fine old English herb, lavender, is its
tonic effect upon excited, trembling
nerves and irritabiIity. Two or three
teaspoonfuIs of the tincture in a cup

ess success three words: "organize, Deputze, Systematize" There
Is 10 question but that success could be thus attained in any lire of
business.
When a man has determined to embark in a retail business he will
Know seVeral things II he is WISE. He will know how much he intends
to invest in business what his expenses will be, what his margin Of
proht will be, and the amount Of business he may reasonably expect
to DO. The better he knows each of these the stronger will be his
organization, the surer and more certain will be his success.
After he has acquired a knowledge of his business and is open for
business, the first great problem that confronts him is how to get bust
ness-n fact the problem of getting and holding business is the great.
est problem Tin the retail world today
The problem of getting business looks easy to the inexperienced
but is. in fact most difficult. A merchant may start ut personally to
drum up business, but he oon finds this very expensive. The enter
prisng merchant will soon learn it is far cheaper and more feasible to
deputze someone Or force to assist, under his careful supervision, in
the task of getting business.
What medium to use is a matter for each merchant to settle for
himself, but il we are to judge future success by past success there is
no question that the local newspaper Is the cheapest and best medium
to IS in getting and holding business, all things considered.

SMALLEST BEAST OF PREY
Species Of Weasel, Little Larger Than
q Field-Mouse, Is a Most
Persistent Hunter.

The smallest carnivorous animal in
the world is an American weasel,
which is numerous in northwest Can
ada and Alaska and is occasionally
seen about the great lakes. 1t is a
true weasel, but only six inches long,
with a tail only one inch in length. All
it's upper surface is in summer pure
umber brown, but the throat, abdo-
men, and inside of the legs are pure
white; and, unlike any other weasel, it
has no black at the end of the tail.
Hence, although the animal turns
white in the north in winter, 1t does
not show the black-tipped tail which
characterizes an ermine pelt and so it
Is not sought by trappers and fur
traders. This fact, with its small size
and s~ecretive life. has made it's habits
very little known. but they seem to be
much like those of other weasels. Il
feeds. on insects. which 1t finds alive in
summer and In winter digs out Of rot

lives mainly on mice. These 1t a fol-
low into their narrowest holes and
runaways. for 1t Is scarcely larger
than q ield-mouse itself; or, striking
the trail of one. it will trace all its
wanderings. and as SOC as 1t catches
sight Of its prey will spring after 1t
with amazing and fatal rapidity. 1t Is
frequently caught by naturalists In
their mouse traps. An old Indian told
Mr.. w. H. Osgood of the biological sur
vey, who thus captured one in south
ern Alaska, that it was a promise of
rare good fortune. His brother, he re-
lated, had taken n when a boy and
had in consequence become a big
chief. A good name for this least of
the carnivores would be "mouse-hunt-

Scientific Hoax.

A letter published in the New York
Engineering News from E. Gybbon
Salisbury gives the origin Of the
myth regarding the "steel-eating
worm" About 1866, he says, work.
people Of various iron, steel and chem
ical works of the district surrounding
Haspe, in Germany, used to meet at
a hotel in order to discuss subjects
of a general interest, with the result
that a society known as the "Ulk,'
which in English signifies "fun," was
formed. The ~steel-eating worm was
created at one Of the meetings, and
an editor from n of the neighboring
towns was made the subject of the
joke. The insect" was manufacs
tured from a piece of guttapercha
tube, and was exhibited in a bottle
half full Of scale. The worm was
filled with dilute hydrochloric acid
and when properly disturbed with a
glass rod it would emit a drop of the
acid, which, on attacking the scale
served to prove that the c%orrosion
was due to a secretion of the worm
and that the oxides formed it's food
The editor accepted the exhibit in
good faith, and published an &C
count of the alleged discovery, with
the consequence that it reappeared in
many other journals, and has since
been reproduced elsewhere at varying
intervals. -.-assp,~
