Canker of Conceit.

From the Charleston News and Courier
II is rather remarkable illustration
of the weakness OF our nature that there
should be 50 many persons whose heads
are completely turned by attaining even
the slightest degree of success. Instead
of realizing that the achievement which
won him fame is thing of the past. and
therefore buried in oblivion. except to
those nearest to him. the average man
imbibes a goodly portion of self-satisfac-
tons and drinks to his own conceit. His
one success looms very large upon his
narrow horizon. and the temporary adula-
ton of a tickle public magnifies its pro-
portions and appears TO give him an inn
portance not really his due This self
Importance is apt TO be reflected in all
his further efforts. III indeed II does not
forbid effort OF any sort, and once a man
becomes obsessed with an exaggerated
idea of his attachments there is small
chance of his ever duplicating those at
tainments 1t is just here, however, that
SO many persons make the mistake OF
their lives by believing that having once
a record for themselves there
is no need to live up to it. III they could
only forget their successes, or hide them
away in the dim places OF their own
minds to be peeped at only for inspira-
ton, their self-aggrandizement would
give way to a correct valuation OF their
ability which would go far toward help
Ing them TO new accomplishments. A
mans most serious thoughts should he
of what Is to come of what he is to do
in the future. not OF what Is passed or
Of what he has already accomplished.

HOW KINGS TRAVELLED.
0stentation of Emperor Leopold and
Simplicity of Frederick.

From the Westminster Gazette.
The quiet and transformations. manner in
which half the monarchs of Europe, fol-
lowing the example of their holiday max
ing subjects. are travelling about just
now recalls the upheaval which accom-
panied a rulers movements in the olden
times.
When, for instance, the Emperor Leo
pold in 1866 Travelled from Germany to
the TyrOl he took with him retinue of
1900 persons and 1,JOO horses. More
than hundred years later the first
King of Prussia, a gentleman who loved
pomp and display, caused 1000 horses
to be held in readiness at every posting
station through which he passed on his
journeyings through his newborn king
dom, and wherever he spent the night
there his own bedroom furniture had to
be in readiness before his arrival.
The second King of Prussia, on the
other hand. objected to any form of dis
play, partly on account Of the expense
and partly because he found that he
Travelled twice as fast when he was only
accompanied by indispensable servants.
Some curious old documents have been
preserved in which the official who ar
ranged for the kings comfort on his
travels explains to the provincial digni-
taries what they are to put on his
majesty's table and how they had better
house him.
LAS to the royal table, he writes, "see
that you get the first of all some fresh
water fish and shellfish, OF which his
majesty is particularly fond. Also some
meats. Then there should be some good
old hook. but also some brandy and light
beer. If possible, his majesty always
takes his midday meal in a barn, a tent
or a garden house. where there Is plenty
of air. and likewise his majesty prefers
to sleep in a barn or garden house be-
cause he does not like warm rooms, nor
can he walk up steep steps without dis
comfort
This frugal kings greater son. Freder-
lex ii. inherited some of his fathers SIM
pie tastes, and always preferred when
travelling in his own dominions to put
up in country parsonages and In rooms
with only a bed, an armchair and a table.
But parsimonious though he was in gen.
eral he paid the sum of els a night for
these humble quarters, and he tried to
save expenses by taking with him only
the absolutely Indispensable servants and
one other carriage besides that old coach
of his, repairs of which he never would
pay during the whole of his reign, so
that when ii was falling to pieces Ii had
to be patched up in secret and the ex-
out the kings knowledge.
His own carriage was drawn by twelve
horses. and that of the attendants-chief
among whom was the man in charge of
a bagful of gold-by six.

An English View of Us.
ON the London Saturday Review.

From the London Saturday Review.
How utterly different is the way the
Americans view efficiency and ineffici-
ency. They go for efficiency, we for
character. We lately heard of a manager
of company in the states who was tried
and convicted for peculating a large sum
of money which should have gone to the
shareholders. He was sent 10 prison. and
his English friends-with whom he had
been very popular-thought they had seen
the last of him. But he was no sooner
out of prison than the company instantly
took him on again at an enhanced salary.
The English were amazed. COMPOUNDED;
but 1t was explained TO them that to
throw away the services of such a clever,
extremely efficient man would have been
arrant folly. He is now on the best of
terms with the company and socially is
quite one of the most popular men of his
city Here We often overlook, even
ostracise. a man because he is capable
in the states a capable man is not ostra-
cised even If a scoundrel.
