EXCESS OF ENERGY.

THE GADFLY OF COMPETITION.
Proverbial Philosophy That Is Tartly to
Illume Labor, la Itself, Without IMg
nity LrHrn to Kent Kflvcta of Uver-
tiul) "Fostlna Iento."
The vice of the Nineteenth century is
vxcexs of energy. While it is trim that
there ure except ional cases of those who,
in familiar hhinir, arc "born tired," tlie
characteristic of the time is a iu.shiii'-',
driving, restless, uneasy habit of mind
nnl body, a constant htriijlo to f;ct on,
touttain wealth, or fame, or position, and
nil this too often with utter disregard of
the means employed, and wil.ii ?t criminal
caiiessnesH of the wear and tear of the
machine, mental and physical. We are
htuiitf by the K'Klliy of competition, and
goaded to renewed effort by ambition ami
the well meant but really pernieoiis ad
vice of those to whom our success in life
is near and dear. To be content with our
station in life is regarded as un-American
nnd unpatriotic, ami as every soldier in
the French army is said to carry a mar
shal's baton in his knapsack, so every
American youth is presumed to have
enormous wealtii or hij'h political station
within his reach, and if he fails to strain
every nerve to gi.isp it he is deemed what
our Anglo-Saxon progenitors culled "Did
dering" a worthless, useless, umhition
less fellow.
Some of the cheap anil tawdry Poor
Kit-hard style of proverbial philosophy
must bear its tlmro of the blame for this
condition of affairs. The remark, at
tributed to Daniel Webster that "there is
always room at the top of the ladder" has
probably been instrumental in turning
out more joor and inefficient lawyers than
all the law schools of the country. The
poor, deluded disciples of Blackstone fall
to see that there is so much room because
r,o few reach the top of the ladder, and
that the top rounds fire more often at
tained by a series of happy accidents than
by plodding industry, especially if the
plodder have industry find nothing else.
"DKi.MTV OK LAIloU."
Another phrase about which folios liavo
been written and on which the press, the
pulpit and the stage have expended much
eloquence, the "dignity ot labor," is
equally mischievous. Labor in itself pos
sesses no quality of dignity. It is irk
some, disagreeable, sordid, mean and
grinding. It extinguishes aspirations for
higher things; it exhausts the capacity
for enjoyment; it makes an abject slave
of a free man. And yet we are told, ad
nauseam, of the dignity of labor. Labor
is only a means to an end. It is a period
of probation, to be followed at some time,
as we all hope, by rest. j
There may be, and often is, much dig- 1
nity, much elevation of character, in the I
man or woman who labors; but this is not 1
because of his or her labor, but in f:pite of j
it. A human soul will shine through any j
disguise, and true nobility of character
will reveul itself under the most adverse :
circumstances; but to say that one pos- I
sessing those qualities has them mulli-
plied or intensitied by labor is to say that j
a lovely landscape would be made more
beautiful by being viewed through
smoked glass, or that a fair woman is
more fair in rays and tatters than in siik
or satin.
LEAKX TO KE?T.
But since toil is the destiny of the lm- .
man race, a destiny as inexorable as fafe '.
itself, is it not the part of wisdom to seek
to alleviate our condition by every means
In our power? Though we are hemmed '
in by the iron walls of necessity, nothing j
prevents us from making our imprison- ;
ment as endurable as possible, and to do ;
this we must cultivate the capacity for re- j
pose. We must learn to rest as w ell as j
to toil. We must become impressed with
the absolute necessity for cessation from
labor and the urgent demand of mind and
body for recuperation.
Activity of any kind can reach its most
successful results only when it is alter
nated by sufficient periods of rest, and the
capacity for repose must be developed in
every man if his best possibilities are ever j
to bo realized. Modern science has siull-
ciently demonstrated this so far as merely
physical culture is concerned. Xot only '.
is the imperative necessity for sleep uni
versally acknowledged, but it is also con
ceded by all students of human energy :
that at least one day in seven should be
kept as a day of rest for the body, and this
Independent of any religious considera
tions. Many and careful observations
have been made on this question, and
their result amounts to an actual demon
stration that no man or set of men can
work effectively more than six-sevenths of
the time, and that any attempt to run the
human machine beyond this limit means
its destruction. i
6TKAISED BY STUDY. j
Mental vigor is equally dependent upon
the harmonious relations of activity and
repose, and ignorance of this most im
portant fact is a defect in every modern
system of education. The constant ten- ;
dency of the age is towards too rapid de
velopment of the mental powers and
towards reaching the goal too soon. Tho
powers of thought are often strained too
tensely for their own good, study is made
too continuous and too monotonous, and ;
refreshment for the wearied brain is too j
little studied or considered.
But how could it be otherwise? Teach- !
crs and leaders have never been taught to ,
rest. How, then, can they teach others?
They are constantly urged forward by tho
pressure of public opinion to perform, or ;
attempt to perform, miracles. They sire
expected to put so much into a child, no
matter whether the child is capable of .
retaining it or not. Their positions often
depend not on what they have taught the
children or pupils under their charge, but
upon how much of the curneulnm il.i y
have gone through in a given time
ehort, they are expected to Miccessfu'ly
manage the machinery of the I'nxru.-U:
bed, and make the pupils lit the k.--.-. :.

Two years later I met Cetewayo, tha
Zulu chief, in the garden, under British
protection. Knowing tho colonial secre
tary, I obtained permission to visit his
majesty at tie; residence assigned to him
by government a plain, scantily fur
nished farm hotic, fourteen miles from
town, near a station called Wynbcrg.
lie was attired in Zulu full dress, con
sisting of a necklace of lions' and chee-
tubs' claws ami a gorgeous Jeopard skin,
j worn skirt fashion, and as he rose to Lis
; full height to respond to my salute and
j receive my little donation he looked in
I truth what even loss of power, need 1
say liberty, could not deprive hint of
every inch a king, savage as of old, when
in his days of undisputed sway, master of
lifo find death over thousands, the royal
"koom," t he salute of a welcoming people,
thundered hi his ear; then a conqueror,
now a prisoner.
Somehow I felt sorry for the brave old
fellow, who could meet defeat so ilaunt
lessly, and 1 must have shown it for ho
took my hand when the interpreter told
him that i was not of the. nation of his
conquerors, and gave it a riglit royal
squeeze. I advised Jus majesty to present
the queen and prince "of Wales wit h a lot
of ostrich leathers on his approaching
Visit spring of 1NS2) to England, but he
gave but a mournful smile, shook his head
mill pointed to his surroundings, a plainly
furnished room, a few wicker seats, a
tabic ami a colossal arm chair, the poor
old fellow's throne, .and mournfully ex
claimed, "This is all I have." 1 felt sorry
1 Jiiid mentioned t he subject, and with an
other hearty grip of the royal hand which
1 partially evaded 1 took my departure
for the day. liis majesty expressed a de
sire to see mo again.
TIIK MON'AUCIl'S SEVEN WIVES.
A few weeks later I called to bid him
farewell, business demanding my return
to Kimberly. I had brought with me as
ji parting gift, a dog a handsome New
foundlander having learned that ho had
often expressed a wish for one. Cetewayo
on this occasion wore a navy blue suit of
serge and a Zanzibar fez or cap made of
camel's hair. I liad to endure the shake
again, but suffered gladly for the sake '
Witnessing his delight to behold one
was not of a people he hated. His voice
rang out in a volume of sound that caused
a stampede in m ?id joi:,T room, and
seven .. ... . ; airs
of black eyes looked iu t. v;h:t was
the topic of discussion. But a royal roar
made them skip back to their own domin
ion, their fat black faces disappearing like
startled fawns at a lion's roar, one falling
over the other in their hurry to obey. I
thought his majesty was jealous of letting
strangers' eyes behold his merry wives,
for they were lightly attired clad Zulu
fashion in a coat of shining, not very aro
matic oil, numerous anklets, bracelets
and necklets juul gigantic earrings, all
made of large white and blue beads.
1 did him injustice. Five minutes later
he had seen and highly approved of the
dog his delight was unbounded. The
merry harem was called in, and I l;ehell
their majesties of Zululand. and royal
specimens of their people they were, each
able to vanquish three or four of the stout
est white men in Africa, so the king
proudly stated. I didu'fc express any
doubts. They were too near and the aroma
was strong. The climax of kingly grati
tude was reached when his sable majesty
offered me the choice of one of the lot. To
quote the interpreter's literal translation:
"Oh, stranger, you have gladdeued the
heart of the friendless king, and he loves
you like a brother. In his own land he
would say: 'Behold here mine, the king's
kraal. Three hundred wives are there and
5.000 head of cattle. Take of my abun
dance, for the king's brother is welcome
to all.' But my kingdom is gone, though
my heart remains. 1 would honor you as
a king would like to do honor to a friend,
lie has only the seven gazelle eyed daugh
ters of his people, lie loves them and
clings to them, but take the one that
pleases you best, oh, my brother, and if I
return to my land my people shall do thee
honor and I will welcome thee.' "
AX VSrLEASAXT PHEmCAMEXT.
Momentarily I was paralyzed. An
other wife! Jerusalem! and a black one!
Well, I thanked his majesty for the in
tended honor, told him that "my seraglio"
was already overstocked; in my country
four was the maximum a man of moder
ate fortune could well manage to handle.
However, I thanked him kindly. What
the interpreter told him I never could as
certain; suffice it to say that the whole
royal crowd abandoned their dignity and
laughed till tears started, and three picka
ninnies commenced to bawl. Cetewayo
wanted to shake hands and the youngest
merry septuple wanted to hug me. I
evaded both by producing another lot of
confectionery and calm was restored. But
night was drawing nigh and I had to say
goodby. I've often felt sad at partings,
but seldom have I been more touched than
at that time.
Merciless, savage, cruel, relentless foe,
the English called him. I judge not. He
may have cause to be so, but I had found
him gentle and kind to those that wished
him well and could see no sfgn of cruelty
displayed towards his wives. Their last
act was to present me with a lot of bead
work necklaces, anklets, etc., while the
parting gift of the stern old warrior, who
had lost his kingdom and had so little left
to give was the necklace of cheetah and
lions' claws and the camel's hair cap from
Zanzibar. I have both, and shall never
part with the gifts of my savage black
friends. Another shake of the hand, nud
I stood it bravely all round the circle
this time and I mounted my horse and
galloped towards Cape Town. Once I
looked around and I saw them standing
as I had left them the black king shading
his eyes against the settling sun, the dog
fawning by his side; in the background,
on the threshold of his home, his wives,
"the antelope eyed daughters of his
people," who loved him and had followed
him into exile. A mist came into my eyes
and I saw them no more. Cor. Philadel

The pen with which John makes his tea
marks is a curiosity. It is a hair brush
placed in a quill, and is very much like
the little brushes sold with toy paints.
When ho writes he never touches his fin
gers nor wrist to the paper, but grasps
the quill in tha middle and begins to paint
very much like an artist retouching a
picture. Singularly enough there is not
an instance of a Chinaman being unable
to write his language, and many of the

WOMAN AS A JOURNALIST.
What tho Chirr Kill tor of "The New York
Herald" Say ou the Subject.
Br. Hepworth, of The Herald, needs no
introduction, as Ids clerical duties, his
books and lectures to young men have
made him known throughout the country.
Dr. Jlcpworth is quoted by all who have
met him as possessing the manners of a
Chesterfield. He is of strikingly intel
lectual appearance, and invites conliuenco
at sight.
"Be seated, please," he said kindly, as
I entered the editorial office. With him
I resolved to try oliier tactics than those I
had pursued with his great rival. So I
said:
"Dr. Hepworth, I want a position on
The Herald."
"Yes?" inquiringly looking up with an
encouraging smile, find adjusting his
glasses as if to get a better view of the
one who had made such a bold demand.
"What can you do?"
"Anything," I replied, with a candor
that wtis probably about as startling as it
was 1 rue.
"Well, that's what The Herald is in
search of. We want talent, and we are
always glad to give everybody a trial.
Sometimes Ave are compelled to search for
the person, wo desire. Mr. Bennett has
told me to allow every reporter to try
writing editorials. I try first one find then
another; and what if I am disappointed
times innumerable? I tun bound, some
time, to lind the 1 silent we fire in pursuit
of, and when that occurs the reporter
chosen has secured himself a permanent
position. J ust as soon as the man with
that talent is found I'll transfer him from
the reporter's room to the editorial desk.
"Do you object to women entering
newspaper life?"
".No, I do not object; but still there are
many things about it not suitable for
women. 1 could not think of sending one
to the police or higher criminal courts, as
1 could a man. Even if 1 did, the officials
there would give her as little information
::s they could, in order to get rid of her,
and very likely, just as she was leaving,
the most important news v.v.uld take place.
Xow n male reporter would stay there and
hear and judge of the cases for himself.
As all that the paper cares for is the
news, it could not afford to be represented
by one continually liable to lose impor
tant information, lint crime and crimi
nals, though important, do not engross
all our columns, and there is much other
work women can do, and do well. In
this respect I might specify the gathering
and writing of clerical, fashion and so
ciety news. I'ntil, however, the public
demand a different kind tf news, so long
women be unable to serve as all
around reporters. The very sources from
. hich we obtain a larger portion of our
ne... render it an impossible Held for a
woman. On account of the sensations
and the scandals which are demanded by
the present popular taste, a gentleman
could not, in delicacy, ask a woman to
have anything to do with that class of
news. That is what bars her from rcnor
torial success, absolutely."
"Do you favor employing women upon
the work they can do?"
"Yes; because on such news matters
they arc preferable to men. But, do you
know, they are a restraint in fin office?
The men do not feel at liberty to take off
their coats or rest their feet on the desks;
and then I might as well add they are
too much of a guard morally. When
they are within hearing men cannot give
vent to their feelings in the language fill
grades of angry men employ; conse
quently the result is apt often to be
sc-rious." Here he looked up in a half
dubious manner, as if to see what effect
the statement had.
"Then, if you are not opposed to women,
why don't you employ more?"
"Because, the work which they can
properly do being limited, there is no de
mand tor their services. We have a
wuiiinti, an old journalist, whom we are
send'.1 x to Ireland. If a woman has the
same ability and the same means of
securing news as a man, she has the same
chance upon The Herald. What we le
mand is the best, and we don't care what
form it conies in. When we find what we
want we are willing to keep it at any
price." Nellie Bly in Pittsburg Dispatch.
Testing Superstitious Fancies.
Some time ago, in a conversation with
a gentleman from the country, an in
stance of superstition was brought to my
attention that was different from any
thing I had ever heard, though it may not
be new to some of you. "A hcrse died
for me last spring," ho said, "and I asked
a neighbor to huh a pair of horses to the
carcass and drag it out to tho woods. He
seemed unwilling to do so, and I offered
to compensate him. 'Oh, it isn't that,'
he replied, with ay embarrassed air. 'It's
a bad thing to do. It is quite likely that
one of the horses will die within the year.'
I hooted at the superstition. 'I've known
it to happen more than once,' he said,
with a dubious shake of the head. He
finally consented, accepted SI, and hauled
the dead horse to the woods."
"And ilid one of the horses die?" I asked.
"Inside of ten weeks," was the prompt
reply.
Now, the story was true, bu the ex
planation was sheerest nonsense, and yet
I'll venture to say that you can't beat it
into the head of the farmer who lost the
best horse cf the pair. The great mistake
in connection with testing superstitious
fancitsis that we are apt to make a note
of the one instance in which they come
true, and neglect to make a note of the
other nine instances in which they fail.

How Women Ilegiu to Drink.
Out of an examination of 204 inebriate
women I have found that ICS began their
drinking by the tise of beer, t37 by drink
ing whisky (as punch at first, usually),
20 began with wine, 8 with gin and 11
could not remember what beverage was
firstused. These young girls, mill and
shop girls largely, began by going to some
so called refreshment saloon with their
friends, and the debutante usually began
by sipping a little tonic (made of hops,
sugar and water, charged with carbonic
acid gas and colored with burnt sugar);
beer scon followed, and soon rioting,
other kinds of intoxicants,- recklessness
and crime; and what was an innocent,
foolish girl yesterday, is today a branded
criminal, and all for a glass of beer.

The general rule is that when a me

construction of a mnrh TTiA invfintc a vol-
nable improvement, the invention is the I
property of the inventor, and not of the ''
employer. It may be that when an em- !
ployer hires a man of supposed inventive
ininil to' invent for the employer an im- i
provement in a given machine, under a :
special contract, that the employer shall '
own the invention when made; the inven-

Night hunting with a jack light Is a
pnielico which the law seems hardly aide
: to check, nnd it lias a strong fascination
for both guides find amateurs. It goes on
all summer; and as conditions of success
are a dark night find absolute quiet, there
j is little fear of detection. Benson, after
: his return from one of these secret ex pe
! ditions, Kfive me an enthusiastic descrip
tion of his feelings. "There was a sense
of mystery find adventure even iu our
creeping away from camp at dusk, hug
ging the west shore of the lake in tho
black shadow of the hills and pulling into
the river, where we waited for complete
darkness. Then we lighted the jack, on
a staff ou the bow of 1 he boat. I crouched
behind it with my gun, and the guide un
shipped the oars and took his padule. I
thought 1 knew that river by heart, 1 had
I fished it so olten; but the fantastic mid
beaut if ul sights which broke upon me in
the moving light made it seem like an en
chanted stream. A patch of lilies would
dart out of the darkness and just glisten
and vanish; the alders, as we swept by
them, turned to silver. Sometimes tin
beam of light shot into an arch among the
trees and opent d for tin instant a vision of
fairy land. We corkscrewed our way
through that narrow find crooked pass
age where 1 ho bushes brush you on bot h
cheeks, and before the river broadened
again I had lost all idea of the direction
find almost forgotten what 1 came out for
I think that the miraculous silence was a
great part of the charm. The guide never
took his paddle from the water sending
us on by just ti little turn of his wrist
und there was not so much ns a ripple
about the boat. It was the greatest night
1 ever had!"
"And the deer?"
"Oh, we didn't get any deer; but I
didn't care for that. About midnight
down by tho rapids, we heard fin old buck
whistle and go crashing through the
bushes, but we didn't see him, and lie
wasn't very near. Tho guide said: 'The
fool, he's been shot at before;' and
that was the urst word spoken since we
started down the river. We came home
after that. It was the greatest night I ever
had. I would not have missed it for any
thing." Adirondacks Cor. New York

Two Waj-H of Navigating tho Nile.
There are two ways of navigating the
Nile. The modern way is by a line of
steamers owned by the khedive. The
"antique" method is supplied by the da
habeeh. The dahabeeh only provides that
sense of dreaminess and slowness which
one needs when journeying back into the
centuries. But as things are done under
the present dispensation, tho traveler
may, and usually does, have opportunity
to try both methods of travel during one
journey.
The wind is not always good to the da
habeeh, and she is often glad to accept a
tow fit the stern of the more independent
fellow traveler. On these occasions there
is a generous interchange of courtesies (so
unusual on a marine voyage), ami one
may enjoy the privilege of pacing two
decks on one and the same day. if the
bustle of the steamboat, becomes too ex
citing for one's half languid condition,
there is usually a hearty oiler made to
share the quieter, dreamier, lazier going
of the dahabeeh. Only a cable's tow sep
arates them, find an Arab crew is always
ready with a small boat to undertake the
perils of the voyage between.
In making a choice between these two
methods tho traveler may feel assured
that in tho preparation for the journey
and in the start tho excitement does not
differ a piaster's worth. The difference,
in fact, however, is this: The steamboat
passenger may calculate fairly the time of
his return to Cairo, but the datuibeehist
will escape that heart sickness which
conies from hope deferred, if from the first
he abandons all expectation of returning
at any time, certain or uncertain. Prom
the moment he is pushed away from the
quay until ho returns he is the vassal of
the wind and must bead his proud spirit
to its whim.
The dahabeeh is conducted by a private
dragoman and crew. They are yours.
The steamboat is a public conveyance,
arid is much less yours. Edward B. Wil

English. I.ovo of Sport.
Hares are almost formed on purpose to
be good sport, and make a jolly good dish,
a pleasant addition to the ceaseless round
of mutton and beef, to which the dead
level of civilization reduces us. Coursing
is capital, the harriers first rate. Now
every man who walks about the fields is
more or less at heart a sportsman, and the
farmer having got the right of the gun he
is not unlikely to become to some extent a
game preserver. When they could not
get it they wanted to destroy it, now they
have got it they want to keep it. The old
feeling coming up again the land reas
serting itself, Spain you see down with
feudalism, but let us have the game.
Book down the long li,t of hounds kept
in England, not one of which could get a
run were it not for the good will of the
farmers, and indeed of the laborers.
Hunting is a mimicry of the mediaeval
chase, and this is the Nineteenth century
of the socialist, yet every man of the field
loves to hear the horn and the burst of tho
hounds. Never was shooting, for in
stance, carried to such perfection, perfect
guns, made with scientific accuracy, plans
of compaign among the pheasants set out
with diagrams, as if there was going to
be a battle of Blenheim in the woods. To
be a successful sportsman nowadays you
must be a well drilled veteran, never los
ing presence of mind, keeping your nerve
under fire flashes to the left of you, re
ports to the right of you, shot whistling
from the second line a hero amid the
ceaseless rattle of musketry and the "dun
hot breath of war." The English Illus

Civilizing Australian Aborigines. .
The action of the government of New
South Wales in offering 300,000 acres of
land to any missionary society which will
undertake to civilize the natives of that
province is a characteristic illustration of
the tardy effect of the Anglo-Saxon con
science upon the policy of English speak
ing countries, in regard to dark skinned
natives of territories colonized. When
the Australian aborigines were numerous
enough to be troublesome or in the way
cf new comers, they were shot, poisoned,
allowed to die of smallpox and bad
whisky, and generally treated much as
the Indians were in many sections of the
United States. Now, however, the na
tives are few in number and dwindling
rapidly, and they excite something of the
sentimentalism which we know so well in
our Indian affairs, to say nothing of a de
sire to do some sort of justice to a race
destroyed in the home of its forefathers.
The idea probably is, though it may not
be very definitely conceived, that each
acre cf the tract to be granted to the mis
sionaries will atone for the murder of an
aboriginal lord of the land, and that V;n
acres will square accounts for the burning
ot a native village. Cleveland Leader, i
