1Erom Little Acorns."

When a few clerks In the old post
office, st. Martin's-le-Grand, Joined
forces to buy a chest Of tea for dis
tribution among themselves, they did
not dream that thereby they were
founding one Of the largest businesses
in the country, observes a writer In
London Tit-Bits. But, as fact, they
virtually established the Civil Service
Supply association, q trading concers
which now has paid-up capital OF
f353,92O.
Clear Ii the connection between the
act Of cooperation in its simplest form
and the present vast business. The
original IDEAL" was so successful that
other clerks joined the co-operators,
with the results that very soon two or
three chests of tea were bought ut q
time. Then. as the local grocers, find'
ing that the clerks wives did not want
tea, refused to supply them with
sugar, this commodity also was
bought in quantities, and both ten and
sugar were kept In q cupboard. which
became the first Of the Civil Service

ru,.s Aho,,t . "Mon.tsr. !,

According to the ancient writer's, the
ns nssilisk-sometimes called cOckartce-
was a monster to be greatly dreaded.
Its breath filed the air with deadly
poison and burned up vegetation, and
the glance Of its eye was fatal to both
man and beast. The only creature that
could face it and live, they said, was
the cock, and travellers were Advised %
take loudly Growing cocks with them
as protection against the monster. SO
much for superstition. AS matter OF
fact. the basilisk is harmless lizard
living a quiet Life In the woods ana
feeding ON insects. Its appearance,
however, is formidable, and it Is this,
perhaps, that gave it q bad name. IL
grows to a length Of from twenty-five
to thirty inches, including its tail
which Ia much longer than It's body.
Rising from It's head and inclnins
backward is a broad, wing-like e4pan-
sion which gives it some resemblance
to the flying lizard. The crest OF tms
exnansion is formed somewhat Ike q
crown, and that gave the basiiisk its
name. which is from the Greek WORD
meaning king.-Exchange.

Brandon the Exsoutlonse

June 20, 184g, was the day on which
Richard Brandon, official execunoner
for the city Of London, died, says the
Dundee Advertiser. Tradition has It
that he decapitated Charles !. and was
paid $3.50 for his pains, all In half
crowns, within half an hour after the
deed. He Is also reported to have been
presented with an orange stuck full Of
cloves and q handkerchief out Of the
kings pocket al soon as he was car
Red from the scaffold. Brandon was
at once offered 20 shillings for the or
ange, but he refused this SUM and att
erward accepted 10 shillings In q mar

the following entry under 1649: "Jme

Man Who Succeed.

Thomas e. Wilson, the Chicago pack
or, says In the American Magaxins:
1.-THE higher up he II the more de-
pendent an executive becomes on those
under him. The real success Of an ex-
ecutiye, 1t seems to me, rests on bis
ability to promote wisely, and at the
same time to keep the force working
In harmony and cOntentment. A little
jealousy here and there in an organ
ization can ruin its efficiency. I have
known men who had enough general
grasp Of things to have made great De.
partment managers, only they could
not get along harmoniously with those
about them. If a man can't get along
pleasantly with his associates he can
not successfully handle force Of men.
I never like to promote man to q re-
sponsible place IL he has failed to work
In hearty cooperation with the men
alongside Of him. When you hear men
say of their boss, He Is q good fellow
to work for you may know be u q
