The Spirit of Adventure.

The present period of the world is not
unlike the Elizabethsn age in many ways.
The sphere OF thought in civilized lands
has been broadened by the extension OF
commerce and the increased facilities of
communication, and these countries have
been brought nearer TO one another in
many ways while antagonism has in some
cases developed through conflicting inter-
ests. At the same time there is an in
creased knowledge of and interest in those
lands which still remain undeveloped by
the spirit OF modern progress and a more
thorough dissemina ton of knowledge and
information among the masses OF the peo-
pie everywhere.
In all these ways the present century
resembles that Of Shakespeare and Spen-
ser, Raleigh and Drake. Curiously enough
the progressive movement began at about
the same time in the course of the CEN
fury, so that there Is almost exactly three
hundred years between the two periods.
Future historians. seeing the events of to-
day in the light of their influence upon the
progress of humanity, may trace yet other
resemblances.
Perhaps the strongest Characteristic of
both eras has been the spirit of adventure
which has prevailed This is exemplified
in one particularly picturesque figure who
will have to be preserved In the historical
romance of the nineteenth as OF the six
teenth century. This is the soldier of for
tune-the man who. fighting for love OF his
trade and of money. is willing to lend his
strength and skill to any nation which will
give him enough to do and pay him well.
No one who has read the accounts of the
war in South Africa can fail TO recognize
the presence of many foreign mercen-
aries in the service of the Beers. The
continent has been a happy hunting
ground of such adyenturers for many
years. owing TO the constant chance of
trouble IN one part of II or another; and
they have simply slipped into the places
made ready for them. They have no con-
victions as a rule though they are any
thing but unintelligent men They are
not evea possessed invariably by the idea
that money is desirable, since with them
