 As an Owner Should Be.

Whilst It Is each mans interest that not only ease and convenience of liv- ing, but also wealth or surplus prod- ucts should exist somewhere, it need not be in his hands. Often it is very undesirable to him. Goethe said well: Nobody should be rich but those who understand it." Some men are born to own, and can animate all their possessions Others cannot; their owning Is not graceful-seems to be compromise of their character; they seem to steal their own divi- dends.. They should own who can ad- minister, not they who hoard and con ceal; not they who. the great pro- prietors they are, are only the great. CT beggars. but they whose work caryes out work for more, opens a path for all. For he Is the rich man in whom the people are rich: and he Is the poor man In whom the people are poor.--Emersol

Want Cotton BaIed More Carefully.

It is estimated that there is a loss of $5o,OOO,OOo year on American cotton as the result of the shiftless way in which the crop is packed for market. A large part of our cotton goes abroad where it has to compete with other cotton. and the careless way in which it is baled causes prejudice against it and tends to lower prices. The bales are loosely compressed, insufficiently bound and poorly wrapped with burlap, so that often they look like rag bags" it is complained. Then too our shippers are careless about marking them and keeping them dry, so that one bale out of every lOand sometimes one out of every five is for one reason or another below standard.
 When it is remembered that a bale of cotton weighs 500 pounds and that it is worth from $6O to $z5 usually, it would seem as if it would pay to give attention to ev- cry detail of this sort. Of course American cotton furnishes nearly all the worlds supply, and the man. ufacturers have to take it if they want any, but nevertheless our no- toriously lax methods of handling the staple hurt the market very much and react on the pocket books of the producers by giving an excuse for reducing prices.

 Real greatness consists in the possession and the development of three faculties of observation, by which you acquire knowledge; con- centration, by which you store it away, and analyzation, by which you utilize it. Any individual who possesses these three great facul- ties is called a geuius."

AS TO BOOKS AND EDUCATION
GIadstone's Advice and Summing Up Are Worth the Careful Consid-
 eration of All Readers.

And now I commend you again to your books. Books are delightful so- ciety. If you go into room and find it full of books even without taking them from their shelves, they seem to speak to you, to bid you welcome. They seem to tell you that they have something inside their covers that will he good for you, and that they are willing and desirous to impart to you. Value them much. Endeavor to turn them to good account and pray recol- !ect this, that the education of the mind Is not merely storage of goods in the mind. The mind of man, some people seem to think, is a storehouse which should be filled with a quantity of useful commodities which may be taken out like packets from a shop and delivered and distributed accord ing to the occasions of life. I will not say that this Is not true as far as it goes. but it goes very little way;
 TOT commodities may be taken in, and commodities may be taken out, but the warehouse remains just the same as 1t was before, or probably little worse. That ought not to be the case with a mans mind No doubt you are able to cull knowledge that Is useful for the temporal purposes of life, but never forget that the purpose for which man lives is the improvement of the man himself, so that he may go out of the world having, in his great sphere or his small one, done some little good to his fellow creatures, and labored a little to diminish the sin and the sorrow that are in the world.

Divorce.

Divorce IS an operation Tor the removal of a husband or wife. ltis performed by a lawyer instead of a surgeon and can be done without an anaesthetic. though the fee is as large as if 1t had to be done with knives, saws, stump pullers, and electric massage. It is not painful except when cross bills and CO., respondents set in, but is subject to severe after-effects, such as alimony which keeps the victim financially bed-ridben for years.
 In other countries divorce is re- sorted to only as relief, and is re- garded as being too serious to use as cure for wife-beating or other minor troubles. In this country di- yorce is used as repartee, as div ersion, an advertisement, as second thought and as a means of playing that fascinating game know as
 progressive marriage" Divorce in this country is so common that the slip knot is now being tied by all ministers. Couples marry for bet ter or for divorce. In New York, where people are so prosperous that they are not afraid of lawyers, it takes longer to call off the matri- nonial history of a society leader than it does to announce the anees- try of a Bostonese.
 Gases for divorce vary in differ ent states which, together with the low rates and excellent train ser vice, is a great conveience, In South Carolina there is no excuse for divorce, while in Reno, Nevada. | a $loO bill is ample reason, In H. linois divorce is as free as air to the lowest as we'll as the highest and the wife who burns beefsteak, or the husband whose feet perspire have no legal standing and are like ly to lose their matrimonial jobs at any time. It usually takes young couple a year or two to decide whether they are fitted for matri- mony, but in Chicago they marry first and decide afterward with the help of the judge.
 Owing to the ease in which divorce can be obtained in this country it is being greatly overdone. Wives are getting divoroes in order to raise their husbands salaries and hus- bands are getting diyorces in order to improve their wives complexions. One wife at time is still the rule
 in this country, but the habit of keeping list waiting is causing a great deal of remark. It is time for reform. Every man or woman is entitled to make one mistake, but when a husband has proven re- peated fizzle. he should be eompell- ed to go back to the lunch counter brigade for the rest of his life and give the bachelors chance.--By Geo. Fitch, copyright by Geo. Mathew Adams.

ECHOES LOUDER THAN SOUND
Probably Hard Thing to Imagine, But Science Has Proved It Fact
 Beyond Doubt.

To most persons it would seem i'm possible for an echo to be louder than the sound that produced the echo, but under certain rather peculiar condi- tions this is really true.
 When a revolver is fired from bal loon the report is sharp, but not so loud as it would be if the gun were fired on the surface of the earth.
 If the balloon is up something like 1000 feet or higher, there will be few seconds silence after the revolver shot and then roar or deep rumble will rise up from the earth.
 If an explosive is lowered from the basket of the balloon until it hangs few hundred feet below, and it is dis charged with an electric spark from a battery in the hands of one of the aeronauts, there will come to the ears of those above report like re- volver shot and then few seconds of silence, followed by peal of the ioudest thunder ever heard.
 There is no solid background about or above the balloonists to produce rebound of the atmospheric sound wave and the air Is more dense below. Thus. when the soundwaves pene- trate the denser lower strata of air and then the solid earth, the echo pro- duced seems to the ears of the occu- pants of the balloon far louder than the original sound.-Harper's Weekly
 Paris Needs Skyscrapers.
 Paris is realizing that it is faced with the problem of a greatly over- crowded business center, and the only solution of the matter seems to be the adoption of the American sky scraper, which is being bitterly op- i posed by the true Parisian, who re- gards the innovation as destructive to many of the famous structures and disastrous to the appearance of the city. It Is fight of the new against | the old. and means the elimination of many cherished institutions and time honored customs of the typical Frenchman of the gay metropolis.
