A CarnatiOn Farm.

A 200-acre ranch in Santa Monica,
Cal. Is devoted to carnations as an
outdoor crop. The grower is retired
banker who follows flower culture as
Il recreation. He started with two
acres, which have been increa sed to
20 acres. and 1t is expected that final
ly the whole of the ranch will be de
voted to the culture of this flower.
The carnation fields are yielding on an
average from 5000 to 10000 flowers
every day, and the demand is stated to
be greater than the supply. A carna-
ton field remains in bearing from two
to three years. and is then renewed
with plants obtained from cuttings.
The plants are set in rows three feet
apart, and the plants two feet apart
in the rows, thus permitting cultva-
ton with machinery.

And spread the roof above them; ere he
framed

The sound of anthems. in the darkling

And offered to the Mightiest solemn

And supplication. For his simple heart
Might not resist the sacred influences
Which, from the Silly twilight of the
place.
And from the gray old trunks that high
in heaven
Mingled their messy boughs and from
the sound
or the invisible breath that swayed at
All their green tops, stole over him, and
bowed
His spirit with the thought of bonndless
And inaccessible ma iesty. All why
Should we in the worlds ripper years
neglect
Only among the crowd. and under roofs
That our frail hands have raised! Let

Offer one hymn--thrice happy if it find
Acceptance in His ear.

FOLLOWING the LEADER.


This incident is quoted from the
New York Evening Post. not as an eX.
ample of one mans superiority to the
common herd, but rather to show that
masculine wisdom is not incompatible
with considerable folly.
The man who had been discussing
his fellows at length said. with sad
smile: az anything were needed ia
prove that mankind are like sheep,
the doubter ought to go to one Of the
elevated stations where the company
has installed two ticket sellers If half
the people would go to one window
and half to the other. nobody would
be delayed. But nobody ever saw
this happen.
Suppose he went on. 1.-The plac e
is empty at some particular moment.
and that twenty-five men file In at
regular intervals of four feet. The
first man sees the nearest window and
makes for it, Eight men follow hin,
without looking to right or left. and
there is congestion at once"
And execratiOn OF the company
remarked listener.
The speaker nodded and continued
"All of sudden the ninth man gets
to the top of the stairs and sees the
vacant window. 1t Is an inspira ton,
and he rushes over to it.
Numbers ten to nineteen follow
him. and they pile w there and fidget,
while the first window is deserted. The
last three men finally jump for it, and
almost fight to see which gets his
ticket first.
1T is often pointed out" concluded
the critic. that men know how TO
form in lines and wait for turns. while
women don't But to form in two lines
is something men can't seem to earn"

MADE PURSUIT OF WEALTH.
Those Who Have Won "a Com petence
Should Retire from Business.

Those Who Have Won a Competence
Should Retire from Business.
In the United States leaders in every
line of activity, in politics and bust
ness. have been conspicuously prone
to die, as it is said in harness. The
death Of Mark Hanna is case in
point. But the list of those distin-
guished for their successful attain
ment of wealth and fame, who have
continued their activities long after
the advance of age and the diminu
ton Of physical strength must have
warned them Of the approaching end,
is very long one. In the older coun-
tries of Europe, on whose civiliZa ton
that of the United States is founded,
or less successfully obtained the OBJ
ject they aimed at to retire and enjoy
freely the prizes they have gained,
although even there the old barbaric
struggle is in many cases kept up to
the end. Public opinion there. too. Is
more tolerant of those who lay of the
harness before being compelled to do
SO by the decree of fate. In this
country, however, there seems to ex-
list in the mind Of the ordinary man
certain contempt for those who give
up the strenuous paths of labor and
ambition before their strength has
wasted away. The successful men
of the United States who have sprung
from the masses are imbued with this
opinion. Until within the last TWEEN
ty-five years the idea of retiring from
active life and settling down to life
in which personal tastes and proclivi-
ties could be followed was regarded
as at least eccentric.
There have always been two neces
sary steps to be taken before retire
ment from active life could with
safety be accomplished; one was the
requirement of wealth and the other
provisions for its safekeeping. AS
civilization progresses the second and
more important step can be more ca s.
ily managed The individual no longer
has to depend upon his own efforts to
guard the store set aside for his flu
ture support The power of corpora
tons, originally directed simply to the
accumulation of wealth, is now to a
very great extent applied to its con
servaton.
In Great Britain there has always
been a wealthy leisure class. and nat
urally there has been systematiza-
ton Of the manners and customs con
seouent on such an associatio Of
wealth and leisure. Public opinion is
more tolerant Of a man who wishes
to do what he likes with his own
than it has yet become in the United
States. The existence of a leisure
class, able and willing to enjoy their
lives nationally and intelligently is a
check on the wilder exhibitions of
leisure on the part Of suddenly ac-
uuired wealth. 1t also holds out
something beyond mere money getting
as the goal of successful life. 1t
encourages retirement after reason
