Honor Your Business.
1t Is surprising how many men
there are who do not desire their sons
or anyone else to adopt their calling
But is it wise thus practically to speak
Ill Of your business?
1t Is good sign when a man is
proud of his work or calling. Men are
frequently heard finding fault with
their particular business, deeming
themselves unfortunate because fast
ened to it by the necessity of gaining
a livelihood. They thus destroy all
their efforts in the work and keep
shifting from one thing to another un-
til they are finally failures in life.
A man should put his heart into
everything he does. There is no pro-
fession that has not it's peculiar cares
and vexations. No man can escape
annoyance by changing his business.
There is not any mechanical business
altogether agreeable. Commerce is
affected, like all other pursuits, with
trials and unWelcome duties.

FIERY DRAGONS.
They Spat Out Fury From Tongues
| Barbed With Flame.

They Spat Out Fury From Tongues
Barbed With Flame.
Dragons were important animals in
ancient and medieval natural history.
Until comparatively recent time no
scientist ever thought of questioning
the existence of this most formidable
OF beasts. The annals of Winchester
Tor 1177 gravely state that lin this
year dragons were seen Of many in
England" Gesner, professor of nat
ural history at Zurich, gave, a detail
ed description of the dragon, while
'Aldrovandus in his '..History of Ser
penis and Dragons" published in 1910,
devoted fifty pages to the monster
A good specimen Of a dragon would
seem to have been a beast about the
size of sheep, incased in a coat of
scales which shone like silver. Its
back was serrated like a saw. It pos
sessed long tail, pair of batike
wings, four heavily clawed feet and
a wolvine head, the jaws of which
were armed with very formidable
teeth. The tongue was barbed with
fire, and fury issued from the mon
ster's mouth, and the head bore
crest. Dragons were the most wicked
and indicative Of creatures They
seem always to have been in a tow
ering rage and spent the creates por-
ton of their time in rushing up and
down the earth destroying everything
that came in their path.
The origin Of dragons was disputed
point among medieval naturalists.
Some maintained that these animals
were generated by the heat of India.
Others were Of opinion that the volca-
noes of Ethiopia used to belch forth
