LOST ART OF LEISURE.
Lots of Time, So Why Pc in Such a
 Tearing Hurry?

There is not only no time for leis- ure, but it is getting to be that when a man is suspected of reaching time of life when periods of rest are neces- sary to him he is relegated to the rear ranks with the undisguised purpose of losing him in the forward rush on the first opportunity. I am credibly in- formed that an average man past 40, who gets out of employment, finds it next to impossible to place himself again in what is anything like stable and permanent position. One large trunk line railroad recently dismissed all the men in its employ, not holding chief or high executive positions, who were past 40 years old, and filled the vacancies with youths. These are not merely idle statements, but are sol emn and painful facts, facts which may lead to widespread dissatisfac- tion that one day may express itself most dangerously.
 So l plead for a better, broader leisure, time for gentle thoughts and gentle deeds. There is lots of time, so why be in such tearing hurry? To consume time, but give us more. We consume time less strenuously will not waste time, but give us more. We will live longer, we will live better, and for that very reason I thoroughly be- lieve that we will work better and work longer. This is no suggestion in favor of idleness, whose proper portion is barrenness. likeness and leisure have nothing really in common; idle ness is the antithesis of work; leisure is works corollary, the one following the other as consequence, reward, and also preparation for renewed and bet. ter effort.
 We even give our sharpened razors a rest, for fear that they will become permanently dull; so why not men? Common sense cOunsels it, reason com mands it, experience warns us that it is essential to life, as well as happi- ness. And by rest do not mean mere ly sleep, but that other awakening rest which we called leisure, when we had or spared the time to practice it. Our grandfathers smoked pipes by hospita- ble hearths. They danced the minuet de la cour; we inhale cigarettes, and do the two-step with hop, skip, and a jump. The age of leisure even in Advertisement seems to have passed; but sincerely trust it has not gone be- yond recall.-John Gilmer Speed, in Ainslee's.

MOTHER OF PEARL iNLAlD.
Infinite Art Displayed by Nature of
 French Tonuuin Town.

HHChIh AOh4uAA AO"hs
 The sole curiosity for sightseers in the city of Hanoi, town of the French Tonquin, is the industry of in laying mother-of-pearl in precious woods. In fact, one street, called the Street of the Inlayers, is given up to the trade. The workmen are genuine artists, combining artistic conception with great manual skill. Furnished with rude tools, but with great pa- tience and skill, these workmen pro- duce articles of great beauty.
 They have applied the principle of division of labor, or specialization, to their work. The cabinet-makers first put together the various parts of the materials to be incrusted. The joining Is done without the aid of nails and with nice system of dovetailing and use of paste, of which lacquer is the base. From this cabinet-maker the wood passes into the hands of the de signer, who makes sketches for its or namentation on rice paper.
 These designs are transferred to the wood by the inlayer, whose duty it is to choose the pearl that will best serve to bring out the beauty of the design. The mother-of-pearl is obtained from a large species of shellfish called casque, caught chiefly upon the shores of the island of Poulo-condar.
 The inlayer cuts the pieces of pearl into little bits and chooses the combi- nation of colors which will make the contrast necessary for the artistic sue. cess of his work. The iridescence is heightened by the use of pearl dust furnished by kind of mussel taken from the brooks of that region. When the bits of mosaic are chosen the in- layer tries to give them the form of the design chosen and disposes them as mosaic in the wood. The crude morsel is made translucent by pumice stone. The pearl is then fixed in a wise and the labor of patience begins.
 Kneeling before the wise he shapes the piece with a file no larger than an ordinary color crayon. When the pearl is shaped it is necessary to trench 1t in the wood. This is ordinarily done by children l4 or 15 years of age. The bits of pearl are then set in the grooves and fixed with paste. The whole is gently heated to melt the paste and so fill the interstices. The design is then polished, vanished and given the finishing touches. The work has been counterfeited, but never sue ceSSfully.

AMERICAN sU1'c AT OXFORD.
Participants in Rhodes Benefaction
 Making Hit in England.

Making a Hit in England.
 It is pleasing to know that the group of American boys at Oxford enjoying the Rhodes scholarships are making creditable headway in their studies, but what has impressed England more than anything else is the way these young fellows walk off with the ath. letic events. A few days ago there were nine contests on track and field, and, although the American boys had barely settled down to business, they carried off seven firsts, to the amaze ment of all beholders.
 We do not hold that pre-eminence in athletics is in and of itself the high est crown of a scholastic career, but 1t has its place, and it should be re- membered that Cecil Rhodes ordained that the candidates should be chosen for physical as well as intellectual prowess. Certainly, the first group of his beneficiaries has met his notions in a way he had little reason to e1- pect. Already there is talk of an American boat crew, which is to chal. lenge the university eight, but this Is little premature. Moreover, there are said to be three of the Americans who are likely to make the. varsity eight next year. That there is some dis quietude over this condition in Great Britain is natural, but considering that Rhodes wanted the pick of S0,0O0,000 of Americans it was not surprising that our boys have done so well.
 It is known that MT. Rhodes desired not only to aid American boys and to develop feeling of mutual regard be- tween the nations, but also to edu- cate the British boys by some impress sive object lessons. He was young man when he died, but he had seen enough to give him confidence in tne American spirit. On many occasions he found himself baked in great en. terprises and was saved by American intelligence and courage. He had seen the gold mines on the Rand, contain ing the richest deposits in the world, working at loss until American min ing engineers came along and made them highly profitable. He knew that this was not entirely education of the schools, but was due to the dauntless spirit and the originality of invention which are possessed by our own peo- pie in large measure. He wanted to see his own people develop these quail ities and took his own method of ac- complaining it. Apparently the ob- ject lessons are to all that he had hoped.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

UPPER SANDUSKY, O., June 90
An Indian story. bIood-curdling as
any that ever thrilled the juvenile
reader of yellowbacks, and real as
anything in history, forms the basis
of an annual June celebration in this
city.
Colonel William Crawford was the
and associate of Washington. He en-
gagged in surveying with Washington
and served with him in Braddock s
expedition against Fort Duquesne.
He was leading figure In the Pom
tiac Indian war.
I. In the revolution Crawford was
colonel of the Fifth Virginia regi-
ment. He took part in the battle Of
Long island, crossed the Delaware
through the ice with Washington,
and served in the battle of Prince
ton.
In 1882. although he had resigned
from the army, Colonel Crawford
complied with the request of Wash
ington that he lead a military force
against the Indians that were devas-
tating the western frontier. His
services were especially desired be-
cause of his experience in Indian
fighting and his qualities as a COM
mander developed in the revolution.
Men, women and children had been
tortured and murdered, and the set
tiers were in n panic. Colonel Craw-
for's force was organized in Penn
sylvania In March they set out for
Indian Town, afterward the site of
Upper Sandusky. Their orders were
to make the march of $50 miles as
quickly as possible and to destroy
Indian Town. Wyandottes and Della
wares were the foes pitted against
Crawford's men. The latter were on
horseback.
During the march scouts were
thrown out and vigilant watch main
tanned. but there was no clash. On
June 4 the force had penetrated to
the chief settlement of the Wyan-
dottes, only three miles from Indian
Town. Still there was no sign of the
hostiles. On the following day Col
onel Crawford and his men were sud
denly surrounded by the Indians. The
