How TO EDUCATE A MAN OF BusINEss-In
the education of business man, it must nev-
er be forgotten that his future life will be q
LIE OF action, and not of study Great care
must, therefore, be taken that the health be
not impaired In strife for useless honors.
that the feelings be not suffered to grow over
sensitive in recuse contemplation, nor the
mind lose its spring and electricity under a
load of cumbersome and impractical learn
ing. 1t has been said that at least one fourth
of the students of colleges leave them with I'm,
paired health full one-half are too sensitive
to bear the rude jostlings of the world and,
perhaps, two-thirds of the balance have some
defect that would seriously mar their happiness
and usefulness. A collegiate education can
not be recommended, and if attainable, ia not
desirable. A counting house is the business
mans college. When the youth has finished
his course of preparatory education, at school
or private seminary, under the charge of an
instructor, who teaches as much by conversa-
tlon as by prescribed course, he should go
into counting house, that he will learn order,
method, obedience, and acquire a knowledge
Of life and the business of life. 1t is there
that he will learn the value of time and the
value OF money, two very important things to
know. Whatever of concet he may have
brought from the village academy is soon
rubbed out of him. He learns to obey, to sub
NIT and to be patient----to endure reproof with
out anger, aud to bear contradictions with
good humor He is obliged to keep his wits
about him, to decide quickly, to have accurate
eyes, and truthful ears, and to learn that there
are just sixty minutes in an hour A count
ing house education will be of advantage to
every man. whatever his future education NAV
be. moral education need not be dwelt up
on. This is especially work of self-cutiva-
ton. No ones principles can be called temp
tation proof but those which are the result of
logical conviction, and for which repeated
sacrifices have been made AS ability to com
muncate varied and practical knowledge by
conversation is qualification that especially
fits man to be teacher, it should nor be over

CURIOUS TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRoR.-Professor
Trench, in his latest work on the English Ian
guage, points out curious typographical er-
ror in the Goth verse of the 23d chapter of
Matthew. The words (which strain at a gnat
and swallow camel" the professor thinks
contain misprint, which having been passed
over in the edition of 1911, has held its ground
ever since. The translator intended to say,
6 which strain out gnat and swallow camel, /"
that being the correct rendering of the origi-
nal, as appears in Tynsdale's and Cranmers
translations, both Of which have strained out"
1t was the custom of the stricter Jews to strain
their wine, vinegar, and other portables thro'
linen or gauze, lest unawares they should drink
down some little unclean insect, as gnat, and
thus transgress the Levitical law 1t was to
this custom the Saviour alluded, intending to
say that the Scribes and Pharisees, while they
strain out gnat from their drink, would yet
swallow camel at gulp.

The Artesian Well i'm Paris.

One OF the most extraordinary things in Pa
rs Cor, indeed, in the world) is the artesian
we'll of Grenelle. 1t was begun in 1884, and
finished after several forced suspensions, about
the year 184l. 1t is bored in the centre of
the court of the Abbatoir, goes 100 feet into
the bowels of the earth, and the column of wa
ter, nine inches in diameter, rises in copper
tube 1872 feet above the surface From this
elevation it descends by means of another tube
to the ground, and is conducted to the reser-
voir at the Pantheon, whence it is distributed
for the use of the inhabitants The tempera-
ture OF the water is constantly about eighty
degrees Farenheit 1t holds several salts in
solution, among the rest iron, (Which colors
glass submitted to its action) and is highly
charged with carbonic acid gas Now, what
is most interesting about this we'll is that the
facts developed by it, it being the deepest yet
bored, have served to explode the old doctrine
that such wells were mere examples of Jet of
water having its head on some mountain or
high table land, passing through the ground,
and springing to the outlet up to the height of
its head
The force that drives column of water up
to an elevation of 1900 feet, and with such ra-
pidity as to supply 100000 gallons in "a
hours the force that shows itself so variable,
sometime comparatively quiet, at others almost
terrific in its violence, is thought to be volca-
mic, and to result from expansion within the
inner crust of the earth-to be, in fact, sort
of explosive escape from an artificial valve in
the immense steam boiler on whose surface we
live. When the well was first opened and be-
fore the water was carried to its present height,
vast quantities of mud came over, from which
the height of the column now clarifies it, But
for while the residents in the vicinity were
greatly alarmed, thinking that the ground on
which they lived was being gradually under
mined by the action of the water, and that
some day they would be engulfed. This notion
has long ceased to alarm them, as it is evident
that the anger has pierced through the rocky
exterior into the very interior, the soft central
mass of the earth, whence the detrius that
frightened the Parisians proceeded, and notas
they ignorantly imagined, from just beneath
their houses.-Paris Correspondence Ne,cark

ings since he dropped in his present place at
the table. So much had his conduct affected
her with a sense of the ridiculous, that she
could not suppress the smile that curled her
lips smile that was felt by Tilghman as the
death-blow to all his hopes of winning her for
his bride. With the substance of these hopes
went his appetite and with that he went al
so-that is, from the table, without so much as
waiting for the dessert On the forward deck
he ensconced himself until the boat reached
South Amboy, n. j., and then took care not
to push his way into the ladies' car, q species
of self-denial to which he was totally unaccus-
toned.
Six months afterwards he did not venture
to call on Miss Walcot-Tilghman read the
announcement of the young ladys marriage to
a Mr.. Walker, and not long afterwards met
her in company with her husband. He proved
to be the travelling companion who had been so
disgusted with his boorish conduct when on his
last trip to the east.
Our young gentleman has behaved himself
rather better since when from home and we
trust that some other young gentlemen who
are too much in the habit of taking care of
number one when they are among strangers
will be warned by this modification, and cease
to expose themselves to the ridicule of well
bred people.

the whole system. In less than ten years after
this apparently extravagant notion was con
sidered a proof of insanity, it was maintained
by Sir William Hersche as rational and pro-

his own observations on the structure of the
sun.

True BENEFAcToRs,-T day laborer who
earns, with horny hands and the sweat of his
brow. coarse food for wife and children,
whom he loves, is raised by his generous motive
to true dignity and though wanting the re-
fnements of life, is a nobler being than those
who think themselves absolved by wealth from
serving others. 1t is worthy OF note that the
men and women who think the most highly OF
themselves, and most meanly of others, are
those who render back to society, for the good
things they enjoy, the smallest return of per-

How TO KEEP sILKs-Our lady readers may
be glad to learn that silk articles should not
be kept folded in white paper, as the chloride
of lime used in bleaching the paper will prob
ably impair the color of the silk Brown or
blue paper is better the yellowish, smooth
India paper is best of all. Silks intended for
dress should not be kept long in the house be-
fore they are made up, as lying in the folds will
have tendency to impair its durability by
causing it to cut or split, particularly if the
silk has been thickened by gum. Thread-lace
walls are very easily cut. But dresses of vel
vet should not be laid by with any weight up
on them If the nap of thin velvet is laid
down it is not possible to raise it up again
Hard silk should never be wrinkled, because
the thread is easily broken in the crease, and
it never can be rectifed The way to take
the wrinkles out of silk scarfs aud handker-
chiefs is to moisten the surface evenly with
sponge and some weak glue, and then pin the
silk with some toilet pins around the selvedges
on mattrass or feather bed, taking pains to
draw out the silk as tight as possible. When
dry, all the wrinkles will have disappeared.
The reason of this is obvious to every person
1t is nice job to dress light colored silk, and
few should try it. Some silk articles should
be mostened with weak glue or gum-water.

WOMEN VS. OxEN-A certain clergyman
once addressing his audience in the southern
part of New Jersey, had occasion to quote
Luke XVI. 1870: "a certain man made
agreat supper, and bade many, and sent his
servant at supper time to say to them that
they were hidden, come, for all things are now
ready And they all with one consent began
to make excuse. The first said unto him, |
have bought piece of ground, and l must
needs go and see it 3: | pray thee have me ex-
cused. Another said | have bought five
yoke of oxen, and / go to prove I pray thee
have me excused And another said, have
married a wsfe, and therefore, cannot come u
Now" said the venerable clergyman, "you
see the man that bought the land merely wish
ed to be excused. The man that bought the
oxen merely wished to be excused !; but the
man that married the wife said positively there
fore for this reason } / cannot come So you
see, my hearers, that arOmuan can draD q man

DECILSE OF AUTHoRITY.-The parent Of to-
day is an extremely mitigated form of the par.
ent of fifty years ago. He has, no doubt, the
same fondness for his child but he is no lon.
ger capable of enforcing the discipline which
the child's social destiny exacts. The parent
of to-day coaxes where the other was content
to command and the child, consequently, in
stead of growing up with back-bone-in-
stead of preserving some vestige of the whole
some rudeness and simplicity of Nature-too
often finds himself in the very crisis of life
dyspeptic, cnervatcd, and inclined to dssipa-
ton. The conjugal relation attests the same
fact The husband of to-day is not the hus-
band his grandfather was before him. His
grandmother had certain awful reverence
for that sublime and stately functionary
But what wife of to-day has any awe for her
husband Catch her." indeed Woman's
rights are extremely well understood, even
where they have not consented as yet to the
foolish symbolsms of dress In the public
sphere the same signs are visible. No one
any longer reverences the Governor, and no
one goes to see the President except with the
patriotic intention of getting Office. Time
was when the little boys would cease from
humble the peg, and reverently step off the
sidewalk, when old DR.. Rogers or the great
Dr. Mason passed. feeling that there was an
inconceivable amount of sanctity locked away
in those sable shrines but DR.. Spring or
Bishop Potter might travel the town to-day,
his countenance perfectly ra Ia It with Shak-
Speare, Milton and Hooker" and find no ur-
chin so humble as to do him reverence. .ar
