ABY NixolaGreeley-Smith. Bivery holiday there is a growing desire to make dash for the fresh alr of the country instead of for:the matly nees and the bars. There are of course men of mark who matntain that they owe thelr succeas to working harder in thelr Sours of leisure than they did in thir hours of labon who| claim that when a man has finished his eight pours’ work he ought to begin planning what he, will do in next | day's eight hours instead of frittering away bis time on walking or ridling, tennis or boxing. But thase “mon of mark’ are usually as prominent for thelr Gyspepsia as) they are for their millions, as eminent forthelr neuras- thenia as they are for their prestige. The man who attends to his hours’ play as systemati- eally a8 he attends to his day's work may not achieve as precocious a success as his non-exercising rival, but nei-! ther will he achieve as precocious a breakdown, There aro few sights more pathetic than that of the “guccesstul” man, prematurely old and ailing, who has hemmed in his life in the rut of his business or protes- gion, who feels his skill and his faoulties daily more and more deserting him, but who must nevertheless work more and more maladroitly on till he finally drops, be- cause he has made himself such a pauper in the interests of life that he must seek the solace for his decreptitude P fn.that decrepitude’s very source itself, One seeing such a warning might excusably react into the belief that there is more to be desired in the happl- | #le. along wi Sorrow, may by In affitet | clam in t eased pre-eminence.

In England a committee appclinted by the Home Bec- retary has just submitted a report on the case of Adolf Beck, imprisoned for five years for a crime of which he was proved innocent only by the confession of the actual! as much sumption, There are some women who, wh'lo realizing known a they will 4 double by piling who, whil criminal.
