POINTERS FOR YOUNG MEN.

Little Things to Remember for Those Seeking Positions. The young man accepting the first position finds that results are what count the most in the world of wageearners, and that the young man who makes ready promises and does not keep them will not be apt to be favored with an increase of salary when the personnel of the working force is gone over to see which of the men in the employ of the firm are giving efficient service and deserving of recognition. The young man must make up his mind to accept his first position with one point in view—that he will work all the time he is on duty during business hours, and that he will not •How any portion of the work to He neglected. The small tasks, he will find, accumulate rapidly, which will make work outside of his regular hours a necessity. A bad habit to fall into is to grumble all of the time that you are doing too much work for the salary paid. When a young man is hired by a business house it is a plain business propo-sitioo-the duties of the position are fully explained, and the employe agrees to do so much work each day for so much pay. If the young man agrees to accept the situation, he also agrees to do the amount of work that belongs to the position, and if be finds there is too much work for the pay, he has the privilege of seeking another situation, the same as the employer has to get another man to do the work if he learns that the young man cannot fill ths position.—Spars Moments.

The Presidential Salute.

The American presidential salute Is twenty one guns, as is the English royal salute; but the reason why just twenty one guns are fired is obscure. Antiquarians have put forth different theories as to this. One states that seven was the original salute; but that in England this was given three times, once for Scotland, once for Ireland, and once for England. Some declare that the American salut« is twenty one guns because the sum of the numbers 1,7, 7, 6 (tba year of the Declaration of Independence) is twenty one.
