To Investigate Christian Sci
ence.

The Medico-Legal Society plans to
do precisely the right thing with re-
gard to Christian Sclence--namely,
subject it to capable and impartial
exposure of its methods and claims.
To that end the society will appoint a
committee composed of two physicians
two lawyers and two Christian Sclen-
tists-all of them men of repute and
learning and integrity.
The committee will not concern it.
self at all with the religious aspects
of the matter, for both science and the
law in this country recognize the
right of every human being to believe
whatsoever he pleases, and to wor-
ship in any way that he may choose,
so long that in doing so he neither
wrongs others nor violates the
laws.
The inquiry will be conducted first,
to find out whether there is any sclen-
tlfic truth or value in Christian Sci
ence," and If so precisely what 1t is;
secondly, to ascertain whether in as

Had Robert Bonner Geniuse

Nowhere has the problem of success
in life been studied more assiduously
and successfully than in the United
States Nowhere else could a deeper
interest be taken in the consideration
OF all the conditions which lead to sue
cess. And having achieved so much
success by good hard work 1t is only
natural that we should incline to be-
lieve that even genius itself is only the
expression of the utmost capacity of
industry
This belief is borne out by the many
cases in which unquestioned genius
has achieved its results by hard work.
1t is strikingly illustrated by the car
eer OF the late Robert Bonner, print
er, to whom readers of newspapers and
writers Of books owe great deal If
he was not genius he was man
whose unusual industry and original
ideas achieved results hardly disting-
uishable from genius.
AS a poor boy in strange land, with
his absolute poverty and strangeness
as his only advantages in the struggle
for mere life, he not only worked, but
loved his work so well that when ap-
prenticed as a typesetter he became
the fastest typesetter his trade has ev-
er known. Being both able and will
ing to work eighteen or twenty hours
a day if need be, he quickly passed
from hand work to head work, after
the fashion OF Franklin and Greeley.
Early in his successful life he gave to
American readers of clean fiction such
a weekly magazine as they had never
been able to get before, and out of his
profits he paid to the writers of the
day such good round sums of clean
cash as American literature in its
widest flights OF fancy had never
dreamed of, and made a handsome
fortune for himself and a paying
property for his family.
Was it genius that did this, or only
industry?
The decision, though interesting, is
not essential. No man knows what
he can do until hetries, and if he tries
hard enough he may develop some
thing SO near to genius as to make it
difficult to define it. AT any rate, he
may safely count on doing what Rob
ert Bonner did-he may solve the
problem Of success in life for himself
and in doing so render good service to
his fellow men.-New York World.

Evils Of Continued Anxiety.

Some years ago l collected the sta
tistics regarding the lives of stock
brokers in a certain city and was sur
prised to find that nearly every person
who lived a sober life and continually
studied the ups and downs of the mon
ey market failed either mentally or
physically in a short time-less than a
dozen years-ultimately disappearing
from active life. On the other hand,
the men who were operators of great
skill and coolness and who lived regu-
larly most of the time, but occasional
ly gave way to the drink habit and
disappeared several days at time on
account of helpless drunkenness, lived
longer and had fewer mental disorders
1Ihs, Of course, cannot be construed
into an argument in favor of drink
ing even occasionally, but was to my
mind very strong indication Of the
benefit coming from the occasional
complete relaxation from intense men
tai anxiety. Frequent vacations pass
ed in the woods or at he seaside with
out social duties, and where temporar-
lily men could resort as nearly as poss-
ible 10 primitive life, even for short
periods, would, l am convinced, be
much better, Protraeted anxiety with
out rest breaks more men than does
hard intellectual effort.-Medlcal Rec

the climax by stating that the man

speech throughout was very uncom-
plimentary to the city press.
Marsch told the president that he
ought to consider the source and drop
the matter.
Strain said he thought the Council
ought to stand on its dignity and pay
no attention whatevr to such stun.
President Wood then arose again
and said he thought the papers ought
to uphold the Council in their proceed

took advantage of every occasion to at
tack the Council as body.
