MANNERS A BUSINESS ASSET
English Lord Urges Boys to Cultivate
Politeness Because of the Com
merciaI Value They Give.

Lord Rosebery, speaking to some
English grammar school boys, dwelt
on the enormous commercial value OF
manners" He urged every boy pres,
ent to cultivate manners mot for the
higher consideration" but because
they will give him value which he
will never possess without them.
His lordship neglecte dto specify
the particular commercial centerA
where manners command premium.
But it has not been observed that man.
ners have much to do with business
success in New York, or for that mat
ter in Chicago or Berlin, however II
may be in London. If Wall street re-
garded manners as possessing a COM
mercial value it would long ago have
capitalized them. But good manners
never looted a traction system or or.
ganized a trust or created the neces-
sity for federal regulation. No captain
of industry has ever been indicted for
politeness, and the manners of rail.
road presidents and bankers have not
been extolled for their suayity. says
the New York World.
The son-in-law of Lord Rothschild
apparently takes an academic view Of
manners. They have their uses ii
some walks of life and are an asset to
creators of swollen fortunes who seeh
to break into society" But generally
speaking, books of department do not
seem of much value to youths ambi
tious of commercial success. The cap
tains Of industry are not captains Of
courtesy.

AUTUMN CARE OF THE COLTS
Young Animals Should Be Given Some
Grain and Hay Just Before Pas
lures Begin to Dry Up.

Young colts should not be left out
in the pasture until they begin to get
low in flesh. 1t is much more profit
able to begin feeding them a little
grain and hay along before pastures
begin to dry up to have them in readi-
ness to go on dry feed later without
any serious trouble.
This is too often neglected; and,
when young colts are brought In thin
in flesh. and they cannot be taken
through the winter in the condition
that they could have been, this neg
lect Is inexcusable.
In weaving the colt from the mare,
it should have the very best of care,
as the change of conditions Is liable
to cause some trouble. While on the
good summer pasture the mare gave
milk that was easily digested and in
taking colts from milk to dry food,
1t is necessary that they should re-
ceive the very best of attention. They
should be properly fed In order to
prevent any bowel troubles. This rule
will hold good in taking young calves
through this period and In fact will ap-
ply to all kinds of live stock, but
more especially to the young of the
farm which are expected to turn in a
profit for the farmer the next year.

SIGHT OF MICE AND SNAILS
Little Rodents Are Good at Dstin-
gushing Different Degrees of H.
Elimination and Colors.

How much does a mouse see? To
look at a mouse, one would think that
sight counted for a great deal In its
life, but experiments go to show that
this Is only true within certain limits.
Mice are good at distinguishing differ.
ent degrees of illumination and differ
emit colors (preferring red and yellow
to blue and green), and they are quick
to detect movements, but they have
little sense of form and little binocular
vision.
Does a snail see? Field observa-
tons suggest that the animal avoids
the light. Laboratory experiments, on
the other hand, suggest that it prefers
the light Prof. Emile Yung of Geneva
has reinvestigated the question and
finds that both these conclusions are
wrong. He made over 1000 observa-
tons on ITO snails and found that
they were quite Indifferent to all sorts
Of light stimulus, that they do not pre-
fer lighted or shaded areas, and that
they do not see obstacles in front of
them. and that their eyes have no Wis
ual significance.

PROFIT SHARING WORKS WELL

that It may have this effect Many

Heretofore In world history human
development has been toward indi-

everything which tended to exalt and

1t was necessary and good; but be-
yond that, development to the ideal

This is up to you. II you sit idly by

when you do not get eggs when they
are a luxury or set up wall when
your birds are picked off by the raw

prepared to have eggs when they are
wanted. In order to accomplish this
several things are necessary. First,
keep the hens healthy and vigorous,
feed them properly and keep them
busy. Idle hens never pay for their
board and keep.
Study the peculiarities and prefer
ences of the fowls and endeavor to
give them just what they want. Re-
member you cannot get eggs by failing
to attend to the many details con-
nected with the poultry yard and gen.
eral inattention to business. A few
hours each day, morning and night,
will accomplish wonderful results. See
to it that your part in the program
of egg production is carried out and
the hens will do the rest.

Queer Reason for Bali Game.

Herodotus learned from the Iydian
that the Greek ball game originated in
a prolonged famine In Lydia For
some time they endured 1t, but at last
they invented dice. knuckle-bones. the
ball and all other games except
draughts. One day they played these
games so as to keep their minds OF
food; the next they took food and
did not play. This alienation eked
out their provisions for eighteen
years, at the end Of which time. the
situation still being desperate. half
the population emigrated. One can
only suppose that the ball games were
not very athletic; otherwise the In
creased appetite given by them must
have undone much Of the saving.

MUST ALWAYS BE A HEAD
We'll for Worker to Remember That
Obedience to Orders Should Be
First Consideration.

II you are working for concern, re-
member there must be some head,
some one to give directions, and some
one Is responsible. Your duty is to
obey them. Your value lies in doing
what you are told, says writer in the
Philadelphia Telegram. Get the habit
Of listening attentively to whatever
your employer tells you. If you think
he Is making mistake, go to him and
tell him. and If he tells you he knows
he is right, then carry out his instruc-
tions. You will find in most cases
the man who thinks for you Is right,
for. he at least is making an honest
effort to carry you and your fellow
workers along the road toward sue
cess.
Mirabeau once said. IF there was no
honesty, 1t would be invented as a
means of getting wealth.
In the beginning of a countrys CIV

law is that Of "the survival of the fit
