WORDS OP WISDOM. llowly. ost great works are accomplished Moral strength is the highest kind of health. A friend should bear his friend’s in firmities. He who buys hath need of a hundred eye3, and he who sells hath enough of one. In adversity men must discover pru dence; in prosperity, folly and extrava gance. A merchant should familiarize himself with every line of goods which he handles The way to gain a good reputation is ®“^ r ' eavor t0 >’ ou desire to „ frTS yo'u Sot* T and because J do erythim* Seasons of depression in trade are gen erally followed by years of success and prosperity. As long as woman has to work to sup port government she should have a voice ia its management, Some people talk so smoothly and fluently that they almost seem to believe what they say themselves. It is love by proxy when a woman ac cepts the advice of another man how she shall treat her husband. The nerve that never relaxes, the eye that never blanches, the thought that never victory. wanders, are the harbingers of Some things, after all come to the poor that can’t get in at the doors of the rich, whose money somehow blocks up the entrance way. To read aloud is to assure one’s self of what one is reading. There are people who read very loud, and who have the appearance of giving themselves their word of honor as to what they are pe rusing. The best preliminary preparation for even the studies of a specialist is a lib eral education Such an education con nects hi in with the wide circle of thought from and knowledge, and saves him narrowness and hobbies. The man who can do one th ng best is usually a man who could have done other things well. Gossip About Bogota.

This Grenada region was originally occupied by the ( h’boha Indwa*, stho~>t sMHt s wi t t of American Buddhists, and numbered three-quarters of a million. Their capi tal was called Bocata, which has been corrupted. The elevation of the Capital is about 8750 feet, and, therefore, no body can work there more than five hours a day; but one hundred thousand people live in the Capital, which is a dull place, mainly built ot adobe houses.

The society of Bogota is exclusive and they speak Spanish, but the upper classes make pre tentions to French. The politicians of Colombia have more influence than in any three other Presidents country, but out of thirty there seventeen have been Generals. They draw their institu tions from America, iheir finances from England, their moralsjfrom the French, and their eloquence from the Spanish. Writers and poets abound in the coun try. Church and State are perfectly separated. There are some Protestant Ministers in the land. Paper money is general. Some of the banks pay thirty percent, dividends a year.
