SECRET or SUCCESS.
The Great Man Talks for Publication,
Not for Seif-ReveIation.

Now said the interviewer, after
the great man had told Of his achieve
mentg, will you tell me to what you
ascribe your success?"
For publication or your own infor-
mation?" asked the great man.
For publication" was the reply.
"Then say" said the great man re-
fiectively, that attribute my present
position to industry, economy, perse-
verance, a determination to succeed,
and a general observation Of all the
rules which, if you care to print them
at length, you may find IN the biogra-
ply of any self-made man."
The interviewer laid down his pen
Gil. "For my own information" he
said, what are the reasons for your
success?"
my relatives, friends and the grace
of God" responded the great man.
MY father and mother were per-
maps responsible for most. l love my
ease as much as any man. I delight to
put off till tomorrow what l might do
to-day, but my parents cured me Of
that as far as their opportunities went.
Through my uncle go. my start IN
business. Many time when Oppor-
tunity had knocked at my door have
been asleep and she has passed on,
but some friend of mine mas caught
her by the ear, brought her back and
insisted on my embracing her.
For the most brilliant Of my
achievements there is absolutely no
explanation. Most were accomplished
without previous thought, at chance
meeting, or under circumstances such
as no living man could have brought
about. That is what I call the grace
of God"
Better let me print that" remark

INCIDENCE AND GENIUS.
The Tardy Office Boy is a Text for
Some Sage Reflections.

Jimmy! JIMMY Confound that
boy! Where is he gone now?"
The bookkeeper fastened respectful
ly to the impatient boss.
Anything I can do, sir?" he said.
Jimmy has sneaked out again"
We'll, never mind, Jenkins. I'll
wait till he returns" said the boss.
Then, turning to his visitor, he COM
mented philosophically
Jimmy is so lazy that believe he
has a great fortune ahead of him.
Laziness is a sign of greatness, you
know. All our millionaires were lazy
boys. They never when they worked
for salaries, earned me: salt.
II have yet to see a self-made mil
lionaire with enough plodding indus
try in him to do days work of the
kind his clerks do-an honest days
work, from nine til six, at penpushing
or figuring. Every millionaire, every
successful man, is lazy. It is only in
the plodding failures-the bookkeep-
ers and the laborers and the clerks
that the virtue of industry is to be
found.
you say that great mems minds are
active, even though their bodies be
INDECENT? Well, that is nothing. Ev-
erybody's mind is active.
Successful men succeed because
their Iaziness sets them to thinking,
thinking has, on the way to earn
money easily, the way to earn great
quantities of money without doing
much work. Watch these men at the
beginning of their careers and you see
them, as hired CLERKS, distinguishing
in order to scheme and build-when
they should be bending over their
desks. Watch them after success 5
attained and you see them, with their
fat stomachs, lolling in their offices,
too lazy to write q letter or make out
bill or draw up cheek.
Hence l think Jimmy will succeed.
He is lazy, and laziness is success
prime factor. "-Chicago Chronicle.

AGRICULTURE;
Locked Up Plant Fertility.


The problem of rendering his poor
soil more productive, and his good
soil still better, is one in which every
farmer Of to-day is interested. We
venture the statement that of all the
run down" or abandoned farms in the
United States there is not one which
could not be made productive again II
proper methods of handling the soil
were employed.
The failure of land to yield a crop
is not due in most cases to a lack of
plant food in the soil. Results of
chemical analyses show that in aver.
age soils throughout the country ther.
is in the first eight inches enough nj
trosen to last 80 years, enough phos.
phoric acid to last 500 years, and
enough potash to last 1000 years.
Why, then, if the soil contains such
stores of plant food, does it fail to
support crops Simply because these
elements are locked up in such chemi.
cal combination that the plants are
unable to utilize them.
The great problem, then, of modern
agriculture is not entirely the con-
servation Of plant food in the soil, but
rather the unlocking of the rich stores
already in the soil, and placing them
In a condition to be assimilated by
plants. This unlocking process is car
ried on naturally by the soil micro.
organisms.
Plants, from the mightiest forest
tree to the tiniest blade of grass, con-
sist OF a complex combination Of mi.
croscopic cells. each cell containing
protoplasm. This protoplasm is con,
tinually changing, taking up food
which is brought to it in the sap, and
casting off its waste products in much
the same manner as the protoplasm in
the animal body.
Bacteria are also plants consisting,
however, Of but single cell filled with
protoplasm, which, like that of the
higher plants, is continually active in
assimilating from the surrounding me.
dunn the food elements necessary for
its maintenance. These myriads of
little plants, invisible to the naked
eye, in taking their food from the
chemical compounds Of the soil, pro.
duce in those compounds just the
changes necessary to render them
useful to the higher plants in making
their growth.
In order that bacterial activity may
go on with undiminished vigor, there
are certain conditions of the soil which
must be provided, certain require.
ments Of the bacteria which must be
complied with, namely, temperature,
moisture, reaction, respiration and
food supply.-S. F. Edwards.
