It was discovered in Madagascar Dy a famous French naturalist, and many people were made to believe at the time of its discovery that the egg or.. .the famous roc itself had been found, and no wonder, for the far- was: supposed to have lived on this very island.

Eminently successful himself he was 4 capable of advising the young as to the I 4 4 1 4. best methods of achieving success. He said on one occasion, "If either of my sons had lived, and I had trained him as I should have tried to do, to be a great farmer, I should have wanted to send him at least six months to a busi ness college to give him the aptitude and habits and forms of a thorough business man." Education for business is just as necessary as education for the profes sions, and the young man who starts in life with a good business education has that advantage over his fellows which superior knowledge and experi ence always give. "So far as business is concerned, I have a particular hobby. My craze is that every young person, of both sexes, should learn at least shorthand and typewriting; Here you have mental dis cipline and knowledge together at some time to oe convenient ana practically ' available. I can not con ceive that any one who knows these two branches thoroughly will ever need to go hungry in the present gen eration, for they have a constantly widening use." P. T. Barnum. "A boy applies to me for a place. He is bright, sharp, smart and fresh from school. I ask, what can you do? He re plies, 'I can read Homer, Hesoid, the Greek tragedies, scan Vergil, am well up in mythology, chemistry, bottany and geology.' I say, 'Can you take lettqfs in short hand from my dictation and then print them on the typewriter?' He says he never thought of learning shorthand or typewriting, and I am compelled to tell him that he can not help us." Hon. Leonard Swett. The Carolina Clothing Co.
