little light Is now obtainable on this
subject. He must have had prodig-
ious memory, and he was, in fact, a
great psychological phenomenon. It Is
said that he had the habit Of thinking
when alone in each and all Of his vari-
GUS languages in succession; so that,
without the presence Of second indi-
vidual, he almost enjayed the advan-
tage of practice in conversation. He
once said to an inquiring friend that
1.-The learning Of languages Is less diff
cult than Is generally thought; that
there Is but limited number of
points to which it is necessary to direct
attention.; and that. when one Is mas
ter Of these points, the remainder fol-
lows with great facility" adding that
when one has learned ten or dozen
languages essentially different from
each other, one may. with little study
and attention. learn any number of
them" But he also stated to another
friend that his own way Of learning
new languages was no other than that
of our schoolboys, by writing out words
and paradigms. and committing them
fanti's power of acquiring languages
was mainly gift of nature, but those
who are always on the lookout for
short roads to learning should remem-
Der that whatever may have been his
natural talent. and however 1T may
have quickened or facilitated the result
for him. it did not enable him to dis
pense with the sedulous and systematic
use of all the ordinary appliances Of
study, and especially Of every available
means for the acquisition Of vocabu-
laries and Of practice in their exercise.
He Is said to have made it rule, even
amid his most frequent and most dis
tracing occupations, to turn to account
every chance moment in which he was
released from actual pressure. The true
secret of his success. therefore, was the
systematic employment Of time.

cilities for producing wealth which
were unknown to the ancient world.
Mr.. Gladstone once said that more
wealth had been produced in England
during the present century than in all
the centuries since the conquest. The
tasks which In ancient Rome or Car
thage consumed years of labor on the
part of slaves are now produced by the
aid of machines in few hours. The
modern machine-made articles are not
1t Is true. as good as the ancient arti-
cles; but I am not discussing relative
value, but merely the immense output
of goods to meet or to stimulate a huge
demand. Think Of this output and ask
yourself how much of it represents
things which you really need. Our
shops are stocked with goods the great
er part of which nobody really needs
These articles are being perpetually
turned out by machines to such an ex-
tent that after a time the market is
glutted, and we have what is called an
economic crisis. which throws multi
tudes of men out Of work: so that we
find in modern society not only a celer-
ity of wealth production not dreamed
of in the ancient world, but also these
two remarkable facts; that, in the first
place, workmen spend their time in
producing things few rational people
desire to possess; and that, secondly,
the more wealth is produced the more
danger there is that men will be driven
from their work to idleness and starva-
tion

ity has spread also, with the result OF
either violent revolution or slow decline
under an oligarchy. Can we say that
the old symptoms are absent from the
modern world? When reading q while
ago Of the poor in New York freezing
to death In the blizzard, and when read
ing a few days before some statistics
as to the condition Of the poor in Bos-
ton, my mind required to Carlyle's crit
icism Of Harriet Martineau's account OF
the United States two generations ago,
when he said that the most interesting
fact disclosed to him by the writer
was that any man in America could
have roast turkey when he wanted.
It was. as Carlyle saw. fact which
spoke volumes for the wholesome social
condition Of the America Of that time.
You might 60 far on the east side OF
New York or the north end Of Boston
now before you saw turkey. But go
to Fifth avenue and you will gnd $40, 900
spent on flowers for a single ball, or 5000

may call such q condition Of things q

and by the time the protective
tariff was established by the
Republican party the balance

billions of dollars, counting
from the date of the adoption of
the constitution. Since the
protective tariff became a per
