by any amount of industry, when the man is not naturally built that way.
 Hence it follows that newspaper writer who aims to rise to any or the higher editorial positions must nave wide range, not only of information but of sympathy. He must De ape to know something of great many things rather than to know any one thing profoundly. He must be able to switch his train of thought from one track to another suddenly, and to throw his pen with something like equal ln- telligence and spirit upon half a dozen different subjects within the same week.
 It follows, therefore, that success as a writer for the daily press will be greatly helped by wide rather than deep reading. I do not mean by this to say that the writing journalist should know "a little of everything and nothing much," but only to say that if he is deeply read and thoroughly in formed on one topic only-Say on pol itics, for example-he will never achieve success as an all-round newspaper man.
 I think no young man contemplat- ing career as a reporter and editor will make any mistake in laying a foundation by a course of reading which will acquaint him, first, with the history of his own country; secondly. with the history of his own State and city; thirdly, with the history Of Eng land, and, fourthly, with general knowledge of the present condition or the leading European nations, enough to enable him to feel that he IS 1n- formed correctly as to their relative population. wealth and resources ana the general drift of their present poli- cies in relation to other countries, and particularly in relation to our own Twelve months of close reading, giving to it from three to four hours day, making notes of the main points as he goes, will be well given to this prepara- tory work
 This is a scientific age, and he should study the popular sciences sufficiently to enable him to write an intelligent account of a new electrical machine, or a new locomotive. If he aims to become an editorial writer then all knowledge is his proper province, and he should never consider his education finished, but should read omniVorously. It is true of newspaper writing, as of everything else that what man does not know he cannot tell, and it is only the subjects with which a man is fa- miliar that he can readily write about with credit to himself or profit to his reader.
 I would further advise young men who aim at success in the field of newspaper writing to master the useful though somewhat difficult art of short hand writing. There is no occupation of our day in which the ability to rap idly take down the exact words of a speaker is more valuable. I do not mean by this that it is at all essential for newspaper writer or editor to be a verbatim stenographer. As mat ter of fact, there Is very little verbatim reporting done in the daily press, but there are hundred and one emer- gencies in a newspaper writer's life in

TT IS now thirty-tWo years since
 Mrs Eddy gave to the world the X keynote of the philosophy of Christian Science in the state
 ment: "All causation is mind and
 every effect mental phe- nomenon" To-day tho mother church at Boston, erected at cost or $200,O0 and having local mem bership of twelve hundred and general membership of ten thousand, together with the branch churches To- cated in nearly every city of any size in this country, all having thriving con- gregas sions, bear testimony to the won derful growth of the movement.
 San Francisco is also in the line of progress in this direction. The move ment here began ten years ago when Miss s. E. Bradshaw, personal pupil of Mrs Eddy, located here and began to SOW the seed of her faith and per form her cures.
 From the handful of people who a short time ago assembled for service In Miss Bradshaw's parlors, f1ourishing church with an active membership of over hundred and floating attend ance of nearly three hundred has grown.
 Services of the church are held twice a week, with Miss Bradshaw as the leader. The Sunday morning service consists of Bible readings, While the Thursday evening service is conducted after the manner of an experience meeting. At this session topic which has been assigned at previous meet ing is thoroughly interpreted by volun- tary speakers, while at the same tune many accounts of demonstrations Of healing are given for the beneht or ln- tereSted visitors who are not familiar with the workings of the science. But the people who are most interested in science consider the healing properties as of secondary consideration, and the end, of which it is but the means, is spiritual growth and understanding.
 Christian Science, as expCunded by Mrs. Eddy, claims that the soul, through belief in God, triumphS over sickness and death, and performs mir acles of healing such as are related in the Bible. It is described briefly as the Christianity of the Bible rediscovered. It ignores time. It takes no note Of birthdays. Age. is supposed to leave untouched such as are perfect in health, as taught by Christian Science.
 The movement has 600,000 followers in this country and many in other lands, professed or secret. Its. follow CTS number many persons of great wealth and cultivation, who devote their means and ability to spreading the faith. Their churches are artistic and beautiful. Teachers and readers are surrounded always by beauty and by evidences that Science never lacks for money.
 On Falmouth street, in the Boston Back Bay region, on a S40000 lot given by Mrs. Eddy, a church worth S200,000 was recently built by voluntary con- tributions as a monument to Mrs. Eddy, to whom the church and all it

though undoubtedly mammals through out the greater part of their structure, are oviparous, laying eggs which close ly resemble those of a reptile.
 The animal is found throughout the islands of Tasmania and thessouthern portion of Australia. It passes most of it's time in the water, swimming and diving with the greatest ease, and form ing, for the purpose of sleeping and breeding, burrows in the banks which generally have two orifices, one just above the water level, concealed among the long grass, and the other below the surface. The passage at first runs up ward sometimes to a distance of as much as fifty feet and expands at it's termination into a cavity, the floor of which is lined with dry grass ana leaves, in which it's eggs are laid and the young brought up. Their food con- sists of aquatic insects and worms which are caught under the water, the sand and small stones at the bottom being turned over with their bills to find them.
 Swimming is effected chiefly by the action of the broad fore paws, the hind feet and tail taking little share in To- comotion in the water. When asleep they roll themselves into a ball and in their native haunts are extremely tinid and wary and very difficult to approach, being very rarely seen out or their burrows in the daytime. When irritated they utter soft low growI resembling that of puppy.

Years ago. when the cap tain was in Tasmania, he saw one of the animals and ever since has desired to possess one. It will be added to his collection of curios gathered from the four quarters of the globe during the wanderings of lifetime.

To guard against these people though Mrs. Eddy herself expressly dis claims the need or efficacy of such as- sistance-the faithful surround the Mother of Christian Science with body guard of noble thoughts. To pro- long her life as we should say; to ward off, in the Christian Science phrase, those visible traces of lengthening years. that are due not to natures changes, but to malign designs of men tai malpractitioners, this great leader, as5ailed by those who have soiled the faith she has revealed to the world, is guarded by friends, whose white thoughts, pure and undefled by day, whose loving dreams by night, form a thick veil born of Gods spirit to shield her every hour.
 q don't know when I shall teach again. Perhaps never Not until God calls me. When he tells me to do so then l will send out the word. They don't need long weeks of preparation to come here. Why, last Fourth of July I only knew three days before that I was to speak. 'That night telegraphic notices were sent out and before day light many were speeding on their way here. Twenty-Five thousand people were at Pleasant View. In February, when 1 spoke for the first time in Science Hall here, I sent for forty or my students. Thirty-seven, l believe, arrived here, travelling on special train in order to do so-"
 When Mrs Eddy was told of the growing sin of thieving among women, and asked what influence would cure the 2O00 confessed respectable woman thieves in New York City, she showed, as she had several times done before, that the mere mention of evil things had disagreeable effect on her.
 "Don'tl" she cried. Don't tell me all thati It is like filling vessel with poison which has to be emptied before sweet milk can be put into it. If you fill me with all that I shall be unable

to do anything for a long time until I am rid of it.''
 Mrs. Eddy herself was healed before she healed others. Her own cure led to her discovery of the doctrine she has given to the world.
 These teachings were for years ac- companied by wonderful cures that led to all sorts of confusion in the minds of the public
 Two of these cures have been recently related by Judge s. F. Hanna, editor of the Christian Science Journal, in a secular magazine, ''.
 In 1870, when Mrs. Eddy was visiting in Chelsea, Mass, a cripple. distorted and strapped to crutches, stopped at the: door.
 Mrs. Eddy gave him money Not long after her hostess came across a smart looking peddler in whom, to her amaze ment, she recognized the same man who was apparently doomed to a living death. He explained that immediately after calling at her door his sufferings had become so great that he had to lie down at a nearby house. In an hour all changed as bv miracle, and he was entirely cured.
 Atterward the former hostess asked Mrs. Eddy if she thought such man could be healed. Mrs. Eddy answered: T do believe that he was restored to health" In explanation she said later that when she saw the man her heart gushed with unspeakable prayer and pity, and after that she thought noth- ing more of him until she heard of his cure.
 Early in her experience. in 1867, an escaped lunatic rushed into her room, seized a chair and raised it to dash at her. She looked quietly at him and spoke to him. The man dropped the chair, exclaiming, Are you from there?" pointing upward. and in a mo- ment was kneeling. When he spoke again he said terrible weight had disappeared from his head. Mrs. Eddy found he was talented and educated and a son of a wealthy Beacon street family. A counle of years later the same man called to tell her of his life. He had taken his place again and was a successful man with lovely wife and children.
 At the present rate of increase I be- lieve that in fifty years, aye, less, religious belief in the world; that 1t will have more adherents than any other denomination"
 .'Why are so many attracted to it?''
 Then Mrs. Eddy gave proof of the practical side of her character.
 My dear" she said, they have re- ceived great gift. They believe be- cause they know. They themselves have been healed and have personal knowledge of the power of God as demonstrated by Christian Science. Now, tell me, if you knew of drug that was going to make you well all your life, would you lay in a large sup ply of it.? We'll, that is the way with Christian Science. Haven't I seen the dead return to life, the lame made to walk and the wonderful work of God manifested in many ways?

which the ability to make shorthand notes rapidly is extremely useful, and gives him a decided advantage over the man who has to trust either to his unaided memory, or to such long hand notes as he can hurriedly jot down.
 I might instance in this connection the work of the interviewer who seeks out a citizen of prominence and de- sires to obtain a full expression Of his views on some important puDnc queS- tion. He may be able to make fair and tolerably accurate report of the mans remarks by the help of his mem ory and his longhand notes only; but if he is a good shorthand writer he can make the interview photographf- cally correct.
 Moreover, if he is called upon to has tily make literal copy of some docu- ment of which he can only have pos session for short time-possibly at a consulting library-it is easy to see that he can bring his shorthand writ ing into service with great effect. It seems to me, also, that there is a large and growing field of special newspaper correspondence in foreign countries, in which brilliant and highly paid work is called for, in the doing of which a knowledge of other languages than English is indispensable. 1 would advise the ambitious young man who is thinking that he llas in him the mak- ing of a good foreign or war core spondent to acquire a workable knoWl- edge of French, Spanish and German.
 Beyond these things the successful newspaper writer needs to cultivate the art of making friends He must learn most. after all, from men, not books. It is very important for him to gain the confidence of public men, official and unofficial-of all sorts of men and wo- men who have news to give and in- formation to impart. To this end he must learn the meaning of the little word tact It requires tact above all things to win the personal confi-

dence of people and obtain from them the assistance that is constantly neces- sary to be obtained in gathering news and preparing articles for the daily press.
 I do not know that I can say any thing more of practical value to young men who intend to try their chances on the reportorial and editorial side of journalism. I may add, however, that the same solid qualities of character which help men to success in other fields of work will help them in this.
 The man of good habits, who keeps his head clear, his stomach sound, and his general health good, will have at least three chances of success to every one that the man who is physically un- fit will have.
