LEGATION At 4xI- M- &W

for the protection of Americans from future
Boxer uprisings. we have just finished a
substantial wall-nclosed legation, costing
something like 100000 At Bangkok. the
capital of Siam. we own the rickety bunga-
low in which our minister lives, it having
been presented by the king. Also at Toxic,
Japan, we own our embassy building, which
occupies a beautiful site, presented by the
mikado. At all other capitals the govern
ment provides only Office space, always
rented. and some of the Office buildings oc-
cupied are modest affairs to say the least.
While our ministers to the larger European
countries, not hOnored with ambassadors,
receive $4,000, there are lower grades of
ministers, receiving $4,000, $500 and
5000 each, the last including ministers

matte agents are usually consuls general

Moral Aspects of Suicide.
From the Century.

From the Century.
Voluntary self-murder is not only a vjo-
lation of the divine law, but is also crime
against society. We are social beings. We
owe a duty to the commonwealth as well
as to ourselves. We mutually depend on
one another, like the members of
physical body. For none of us liyeth, to
himself; and no man dieth to himself" HUI
man society may be compared to a grand
army. every member of which has a spe-
cia place and mission assigned to him by
his Sovereign Commander. To abandon the
post of duty intrusted to a sentinel is re-
garded by the military code as most cow
ardly act, which is punished with extreme
rigor. What less does the suicide do than
basely abandon the situation assigned to
him in the warfare of life? And there is
no vice more contagious than cowardly de-
sertion 1t is often followed by a general
mutiny. The same is true OF suicide.
When a few deeds of seIf-murder are widely
circulated by the press. they are not in
frequently followed by numerous voluntary
slaughters A suicidal wave rolls over the
land.

The Magazine and Literature.
From Harper's Magazine.


Periodical literature, in its very begin
ming, accomplished for the writer one very
important result. 1t enabled him to secure
at least partial independence OF patronage
without recourse to playwriting. The novel,
which was it's natural offspring, and which,
from the first, was a profitable undertake
ing helped to complete the emancipation.
Richardson's Pamela the earliest society
novel, tedious il may seem TO us, APP
pealed to the sympathies of every class In
Europe and established a new school OF
foreign as well as of domestic fiction. The
novel and the monthly magazine emerged
the polite essay, they helped to abolish
pedantry, and We may justly say that they
brought the development OF modern English
prose literature to stage of finished grace
and elegance not hitherto reached even In
the noble examples furnished by Bacon,

THE COMING DAWN. BY Charles Eyer
ton. New York: John Lane Company.
The early years of the reign of George II
of England offer a picturesque field for
romance. The beginning of the opposition
to Walpole's ministry. the mingled cur1up-
ton and brillancy of court life. with its
dominion of the beauty and the wit, the
powder and patches as Offset by the doc
trine of repentance and spiritual regenera-
ton preached by Whiteley- and the other
great Methodists-these all furnish album
dant light and shade for the setting of a
story. But Mr.. Egerton's novel holds the
attention of the reader by its human quail
ity, even more than by these charms of
setting. There will be few who will not be
impressed by the love of Walsingham and
his Julia, and touched by the story of the
suffering and spiritual rebirth of the woman
for whom Walsingham most chivalrously
gave up the world.

DO YOUR LEVEL BEST.

Put the Right Spirit Into Your Work
 and Keep Your Ideals High.
 Put the right spirit into your work. Treat your calling as divine, as a call from principle. If the thing itself be not important, the spirit in which you take hold of it makes all the difference in the world to you. It can make or mar the man. You cannot afford grum bling service or botched work in your iife's record. You cannot afford to form q habit of half doing things or of doing them in the spirit of drudge, for this will drag it's slimy trail through all your subsequent career, always hu- initiating you at the most unexpected times. Let other people do the poor jobs, the botched work. if they will. ,keep your standards up, your ideals hgh.

What man does is a part of himself. It Is the self expression of what ho stands for. Our life work is an outpicturiag of our ambition, our Ideals, our real selves. If you see a mans work, you see the man.
 No one can respect himself or have that sublime faith in himself which is essential to all high achievements when he puts mean, half hearted, slip saod service into what he does He cannot get his highest self approval un. til be does his level best.-Success.

 The throat of a minstrel singer is as delicately sensitive as. those of grand opera artists. But George Primrose has a remedy of his own that works astonishing cures.

When you are right again. I'll pu. you back on the salary list"
 Then the balladist hurries around to black up and sings so delightfully."- that he has to take four eneores.
 A skilled specialist who makes the sufferer say "Ah-a-a-a" and charges him twenty dollars is not in it for a minute with old Doctor Primrose and his magic throat cure.

HORRIBLE DEATH OF
 FIREMAN ON SANTA FEE
(Albuqueroae Journal1

(Albuquer0ue JOufnal.l
 One of the Santa Fe trains which passed through here for the east yes terday bore the remains of Fireman J. H. Potter, of the Santa Fe, who was scalded to death on his engine. the 962. near Bengal. Cal, on the morning of October IT. The remains were ac- companied by the bereaved wife and child and will be inferred at the old home in Eureka, Kas.
 Potter was on the engine with En- gineer O. E. Wilbur when the acci- dent occurred. The train was west bound and running slowly at the time of the accident because the engineer had discovered that there was water flowing along the sides of the tracks which cautioned him to be careful. while he had slowed down, he was in the act of applying the brakes when the engine ran on bridge and it gave away, the bents having been undermined and weakened by the flood waters which had been flowing. As the front end of the engine sank. the force of the following train pushed the tank loose from it's bed and up against the boiler head. Engineer Wilbur for a moment was caught by the legs, but as the train surged for ward he was released, and he threw himself out the cab window, alighting without injury. The tank, however, caught Fireman Potter, crushing his hip and breaking away two steam pipes which almost instantly ceased his sufferings by scaldipg him to death.
