who spoke yesterday at the closing ses'

The subject Of his address was "Educa.
ION as a Factor in Efficient Manhood"
Professor Butler spoke in the place Of
President William r. Harper, who was
too i'll to attend the session.
"The term 'self.made man is mere
fallacy,' Professor Butler declared. The
self. mans success is due only to
unusual ability. Efficient manhood-tne
manhood that ought to be offered to the
world-no longer can be home made. In
this time of competition the world is

Ideas Worth Money.

Perhaps never before have men been
so willing to pay for ideas. A rail
road director receives a handsome
salary for his opinion on a measure.
A corporation lawyer is asked a ques-
ton, which he instantly answers, and
his bill for a large sum is cheerfully
paid. 1t took only a moment in each
case, but the value of an idea cannot
be measured by the time it takes to
express it. 1t has taken a long time
to convince moneyed men of this
point, and some of them have not been
convinced. But those who are wise
enough TO see it are availing them.
selves of great opportunities for the
betterment of their business. The
idea has its extensions, reaching
throughout an organization.
The man in charge of a division of
a business is given credit for what
he knows as well as for what he does
says Success. He is given credit for
what he leaves undone-what he sees
it were wise not to do. The tendency
is to encourage real thinking through
out the organization, where formerly
only blind work was expected, accord
ing to the plan then in use.

THOUGHT Blacks Immortal.

The natives of the West Indies
imagined that the negroes, who were
imported in droves as slaves from
western Africa by the early Spanish
governors, were immortal, says Pear
sons Weekly. The black man was a
novelty to these islanders, and their
belief arose from the fact that the
negroes were never seen to suffer
from any natural infirmity, such as af-
fected the white man and the island
ers themselves.
The American climate agreed with
them better than their own unhealthy
Guinea; and from their remarkable
vigor and extraordinary longevity the
Indians not unnaturally concluded
that they were immortal For a long
time they saw or heard of none who
died, except as criminals at the hands
of Spanish eXecutioners, and so they
believed that the only way to put an
end to a negro's life was to hang him.

GRAPES FREoH ALL WINTER.

AlC EeidNC " VIC 6H'NA'Ns
A clever French process by which
vine growers in France are able to
market fresh outdoor grapes all
through the winter is thus described
punches Of the finest grapes when
ripe in autumn are cut in such way
that to each bunch a piece of the vine
five or six inches long remains at
tached. From this piece the stems OF
the bunch hang, an arrangement vital
ly necessary to the success of the OPP
Grafton.
A large number of widemouth bot
ties, filled with water, is ranged in a
cellar and in the open end of each is
inserted the pieces of vine stem, the
punches of grapes hanging outside.
The grapes do not touch the water,
but are thus supplied with moisture
through the vine stem, which is i'm
mersed in water. BY this process
choice varieties of table grapes are
kept in perfect condition for the whole
winter.
The temperature of the cellar is uni
form and moderately low and care is
taken daily to supply the bottles with
the water lost by evaporation. Fruit
thus carefully tended is somewhat
costly, but there are many patrons
who willingly pay 81 bunch for the
delicacy of fresh grapes in midwinter.
