No More Young Men.

and is in great part a reproach. There
are no more young men, laments the
writer These grave and solemn be-
ings who take life so seriously and find
so little Joy in their youth can not be
called young men. They talk of depu-
tations when they should be thinking
about balls and pretty partners. In
stead of inditing a sonnet to his mis-
tress' eyebrow. the modern young
man contributes paper to political
journal in which he elucidates the
counsels of Europe and gives his
views upon them. He never descends
to the frivolty of dancing. He mar
ries money. and cares little whether
the lady that goes with it be pretty or
plain, young or old. He is insensi BILE
to all but the very practical issues of
life. His heart beats in his brain and
leaves his bosom cold. Can he be
called young? There is nothing of
youth about him but the superficial
appearance of it Another type o.
the unyouthful young man is he who
dresses like an English groom. talks
stable4and racing, pigeon shooting.
and discusses the repertory of the
music hall. His little soul begins
with his tailor and ends in his cane.

PUGiLISM IN AFRICA.

Contests That Have Some Resemblance
to Our Smuggling Matches.
Dancing is the great amusement of
Africa, but in some parts of the conti-
nent pugilism has many admirers. A
prize fight in the Fellata country south
Of the Sahara desert has not few re-
semblances to our own sport. though it
is much more dangerous and exciting.
There are no gloves. or London or
Queensberry rules to secure fair play.
The Haussa boxers mean business
from the start and not unfrequently
the fighs is ended by the death or fatal
injury of one of the combatants.
Pugilistic exhibitions as they, are
given at K mo. the chief city of Haus-
sa. are fought for purses or prizes.
The ring is formed by the spectators
who stand in q circle, and are not per-
mitted to encroach upon the interior
space. The fighters are trained box
ers usually drawn from the butchers
of Kano. and are big athletic men who
enter the ring wearing nothing but
native waist cloth.
There is no such thing in the prize
ring as friendly contests. The re-
suits are apt to be too serious for that.
and pugilist does not give public ex-
hibitions with friends, but only with
enemies or strangers. They usually
begin mill by parrying with the left
and striking. whenever..1opportunity
occurs with the right. Then they go
at it hammer and tongs. aiming
generally at the pit of the stomach
and below the ribs. At close quarters
each pugilist does his level best to get
the other fellows head in chancery.
and the one who succeeds hammers
away with all his might on his rival
cocoanut. He does not scruple to
gouge an eye out if he gets chance.
The Haussa fighters believe that all is
iair in ring contests, and the specta-
ators agree with them. The only re-
'triction is that they must use only
such weapons of effense as Nature has
provided.
Often when clinching fighter sue
leeds in giving his rival terrible |

ometimes crushed by a kick. MANY |

The Chinese are supposed to have

Modern nations followed their exam

the ancient processes until within forty
years. Since then every decade has
witnessed great advances in this in

THE SOCIAL LADDER.
A Clever Illustration of the Ups and
Downs of Families.

A Clever Illustration of the Ups and
Downs of Families.
Every body knows the way up the
social ladder. 1t has been shown 10
those below by millions of twinkling
feet 1t is broad ladder up which
people are always climbing. some
slowly, some quickly. From corduroy
to broad cloth; from workshop to
counter; from shop boy to master;
from shop to office; from trade TO pro-
fession; from the bedroom over the
shop to the great country villa The
other day bricklayer told me that
his grandfather and the first Lord O's
father were old pals; they used to go
poaching together; but the parent Of
Lord o. was so clever as to open a
shop, where he sold what his friend
poached. The shop began it. you
see. The way up is known
to every body. Bat there is another
way which we seldom regard; it
is the way down again. The Family
Rise is the commonest phenomenon.
Is not the name Legion of those of
whom men say, partly with the pride
of connecting themselves with great
ness, partly with the natural desire
which small men always show to tear
away something of that greatness:
why. 1 knew him when his father
had that shop" The Family Fall is
less conspicuous. Yet there are al
ways as many going down as climb
ing up. You can not. in fact stay
still. You must either climb or slip
down-unless. indeed. you have got
your leg over the topmostrung. which
means the stability of hereditary
title and landed property. We all
ought to have hereditary titles and
landed property, in order to insure
national prosperity forever. Novel
lists do not as rule. treat of the
Sinking Back, because it is depress-
ing subject. There are many
ways of falling. Mostly, the
father makes an ass of himself
in the way of business or speculation,
or he dies too soon, or his sons pos
sess none of their fathers ability. or
they take to drink. Anyhow, down
goes the family; at first slowly. but |
with ever-increasing rapidity, back to
its original level. There is no country
in the world -cerlainly not the United |
young man may rise |
to distinction with greater ease than
this realm of the Three Kingdoms.
There is also none where the families
show greater alacrity in sinking.
But the most reluctant to 60 down,
those who cling most tightly to the
social level which they think they have
are the daughters; SO that
when misfortunes fall upon them they
are ready to deny themselves every
thing rather than lose the social Dig
nifty which they think belongs to them.
