Henry Irving on Individuality.

aDon't you try to be Daniel Webster.
You be yourself, said Irving, the actor,
in his address to the students Of Har-
yard. aCultivate your own power" Il
was noble address and pointed out be-
fore all the road by which Irving him
self had travelled to fame and fortune.
The world is full of failures today be-
cause men and women have been over
slaughed by Mrs. Grundy, by parents or
husbands or wives or associates of strong
or will than themselves.
If there is person for whom we have
great respect, and we reveal to that in
dividual our most cherished plans and
hopes for our future, and he whistles
them down the wind, saying we are fool
ish and impractical and cannot do what
we desire, we shrink back into ourselves
abashed. So have fallen some of the best
and truest aspirations human being
ever cherished. Then, after years of fail
ure in trying to do what we are not
fitted for, after a lifetime of endeavoring
to make ourselves over on the other per-
sons pattern, we recognize the fatal mis-
take we made. If we had taken our own
heads for it, had gone on boldly and
steadily and wrought out our own aspi-
rations as they were implanted in us, we
| would have been grandly successful in
stead of turning out crippled, stunted,
1warfo1 Dissatisfied heinos
It was to urge them by all means to
develop their own individuality, not to
trim themselves to another's model,
however great, that Irving addressed
the Harvard students. They were to de-
velop their own original powers in all
ways and learn to know themselves.
Then it would naturally follow that they
would learn to know others. "For the
purely monkey arts of life there is nc
future" said Mr.. Irving. He continued
| There is usually if not always a general as
| well as special truth or excellence in every
! great and spontaneous effort, and the result
| which sprang from the power and genius Of
Daniel Webster or Patrick Henry or Abra
| ham Lincoln is to be won by others in greater
or less degree by similar means. But it mus
be always borne in mind that merely to initiate
| Is not to apply similar method. If any one O.
you have great thoughts or burning passion
you will need to copy no style or to limit your
self to no method. Your thoughts will fine
their way to the hearts of others surely a.
the upland waters burst their way to the sea
In fine, the greatest of all the lessons that ar
can teach is this-that truth is supreme an,
eternal. No phase of art can achieve much OF
a false basis. Sincerity, which is the YER
touchstone of art, is instinctively recognized
by all. There never were truer and wiser word
spoken than those of old Polonius:
ITO thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
But how can man be true to himself if he doe
} not know himself? Know thyself'' was a wis
dom of the ancients. But how can man kno'
himself if he mistrusts his own identity and
he puts aside his special gifts in order TO re1
der himself an imperfect similitude of som

Remember ArbOr Day.

Nearly every state in the Union now
celebrates Arbor day. In the southern
section it comes early in April. In the
middle belt the school children turn out
and welcome it with music and parade
the last of April. In the far north, where
the sun does not coax out the leaves and
flowers till May, it is observed in that
beautiful month.
The effects of the labors of those dis
interested advocates Of forest preserva-
ton who inaugurated Arbor day begin
already to be manifest. Instead of be-
ing bare, desolate spot, the yard ofthe
country schoolhouse is now in many
cases shaded with fine young trees. The
children have been. taught to respect a
tree as if it were living thing. So it is.
Along the country roadside, too, ''our
brothers of the field" stand in stately
rows and give their refreshing shade to
the traveller on hot day. In some parts
of the country the timber growth is &C.
tually increasing from year to year.
Farmers learn from their experiment
stations what growths are best adapted
to treeless prairies, and without waste Of
time and labor in experimenting start
their young forests.
A great work, however, is still before
the forestry society, the school children
their teachers and the governors Of states
It is the preservation of the woods around
the headwaters of every stream in thi
country, and also the prevention of thu
destruction of the few magnificent for
ests that still remain to US.

Population Tendencies.

Some suggestive figures as to city and
country population are shown in the vi
tai statistics of London. In Great Brit
ain, as elsewhere in civilization, there is
a powerful trend Of population from
country to city. In all London IS per
cent of the inhabitants are country born.
But, strangely enough, these farm born
persons are found largely in the well to
do districts. In some of these districts
more than half the people register them
selves as born in the country. The rural
inhabitant, who is strong and ambitious,
almost invariably turns to the city with
longing eye as to place where he can
rise in the world and get an easier life
and better pay than on the farm. He
goes to the city, and his expectations are
often realized.
The slum people, on the other hand, are
nearly all city born. In Bethnal Green,
which is the most poverty stricken part
of London, only 121 per cent are from
the country. The rest are hapless city
slum children. Many of them are the
sons and daughters of the strong agri
cultural laborer who came to the city be
cause he could get better wages. Blu
city life saps human vitality and quench
es human ambition, if not in the first gen
Grafton, then in the second and third
Philanthropists begin to see that the only
way to clear out the slums is to start
counter movement from city to countr,
and to colonize on farms the weakest ant
most wretched.

New Things In ELECTRICITY.

a number Of experts have been giving
their opinions as to what the world Of
1900 will see in the development Of cleo
tricity. They say that all the street cars
and those of railways to points within
100 miles of the large cities will be pro-
PEELED by this agent. Electrical canal
boats will glide like romantic gondolas
along placid waters, only much faster.
Electric brooms will sweep the streets,
electric fans will cool the air of homes in
summer, electric heaters will warm them
in winter, electric cookers and lighting
will do away with coal and gas, and the
domestic millennium will begin.
Both the arc light and incandescent
lamp will be superseded by the Tesla il
luminator, which gives a beautiful and
mysterious light without the interven-
ton Of either globe or lamp. We shall
telephone as easily across the ocean as we
now do to our friend in the next square.
Wherever there are water powers OF
coalfelds electrical energy will be trans.
mitted to points a hundred miles away
Instead of loading coal upon cars and
conveying it to the factory or machine
shop to be converted into power, the
power itself will be conveyed in the form
of electricity.
| At this time a machine is at work il
several large Offices which receives ani
prints as fast at it arrives all the news
of the day. It is like constant news
paper being printed all the time. Print
ed matter is rolled off upon piece O.
paper in much the same fashion as thu
ticker prints. A man need not wait fol
his afternoon paper, but can get thu
news at once.

Gas For Fuel. :.

The London Lancet has taken up the
matter of cooking and heating by gas,
with the view of doing away with
smoke, dust and ashes. The gain to
the health and cleanliness of all large
cities would be incalculable. The Lancet
declares that if gas were generally used
as fuel it would even overcome the Lon
don fogs. What it would do for Ameri-
can cities has already been demonstrated
in the few instances in which natural
gas has blessed the inhabitants Of place.
The Lancet includes not only the ad-
ditional cleanliness and increased purity
of the oxygen supply for the lungs in its
estimate of the advantages of gas fuel
It declares, further, that food cooked by
gas is actually superior in digestibility
to that prepared in the old way with
coal. There are sharp heat and plen
tiful supply of air around the joint O.
meat, which improve it's flavor. Beside
that, The Lancet has discovered that ga
cooked meat is richer in gravy than tina
roasted in the coal range. The fat i
fried out quickly and falls into the drip
ping pan below, leaving the joint to turf
tender in its own juices.
All this has good sound. We are al
convinced. Mankind is certainly read
to try gas fuel both for cooking an
warming. Only make gas cheap enoug
for us to afford it. That is the onl
thing in the way.

properties, and have shown that there

Hard as life is now, there was a time
when it was harder. A man who had
been away from his native home in an
eastern state for perhaps two-thirds Of
his lifetime lately paid visit to the old
place. He realized the change for the
better in the customs there when he re-
called how it had been in his boyhood
Then he said lawyers worked in their Of
fees all the evening and thought they
were wasting time if they took a night
off. Instead of closing at or o'clock,
factories kept humming on till 7:30 day
by day, and people did not think it could
be any other way. Now the man finds
that among both lawyers and factory
people alike the evening is given to rec
reation. It may be said, too, that wages
have not gone down at all, though the
hours of labor have diminished. The gen.
tleman predicts that in hundred years
from now nobody will work any in the
afternoon. We may hope he is correct
Certainly when the world is truly civil
lized there will be as much time for rec.
reation and improvement as for work
Then mankind will be healthy, beautiful
and happy.

Do People Marry Too Young?

Do People Marry Too Young?
Some humorous views on this subject
are expressed in a symposium of writers
In the Boston Post. The most humorous
utterances are those which are so with
out their authors suspecting it.
Do people marry too young? ''Time
and divorce courts will tell" says Helen
M. Winslow. The answers are furnished
by four ladies and three men, the men
being respectively preacher, doctor
and the Boston city registrar. The doc
tor, the registrar and Miss Winslow
write of the subject from the standpoint
of keen, cool headed observers and logi-
clans. Two Of the ladies (bless themD

candy eating, novel reading stage. The
minister-Rev. A. J. Gordon of the Bap-;
fist church-believes in early marriage,
because, he says, the wife can help make
the fortune and build the home. But
where two young people are so thriftless
and shiftless that they cannot make a
living apart he is opposed to their trying
it together.
Mrs. Mae D. Frazar wants a man and
woman to wed while they are young and
full of hope and enthusiasm to bear the
burdens which are sure to come to them.
Evidently Mrs. Frazar is under the i'm
preston that if they were to wait till
their hope and enthusiasm were gone,
and at the same time had any idea of
what they were going into, they would
not have the courage to undertake it.
Mrs. F. tells US, further, that at any pc
Rod in life the husband or wife may be
attracted to another, and it is then thai
the test of true affection begins. Does
not this statement tend to warn people
off, not only from marrying young, bu
even from marrying at all?

Gladstone's last public utterance as
premier was parting shot at the house
of lords. It was this: can issue is
raised between a deliberative assembly
elected by the votes Of 100000 people
and an assembly of an entirely different
kind" He declared further that the au-
thority of the nation must be invoked to
settle that issue.
