GETTING SOMETHING TO DO.
Few Practical Hints on Hunting for
Work.

A Few Practical Hints on Hunting for
Work.
Philad eIphia Ledger.
There is hardly a large establishment OF
any kind, whether it be a newspaper Office,
a mandatory or trade establishment,
that has not applications constantly from
young men who want something to do. 1t
Is often painful to see the hopeless look
upon the applicants faces as they turn
away disappointed; and the scene becomes
the more painful when 1t Is reflected that
many of them doubtless have capacity for
remuneratve work. and would faithfully
attend TO il if they had the chance.
The truth is that the world is slow to take
any man entirely on trust. The greatest
singers, the greatest painters, the greatest
writer's have had to convince the world that
IL had need of them before it was willing TO
give them subsistence. So true is this
that it might almost be laid down as an
axiom of success that is only to be won by a
hard struggle 1t takes the attrti0n OF
poverty to bring out what is brightest IN q
man. II may be hardship, but il seems to
be law of the social economy, and, being
law. 1t must have justice and cOmpensa-
ton III it somewhere.
The question of getting position" re-
solves itself into two grand essentials
first, proficiency OF some sort, which stands
for dollars and cents in the worlds market
place, and next, tact to demonstrate this
proficiency in a way to attact the worlds
attention.
Men and women. who with certain bril-
liant qualities fail to realiZe this truth,
often fancy that the conditions Of success
are hard and limited. Yet theatrical man
ayers, magazine publishers and many others
are subject to the very same law them
selves. They in turn are employees Of the
public. They must suit it, or it will turn
elsewhere for what it wants.
Finally, it ia not necessary that a want
should he proclaimed in order to exist.
Sometimes 1t may be anticipated. Some
times IL may even be created. Whoever
can create want for bis wares or his work
Is on the way to masterful success.
The philosophy of success in life is not a
whit changed from what 1t was in Poor
Richards" day. His homely old maxms on
industry and thrft-which he quantity ad-
mits that he himself found difficult 10 prac-
tice-have not been outlawed by the lapse
of years. There is an impression that OPP
portunities for individual success are being
restricted nowadays and overshadowed by
corporations. To some extent. and tenn
porarily, this may he true, but corporations
in turn are dependent OH the intellectual
and neral qualities that insure individual
success, aud these can no more be dispensed
with than manual labor can be superseded
by the multiplication of machinery.

FREE TRADE A LOST CAUSE.
A Moral Drawn From the Career of

Harrison. Henry George is the ablest
exponent of free trade this century can
boast. He has furnished the Democrats
with all the arguments worthy of the
name which they have used for eight years
past. a free-trader can scarce Oren

indebtedness to him. The Democrats in
Congress. as is we'll known, worked his es-
says into their speeches and had EN- printed
in the Congressional Record. George has
exhausted his ammunition. He has exploded
his biggest shells. fired his heaviest guns,
said everything that can be said on that
side Of the question: and the result is that
the protective theory stands mistaken, is
stronger in America than ii has been for
years. The free-trade Joshua has encom-
passed the protective Jericho seven times,

that there are inherited or structural diff
culties which render the acquisition OF a
foreign tongue more difficult IN ONE case
than in another. For instance, the Negroes
English is generally more or less different
in pronunciation from that OF the Individual
Of al English-Sp speaking nation.
The jew too, frequently retains peculiar
meditation, although he no longer speaks
Hebrew in his family. Aud the only way
to combat difficulties arising from muscular
action is frequent exercise. and repetition
oft repeated must be the rule first most
strictly adhered to in teaching languages.
SPEAKING EXERCISES.
While carrying on the speaking exercises,
questions asked must be so framed that the
answer embodies the greater number Of the
words in them.
For instance: Que trouve-t-on sur cette
table? On trouye sur cette table des livres,
du pepier, des plumes ct de Pencre. Gu Sc
trouvent-ils les livres. lie parier. les plumes
ct l'encre? Les livres, lie papier, les piumes
eft l'encre Sc trouvent sur la table.
Replies should be always given, as we'll
as questions asked in full sentences, thus in
sisiing on conscientious employment OF all
the words acquired.
By a constant repetition of this method
great facility is soon gained In fluent and
correct expression. A certain number OF
the sentences which have been perfectly
acquired by the tongue and ear may be
written after there is assurance on the part
of the teacher that all the words are thor
oughly understood as to their photography
and sgnifieation.
From this to reading print is but another
step in the systematic scale OF those pur-
suing the study of a language, as nature,
history and science indicate all languages
ought TO be acquired.

The question Of the successor to Prof. Sousa
- leader Of the Marine Band means a good
deal to the citizens Of Washington, who have
become accustomed to take great pride in the
work OF the organization. As yet no one has
been selected for the responsible position and as
. matter OF fact Prof. Sousa has not as yet been
formally discharged, although there will be no
trouble in this regard when the popular leader
Is ready to leave. The appointment rests prac-
tically solely with Col Haywood, the COM
mandaait of the corps. The Secretary Of the
Navy cpuld, Of course, take the matter in charge,
although it is not likely he will interfere In
many peoples minds there exists misconcep-
ton as to the status Of the leader OF the band.
He must be q regularly enlisted man. who is
simply rated by tho commandant as leader. To
become leader person must first become a
private and pass the regular examination for
the place. number of applications have been
received from different portions Of the coun-
try, but 1t is improbable that any action will
be taken for some time. Mr.. Petrolln, who has
led the band on a number of occasions. has
probably the inside track at present on the va
can't leadership. He is now on the retired list
and would have to be re-enlisted.
