Success Credited to
Exacfions of Poverty

Boys who have grown into success
full men will, as rule, say that the
greatest asset and blessing they en-
joyed was the exactions Of poverty,
the struggles they had to make
through which they kept their appe-
titles In check, In keeping with their
earnings; that frugality was necessary
because they had to make ends meet.
had to pay for their keep and could
only have what they were able to buy
after contributing to their families or
relatives. They will say that the self
denials they made for others were the
most valuable lessons on the road to
success, and that the practices forced
upon them by necessity lasted through
their business careers and made sue
cess possible. 1t Is hard for the boy
who earns a dollar q week to give
part Of it for his keep-but there Is
more in 1t than the mere contribu-
lions of the money. The boy is learn
ing-learning everything worth while.
Poor Is the boy who Is denied this
part of his education, 1t matters not
how great his money riches.-Macon

Addition to List of
Fruits Without Seeds

There have long been seedless Or
anges, lemons and grapefruit, and now
there are seedless apples.
A seedless fruit does not propagate
its own species. 1t CRAFTS itself on
branches grown from fruit with seeds
The seedy mother provides the fecun-
dity; the seedless fruit gives the pulp
and the flavor.
The idea Of seedlcss apple comes
from the seedless orange of Califor-
MIA, freak of nature discovered over
a hundred years ago. About 1920 a
missionary of Bahia, Brazil, discovered
a new kind Of orange growing wild
which contained seeds of propagation
not In its own body. but in little
sac at the top. He sent II of the
trees to the United States, and al.
though they did not live long, others
were budded from them, and are bud
ding still.
A Mrs. Eliza Tibbets gave us Wash
ington Navels, oranges without seeds.
One of the trees she planted in 1873
Is still alive and producing good fruit.
Next in favor come Valencias, with
about a seed apiece. 1t is as well
they retain it, for California grows
most Of the best oranges of the world,
and If there were no seeds there would
soon be no oranges.

Fool Friends Scored
BY Great Naturalist

Luther Burbank preferred his gar
den experiments to business ventures,
but the activities of his friends sue
ceeded in embrOiling him in business
relations with various people for more
than twenty years. His business VEN
lures not only turned out badly, but
they took considerable time from his
creative work.
II do not believe any of the men
who tried to exploit or subsidize me
or my work had base motives" he
wrote in the Saturday Evening Post.
"On the contrary, most of them were
actuated by a desire to increase my
usefulness and to widen the scope of
my experiments and to broadcast the
results over greater area.
Il would rather have five energetic
and competent enemies than one fool
friend; now and again my friends
have led me astray, and 1t has cost
me lot Of money, a world of trouble
and multitude of worries before I
got back on the main track again."

History's Pages Full
of Errors of Record

Aesop's fables are really not Aesop's
at all, but Babrius' fables. A Graeco-
Italian named Babrius wrote and COM
piled them several centuries after the
Phrygian fabulist's death, the date of
which Is given as 564. Some chron-
iclers say Aesop never lived at ALL
The fables he is said to have COM
posed are lost. Socrates and later
writers made versions of the Babrian
inventions, to which they gave Aesop's
name, thus bestowing Immortality up
on one sage and robbing another Of
his rightful laurels. A mistake in
computation by Sixth century chro-
nologist is responsible for the COM
mon and erroneous understanding
that Christ's birth was in the year L.
Christ was not born in the first year
Of the Christian era but about four
years before the beginning of that pc
Rod. Cinderella's slipper was made
not Of glass but Of sable. Noting these
and similar errors, Josh Billings once

Objects of Aversion
Hard to Undersfdnd

Even fruit and flowers have affected
people curiously. The secretary of
Francis I used to stop his nostrils
with bread If he saw a dish of apples
to prevent an otherwise inevitable
bleeding at the nose. A king of Po-
land had an antipathy both to the
smell and sight of this wholesome
fruit, and a family Of Aquitaine had a
hereditary hatred Of it. Gretry. the
composer, could not endure the scent
Of the rose; neither could Anne of
Austria. The mere sight Of the rose
was too much for Lady Heneage, bed
chamber woman to Queen Elizabeth
indeed, Kenelm Digby records that
her cheek became blistered when some
one laid a white rose upon it as she
slept. A violet was a thing of horror
to the Princess de Lamballe, while
tansy was amobinable to an earl of
Barrymore, and Scaliger grew pale be-
fore watercress.
The harmless cat has frequently
been an object Of aversion. Henry III
Of France had so great dislike to
cats that he tainted at sight of one,
and it was said of the duke of Schom-
berg, as 1t was said Of another IA
nous soldier of our time, that he
could not sit in the same room with
a cat.-John O. London's Weekly.

"Ghost Money"

Money" and other articles made
out Of tinfoil, and intended for the
special use Of departed spirits, pro-
vides the town Of Shaoching, China,
with curious and profitable indus

All day long the din of thousands
Of hammers pounding on anvils can
be heard, and the production of these
symbols for departed spirits is said
to bring In 100000 a year.
The symbolic money is made by
hand, the tin being hammered out on
anvils until a surprising thinness is
obtained. Although the money" Is
intended for the use Of the dead,
there Is considerable traffic in the
ashes Of the fires burnt at the tombs
where the money Is placed The
tin Is extracted from the ashes and

Sugar Cane in America

Sugar cane was introduced into the
New world shortly after its discovery,
and 1t Is recorded that in 1913 many
sugar mills were in operation on the
Island of Santo Domingo. 1t was not
until 1851, however. that the plant was
grown in continental America, as re-
suit of the importation of cuttings by
Jesuits in Louisiana. From that time
it was cultivated in a desultory man.
ner until the end Of the Eighteenth
century, when the failure Of indigo
and other crops forced the Louisiana
planters to turn their attention to the
manufacture of sugar as a source Of
revenue. Establishment of the Amer
lean sugar cane industry may be said
to date from 1895, when the first sue
cessful mill began operations on
plantation about six miles from New
Orleans.

The Cat

= The cat would make an excellent
he is seldom ruffied, never
loses his head, Is usually polite, has
admirable manners. and great aplomb,
and there is that sharp claw concealed
in the velvet glove to resent any in
trusion upon his interest or felicity.
But, above all, he has the diplomatic
virtue Of concealing what he thinks
Whereas, the dog opens out his whole
soul, the cat keeps it as close as an
oyster. There Is certainly nothing of
the new" or open" diplomacy about
the cat. He looks wise and maintains
a grave and dignified silence. He may
be cold, he may be selfish, but 1t must
be said In justice to the cat that he
does not make business Of minister
ing to human egoism-like the dog.
His own dignity is to him of very
much greater Importance; he lives his
own life, and goes his own way.-Lon-
don Morning Post.

Franklin Sa.D Day of
Woman in Business

Although desiring a quiet life in his
older years, Franklin could not retire.
One political Office after another
sought him out. He tried his best to
avert the Revolution, and his exami-
nation before the house of commons
In February, 1766, marks the zenith of
his intellectual powers.
In September, 1776. Franklin was
appointed envoy to France and sailed
soon afterward. Despite his seventy
years, no other American could have
accomplished the things he did. His
reputation had preceded him to
France. Great ladies sought his COM
pany; shopkeepers hung his portrait
on their walls and the rabble wor-
SHIPPED him. Under Franklin's influ-
ence. money was loaned the strug-
Cling colonies. He won from France
recognition Of the United States and
then the treaty Of alliance. This was
his last and most important work.
Biographers maintain that Franklin
more than any other great American
possessed the woman's viewpoint.
Some even maintain that his great sue
cesses were achieved because of this
quality; that the great French treaty
might not have been brought about
were 1t not for the homage paid the
first civilized American by the great
danes of Paris.
Certain 1t is that he was the means
Of starting the first American woman
in business, and he was first in
movement that has changed the pres
en:-day life of 100000 Americans.

Woman Accorded High
Rank in Intelligence

That Anatole France had high re-
gard for women may be gathered from
the conversation which took place be-
tween himself and his secretary,
Sander Kemeri, and which is reported
in her book, "Rambles With Anatole
France"
"The intelligence Of the woman is
very high and she is ready to 60 to
all extremes in asserting herself he
says. More than the man she is
aware Of the age in which she lives,
because she carries 1t within herself.
In our search for the history Of the
past it Is the woman who shows us
the way. 1t is she who makes US fore
see the future, it is the woman, heroic,
sentimental. romantic, emancipated,

Adams breast, near his heart, brought
to life by his ardent desire. How
could she be anything else but his
image? Therefore the woman's des-
tiny depends on the man."

Wife's Faith in Columbus

If 1t be true that there is a woman
in the background of every notable
achievement, there seems to be justifi-
cation in calling Dona Felipa, the wife
of Christopher Columbus, that influ-
ence in the life Of the man who was
later to discover the Western world
When Columbus talked to her about
his exploration enthusiasts, she was
sympathetic and his ambitions appear
to have found grateful nurture at
their fireside. There is a tale of how
Dona Isabella, Columbus mother-in-
law, produced an old box containing
maps and logs-piously-kept relics Of
her husbands. 1t may be that some
thing found in this box prompted in
Columbus the conception, later to be-
come flaming article of faith, of a
land beyond the horizon.-New York

Old Man in Picture
Rather Out of Place

A landscape artist sold picture to
a wealthy woman. The latter soon
became tired Of it, because, she de-
clared, it lacked animation. So she
sent for another artist and asked him
to paint man or woman on the road
that ran through the middle of the
painting.
The artist did so, and when he met
the man who had painted the original
work he told him what he had done.
II had the temerity to alter land
scape of yours the other day." he said.
1T was one you sold to Mrs. Jones.
She wanted a figure painted in, so
added an old man walking down the
road?"
Road? What road? There's no
road in that picture!"
"Why, yes, there is" said the other.
"A road runs through the middle of
the canvas"
"Why," cried the first artist, indig-
nantly, that's not road! That's a
river!"

Shopping in China

Finding ones way in Chinese cities
has its difficulties. Capt. Robert Dol
lar, well known American steamship
man, once set out to visit a wholesale
store in Chefoo. He describes his ex-
perience as follows:
First we went through grocery
store into courtyard containing beds
of flowers and shrubs; from there we
followed q crooked alley three feet
wide into another courtyard, then
through another three-foot alley into
a small open square. Bordering this
square was the wholesale establish
ment we were In search of. There is.
however, nothing unusual in finding
important stores in such obscure To-
calities In that country.
