All things are not good to all men and all

cally observes must have been a wise man as
well as good physician), that zone of the
great precepts Of health and lasting" is ''that

The man who confines his studies within one
unchanging groove viii hardly find his intel
lectual condition so light and nimble, SO free

ing as he who varies them according

and recreation no less than the body; it is not
well to keep either always at high pressure.

wholesome at another. Within the lines marked
by experience it is well that the love of change,

free rein within certain limits which, as the

words Of Addison and happily quoted: "A con-
tinual anxiety for life vitates all the relishes
OF It, and casts gloom over the whole face of
nature, as 1t Is impossible that we should take
delight In anything that we are every moment
afraid Of losing" One Of the best methods of
avoiding that pitiful anxiety-that bloodthirsty

STENOGRAPHERS' CHANCES.
The Relative Demand for Men and
Women Shorthand Writers.

From the New York Sun.
"There is popular though mistaken idea
that the supply of shorthand writer's exceeds
the demand" said the principal of one of the
largest shorthand schools in this city to a
reporter the other day. There ia no reason
why person who can write one hundred words
minute should be out of employment. We
are receiving applications from prominent
business firms and steamship companies every
day, and we are unable to fill all of them. A
pupil, by devoting two or three hours day to
the subject for six months, should be ccmpe-
tent to do ordinary work, and should command
a salary of from $40 to S15 week.
Ills the demand greater for women or men
as stenographers?" asked the reporter az he
majority of pupils were bright-looking young
women. All were intent on their work, some
receiving their dictation, others busily tran
scribing their notes, and still others manipu-
lating the typewriters with nimble fingers.
Men are in much greater demand than
women" replied the teacher. 'You see,
women are naturally careless, and hence men
are preferred where accurate work is required
Boys are in great demand in large Offices where
their services can be employed in the double
capacity of amanuenses and Office boys. They
can be employed in carrying information from
one house to another, going to the bank, and
doing the numerous little Office duties that an
employer would hardly require of a man, and
much less of a female stenographer. II boys
would look well to their interests they would
begin their business careers with shorthand
instead Of going into mercantile houses at sala-
ries ranging from % to S12 a month, and then
waiting several years before earning salaries
equivalent to those which boy stenogrsphers
get the first year Of their employment.

The Staying Powers of Americans.

London Letter to the San Francisco Argonaut
OF all people the English people are the last
to have put before them such an article as this
latest effort of the Blaikie brain. and Ameri-
cans have every reason to feel reseutful to both
writer and publisher. For my own part, do
not believe that American stamina is declining.
To the eye Americans certainly may not show
such beefy and brawny exteriors, such red
necks, and such elephantine calves; but I be-
heve they are generally better knit, have more
wire in them, and can stand a draft on their
powers of endurance under observation-disclosures
circumstances better than can Englishmen.
Give an Englishman his four regular square
meals every day, his regular eight hours sleep
every night, and no thought to disturb his
equilibrium but what he shall do next to amuse
himself, or whether he has q good appetite for
dinner, and he will look Q yeritable Hercules
in flesh. What can he do? good deal-any-
thing almost requiring muscle-so long "a he
keeps up his conditions of food sleep exercise
and absence Of thought. Interrupt one of these
sources OF his national strength, and where
is he?
Let any one try campaigning and roughing
with Englishmen and he will soon see what
loss of sleep, want Of regular food and any
trifiirg business anxiety will do for them. In
short, they lack the enduring powers Of Ameri-
cans, the grit which carries an American over
and above all obstacles, and enables him to do
on one meal and few hours sleep what an
Englshman can only do when he is fed and
rested. have had occasion to compare these
staying qualities Of the two countries, and /
have seen the Americans wiry toughness carry
him along where the Englishman's Drawn gave

ATTACKED BY SCHOOL CHILDREN, ,
A Chicago Officer Compelled to Flee in
Order TO Escape Injury.

CHICAGO, September 23.-Superintend-
ent Frankland, OF the Compulsory Educa-
tional Department, has been trying to get
an appropriation from some source to buy
clothes and shoes for the children who have
no raiment fit to attend school in. He ap-
piled to the County Board for aid, but that
body replied, through the county agent,
that the county had no authority to appro.
pirate money for such purpose. To make
matters worse, Mr.. Frankland's men gath
cred up 1SO youngsters off the Sout6side
streets, and placed them last week in the
Jones and Hale school. They came to
school SO dirty and ragged that the princi-
pals were compelled to put them out or suf-
fer the schools to be broken up.
This morning one of the officers of the de-
partment went up into the neighborhood of
the Jones School to gather up the expelled
children, when he was surrounded by
mob of them, and driven from the scene.
He had to make his exit in lively manner
to escape serious injury.
