pleasures is to sit In the hall OF Skibo Cas-
tie while the organist. highly paid artist

his magnificent organ. Another form OF
music which delights the millionaire Is the

he handles the cue with great enthusiasm

Holding Fast to the "Happy Habit"

From the National Magazine.
The great trouble OF the average earnest
spirit today Is that sufficient account is
not taken OF human nature as 1t actually
exists, not only In a general way in all
mankind-but in@ourselves individually. We
have two minds distinct and separate within
US. the Ideal and the actual. The difficulty
Is that this in often misunderstood--for
what Is to one man q rigid truth Is to
another perversion of the facts. In order
to convey to another mind our view of a
truth, that other mind must be In focus
We must consider the sense OF proportion.
not only in ourselves but in others. 1t has
been said that mo one human mind is
capable Of grasping the whole truth. but
each man sees truth from different stand

The most perilous thing which I know of
is that people should lose faith In them
selves and in common honesty OF their
fellow men. In losing faith In general In
tegrity they can no longer believe In them
selves.

TACTICS OF zULUs IN WAR
Their Crescent Formation Adopted by
the British Against the Beers.

From the South African Sun.
Once more the rising OF some of the Natal
natives has turned mems thoughts to the
famous Zulu tactics. In the minds of most
these are associated with the name or
Tyaka, the ruthless Zulu conqueror who
welded into the stock of the Amazulu the
people of the heavens. all the young men
OF the various tribes he conquered incor-
porating them into regiments and thus
building up a powerful military nation. Yet
1t was to Dlngisiwayo the wanderer that the
inception was due. This man. the son OF
the chief of the Umtetwa. was driven into
exile In consequence of an abortive plot to
seize the reins OF power.
During that exile he lived In Cape Colony
and saw the military methods Of the Brit
ish. With Instructive genius he saw how
the idea could be adapted to his own nation
and on his return and accession to the
chieftainship he divided his people into
regiments, distinguishing them by names
and by a special color of shield for each
regiment, though for a time they retained
the umkonto or throwing assegai as their
chief weapon. He heard the great use made
by the British infantry of their favorite
weapon. the bayonet, and SO he replaced the
umkonto by the ixwa. or broadbladed STAB
bling assegai.
The popularity of the Zulu tactics has
earned 1t the name of the crescent forrna-
ton for attack and 1t is noteworthy that,
broadly speaking. 1t was the method en-
ployed by the Beers In their invasion OF
Natal and adopted by Lord Roberts in his
advance through Orange River Colony, and
1t was the fear of its success which kept
the Beers continually on the run. The best
thing with which to compare 1t is the head
of the stag-headed beetle. Horns are thrown
out widely either flank, while the main
body forms the head itself. From the main
body small force Is detached to engage
the enemy while the horns creep around the

This force IA the days of Tyaka was fire.

In Q lecture dellvereu at the
Auditorium last night, DR.. N. F.
Ravlin spoke to well filled house
on "The Terrible Calamity that
has Befallen San Francisco and
Other California Cities h Not a
Judgment OF GCd.a He said in part.
"The reason / speak on this snb-
ject is because there is a disposition
on the part of certain ministers,
who claim to be Gods representa-
tives, to attribute this terrible ca
lamity to the judgment of God on
the wickedness of San Francisco. |
want to file my protest against
such q view of the subject. Though
/ may have erred in judgment in
selecting this theme at this time,
there arises in me an irresistible
rejection of the theory that God
has sent this calamity upon the
cities of California because of their
wickedness. | know very well
that preachers. many of them, are
ready to do that very thing, and
have already stated 10 the people
that this calemity is the judgment
of God because San Francisco is so
wicked. Now | want to place those
who take such view of the subject
i'll q logical light. In olden times
when Lot is said to have interced-
ed with God in behalf of Sodom
aud Gomorrah, he was told that if
he could find ten righteous men in
the city of Sodom he (God) would
not destroy 1t. Lot set about to
see if he could find the ten men.
He could not. Then God is said to
have told him that if he could find
five righteous men he would spare
the city. But he could not find
the five. The result was Sodom
was destroyed and the city of the
plains along with it. Those fyou
who are well acquainted with the
sins attributed to Sodom know very
well there is no modern city where
those sins exist or are tolerated.
Now, if God destroyed San Fran
cisco because ofits wickedness there
were not logically in the city FIVE
righteous men. Now the truth is
that San Francisco is no more
wicked than other cities, and if this
city had to be destroyed beca use of
its wickedness where would Port
land come in? Is Portland i'm
maculateY LIS 1t much pureF-thRn
San Francisco? If SO, then why
are you 50 afraid of the destruction
Of this city? The truth is that
