a Witch QAnrN

The recent death OF Captain Ernest
Rhodes, brother OF the late Cecil
Rhodes, recalls a strange story told by
Colonel Frank Rhodes, says London
Tft-Bits. \ few years ago Cecil
Rhodes turned Matabele witch OF
his estate In South Africa In conse-
quence or some offense. and the old
nag, with hatred In her eyes. shrieked
out, "rhy days on earth shall be short
and two or those who follow theer'
Curiously enough. five years have seen
three members OF the Rhodes family
die shortly after taking possession OF
the Dalham estate. Cecil Rhodes paId
100000 for the property and only WIS.,
ited the hall once. 1t is probable that
the witch story is only variant of
the legend which has attached TO Dali
ham Hall for years. The place has al
ways brought sudden death or misfor-
tune 10 its owners. This Is attributed
TO the fact that the mansion was built
on the site OF n famous monastery.
which was looted and plundered Mt the
time or the reformation. Misfortune
dogged the steps OF the Adieck family.
from whom Dalham was purchased by
Cecil Rhodes.

WHAT DEATH IS.

Merely a Change of Energy and Not
Annihilatien.
What we call death Is not anuihila-
ton; IL is only change OF energy.
Decay Is simply the breaking up OF
life into new aud more multiplied
foruos of life
The latest science recognizes at least
nine different forms of energy into
which single force may pass aud re-
pass without diminution or loss. That.
OF course. is the great discovery of
modern science. that energy may be
transformed from one form into an.
other. may be transferred from one
body to another, but cannot be de.
stroyed.
Not immediately was the bearing of
this soiehtific law on the doctrine OF
Immortality recognized And yet. as
the mind adjusted itself to the almost
protean forms OF energy, 1t became ap-
parent that life itself. which is the
highest form of energy we know, must
inevitably become subject TO this law
Death. when il touches human life.
Is not destruction OF energy: it Is sim.
ply change through which life passes
into some new form of activity.
Your candle. for instance. burns
down TO the socket and after flicker
or two goes out. TO the eye of sense
that Is the end of your candle, and II
has been used over and over again az
the image Of death But according
to the law Of the conservation OF ener.
gy the light and heat OF that candle
are not lost They have passed into
other forms of energy more subtle. but
not less real.
"A log Is slowly consumed upon the
hearth until nothing remains but n
heap OF flmy ash. but the light ana
energies OF that log are not lost. The

modes OF activity. The whole uni
verse Is vast area Of ceaseless. indie
struetible energy, OF which life Is the

Within the last half dozen years
science has emphasized still another
fact-namely, that the more powerful
force Is the less visible Il Is 10 hu-

A LIVING OR A LIFE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1905. by Edwin A. Nyo.


MAKE a living" said the late Gov
ernor Russell OF Massachusetts in an
address to young men. "but remember
there is one thing better than making a
living. and that is making a life"
What is the difference between max
ing living aud making II life?
1t is the difference between material
and ideal. between selfishness and al
truiSm.
For instance:
The. philosophy OF Goethe and Soho
penhauer, which is the philosophy OF
many successful men" of today. is
this: Look only ON the serene and
bright DO not coneefl yourself with
suffering Let the miserable ones
alone. Be cheerfulIy blind TO the mis-
fortunes of others. The more you do
for others the less you can do for your
self. Use others. Be careful they do
not use you. Cultivate yourself.
In other words. this philosophy says
"Get therer'
But there is another philosophy
which says: Be mindful of others
misery. Help your neighbor Make
good principles into flesh-CHARAC-
TER. Open your mind and heart TO
truth and beauty and love. and put as
much OF generous and outgoing sym.
pathies and interests" In your life as
you can.
That's making a life.
In the nervous tension OF modern
existence men are so absorbed In the
task Of making a living that many for
get the higher part of themselves
They have no time for real living.
Nowadays men are trying to make a
living after they are millionaires. They
stunt their best faculties and rob
themselves of the Joy or normal living
They become one sided. half developed
individuals.
Like the Spaniards. they say MANA
ma" They will be happy tomorrow
or next year. And they sink into the
grave still trying to make a living.
What grander thing in all conception
.san TO make a life-to feel and know
every day that one Is growing wider.
deeper, higher In mental and moral
power?
Anybody can make n living.
Too few OF us are trying TO make q

the police commissioner is generally

There are two exceptions to this rule.
one has become president of the

Kinds OF malfeasance. He was even
removed from Office, but was rein

CHILDREN AT SCHOOL
They should Not re Forced In rhei
Studies

They should Not ne Forced In Their
studies.
II Ii is really fact that modern civil
lied children are born with nervous
tissue Of finer fiber and therefore more
irritable than that found In more primi-
tive cultural states it Is a condition to
be given most serious consideration.
We are no longer justified In arranging
school work as though all the little ones
were as phlegmatic as Indian babies.
The natural environment of childhood
IL untrammeled freedom in the open
air.
The explosive shouts emitted as soon
as child is released from session
prove that IL has been under an ex-
hausting restraint. OF course this fact
has long been known by intelligent
teachers, who give their little charges
numerous occasions to blow Off steam,
but 1t does seem that much more can
be done than Is done.
III II Is true that American children
are OF more nervous type than those
OF northern Europe we can expect to
hnd a greater portion OF nervous dis
eases among them. 1t is said to be 10
per cent in New York city. II we in
clude cases of bad mentality. and
though the nervous affections alone are
said to amount to but IL per cent. we
are safe in assuming them to be much
more numerous If we include the great
class OF nervous little bodies which
should be out rolling in the sand in
stead of sitting bolt upright on hard.
uncomfortable bench.
The present mania of the American
mother to educate her babies long years
before 1t is time is merely one of the
evil results of our system, and since IL
Is not possible to convince her of the
harm done by such confinement the
problem before the school authorities
seems to be to make the first few wears
OF school approximate, as nearly as
discipline will permit, the rollicking
natural life of the babies in their
charge.
After all it Will remain for Americans
to show the European world that big
snare or the nervousness and III health
OF school children Is due to eye strain.
