Wolseley's Administrative Powers.

1t has never been my good fortune
to accompany a force on campaign
under the command of Lord Wolseley,
and 1 write, therefore, under some
disadvantage. But the expedition
which he conducted from Malta to
Cyprus when he went to organize the
British administration of that island
was at least of q semi-milltary charac-
ter, and the opportunity oferea OF
watching his methods as well as a
commander as a civil organizer and
administrator. His leading charaeter-
istic struck me as eqManimity. There
were many temptations to irritation,
in the detective commassariat arrange.
ment, in the characteristic obtrusive.
ness of the Turkish authority whom
we were dispossessing, in the hazy in.
d%ehteness OF the situation generally.
But Wolseley, decisive. nay, incisive
when occasion demanded, never be-.
trayed a sign of temper. That he was.
energetic n could discern. not less
than that his powers of hard work
and of fruitful hard work-were ex-
ceptional; but there was no, gustiness
in the energy. and he slid through his-
hard work with apt, bright dexterity.
He never fused; and he never entang-
led himself in the labyrinth OF, tritles.
The absence Of all friction, in his
administrative methods, stood &C.
counted for partly by his own ldiosyn.

The ~planchatta.

There are some indications that; the
mysterious little planchette board, like
roller skating. is coming into fashion
again. No adequate explanation of it
has ever been received, though many
have been offered. The construction
is as you see, a plain, heart-shaped
cedar board fixed upon two metal legs.
to which I adjusted wheels that
move easily and lightly in all direc-
tions. At thepoint of the heart ahole
is made, and a sort of round case is
fixed to hold al ordinary pencil firmly.
That is all there is of it.
Put a pencil at the point. as you see,
put two hands ufca the board, as you
also. see. After keeping the hands
lightly and quietly il their places a few
minutes, p%lanchette will often begin
to write. 1t usually scribbles out yes
and no. and senseless gable of one
sort or another, to which no import
ance must be attached. 1t is claimed
positively, however, that the board
has written intelligent answers to
questions, which those holding their
hands upon it could not possibly be
aware of. 1t may be. But. before
believing this is true, ask some ques-
tons and see for yourself. 1t is one
Of those cases in which the word of no
second person must be taken.. Above
all, do not have any supers:itions
about the thing, taking for granted
that the writing is done by spirits.
Planchette is merely a puzzle, to be
investigated as any other scientific SUBJ
ject would be, on the same sort OF
evidence, aud weighed by the same
Judgment. Don't admit the element
of humbug aud ~witchcraft and nom
and superstition into.your soul.
Thus you will not be likely to lose
| your head, even when amusing your
self with planchette. 1t is a fascinat-
ing study in psychological science, moth
ing more. 1t may be that there are pow.
ers and forces in the human org aniza-
ton that have hitherto been %undevelop.
ed in all but a few exceptional cases.
1t may be that we are on the verge, OF
some marvellous discoveries in mental
science. So much it is safe to admit.
Tho board writes best in the position
shown, with two hands, a right and
left, upon it. What does the writing
nobody knows. The best authorities
have concluded that it is done uncon'
sciously by the person whose hand:
are upon the board. A nervous fluid
is supposed to pass from the hand:
and form a current that moves the
board. The explanation at best is {
lame one. But this mach is certain

SUNSET,

And now on my last cruise 1 20,
And IN a lonely quest;
Yet the wind wakes; the strong tides flow.
Forever to the west,
GOOD by! All wild and strange the sea,
And pleasant is the shore:
But though the coast be dear to me,
shall return no more.
Yet many a golden isle may rise,
And many a guiding star,
Dr. happy shores Of paradise,
Where our beloved are.
The eastern sky looks bleak and cold,
But day is nearly done:
My boat rocks in a track of gold

Good by forever, love! and yet
What may the darkness hide!
On sea or land, if we two met,

Ruskin on Labor and Intellect.

1t is a no less fatal error to despise
labor, when regulated by intellect,
than to value it for its own sake. We
are always in these days trying to sep
arate the two; we want man to
be always working, and we call one a
gentleman and the other an operative;
whereas the workman ought often to
be thinking and the thinker often to be
working, and both should be gentle
men in the best sense. As it is, we
make both ungentle, the one envying,
the other despising his brother, and
the mass of society is made up of NOR
bid thinkers and miserable workers.
Now, it is only By labor that thought
a be made happy; and the profess
sional should be liberal, and there
should be less pride felt in popularity
of employment and more in excellence
Of achievement.
