Manners Make Man.

A pleasing manner is an important
essential in success in any business.
A gentle, courteous manner will win
recognition anywhere. SO much de-
ponds upon first impressions, and
these are favorable or unfavorable
according to whether a man is polite
and courteous or brusque and ner-
vous in bearing.
We cannot always judge a man by
what he says or does, but the way
in which he says or does a certain
thing will prove the best index to his
character.
A pleasant, courteous bearing will
help q man to success in business
where a boorish, impatient manner
will turn away customers. The
brusque man fnay be as we'll meaning
as his more affable rival, but people
have not the time nor inclination to
find out what is beneath the rude
exterior; they prefer to patronize the
man who makes it plain that it is
a pleasure to serve: that the world is
mighty pleasant place, and that he
is glad 70 be alive.
II you are not the possessor of a
pleasant manner start in to acquire
It; you will find 1t an immense help
In making a success of anything you

"Superf1uous millions will only buy

of life can wear only one suit of
clothes at time, eat only one meal

This remark was quoted to Samuel
T. Johnson, the Columbus capitalist,
by a reporter, together with Thor
eau's famous saying:
Men labor under mistake. The
better part Of the man is soon
ploughed into the soil for compost.
BY a seeming necessity they are en-
ployed, as it says in an old book,
laying up treasures which moth and
rust will corrupt and thieves break
through and steal"
Mr.. johnson listened with smile.
He stood in his office in his shirt
sleeves, studying the tape that
streamed from O ticker.
"That is all good, straight talk" he
said, "and every syllable of it is true,
but you can take my word for it,

When the late Senator Taylor was
Governor of Tennessee he issued a
great many pardons to men and wom-

a relative incarcerated. One morning

Taylor to pardon her husband, who
was in jail

Perfumes from Chemicals.

There are few perfumes today that
cannot be made from chemicals,
alphabetically, as the chemists call it.
Formerly all perfumes were extracted
from flowers, fruits, spices, woods or
other vegetable and animal SUBJ
stances. The first perfume to be
initiated was vanilla, in 1876. Hello
tropine followed, being obtained by
oxidation of by-product of camphor.
Terpinol is one of the most freely
used constituents of perfumes. This
is a near relation to turpentine. with
this, a little oil and aqua FORTS a
chemist can produce a perfume that
can scarcely be distinguished from
those exhaled by the lily of the valley
lilac and cape jessamine, varying ac-
cording to the proportions in which
the chemicals are blended.
Artificial violet is a combination of
citrol Can essence extracted from
lemon), Indian vervaine, or lemon
verbena, with common acetone, a
substance very like pyroligneous
acid
No chemist has been able to coun-
terfeit musk, but a synthetic per-
fume called musk is made from tolu-
enc, by-product of benzine and
coal tar. This is changed to a COM
pick carburet, treated with azotic
and sulphuric acids, is diluted and
sold as musk
Most of the cheap perfumes are
limitations and they are almost al
ways inferior to the flower extracts.
So it might properly be said that it
is wise flower that knows its own
perfume .-Exchange

About fortnight ago the surface be-

a man can get SO to SIS a week and

class that are the cause of the strike.
The bosses go out and bring in a.

teach him how to sew on a machine

Now they suffer and make us suf-
