Wealth Through Accident.

Some of the most valuable discov.
cries have been accidental, or when
search was under way in some other
field. Forida's great beds of fuller's
earth-the greatest in this country
were brought to light about twenty
years ago in a manner entirely acct
dental, resulting from an unsuccessful
attempt to make brick from clay found
near Quincy, The resemblance of the
material to German fuller's earth was
recognized by an employee of the com
pany and tests developed the fact that
in many respects the material was
equal to the imported earth. Mining
of the deposit began in 1895.

The Crowd Habit.

An interesting article in the Daily
News, London, speaks of our depend
ence upon life in crowds as follows:
The thing begins in childhood; we
are taught in crowds; brought up in
a mental and physical crush. The edu-
c~ationalist still talks of the theory Of
individual instruction and pedagogues
place 1t in their -prospectuses, but it is
only their joke. This collective school
life not only stunts growth moral, in
tellectual, v physical, not only kills
individuality under rretenses of rub
bling off the corners, but brands the
chiidren's brains with the conviction
that life can be lived only in a crowd"
1t is well for all teachers to instill
the value of quiet study and time for
thinking out things" quite apart from
other people, into the minds of their
scholars. In this feverish age, as it is
sometimes called, we all, teachers and
pupils alike, need TO believe in our
WI individual mental ability, uninfiu-
enced by the crowd.

How TO Handle the Crouch

When a customer hasa crouch,
what then?
La the first place, listen. Don't
talk. Pay attention to the crouch.
Let the customer tell the whole
story TO the last word.
Let him find fault. Let him
abuse your firm. Let him swear.
Let him explode, if he insists
upon it.
Let him get the crouch out of
his system. Then
In the second place, begin
gently to put some pleasant ideas
into him to take the place of the
crouch.
Appreciate his troubles. Talk
to him from his own point of
view.
This will surprise him. He has
at you as an enemy and,
presto!-you are transformed into
a sympathetic friend.
At once he begins to regret his
bad temper. He makes some
apologies-you have
won him over. Herbert N. Cas-
son.
