Paul's advice to Timothy. Few things are more instrective •than the study of the intellectual me- • thods of men who lia-ve achieved sue - cess. For rnany days I have been associated with a nein who is almost 4 magician in liis skill of manufac- turing or using time. With marvel- ous art he has so laid out his honors as to athieve the impossible. On Tuesday morning he works on Ins new book. On Wednesday he works upon his long novel or snort stories. Thursday he gives to the writing of verse, lyrics, odes or drama. Friday Is always reserved fox' magazine ar- ticle or a column in a newspaper. On Saturday meriting lie writes the Sunday morning sermon; Sanniday evening he writes at a four-liour sit- • ting the Sunday evening sermon. On Monday he starts for the cad sliope, the auction -rooms, tile art .galleries. • Eight -thirty every Morning finds him at his desk, wliere he re- • mains for five hours, until 1.80: Then come two hours in active exercise, • usually out of oors. The evenings are for lectures or public addresses. • It isns sirenuoue piograanine, but by adhering to it be has achieved some: sixteen volumes, essays, poems, nov- els, lectures, sermons and studies -of English literature. It is a marvelous record. His career cannot be • ex- plained by saying "the man is a genius. He has unusual gifts." He insists that he would,never have ac- complished any more than other keen if he liati use'd , • OT.eiER MEN'S METHODS. "Give attention unto reading." Never were the books so many and so inviting, but never were men so tired when night cones. • Many an overworked man e,xclairns, "Once 1, too, read boons. But not now." Many a man, also, early in life finds lie is losing his intellectual spring, and tla'at the creative toueli is going. Is there no mental law of therapeu- tics? Strangely enough, there is. Could' these tired men rest themselves by reading? Beyond all doubt; and gain culture and growth while doing it. The musician knows that pounn- leg the some string will scion wear the cliord out. Athletes now that the use of tlie same nanscle brings speedy tire. Artists rest the jaded sense by changing from blue to gold and crimson to purple. Even the bi- cycler has discovered that he rests soonest, not by sitting quietly, but by such a use of the arms as to throw the blood out of the legs. Tins law is intellectual also. The mind is not divided into compartments, nev- ertheless the intellect seems to Inn different parte-of the brain. Consider the habits of nay friend. One day furnishes the momentum for the next one; that is the secret of Ins entire career. So we find this man at 50 years of age as grown even strong- er., liealthier and happier. And there are multitudes of young men whe need above all things else to study the law of mental rest through mental work. By mastering It thee would 'double the r intellee- tual output and recover THE CREATIVE TOUCH. But if the change of one's thought by reading and writing brings rest, it also secures mental fertility and productiveness. In the realm of the fields everything depends on fer- tilization. Here aro the clover fields, with red and white, Here are tho apple orchards on widely separated hills. But here, too, aro the honey bees that flit from field to field and orchard to orchard, parrying pollen, and fertilizing bough and branch. And thoughts must speed from the field of poetry to that of fiction; from notion. to history, to politics; from biography to religion, for so the intellect is fertilized and the im- agination fed. For that reason Mr. Gladstone kept three desks—at one desk he worked on politics, statistio proposed laws. .At another desk he worked on his literary task, the Greek or Latin, poet, while religious books were piled on the third: The one subject helped the other. 1VIMA lie found something in literature that started his mind going on politics, once the flame was fully kindled, he turned to the -new theme at the next desk. What freshness, therefore, in his articles!'• Wliat 'variety in hin thinking! Staleness is impossible to a raan with such a method. Here is the secret of intellectual fertility,. The mind works in two states. First of all it is quiet, passive and receptive. • Then the intellect is like the candle that is unlighted; light is there, only it is latent. In another Mood the intellect is fully kindled. Some event, some crisis of sorrow or joy, a great oration or song or ser- mon or drama has kindled the flame, and the mind glows hour *after hour, ' EMITTING SPARICS. 13yron understood the law. Horead • until he found a thought that would rouse his creative power, and then he would seize his pen and write. Ruskin knew the law, and used to send his servant out to bring a golden bough for his table to kindle his raind while he was writing on trees and leaves. The bodk was the match that kindled the candle and released its flame. Some books give the information, are treasure -houses of ideas; their authors have distilled fon ns the very essence of their gen- ius, their thoughts, their ambitions, their aspirations, their dreanas, their passions and their victories. Many a tired youtb flings himself down at night to rest in soddenness, when what he needs is to read. Are you depressed? Read books of mirth and laughter. Are you peeking ,ithe path to success? Read the biograp- hies of the great. Are you content- ed, having lost ambition? Open to the story of the inventors, the mer- chants, the statesmen, the heroes. Are you pessimistic and miserable and conscious of your sin? Read the story of that Divine Teacher who dwelt in Bethlehem and who journeyed over the continents and the centuries like an advancing sum- mer that carries beauty and bounty in its wings.

But he was not unhappy about it. One of nis daily love -songs, in which the notes rippled ad tutable'd over each other like a nainantre cascade bubbling and spark- ling in the spring sunshine, would nave been a revelation to the most skeptical of hen-pecked husbands, and perhaps have been an insight of a heaven lie was perversely consenting to be barred from. No, Jenny was not a shrew, except perhaps away from her 'own ,home— and that was from a dread of being imposed on—and Tom was anything but cowed. All day long Jenny sang about her liousewitely duties of reno- vating and cleaning, and 'all day long, when not assisting her, Tom was perched upon the railing of the outside stairs, or perhaps on a clothe -post, singing ecstatically to her gad himself and the world around: Fortunately they were both of a mei-oriel temperament, as otherwise the surroundings might have checked somewhat the spontaneity of their eongs. The kitchen door • was not six feet away front the nest, and the outside stairs, still nearer, was the common entrance of the family and the house -animals. 'Usually there was a cat upon the stairs, and frequently two or three clogs bounding up or down, and many, many' times a Slay some members of the family, young or old, were stamping or talking nois- ily on the stairs or piazza. The nest was out of sight, and so placed on the sill that no cat could jump to it but tevseyry time the Wrens went in or eut li had to fly down from the beam and across the stairs. They were not at all timid. An odd fact was that they considered themselves the owners, and all the others the intruders. In scolding and ordering them off Jenny became the shrew. and Tom the loud, harsh -voiced wrangler. The cats and dogs especi- ally called out this side of their na- tures. At sight of a cat Jenny would work herself into a perfect frenzy of passion, and with tail erect and eyes Lashing she would our forth a tirade of vituperation that was endurable During the eight months since the only because it was in bird -language commencement of hostilities, the On such occasions Tom added his losses on both sides must have been loud, incessant sconding to the • up - 200,000 men. But that amounts to roar; which was not lessened by the nothing, or so little that the thing is not worth speaking of. The aver- age life of a man is 89 years on all points of the globe, and a man dies at the rate of one a second or a lit- tle over. Now the Russo-Japanese war has lasted eight •months, and during these eight months in all the known -world we find that the deaths are 60 a minute, 3600 an hour, 86,- 400 a day and 2,592,000 a month. Therefore, for eight months, the deaths foot up a.total of 20,786,- 000. Now what do 200,000 men killed in Manchuria in eight months amount to compared with the 20,- 786,000 who have died during the same period? The proportion is 1 per cent. It is just as if somebody discovered that in a town in which the mortality is usually 150 a week there died last week 152. The philosophers who reason in this way leave little room for an answer. - Statistics are admirably made for closing people's mouths. The fortune of France is estimated at about 400 milliards, and its pop- ulation is about 88,000,000. Conse- quently each one of us is the happy possesser of about 10,500 francs.

This morning Jenny bad freed her mind to them before the family got up, then had scolded the various membeis of the family for going out and in, and finally had nearly lost her tail -feathers in an 'effort to share the breakfast of one of the 'dogs while he was chasing the cat from the yard. Tom had left her an hour before to get a few more feathers or some bits of down, or even a very soft piece of wool from a sheep's back, to, finish the nest. Another half-liour went by, and then the song began to hush away into expectancy. It was long since time for him to return. The wool cOuld have been found in a few min- utes, the clown Obtained along the river, where ferns abounded, and even the feathers, as a last resort, could have been snatched from the breast of a placidly feeding lien. The sheep were feeding in one of the fields below, but Tom was no- where in their vicinity. Further down wound the river, and from there came the voices of many sparrows in noisy altercation. She hoped that Tom. had not gotten into any trouble with them. They were such quarrel- some birds, and were in the habit of fighting among th'emselves, or attack- ing an outsider 'a dozen or more at a time, without any sense of justice or fair play. Tom would. Beet any one or two of throe of them even though he knew he would be beaten. But what could lie do against a whole flock? They would tear him to piece es. But Tom's voice could not be 'dis- tinguished among the others, and though there were many sparrows in sight .along the river, she could not see him among them. She was pois- ing her wings for a search in that direction, when there came a sudden whirring of wings, and Tom dropped upon the roof beside her. In his bill were a dozen or more tiny, soft, 'de- licately gray feathers with a brown- ish tinge, exactly matching their own breasts, Jennie uttered a chirp of de- light, and caught the feathers in her own bill. Tom had such an eye for color and harniony. Re was a dear fellow, anyway. It was not until after they had re- turned to the nest, and the feathers had been arrahgecf for both comfort and effect, that slie noticed Tom's appearance. One wing was badlir Soiled, with ith feathers rumpled: a little spot of blood domed on his breast, and near one eye was a fresh sear that looked as though it had been received in a recent pugilistic encounter, Jenriy uttered a chirp of pity and reproach.

Ales a point of fact, if a censua could be taken, it would undoubtedly be found that for every Anglophobe among the czar's subjecte there are several Anglophiles. And this is the more remarkable, as for years 'tient every- thing that could be done has been done to promote the spread of An- glophobia in Russia. • THE HATER'S REASONS. Even in linssian circles where England is most hated, says The London World, there is nothing in- stinctive in tlie feeling against her, the !haters have or think they have• good reason for hating her. Tf Rus- sian soldiers and sailors, with the Grand Duke Alexis and the Grand Duke Alexander at their head, are violently -anti -English at the , present moment, it is beemike the3r are con- vinced that thie disastrous wan in which they are new engaged is en- tirely our handiwork—that we•protnp- ted the Japanese to attaek them, and are now actually fleeting against them secretly, side by side with their, open foe, They are firmly convinced, too, thanks in a great measure to their German news -purveyors, that we are quite wild with delight with the anisfortunes that have befallen them in this war, and that we rend the very firmament with our rejoic- ings and our shouts of triumph every time we Hear they are defeated. Even before this struggle began they had, of course, their grievances against us, owing to the part we played in 1878 in robbing them, as tney celled it, of the fruits of their war with Turkey. Were it not for England, the Russian flag would be flying over Constantinople to -day; this is . a point concerning winch they have ' never a doubt, nor yet has any Pan - slave This fact accounts surely for any enmity Russian soldiers, sailors or Panslavs may cherish against the English nation. ItHASON OF IT ALL. Tlima M. Pobindonostzeff and his followers nave also goon reason for their lAnglophobia. In their eyes, England is the pexsonifioation of con- stitutionalism, religious toleration, freedom of the press and everything, else that their souls most abhor; just, as, in the eyes of the bureaucrats, she Is the personification of everything that entails on them trouble, an- noyance and anxiety.

"Every Russian who falls under thein influence straightway begins to dream of a constitution and to plot against the state." This being the case, it is, of course, the most natural thing in the world that the clergy and the officials should unite in fighting) tooth and nail against the spread of English ideas in Russia. And the way they fight is by trying to excite! hatred of England, trying to stir up against her national ill -feeling. 'This is their regular plan of cam- paign; and, while carrying it out, they can always count on the condiat easpport of the army, the navy and the whole Pan -Slav section of soci- ety. The anti -English propoganda in no new thing in Russia; it wee starti ed years agoe and was already in full swing in the black famine year: Of this we have proof; for, whent plague followed the famine, men were. found going • about among the peas- ants, telling them, that it was all the fault of the money sent through the English relief fund. The Englisbl Queen was jealous of the czar because he had more subjects than she had, these emissaries declared. She had, therefore, preten'ded to be sorry when she beard that his crops had failede and had sent money to buy corn foz the poor. This money, however, she had smeared with poison before she sent it, that it minht infect the Run- sians ivitli the "'plague and cause them to, die, so that she I:nig-tit have; more people than the czar had. From; that day to this, this story arid many more of the same kind have been deliberately sprea-d abrea-dt aan.ong the uneducated clasees lia: Russia. Yet, in spite of it al], there is infinitely less Anglophobia in Rus- sia, than there is in Germa,ner—strong proof, surely, Wet between the Rus- sian nation and. the English there must be much -innate friendly sympa- thy. BRITAIN HELD RESPONSII3Li FOR THE WAR. Seed Was Sown and Cultivated by GGerman Press and Statesmen. • For months past "Anglophobia in Russia" has been a favorite subject of discussion wherever Germans do congregate. There is nardly a jour- nalist in the Vaterland but has pub- lished articles dealing with the when and wherefores of the blind, instinc- tive hatred which, according to him, Russians of every class entertain for England and all things English. Some few Germane, just one here and there, have bemoaned aloud this Rus- sian Anglophobia as a real misfor- tune for the whole world, because a source of danger to the peace of Europe. On the other lian,d, the overwhelming majority of them have rejoiced at it, and still continue to rejoice, nolding that it is a, source of weakness alike to Russia and to England, and therefore a source of strength to Germany. Vie one pa.rty however, seems to take it for grant- ed, equally with tlie other, that the national antipathy does really exist; and that it is a political factor that must be reckoned with. As for the 'German government, they no not take for granted—in public, at any rate -- that it does exist, but they go out of their way sometimes to draw at- tention to itsnexistence. This is a signincant fact, one whith it be- hoves English folk to bear well in mind just now; for the kaiser's min- isters know well whether their laiensa ler fellow -countrymen know or not, that there is no blind, instinctive hatred ol England in Russia: that wblat lietren of her exists there is the result of much careful sowing of ions, much cannel watering and tending. These ministers know, too, just as BIC:meanie himself knew years ago, diet the only nation for avhini the Russians', as a. nation, entertain instinctive liatred iS the German. IN CERTAIN CIRCLES.
