"When a man becomes indifferent to women, to children and young people we may know that he is superannuated superannuated and has withdrawn from whatsoever whatsoever is sweetest and purest in human human existence^ said Louise M. Al- cott). In these talks we are ever mindful for the welfare of these three classes, hence we conclude that we are not old. Indifference is what we are considering. It is a very bad trait in a young person's character. Indeed, Indeed, one's whole career or success in life may be marred by it. An untidy appearance, dawdling, and a careless gait often indicate weak morals and indifferent habits. "I believe," said one who had thought seriously on the subject of. indifference in personal appearance, appearance, "that a clean place of business, business, neat apparel and well-kept hands and finger-naili are worth 50 per cent, interest, on every dollar a man invests in business." This may be strongly expressed, but if instead of indifference, indifference, a man shows a pleasant and interested interested manner, prompt attention, a disposition to satisfy his customers with what they want, he may count on a hundred per cent, on his invested capital. Show . a keen interest in every undertaking. * *. * * Douglas Jerrold said in addressing a graduating class of young men: "Keep your eyes and ears open if you desire to get on in the world." A splendid young man was once in our to perform. He will be always alert, air the time absorbing and reaching out for knowledge and experience, methods and system. He must not ings.

It ! seemed almost hopeless of getting new ideas into his head or of. changing changing his way of doing what he knew how to do after a fashion. He would do routine work with almost faithfulness, faithfulness, was always on time, and was diligent, but he lacked utterly this : yourself as a worker ? growth and expansion think so much of the money he is get- , dumb' friends---must old Dobbin's star is setting.

He did not use his eyes and ears to good effect. We have in mind two girls who were direct contrasts to this young employee. They took in situations at a glance and they advanced by leaps and bounds, as it were, because their minds were open to impressions and active in assimilating and applying knowledge. What they saw others doing doing they could soon do. They watched watched for oportunities to try to do new stunts and showed initiative in attempting attempting work that was new. When they saw work to be done they did it without telling. They acted as if they regarded our business as a school in which they were bound to stand at the head of the class and they got there as often as they could. It -is knowing how to do things that is of value. To rise in any occupation and to be a leader in it a young man must learn the business '-he has ehqsen through and through from A to Z.

This opinion is open to question. A class should not be judged judged by the mistakes of one or two individuals individuals who may have been victims of misplaced confidence. It is true that two great American divines were recently heralded as losers in stock investments, losing comfortable fortunes fortunes in doubtful investments. They were severely criticized in the press but we did not see that anything very culpable was brought to light in the conduct of either minister. What is a preacher to do with his surplus? Few of them have any surplus, we know, but why should not a minister invest his savings in any legitimate way that any other professional man does ? Perhaps here is the danger point for the preacher. Only a minister here and there has had real business training, training, hence is hardly a competent judge on investments. This' is where the clever and unscrupulous promoter gets in his fine work. But the minister who is caught is often used as bait for catching members of his flock. This is why ministers should be exceedingly careful about lending their sanction and influence to questionable enterprises. enterprises. Have you ever loved a horse?

The automobile will never hold the endearing place in the family that the horse has, but the demand of these times is speedily crowding out the horse. We have loved him but with the swifter speed of the motor car we have to agree that the horse becomes an unprofitable servant. The practical man says a horse eats 10 lbs. of food for every hour's work, equal to 5 acres of ground annually--yet his thermal efficiency is only 2 per cent. It takes 27 minutes daily to care for him--service rendered by à "lord of creation" to a "lower animal."

But flax fibre is a valuable product where it can be used in manufacture. It may surprise many readers to learn that according to statistics the area under flax grown for fibre in southern Ontario during 1915 was about 4,00-3 acres, about* 800 tone, which at 20 cents per lb., was of value of $320,000. In addition, 80 tons of tow at $35 per ton realized $2,800. The seed, nearly 12 bushels per acre, or 48,000 bushels, at $1.60 per bushel, was $76,800. About 30 per cent, of the fibre is shipped to Ireland, the rest to New England States. Most of the crop is secured on land rented from the farmer at from $10 to $14 an acre.

It may well be committed to memory: Whichever way the wind doth blow, Some heart is glad to have it so; Then, blow it east, or-blow it west, The wind that blows that wind is best. My little craft sails not. alone; A thousand fleets from every zone Are out upon a thousand seas; What blows for one a favoring breezo Might dash another with the shock Of doom upon some hidden rock. And so I do not dare to pray For winds to waft me on my way, But leave it to a higher Will To stay or speed me, trusting still That all is well, and sure that He Who launched my bark will sail with me Through storm and calm, and will not fail,. Whatever breezes may prevail, To land nïe, every peril past, Within the sheltered haven at last. i Then, whatsoever wind doth blow, My heart is glad to have it so; And blow it east, or blow it west, The wind that blows, that wind is best. --Caroline A.
