THE POWER OF OBSERVATION It Should Bs Cultivated Even In the Most Ordinary Things—A Faculty That Is Possessed by All, but That Is Developed by the Few. It is the hope and desire of all par ents that their children shall make some sort of a mark in the world when they grow up. They do not in the ma jority of cases expect that their off spring will become famous and make names that will live for ages, hut they cherish the thought that they will be successful men and women in some profession or business. That is the keynote—that success shall be tlieii portion. Yet it is a fact that most parents neglect or pay very little attention te one part of the child’s education which is of the highest importance They de not train the perceptive faculties. Power of observation will help you more than anything else in your strug gle for existence, and yet there are comparatively few people who are keen observers. One small fact will prove this latter statement. The man who observes everything, he who sees everything lie looks at, is singled out either as an Inquisitive person or a clever one, and this shows that he is an exception. It is easy to give instances of this lack of perception even in the ordinary things of life. Some years ago an art Ist engaged in a Loudon linn of print ers had to draw an advertisement in which the central figure was a cock in the act of crowing. Nothing seemed easier, but when he set to work tin artist found himself confronted by a difficulty—does the cock show its tongue prominently when it crows? Every one of the hundred men employed bv tbe firm had seen a cock crow scores of times, yet not one of them could answer the question. The artist had to go to a friend who kept fowls and chase the poor rooster round and round the yard until it crowed. A schoolmaster, wishing to test the perception of his boys, asked thei how many times they had seen a cow or pictures of that animal and found, as he had expected, that all the boys had seen the creature more times than they could remember. Then lie offered to give small prizes to the boys who could correctly answer this question: “Are a cow’s ears above, below, in front of or behind its horns?” Only two boys gained prizes, and their an swers were guesswork. Now sit down and test yourself in some such simple manner. You have all seen a horse “down.” Can you de scribe how it rises? Does it get up on its fore feet first and then on its hind feet, or does it kneel first, then get on its hind feet and finally on its fore feet? However, you need not coniine your self to the animal kingdom in testing your perceptive faculties. Many sub jects will suggest themselves to you. As an excuse for this want of obser vatlou it is often urged that "a man can’t know everything,” but the excuse is a bad one. There is a great differ ence between knowing little or nothing and knowing everything. When the faculty has been trained it requires no more effort to note the points of the object looked at than it does to glance at that same object and come away none the wiser. The chances of success in life are on the side of man who knows cer tain things because he has learned about them by using ins senses instead of having to go to a book for all that he wishes to know. Books are indis pensable, as there are so many things which cannot come within the range of our observation, but wherever possible we should use our senses to acquire knowledge at first hand. This will explain why men who can not read or write have built up sub stantial businesses. They have made use of the power possessed by all, but cultivated by very few. The perceptive faculty must le train ed during childhood and youth. After the completion of the twentietli year very little progress can be made. A grown man is unable to develop his powers of observation to any satisfac tory degree. Y’outb is full of energy, and that is the time to inculcate the lesson that we should see ail that our eyes rest upon. It should be the object of every par ent to teach his child to note every ob ject that comes in his way. When out for a walk in a park the child should be told to observe the shapes of the leaves on the different trees, the pal ing of the color of animals toward the under part of the body, and so on, and should be told that wheu asked a ques tion on the subject be must be prepar ed to say that it is so, not that he thinks it is. All children have inquiring minds, and after a walk or two, coupled with such instruction as we have mention ed, you will find the child making great'progress aliu'acquiring'a quality that will be invaluable in after life. One of the methods adopted by H<m dln, the conjurer, for quickening tht perception of his son was to make him walk rapidly past a shop window or a stall on which a uumber of articles were displayed and then write down a list of the objects noticed. At first ouly half a dozen articles were per ceived during the moment occupied in passing the store or window, but after having done it once a day for a month the boy was able to make a list of forty objects.—Tearson’s Weekly. CHANGED HIS MIND. Influence of a Game of Golf Upon a Man’s Life. A New York pastor received a call in his study one morning not long ago from a man with whom lie had a pleasant but uot intimate acquaint ance. And the visitor told him with out much ado that he had called on a peculiar errand. “Some time ago," lie said, “as you know, I lost my wife. I have no chil dren, I have no kinsfolk, and 1 am very lonely in the world. Last week, by an unlucky speculation, l lost my whole fortune. 1 am therefore w ithout compauionship, without occupation, without money. lam too old to start again, and 1 have no joy in life as ir is. I have deliberately decided, there fore, to commit suicide. And I called to tell you of my purpose and to ask the favor of you that when my body Is found you will make such an explana tion as your good judgment and kind ly feeling toward me may suggest. I have come simply to ask this favor and not to argue the question, which 1 have settled for myself. If you do me this last service I shall be very grate ful.” The preacher said little and was far too wise to undertake to dissuade him, but he permitted the man to say all that he had to, say without interrup tion. Then as he was going away the preacher called to him and said: “I have not seen you on the golf links for some time. You use to en joy the game.” “Yes." said the other. “Well, go out and play one more game today before you carry out your purpose." The man smiled for the first time and went to the golf course aud-he is living yet.—World’s Work. Old Tims Gas Charges. The price of gas in the early part of the last century is shown by a sched ule of charges issued by the Liverpool Gaslight company in the year 1817. Instead of so much per cubic foot be ing levied each individual burner was charged for, and the price varied ac cording to the hour at which the light was to be extinguished. Thus for using one No. 1 Argand burner up til! 8 p. m. £3 per annum had to be paid. i'or the right to keep it alight until f> £3 18s. was the figure, while those roistering blades who sat up till 10. 11 or 12 had to disburse £4 10s„ £b 12s. and £0 Bs. respectively. Imagine the gas bill at a house where ten or twelve burners are flaring away until tlie small hours if such a method of taxa tion were In force nowadays!—Liver pool Post. AS TO LOSING MONEY. A Case Showing the Importance a Ten Dollar Bill May Reach. “To some men,” said a man now of amplest means, “the loss of SIU,(MMJ might be a joke, and then to some the loss of a ten dollar bill might be a tragedy. “Poor? Why, we were so poor that we had to count every cent, every pen ny. Not that we were miserable. We were very far from that. Asa matter of fact, we wore happy, but we cer tainly did have all the time to sail very close to the wind. “There were four of us—wife, two children and myself—and, bless you. how we did have to figure and scrimp to make both ends meet. I’ve seen the time, many a time, when a nickel was of great importance to us, wheu it was the last cent for carfare. 1 often think what a blessing it was that we were none of us ever sick; that nothing ever happened to us. I don’t know what we'd done if there had. “I was going to tell you what it might be to some folks to lose a ten dollar bill. “Ten dollars was the amount of our monthly rent, and whatever else we did we always saved out of my week’s pay the weekly proportion of the rent, to have it ready when it was due. I always used to get a ten dollar bill in my pay envelope, and when it came to the last Saturday in the mouth we just used to fake tlie ten dollar bill out of the envelope to pay the rent with, and then we had the amount we’d saved out of three weeks to go on for cur rent expenses. “Well, one last Saturday that hap pened to come three days before the end of the month we took the ten dol lar bill out of the envelope as usual for the rent and as usual my wife put it away—she always looked after the finances—and there we were all com fortable and happy, with the next month's rent ail ready, and then on S UMMER Ra TES Bagwell Business College Georgia’s Leading Business Training School A limited number of Scholarships are offered, at the following special rates beginning May Ist and ending July 15: $45.00, Unlimited Scholarship, Bookkeeping, $30.00 45.00, Unlimited Scholarship, Shorthand, 35.00 80.

ATLANTA PHONE 8069 the last day of the month, when -she went to get it out to have it handy when the landlord came she couldn't find it! “If that wasn’t a tragely I don’t know a tragedy when 1 meet it. I don’t suppose I took it quite so hard as she did, and I'd have shown It as lit tle as I could anyway on her account, but to her it was nothing less than a calamity. “When the children had gone to bed we tore the house apart. Wo looked and looked and looked into every nook and corner over and over again, but ♦ hat ten dollar bill, with all Unit It meant to us—and I doubt if you can imagine how much it did mean—was gone. That was the first tiling we had on our minds when we woke up in the morning, and gloomy enough for us that morning was. And tlien when I was eating my breakfast in our mod est dining room she looked in at the door from the kitchen, and ‘l’ve found it!’ she said, and so she had, just where three days before she had hid den it away, and so was our great gloom changed to Joy—to joy with a large, large J. “Y’es, sir. We got more now, by con siderable, and now she lias what she wants; now she doesn’t have to skimp. In these days I take her home myself now and then u ten dollar bouquet. We can afford it. But I never shall forget ns long as I live how we felt when we thought we’d lost that ten dollar bill or the Joy that came to us when we found it, for, you see, how a loss strikes you depends so much on how much you’ve got.”—New Y’ork Sun. Climbs Up the Trunk. The native elephant driver never has to bother with a step ladder in mount ing his beast after lie lias trained him for a little time, for tbe easiest way to get up is to ascend by way of the trunk. Standing in front of the ele phant the driver grasps him by the ears, this being a signal that he wishes to mount, and the obedient monster promptly arches ids trunk so that the master can easily step upon it and go right on up to the top of the elephant’s head. The Smuggled Box. A joker had some fun with the cus toms officials at New Y’ork some years ago. A servant had gone ashore from a German liner with a basket and was about to leave the pier when a passen ger whispered to a customs officer that he had better see what the basket con tained. Following the tip. the basket bearer was detained, and a wooden box was found among a lot of soiled linen. The box contained another and this still another box, the third secure ly fastened with screws. When these were removed a card was discovered on which was written in throe lan guages, “This Is the Ist of April.
