The legitimate end of work Is self

work Is for false and unreal ends. eX
hausting our physical powers. 1t is
true that laziness makes u man a slave
10 his ease. but overwork makes him a
slave to his work. The man who would
get rich In hurry, who works from
morning until night, ION the clean
jump" who drives his work with the
fierce determination TO ont distance his
competitors mt all hazards. misses the
great joys of life, to which the wealth
he pursues in such hot haste Is merely
the means. breaks down early in life
and destroys the physical basis on
which work and enjoyment depend. To
undertake more than We can do with
out permanent injury TO ourselves is
wrong. Laziness is the more ignobe
vice. but the folly of overwork Is equal
ly apparent and its results equally dis
astrous. Overwork Is storm that
strikes down the hravest and best.
That work alone is wrought in virtue
which keeps our powers up to their
normal and healthful activity and is
subordinated to the end of self support
and harmonious self development.

The Americans are the greatest cot

drink so much coffee that it already
forms the greatest individual item in

States spends 100000 per year for
coffee. This information Is doubly in
teresting now that Americans have ac-
quired by conquest and annexation two
of the best coffee producing countries
IN the world. The possibilities of cof-
fee production in our colony possess

for years produced one of the finest

ATLANTIC CITY, Feb. 7, 1ssS.-A fire
Music this morning, destroyed half
block of buildings, entailing loss of
about S65. 600 before being under control.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
Oficer Robinson discovered smoke issu-
ing from under the board walk in front
of the Academy of Music. A general
alarm was ent in, but before the engines
arrived the theatre was enveloped in
flames. The fire spread to Lapre's con-
fectionery store and there communicated
to the rear of the Bryn Mawr Hotel.
The flames quickly spread to Bachar-
ach's furnishing store, Rutter's School of
Phrenology, Myers photograph gallery,
the old Mine bath houses, Smiths rolling
chair establishment, and a portion of the
Vitascope parlors on the board walk.
For time it looked as though the
Berkeley Hotel, the largest hostelry on
Kentucky avenue, would surely be de-
stroyed.
The rear of the hotel adjoining the
burned buildings and the stiff westerly
wind famed the flames toward the big
house.
l.
hotel windows and the side of the build
ing and surrounding property was
thoroughly drenched The guests in the
Berkeley Hotel hurriedly packed their
clothing and prepared for a hasty exit
but the wind shifted at this time and
that alone saved the hotel.
The floor of the big Boardwalk for a
distance of half square was SO badly
damaged by the flames that it will have
to be entirely rebuilt. The heaviest losers
are:-
Academy of Music, entirely destroyed.
