DarouoM Hurdctt-Coutts, who died
In London recently at the ago of 1)2
years, was one of the most remarkable
women of tho last century. Her grand
father, Thomas CoutU, founded a
noted Loudon banking-house, aud hU
granddaughter Inherited a largo part
of his fortune. She was the daughter
of Sir Frauds Hurdett. but added tho
name of her maternal grandfather to
ber own lu J8."7. She used her vast
wealth lu building schools, churches
aud model tenement)!, in endowing bish
oprics lit Cui Town, Adelaide and
British Columbia, In restoring waning
Industries and In isolating deserving
Immigrants. It U estimated that dur
ing her lire she gave away fully five
million dollars. lu ISSI, when she was
67 years tdd, she married Mr. William
Jit'hmau Ashuiead-ltartlett, born an
American, but naturalized as an En
glishman, who hud at)Ut-d her la re
lieving the sufferings of tho Bulgari
ans and Turl.s afler The war of 187T.'
Mr. Ashniend-ilartli tt Mutinied the
name of his wife. She was already
a baroness, to which rank Queen vie
torla elevated lror In IS71 in recogni
tion of her (treat philanthropies. King

As there U no royal road to learning
so there Is no cor.aln formula for ma
terial success lu life. All the success
ful men give out prescriptions for the
attainment of wealth or other things
to be desired, but these prescriptions
are obviously faulty, since thoy do not
succeed save in a few cases. Most men
remain poor In spile of them. Tho ad
vice of successful :nen Is usually as use
less as It Is platitudinous. This Is be
cause It lumps nil men together, where
as every limn Is a case by lilmof. Hero
Is E. H. Hnrrlman, for Instance, mak
ing public the secret of Ills success. "I
Just attend to business." he says; "that
Is how I succeed. Anybody can do the
same." Vet all of us know hundred
of men who. though they attend to
business ns faithfully as they can, are
not successful oven In a modest way.
They toll early ami late, they neglect
no honest effort, yet thoy live lied i!e
failures so far as material success Is
concerned. Mr. llnrrlmau's syste.n Is
thus Ineffectual with respect to a large
proportion of men, and ho seems to
realize It, for ho goes on to amplify
and qualify his advice very materially.
"I keep In touch with '.natters in which
I am concerned," ho says, "and meet
the turn In events at tho proper time.
Any man of reasonable Intelligence
with ability to appreciate the golden
opportunity and seize It will suooeed
In his endeavors." This puts a very dif
ferent complexion upon It. Attention
to business alone will not sumce. The
aspirant for groat things must also
meet the turn of events at the proper
time; he must seize the golden oppor
tunity and know when to seize It
Assiduity must be supplemented by
qualities which are not common to all
men. And It Is In those qualities that
success resides. Successful men who,
like Harrlman, give advice to those
who wish to emulate them would do
bettor If thoy put the matter another
way. They should say that men can
not succeed without energy and Indus
try, but thoy should not assort that
those qualities alone will command
success. For tho truth Is that success
lu material things la often the result
of qualities which are not entirely ad
mirable, even though thoy are rare.
As for success In matters not material
It can be attained by every one. A man
may live all his life In poverty to die
rich at last In those things which can
not bo bought for money. This Is suc
cess which can not only lto deserved,
but which can be commanded.
I WILD LIFE IN JAMAICA. f
lu Kingston, Jamaica, tho vultures
art' greatly valued as scavengers hnd n
heavy fine Is tho penalty for kllilns; ono
of them. Thoy are to bo seen every
where ond, as they are never molested,
they regard mankind with Indifference.
Another bird which Is protected Is tho
pelican, which may lie soon grubbing
about In tho shallow waters of King
ston harbor at almost any time. The
natives' nnme for the vulture Is "John
Crow" and tho pelican thoy call "Old
Joe."
Jamaica has many song birds, tho
chief of thorn being a variety of mock
ing bird, larger than that found in tho
southern stutes of this country and
somewhat dlffcntly marked. As a song
ster It Is very sweet, but It seems
scarcely as animated In Its singing as
la the delirious warbler of the gulf
states. It Is called a nightingale by
the Jamaicans, with their English tra
ditions to direct them, but It resem
bles that songster even less than does
the American mocking bird.
Poisonous snakes and destructive su
gar rots caused tho Importation of tho
mongoose from India Into Jamaica
years Hgo, This lively little animal
killed oft the snakes and thinned out
the sugar rats, but It esis-olnlly en
joyed destroying tho chickens. Now It
Is n costly nuisance. All the Island
poultry has to bo kept within wire net
ting and usually alsve the grouud und
the price of eggs is high. v
There aro few flies or mosquito- In
the Island, but there are swarms of
the most villainous ticks, which bt'.'.e to
be guarded against continually. To
walk across a pasturo or, In fact, to
step off a beaten path or roadway is re
garded as a very foolish performance
by a Jamaican. Strangers usually be
gin by running headlong Into danger
and thou repenting lu haste.
F'rlrntUliItt with Wild I.lfp.
If a fairy had ever offered to grant
mo three wishes, "tho full confidence
of wild animals" would surely have
liecu ono of them, and probably the
first. If we sock opportunities to Is
friend wild creatures and take advan
tage of them we shall often Had, as 1
have done, that there Is no lack of re
sitonse on the part of the animals. I
once walked up to a pine siskin ns ho
was feeding on the ground and picked
him up in my hand. Ho did not seem
a bit alarmed, aud when, a few minutes
later, I set hlui down, he continued his
search for ftssl within a few inches of
my feet. On another occasion a yellow
throated vlroo allowed me to lift u.f
from her nest when I wished to muut
her eggs, and nestled down comfortably
on her treasures the moment I put her
back. With a forefinger I once stroked
the back of a red breasted nuthatch as
ho was busy feeding on a tree. St.

.Mount of the holy cross.
Justh-e hns only recently been done to ono of the most majestic moun
tains of Colorado. For some years a jM-rslstent rumor has been afloat that
the famous Mount of tho Holy Cross had suffered nil accident In the shape of
a rock slide which had destroyed one of the arms of the cross, or rather had
filled up one of the transverse canons and excluded the snow therefrom, thu
obliterating a portion of the cross. Photographs showing this defect have
actually been mude, but a short time ago the Denver aud Rio Grande Rail
road sent Its photographers, W. II. Jackson, the noted landscnpe artist of
Detroit, and C-oorgo L. Ileum of Denver, on a trip to the wonderful Holy
Cross region, for tho purpose of proving or disproving the statement as to
the partial destruction of tho cross.
Leaving tle town of Rod Cliff, after nn Immense amount of hard trav
eling through an almost unbroken wilderness, the summit of Notch Mountain,
a long and Jagged eminence directly opposite the Mount of tho Holy Cross,
was reached, and from the first point of view ono of the arms of the cross
did nppoar to be missing. However, on bearing to the right and rising higher
a flue thread of snow became visible on that portion of the summit, and after
continuing In this direction for some distance tho entire left arm appeared
and It was found that the cross was as complete aud beautiful as ever.
A comparison of the new photographs with the first one ever made, which
Mr. Jackson took thirty-throe years ago, shows practically io change even
In the sjHits of snow on the mountain, to say nothing or any alterations In
the masses of rock of which It Is composed. Evidently the Mory of the
demolition was started by persons Who hud not ascended to tho proper height
or at the proper point to obtain the full view of the cross. Doubtless this
magnificent mountain will retain lis shape and remain ono of tho wonders
of America for many generations to come. Toledo Wade.
MEMORIES OP THE FARM.
When I was n boy we had ono unfail
ing Job husking corn. Wo husked all
winter. We husked from crop to crop.
It was like a curse on my life. It
waa the unfailing remedy for tho least
appearance of laziness, "(io down to
tho north field and husk a few bushels
o.f com." That was the order and It
hud to-bo obeyed. Aud with a corn
crop running into tho billions of bush
els they still husk It by hand. Why
doesn't somebody who Is sorry for
farmer boys, Invent something? Hush

A llurrmruK of I lie Choru Prove

A New York paper recently contained
on article ujkui tho growing dllllculty
of securing help for the largo depart
ment stores, aud tho writer of this ar
ticle wondered whore all the men aud
girls who only a couple of years ago
stood In lino to apply for work at these
very stores from which the complaints
are now coming have gone, says Harriet
Qulmby In Leslie's Weekly. Hotels
nro complaining uliout tho scarcity of
nii'iils and of waiters, and there Is tho
everlasting wall alsmt the lack of
household servers. Do they vanish Into
thin air? Not at all. The secret of
their mysterious and steadily Increas
ing disappearance Is solved. Thoy go
on tho stage. The hundreds of musical
comedies playing In Now York and
throughout the country swallow up
these girls and men by the thousands.
There are at present being produced In
New York alone twelve musical plays,
in which from luo to 200 girls are em
ployed In the chorus, and at tho hippo
drome 400 or 500 girls aud several hun
dred men find constant employment.
Ono reason of this stampede to the
footlights Is that It means more money.
Few girls in shops earn more than $10
a week, and tho groat majority earn
considerably Ie.s, while tho homeliest
kind, f a chorus girl commands ut
least $15 a week, with costumes fur
nished. If she happens to be pretty
and Is a good dancer, she earns at least
$20 or $2.", and often more. From the
writer's point of view the shop work,
even with Its low wages. Is preferable
to tho life of the choru girl, which Is
anything but beer and skittles; but to
those who only see the glare of tho foot
lights and hear tho music of stage life,
tho chorus ois'iis up n sort of perpetual
fairyland to their mental vision. De
spite the hard work and tho hardships
which form a part of the chorus girl's1
life, there Is undoubtedly a fascination
In It and few that have once entered
upon It care lo desert It for other work.
The man who tackles farming be
cause he thinks it is an "independent
life" never plows a great deal of corn.

DON'T BE A SLAVE TO ETIQUETTE.
By Juliet V. StrMu$.
Certain things have been invent-

I V 2 '1 ,K,rn nobIe p'"8h to do without
them, two or which are law anu eti
rpietto. Neither Is requisite for na
ture's nohlcmun, but unfortunately
such individuals are scarce, so tho
above named institutions flourish.
Uy law wo do not mean those
natural laws of chastity and honor,
which Institute themselves, but
those other statutes und limlta-
JLIKT v. BTBAiisa. tlons, on tb hither side of which
our most jiopular citizens keep with difficulty. Ity eti
quette wo do not mean tho eouiiiion do.-encies and kind
nesses of life, but those little quirks of conduct by which
people of fashion demonstrate to the unthinking masses
that they are very superior, but convince tho resp. viable
minority of thinking jienple that they nro fools. If
either of these things lmras you, bo sure you aro not
to tho manor-born, anil have numberless incarnations
before you in which to learn what those who do not
fret nalnst such barriers know Instinctively.
To do tho naturally kind and polite, thing Is the first
Impulse of a real lady or gentleman. To do the sho.vy
and smart thing Is the ambition of a perverse and for
ward generation, new to richer and to tho elegancies
and refinements of life. (Jood horse sense is a tolerably
fair guide to etiquette, and when this Is supplemented
by a kind heart, he who jiossesses both Is not likely to
make a serious blunler, even lu the most critical society.
There are a number of tilings done In the 'name of eti
quette which are, to say tho least of It, silly, If not
positively rude.
The truth Is, formal politeness Is one of the most
worthless things in tho world, unless accompanied by a
genuine feeling of kindness and good -will. There Is a
kindly and human bearing that must go with It, else
mere mechanical etiquette Is In Itself Insulting.
SILENT GIRL IS ATTRACTIVE.
By Helen OldReld.
There arc few negative virtues which con
duce more to the comfort of the possessor, and
those associated with him or her, than a tal
ent for holding one's tongue. To know when
to fipe.ik, und equally when to be silent, Is no
small part of the necessary equipment for
life. Many a man passes for wise simply
by means of saying nothing and looking intel
ligent when others speak; while those who
talk least make fewest enemies.
"A man who cannot hold his peace," says Carlyle, "is
no right man." Tho strong man keeps his own counsel ;
the foolish babble. It is a weakness Into which most peo
ple fall without reflection, and those who wish to please,
being wise, endeavor to loud others to talk about them
selves, to reveal their emotions, their thoughts, their
hopes, and their feelings. Some wise man has said that
such confidences are "the Insanity of conceit and tho
feebletst species of self-display," which, while severe, Is
frequently true.
A woman, especially, to be attractive must preserve a
sense of reserve; she must, so to speak, keep up a cer
tain amount of mystery about herself. To many persons
this reserve Is In Itself a compelling charm. In a popu
lar modern novel the Imaginative hero wearies of his
bride because he discovers that she Is "too transparent,
too easily understood." Which, however unreasonable.
Is not an Impossible state of affairs. There is an Ara
bian proverb, one of the seven sayings of Suleyman the
Sage, "Never tell nil you may know, since he who lolls
all he may know often tells more than Is wise." The
precept Is one well worth keeping.
DANGER OF OVERPOPULATION.
By Dr. Charles A. L. Reed.
The overpoopllng of our laud Is destined to
be a very practical. Indeed a very perplexing
problem in tho not remote future. The rato
of Increase in the density of the pnpulati n lu
Croat ISlitain for the seventy years from IV-'O
to 1,S!(0 was 11.10 per cent, aud In I'r.inco,
Itclglum and Italy It was less than , loo per
cent. In the I'nltod States for the same
period it was ',."( per cent, and for the suc
ceeding fifteen years the rate of Increase in this country
has greatly accelerated.
Take thee facts iu association with tho additional
fact that much of our great area cannot contribute to
the siistentatioii of tho people, and it requires no vivid
imagination, no prophetic vision, to foresee the time not
many generations hence when the family institution hero
will bo subjected to the disintegratng Socialistic influ
ences that are to-day assailing It under pressure of over
crowding In the countries of Europe.
In India and in China tho jHipuIutlon Is too largo as
It Is. The result is perodlc famines. aud plagues ami
unduly low wages In towns. A dense population Is no
evidence of a nation's proserlt.v, but often the reverse.
TIME TO CALL A HALT.
By Rabbi T. Scnanferber.
W hen certaiu men must starve while oth
ers live in luxury and extravagance, little
mindful of tho struggling sons of toll to
whom life has become a burden und a curse;
when employers treat employes' as tools anil
machines aud fall to see in them their broth
ers; when fraud, corruption, dishonesty, grub
and graft and loot take place In the city, the
State and the Federal legislative halls; when
Senators are entrapped in luud-grubblng schemes and
unholy family relationships; when deacons of tho church
rent out their hotels for low and Immoral purposes
because this nets them a large Income on their invest
ment; when devotees of the church und synagogue rent
out their tumbledown, ramshackle, uninhabitable tene
ment houses to the poor, becuuse they bring them usuri
ous returns; when the youth of this country aro stunted
and blunted nnd dwarfed through inhuman child labor;
when factories and railroad crossings and tho murderous
railroads send thousands to an untimely grave, flu; time
has come for every lover of humanity to cry a halt and
to use every influence to have such legislation passed

SILENCE CLUB OF PARIS.

Have Some! Iiliiic to Nay.
"It Is not sin-prising that tho first
year of the Silence Club of Furls has
closed with such gratifying results that
the club may be said to have achieved
success iu Its decidedly unique sphere
of usefulness," remarked a psycholo
gist to a Washington Star num.
"I look for similar clubs to be es
tablished In this eou i try among tho
cult, as their found;lon and purpose
Ik anything but a joke or of n freakish
nature. The Idea is new iu this coun
try, however, though tho success of tho
Paris Institution will give It an Im-IH-tus
among the advanced thinkers
among us and those vho have made
the Interesting problem of mental phil
osophy a critical or a pastime study.
"The rules of the society do not cull
for absolute silence, but the members
are supposed not to talk unless they
have something to say. Chatter Is ab
solutely tabooed. Each member pledges
himself to avoid noisy places and par
ticipation In public dcinoiistiatioiis. At
a recent meeting the members divlarod
that since thoy had joined tho club
their nervous systems were 4 1 i much
lietter condition than before they be
came members.
"Of course such a club could not lie
ooiiiHsod of the fair o. even though
they were all devout teliovers hi and
followers of psychological teachings. A
congregation oomimsed of silent women
would be iuiMSKlble of conception, aud
while our fair sisters may experience
chagrin that they are to be shut out of
participating in any form of club life
among themselves that is also indulged
lu by their brothprs, this Is one form
of assembly that Mrs them out. Neith
er would politicians be eligible for
meiiilMrshlp, unless a a disciplinary
men sure.
"The club Is based upon tho Bound
psychological principle of not doing
unnecessary thing or calling tho brain
cell Into play by unnecessary thought
In practical everyday life this princi
ple Is exemplified la the establishment
of retreats among certain of the relig
ious creeds to which members may re
pair for meditation and rest, and in
medical circles It is Ehown in another
form In the so-called rest cure. If ono
wishes to enter Into a study of a mild
form of this particular principle let
him consider the amount of wasted en
ergy, physical and mental, that the av
erage person each day exends In need
less talk and need less action; It will
bo found to be prodigious.
All rules of mechanics converge to
the concent rut Ion of force and tho
elimination of waste energy. In hu
man affairs generally every Individual
endeavors to expend as much energy
as ho can in the simplest as lu the
greatest of ills endeavors, seeming to
think that the more force he puts Into
on act. a thought or a speech the bet

WOMEN OF ZANZIBAR.
Thr I uiill) l llf In lh- ;reiit.
Sfclaalon In lli- Pitylimi-.
The Arab women of Zanzibar live lu
great seclusion lu the largo white
licuscs, never going out In tho daytime
from one year's end to another, says
tho Manchester (iuardian. A little cook
ing and sweetmeat making Is their only
recognized employment, though some
few of them can do beautiful silk cm
broidery. To lie on their beds and Is'
fanned by their slave girls Is the usual
occupation of the richer women.
If they want to visit their friends,
or, as is more often the case, to jht
ambulate the town, they wait until 8
o'clock In the evening, when a gun Is
fired warning all Mohammedans that
It Is the fifth und last hour of prayer;
then they may go out. They aro en
tirely enveloped In a largo mantle, and
their faces are completely hidden by
very ugly gilt masks, with oblong slits
for tho eyes, and ninny of them wear
these even In the privacy of their own
homes. Their other garments are trou
sers and a tunic reaching below the
knees, which Is often embroidered and
trimmed with gold braid. They have a
number of gold and silver ornaments,
nose rings aud earrings, bracelets,
anklets and so on.
They are very light in color, many
of them cream colored; their features
are regular and good, and they have
dark eyes and stain their hand and
nails a reddish color with henna. It
they want to go any distance from
home they ride through the narrow
streets on large white asses stained n!
brick red, their slaves running by their
sides, but you generally meet' then!
stalking solemnly along, surrounded by
their slaves, who curry enormous Iao
terns as big as a London street lamp.'
Very often they do not return homo
till 4 lu the morning, w hen another guaj
Is fired, proclaiming the first hour of
prayer. It Is very awkward at times,
