EGOTISM VERSUS SELF KNOW
LEDGE.

Few things are more vague, TO most
minds. than the word "egOtism, or the
trait of character for which it stands.
The fact that the word finds its root IN
the latin ';ego', proves that, primarily,
it means the too frequent use OF the
first personal pronoun, whether IN the
singular or plural number, the mascu-
line or feminine gender. 1t is etymo-
logically, no more or less than 81 ism.
But if one be all egOtist, that monster
of human folly, at whom every hum
bic individual' points the mOcklng
finger of scorn, merely because he con-
iugates his verbs in the first person,
st. Paul was the chief of egotlsts; and
all modern "editors" are in the apOS-
| tOlic succession.
Leaving this merely chronological
sense as inadequate, what OF the com
mon definition which makes egotlsn

If we say that it was in his own charm
ing style. and eminently well adapted
to meet the peculiar circumstances OF
the case. every one who has ever heard
him will understand something of what
he had to say of Look Up and Lift

Crew of Eighteen Men Goes Down with
Il-Fated Vessel.

Inflated Vessel.
SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. 23.-Capt. Hig-
gins, of the steamer Excelsior, which
arrived Wednesday direct from St.
Michaels and Unalaska, brings news of
the wreck of the sealing schooner
Walter Earle, of Victoria.
The Earle was capsized on or about
April IA during terrific gale off Ko-
diac island and though number of
craft and steamers were reported to
have gone in search of her, none of
them found her until the Cutting ran
across her drifting with the swells
and tides.
Not until the wreck was lowed into
Kodiak and she was righted did the
full story of the catastrophe break on
the finders. In the forecastle were
found the corpses of eleven Indian sail
ors, unrecognizable. They were re-
moved ashore and inferred on the
island. No white mans remains were
found in the vessel, and the story of
the struggle and drowning of Capt.
Louis Magneson, her skipper and
seven or eight other white men, will
never be told. They occupied the
cabin and are believed to have been
swept from the deck of the schooner
and drowned in the gale while the
Indian sailors were huddled helplessly
in the forecastle until she went over.
