System.
To succeed at anything without system
and constant attention to details la im
possible. Nothing else is so important as
order and Bystem. Organization is the se
cret of success. There can be no perfect
organization unleas every detail is pro
vided for.
Boys and girls should be taught bow to
organize every detail of their personal move
ments and hiihlU. When they are Ailing
portions of trust and responsibility, this
valuable acquirement and ability will en
able them to organize their work aud carry
it through successfully.
The farmer, merchant, teacher or in
structor who has no defined plans or pre
scribed course to follow drifts around,
Jumping here and there and accomplishing
nothing, where the man or woman who
flratcaremllyoutlluad their work and its
every detail, and comes it out faithfully is
bound to succeed no matter how large or
small the undertaking,
A great many people never succeed al
though they almost work themselves to
death, Why is It? The re a bo u is they do
not know how to organize their work and
Carry out its details carefully.
Why Do We Grow Humpback and
Lop-Sided.
The Indians of two or three generat ions
sgo did not need to be reminded of the
proper way In which to tie In bed. Some
in thin generation do not need advice In
this particular, hut the following hints
from Will Carletion Magazine, may open
the eyes of others who are growing careless
and may be getting bed-deformity :
Many people wonder why they are arrow
inir hnwleggod, humpbacked, or knock
kneed, or lopsided, when they flte s care
ful all day to keep in fairly correct atti
tudes, says the writer.
Let such examineani nonsMer their atti
tudes while in bed which lime, of ourae,
occupies a considerable number of hours
out of the twenty-four.
Home, in order to get warm quickly,
hump themselves up into an old fashioned
interrogation -point, with their chins on
their breasts.
Some double their kneeB as if thsy were
supplicating the god morpheus to continue
his ministrations to them until morning
shall come. t
Some prop their heads on pillows, throw
ing the1 chin against their throats in a way
that would strangle them if Nature were
not on hand to prompt them to gasp till
they get air enough lo live on.
Some clasp their handB together over
the head, as if they were posing them for a
Biiulpture or a grave stone. This has a
tendency to contract and weaken the stom
ach. And so on and so on. Any one can
trace errors in his somnolent positions, if
he will hold his attention upon them for a
while. Lie as you would be. Will Carleton's
Magazine.
We Indians may not do these things,
but what we too frequently do, is to cover
our heads with the bed-covers and breathe
the poison over and over again that comes
from our bodies. This is a worse habit
than to lie In a crooked position. We
need good air wnen wesleop, if we would
be healthy.
Wanted. To exchange some of our beau
tiful roses for snow-balls, and Icicles with
