A good many girls , launched into so
ciety and questing husbands , and a
good many young men , building up a
practice or a business , believe that they
help themselves by taking and giving
many confidences and by getting as
close as possible to persons whom they
meet But the girl who opens her soul
to every man finds In time that men
flee before-her. A girl must be ex-
elusive if she would be highly approfl
elated. Tbe value of confidences , Ilk *
the value of wheat and potatoes , is reg
ulated by the supply. Neither will
people employ doctors or lawyers whom
they know Intimately. It la better for
a lawyer or a doctor to know a great
many people slightly than to be en
titled to call all the young women b 1
their first names and to invite hlmsor
to family meals. It cheapens oue %
confidences to make them too common.
There are men and women who ex-
poge their minds to everyone witi
whom they are on terms of familiarity
The whole world knows the privati
business , tbe secret thoughts and emo
tions , the domestic trials and troubles ,
the follies and sins of such persons.
And such persons , while they have
many intimates , have very few real
friends. It is better to have few inti
mates and many friends. The excel
lent quality of reticence is almost an
essential element of success. More pee
pie have hurt themselves by telling
too much than too little. From prac
tical as well as sentimental standpoints
it is prudent to keep most people at : i
distance and to become familiar with
only a few. Nature seems to have si
planned that one chum , or one sweet
heart , or one wife , is sufficient to one's
needs of soul-close companionship.
There is a father in this city , says
the Chicago Record-Herald , who
bought his 22-cali
8-year-old son a -
bre rifle. Evening before last tht
boy was sitting on the floor playing
with it. lie pointed it at his sister ,
snapped the trigger MI ! the girl fell
dead. That father - now a double
suffering first , because his daughtei
is dead , and second , because he fceh
that the blame is all his own , for he
knows that he should not have given
such a weapon to a child. In this
age and in this country it is nothing
short of folly that firearms of any
kind should be accessible without re
strictions to persons in private life.
From the social point of view the
blame for such a tragedy as the one
fresh in our minds falls no more upou
the father who bought the rifle than
upon society which permitter him to
buy it when he wished and for what
ever object he wished. What useful
purpose do all the pistols , the rifles
and the suotguns In the hands of our
citizens serve ? We can't kill Indians
with them. The luckless red men are
too busily engaged in cheating and be

C
Can a Farmer Make Money" ?
jfy answer is that very many farm
ers do make money. One must first
consider what the investment is in an
ordinary farm. A general farm of
eighty acres , "with usual improve
ments , would not inventory more than
4,000 to $8,000. With the larger fig
ure the net Income at 10 per cent
fehould be $800 ; yet no farm that is
considered to be at all profitable pro
duces so little income as this. The
daily living , which must be charged to
income , would amount to more than
this. If the general farmer "comes
out even" at the end of the year , he
lias , nevertheless , made a good rate
on his investment , and he has In
creased the value of his home at the
same time. The difficulty with farm
ing , considered from the financia !
point of view , is not that the rate of
Income is low , but that the amount of
profitable Investment is small. Con
sidered In its bearing on the national
welfare , this fact Is propitious , for it
means that the farm provides an in
dependent business of small resources.
Considered * as a means of producing
great individual fortunes , however , the
farm Is inadequate , and It Is to be
hoped that it always will be so , for at
least one great profession or business
should be measured in other terms
than money-producing power for the
individual.
There is untold wealth in the soil.
There are practically no "exhaxisted"
soils ; they are mostly humus robbed
and poorly handled soils. No one has
ever yet reached the limit , on any con
siderable scale , of what the soil is
capable of producing. Many men
make a comfortable living on ton to
fifty acres of land , and yet they al
ways expect to produce more next
year. Only here and there are we be-
'ginning ' to develop a reaily scientific
and businesslike agriculture.
The opportunities in farming are
great. It is almost impossible for a
'man ' to fail , if he knows the business
'and has abilities that would lead him
to success In other undertakings. It
iis a general belief that almost any
man can leave the city and make a
living on a farm. This is a grievous
'error. Farming must be learned , as
must engineering or teaching. It can
not be learned from a book or a bulle-
'tin , but by farming. The older the
man when he makes a radical change
of business the less are his chances of
success. If he has been in a subor-
jdinate position in his former business ,
his chances of success In farming are
less , for he will probably be deficient
In executive handling and initiative.
Often a druggist or a preacher will
think that he can go to farming with
every assurance of success ; yet he
would not think that a farmer could
go Into the drug business or to preach
ing. Yet many a business man and
taany a preacher makes a most suc
cessful farmer. L. H. Bailey , in New
York Tribune.

stead of fifty tons of water. Not onl/
does water actually wash out much or
