A pleasing manner is an important essential to success in any business. A gentle, courteous manner will win rec ognition anywhere. So much depends upon first impressions, and these are favorable or unfavorable according to whether a man is polite and courteous or brusque and nervous in bearing. We cannot always Judge a man by what he says or does, but the way In which he says or does a certain thing will prove the best index to his char acter. A pleasant, courteous bearing will help a man to success in business, where a boorish, Impatient manner will turn away customers. , The brusque man may be as well meaning aB his more affable rival, but people have not the time nor inclination to find out what is beneath the rude ex terior; they prefer to patronize the man who makes it plain that it is a pleasure to serve; that the world Is a mighty pleasant place, and that be is glad to be alive. If you are not the possessor of a pleasant manner, start in to acquire It You will find it an immense help In making a success of anything you un dertake. - ' FREE ADVICE For the cure and prevention of every disease With HERBS NATURE'S OWN REMEDIES Are you sick?

With the number of excellent breeds of swine from which any one at the present day may make a choice it Is a waste of time for a breeder to undertake to create a strain of bis own by crossing the Chester White on the Poland China pig, although there are some instances where this has been done with pronounced suc cess. The beginner will do better by adopting one breed, standing by it and working for Improvement in the family rather than in the, race. A man with even limited capital may be able to get a good start by know ing what to purchase. Excellent young sowp bred for fall ; or spring farrow, can be bought for from $40 to J50, good male pigs for $25, or those old enough for service for $50, writes W. F. McSparran in the Country Gen tleman. There Is a question whether one need ever pay any more than these prices for some of the very best untried stock.' . The animals should be fed well and wisely, as their subsequent improve ment will result from feed, care and selection. The sow should produce two litters a year, about ten pigs the first year, although often she will do much better than that and sometimes Decidedly Unprofitable. not so well. If she is bred too young or Is too fat at the time of breeding, the first litter, at least, will probably be small in number. , The breeder must know the type of animal he desires and select with that In view. If the offspring of a given sire have predominating characteris tics of the kind approved, by all means breed this sire to his best daughters, and if his points of merit are prepotently fixed one can expect to secure the proper offspring. Do not scoff at pedigree, for it means the record of the blood of your herd. Also, do not pay money for a pedigree, but spend It liberally for the ideal hog with a pedigree equal to bis merits. There is abundant chance for selection from prollflo swine. The young sow may farrow at from twelve to sixteen months of age. A mature sow should produce (welve to eighteen pigs a year, which will give you plenty of stock to select from. NEED OF GOOD DAIRY SIRES Cheapest Investment Farmer Can Make Is Purchase of Pure Bred . Bull to Build Up Herd. (By RAT P. 8PEER, Minnesota College of Agriculture.) It has been demonstrated again and again that the cheapest investment that can be made by a farmer who ii trying to build up the standard of a herd of cattle lies in the purchase ol a good pure bred bull. It is not nec essary to buy several high priced fe males as a basis for the average herd, nor is it economical. A striking proof of this has been shown on the cattle show circuit al various state fairs last fall. One ol many instances will suffice. Recentlj a prominent state fair Judge had U choose between two cows with th same dam, but sired' by different bulls for the female championship of tht breed. So strikingly similar in typt was each of them to its own sire, though the dam was the same, thai there was no trouble In distinguishing between the two. The one that had been produced by the more outstand Ing sire was so superior to the on that had been produced by the less su perior bull that there was no trouble about the selection. The principle Illustrated is of prao deal value to the farmer who is think Ing of beginning a herd with limited capital, or has a very common herd that he desires to grade up. An aver age group of calves will be far su perior to their commonly bred mother! If a good pure bred bull is used. Suet a bull can be purchased very reason ably if proper care is taken by the purchaser. To Clean Hatching Eggs. If eggs, while hatching, beconu soiled and it Is necessary to clean them, a basin of warm water at n ten perature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit should be used, but not above this, a little less being better than a greatei degree. The eggs should be put inte this water and the dirt gerrtly removed after soaking and washing with tin hands, then dried with a cloth and pul back In the nest, which should be first renewed with clean bay. It not badlj toiled they day be cleaned by gentl) scraping with a knife or with the fin gers. Care is necessary to avoid crack ing the shell or Jarring the egg, at such an injury will destroy the possl blllty of a hatch. Keep Chickens Busy. ' A head of cabbage or piece of meat hung on a string Just above the chick ens' heads will keep them busy for i long time.

In the List Is Recorded the Priceless Parchment on Which the Magna Charts Was Inscribed -Now In British Museum. Not infrequently manuscripts of lit erary treasures, long deemed to have been lost forever, turn up in most un likely places and by most unlikely means. These Recoveries form an in-i terestlng ano" romantic chapter in the history of literature. . , ! It is said that the oldest known Greek manuscript of the New Testa ment, now the chief treasure of a mu seum at St. Petersburg, was about to be burnt, together with other and ap4 parently valueless manuscripts, by the monks of a Syrian monastery, when by a lucky chance Tischendorf inter fered in time to save it. ! A page of another valuable Greek manuscript came to the Bishop of Uganto in a startling way. It was wrapped round a fish and brought into the bishop's presence; when, by the merest chance, he examined it and found it to be a part of a treatise thought for many centuries to be lost. The good man hastened to the stall of the butcher in the market where the fish had been bought Just in time to save the remaining pages of the treas ure. , Quite as lucky as this . was the chance, that led to the preservation of the Magna Charta from destruction. The story runs that Sir Robert Cotton had one day entered his tailor's shop precisely at the moment when the tailor was about to cut up, -ior pat terns, an ancient looking document Whereto were attached many large and Imposing seals. Sir Robert arrested the hand of the tailor, even though he did not immediately . recognize the value of the document, which he pur chased for a few cents. Today the priceless manuscript Is in a glass case at the British Museum, most carefully guarded. , . : - ' Another valuable manuscript that was about to be destroyed, after being smothered In dust for over two cen turies In a moth-eaten coffer, was the famous Journal of his Italian Travels written by Montaigne. This Is now looked upon as one of the greatest of French literary treasures. A decorator at work in a room of Lincoln's Inn in London was one day preparing to repaint the ceiling, when a bundle of the state papers of Thur low fell out from a false panel. For over two hundred years Milton's Commonplace Book, wherein were en tered the rough notes and plans of all his poems, was lost; but finally It turn ed up in the garret of a neglected house In London. One of the most highly prized manu scripts of recent times was rescued Just in time from a cupboard in a house where the poet had for some time lived as a bachelor. This was the manuscript of "In Memorlam," and it was to the poet himself that the recovery was due; for he remem bered that the book wherein he had transcribed the original draft had been hastily thrust Into the cupboard, where Tennyson also had been accus tomed to keep his pickles and Jams. When the friends sent by the poet to recover the manuscript arrived on the scene, the contents of the cup board had been, removed by the land lady, who was Just then engaged in her task of house cleaning, and tartly advised her visitors that they had come none too soon, inasmuch as she would that day have . burnt all the "trash" she had found. The Sunday Magazine. , On the Wrong Bgs. A motorbus stopped on the Place de la Bourse, In Paris, and a man climb ed with difficulty into a seat. He car ried one of those large black cases which lawyers and literary men with documents affect In Paris. He was poorly dressed, old, short sighted and gray headed. f He was very busy with his papers, and, when he looked up from them, exclaimed aloud that he had made a mistake, and was traveling in the wrong direction. The bus was stopped for him, he scrambled out and got into another. When he had gone, a large yellow envelope with red seals on it was found on his seat. Though there were seals the envelope was open. "Let us look," said the other pas sengers. "It may contain his address, and certainly It contains documents of value to him, perhaps even bonds or shares." The envelope was opened and the papers taken out for examination. They were a bundle of advertisements of a new restaurant which has been opened near the boulevard. -"The old lawyer's clerk" spends his day riding about in buses, finding that he is on the wrong one, and leaving advertisements behind him. London Standard. Lawrence Portrait Saved. After lying for nearly 40 years stored away In the collars of the Na tional gallery, a portrait by Sir Thom as Lawrence, which was black with dirt, has now been completely rt stored and has been hung in the vea tlbule. It Is a life size portrait ot Mrs. Francis Robertson, the mother of the historian,, and was presented to the gallery In 1837. Some six months ago Sir Charles Holroyd, during a visit to the cek lars, came across the picture, be grimed with dirt and so cracked that It looked like a crocodile skin. He called in Mr. Buttery, the famous ex pert and restorer to the National gal lery. . Mr. Buttery thought that something might be done, and the picture was sent to his studio. It has now emerged, as Sir Charles declared yes terday, as fresh as the day it left the painter's hands. London Graphic. Lame Excuse. Crawford How in the world did he mistake his wife for a burglar?

Even in the most civilized parts of Brazil over 1,000 persons are killed annually by snake bite. The mongoose, which proved so ef fective in Jamaica and elsewhere, is of little use here. Necessity is the mother of invention, and nature and science together have at last discov ered something which it Is hoped may eventually exterminate the dreadful pest The discovery is nothing else than a "beneficient" snake which is harmless to man, and which kills and eats the poisonoHS species. The mussurana, as it is called, is a thick, muscular snake about four feet long. It is possessed of an in satiable appetite for poisonous vipers, and it can tell of the approach of one In the same way that a pointer will "scent" game. When tackling its prey, which is frequently considerably bigger than itself, the "good" snake assumes a lethargic air as if it were glutted with food and could not fight. Seeing this the bad snake Immediately attacks.

The growth and change which are inseparable from all living language cannot fail to interest the student, and a special interest attaches to the In corporation of the names of well known men. Thus Wellington has come to mean a sort of boot; Broug ham, a carriage, and Gladstone, appro priate enough, a traveler's bag, as that great man advocated the "bag and baggage" policy,- which ' seems likely at length to be adopted. Other names have been turned Into verbs as well as nouns. For instance, the murderer Burke's name is per petuated in the words to burke, burk ed, burking and burkism, while In quite recent times Captain Boycott's experiences resulted in the language being enriched by the phrases to boycott, boycotter, boycotting, etc. : The most notable case was prob ably that of the great and good man, Rev.
