Without Accurate Account No Form f Business Can Be Successfully Carried On. Accountancy, mhich Is the science of systematizing business, ha a his tory that runs back at least 4.0io years. Very esrly In the derelopment of nations It was found that In com merce as well a In the affairs of state, systematic -anti careful account-keeping were Indispensable. These sy tents were, at first, erode and labori ous, but they at least kept the finances of the nation and the marts of trade from being chaotic. The Invention of double entry book keeping early In the fifteenth century by the merchants and bankers of Ven ice gave t the commerce of F.tirope an Invaluable trade Instrument, and one without which the great commercial enterprises of the later centuries could hardly have existed. Ami s, it has been on down to the present time: there has txvn a parallel progress between the accomplishments of commerce and the science of ac counting, and It Is known to every man In business that the former could nt continue without the latter. Even the most unbusinesslike people know this much, and we can hardly Imagine nny one silly enough to attempt to carry on any kind of a business enterprise without keeping books. Bookkeeping, as a formal subject of study. Is taught In most of the public Rnd private schools of this country, but It Is only thnt form of bookkeeping thnt applies to the affairs of the mer chant or the shopkeeper. The public has yet to learn that bookkeeping Is quite as necessary to the prosperity of the wngewtrker, the salnrled man. the fanner nnd the housekeeper a it is to the shopkeeper, the merchant or the manufacturer.

American Bishops Visit Sulgrave Manor 14-1 lHr,"l A.. That They Differ I a Proof of the Adaptability of Everything In Nature. That flowers sleep Is evident t the most casual observer. The beautiful daisy opens nt sunrise ami closes at sunset, whence lis name "day's eye." The morning glory opens Its flower with the day. The "four o'clock" awakes nt four o'clock In the morning, but closes It's eyes In the middUOof the day, and the dandelion is In full bloom lily while there Is strong light. The habit of some flowers Is certainly curi ous, nnd furulshes one of the many Instances which prove the singular adaptability of everything In nature. The reason Is found In the method by which this class of flowers Is fertilised. Flowers which are fertilized by night flying Insects derive no advan tage from being open by day; nnd, on the other hand, those which are fer tilized by bees wmild gnln nothing by being open at night. Nay, It would be a disadvantage, because It would ren der them liable to be robbed of .their honey and, pollon by Insects which are Incapable of fertilizing them. It Is possible, then, that the closing of flow ers mny hnve reference to the habit of Insects, nnd It may be observed; also. In support of this, that wind-fertilized flowers never sleep. t 7H -JtliSi f.Yt .

I'.eslttes, I Just know I'm going to make K.mmI. I love the work ami graduated ut the head of my class, and down In the slums I've had Iite a success Kingston ended earnestly. "AH the same. I've said my say. There' no such groat hurry about your marrying anyway 4 'laire Isn't twenty one yet. you know." "I guess that' flual?" the young man said ns he rose to go. "I'm nfnihl so. Kingston; neverthe less, I'M be glad to welcome you Into the family when you're a little fur ther along." With a heavy benrt the doctor left Jenkins' office ami turned his car to ward his home, for he knew Claire would be there anxiously waiting for him. as they had planned this Inter view with the father as a last resort. Kingston thought with bitterness what a failure It had been and how little hope he had to give. "Never mind. Fronk.",she consoled, after sfce had heard the wtifirt. "we'll do something to bring dad around somehow." 'Tut what?" the man asked desper ately. "I've done my level best ant I can't think of another thhig to try." 'i.et me do some thinking," said Ola I re, puekerlnc . her pretty white forehead with the effort. "Had told me the other day he was going to drop In on you from time to time. If we could only get n good showing of patients for tlmfl pehologlcal mo ment !" "Yes, If." he answered listlessly, "but how?" "I don't know. Let mo see. I feet a If I had nn bleu coming." "If that's the case, honey. I'd better get out nnd give you a chance to con centrate." "All right nnd I'll ring you if any thing occurs to me." As Poet or Kingston reached hl of fice he heard the telephone ringing nnd his heart leaped with Joy nt the prooet of a professional call. Ho took up the receiver and, said "Hello!" In most business-like tone. It was Claire. "Frank. I've cot an Idea. Do come over and let me tell yon about It." "He there In a Jiffy," he said as he hung up the receiver and dashed for the door, and n few minutes Inter he had reached the Jenkins home. "Tell me, Claire, quick for giibdness sake!" "Sit down, dear," die said, enjoying the tnisi.etit. "You're too excited." "All right. Now shoot." "Well, from what I learned In psy chology humnn beings are monkey, sheep; In n word, Imitators." "Yes, yes. but what's that' got to do with It?" "Walt n minute, now. To go on, you were awfully popular In your class. Now. If you hnd a lot of pa tients you'd hnve n lot more, because people are like sheep nnd they always flock to a popular doctor." "Hut how to get them," he groaned. "In the next place, you were pop ular at school nnd your college Juntos would do anything on earth for you." "Sure! Io put the puzzle together now." "Very well. Suppose yon went out to the school, took your best friends Into your confidence, told them how determined dad Is nnd then made a speech something like this" Claire rose and addressed an Imaginary au dience: "Friends, knowing the situation. It la obvious to you that I must hnve my reception room filled with patients, sham, bogus or real, w) that dnd-ln-nw-to-be will be Impressed. Now. If there are nny students here who would like to drop Into my ofhYe while up town they will be conferring n great favor nnd In return will receive T( cents for nil young men, all men over forty $t. nnd nil women students 75 cttits nn hour." On Ire sat down, breathless nnd red cheeked. "I wonder." he exclnlnied. rubbing bis chin. "7ou know, t believe that might work, nnd the more I think of It the better It sounds." "Io lei's try It. anyway, Frnnk," nhe begged. "I'd try nnyhlng on earth, honey. And lot f those student's wrfUld be blessed glad to mnke the money, I know. I'll stnrt the ball rolling to night." Two weeks late Mr. Jenkins decld- I ed he'd drop In on his prospective son-in-law and see how things were getting along. A he glanced quickly around the reception room he wn sur prised to see sis men nnd one woman sitting around anxiously awaiting their turn. A moment later Doctor Kingston opened the door of the Inner office and ushered a patient out "Next!" he wild In hi most profes sional tones; then his eye caught Bight of Mr. Jenkins, apparently for the first time. "Wj:. how are you. Mr. Jenkins?" be sullied clne over to greet him. ) "l ii t e ante to "e you in jrw iu ote." and he backed Into the ron ; log rutHd and closed the dour oo aue er "patient."

"I want to spT I you." "All right, sir. but I'm afraid It' pretty late before I can get off." "I'll wait for you." and Kin. heard the receiver go up at the et end. At about six o'clock he walked Into Jenkiiw' office. "I've decided you can have her no. If she's willing." said the elder man. "Thank you. sir," replied Kington, gratefully. "I'll try to persuado her." "I'll have to tell yon. young man, thnt I'm more than pleased with the way your practice has grown.

That evening Claire salt! In rapture. "I Ju-4 knew it would work. Frankle, dear." "Hut the fact Is, my practice Is n-tn-nlly growing very fast." he answered. "And I'm really curing them. Ore old lady told me th's afternoon she felt better than she h: d In years." "And here's a young lady who can tell you the same thing." laughed Ciaite, as she crept a little closer Into his arms. HERMIT'S LIFE TCO SEVERE Wealthy Englishman Unable to Find Man Who Would for Long Main tain Required Pose. The grounds of I'aln's hill, near Coliham. Surrey, were considered tt marvelous achievement of landscape gardening -when firt laid out during the ownership of the ninth duke of Hamilton. The head garlener. who wns given a free hnnd. produced a bewildering variety of supposed amenities grottos, ensendes, chapels, temples, and even a hermitage. When the Job was finished the noble owner of Haln's hill advertised for n hermit willing to live there seven onrs. It was stipulated that he should wear a camlet robe, never cut his beard or nails, and never stray beyond the limits of the grounds. Ho was to sleep nml eat In the hermitage, a mat serving its his bed. and food (washed down solely with water) be ing sent him from the house. He wns strictly forbidden to exchange a syl lable with any servant or to speak to nnyonc who visited the hermitage. If he lived there the full term of seven years under these restrictions he wa to receive "(W guldens ($.1,:i(tn), but he wns liable to Instant dismissal with out any payment If found departing from the regime laid down for her mits. The advertisement attracted several applicants, one of whom wns select ed; hut he lied nt thu end of three weeks and henceforth the hermitage was untenanted. Interest In Japan. Among the numerous things which show the Interest that has develisd In regard to the trade possibilities of Japan Is the enormous Increase In the number of letters of lmtilry received by the American consulates In Japan. Where the letters received by the American consulate general nt Yoko hama formerly numbered hundreds, they now number several thousand a year. From all parts of the world these letters come from Alaska, from Af rica, from the most remote hidden awny towns In the States, nnd from the cosmopolitan centers of the world. They contain (picric on all mums of subjects. Hesldes the trade letters touching on Japanese Exports, hosts cf them are Inquiries about missing relatives, requests for postage stamps Information about positions In tln far East, nondelivery of goods bouuiit In Japan, highway transportation and In numerable oilier subjects.

First the natives about Lake Charles, where they lived, were afraid of them, and It wns difficult to get assistants. Then the steamer ran Into rough weather on the way up and the fish.
