JtasTOX it Is mU is abandoning
thobeau as ai article of diet Farn
well thon to simplicity to plainliv
Ing and high thinking Jho nex
thin that wo hear from the Hub it

A i im n ind is fniso in every-
thing just as a crosscyo always looks
askant But one may err once nay a
hundred tune without being donblo
minded Theiv can never bo tueutnl
iluplieity where there is sincerity
Do vol seek ea y ways for easy
ways load to rust Do not seek to
get rid of responsibilities but be aux
ious to assume them Seo to it that
as you draw near to tho Inter years of
life you draw near fully equippod
Kykbi wellinformed person knows
that the actual danger on board a first
class steamship on tho open sea is so
neany nothing that it is actually less
than one encounters at home It is
safer to cross tho Atlantic than to
crcs llroaduay at some point liut
such knowledge is of llUlo comfort to
the voyager whose imagination lint
been wrought up by stories of tho
ajraves when ho flnflg ujintelfwJn tho
mldst of a north Atlantic gato some
inornlng
Is uimost every decado some novel
Is written that does its work excel-
lently well and many hundreds that
give pieasuro and instruction to tho
great multitude or readers Lot js
therefore welcome the praclico of tho
novelists s art always waiting in pa-
tience for its highest nnd best speci-
mens trusting that tho general popu-
lar tasto may sift tho chaff from tho
wheat but certain in any event that
the wheat m ill be produced and know-
ing that it is as necessary now as ever
in tho history of tho race
WrniotT renewing tha controversy
> b < wcen short and long words which
fctill remains open wo may call atten-
tion to tho fact that moro than ono
hundred monosyllables which bavo
been in constant use since Chaucers
timo are ot Latin lineage not Eng-
lish nor Saxon nor Anglo Gaxon
and that among them aro to fce found
many of the words which we associate
properly with tho ideas of earnest
ness simplicity and power and that
tho number of words of two syllables
of similar character is very much
greater
Whatever you da do it well Tho
slighting of a task becauso it is appar-
ently unimportant leads to habitual
neglect so that men and women de-
generate insensibly into bad workers
Training the hand and eye to do work
well leads persons to form correct
habits in other respects and a good
workman is in most ease a good
citizen Xo one need hope to rise
above his present position who suffers
mall things to pass unimproved or
who neglect metaphorically spoak

Ir is not many years ago since we
were adjured lu the name of style of
pure literature and of tender regard
for our own language to forego tho
use of polysyllables in writing and
cleave only to those short words
which were asserted by a bold gener-
alization to bo tho bone < ind sinew of
the English language Wo were told
Jbatagood English style demanded
tho tiso of words ot one syllable as
though all literaturo was intended for
tho benefit of children just out of the
alphabet and tho statement was mado
and repeated with many kinds of vari-
ations and corollaries that tho quali-
ties of earnestness simplicity and
power belonged to the English ele-
ment of our tongue by which tho
wouldbe critics meant monosyllables
Jlr is not unusual to bear people
complain that they do not havo good
sleep and in the same sentence ex-
plain that thoy are taking sulfonal or
any one of a dozen other concoctions
that arc hold up an being perfectly
harmless and generally beneficial It
is difficult to restrain an almost equal
indignation and regret for tho ignor-
ance of the human systect which com-
placently resorts to these dangerous
and pernicious drugs or tho strange
conception of medical responsibility
that prescribes them That there aro
conditions under which narcotics must
bo used Is no apology for this frequent
use which is becoming mora and moro
habitual and who effects aro seen
in disordered nerves and a multitudo
of evils Proper attention to a ra-
tional quantity and quality of food n
walk in the open air an I a glass of
hot water on retiring will be found
effectual sleepproducers with incrcas
Ing good offects rather than disastrous
fines afterword
Tire man of strong will and forco
ful energy may also bo authoritativo
and exacting unpleasant to his
friends and oppressive to bis subordi-
nates It is not his will that needs
diminishing but his kindness or
heart his amiability of disposition
his graclousness of bearing that needs
cultivating Of one man wo say his
generality runs nway with him yet
it Is not his generous nature that
needs curbing but his judgment that
needs strengthening So it is through
all tho phases of character True
moderation is gained by developing
some quality in which wo aro
deficient rather than by restraining
some jBxccIIenco which we suppose to
bo excessive Not a litllo less of ono
thine but a groat deal moro of
another is what we need to produce a
fall rich and well balanced character
True moderation thon is neither
tame insipid nor languid it calls
upon all the eneraics and all tho
powers of otter nature for its develop-
ment it tnak S us no less but more
manly anojy jonauly not less but j
