WORDS OF WISDOM.

All our progress is an unfolding like
the vegetable bud. You have first the
Instinct, then an opinion, then q knowl-
edge, as the plant has root, bud and
fruit. Trust the instinct to the end,
though you can render no reason. 1t
Is vain to hurry it. BY trusting 1t to
the end, 1t shall rlpen unto truth, and
you shall know while you believe.
A good conscience is to the soul
what health is to the body 1t pre-.
serves a constant ease and serenity
within us, and more than countervails
all the calamities and Affections which
can possibly befall us.
He who asks of life nothing but the
Improvement Of his own nature, and
continual moral progress toward in.
ward contentment and rightful sub
mission, is less liable than any other
to miss and waste his life.
If you want to be miserable think
about yourself, about what you want,
what you like, what respect people
ought to pay you and what people
think of you.
Some OF the best lessons we ever
learn we learn from mistakes and fail
ures. The error of the past is the wis
dom and success of the future.
Mere ideals, unsecured by deeds, are
like unframed pictures. They do not
long retain their freshness and whole
ness and beauty.
1t is a maxim that those to whom
everybody allows the second place
have an undoubted right to the 6rst.
Self-knowledge is that acquaintance
with ourselves which shows us what
we are, and what we ought to be.
Hope is like the sun, which, as we
journey toward it, casts the shadow
Of our burden behind us.
If we could but conquer our inmost
enemies we could stand thousands Of
our outward ones.
Providence has given us hope and
sleep as a compensation for the many
cares Of life.

NEW lpEA ABOUT BOXERS.
Every Waterman or DOorkeepsr in PekIn
q Member.

Every Waterman or DOorkeeper In Pekin
a Member.
Writing Of "The Revolution in China
and It's Causes" in the Century, r.
Van Bergen gives considerable infor-
nation as to the Boxers.
ANY intelligent man who has lived
Mt Pekin for six months knows of
these so-called Boxers, and has, know
lngly or not, employed one or more
Of them. By the term intelligent" is
meant a man who does net suppose
that every human being must neces-
sarily understand his own language,
,ut admits the fact that there are other
tongues, and also that, when he trav-
els or resides in foreign countries, it
becomes him to famAiarize himself
with such foreign languages.
Every resident Of Pekin employs a
Waterman or doorkeeper, and that per-
son is, in every instance, member
Of the Ta-chuan literally, big Fist');
Or, as 1t is now called, Boxer" soci-
ETY.. Properly considered, it is not a
secret society, but bears great re-
semblance to our labor unions. It's
purpose is mainly benevolent, namely,
to provide for old or disabled mem
bers.
The society Of the Boxers is made
lp Of men whose physical and muscu-
lar strength has been trained purpose
y and from early youth, not that they
may enter the athletic arena, but that
they may engage in a perfectly lawful
and recognized career. They are en-
gagged as watchmen by wealthy resi-
dents and as guards by travellers car
eying a large amount of money, or to
convoy species for great distances.
Such a guard or Waterman insures
perfect safety, for it places the prop
erty or person under the protection Of
the Ta-chuan Union, and thieves or
malefactors dread arousing its ven
geance. Not a single instance Is on
record where a member Of the Ta-chu-
an was faithless to his trust.
The Government recognized the I'M
ion and frequently employed it to con-
voy treasure. The father Of Prince
Tuan, and grandfather Of the heir APP
parent, is, and has been for years, the
official patron of the union.
1t is evident from this explanation
that a member of the Ta-chuan corre-
spends somewhat to the modern call
ing of private detective in our social
arrangements. This is further cop-
armed, since, in either case, men may
be hired for specific purposes, and not
always in strict conformity to law.
The history of the United States con-
tains instances where corporations,
In fear Of depredaHons by striking
workmen, have engaged a body of pri-
vate detectives to repel any attack
lpon their plants. A man in possession
Of a well-hlled purse could, at Pekin,
engage any number Of Ta-chuan men,
bers for purposes which would not
bear publicity.
