted her daughter-in- laws attention, pointed unmistakab1y towards the less prepossessing of the two men; and the younger woman, supposing that her relative had some personal knowledge of the applicant, promptly engaged him.
 Has that man ever worked for you, mother?' asked Mrs Murray, when the two women were alone.
 "No,'' replied the old lady, 'T never saw or heard of either of 'em until now.'
 ''Then why in the world did you choose the shorter man? The other had much better face."
 "Facem retorted the old lady brisk ly. "When you pick out a man to work in the garden you want to go by his overalls. If they're patched on the knees you want him. If the patch is on the seat, you don't."-Philadel- phia Telegram.

In justice to the Chicago board of education, we must call attention to the repeal of the so-called 'Venus rule'' that was promulgated some time ago for guidance in the selection of teachers in the public schools, says an exchange. New applicants among the women who applied for employment as teachers were required to conform to certain standards Of physical sym metry, like those set forth on Che weighing machines, to which no one ever conforms. With all due respect to the original genius that evolved the rule at Chicago, we have never been able to see any necessary connection between woman teachers efficiency in the classroom and her physical ex- cellencies or defects, so long as she has energy enough to get through with the work. Patience, good nature and motherly instinct enough to appreciate a young child's mental state are quail ties that are as likely to be associated with superfuous flesh or too short stature as with the ideal of Greek sculpture. It is to be hoped that the Chicago experiment will be generally regarded as conclusive.

The import duty on suit of clothes for Chinese coolie at Vladivostok is about 2 rubies. Every ten days or so throughout the open season a steam CT brings 300 or more Chinese coolies to Vladfvostok. On one occasion a mer- chant came bysthe steamer and gave to each man n suit of new clothes, even to moccasins, to wear while go- ing on shore. He promised each man 10 kopecks If they went straightway to place named and gave up the suits there. The Chinamen were delighted to oblige. The authorities made no ob- jection to the men landing. Such well dressed, clean looking coolies had never come to the port before. Not a single Chinaman failed to return his clothes as new into store, and the Rus sian customs was deprived of some fifty pounds.

SEE WHAT YOU LOST.

Look back over the day and see where your energy has gone. See how much of it has leaked away from you in trifles. Perhaps you have wasted it in fits of fuming, fretting, 'grumbling. fault-finding or in little fric tions that have accomplished nothing, but merely rasped your nerves, made you irritable, crippled you, and left you exhausted. You may have drained off more nerve and brain force in D burst of passion than you have ex pended in doing your real work Per- haps you did not realize that, i'll going through your place of business like a mad bull through a china shop, you pulled out every spigot and turned OF every faucet of your mental and physi- cal reservoir, and left them open until all the energy you had stored up dur ing the night had run off. Look back and see whether your scolding, fault finding, criticising, nagging and what you call reading the riot act'' to your employees. has helped you in any way or accomplished anything. No; you only lost your energy and self control, your self respect, and the respect and admiration of your employees. Swett Warden in Success.

A republican spellbinder was soar ing aloft at a rally over in Seymour a few evenings ago, when practical wage-worker interrupted him with, "Tell us why four is so high now?" Because wheat is, so scarce replied the spellbinder. .'Then how does it happen that American flour is selling across the water at $5.50 barrel and costs us $7.50 barreI?" persisted the wage-worker. The spellbinder, after the applause of the audience follow ing the wage-worker's bullseye shot had subsided, wandered off into a long word-picture of how much wages are advanced by the tariff, so that the laboring people had more money to buy the $7.5O four with; but the audi ence knew better than that and the spellbinder's spell was broken.

Now the mud is beginning to fly. The republicans, seeing from the signs of the times that they are not going to have the walkover they expected, have started in to abuse the democratic candidates. The latest story is one in which it is said Candidate Robertson. refused to vote for Bryan and Sewall The democrats answer this by saying the republican gubernatorial candidate on certain occasion said that 90 cents day was enough for any work man. Speaking on this question, the Hartford Times says that it has made no effort to utilize or exploit any or the material which has been available in regard to the record of the republi- can candidate for governor, and will not permit itself to be charged with making a personal warfare on any man. But it has duty to perform to it's party, and when democratic candi> dates are made the object of such at. tacks as that published in the Courant to-day, the situation threatens to be- come an uncomfortable one for all con, cerned. It would certainly give us no pleasure to publish the proof that Henry Roberts said in the presence of reputable witnesses that go cents 8 day was enough pay for any working man, or words to that effect. But, if MT Roberts did make this statement, the proof can probably be produced. All of which means that because the Hon Henry Roberts is threatened with the loss of a thousand republican votes, more or less, in Hartford, and severai thousand republican votes in other cities and towns of the state, there fore, as desperate expedient, an at. tempt is to be made to induce the voters who favored MT Bryan and free silver to vote against Judge Robertson and to help elect Henry Roberts to the goyernorship.

 Albert J. Pitkin was not appren- ticed because of any disinclination on his part to study, but simply be- cause his father, Presbyterian min ister with charge now in one town and now in another, could not afford to send his boy through college, al- though he desired to do so. Noting his love for mechanics, he did the next best thing, and apprenticed him to the machinists' trade. When he
 was twelve years old, he was sent to live with his grandfather. in Gran
 vile, Ohio, who owned and operated a cabinet shop. This the boy haunted; it. became his play ground. With remarkable clese4n..
 he made, out of wood, machinery that would perform different kinds Of work. Once, with spinning wheel,
 which he found in an attic, as the
 principal pulley, and with coarse
 string for belts, he devised a ma
 chine by means of which he sawed
 wood Because of his ingenuity there sprang up, between grandfather and grandson, an almost chummy friendship He gained his character istic sobriety and serious considera- fion of things through constant asso-
 citation with his grandfather-who l first taught his how to use chisel and a mallet, how to drive nail l through narrow piece of wood with out cracking 1t, and how to sandpaper 1 and rub down n cabinet to make ready for vanishing. When he was only fourteen years old he had master ed the constructive details of the port 1 able engine of the shop. He could
 also run the turning lathe and other 1 machines. One day, while on a visit l to Newark, Ohio, he went through a
 machine shop. He had never before seen metal being manufactured into
 machinery. The rasping and harsh l noises of it's cutting were music to 1 his ear From that time forth the l cabinet shop was barren of attraction and the dreams his grandfather may have entertained of some day taking
 him into partnership disappeared as l quickly as shavings in furnace He 1 determined to become q machinist l to learn how to design machinery 1 and how to become eminent as an en l gineer.
 l He began as an apprentice at sixty
 cents day in the Webster. Camu and
 Lane Machine Company's shors, chip ping castings with hand tools, sEd
 ended by assisting in setting up sta
 tionary engines in neighboring villa
 ges, and, on the expiration of his time was engaged at two dollars and twen l ty-five cents day.

CLEANLINESS IS GOOD HEALTH.
Daily Baths are as Much a Necessity 4- as Clean Food and Thoughts. X

Daily Baths are as Much a Necessity \ as Clean Food and Thoughts. X
 v Women ought to be continually inn
 pressed with the fact that cleanliness is health if it is praciced internally
 as well as externally. Clean drinking
 water, clean food and clean thoughts
 are quite as necessary as clean linen.
 There are still women who are afraid
 to bathe when they do not feel well,
 although they know that in ill-health
 the pores should be kept wide open.
 The daily bath, sponge or shower,
 taking in the morning, is the best pre-
 yentive of colds any woman can ind,
 and many are devoted to it in warm
 weather. Is there any reason why
 skin can bear neglect at one season
 better than another? If weekly
 bath is enough in winter, why does
 anybody take daily ones in summer!
 Because they feel better was often answered. They do feel better be-
 cause they are conforming to the laws of health.
 Very often the hair is seen dull, with oily accumulations and flaked with dandruff, and the ends can he cut off. A monthly shampoo will rem edy all this and that is possible to every woman. Compilations are i'm proving; that every woman must have noticed They show the benefits of I fresh air and sunshine. Teeth, too 1 have reached better stage.
 Many women have time upon their hands and do not take good care of l themselves. Usually, they show need of improvement and an utter indiffer- ence to personal defects. Think of be ing puzzled to spend time when there l is so much to read, to learn, so many i pleasant enjoyments for spare hours l Every woman has some one talent | and taste she might cultivate If she ] has time, and there are many pleasant courtesies of life to practice.
