BRAIN President Eliot, of
Harvard University kthus yindicates- the
claim of the brain WORKER TO recognition
among the sons of toll. Referring 70 the.
mott IN that study and thinking ase.not phys
ical exertions, so that after prolonged study
a man may be just as 6t for manual labor
as'if he had not worked with his -braiss,
he says This is profound mistake, which
has real danger for conscientious and ambi.
tious youth; such young persons may easi-
ly be betrayed by this false opinion into dis
astrous over.exe.tion. What is called mem
tai labor is really the most cxhausting con-
tinuous physical. exertion which man can
make, although the sense of fatigue from
an excess of what is called brain work is
generally not so irrepressible atthe moment
as the fatigue caused by too much hammer
ing, hoeing or walking" There is nosmall
degree of encouragement to hard working
professional men in this opinion of Prof.
Eliot. No man likes to be considered lazy
or to be counted as social drone. In the
universal prevalence of this sentiment, at
least in the United States, is found an em-
phatic, because spontaneous, testimony to the
dignity of labor. In oil this broad land
there is no worthier mission than that of
industry, and no nobler parsonage than he
who bravely accepts life of toil Courage
aud fortitade combine to make up his char
acter. He is the true hero of our modern
chivalry. In labor there is manhood, sac
ri6ce, worship. Tho toiler, whether with
hand or brain, illustrates the real greatness
and glory of humanity. The more of a
drudge he is while foregoing Incidence and
ease, in obedience to the duty he owes to
himself, and to those dependent on him, the
ampler should be his award of praise. One
Of the best achievements Of an advanced
and advancing civilization is the American
workingman. His is the grandest figurein
our history. A wonderful Transformation
has been wrought on this side of the Allan
tic within single century. We see great
cities with their happy homes, great railways
and canals, immense and widely diversified
industries mechanical and agricultural
and all the material appliances of magnif.
cent national life. And at the bottom of it
all is work.

EPIzooTY. one of our most
prominent city physicians riding on the

"why," he replied, the horses have their
turn of trouble now. Mine is down with

We reproduce from an exchange the follow

of the horses which died of the disease. l
noticed that the disease was more preva-
lent and more fatal in those stables where
horses were hurdled together. First as to
the prevention of the disease: 1t consists
in separating the animals, putting them in
stables completely ventilated and in keeping
the horses clean. The mistake that people
make is in simply providing for complete
ventilation. The air that comes into the
stable can't drive out the ammoniacal gasses.

the disease was checked in Ireland in 1886
The animals were fed on healthy food, and

How GOLD MAKES WEALTH.-Gold
costs much more labor to extract it than
it can be exchanged for, and yet its discov.
cry in any country is the surest means of
that country's sudden enrichment This
comes from the fact that it attracts popula-
ton with an irresistible force, aud in this
way developes every form of industry.
Thus, the British colony of Victoria, in
which gold was discovered abous 1854, had
in 1850 a population of 1862, exported
1891 ,207 pounds Of wool and had SO ,341
acres of land under cultivation. In 1855,
with gold product of 2,793, ,O65 ounces, it
exported 22,5S4 ,234 pounds of wool, and
titled 115, ,155 acres, while its population
had increased to 364,324. In 1873 the
population was 878,442, the wool exports
were 101 300, 300 pounds, and there were / :
COS, PIT acres under cultivation, while the
gold product had diminished to 775 ,272
ounces. These figures afford plain proof
that the gold attracted the population and
their labors created the wealth. Nothing
tends to people the wilderness so rapidly
as the discovery of gold or precious stones
in it, and when once populated the inhabi-
tants remain and naturally turn their at ten
tion from the unproductivc pursuit of gold.

FALLING FROM A BALLooN.-New
York, November IA dispatch from Paris
says a frightful and probably unprecedent-
ed balloon accident occurred last evening
at Courbevoic, near Paris. A large crowd
had assembled to witness tho novel and
perilous ascent of q gymnast called Auguste
Navarro, who, with ine1plicable tool-hard-
mess, bad volunteered to perform number
of athletic feats on trapeze suspended
from Montgolfere balloon named the vi
douvillaise. Rejecting the advice of bystan-
ders, Navarro refused to allow himself to
be tied to the trapeze. There was no car
attached to the balloon. At about FIVE
o'clock the Vidouvillaise was let loose from
its moorings and rose majestically in the
air. Navarro, hlnging on the trapeze, ap-
peared quite confident, and repeatedly salu,
ted the spectators. When, how; 'ur, the
balloon had reached height of nearly one
thousand yards tho crowd was Mortified to
see him suddenly let so the bar and fall.
The tragic descent was watched in breath
less excitement. At last the body reached
the ground, striking with such force that it
made hole in the earth two feet deep and
rebounded four yards 1t was crushed and
mangled almost beyond recognition. Mean.
