Business Gaining in Honor
BY GILBERT HUBBARD.

Therefore business is essentially

Once men believed religion to be
the chief concern of mortals here be-

Gladstone once said, only two ave.
nues OF honor are open to young men
In England-the army and the
church"
This has been the prevailing opinion
OF the world for nearly two thousand
years. and is the one reason why the
dark ages were dark. During these
years OF night the fighting man was
supreme Ii was a long panic, ana
human evolution was blocked through
fear The race crawled. crept. hid.

died.
We now say that business is the
chief concern OF humanity. Business
is intelligent useful activity. me
word "busyness" was coined during
the time OF Chaucer. by certain sol

class who prided themselves upon tho
fact that they did no useful thing.
Men Of power proved their prowess
by holding slaves, and these slaves
did all the work To be idle showed
that one was not a slave.
But this word business" first flung
in contempt like Puritan. Methodist,
and Quaker. has now become thing
OF which TO lie proud ldleness is the
disgrace. not business.
The world can only be redeemed
through business; for business means

succeed that does not add to human
| happiness.

Modern business betters human
environment II means gardens. flow
ers, fruits. vegetables; II means quick,
safe and cheap transportation OF peo-
pie commodities and messages; II
means books. maps. furniture. PIC
lures. Fairgrounds. pure water. per
feet sewerage. fresh air. sunshine,
health happiness. hope. light and love
because business gives opportunities
for all to work. earn, grow and be-
come
Business consists in the production,
transportation and distribution of the
things that are necessary To human
life.
Through this exercise OF faculties
We educe the best that is in us: IN
other words, we get an education.
Inasmuch as business supplies the
necessities OF life. it is impossible to
have u highly evolved and noble race
except where there is science OF bus
mess.
The world Of commerce is just as
honorable as the world OF art. and a
trifie more necessary.
Art exists on the surplus that busi-
ness men accumulate.
Art. literature and music subsist on
the sufferance, patronage and encour'
agement that business men supply.
Business means taking things from
where they are plentiful To where they
are needed.
Business means making things that
people want
Business Is a human service.

The philosophy of Carteret was hav-

had not the slightest atom OF love for
him.

such contracts, subject TO the civil law which de-

What the Legislators enact they can also repeal. If
they enact laws defining the conditions under
which marriage may be legally contracted they

DECLINE IN MAPLE PRODUCTION,

The United States is producing less maple sugar
now than it did a few years ago. The census de-
partment has some figures on the subject, which
show production of 40.120000 pounds i'll 1860 and
II $4,000 pounds in 1900. The production of ma
pie syrup however, shows increase from l99o.-
600 gallons in 1859 to 2,O57 900 gallons in 1900
Vermont, New York Pennsylvania, Ohio and New
Hampshire are the greatest producers of maple SUI
gar in the order named, their production ranging
from 4.779,S7O pounds for Vermont to 41,olo
pounds for New Hampshire. These FIVE states pro-
duced about 80 per cent of all the maple sugar OF
the country in 1900.
That the industry of maple sugar manufacture
ing has declined in fifty years from forty to twelve
million pounds per year indicates the ultimate OK
tinction of the business. The decrease no doubt Is
caused by the destruction of the trees which is the
basis for the industry. and gives cause for alarm
lest in few years the sweet product of the forest
sugar tree will no more forever be component
part of breakfast of bucbwheat cakes, garlic
age and maple syrup.
If there were cause for the agitation for re-
forestaton and the conservation of our national re
sources these figures of the census bureau are
addition to it. It is interesting to note in this con-
ncction that many of the maple syrups that went
maple syrups before the pure food law went into
effect are no longer maple syrups. but are duly la
beled base limitations. The labelling hardly
necessary to anyone who spent part of his life in
the country where the genuine article was produced
during the late winter and early spring for
with the lapse of years the memory of that
brosa the forest remains, and the base imita-
ton of the present day is but snare and fraud.
Of imitation maple there is no end, and anybody
can make good as most and better than many
by simply boiling clean corn cobs in water for
few minutes and using that water in which to boil
enough brown sugar to make a syrup of the proper
consistency. But that preparation is not the genu.
inc nothing equals that.
