 It is not work but wo1y that kills. If . man sill observe these rules he will he astonished at the amount of labor he can do, the number of ideas and thoughts he can emit. Not enc man in one hundred has ever performed half the work he Is really capable of doing. Not one in ten knows how to work to advantage how to work and to save himself fer the next ef- fort To young men About entering the lists these simple suggestions, frour one who for thirty four years has been almost a constant worker, will in after years be found valuable:
 First Do not waste strength in any kind of dissipation. Have your fun seek amusement; not to weaken but to relax your thought flores. D. not waste your constitution by use of stimulants. The use of stimulants may make you brilliant for the time, but you cannot rely on any thing but yourself and your inspiration for steady and constantly increasing re- suits that will add to your reputation and ability to perform
 Secondly. Eat the best and richest food that your appetite craves and most readily assimilates with your digestive capacity. The brain is a jealous m aster and Is never an obedient servant when the stomach, it's quartemaster's depart ment, is not well ra,ioned
 Thirdly. Write or work only when you feel like 1t Never attempt to write when thought does not flow readily, or you will be like pump that, for lack of water, gulps wind.
 Fourthly. Think and write what is the easiest. The rose does not emit the per fume of the pink, no matter how much you biuise 1t. Permit no man, sect, creed or society to handcuff your thinking power. The brain that trots its best in the harness Of another is but a a plug useful only for hack work.
 Fif,hly. Write as you think, under such light as Is before y5u. The stag you are shooting at may move across the field, and even jump the fence but never mind. Aim right at it as you see it, re- membering that it is always safer to shoot over than to fall short. No matter if another does not think as you do. Think for yourself, and let your thoughts come plain. honest, earnest, and sincere
 Six.hly. Do not try to think of two things at time. Attend 10 your hitting to producing results. no m Utter who or how many are firing at you Be not driven from your idea by threats, or by ridicule, as the bone that one dog is driven rom is generally a bone that is wanted by another dog.
 Scventhly. Nature IS the truest guide you can folIcw. Treat yourself naturally. Do that, which adds to your com. fort and happiness, providing it ds:s not weaken you, nor give you pain, or sorrow to others.
 Eighthly. Do not worry. When you have done your best, you have done all that God can do-all that is necessary to satisfy your conscience. No matter what good luck or bad luck you have, keep going to the front, no matter ho~ slowly, and you will get there.
 Ninthly. So live and act that you will appreciate yourself; cultivate your affec- donate nature, rather than your ambi- tion. There is no reason in getting mad when nobody cares, as the less of anger you let occupy your mind the longer you viii five, the easier you can work, the more yog can accomplish, and the better ysu viii be satisfied with results.
