4 Well Ordered Desk Means . Wen
Ordered Mind.
There's one piece of advice" said
the senior partner, that I'd like to
give every young man taking a busi-
ness position with desk attached to
1t. It's this: Keep your desk clean.
What l mean by having desk clean
is keeping everything possible or it
except that which is related to the
matter in hand. I've observed in my
time good many men in their Offices,
and can say that with very few ex-
ceptions the real men Of affairs are
those who are free from clutter.
with a lot of papers In front Of you
it's almost certainty that some hour
In the day you're going to be fiustered,
and very likely 1t will be just when
you want clear head The old idea
that mass of material every which
way on the desk is a sign that person
Is full of business is pretty well out
worn. Such collection not only indi-
Gates lack of order, but also Is a sign
that nervousness may be expected from
the man in the chair. What with filing
cabinets and other devices no excuse
can be offered nowadays for confusion.
"a well ordered desk means well
ordered mind, mind taking up one
thing at time and giving it the proper
attention. 1t denotes regularity and
concentrated. effective effort" - New
York Press.

Three Kinds Of Lishfning.

Three Kinds Of Lightning.
The Etruscans Of old believed that
there were three kinds Of lightning
one incapable Of doing any injury, an
other more mischievous in Its character
and consequently only to be issued with
the consent Of quorum Of twelve
gods, and third carrying mischief In
its train and for which regular de-
cree was required from the highest d.
whites In the Etruscan skies. Curl
ously enough, modern scientific men
agree with the view that there are
three kinds Of lightning, but their vari-
eties differ from the Etruscans. The
first II known as f0rked lightning and
runs in zigzag lines, the second as sheet
lightning, because 1t II seen in q body,
and the third 40 globe lightning, as It
sometimes runs In the shape Of ball
The latter variety Is rather slow in
moving.
