There is no profession that holds
out such tempting allurements to
the youth of today as that of the
metallurgist and mining expert, I"
said Mr.. d. G.. Downs of San Fran
cisco. "Last year. Of the class of
about dozen who were graduated
at the school of mines in the Uni
versity of California, at least ten
have found excellent situations,
with big salaries. Our Universities
cannot turn out expert engineers
fast enough for the demand. When
| was in London last summer an
English scientist told me that there
would be strong demand for years
for competent men, and added that
England kept the United States
drained of its best mining talent.
They are wanted In South Africa, in
Australia, New Zealand; in fact all
over the world. and they can get
higher pay than doctors, lawyers, or
any other class of professional men.
Any young man who is ambitious
for career that will lead to for
tune, if not to fame, and per-
haps to both, if he be industrious
and steady, will make no mistake by
qualifying himself in the direction

the habitue of society, in the narrow
meaning of that word, is not the
exhibition of any monstrous audaci-
ties in sin, but the sordid averages
of petty faults, the everyday little
ness and Misunderstanding, the
dreary mass of cowardly conees-
sions, and of the vulgar compromises
apparently inseparable from the
exercise of social power Not only
do these things sadden spirits of ex-
ceptional quantity, but they pro-
woke passionate protest, and foster
also the haunting belief that there is
somewhere an ample horizon and a
freer air, wherein the soul can spread
her wings, and individuality can
assert itself Seminal
There is a world of truth in the
following homely illustration by the
Champion: "If you take one cat by
himself and pinch his tail he will
scratch and bite your hand. But
take two cats and put them side by
side and pinch both their tails at
the same time they will bite and
scratch each other Plutocracy has
learned this trick. So it gets the
people arrayed in two parties and
pinches their tails and then they
fight each other. Like cats they
never turn to fight the hand that
pinches them"
