GOOD BUSINESS RULES

Business men in business hours,
attend only to business affairs.
Make your business known in
few words, without loss of time.
Let your dealings with strangers
be most carefully considered and
true friendships duly appreciated.
A mean act will soon recoil, and
a man of honor will be esteemed.
Leave tricks of trade to those
whose education was never COM
pleted.
Treat all with respect, confide in
few, wrong no man.
Be never afraid to say no, and
always be prompt to acknowledge
and rectify wrong.
Leave nothing for tomorrow that
should be done today.
Because friend is polite, do not
think his time is valueless.
Have place for everything, and
everything in its place.
TO preserve long friendship, keep
short credit; the way to get cred
1t IS to be punctual; the way to pre-
serve it is not to use it too much.
Settle often; have short accounts
Trust no man S appearance; they

WORE SHOES BUTLITTLE.

William E. Mooney, a farmer
who never wore shoes except in
winter, died Friday night at the
age of 81, in Union, New Jersey.
He ascribed his longevity to his
custom of goiug about in his bare
feet.
Even when there was frost on
the ground Mooney went about in
his bare feet. He smoked all his
life, but never more than a pipeful
day. He never touched liuuor
for medicinal purposes.

History.

History IS voice forever sounding
across the centuries the laws OF right
and wrong. Opinions alter, manners
change, creeds rise and fall. but the
moral law Is written on the tablets OF
eternity. For every false word or un.
righteous deed, for cruelty and oppres.
sion, for lust or vanity, the price has
to be paid ut last-not always by the
chief offenders, but paid by some one.
Justice and truth alone endure and
live. Injustice and falsehood may be
long lived, but doomsday comes at last
to them in French revolutions and
other terrible ways.-James Anthony
Froude.

The First
Negro Pre|ate

The first bishop of Negro blood
OH the American continent to wear
the inter was Right Rev. Francis
CO Jovier de Luna Victoria, who
was the son of a freed slave who
pursued the vocation of charcoal
burner, near Boca de la Rio Gran
de, aud peddlcl it on hi, back in
the streets of Panama, as one there
may see there many Negroes still
doing. This old man lived for no
other purpose than to rear and ed
ucate his son and offer him for the
sacred ministry, and he saw his
purpose accomplished.
Luna Victoria was not only a
man OF virtue and learning, but d
successful man Of affairs as we'll.
When the see of Panama became
vacant by the promotion of Bishop
Juan de Casterida to the see of
Cuzco, Peru, it having been offered
to and refused by several members
of religious orders, the inter fell
upon the head of the priest Fran
cisco JoVier de Luna Victoria, a
native Of the country, who had as
cended in the degrees of the eccles-
lastlcal hierarchy by his merits and
virtues.
He was we'll received and accep-
ted by the people of Panama in
those days, when it was known as
a proud and wealthy city, He
took possession of the diocese on
the 18th of August, 1851. The
new prelate, it is recorded, fur
nished at his own expense the cath
edral and enriched it with jewelry
and precious vestments, placed the
bells on the towers and was trans
ferred to the see of Trujillo, Peru,
in 1850.
He continued to furnish the
money until the building was COM
pleted on the Sd of December, 1860.
He was the first man of Negro
blood On the American continent to
wear the miter and the flowing
robes of bishop of the Roman
Catholic church.

How Girls Ought
To Be Trained

Every woman should know how
to sew. There is a mistaken notion
III masculine minds that everv
woman does know how to sew.
But this is by no means general
ruling. There are quite number
OF the fair sex who have no skill
wherever with the needle and thread
and arc quite unable to mend much
less to make their own attire.
When the first movements were
made toward the higher education
OF women, the movements which
originated the important wo1ncn's
colleges and educational centers of
today. the effort to improve fcni-
nine education and raise it above
the mediocre instruction of earlv
days went to the other extreme and
Greek and Latin and mathematics
usurped the place of the domestic
arts
Dressmaking and homecraft in
all ITS branches had no place in the
curriculum of the modern COLLEGE
girl, and the young lady who came
back from her finishing school
might be very learned in literature
and the sciences, but was very lit
tie use when it came to sewing and
busting and the many duties Of or
nlnary home life.
Now the pendulum is swinging
back again, and one il glad to see
that even the most advanced of
girls schools include houscwifery
and other useful accomplishments
IN their list of subjects. It is per
fectly easy to be studious and thor
ouRhly we'll educated, to have q
good working knowledge of the
arts and sciences, to know Ian
guages and history, and yet be able

cooked ahead so that he can remain
on the trail, or in pursuit of an
enemy for 48 hours without having
to stop to cook.
In his moments of leisure when
resting he should make careful
notes of all that he sees and any
thing out of the ordinary that he
can not understand should be care
fully described SO that he may pre-
sent this to his superior officer on
his return for Interpretation
Where he is called to points remote
from his usual patrol route he
should indicate a journey on his
map by use of his compass. He
should be careful to note the condi-
tlOn of the animals and whenever
possible to count those of the differ
ent species for the information of
headquarters.
Any indication of sickness
among the animals is of the great
est Importance and should be re-
ported at once, because epidemics
are almost as frequent among ami
mails as among human beings. In
reference in any way, shape, or
manner with the natural formations
should be reported. Dead fish on
the surface of the water is dan
gerous symptom and would indi-
cate fishing by use of explosives ;and
generally speaking, any indication
that nature or any of her creatures
has been disturbed should be given
the closest scrutiny and reported to
the officer in charge.
Men who will lend themselves
conscientiously to this work are not
common, and in their training it is
OF the greatest importance that
their faculties of observation be
cultivated to the extreme limit.
These men must feel a pride in the
work and strive to have their sec
ton the very best patrolled one
within the park. We will not get
a force sufficiently educated along
the lines that I have indicated un-
less we all unite in systematic work
and instruction, which can not be
too comprehensive nor too painsta-

Park Rangers
Good Scouts

ger must be properly armed, noun
ted, and clothed. He must feel
that his weapons are superior to
those in the hands of any outlaw to
whom he may be opposed; his
mount be swifter, and his clothing
adequate to protect him against the
rlgors of the climate Of his local
ity.
Thus spoke Col. l.. M. Brett, y.
5. A., superintendent of the Vel
lowstone, at the recent National
Parks Conference at Berkeley, Cal.
Col. Brett is one of the most expe-
rlenced Indian fighters in the ma
tional service.
A park ranger about to start on
his journey, in addition to his arms,
horse and equipment, should have
piece of canvas with which he
can made canvas shelter effective
' against any weather, rations ample
tor the journey, cooking utensils,
held glasses, map of his park and
contiguous territory, compass, note
book and pencil, AK, first-aid pack
ct, and telephone tester. AS soon
as he leaves the ranger station he
becomes scout who must oppose
his wits and energy against those
whose life is spent in the open
among the wild animals and who
have taken from these animals
those characteristics that we know
are possessed by the fox, the coy
ote, the timber wolf, and the noun
tain lion. He who rides the trail
In perfunctory and aimless man
ner is but joke to such men.
To cope with such people he
must learn from the Indian, who
avails himself of every sign and
indication that nature or wild life
can give. The Indian never places
himself upon the sky line until he
is thoroughly satisfied that there is
nothing within the range of vision
to detect him. He will lie some
times for an hour with his head
against bush, field glasses to his
eyes, and scan the country, and
then again scan it, for any sign of
human life or for any movement
among the wild animals which
indicates the stranger in their midst.
The scout does not remain on
the trail that has been beaten by
somebody else-his enemy would
not be there but he is taking ad-
vantage of every Inequality of the
ground, of swale and the coulees
the branches of trees along the
stream banks, and the shady side
of every ridge, observing carefully
Tor indications OF trails, fresh signs
of horse, or any imprint of the foot.
His eye must be so trained that
even the bending of the grass would
tell him story and would arouse
his suspicion.
He should never build a fire by
daylight in the country where he
has reason to believe the enemy
may be lurking. At night, in some
canyon or in some sheltered spot
where the blaze can be seen but a
very few feet, he can build his
small FIRE and cook his food for the
I evening and the next day. It is

It is tre- mendous tribute to the good hearted ness of the Dutch that they do not mind having their scrupulously clean houses defaced for the moment in this way. Scrubbed in white chalk over all the walls, shutters and fences, windows, tree trunks and pavements are the addresses of the frenzied refugees, trying to get in touch with their lost relations.
