Jm THIS ACCURACY REVIEW DEPARTMENT It for co-operation In information to reduce mutually expensive mistakes. It is for mechan ical, commercial and profeeelonal people; the employer, employe and customer; and consists of extracts taken by permission from the copy righted letters, the lectures, note books and libraries of Dr. Bari if. Pratt. When you secure on any subject an idea personally useful to you, and you wish to give it to Mm, address him <n care of The John Ortrar Library, Marshall Field Building, Chicago. He le hunting the whole world pver for information of every day uee to you, and he regrets hie inability, personally to reply to contributors. So far as possible he wiehee to ta*« In tMe space the very ideas you would like to find here. You are at liberty to lend him any suggestion you may cats to. His Arcade index libraries were started in IS7» and now con-, lain unpublished information dating back to me with systematic plans extending to J»M.

How many cities could you mark on the Mercator map of the world at the top of this column? What do you know about the desirable personal forces of the different nationalities? We are more likely to hear of their undesirable tendencies than otherwise In our every day reading. Are you acquainted with any one In the differ ent continents? After whacking an enemy—before we cool off we may hit a friend. Some wise workers leave their “club" at home— not to use at home—so as to think be fore using it away from home. Some keep it locked up and never use it if possible to get along without it. Club bing others dulls our own brain. Enjoying Your Employment. In love with your work is one of the .sources—daily sources—of profita ble originality. Though very few get a living doing just what they want to do, yet many succeed and improve their world of work, leaving their sub ject in beter shape than they found it. Desire to do something well helps people succeed though working at their second or third choice of em ployment. A Chicago man with a na tional reputation told me he had never done the work he always wanted to do. The work he wanted to do may have been some youthful fancy. He is a great success in the work he has done. Interest in your work brightens your eye, sharpens your thought and quickens your ear. We are continually walking over good things—better things—profitable opportunities. While waiting with friends for a belated train I placed a coin on the walk to see how many would walk over it.' We got the value of the coin in entertain ment, as dozens of people walked over it. Then we got the value of the coin again when we saw the joyful face .of the old lady with a basket who found the coin, but did not see us. Greater interest in our work lessens the num ber of good things walked over—it helps us keep awake and thinking straight. A short-sighted person could see a dime on a high hitching post, yet be blind to a gold eagle on the ground. Greater interest In our work lengthens our sight without injuring its quality. Some of the things I tell you in these letters may help you most tnough they are the greatest distance from the subject you are interested in. You never know what is going to help you see something new and useful to you in your work. The art of picking up useful ideas in other lines of work and twisting them into usefulness in your work is a splendid art to acquire. Ingenuity and Resourcefulness. One of my friends, an intelligent oM Englishman, told me about how hie predecessor qnd himself had fixed up the little house in which he works. He makes me think that useful little schemes around one for convenience and comfort are a part of one’s life. He is a gateman on a railroad in a suburb. He works fifteen hours a day, seven days a week for thirty-five dol lars a month, without any holidays. He i* happy and would not lose his position for a double gold eagle. My collection contains some written obser vations he has made. What arc you doing to help improve the public schools near youf Helpers gain mentally when they help others to gain mentally. Real mental gain in creases ability Private Time Poeeibllltlee. Thirty minutes a week for thirty years is sufficient, time for any person to develop a useful side-line subject to an altitude requiring international attention. Private time study requires a great self-control. Generally there is no time for it or too much time spent on it. Zeal for a Bhort time b easier than persistency and good judgment for decades. One of the most successful lawyers in the United States told me that a night school was of great use to him. He attended a class after he had been admitted to the bar, to overcome one of his deficiencies. Here are a few items from my let ter to young people on ten minutes a day for ten years: A minute is something like a dime. It can be used usefully or abused shamefully. It can be invested In a way to bring good interest In a money-muscle-mlnd manner. It is fortunate for young people tc voluntarily see this manner. It is expensive experience to have to learn it involuntarily. Take a note book costing a dime, more or less, and spend ten minutes with it a day, three hunifred days a year. In ten years that *mcans fifty days of ten hours each. If, at the end of ten years, you can say the five hundred hours have in creased your ability from two to twen ty-five per cent you will not regret your efforts. You can do this, and if you do it you are sure to gain by it. Every day add a sentence or para graph you think worth saving. Watch for something to write or paste in your book; have your eyes, ears and mind ever ready to catch good hints in your work and recrea tion, your reading and conversation. Every day re-read some one para graph or sentence and try to twist it into fresh shape to help you do the best you can to-day, and, if possible, better to-morrow. Life is worth living when we know how to live and live as well as we know how. A healthy girl can tell by moral intui-' lion the difference between right and wrong actions. A healthy man can tell by business intuition the difference be tween right and zvrong methods. All of us are tempted to disobey our good judg ment. How Foreknowledge Might Help. When a boy I had a pet Brahma pul let, plump and good looking, of two or three pounds weight. One day I en tered the hen park and on coming out could not close the gate. There was a rubbery-spring of a resistance as the gate came within'a foot of the post. As I opened the gate to in vestigate, my pet pullet ran out a yard and dropped dead. She had run in be tween the gate and the building under the lower hinge. That lesson in ac curacy regarding gates and chickens gave my affections a hard pull. If my pet had been alive and my father’s hens all dead I would have suffered less. That was expensive experience —I never killed another chicken by that gate—it made me think, look, know more and it increased my accur acy. wny could not i nave learned oy observation what I learned by expen sive experience? I could have done so had I had my observation trained and I have done so many times since that event. An old German friend told me that we stopped growing when we stopped making mistakes, and I must be growing every day because I am making mistakes right along, but there are many kinds of mistakes and I want to grow by making those which do not kill “pet pullets” if possible. A Pennsylvania girl told me she did not think it necessary to be poor in order to be happy and 1 am trying to see if we cannot learn by the valua ble experiences of others and lessen the necessity of errors and mistakes on our part. We should become more accurate and grow faster than we do and good reading iB one way to do it. Many confess that they lose their “head.” then lose a sale because they do not know how to do otherwise. Of course it is to their interest to do other wise. Self-control can be raised the same as sweet corn, if you learn how. Opportunities for Betterment. After a sickness we have a chance to put to use the good resolutions made during sickness and improve our methods. We can seek better food and use greater care in eating. A dime's worth of food well eaten does more good than a dollar's worth carelessly consumed. Pleasure in eating is a good condiment, but studied pleasure just for pleasure alone leads us into all kinds of trouble. You know the eggs arc there and that the hens want to lay them—u'hen you fail to get results you know that there is something wrong in the management of them. Can you re-word this to make it apply to your work? ONE OF THE LARGEST IRRIGATING CANALS IN THE WORLD. A Project of the State of Idaho. On the west side of the Snake river in Idaho, between Blackfootand Ameri can Fall^, there is being constructed by the American Falls Canal & Power com pany, under a contract with the state of Idaho, an irrigating canal 85 feet wide and (50 miles long. When finished, this canid will be one of the largest and most perfect irrigating systems in the world. By its means a valley of 100,000 acres of the most fertile and productive fruit and farm land in America will be reclaimed. The climate of this valley is ideal. Cyclones, hot winds, floods or destruc tive storms have never been known. Grain, grass, vegetables and all varie ties of fruit grow in abundance. A healthful climate, u sure crop, a heavy yield, high prices and a ready market, are features of this country. Ten thousand acres of this rich land are now ready for irrigation and settle ment.

General Ainsworth, who has made such a name for himself as the head of the record and pension bureau of the war department, tells this story of the civil war: The chaplain of the regiment distributes the mail. On one occasion a New York regiment was very anxious about a delayed mail and for hours had pestered the chaplain with Inquiries about it. Fi nally the chaplain put up a sign over the door of his tent, which read: "The chaplain does not know when the mall will arrive.” Souio time later an offi cer, passing that way, saw that some facetious person had added the words: “Neither doeB he care a damn,” Soldier Vote in 1864. George F. Elliott, who was a “guest” of the Andersonvtlic, Charles ton and Florence prisons for 320 days, says that in the Florence pen 10,000 votes were cast for Lincoln and Mc Clellan for the presidency, 7,000 for Lincoln and 3,000 for McClellan. The ballots were black beans for Lincoln and white ones for McClellan. “I heard the commandant of- the prison say, after the result of the vote wus announced, that he wislied he could call out all those who voted block and blow them Into eternity. His name, 1 think, was Harrison. One of the inmates of the pen met him some years after the war and gave him a terrible beating.” The Question Answered. Estlll Springs, Tenn., Aug. 24th.— Many questions are being asked of Mr. C. D. Hoit of this place in regard to his wonderful recovery. For over two years he has been down with his back. He was so very bad that he could not even lace his shoes, and from this condition ho suddenly ap peared well and strong as ever. It is no wonder therefore that his friends are asking him “How did you do it?” He tens tnem an: "Dodd's Kidney Pills did it,” and adds "This remedy is a genuine good medicine and one that 1 can heartily recommend to everybody. “Everyone around hero knows how very had I was. I was so weak in my back that I couldn't do anything that needed stooping or bending over, and three boxes of Dodd's Kidney' Pills made me as you see, as well as ever I was.” “They certainly had a wonderful effect on my case.” When every other hope departs and life looks like one long, dreary blank, remember thut tho watermelons are ripening fast.

Hince 1879 and up to a week or so ago there has been ly ing in one of the oldest London banks a sealed package containing ono of the farpous petition crowns of Charles II, known familiarly as tho trial piece's of Thomas Minion Simon made fif teen of these in an effort to convince Charles that he could make finer and more artistic coin than could the Dutch. The coin in uuestion was of fered twice for sale, unsuccessfully, the last time in 1774. The highest bid then was twenty guineas. in 1789 it was put away to be offered for sale in 114 years. If is the property of a well known nobleman and it is doubtful if he will follow out the pur poses of his ancestor. Do Your Clothes Look Yellow?
