IIabitunl Hurry.

The nun, Der of sudden deaths which
occur every year as consequence of run
ming to railway trains and ferry boats is
not inconsiderable. The victims are
mostly persons, middleaged or older.
who, without knowing it, have some dis
ease of the heart
This kind of over-eXertion, however,
does less harm than the common habit Of
being continually in hurry, says I,
writer in the Touth'S Companion. A.
habit which keeps the nervous system at
n perpetual tension leads to excessive
vital waste, undue susceptibility to dis.
ease, and in extreme cases, to nervous
exhaustion. Under its influence persons
naturally amiable are transformed into
petuant and noisy scolds.
The woman who is wife and mother
is peculiarly liable to this habit, she has
so much to do and so little time in which
to do it, in these days when so many
outside things crowd upon her domestic
duties. There is no doubt that hurry
claims ten victims where hard work kills
one.
The man of business suffers in muct.
the same manner. The hurried breakfast
and the hurried skimming over the
morning paper are but the beginning OF
u hurried day. Yet it is unsafe for him
to act in hurry, or in the spirit genera
ted by it. The uncertainties of his call
'ug make entire self-controI of prime
Importance.
School children are victims of the
same evil. They must be at school eX-
actly on time. But in thousands of cases
the family arrangements are not such as
to favor punctuality. The child is al
lowed to sit up late, and so is late at
breakfast; or the breakfast is late, ami
The child must hurry through it, am!
then hurry off, half-fed and fully fretted,
dreading tardiness and the teachers dis
pleasure. Robust children may work off
the effect, amid the sports Of the day,
but many others are injured for life.
Occasionally hurry is hardly to be-
avoided, society being what it is; but the
habit of hurry should be guarded against
as one of the surest promoters of i'll.
temper and ill health.
If necessary, less work should be donei
but in many cases nothing is needed but
n wiser economy of time. Some of the
worst victims of hurry are men who
daily with their work until time presses
Them, and then crowd themselves into q
fever, pitying themselves meanwhile be-
cause they are so sadly driven.

CHINESE INDUSTRY.

Makes Economy Imperative.
Unquestionably industry is one of the
good qualities which may be attributed
to all the natives of China alike. No
doubt the fact that ninety out of
every hundred Cinnamon perpetuaIIy
live "on the ragged edge of existence" is
mainly accountable for this virtue, but it
is unquestionably the leading character
istc which strikes foreigner on landing
in China. No matter whether his eX-
perience lies in the crowded streets of
such cities as Canton, or among the vii
lage communities on the northern plains,
the same ceaseless diligence is observ-
able

the streets of town can not fail TO be
struck with the sounds of labor which
proceed from behind the closed shutters

the country will be robbed of all self.

and i'll every ydnllut throughout the land
mis- example is followed. Such indefa

circumstances, produce a prosperous,

'lation is so dense that it is only by this

Keep body and soul together. Nothing is

The Secret of success.

1t is a mistake to suppose that because
man is rich he will expend money more
freely than a poorer man. As a general
rule, it is precisely because man has
been careful in expending money that ho
is rich. 1t is not SO much in earning as
in saving.

The Mud of Egypt.


Egypt, says Herodotus. is gift of the
Nile. A truer or more pregnant word
was never spoken. OF course it is just
equally true, in way, that Bengal is a
gift of the Ganges, and that Louisiana
and Arkansas are a gift of the Missis-
sippi, but with this difference, that in
the case of the Nile the dependence is
far more obvious, far freer from disturb
ing or distracting details. For that rea-
son, and also because the Nile is so much
more familiar to most English speaking
folk than the American rivers, choose
Egypt as my type of a regular midland.
But in order to understand 1t fully you
mustn't stop all your time in Cairo and
the Delta; you mustn't view it only from
the terrace of Shepheard's hotel or the
rocky platform of the Great Pyramid at
Gizeh; you must push up country early
to Luxor and the First, Cataract. 1t is
up country that Egypt unrolls itself Wis
IDLY before your eyes in the very process
of making. 1t is there that the full i'm
portance of good, rich, black mud first
forces itself upon you by undeniable evi-
dence.-Cornhill Magazine.

The Review Of RerieaCs moralizes over
the fortune left by the late William
Henry Smith. He was possessed of a
personal fortune of $S,500,OO and real
estate OF perhaps as much more, but he
left nothing to public or charitable OBJ
jects. The article goes on to declare
that the fact that he made no public be-
quest has done very much to forward
the determination in the Old World to
pass law which shall levy duties on
the estates of rich men it even goes so
far rs to say that the next parliament
will not expire before an attempt will be
made. to deal with the question of death
duties; that England will probably have
a graduated death tax sooner than a
graduated income tax.
