all real and imaginary wants, is compell-

another illustration of Defoe's wonderful
faculty of giving accurate descriptions of
places he had never seen; for he never
visited the New World, and vet he could
not have described the view from Tobago
more accurately if he had been sitting on
one of her hills when he wrote We
must not expect to find Tobago the wild
place it was in Crusoe's time. 1t has
since been settled by the English. and
has towns, plantations, roads. forts, and
a military establishments There are
nearly hundred estates, through which
II rivers flow; and this latter fact Defoe
must have been acquainted with. for ne
could not safely have jumped at the con-
clusiOn that there were rivers in Tobaoo
as very few of these Caribbean islands
nave any rivers at all. The island was
at one time in the possession of the
French. and then there were % forts ON
it-one on the shore of each of the %
pays mat lndent its coast. Near the
northeast corner of the island is an islet
called Little Tobago. about two miles
long by one broad. The population is
composed very largely of negroes 1: and
II Is little unromantic to learn that on
Robinson Crusoe's island more than half
century ago the negroes made a little
revolt that deprived the white inha bitants
OF all their vegetables. Notwithstanding
the example of industry and perseverance
that Robinson Crusoe had set them. they
were all either too lazy or too proud TO
cultivate the soil, except to raise sugar.
coffee and tobacco. and this work was all
done by slaves They thought it beneath
their dignity even to have vegetable
gardens. But each slave was allowed a
little piece of land for ''provson ground"
and on these grounds they raised vege-
tables enough to supply both themselves
and the whites. They carried these to
market, and, by selling them. supplied
themselves with little money. As they
had monopoly of the business they
charged such eXorbitant prices for their
vegetables that the Legisl ature passed an
act regulating the prices they might de-
lnand. Like modern monopolists. how
ever they were ready with ''little
scheme. They just stopped raising
vegetables, and in "A short time there
were none on the island. so the Legisla-
ture had to rescind the act and let the
darkies go on charging their own prices.
In August. 1880, all the slaves on the
Island were set free, and on that day
they dressed up in their best clothes and
went to the churches to offer up thanks
givingS for freedom.

They enter the Pyramid.

Pekuah descended to the tents, and the
rest entered the Pyramid: they passed
through the galleries. surveyed the vaults
of marble, and examined the chest in
which the body of the founder is sup
posed to have been reposited. They then
sat down in one of the most spacious
chambers to rest awhile before they at
tempted to return.

our minds with an exact view of the
greatest work of man. except the wall
of China.
"Of the wall it is very easy to assign
the motive. 1t secured wealthy and
timorous nation from the incurSions of
barbarians, whose unskitulness in the
arts made it easier for them to supply
their wants by rapine than by industry,
and who from time to time poured in up

as vultures descend upon domestic fowl
Their celebrity and tierceness rendered
the wall necessary, and their Ignorance
made it efiicacious.
But for the pyramids no reason has
ever been given adequate to the cost and
labor of the work. The narrOwness OF
the chambers proves that it could afford
no retreat from enemies, and treasures
might have been reposited at far less eX,

They rose up. and returned through
the cavity at which they had entered,
and the princess prepared for her favorite
long narrative of dark labyrinths and
costly rooms, and of the different i'm
pressions which the varieties of the way
had made upon her. But when they
came to their train, they found every one
silent and detected; the men discovered
shame and fear in their countenances.
and the women were weeping in the
tents.
What had happened they did not try to
conjecture, but Immediately inquired.
"Iou had scarcely entered into the
Pyramid" said one of the attendants,
''when troop of Arabs rushed upon us
we were too few to resist them. and too
slow to escape. They were about to
search the tents, set us on our camels,
and drive us along before them. when
the approach of some Turkish horsemen
put them to flight; but they seized the
lady Pekuah with her two maids. and
carried her away; the Turks are now
pursuing them by our instigation. but

In short time the Turks returned

tons, and Rasselas could scarcely for
bear to reproach them with coward

escape of the Arabs was no addition t,
their misfortune. for perhaps they would
have killed their captives rather than
have resigned them.

THE CAPITALISTS DIFFICULTIES
From the New York Evening Post

From the New York Evening Post
Many,we were going to say most. NOR
alists, who write or speak on the labor
problem, seem to assume that the capt.
taliSt is always IA man in posses sion of
abundant means with an assured future.
complete master of every situation in
which he finds himself. and completely
free from the anXieties which torment
the laborer from the rising to the setting
OF the sun. But the melancholy fact is
that in modern life the lot of the employ
er Is almost a precarious a. that of the
laborer. DO clergymen who censure
the capitalist for not doing more to lift
the laborer up to their own level realize
that % per cent of the men who go into
business. in this country-that is. be-
come employers of labor-become insol-
vent. and have to begin over again. and
contin ie to fail and try again until they
sink themselves into the rank of the EN-
ployed, and become dependent on their
children or on friends? Do they realize
that nine out of every ten strikes for
higher wages or shorter hours are made
against men who are so absorbed in the
terrible problem of meeting their own
notes and thus saving themselves from
bankruptcy and their families from want
that it would be impossible for them to
bestow thought on the labor problem
were they never so full of sympathy and
pity: 1t is really only among a few
large employers. such As the great rail
roads and great manufacturers. that
there exists the security. the abundance
of means. and the superfuity of energy
and leisure necessary for strong and
persistent effort to lift the laborer. often
As he has to be lifted in spite of himself,
ness or dependence.
Industrial life in themodern world is
tremendous battle. 1t has always been
so. but, as in physical warfare. the hosts
now engaged are larger and the results
more rapid. Too many of our philan-
thrCpists talk as if it was battle in
which only the rank and file persisted.
The truth is that the casualties are even
more numerous in proportion among the
captains than among the men. The pc
culiar combination of mental and moral
qualities necessary to make successful
capitaliSts-that is to make a man who
can save money, keep it and add to its
one of the rarest of human gifts. The
proof of this is to be found. not simply
in the number of capitalists who fail. but
in the small number of cases in which CO.
operative societies for production have
succeeded They are not more numer-
Gus simply because the capitalist quail
ties are scarce among the laborers a
well as among the employers.
