Most certainly we are all children, with every day and every hour bringing with it life's lessons. No matter wheth er we are in business, in school, or in home, opportunities lor learning are constantly coming to us. Happy is the one who is willing to learn and to whom life means opportunity, not merely existence. To the former every thing is possible; to the latter, nothing : for he has no future, no ideals, no plans. Life means noth ing to him except the getting enough to eat and clothes to hide his nakedness, with as little ex ertion as possible; and if the burden of his maintenance can be shifted onto another's shoul ders, no matter how ill able they may be to bear it, so much the better for him. To him life with all its responsibilities means about as much as it does to a pig; and his status in the community is about the same, for he is no good to any one, not even him self. No one needs him. No one wants him. He has no past and no future He is not even of as much use as the pig, for its llesh can be used as food ; while in stead of sustaining life, he de stroys it. A few years ago a little fellow started in school. He was very small and very quiet, but he made friends rapidly among the school children. An older broth er was also coming. Hut the two were as different in charactor as possible. The younger had pluck and energy; ho studied his les sons, atteudod strictly to his own affairs, and pushed ahead. The older came in the door with a slovenly step, a listless look on his face, tumbled hair, and hands that were not always clean. His lessons were not prepared, and he never seemed to care that the others were outstripping him. The time that shonld have been spent in study was spent in idle ness and mischief, and he was a constant source of trouble aud annoyance to the teacher. As was to be expected, the younger brother gradually caught up with and passed him in his studies, and seems in a fair way to make something of himself ; while the older brother's future, judging from present indications, does not look enticing. It is said the boys in Vermont are brought up to believe that at some time they may be Presi dent, and govern themselves ac cordingly. It is all right to have a high, ideal and then try to at tain it ; but it is far better to be capable, both by education and training, of being President and theu never attain the presidency, than it would be to fill the presi dential chair with an incapable man. The glory of the position could not cover the shame of the incompetence of the individual. We do not have to go to the pres idency to finct heroes. Some of onr own Durable people, perhaps our own parents or friends, those whom we meet constantly, and who unfalteringly and cheerfully take up their tasks day by day, giving to their work m hand their very best, no matter how lowly it is, are finer heroes and heroines than many who have been ex alted to the high places of the earth. It is the giving of your best, and the doing honestly and to the very best of your ability the task which you have in hand. No mat ter what it may be, whether or ganizing a Steel Trust or sewing on a patch, that count when it comes to summing up to real suc cess in life. Do your best, and do not be content to do it as good as others do it. If possible do it a little better. The habit of do iDg one's best at all times, and constantly working upwards be ing strictly honest aud truthful (and this applies to. so many things), is one of the very best habits one can cultivate for suc cess in life, and one of those most essential to it. The bible says, The Lord loveth a cheerful giver." It might also say, "He loveth an honest, upright man or woman." A. M. S.

Sold at Trout's drug store. Apple Exportation. There is f;caic(.Iy anything more remarkable in the history of American exportation to Eu rope thnn the American apple. American exporters say there is no limit to nhat the trade may become within fivo years, consid ering what has boeu accomplish ed since live years ago, when American apples wore first scut in any quantity to London and Liverpool. The first year of the American export apple tiade was about 25,000 barrels, sent maiuly on small steamers and sailing vessels. Last year upward of 1,000,000 barrels were shipped to Londou.and on the fastest steam ers in the transatlantic ileet. The exports this year have been unusually large, quite in contrast to other fruit, but it is not expected that the crop, as a whole, will bo so large as las year. Early apples that do not keep long have been coming in abundantly so far, and about 500, 000 barrels of them have been shipped across the water. At all times of die year Englishmen want our apples. No matter what Kind, so long as they are apples. Some attempts have been made to introduce the American apples into Germany, but the Kaiser treats them as he does most im portations from this country. Every apple shipped must be ab solutely without a flaw. If an ap ple has a speck on it, it is assum ed to be something that will get contagious in the Kaiser's own apple land and ruin his crops. A DOZEN TIMES A NIGHT. Mr. Owen Dunn, of Brenton Ferry, W. Va., writes: "I have had kidney and bladder trouble for years, aud it became so bad that I was obliged to get up at least a dozen times a night. -I never received any permauen benefit from any medicine until I tried Foley's Kidney Cure.
