LIFE IN THE GREAT CITIES.

Its Tendency Is Not to Enervate Ma
| tiOns.
And as to the tendency of the growth
of cities to enervate nations there is
no proof of it at all unless we identify
the life of great cities with the passion
for idleness and pleasure and self-in-'
diligence, which sometimes, but by no
means universally, accompanies their
growth, says the London Spectator
When you get a large proletariat liv-
ing, as that of ancient Rome and pos
sibly of Nineveh and Babylon did, on
the aims of the rich and powerful, then
no doubt you have the conditions of a
thoroughly unnatural and unhealthy
life, and no one can wonder at the
rapid decay of such cities and of the
nations which gloried in them. But
where the honest working class far out
numbers the proletariat, where the
middle classes of distributors and man
ufacturers and professional men are
laborious and energetic, and even the
class that lives on it's accumulated
wealth contains a considerable sprink-
ling OF serious and disinterested work.
ers, we do not believe that there is
the smallest evidence of any greater
danger in the life of the city than in
the life of the agricultural village or
the pastoral tribe. Indeed, we. "hx1d
regard Oliver Schreiner's pictuS -"
life of the modern Beers as ir.d e
condition of things more pro- of
morbid elements, with its almost COM
plete absence of any stirring or active
intelligence, than any kind of modern
life that is honestly laborious at all.
The Boer life is too sleepy, too desti-
tute of stirring thought or effort. to be
natural. 1t needs at least
the old element of danger and neces-
sary vigilance to render it even grac-
ing.

the bay Saturday night. 1t seems that
the skipper had invited three ladies
aboard the Kenilworth, and about S:45
o'clock started TO take them ashore in
boat from the landing. The boat was
hugging the wharves prettye closely.
When arriving by the side of the Aus

Marion's steam launch coming at full
speed He just had time TO shout:

boat could tell what had happened. the
launch had struck sideways. and the
bow of the boat was thron high in the
air. while the stern was deep down in
the water. Water poured in until the
boat was half full The ladies
screamed and implored the two men to
save them. After while things were
