Kind Words.

Everybody, young and old, feels the in
huence of kind and helpful words. No
matter how tired one may be a kind
word is sure to Danish some of the weari-
ness and to raise the dropping spirits.
There is nothing so disheartening as to
be met with harsh words, when the re-
verse is expected. Many poor creature
has given up the struggle for existence,
even, because no one had interest enough
to pass on gentle word. A CHEEKY
Good morning" to the, perhaps, home
sick clerk, or whatever the case may be,
will carry sunshine with it and Danish a
little of the unhappiness. If the EN-,
ployee's work is to improve, constant
iaultfnding will accomplish nothing, ex-
cept to bring encouragement and lack
OF ambition.
A judicious word of praise will correct
more faults than much complaint.
1t is sometimes urged that praise will
awaken to much satisfaction in the work,
and will remove the desire for improve
ment. This may be true, but the EN-
ployee, who occasionally is commended
tor the work done, is more apt to strive
hard that such words OF encouragement
may be heard more frequently Ex-
change.

A Novel Business Trip.

What promises to be a novel business
trip has been. inaugrated by sending the
new four.cylinder Pope-Hartford over
the road visiting the principal agencies
to exhibit the car and demonstrate its
qualities. Previous to this trip, the car
was driven several thousand miles,
severe test over the toughest New Eng.
land roads, through sand and mud
regardless of weather conditions, and
loaded at all times with excessive dead
weight iu the shape OF sand bags.
Mr.. Wilbur c. Walker, Secretary of
the Pope Manufacturing Company, has
already visited with the car the principal
New England agencies and the cities Of
Brooklyn and Philadelphia. with excel
lent results, and now starts with two
statesmen on long western trip through

Cheaper Easter Lilies.

The bureau of plant industry of the de-
partment OF agriculture is engaged on a
work which, it is predicted, will result in
materially reducing the prices of Easter
lilies.
Early last year the bureau imported
from the Philippines lily resembling the
common Easter lily in size and color,
though bearing only one, and at times
two, flowers to the plant, but develop
ing in the remarkably short space OF two
or three months.
This lily, Mr. Oliver, the department 8
plant breeder, has crossed with the com.
mon Easter lily. resulting in hybrid,
bearing as many flowers per plant as the
old Bermuda lily, and in no wise differ
ing in appearance from the latter plant,
which will develop in four or FIVE months.
AS yet the experiment is not complete,
but enough has been seen to warrant
plant experts in the belief that the new
hybrid Easter lily can be produced vastly
cheaper than the one that has been
grown.

The rlan Who Does Not Laugh.

Russell H. Conwell, in recent lecture
advised his hearers to take their money
out OF the bank if the cashier is a man
who doesn't laugh. If William Shakes
peare is to be trusted, Julius Caesar had
much the same opinion, though he did
not apply it to the bank cashier. He OBJ
jrcted to Cassius on the ground that:
Seldom he smiles; and smiles in such a sort,
AS if he Knocked himself, and scorned his
spirit
That could be moved to smile at anything"
The event sho VS. that the monarch had
ample occasion to be suspicious OF the
elum and gloomy man. The principle
holds pretty sound, too. all through lite,
Men who do not laugh may not rob
banks, but it is just as well not to trust
them with the cash.

Winter Bird'Nelghbors.

1t is surprising that there are birds
which come to us only to spend the win
ter, leaving us again at the beginning OF
spring for northern lands and snow
banked hillsides, where the long day and
pale twilight nights of the Arctic reign.
Birds that raise their broods in the far,
treeless northland. where heather, grass
er and stunted alders grow on shallo W.
soaking soil underlaid by great depth
OF eternal ice, at the approach of winter
gather into great rowing focks to surge
southwark to the gentler climate of our
blizzardy temperate" winters! Yet all
young country folks have seen these rest.
less, wandering focks OF winter lovers,
and occasionally even in the towns
and cities there arrive unfamiliar COM
panies Of lat, fluffy birds, busily opening
the cones of the frs and spruces, or
devouring the buds of the NAPLES.
Many of these much Travelled little
fellows are wonderfully tame, and seem
not to experience fear ofman so universal
with animals that rear their young in his
neighborhood. Pine grosbeaks and cross
bills. whose real homes are in the silent,
moss filled spruce forests of the great
North, will almost allow themselves to
be caught in your hand! With the field
rowing kinds, like the snow buntipgs,
horned larks, and longspurs, this fear
lessness is not found, probably from the
constant lookout they are forced to keep
against the cunning and hungry white
toxes and the daring, trapja wed little err
mine that persistenty hunt them in their
northland home. But the rosy little red
polls, the creepers, kinglets. "little friend
chickadee," as the northern Indians call
him, are as unafraid OF us as they are OF
the gentle porcupnes and deer of their
home woods. December St. Nicholas.

An Essay on Man.

The man stood upon q high hill, and
looking out over the wide expanse inf1atea
his chest, tilted his chin in the air and ex-
claimed:
"Behold, I ann it. / have solved all
things: To me nature has been compelled
to reveal her inmost secrets and l."
"But can you make light without heat?"
querled the freely that went sailing by.
"And can you soar aloft without percept-
ible notion" queried the buzzard.

queried the bird.
stYou call me electricity" said the light
ming fash, shut can you tell what I amp"
"Why is the grass green, and violets
blue, and roses red and the clover white?''
oueried the little rootlet.
ssThick and fast came these questions,
and quickly the sman shrank to inflnitesi-
NAL proportions. In a short while the high
hill was vacant save for the rocks and
shrubs. and the mar was grovelling in the
valley.

"a public official should be as
clean as a hounds tooth" said
President Roosevelt early in his
administration. But the presi-
dent has made a sad departure
from that high standard for pub
lie officials, of late. He has at
tempted to vindicate Paul Morton
Secretary of the navy, without
due process of law, he has dismis-
missed former Minister Bowen but
retained Assistant Secretary of
State Looms, after Mr.. LOOMS
has been proven to have invested
in Venezuelan securities, while
Minister to that country, and now
he has exalted LOOMS by making
him a special ambassador to
France to receive the body of John
Paul Jones, and has arranged that
Mr.. Loomis' European vacation
shall cost him nothing by giving
him a commission to investigate
the American diplomatic posts in
Europe. The Presidents bold
stand for railway rate legislation
won for him the respect of Ameri-
cans irrespective of party and
many there were who hoped that
we had returned to the early days
of the republic, at least to the ex-
tent of having a non-partisan
President. The presidents coura-
gous stand with regard to the tar
if hogs who are standing with
their feet in the trough added to
the hosts of his admirers, although
his tariff reform position was soon
abandoned. It may still be that
Democrats in Congress will have
to support the President IN his
campain against 1.-THE railroads
monopolize the great h~ighroads of
the country" but no admirer of
Theodore Roosevelt can but regret
that he should have so departed
from his high ideals as he has done
in the Morton, the Bowen and the
Loomis cases.
In the old days exposure of such
conduct as Secretary LOOMS was
guilty of, when he was minister to
Venezuela, would mean instant
dismissal at the hands of the
President. Now the president
confounds his secretary's enemies
by making him a special ambassa-
dor to France. And the French
must not make. a fuss over this
kind of ''shirt-sleeve diplomacy"
It becomes daily more obvious
that the president is arriving at a
realization of the fact that "pro-
tected hogs with their feet IN the
trough" is an inevitable concomi-
tant of protection and that he will
make no effort to change the pres
ent status during the next session
of Congress, beyond, perhaps, a.
p~erfunctory reference to the ne
cessity of changing the Dingley
schedules-sometime.
