Why M>ny Yoilng Men Pail. One trouble with many young men who go out in business is, they try to do to many things at once. The result is that they don’t know as much as they ought to about any one thing, and thoy naturally fail. The trouble with young men who work on salaries is that they are always afraid of do¬ ing more than they are paid for. They don’t enter into their with the right spirit. To get on nnd be appreciated a young man must do more than he is paid for. When he does something his oni ployer has not thought of he shows that he is valuable. Men *r« always willing to pay good sal¬ aries to people who will think for them. The man who only carries out the thoughts and ideas af an¬ other is nothing more than a tool. Men who can be rolied upon are always in demand. The scarcest thing in the world is a thoroughly reliable man.—Sparta Islunaelite. Don’t KiOK OR KNOCK. Don’t kick or knock or balk. If your neighbor is prosperous let him prosper. Don’t grunt growl or grumble. Say a good word for him, and let it go at that. Don’t be a knocker. Your turn will cone No one man is the whole show. If you see the town is moving along good about it. Help things along. Shove a little. Push. Try and get. a little of the benefit yourself. Don’t stand around like a chilly old cadaver. Don’t waste your time fooling sore 1 ecauso some other fellow has a little more sand and sensejthaii you have. Do a little hustling yourself. Don’t be a knocker. If you say a good word say it like a prince. It you are full of bile and feel disposed to say something’tnean keep your mouth ■hut. Don’t be a knocker, No man over gets rich or happy mind¬ ing everybody’s business but his own No man ever helped himself up p rmanontly by ktnckir.g hig neighbor down. Give up a kind word. Give it liberally. It won’t oosh you n cent; you may want one yourself some day. You may have thousand* to-day, and next day he without the price of a shave, So don’t he a knocker.

They were snatched from my belt, the case 1 wore there being torn away. I spoke of it to Mr. Dorney, and the story went round the theater. Some¬ how the reporters got hold of it, nnd they made a great to do about it. It wns really too had of them, I felt it the more because i had managed to keep a much more serious theft an ab¬ solute secret. That was at the time when so much fun was being made of the “robbery of jewels” form of thc at lien l ad ve 11 isemeut. I had a very valuable pair of earrings taken from my pocket most cleverly, and I was on m.v way to play for a charity too! However, 1 kept my loss quite to my¬ self.

One curious incident In the siege of Badajos may he related. The day after the assault two Spanish ladles, the younger a beautiful girl of i t, ap¬ pealed for help to two officers of the rifles, who were passing through one of the streets of the town. Their dresses were torn, their ears, from which rings had been roughly snatched, were ’ !cod¬ ing. and to escape outrage cr death they cast themselves on the protection of the first British officers they met. One of the officers was Captain Harry Smith of the rifles. Two years later he married the girl he had saved in a scene so wild. Captain Harry Smith in after years served at the Cape as Sir Hurry, and this Spanish girl, as Lady Smith, gave her name to the his¬ toric town which Sir George White de¬ fended with such stubboru valor.-• “Wellington's Men.” Tliey Were Atteutlve.

They are then placed on the ‘‘wax tree,” which is a slump varying from 3 to 12 foot in height, with numerous branches rising from the top. similar to the pollard willow. The wax insects are maqe into small packets of 20 or 30 galls, which arc iu closcd in a leaf of the wood oil tree, fastened together with rice straw. These packets are suspended close to the branches under which they hang. On emerging from the galls the insects creep rapidly up the branches, to which they attach themselves and begin form¬ ing a coating of wax that in about three months attains a thickness of al nost a quarter of an inch. The branches are then cut off, and after removing as much of the wax as possible l>y band they are put in a hot tie of hot water, when the wax floats on the surface and the in sects finish their term of usefulness by going to the bottom.
