smoke of the battle TO the reserve vessels,
brought them up in time, and saved the
day.
The annals Of our navy record many
similar gallant deeds of sailors who have
risked their lives in the water, while every
year the government awards medals to
people who have saved others from drown
ing by their ability 70 swim. Indeed one
of the greatest of Americans, Benjamin
Fra nklin, was famous swimmer, and
wrote two eeHays on the subject which
are interesting reading. Few men have
possessed such command over themselves
in the water as he, for he was not only
able to fly kite while floating asleep on
the water for an hour. While in Eng
land working at his trade as printer his
swimming feats caused him to be SO much
talked about that at one time he had
serious thoughts of opening swimming
school.
The exploit of Brodie will doubtless
lead many to undertake tasks of long
distance swimming, but it will do far
more good if it aEakens general interest
In an accomplishment which is not only
likely to prove of great use to its posses
sors but which can honestly be class ed as
an innocent and healthy amusement.

The Individual Soul

You fancy that you are inseperable
from your husband, your wife, or your
child. Yet; after all, how near one
another are you? Apart you are by all
the breath and spaces of individuality.
You sit before each other, and If you are
walled up alive, you could scarcely be
more Inaccessible so each other. Have
you the least idea of what is passing in
that brain before you-whst memories,
in which you have no share, at this mo-
ment sweep through it? What old sor-
row, glooming again at some chance en-
counter of sound or scene, casts its
shadow over the eye for an instant, and
you have no sympathy with 1t. What old
Joy makes the heart beat more quickly
and you know nothing of it? With the
best desires for union, for complete
knowledge of each other, for absolute con
fidence, for life melting into life, thou
sand inextricable, inexplicable little
threads catch and hold you in their mesh,
lmprlsOn you, lead you and keep you
apart. The mother, too who thinks her
little daughter is utterly at one with her,
has never a thought unshared from her.
might find, could she but penetrate the
recesses of the childs heart, life as dis
consciously, but a necessary fact of iden-
tity, and Individual development and
growth, as the ripening seed is distinct
from the carolla of the flower. Many of
these souls long aud desire to approach
each other, to lay aside this loneliness.
But get it is in loneliness they must tread
the vine press of their sufferings, only in
less loneliness must drink their draught
of Joy "a loneliness that can only be laid
aside with life, if even then. And the
most awe-inspiring fact of all this loneli-
ness is the lonliness of death at last, the
going down into the depths OF The dark
river, the proof of its cold waters, the
moment when neither plying face nor
loving lips nor helping hand can reach
Us, the entrance into the unknown; alone
but for the trust that we came into this
world only to be met with loving arms, it
is loving arms again that shall meet US
there; alone except a great hope walks
with us, hope that must also have walk
ed with US here if We would have its COM
partnership when the waters close around
us, without which the loneliness is indeed
appalling but with watch it ceases TO be
knowp, or to be felt or TO exist

Your Trouble.

But robody's else trouble is SO big, SO
broad, so deep, so BLACK IS your trouble.
Other people, Of course, have trouble and
perplexity, but since you do not see them
or feel them they must be mere trifes as
compared with yours.
You were obstructed in the street the
other day by cripple while hurrying on
and dwelling on your trouble. In your
mind you "blew him up" for being clumsy
aud for not getting out of your way as
quickly as you wanted him to. That man
is in perpetual bodily pain. He is just
able to crawl around. What has crippled
him has crippled also the means for
getting his bread. He had on his only
suit of clothes, considerably the worse
for wear, and does not know where the
other suit is coming from. He owes the
doctor, rent day is nearly due, family
depends on him for support, he can't
work at his trade, and things look black
all around his borizen.
But his trouble is not to be compared
with yours, of coarse.
That woman you just passed in the
street paints pictures for living, or 1t
would be better to say tries to get a
living by painting pictures. Family of
four children to provide for, dissipaCed
husband, certain style to keep up to get
fashionable patronage, best foot foremost
in the parlor, very short commons in the
DINING room, and the struggle with the
world without cessation from week to
week and month TO month. Goes out &c
give lessons rain or shine, well or i'll, and
comes home only to hear complaint and
wants, meanings and muttering.
But what's her trouble compared to
yours?
That man you bowed to is On the verge
of bankruptcy. He knows it and feels
it, and has been feeling it for weeks.
But what is his trouble compared with
yoursf
That woman who has just gone out of
the street car has husband addicted to
opium, and for the last two weeks, in the
privacy of her stylish home, has been
running him through a fit of the opium
horrors. None but she and the family
physician knows of it. The children are
told that papa is sick; that is all. This
is not her first experience of the kind
with f'Pa pa," and she has now little hope
that it will be the last.
But what is her trouble com pared with
yours?
This is only the fag-end of the list.
The streets are full Of such troubles.
Where one is revealed ten are concealed
But which trouble among them all can be
compared with yours?
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1888-08-30

they scattered in every direction with
marvellous agility.
1 was not the only observer of the
scene. High up near the mountain top,
pershed upon a leafiess tree, sat two
eagles hungrily cycling the movements of
their coveted prey. I fancy however,
that as long as the latter keep to the
woods and avoid the open ground they
must be comparatively safe from the
attack Of such. I am aware that the
eagle known as the HAPPY in Brazil, lives
chiefly upon monkeys for its food, yet it
cannot swoop down upon them among
the trees or it would get killed by strik-
ing against the branches.
A worse enemy to the monkey ia the
panther, but even that active animal can
not owing 10 its great weight, reach the
branches where q monkey may take
refugS.

Bantu Superstition.
From the History of the Doors in South Afr

From the History of the Doors in South Afri-
Ca
| The Bantu have no definite idea Of the
| mode of existence of their deities, but
! the southern tribes suppose them to liz
| habit dim underground caver1s. They
regard the unseen world in which they
believe with unmingled dread, and drive
reflection concerning it from their
| thoughts whenever it is possible to do So.
Before their intercourse with white men
it had never struck them that the acts OF
this life could have any effect upon the
spirit after death. They are in no sense
an imaginative or speculative people, but
dire3t their entire attention TO such ma
teriai objects as Immediately affect their
welfare. In such condition. progress
towards 9 higher kind of life, unless di-
rected by some external agency, is nearly
impossible. In other words, self-develop-
ment must be g very slow process, if it
can be accom- plisbed at all. For, first,
their greatest dread is that of offending
the spirits of their ancestors, aud they
hold that any departure from established
customs will assuredly do this, and there
fore bring evil upon them. Next, their
belief in wichcraft is opposed to pro-
gress of any kind. For man who is
not chief, and who differs from his
fellows by being mentally in advance of
them, inevitably draws suspicion on him
sells of being a wizard, and where there
is no foreign controlling power, surely
falls a victim to their fury. The belief
in witchcraft is to this day the cause of a
terrible amount of suffering among the
tribes that are independent. All events
that can not be readily comprehended-
sickness in man, murrain in cattle, blight
in crops, even casual accidents-ale by
them attributed to the agency of wizards
and witches, and not the slightest COM
passion is felt for any unfortunate wretch
whom the recognized witchirder of the
community points out as guilty. Con-
fscation of property, to ture, death, are
the penalties of being charged with this
ideal offense. It is believed that one man
can bewitch another by means of any
such a thing as few hairs from his head,
clipping of a. finger nail, piece of
clothing, or indeed anything whatever
that belongs TO him or can be brought in
to contacF with him, or can be concealed
in or about mis- hut. Occasional cases of
real poisoning undoubtedly occur, and
each such case is additional proof to
them that their belief is correct. They
have strong faith in the power of charms
70 turn aside evils, believe in the efficacy
of certain medicines to give them coar-
age or to make them invulnerable IN
battle, divine in the issue of warlike op
erat;ons by revolving cruelties, practiced
on animals, have an immense fear of
meeting with ghosts, and firm belief IN
the existence of malevolent water spirits.
