Written for The SUNDAY INDEPENDENTLY

Written for The SUNDAY INDEPENDENTLY
have been requested to say something
which may be of benefit to young men. It
is thought that, because I have been a young
man and have worked hard and have
achieved success, / am qualified to advise
others who are starting in life. 1t is not
for me to decide whether or not this idea is
correct. But l am sure that few benefits
can be conferred upon humanity more i'm
portant than to help the young to lead
good and useful lives; and if anything l can
say will promote that end, / am willing and
happy to say it.
Literature, ancient and modern, is al
ready full Of wise and noble instructions on
this very point. I cannot hope to improve
upon the counsel of those who have spoken
before me. But it often happens that peo-
ple will be less impressed by an abstract
statement of truth than by concrete illus.
t~rations drawn from actual life. A thing
may appear impracticable until it is done
After it has been done, or experienced,
by some individual, then other per.
sons ind it comparatively easy to
do again. Bearing this fact in
mind, I hope l shall be excused fol
basing my remarks upon the actions and
results Of my own life. For / am sure thai
what / have done may be don by others
There is nothing miraculous in the success

that ! have met with. If a man has good
principles, and does his best to act up to
them, he cannot fail of success, though it
may not be success of precisely the same
kind or degree as mine. There are innu-
merabie ways of being useful in this world,
and each man has his peculiar gifts and
qualifications. Each man will walk in the
path best adapted to him: but there is no rsa-
son why every path should not lead towards
one and the same point-towards the bene-
filing of men in general. Good principles
are just as good for the artist as for the
artisan-for the poet AS for the %plouRhman
for the man of business as for the clergy
man. II makes no difference what you do,

InciViI Railway Pnrfers.

All English railway companies are
very particular about civility being
shown to the public, with perhaps one
exception, known to most railway men:
but even that company has now i'm
proved IN this respect, as well as in many
others. A baldheaded director of this
company was travelling with some stran-
gers, and at one of the stations one Of
them asked the name of the place. A
porter pointed to the name board, re-
marking, Cant you read:" The direc-
tor was somewhat vexed, but said moth
ing. At the next station another of the
passengers asked if they changed there
for A. "Sit still, and don't bother
this amt a junction" the porter replied.
The director, who was much surprised
at the incivility of the porters, told the
strangers who he was, and expressed re-
greet that they had been so spoken to. a
will see, however" he said. IF they will
speak in the same way to me-" At the
next station he put his head out of the
window, but could get no ones attention
till the train was moving off, when
porter came up and shouted to HIM,
Keep your bald head in, old buffer, or
you'll catch cold" He tuned with rage,
but the strangers seemed to enjoy his
defeat.
There was trouble at those three sta
tons the next day, and three faces were
seen no more on those platforms. Cham

Strange Recovery Of a Diamond

Some time ago the household of gentle
man well known in commercial circles OF
Gravenhurst, Ont, was very much upset
by the loss of valuable diamond ring be
longing to a guest-a lady from New York
Suspicion at once fell on servant, who
was employed as housemaid, bat upon hei
continued and earnest denial of the theft
she was retained, as the gentleman, from 9
sense of justice, did not wish to discharge
her on mere suspicion. A few days aftel
the ring disappeared it was found under
the lady's window, with the solitaire stone,
however, missing, having been pried out
of the setting. 1t was supposed that the
thief had removed the diamond to keep il
from being identified.
The mystery was solved, however, re
Gently in most unexpected manner, fol
in cleaning chicken for dinner the cook
discovered a small round object in its
craw, which, on being cleaned, was found
to be the missing diamond. The supposi
ton now is the ring fell from the lady's
hand while she was in bed, and, the clothes
being shaken next morning, it fell from
them into the yard, where it was found by
the hen, which, pecking the stone from the
setting, swallowed it.-Philadelphia Times.

What 1t Costs to Murder in Thibet,

I had arrived at Kane in an evil hour
in the midst of the festivities of the 18th OF
the fourth moon, when the people from far
and near congregate there and the chiefs
review their men, and when drinking and
fighting are the order of the day. In Thibet
nearly every crime is punished by the i'm
position of fine, and murder is by nc
means an expensive luxury. The fine
varies according to the social standing OF
the victim-l20 bricks flea worth rupee
a brick for one of the upper ten," eighty
bricks for person of the middle classes,
forty bricks for woman, and SO on down
to two or three for pauper or wandering
foreigner, as Lieut.. Lu Ming-yang kindly
informed me. he said that there was
hardly a grown up man in the country
who had not murder or two to his credit;
and later on Mgr Biet, the bishop of Thibet,
corroborated this statement

OUR KIND OF A MAN.

Not An Apollo with snow white hand,
A tride austere, nor yet too bland.
But a heart of gold all through and through,
And tender and sympathetic, too
Our kind of man!
All, one who. walking the worlds broad ways,
Sees little to blame and much TO praise:
Has cheer and smile for the weary throng.
And bold contempt for the bitter wrong
Our kind of man!
Yea, one who. ignoring baser ends,
Liveth for home and the good Of friends:
Where, self forgotten. broad manhood lies,
a star in the glory Of the skies
Our kind of a mani
Who not for theories but for deeds.
Christ's own apostle, with love for creeds.
The worlds brave prophet, after Gods plan,
In healing and teaching ne leads the van

The Sea and Her Children.

An entertaining house game called the
Sea and Her Children is thus described in
Good Housekeeping: The players, with the
exception of one sent from the room. must
be seated in a circle The person having
left will represent the sea All others
must now decide on an assumed name,
which is also the name of a fish; for exam
pie, trout, red snapper, pickerel. This
done, the sea returns and walks slowly
around the outside OF the ring, calling her
children one after another by the different
names they have selected until all have
risen and followed her Then the sea must
run with a varied motion, sometimes
rapid, sometimes slow, enchanting, The
sea is troubled the sea is troubled" Sud
denly she seats herself. and her example is
followed by her children. The unfortunate
individual who is unable TO secure a chair
becomes the sea, and the game is continued

IngersOll on California.

In q recent magazine article. Mr.. Ernest
1ngersoll, the noted writer. says:
''The climate of Southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt.
It's equability is constant. and its dryness
is proverbial. The only complaint made is
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now and
then that rOusing storm would give them
grateful sensation But this sentiment
meets wi no favor from the man who has
just fed from "a superfiuity of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise and to the in
valid dreading the advance of disease, the
still arid atmosphere is as the breath OF
life"
The most comfortable way to reach the
Pacific coast is via Santa Fe Route.
