INTENDED TO ADVISE RULER
States a Copy Of Old Institu-
ton in Europe.

From the earliest times the king
of England was assisted in his gov
eminent by a body of men known as
the ''privy ccuncil'-men whose adj
vice was sought in the graveSt and
most delicate affairs of state. But,
with the gradual increase Of the demo
cratic character of parliament. the
real government of the nation be
came more and more vested in the
kings parliamentary ministers, while
the rank Of privy councillor came to
be bestowed as a purely honorary dis
tinctiOn upon men to whom little
was cOnfided. AS a result the SOW
ereign resorted for advice to his
principal ministers and hence arose
the custom Of selecting the leading
parliamentary members of the party
in power. When the United States
government was formed this idea of
giving the ruler the assistance and ad-
vice of a group of picked men was
borrowed from the British system,
while the word cabinet" was taken
from the French, where it signifies
small cabin or room-kings and
other potentates being accustomed to
consulting with their ministers in
private room or "cabinet. "-COlum-
bus Dispatch.

Books and Reading.
Examiner.

OF course, there is a portion of read
ing quite Indispensable to a wise man.
History and exact science he must
learn by laborious reading. Colleges,
in like manner, have their indispens-
able office to teach elements. But they
can only highly serve us, when they
aim not to drill but to create; when
they gather from far every ray of vari-
GUS genius to their hospitable halls,
and, by the concentrated fires, set the
hearts Of their youth on flame.
Thought and knowledge are natures in
which apparatus and pretension avail
nothing. Gowns, and pecuniary foun-
dations, though of towns of gold can
never coutervail the least sentence or
syllable On wit. Forget this, and our
American colleges will recede in their
public Importance, whilst they grow
richer every year.-Ralph Waldo
Emerson.

"TIRED BUSINESS MAN" MYTH
Here Are a Few Facts That Throw
Cold Water on AppeIIation That
Was Always Silly.

A chronically tired business man is
an anomaly. There amt no such ami
NAL. Nobody believes in him. A man
who is tired the round of the clock
from what he is pleased to call over
work-who gets up tired, and goes to
bed tired, and does all his living in a
tired way, is entitled to call himself
by as many names as he pleases; but
he mustn't call himself a business
man-nOt unless he wants to be the
object Of smiles like any other incon-
gruity. 1t may not be just, but it's so
Moreover, it is perfectly just in a vast
majority of cases.
Ninety per cent of the business men
who deceive themselves into the no.
ton that they are tired because they
OverWOrk are tired because they don't
take care of themselves, and they don't
take care of themselves because they
are too lazy and indolent to do it. In
other words, many a sO-called business
man allows himself to be chrOnically
tired an outWardly respectable hobo
in a white collar. He plays the fat
boy. An unsympathetic world has a
way of telling the fat boy that if he
will eat less, take some exercise, shake
his liver and act like a normal boy he
will yawn less.
Everybody with good sense knows
that work, other things being equal is
a remedy for most Of our ills, and not
the cause of them. 1t can become 9th
erwise only by perversion of thought.
