LITTLE THINGS AND BIG.
Jifferentiate Between the Essential
and the Non-Essentiat.

Little things are often Of great i'm.
pOrtance, but when they are SO they
are not little. The pinion Of a watch
wheel, for example, in one sense is
little. in another sense it is not so al
all; for when it is not perfectly ad
iusted. the watch is worthless for time
keeping. 1t is not size that makes a
thing little or great, but its relation to
the end for which a number Of things
are combined. If thing is essential
il is important. Because so many Of
the people who are always preaching
the importance of little things fail t
discriminate between the little and the
non-essential, they often make
WretChed mess of the management Of
their own and other peoples affairs
Theoretically, if every factor that con
tributes to- result is perfect, the re-
suit will be perfect; but practically,
for want of time, strength and oppor.
| tunity, the efficient man is compelled
to neglect some things for the sake Of
| others; and, in order to do this and
yet secure the main end, he has tc
| discriminate between the essential and
the non-essential. The one who ia
| thoroughly imbued with the false doc
trine of the importance of little things,
spends his strength without discrim
nation, and usually succeeds in miss
ing the main chance.-The Waterman.

America has so much undeveloped
land that natural and unmolested
parks can be found all through the
country. But in time this may be a
thiCkly populated country, and then
our posterity will feel the wisdom Of
their fathers in setting aside forever
extensive preserves in the interests
of patriotic memory, of beauty and of
recreation. Two such preserves of re.
cent establishment are the Plat Ma
tional park in Oklahoma and the Mac.
donough National park in Lake Cham,
plain, on the Isle st. Michael. In the
Lake Champaign park lie buried the
Americans and British who fell in the
battle of September II, 1914.
