Novel Way to Promote Men.

IF 1 have a job to fill, and a man
who / think will exactly fit it, | do not
90 to him and tell him So" writes a
factory executive in System, the mag
azine of business. "Instead, l hnd
some opportunity to tell him about the
Job incidentally, perhaps just as one
of the problems l am having to meet,
and without connecting it with him at
all. Usually, if he is as well fitted
for the work as I think he is, he gives
me an opening to ask him If he would
like to try it-if he himself has not
already asked for the chance to try 1t.
ut is a good deal better, / believe,
to let the man take the job by his
own choice this way than just to give
him the job. You have his unintiu'
enced opinion as well as your W
then as to his fitness for 1t. And the
responsibility for his making good
rests on him rather than you. Which
means, usually, that he will try JUS
SO much harder to make good"

Reautifu, Yellowstone Lake.

The Yellowstone lake is a beauti-
FIJI sheet of water nesting in the
mountains, nearly 5000 feet above
the sea. It's waters flow northward,
forming the Yellowstone river, a trlou-
torv of the Missouri. To many per-
sons. the falls and canyon OF this
river are the greatest wonders OF the
mark. Soon after leaving the lake, the
stream narrows and %quickens, and the
water leaps 100 feet directly down
ward. A short distance farther II
tumbles 308 feet, or almost twice the
height of Niagara. The river then
runs between steep walls, which rise
1000 feet above it. This canyon is
somewhat winding, with numerous
bold cliffs jutting far out into the
abyss: and from these cliffs grand
views may be obtained. Far below
one sees the silvery stream, too ais
tant to be heard as 1t dashes along
Across the chasm, a half mile away
dark green pines fringe the bank, ano
between the water and these WOODS
are g%orgeously colored rock walls, a

troubles to the end of its days. In
this confederation Austria, backed Dy
the states of South Germany, had the
preponderance of power. The reyolu-
tionary movement which swept Eu-
rome In 1S4S shook all Germany. In
BERLIN Frederick William was obliged
to make terms with the revolutionists
and at one time the Austrian emperor
was driven from his capital only TO
be reinstated by force of arms. The
question of succession to the throne
of the duchies of Schleswig and Hol-
stein was in agitation and Prussia de-
clared war on Denmark. The Russian
car, who as representative of the ell

house of Gottorp, %sovereigns OF the
duchies, was personally interested
