Some young people are so constituted m to
fuel do Inclination to games, but very much
th reverse; their minds are of such II her as
to retain elasticity without having re
course to systematic diversion. That they
are not characters of small capacity which
exhibit this trait may be shown by quoting
two well known Instances of men highly
uiHtiiiKUHDwl in widely UiUerent careers.
The Duke of Wellington could never be
Induced when at school to throw any spirit
Into the sports or other boys. He preferred
wandering about alone to the engrossing
occupation of football or cricket. Kous
seau consumed days and nights in close
study in an attempt to master the game
of chess, but though he persevered In re
peated endeavors they all came to nothlnsr.
for as often as he sat down to a game all
that he hud learned went out of his head.
Dutsucli Instances are exceptional, and in
most characters hard work unrelieved by
competitive games is apt to produce

It Is difficult to Imagine a young woman
fond of lawn tennis fulling a prey to the
morbid self consciousness which consumed
the Comtesse de Senocterro, whom Talle
mant des Kciut describes as a beautiful
but very foolish woman. One of her fan
cies was to have Billows of every site lu
lier bed even Ir t her thumbs for she
prided herself on her beautiful hands and
slept with them open to keen the joints
smalL Athletics, It is true, are peculiarly
prone to vanity, but the form that vlco
assumes In them is that of the pride of

It is a long descent from games which
Mercihe mind or body to those of pure
chance, yet these have as firm a hold upon
uuman inclination as if they possessed
mem in tnemselves. No more piteous Im.
presslon can be made ou a mind capable of
reflection than is left by a visit to the
tables at Alotite Carlo. Hour after hou
day after day, year after year, the same
crowds gather round them, blind to the
beauty of sapphire sea and glorious sun-
Biune, content to swelter and scramb e and
wrangle-for whatf Well, they are under
itie turau or one or two motive-twode
plorable motives-one the lowest, the other
the saddest, that tan be conceived, for
the Drst is ararice-cf all lust the most
obscene, of all passions the most disas
trous
Valor, self devotion, truth, humanity,
may (so complex is human nature) coexibt
with munh that is evil in a character, but
avarice taints the whole being; unlike
other desires, It is never SJitislied; It Is
never at rest; nothing sweet can flow from
the source which it has polluted. It there
lie no mistake or palliation aliout this:
Avarice Is the primary lure to the casino.
Take away the gold, aud who would be so
childish as to play for counters and sweet
meats? The other and subsidiary motive

A Chronic. Case.
Known, chiefly by correspondence, to
many persons is a certain invalid win)
spends hfr days in Mudyinj her "cuso"
and writing about it. Ih-r letters nre
long, full of unpleasant details and so
burdened with inquiries nnd requests
that they havo to bo nnswered nt almost
equal long th, and most of tlicin are ad
dressed to mon and woineu to whom
time is precious.
Sometimes the invalid asserts that the
use of a typewriter would relieve unfa
vorable symptoms, and asks a hundred
questions about tho different machines.
Again, she finds it necessary to divert
her mind, and turns to literature, rely
ing on an author to tell her what and
how to wrlto. Then she resolves to make
an experiment in treatment, and can
vasses by lettor for a worthless subscrip
tion book that she may gaiu the money
to do so.
But always her "case" is directly or
indirectly the themo of the many closely
written pages, All things past, present
and to couio aro rotated to her various
afllictions. In tho words of a Persian
proverb, "Tho sun shines that the world
may see her wounds." Youth's Com
panion. On Collecting Autographs.
The most clometitary form of the
stranger's lotter is of course the applica
tion for an autograph. This application
is now reduced to such a system that it
causes little inconvenience and should
not be refused. Thoro is usually sent
with tho request a blank card on which
the name Is to bo written, with an en
velope stamped and addressed for its re
turn. Nothing can be more unobtrusive
or mechauicul, though the line of pro
priety Ih at once passed, we may say,
whera two cards aro sent, tlm second
one being obviously for exchange pur
poses or perhaps for sale.
The wary author nover, I suspect,
writes on both cards, since he does not
aim to help out a mere business trans
action. W here any applicant goes far
ther and asks an original letter or copied
passage, the affair becomos more serious.
and some anthors and public men ignore
such requests altogether, as being mur li
more serious consumers of time. T. W.
Higginson in Harper's Bazar.

"An old negro woman has established
anew theocracy at Grenada, Miss.," said
J. II. B. Miller, of CotTeyville. "Her
name is 8cinda, and her followers are
called 'Scinda Baud.' They number
about 400. Scinda is their queen, and
rules her flock with an iron rod. They
use no tsibles at their meetings, for each
member is supposed to know it by heart
If Scinda asks them a Biblical question
they are supposed to have an answer at
once. They have their meetings every
btiuuay evening nnd they aro interest
ing to observe. Too congregation men
and women aro decked out in costly
ribbons and Vads. Their chants nre as
weird as the sobs and 6ighs of graveyard
trees. They dance to tho music of the
banjo and tambourine until they are
nearly exhausted, and then they go
home. fet. Louis Republic,

The rag doll, dearer to the heart of

At a meeting of the South Norfolk
Liberal association ou Saturday there
was an almost unanimous expression of
opinion in favor of tho political union of
Canada with tho United States. Fol
lowing upon the resolution pnssed by
the Liberals of the town of Simcoe on
the previous day this event indicates a
drift of public sentiment which it would
be useless to ignore or belittle. Poli
ticians of tho small sort may try to make,
capital out of the fact that these declara
tions were made by Liberal conventions.
It would be easy to point out, on the
other hand, that two of the leaders in
the annexationist movement, Mr. Solo
mon White, M. P. P., and Mr. T. M.
White, secretary of the Political Union
association, are Conservatives, and that
a majority of the signers of an annexa
tionist document published in this city
are of the same political faith. Toronto

The central part of this route will be

A sailor's trousers are the foundation
on which the learned Professor Ileilprin,
of the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences,
rests his theory that the north pole can
be discovered, and that withiu a few
years. This garment was the property
of a seaman whose ship entered the
arctio regions by Bchring sea. Some
how the apparel got into the ocean cur
rent, was swept away up toward the
pole and finally camo down along tho
shore of Greenland, where it was dis
covered. A ship, argues Professor Heil
prin, can go where these trousers have
been. And it is a fact that an expedition

CHOLERA'S NESTING PLACE.
Hamburg, Dec. 23, It was
thought that extraordinary meas
ures had been taken by the author
ities to prevent another outbreak of
cholera in the spring, but the indi
cations now point to the recurrence
of the disease in au epidemic form,
when warm weather sets in. Seve
ral cases of the Asiatic type of the
disease have occurred recently and
the outlook is serious. Today four
new cases are officially reported,
nnd the people are beginning to
grow restless, fearing that the dis
ease will become widespread dis
pite the cold weather.
The authorities are doing every
thing possible to prevent the dis
ease spreading. Particular atten
tion lias been paid to the water sup
ply, and the inhabitants now find it
possible to avoid the use of the
filthy water of the Kibe.
