How to Be Ready.

To know how to be ready-a great
thing. precious gift and one that im-
plies calculation. grasp and decision
to be always ready a man must be
able 10 cut a knot, for everything can
not be united. He must know how to
disengage what is essential from the
detail in which it is inwrapped, for
everything cannot be equally cOnsid-
cred. In q word. he must be able to
simplify his duties, his business and
his life To know how to be ready Is
to know how to start. 1t is -astOnish-
ing how all of us are generally cum
bered up with the thousand and one
bindrances ard duties which are not
such, but which nevertheless wind us
about with their spider threads and
fetter the movement Of our wings. 1t
is the lack Of order which makes us
slaves. The confusion of today dis
counts the freedom of tomorrow. Con-
fusion is the enemy of all comfort, and
confusion is born of proscrastination.
To know how to be ready we must be
able to finish. Nothing is done but
what is finished. The things which we
leave dragging behind us will start up
again later on before US and harass
our path. Let each day take thought
for what concerns it. liquidate it's own
affairs and respect the day which is to
follow, and then we shall be always
ready. To know how to be ready is at
the bottom to know how to die.-Amiel.

Some physicians said dyspepsia, some
consumption. One said l would not

Rats as Gold Mines.

It is a common practice for the boys
in some watch and jewelry factories
10 kill the rats which infest the build
ings and burn the bodies to obtain the
gold. Many oiled rags are used in
Furnishing watch cases, and in time
they become impregnated with gold.
The rats eagerly devour these rags.
and q few months of this kind of diet
fills the interior mechanism of the rat
with a gold plating. Twice year the
boys have a grand cremation. The
rats are caught by the hundred and
burned in q crucible. The intense heat
drives off all animal substances and
leaves the gold in the shape Of little
lump. The amount of the precious
metal obtained in this way is not large.
but gives the ingenious youngsters
plenty Of pocket money. In some fac
tories young NapoleOns of finance buy
up in advance the shares Of their fell
low workers in the rat colony.-LondOn
