A great deal Is said about capital and
labor, and tho assumption seems to be
that they are the upper and the neither
millstones which grind the worlds grlst.
But there is a third element quite as I'M
portant which Is too generally overlooked,
namely, enterprise. OF the two, labor Is
more indebted to enterprise than to CAPT.
tai for the opportunities 1t enjoys, and
upon enterprise more than upon capital
fall the burden Of loss incident to indus
trial disturbance.
Capital Is proverbially timid, more
afraid Of loss than eager for gain. II

the tugs. Capital has q penChant for re.
firing from business, and living on rents,
coupons, and mortgage foreclosures. Its
anxiety Is to keep, not to make. From
the very nature Of the case the capitalist
Is conservative, with a growing tendency
to look with distress upon business ven
lures. His own experience, probably,
leads him, over more and more, to suspect

The breakdown Of Barley Campbell
playwright and theatrical manager, is a
clear case Of over.work. A man OF deli
cate nervous organism, as any m could
see who talked with him, he gave no signs
Of soitening Of the brain until he began to
make money. When he saw that he had
struck q lead with his plays he began Ia
work II with all his nervous energy, ex'
ploring the libraries and racking hia
brains for plots and situations, working al
all hours and through long hours in a
frenzy OF enthusiasm to add to his fame
and his gains. Not content with this he
must have his own companies on the road
and his own theatre in New York.
We do not know what use MI. Camp
bell made Of stimulants, nerve sedative0
and the countless things that men resort
To In order to make sure Of wrecking
themselves. His Is an exceptional case II
he has steered clear Of these rocks. At
all events he stretched the slender thread
until 1t snapped in twain, and now he ia
laid aside with soitening Of the brain.
Every cane man will admit that a lifeso
led Is suicide by slow processes. Yet
every day we iostle dozens Of men Of the
finest parts who are committing suicide In
this very way. Their brains are ever at
work. In the few hours which they are
willing to give 10 sleep they dream OF their
pursuit, and then comes the times when
sleep refuses to soothe the pillow. Sleep
less, nervous, worn-out, they resort to
alcohol, chloral, opium, bromides, patent
nostrums Of all sorts-anything that prom
iSes temporary relief. But they keep up
the old round and the old g%rind-workl
work, work, until the brain gives way OF
the heart stops beating. The coroner holds
no inquest, but everybody knows 1t Is a
case Of suicide.
At the Sanitary Convention held in
Philadelphia last week DR.. O. X. Mills
read an interesting paper on 1.-THE In
Huence Of oyerwork in the Production Of
Nervous Diseases and Insanity" DR..
Mills urged brain.workers To reduce their
work to a system, get more sleep, when
they feel tagged out to take q short rest In
preference 10 stimulants; to tighten theil
labor as much as possible by a%vaillnE
themselves Of every auxiliary, by using
writing machines, StenographerS and what
ever will relieve them Of any part Of the
drudgery.
Any physician will recommend harmless
amusements which divert the mind, and
open air exercise TO maintain a healty
physical tone. Every man who Is rush
Ing headlonS into mental and physical
destruction will think this advice ex.
Cellent for everybody else. AS for him
he is not yet In the madhouse and he Il
worth a dozen dead men. His time will
come, and then every other man who Il
not wise in his generation will think whai
o melancholy fool he made Of himself.

"Yictor Hugo" by Charles Algernon
swinburne, is a poets tribute to the great
est poet Of his time, The book is a study
of the man and his work, critical, compre-
hensiye, r~eversntial and full OF love. II is
a review OF the liis-work OF the genius
who ruled France more than Emperor or
Presidents and sush a review Is perhapsn no
other than sWinburne could have written,
There are liberal quotations from Hugo in
the original, with sppreCiatiye comments
that reveal new beauties in the song OF
the master OF French verse. Whoever
enjoys Hugo or would know more about
him, should byall means read S%Elnburne's
book, which al once takes liz place as one
Of the fine things In the English Language.
