Queer Causes OF Death.

Nelson Clark, steamboatman of
Paducah, KY, was scalded to death
on the steamer Jennie Gilchrist. He
placed a plank on the boiler and went
to sleep, when the safety valve opened
with fatal result Mrs. Helen Savers,
Of Chicopee Falls, Mass, was drowned
In what Is known as the Bleachery
pond, in the rear Of Dunn's bleachery.
Mrs. sayers was giving her dog bath,
and in some manner lost her balance
and fell forward into the water. Her
head was submerged and she was un-
able to call for assistance or to get out.
William Kaufman, Of Wright County,
Iowa, was attacked by hiccoughs. He
swallowed the proverbial nine cups Of
water, and his family attempted to
frighten the mild commissions from
him, but he grew worse. He was a
man Of strong constitution, but was
compelled to take to his bed, and soon
after died In terrible agony. William
Johnson, of Richmond, Va, was in a
boat out in the stream, with compan-
ions. He lost his balance and fell over
board, sinking quickly out Of sight. A
fruitless search was made for the body,
and when Johnson's friends went to
pull In their heavily laden seines they
were Mortified to find the dead mans
body entangled in the Irvine.

rich. His record In the Cape Legisla-
ture was quite devoid Of incident.
When the tremendous increase In his
mining interest called for the estab-
lishment of London branch this took
the form of a Barnato bank. From
that date he spent most Of his time In
London, living at first IN Earl Spencer's
town residence, but moving finally In
to a magnificent mansion overlooking
Hyde Park.
When In Africa he married and had
three children. two SINS and daugh-
ter. He always had, or professed to
have, boundiess faith In the future of
the Transvaal, and Ills personal popu-
larity among all classes of Africanders
was great. In London, where he was
constantly besieged Ly fiatterers, beg
CARS and projectors OF all sorts of en-
terprises, he finally became quite mac
cessible to all except his most intimate
friends.
His responsibilities weighed heavily
on his mind and he sought ''solace"
too frequently. His naturally robust
constitution had been undermined by
his laborious, exciting life and symp-
toms of softening Of the brain mani
tested themselves. His family and
partners became alarmed at the proba-
bic effect on his securities II this were
known, as they were believed to be de-
pendent solely on his personality, and
friends intended to land Barney Bar
nato at Funchal for months rest.
His mind showed signs Of failing I'M
der the strain eight months before. on
which account he was sent away from
England. His condition became worse
instead of better. He made n public
exhibition Of insanity ut johannesburg
about six weeks before his death, but
1t was attributed to temporary causes.

Very Particular.

Frequenters Of the variety show and
circus are aware that during the per-
Torrance OF acrobats or jugglers the
band usually plays an inspiring march
or dreamy waltz. according to the
nature of the feats. 1t Is generally be-
lieved that the selection of airs played
under these circumstances is left to the
leader of the orchestra, but this Is quite
wrong. As fact, acrobats and Jug
glers are amazingly particular as to
their music, and carry their own band
parts from one place Of entertainment
to another where they may happen to
be engaged. 1t Is easily conceivable
that, when a man has become used to a
certain piece of music, he would be con-
siderably distracted by an unfamiliar
piece played during the performance OF
dangerous and delicate feats-more es-
pecially when the new music Is played
in a different time and key. The lead
er Of an orchestra in celebrated va
riety theater states that acrobats and
gymnasts are accustomed to rehearse
with the band precisely in the way that
vocallsts do, and attributes somewhat
serious accident to trapezist, of'which
he was once witness, to the fact that
some members of the band had on that
particular night been indulging too
freely in stimulants, and the music was
consequently a little erratic.

Tea. Cofrce and Nerves.

Everybody in England drinks tea;
morning, noon and night, and nervous
diseases are consequently on the in
crease there. In this country we drink
more coffee than the English do, with
plenty of tea besides; and nervous dis
eases are on the increase here, too.
Both these universal beverages are bad.

Deafness.

more or less deaf in one or both ears.
A large proportion of this deafness is

In Europe, much of the deafness is
hereditary. DIR. James Kerr Love, Of

Direct Vote of the People.

1t is a singular and not generally
known fact that no official Of the'
United States is elected by the direct
vote of the people. The President and
Vice President are not named In the
ballots cast at a presidential election,
but in their stead appear the names OF
a number of gentlemen, most of whom
are unknown even by name to the
great mass Of voters. The members Of
the Presidents Cabinet are selected by
himself and are. confirmed ON his
accommodation as his personal ad-
visers. Supreme justices, judges of
the Circuit and District Courts are
named by the President, who, with his
Cabinet, dominates, with few trivial
exceptions, all other United States
officials. Members Of the United
States Senate are elected 10y the State
Legislatures. Representatives nre
voted for directly by the people, but
neither Senators nor Representatives
are properly officials of the United
States. While the people of this couD-
try ere the ruling power, the exercise
Of that power, so far as the United
States Government is concerned, is
largely indirect.

specially styled Barnato. Barnato
was an assumed name, sort of stage
name, for he began his life In South
Africa by exhibiting a trick donkey
some twenty-five years ago. Up to
the point where his fortunes began to
decline he made money by leaps and
bounds. and, in 1895, when his good
fortune was mt it's zenith, 1t was esti-
mated that he controlled interests
worth in the neighborhood of hun
dred million pounds.
1t was the fashion 70 call him the
richest man In the world. At that time
he was virtually the king of the Lon
don money market. In the autumn OF
1895. at the boom In Ilaffirs, when his
share Of the comparatively new gold
mines of the Transvaal, South Africa,
was at its height, every man, woman
and child in London with money to in
vest. invested it in ''kaffirs." The craze
was the last of those financial fevers
which periodically attack conservative
England, the "South sea bubble" being
the first. For months ii was the con-
tolling passion in London, and it was
scarcely less rampant in Paris and Ber-
lin. The shares went to unheard OF
figures and fortunes were made in n
day. wy
The center of this tremendous finan-
cial outburst was Barley BarnatO, and
he was conseryativc!y estimated at
that time worth between 100000, 600
and S15O,000,OO0. Among his assets
was n bank originally capitalized at
$12,5OO,OO0. In very few months it's
capital stock rose in value to $45, OO0,-
COO.
Little is known as 10 Barnato's early
life. He was younger son and at the
age Of 20 went to South Africa, then
a much more savage territory than 1t
is now and scantily populated by En-
glishmen or persons of English de-
scent. to seek his fortune. The Kim
berly diamond mines were just begin
ming to be productive. With his few
pounds Of capital he began dealing In
diamonds in small way He was
clever and pushing. Everything he
touched he made successful. In five
years he had earned enough in the re-
tail sale of diamonds to purchase
shares In the mines from which his
merchandise had come. Before anoth-
err five years had passed his holdings
at Kimberley had become very large,
and when. the TraDsvaal gold fields
were discovered he Lad profits to in
vest in them.
In 1886 Barnato was definite money
power In South Africa, and began to
he spoken OF rs the rival of Cecil
Rhodes. Unlike In temperament and
even more unlike In personal ambition,
the two men started in to be hot OPP
ponents. but in 1855 they reached the
conclusion simultaneously that their
respective interests could be best pro-
NOTED by combining forces, and the
Debeers consolidated mines were the
result. one OF the most valuable pieces
Of property of the kind In the world.
Although Barnato represented Kim
berley twice In the Cape Legislature,
he had little time 10 give to politics
and little interest In that field Of ac-
tiyity. Cecil Rhodes uses wealth only
as n means to political control. Bar
nato aspired' only to such control of

"Of . Thousand sesds He 'Bffngeth
Only One TO Bear"
The rush into the learned professions
seems greater than ever, particularly
into the legal profession. Withfn-a
fortnight. says a Chicago paper, sew
eral hundred young men have been nd
mitted to the bar OF Illinois, and the
same thing, to q greater or less extent,
Is going on In all the States. Taking
the As States 1t would not be surprising
to learn that some 5000 or 1000 youths
had been licensed to practice law In
the United States this current year.
Nor Is the spectacle a new one. 1t Is
simply a repetition of what have been
seen for years and years past.
What becomes OF all these youths,
fresh from their studies, full Of amd-
ton and emulous Of the fame Of the
great masters of the law? How many
succeed and what proportion fail? Are
the rewards of the profession SO great
as thus to entice so many to pursue 1t?
And what are the chances for obtaining
a portion of these rewards? Let a
great English jurist, Vice Chancellor
Bacon, who died but short time ago,
answer. 1t became his duty on a GER
tain occasion to receive a class of stu
dents just called to the bar, and he thus
addressed them:
II cannot congratulate you, gentle
men, upon the profession which you
have chosen. 1t is one in which very
few succeed, and most Of those who
succeed wish they had failed"
A few, alas! how few, favored by
good fortune and possessed Of real
qualifications for the profession, finally
forge into prominence and success.
Just read the leading newspapers Of the
country. Here they tell of the suicides
of disappointed lawyers, there of others
driven to desperation, insanity and
crime because Of failure. Glance, over
the advertisements: "A good lawyer
wanted in a commercial establishment;
salary $40 a week. "Wanted-An
active and experienced lawyer to draw
papers and make collections; salary So
per week."
Undoubtedly the law is an attractive
field in the United States. The path
way to power and public station lies
through 1t. The lawyers may be said
to be the ruling class. They make, con-
strue and execute the laws, and are to
be found in the seats Of the mighty.
But where one attains that seat hun
dreds fall by the wayside. "Of thou
sand seeds he only bringeth one to
bear" saith the Scriptures. No truer
word can be spoken of the legal profess
sion. ,AF.-v p.
