PHYSICAL ENDURANCE.

Physical endurance is quality
which varies remarkably with different
individuals. The performance Of deeds
of great physical strength depends for
the most part on the condition to
which the muscles have been brought
by previous exercise. The power of
endurance, on the other hand, is large
ly question of inherited constitution.
Persons subjected to the same strain,
such as a long walk or a long boat
race, play out" at greatly different
stages, though the course of training
and manner of living may have been
identical.
In everyday life the same thing is
observed. Men following the same &C.
cupation, and living in practically the
same manner, perform the same work
with decidedly differing degrees of
ease. It is matter Of common OBJ
servation that as a woodsman, a hunts
man, or an everyday toiler, he who
has the quality of physical endurance
in greatest measure will excel. The
same is true in professional life. Or
dinarily 1t will be found that the man
who outstrips his fellows has the
ability to labor long hours together
without exhaustion.
Most men who have been distin-
guished for great physical endurance
have inherited or acquired state OF
mind which is doubtless one secret OF
their ability, namely, freedom from
worry. Worry distracts the mind, SO
that it's energies, instead of being con-
centrated, are divided between two or
more trains Of thought. To the extent
of avoiding worry needless dwelling
upon matters that cannot be helped
the power of endurance may be &C.
quired.
Every mans strength has q definite
limit, limit not determined by that
of others. His physical endurance may
be above the average; it may be lie
INV IL. ilC NV 81 DSyOhu ~,
whatever it is. Before the physical
powers are exhausted, not afterward,
he should rest and recuperate. Each
individual must of necessity learn his
own limits. The best work is per-
haps accomplished by long continued
application, but not to the point of ex-
haustion. Exhaustion may often be
avoided by changing one work for an
other, just as difficult, perhaps, but in
volving another set of faculties.
Mental labor consumes the vital
properties of the blood just as muscu-
lar labor does, and hence it is as i'm
portant to avoid exhaustion in mental
as in physical employment. Wonder
full as the power of endurance appears
to be in certain men, it must be re-
membered that every one is fettered
by the law which rules all organized
beings. Life moves in series of cir
Giles, and part of each circle must be
devoted to recuperation. Great pow
ers of endurance are for the most
part the gifts of vigorous ancestry,
to be used in reason and not abused.

PIONEER WOMAN'S DEATH.
Mrs. :. Il. White, Who Came to Cali

JAPAN'S PROTEST.
1t Was Presented at the State Department
by Minister Hoshi.

1t Was Presented at the State Department
BY Minister Hoshi.
Washington, June 16.-Minister Ho-
shi. of Japan, declined to be seen to-
day about Japan's protest, and Secre-
tary Mutsu refused to discuss the mat
ter in any way, but it is learned that
the Japanese protest was made in per-
son to the State Department yester-
day afternoon by Minister Hoshi.
The news Of the protest was a great
surprise to the Hawaiian legation. and
as soon as intelligence Of it was OBJ
tained Minister Hatch started out TO
learn the particulars. The essential
point as to the protest, it is said, at
the Hawaiian legation is, whether the
protest is against the annexation of
Hawaii or is merely a protest reserving
Japan all her rights under the existing
treaty with Hawaii. 1t is believed that
it is the latter.
The Japenese treaty with Hawaii
was made in 1871, and provides that
natives or citizens of one country shall
have the uninterrupted right to enter
into. reside and trade in the other
country. and also shall have all the
rights and privileges enjoyed by the
people of the other country under
treaty stipulations with Japan. Japan,
under the treaty. consequently has a
perfect right TO have her immigrants
enter the Hawaiian Islands. Under
international law, the annexation of
Hawaii TO the United States would alb
rogate this treaty. However, a new
treaty made between the United States
and Japan some time ago, and to be-
come efficient in 1899, provides that
the United States may exclude Japan
csc. If Hawaii is annexed the effect
would be to permit the United States to
exclude the Japanese from Hawaii. 1t
is taken for granted, therefore, that
the protest is one reserving Japan's
rights under its treaty Of 1871 with
Hawaii.
