The foundations for success in business are work, perseverance and character. Viillerent men who have triumphed hi various spheres of busi- ness may set down their own exper- iences and views in other ways, but you Will practically rind that the summing up comes to those three items in the end. I remember men Who set to work theoretically and practically., witil teal intent to sacceect tor all Chap, says the British financier, Sir WM. Raynor. On the other hand, I have known men who never -troubled a bit 'about the theoretical or scientific . of their trade, but went on grabbing week after week with emir own native shrewdness and 'intuition —men who eventually made huge sue - eases of their businesses. So much depends, you see, on natural talent, individual temperament, and the courage to apply what knowledge one acquires in the business. He 'would be a very bold, and per- haps even rash, man who dared to lay down 'any hard and fast line, and say with assurance, "That way leads to success!" And yet the three char- acteristics whigtit I suggested at the start would b s efficient and cer- tain as any will could be for putting a young fellow on the high road to it. By Sheer Force of Will. 1 know a man Who determined when young to succeed in whatever he took up, whether "it were football, singing a song, or his trade. He cer- tainly did excel in all that he thus took in hand, and exeelled to a great degree, too. To begin with, he had no educational facilities, and he knew little or nothing about the job he undertook; but he acquired knowl- edge, power and ability by sheer atrength of will, coupled with stern resolve to succeed. To -day he is a prominent York- slaireman with a huge concern, and heaparof money. His personality en- abled him to grip ,s. business lie had known nothing about at the begin- ning, and his smartness in seizing op- portuities bee placed his fortune on a .sure foundation. . He has won Isis present notable position by sheer in- domitable pluck, hard work, red per- severance. He has not spared him- self, nor has he been •spared. Ag*alb, I know a man who started 0' as a woollen manufacturer who could not even read, and only learned to sign his name after much trouble. But by deer ability in manipulating raw materials he scored a big suc- cess. He never kept any beds in all his huge business, except penny memor- andum books in which he made en- tries of purchases and sales. Hut, owing to his lack of educatien, such entries could with difficulty be read or understood by any but himself. He thus tarried out transactions com- prising thousands of pounds at a time, and he died a wealthy man. Why do -I mention these cases? To show you that education in itself is not absolutely necessary to snake a successful business man. It is not nearly half so important as native shrewdness, perseverance, hard work, and character, • Yet I am, of course, a great be- liever in education. I do my utter- most to support it in every way, for I know it is an enormous help to a young man or woman in business. If many 'of our business knights who live made folannes by trade had been better educated, 'they would, have done better still. Don't Rely on "Luck." Naavertheless, education without in- tdition, tact, hard work, or persever- ance and, most of all, without char- acter, is but a broken reed to rely on in trade and commerce. Wealth is, after all, only what is produced by us, either by mental or physical labor. It stand's to reason, therefore, that if a man would be- come rich in this world's goods, or in knowledge of things or men, he must work hard and long to acquire such knowledge and skill. And he will be rewarded in proportion to his work. Despite a lucky stroke occasionally here and there in a man's life, I am a firm believer in the motto that no- thing really comes by dance to a man which is of much value beyond the ordinary. Success has usually been prepared for, striven for, helped onward by his own innate ability, work, or Met in ways the exterior world often failed to recognize. Hard work is the best friend any man ever embraced. I would say to all youthful begin- ners that, business is like the land— the more.you put into it the snore you will get out. If you put nothing in, you will get precious little out; if you tend it in ,desultory feshlion, you neaps can only expect an indifferent harv- est, if any at all, With the advent of the Egyptian Pharaohs much thought and care was given to the perfecting and develop- ment of the chariot, and for more than 2,000 years it was the leading Weigle of the world. , a.a.saasilaseasanoteaaansaissale-assalaalaSsaaalasaaa IN SOUTH AFRICA EVIDENCE OF UNJUST DEALINGS WITH NATIVE TRIBES. German Police Aided the Traders and Furnished No Redress to Die. 'tressed Colonists. abere are two opinions concerning. the 'right of any nation, however act- avatioecl, to subdue and to govern an 'uncivilized or partly civilized people, even when the government is just and beneficent. There can.be no two opin- ions regarding a nation that uses its power to oppress and rob 'its weaker neighbor. It was the Germans' own deeds in their Africau colonies 'that made it impossble to restore those colonies after the war. In an article on the German rule in Southweet Afri- ca, 'printed in the Fortnights* Review, the writer quotes the testimony of an under chief, Daniel Korego, of Omaru- ru, concerning the reasons for the na- tive rebellion of 1904. Our people. he said, were , being robbed and deceived right and left by German traders; our cattle were driven by force; we were flogged and illareatocl and got no redress. In fact, the German police assisted the traders instead of protecting us. Traders would come along and offer goods. When we said that we had no cattle to spare, as the rinderpest had killed so many, they said they would give us credit. Often, when we refused to buy goods, the trader would simply unload goods and leave 'them, saying that we could pay when we liked; but in a few weeks be would come back and demand his money or cattle. He would then pick out the very best cows he could find. Theft and Robbery, Very often one man's cattle were taken to pay other peOple's debts. If we .objected and tried to resist, the police woula, be sent for, and, what With floggings and the threats of shooting, it was useless for our poor people to resist. If the traders had been fair and reasonable, we should never have complained; but this was not trading at all—it was theft and robbery. They fixed their own prices for the goods, but would never let us place our own valuation on the cattle. For a bag of meal they took eight cows, which were equivalent to six- teen oxen; for the Hereros would al- ways give two oxen for the cow, She is a breeder, and we loved to increase our herds. For a pair of boots they took a cow. ,Riost traders took only cows, for they were farmers also and wanted more cattle. Often, when credit had been given, they came back and claimed what they called interest 'oh the debt. Once I got a bag of meal on credit, and later, the trader came and took eight cows for the debt and two more cows for what he called credit; 'thee it cost me ten cows altogether, Just before the rebellion in 1003 things tot worse than ever. All the traders Cosine round and began to collect debts.. Often their claims were quite false, and they were deliberately stealing our cattle. We complained to the German police, but they told us that we were all liars, and that the word of a German would al- ways bo taken, even if half a dozen of us had the impudence to Contradict him, That made us feel es if it were just as well not to be alive. Our people cried and lamented the loss of their stock; our poorer people no longer had enough milk to drink; all our cows were going, and every month saw our property dwindle away. We saw our chiefs, who complained and complained until they were tired. No heed was taken of them, and we had no courts of law to which to appeal for Justiee. Export trade is not _a hidden art like witchcraft or fortune-telling. The Canadian Trade Commission be- lieves dozens of films in Canada could score in the foreign field 6f they formed "groups of industries." Extremes meet in the types of samples of goods for the Roumanian Government sent for the Canadian Trade Commrissioll's inspection. A few are perfect; many are slovenly and 'unattractive.

This May Not Apply to You—But Read It All the Same. The art of conversation is worth studying. There are many rules to be observed, but they are all simple, and easy to remember. Ish'st, you must know what to talk about. The following rules will help you: 1. Choose a subject which interests you. If it interests you it will prob- ably, interest your audience. 2. Talk about things of which you have -seine special knowledge, for then you are sure to tell your audience something new and interesting. Next you must know how to talk. 1, Talk modestly, Otherwise you will annoy your hearers by your ,self. assumed superiority. 2. Talk cheerfully and hopefully. Otherwise you will depress your friends, and they will wish to be rid, of you. 3. Speak cbaritably or you will- be- come a mere soandal-monger—a per- son, to be avoided. 4. Show an inti in your subject by your voice, and manner, Interest is infectious, and your audience will soon catch the infection. The rules about when to talk are all "Don'ts." • 1. Don't talk to a person who is tired and wishes to rest Don't talk to a person who is reading. Don't, talk to anyone who has something bet- ter to do than, to listeu to,you. 2, Don't talk if you yourself are tired or depressed; for then your con- versation will be dull and depressing. 3. Don't be afraid that'if you remain silent your friends will think you dull. In any case it is better to be passively dull than actively boring. 4. Dont hold forth if there are more interesting persons present. Try to draw them out by asking them ques- tions, and showing an Interest in them. You must also know how to select your audience;, that is, to whom you should talk. Therefore: 1. Talk to the pereon who is most likely to be interested in your conver- sation. 2. If you are a man you should pre. ferably address your conversation to a woman, and vice -versa. Mbn and women have a different outleok. A man's view of life will often be new and interesting to a woman; when it will seem obvious and commonplace to a man. 3. Avoid talking about your work to a man who is engaged in the same business as yourself. Don't talk shoe. On the other hand, your work may be supremely interesting to a man en- gaged in some other business. These rules may not make you a brilliant conversationalist, for that re. quires special gifts, but if you follow them you will never bore your &lends, and they will always be glad to listen to you. The WayNof Peace. Saviour, in pity come to earth once more, Man cannot find true peace without Thine aid; Thou art its Prince, take Thou Thine honored place, And teach the rulers how Thy peace is made„ The cleansing drops still ooze from out Thy side, Oh let them fall upon the harts of those Who represent the nations; Saviour, • heal Their leprosy, true source of all our woes. Lay Thy Sacred hands upon their sightless eyes That they may see, nor falter from the way; The sparrows fall—and Thou hast counted those— The nations fall, more dear to Thee than they. Oh, 'elan Saviour, grant Thy people grace, Pour righteous truth into the minds of men, Teach them, treknow, and fear, and fol- low Thee, Bless Thou the world and give it peace again.

What the Sun Does. Letting the sun shine for e given time upon the blackened cover of a box filled with water or some other liquid, and noting the rise in tempera- ture, affords us a method of approxi. mating the amount of heat given off by the sun. By such a method it is estimated that the earth receives every second from the sun enough heat to raise 600,000,000 tons of ice water to the boiling point, or to melt 480,000,000 tons of lee without change in temperature. If this is the amount that the earth menses, think of the amount that must be'passing off into space and other planets. This amount has been computed to be 2,200,000,000 times as great as that which the earth receives. Scientists have shown that the amount of heat received by us from the sun may vary as much is five per cent. in less than a week. 1 Ask for fantod% and take no other. Queer Titles of Books. 'Have you ever thought that writers may some day run out of titles for books? There is no need for alarm; there will be titles almost as long as the're are stories—perhaps longer, Here are a few title's of Woks pub. 'Jelled in Cromwell's tithe, and they are, almost as odd 'as they are long: "Seven Sobs of a Sorrowful Soul for Sin; or, The Seyen Penitential Pealias, of the Princely Prophet David, whereunto are also added William Humius' Handful of Honeysuckles, and Divers Godly ,and Pithy Ditties, now newly Augmented." "A Sigh of Sorrow for the Sinners of Zion, breathed out of a Hole -in the Wall of an earthly Vessel, 'known among Men by the Name of Samuel Fish (a Quaker who had been im- prisoned)." "Eggs of Charity, layed by the - Chickens of the Covenant, and boiled 'with the Water of Divine Love. Take ye and Bat." . "A Shot aimed at the Devills Head- quarters through the Tube of the Can- non of the Covenant." "Hooks and Eyes for Believers' Breeches." '> Rome became the capital of United Italy in 1870. TRAVEL BY FLOWERY WAYS. There are many who believe that big corporations and industrial co corns only look to the material sid of things and work machine-Hke f the production of 'wealth, regardle of the winter's snow and unheeding' the summer's bloom. This M often a erroneous idea, for it is general] realized that man, does not altogeth live by offices and pens and paper and engines and other accoutremen of labor—he requires trees and shrub eflowers and the loveliness nanatdur The Canadian Pacific Railway ha. always paid considerable attention -.t the development of garden plots alon its lines. It is just thirty years ag since a C.P.R. employee raised a fe varieties of 'flower seeds in his tievn garden, and distributed them amongs his frienda in the service of the corn patsy, with, the object of pronaotin flotver gardening at the various sta Coon plots of the railway. A vast ad Vance has been made since then; an now the company possesses a Flora Department with headquarters a Windsor Street Station; Montreal, an a Floral Committee which embrace members from the Eastern and Wept ern lines. It Is under the guidance 0 this department that the various sta tion plots and ether properties of the company are cleared up and beauti fled, Thousands of packages of, flower seeds, bulbs, trees, and, shrubs, an large quantities of grass, seeds an fertilizers have been distributed Mir ing the last feav years to station agents:section foremen, caretakers o round houses, and all employees liv ing pu the property of the, company Travellers on Ilse line observe the happy risen/0 achieved. The cultiva tion work is done M all casee by the employees themselves, who in mat cases acquired the art of amateur gar doting 'by taking their' lessons from leaflets issued by the Floral Depart- ment. The, beet material is always provided. Amongst the varieties of trees supplied are: Maple, birch, beech' poplar and catalpa. Some of the Aruba ere: weigella, berberries, laurel leaf willow and sumac. Peren- nials distributed are: 'Oriental pop- pies, iris, phlox, veronica, gaillardia, larkspur, columbine, sweet william, and 'pinks. Redding plants used in - elude: geraniums, Coleus, canna, pan- sies, asters, verbenas, petunias, and castor oil plants. Standard seed pack- ets sent 'out contain: Nasturtiutas, alyssum, mignonette, sweet peas, phlox and kochia. Ferns and houpe plants are given to the larger sta- tions. The establishment and main- tenance of the gardens and selection of the seeds, bulbs, and plants are supervised by Mr. H. M. Winnegar, forester of the company. The encouraging influence of flower growing on the C.P,R. during the last thirty years has in a large measure assistedk in the Inauguration of floral societies all over the country. There are hundreds of C.P.R. con- nected with these societies, and most of them received their first lesson in flower culture at the,C.P.R. flower beds. Flowers have improved the railway stations, and inspired by the' beauty of the stations, residents 'of the towns have .plaated towels and improved the appearances, of their, homes. In every division of the C.P.R. Prizes are given every year for the best displays, and many of these ama- teur railway gardeners have tried their products With success against all comers at the big Canadian and American flower exhibitions.

No Need For Haste, The ministefof a parish in Scotland was walking, one misty night through a street in the vllage when he fell in- to a deep hole. After vainly trying to make his escape from the uncom- fortable position, lie began to shout for help. A laborer, passing, heard his cries and, looking down, asked who he was. The minister told him and at the same time evinced omen agitation. The laborer, however, took the situa- tion in a very philisiphical manner and remarked: "Wee:, weal, ye needna kick up sic a noise. Ye'll no be needed afore Sawbath, an' this is only Wednesday nicht." He Understood. The aeroplane banked and looped and volplaned, and then climbed till almost beyond the gaze of the spec- tators. - Then a gasp broke from the crowd. It was falling! Down, down it came, over and over, twisting and. swerving, until it appeared about to strike the earth. Then it suddenly righted, and Thaw away. "Ha, ha!" laughed the aviator. "See that? Ninety per cent. of those people thought we were going to crash." "Well," said his passenger faintly, "fifty per cent, of the crew thought the same!" Fate Was Against Him., "I guess I'm about the unluckiest fellpw alive," asserted the long, nar- row, mournful looking individual. "What seems to be the trouble?" in- quired his sympathetic companion, or- dering something' consoling for them both. "I'm jest naturally unlucky—Fate's got it in for me.

It Is under the guidance 0 this department that the various sta tion plots and ether properties of the company are cleared up and beauti fled, Thousands of packages of, flower seeds, bulbs, trees, and, shrubs, an large quantities of grass, seeds an fertilizers have been distributed Mir ing the last feav years to station agents:section foremen, caretakers o round houses, and all employees liv ing pu the property of the, company Travellers on Ilse line observe the happy risen/0 achieved. The cultiva tion work is done M all casee by the employees themselves, who in mat cases acquired the art of amateur gar doting 'by taking their' lessons from leaflets issued by the Floral Depart- ment. The, beet material is always provided. Amongst the varieties of trees supplied are: Maple, birch, beech' poplar and catalpa. Some of the Aruba ere: weigella, berberries, laurel leaf willow and sumac. Peren- nials distributed are: 'Oriental pop- pies, iris, phlox, veronica, gaillardia, larkspur, columbine, sweet william, and 'pinks. Redding plants used in - elude: geraniums, Coleus, canna, pan- sies, asters, verbenas, petunias, and castor oil plants. Standard seed pack- ets sent 'out contain: Nasturtiutas, alyssum, mignonette, sweet peas, phlox and kochia. Ferns and houpe plants are given to the larger sta- tions. The establishment and main- tenance of the gardens and selection of the seeds, bulbs, and plants are supervised by Mr. H. M. Winnegar, forester of the company. The encouraging influence of flower growing on the C.P,R. during the last thirty years has in a large measure assistedk in the Inauguration of floral societies all over the country. There are hundreds of C.P.R. con- nected with these societies, and most of them received their first lesson in flower culture at the,C.P.R. flower beds. Flowers have improved the railway stations, and inspired by the' beauty of the stations, residents 'of the towns have .plaated towels and improved the appearances, of their, homes. In every division of the C.P.R. Prizes are given every year for the best displays, and many of these ama- teur railway gardeners have tried their products With success against all comers at the big Canadian and American flower exhibitions.

No Need For Haste, The ministefof a parish in Scotland was walking, one misty night through a street in the vllage when he fell in- to a deep hole. After vainly trying to make his escape from the uncom- fortable position, lie began to shout for help. A laborer, passing, heard his cries and, looking down, asked who he was. The minister told him and at the same time evinced omen agitation. The laborer, however, took the situa- tion in a very philisiphical manner and remarked: "Wee:, weal, ye needna kick up sic a noise. Ye'll no be needed afore Sawbath, an' this is only Wednesday nicht." He Understood. The aeroplane banked and looped and volplaned, and then climbed till almost beyond the gaze of the spec- tators. - Then a gasp broke from the crowd. It was falling! Down, down it came, over and over, twisting and. swerving, until it appeared about to strike the earth. Then it suddenly righted, and Thaw away. "Ha, ha!" laughed the aviator. "See that? Ninety per cent. of those people thought we were going to crash." "Well," said his passenger faintly, "fifty per cent, of the crew thought the same!" Fate Was Against Him., "I guess I'm about the unluckiest fellpw alive," asserted the long, nar- row, mournful looking individual. "What seems to be the trouble?" in- quired his sympathetic companion, or- dering something' consoling for them both. "I'm jest naturally unlucky—Fate's got it in for me. I'll leave it to you if a guy,' deserves this kinder luck. A year ago I gits tired o' livin' in board - In' housessan' I ups an' gets married. Now fer a home an' goodby boarding house Tittles, say I.
