The Man Who Tired Carlyle.

There is a story of Carlyle in his old
age having taken the following fare
---oll in La
friend who had had him In charge for
walks, and who while almost always
adapting himself to Carlyle's mood had
on a single occasion ventured to dis
agree with him, II would have You to
know, young man, that You have the
capacity of being the greatest bore in
C~hristendom." The boredom had con-
sisted solely in the rather negative sin
of not having been convinced of the
truth of one of Carlyle's dogmas, a sin
all the more heinous because, instead of
standing boldly up to Carlyle and de-
claring his doctrine utterly perverse,
the companion had betrayed his weak
ness by an ~apologetic tone.
Now, Carlyle liked disciples, and he
respected antagonists, but he could not
endure being merely thwarted without
being thoroughly reused. He felt in
that case that he had made no impress
sion at all on his interlocutor; that he
had neither won him nor excited him
to resistance. And nothing bored him
SO much as that. OF course it is only
exceptionally despotic minds that are
bored in this way.-London Spectator.

The cause OF the recent strike among
the coal miners Of Pennsylvania by
which over one hundred thousand men
are thrown out of work is thus sue
cinctly given by the Sioux Falls Press:
One Of the widest and most generally
adopted strikes IN the history of Ameri-
can labor is that which is ON among the
bituminous coal miners OF the country.
The mine owners in Ohio had agreed to
a schedule OF 70 cents per ton, but those
In western Pennsylvania, Illinois, In
diara and West Virginia had gradually
cut the rate considerably below this
figure, and were enabled by that reduc-
tion to undersell the Ohio operators, SO
that the mines III that state were com
PEELED to shu: down for a good part OF
the g In order to enable the mines
to continue business the workmen con
sented to a temporary reduction OF wages
I % so cents a ton. The national confer.
ence OF miners, held in Chicago on April
10, determined upon an advance OF wages
which was refused by the operators, and
hence the strike which has been SO ef.
fectual that even in some mining towns
there Is not a sufficient supply Of coal
for home consumption.

E ~
The great secret of boredom is TO be
found in two leading qualifications. a
bore must be unable TO find amusement
In himself. aud he must also be unable
to find amusement In any one else. He
must depend for his amusement neither
on his own mind nor on the minds of
his friends, but simply on the gratitica-
ton which it 10 to him TO give q special
direction. or at least to suppose that he
gives q special direction--for he Is a
creature Of the most unlimited crednl-
ity In the art of magnifying his own in
fuence-to the minds of his friends.
He is in despair unless he a imagine
himself a person OF influence, and I'M
luckily he can never imagine himself q
person of infiuence-for he is a man of
very limited imaginative power-unless
he Ii taking overt steps to convince
somebody of something, whether it be
of some technical doctrine like Dugald
Dalgetty's strategic principle, or simply
of his own importance, or even OF the
importance OF his patrons, like Mr.. Col
Inns In Pride and Prejudice. To be a
first rate bore you must have no re-
sources in yourself and no resources In
your friends, but must depend for your
s~atisfactions ON the real or fancied power
of making your friends either think or
do what they would otherwise not think
O do.-London Spectator.
