ar a Careiaxer.
Ib tbe American Magazine a writer
•ay a:
"All the world of men Is divided into
two classes—caretakers and promoters.
The most important decision a man
can make in his hush .css l».e is to de
termine in which one of these two
classes he belongs.
"Really I have come to believe that
at least half of the sorrow and failure
and heartache i'i the business world
comes simply because men won’t reo- •
ognlze thut law. Hquure pegs In round
holes—whut are they? Just promoters
in caretakers' Jobs, tbut's all, or vice
versa. Brilliant subordinates who fail
utterly in business on tin ir own ac
count? Slnlple enough. They are care
takers—splendid, efficient, successful
caretakers—and they get the wrong j
iue.i thut they are meant to be some- ;
thing else. A great big business sud- i
denly begins to stugger and fail apart, |
and everybody wonders why. But ap- :
ply the same law and it’s easy—too
many promoters or too many caretak
ers, not the proper working mixture of
each.
"Alexander was a promoter of the
first order. He conquered the world.
But where were tbe caretakers to con
serve and consolidate and solidify?
They Just weren't, that's all, and Alex
auder's empire fell to pieces almost be
fore bis ashes were cold. A few hun
dred years later Caesar conquered the
world, and his empire stood for gener
ations. Why? Because Augustus, one
of tbe great caretakers of history, fol
lowed Caesar."
EYES IN PORTRAITS.
Why 8oma Always 8aam to Gaza Right
at You and Soma Novor Do.
You probably have noticed that some
faces in pictures seem to follow you:
also that in other pictures there are
faces which are not looking at you, but
no matter where you walk, even though
it be in the direction In which they
seem to be looking, you will never find
the face looklug at you. Indeed, faces
in pictures are either looking at us
from wherever we look at them or else
they never look at us from wherever
we look at them. The same is true of
photographs.
The rule is very simple. If the per
son who was being painted or photo
graphed was looking at the painter or
the camera, then wherever you stand
he will seem to be looking at you. If
he was looking on one side, then wher
ever you stand he will seem to be look
ing on that side of you. This works
very queerly if you have a group of
peoide who were all looking at the
camera when they were photographed.
If you look at the photograph from one
side they all seem to turn to follow
you and then to turn back if you look
at it from the other side. But If they
were not looking at the camera you can
uever get them to look at you.—Kansas
City Star.
Blind Doga and Rata.
Canines born blind or that become
blind by accident are able to smell
and paw their way into the most inac
cessible and out of the way places. It
is practically impossible to starve
them, lose them or trap them. Fur
thermore, blind dogs learn as quickly
as those that see. Loss of sight in no
way interferes with their ability to
learn tricks, acquire habits or find
their bed.
Uats, as a matter of fact, if they use
their eyes at all—a doubtful matter
can see little or nothing of the world.
The retina of these creatures has no
point of perfect vision such as is found
in the higher animals and man; hence
their noses, muscles, touch and hear
ing give them information about the
world they live in.
Rica Culture.
The culture of rice is alluded to in
the Talmud, and there is evidence that
it was grown in the valley of the
Euphrates and in Syria before 400
B. O. It was taken into Persia from
India and later into Spain by the
Arabs. Thence its culture was intro
duced into Italy about 1468 A. D. The
Spaniards are also responsible for its
introduction into Peru and other sec
tions of Spanish America during the
early colonial period, but the exact
date has not been definitely determin
ed. The first introduction of rice cul
ture in the Americas seems really to
have been in Brazil
Hi* Worst Book.
In “A Last Memory of Robert Louis
Stevenson,” by Charlotte Eaton, this
curious incident is recorded: “What
do you consider your brightest fail
ure?” the novelist was asked. “ ‘Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,’ ” he replied
without a moment's hesitation, add
ing. “That is the worst thing I ever
wrote.” Yet in a standard book of
brief biographies this is the one book
title given under the name of the au
thor.
Whan Real Acquaintance Began.
“When did you first become acquaint
ed with your husband?” asked one wo
man.
"The first time I told him that I had
overdrawn my housekeeping account”
answered the other.—Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
The Reason.
“The feminine anti-matrimony club*
generally come to grief.”
“Of course they do. Naturally tb«y
are miss-managed.”—Baltimore Ameri
can. _ _
