Rub Lightly.

A story is told of dgni'ary of the
church who somewhat at 'nl,hed an aud
itnce of young clersymen by taking me
above words a. the uxt of an address,
iu which lie impressed upon his hearers
the Importance Of tsct iu dealing with
their lay brethren. Speaking generally,
II may be said that In every walk Of life
delicate treatment and gentle handling are
often the secret of success in dealing both
with persons and things. The great gift
of tact, so difficult TO define, SO easy to
appreciate and admire. is nothing more
than the art which enables its possessors
to rub lightly In all the relations of life,
The instinct which helps US to under
stand characters widely different, which
give US quick perception Of the suscep-
abilities and peculiarlties OF others, Is
essential To all who aspire to deal success
fully with their fellow men.
Even in the most common place duties
Of very-day life, the art of rubbing
lightly Will often enable US to overcome
difficulties aud obstacles which have re-
sisted all ruugher methods. The servant
who Possesses a flight hand" is indeed
"a treasure In the eyes OF her mistress,
aud will succeed IN many little dome tic
duties, where cluIn,y fingers would utter

Though of mot imp rtsnc and zen

there Is ample scope for the exercise of
tact in the narrower circle OF home life
and social gatherings. And here 1t may
De observed that this natural instinct and
insight mo character, Connected as 1t is
with finer feelings of our nature, Is seen
more comm ,nly and in a higher degree
among women than among men. Who
ioes not admire the ready tact which ena-
lies popular hostess to make a mixed
.,arty "gu Of" or, in other word, to mar
nonize the somewhat discordAnt elements

EEL the changes of Temperature, as the
warm and cool currents of talk blow by
urn~Y
If We consider the Importance of tact
in the wider relations of life, we shall tind
that those who can rub lightly achieve a
arge measure of success in dealing with
,thers.
Perhaps the value of tact will be most
readily and most commonly recognized in
The region of diplomacy. And while 1t
nay be said to attain its highest develop
nent in the successful ambassador who
carries on negotiations Of the most deli
ate nature, on which the issuss of peace
# war may depend, 1t is of almost equal
Importance to the great party leader, the
opular bishop, the eminent physician,
he successful headmaster. One and all
# these In their different spheres carry
nut more or less unconsciously the princi.
lie of rubbing lightly with their fellow
men. If 1t be too much to say that "tact
- success" in life, 1t may, at any rate, be
safely asserted that to those whose work
consists mainly in managing or infiuenc
| ng others, the art of rubbing lightly is s
| most important factor in the attainment
| # popularity.-C Chambers Journal.

SIR EDWIN ARNOLD,
OUR DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.

During the coming fall the people of
America will have the opportunity of
becoming acquainted with one of the
most learned among Sanskrit scholars,
and besides the editor of a great Lon
don newspaper. Sir:Edward Arnold
is man of affairs, the writer of thous-
ands of editorial articles, and at the
same time hard student and learned
author. He is best known as the au
thor of 1.-THE Light of ASIA" an eX-
quisite poem giving the life and teach
ings of Guatama, "the Lord" of the
Buddists. He was born in England,
on June 10, 1882. His first work was
in teaching school at Birmingham.
subsequently he was president of
Sanskrit college in India. This Office
he resigned in 1861. After his return
to England he added TO his publca-
tionS-whlch at that time included
translations from the Greek and
Sanskirt, original poems and varie-
ty Of contributions to periodical lite
rature-a History of Lord DalhOu-
sizes Administration and new
volume of poems. Arnold was in the
United States during the civil war
as a correspondent of the London
Daily Telegraph, the paper of which
he is now editor. He was staunch
Union man. 1t has been subsequent
ly to his assuming the direction of
the newspaper that he has found
time to produce his masterpiece.
THE Light of ASIA" another volume
of poetry Oh India, and to produce q
hook of translatiCns from the G eek.
Arnold was knighted in 1887, and
our distinguished visitor will be
known here as at home as Sir Ed
ward Arnold.

JIM DAVIS ON SCHOOLS.

Editor San Atomic LIGHT.
SIR: Now that his honor the mayor
has got back from his Kansas visit,
and this being September and the
time for opening of the public schools
1 ask where is that school house that
we were going to have west of the
San Pedro, this session, that would
be built of brick, the school for which
there has been several appropriations
made by the council, the last being
six thousand dollars, l say where is
it, if there is any one who can answer,
L would like TO hear from them.
1 think it was about a year
ago, that l lent my assistance
in renting the rear part of the
A. NJ. E. church for school,
but did so with the understanding
that it was only to be temporary, but
as have said it has been now just
one year. The place is not applicable
for more reasons than one. The first
and great reason is, the room is too
small aud cramped up. The seats are
almost piled on top Of one another.
The next is, there is no yard or very
little, for the children to play in dur
ing recess.
I said that assisted in the obtain
ance of this place, and tor which I
have been severely upbraided by
quite number of our people, espec-
tally those who have acted with M @ in
trying to get this school. They said
1 did wrong, and 1 am now of the
opinion that they were right, but
what 1 wanted was the school, think
ing that if it was once started itwould
show the need, and we would get
the school built. But it seems that
we are doomed to this cursed IMPOSE
ton while the present admins tration
lasts, and we might just as we'll make,
up our minds and rest until we can
do better, the time will come, for a.
remedy and sooner or later, it is bound
to give way, and justice take her
place. J. r. DAVIS.

ton Committee instruct the president

pose of receiving instructions from
