No Time Wasted.
Probably since the world began there
etas never a period when men wasted
their time as iittte as they do now,
says the London Spectator. Whether
they use it well or ill, tbey at least do
not let 1t slip away empty. Never Was
the fascination of work so potent as at
the present moment, and never before
were tbo same keenness and concen-
batten displayed In the •pursuit of dis-
traction. Energy is the dominant gent-
try of the Anglo•Saxon race, the quart-
ter they leve to exercise, -the quality
they Cannot cho¢sq but admire. Work
is no longer ragnrded- as a necessary
or even wholly as a means to an
.end; it is valued for its own sake, Tho
richest men In America work as hard
as the poorest, or at least pretend to do
so, lest the society In which they moven
should suppose them neon of ictal;re, n
supposition which would be, we un-
derstand, against an American, what-
ever his position in life.
