SOME CHINESE WISDOM,
THE PHILOSOPHICAL WAY OF DOING THINGS.
Misdirected effort is worse than laziness. The people who are always going somewhere without anything worth while to do when they get these, are criticised by Chemical and Metalinrgical Engineering (New York) in an article headed Crumbs of Com fort from the Fast. The Chinese. we are told, know better. They are more advanced than we are, the editer thinks, in the art of finding out what they wait and then proceeding to enjoy it"
He emphasizes this view with the folicing story: commercial traveller was lately talking to a Chinese gentleman of the old school The latter was robed in beautiful silk; convinced that whatever comes unt of he was a thoughtful person but un-

***And when you arrived sta cago, what did you do?' asked the gentleman of the East. The American could not remember.
Here is a point in philosophy that
it may do us no harm to consida. The detached Oriental does not want to go from New York to Chicago ex- cept for a parpose, and if possible he would prefer to send some one else on the journey than to make it bim- self. This is with no reflection on Chicago or the railway company and its facilities. If he were comfortably settled in Chicago be would have

Another than we are to run away from himself. of his merits is that he is less disposed Very often when we say, I ve got no time to bother about this or that or t'other thing we are seeking another occupation to avoid responsibilities and decisions that we are afraid to meet."
H. G. Wells refers somewhere, the writer reminds us, to a class of people he calls the Godsakers"; meaning those who are constantly exclaiming. "For God's sake let's do something!" -without knowing what to do. He goes on: We know very well how futile misdirected - efforts are in chemical experiment, This is the very basis of rea.arch. Bat it holds true in nearly every walk of life. The Derve-racking haste to do indefinite things is what makes many of us old before our time, and spises fg our old age as well.
"The Chinese gentleman might give us profitable instruction in other respects Politics are indeed in a bad way over there, but then the Chinese people do not lean on politics se we do to manage everything they can't manage themselves. We want to be let alone in our owa business, but a considerable number of us seem to want the government to step in and regulate the other flow to cur profit. The Chinese is singularly free from such aspirations, for good and zuficient reasons.
