from the Scientific Americana
National Differences in W Visiting.

One of our English contemporaries, in
lengthy article concerning the whistler,
winds up as follows:
"Considering the vast annoyance caus-
ed to men and women by the prevalent
vice of whistling, we may well ponder on
the question: Why do men whistle? :?
Women do not, although we could well
tolerate anything from their lips but de-
termined refusals What impulse leads
a man to inclose a circular space with his
lips, and then by sheer pneumatic force
to make the noise called whistling2 If
the lips looked more elegant in this form,
there would be plea for whistling. But
this is very rarely the case. Granted a
moderate-sized mouth, with upper lip
rather small, the personal appearance o:
the whistler may be tolerated. But take
a big mouth and a pent roof under lip,
and the whistler presents to you a fac
sinaile of the extremity of an elephants
trunk. Strange to say the latter class of
whistlers are by far the more prevalent;
and if whistling be fine art, and not
one of the ills that flesh is heir to- the
big -mouthed are the most efficient though
the most persevering performers. We
could read with great comfort and inter
est between two large saws that were be-
ing charpened than near an inveterate
whistler"
Just after reading the above, we were
looking over a pile of American ex-
changes, when we came across the fol
lowing in one of our agricultural news
papers:
"An old farmer once said that he would
not have hired man on his farm who
did not habitually whistle He always
hired whistlers said he never knew a
whistling laborer to find fault with his
food, his bed, or complain of any little
extra work he was asked to perform.
Such a man was generally kind to chill
dren and animals in his care. He would
whistle chilled lamb into warmth and
life, and would bring his hat full of eggs
from the barn without breaking one of
them. He found such a man more care
full about closing gates, putting up bars.
and seeing that the nuts on his plow
were all properly tightened before he
took it into the field He never knew
whistling hired man to kick or beat
COW, nor drive her on run into stable.
He had noticed that the sheep he fed in
the yard and shed gathered around him
as he whistled, without fear He never
had employed whistler who was not
thoughtful and economical"
This leads US to ponder and wonder if
the foreign whistler is less an artist than
the American, or if the difference in
opinion between the English and the
home writer is owing to their individual
tastes. There seems to be principle in.
volved. Which shall be accepted, the
opinion of the foreign or the American
editorH 1t seems to be of national con-
sequence to have the matter decided.

Careless Business Men.

1t is impossible for man to be careless
in business affairs, or unmindful of his
business obligations without being weak
or rotten in his personal character.
Show me man who never pays his notes
when they are due, and who shuns the
payment of his bills when it is possible,
and does both things as habit, and l
shall see a man whose moral character is,
beyond all question: bad. We have had
illustrious examples of this lack of bust
ness exactness. We have had great men
whose business habits were simply scan
dalous-who never paid their bills unless
when urged and worried, and who ex-
pended for their personal qualification
every cent of money they could lay their
hands upon. These delinquencies have
been apologized for as among the excen-
tricities of genius, or as the unmindful-
ness of small affairs which naturally at
tends all greatness of intellect and intel
lectual effort; but the world has been
too easy with them altogether. / could
name great men-and the names of some
of them arise before the readers of this
letter-who are atrociously dishonest. l
do not care how many amiable and ad-
mirable traits they possess. They were
dishonest and untrustworthy in their
business relations, and that simple fact
condemns them. | am ready to believe
any bad of man who habitually neg
lects to. fulfil his business obligations.
Such a man is certainly rotten at heart.
He is not to be trusted with public re-
sponsibilities, or a rum bottle, or q wo-
man.-Dr. Holland.

E The Schools and the Press.

The periodicals and newspapers print
ed in the United States very nearly
equal those of all the rest of the educat-
ed world. In 1870 it was estimated that
1912 were published in Europe, Asia and
Africa, and in our own country 5,S7I.
Since that time our publications have in
creased, it is supposed, nearly to an
equality with those of all the world be-
sides, and our forty millions of people
read as much as all the rest of the hun
dreds of millions upon the same globe
who can read at all To our free insti-
tutions much of this inquisitive spirit is
due; but to the common school system
we owe the capacity of gratifying our Gu
riosity and cu1tivating general knowl-
edge of the condition Of our fellow men.
1t is estimated that the number of copies
of newspapers and periodicals printed in
Great Britain in 1870 was 100000, 900,
and an equal number in France. The
census returns show that in the same
year l,500,000,000 copies were printed in
the United States. Our readers consume
and pay for periodical literature twice
as great as that of the two populous cen
ters of European civilization; and the
census reports show how closely the
progress of a demand for newspapers is
connected with the advance of the COM
mon schools. Where there are no pub
lie schools, there are no newspapers; /;
where the teacher leads the way, the
press follows. In uneducated Georgia,
for example, with population of nearly
100000, there are only l23 newspapers
and periodicals. in Massachusetts,, with
a population of nearly 1900 900, there
are $50. The circulation of the news
papers of Georgia is IA, ,447, ,3SS; of Massa-
oh ffc II, 81, fa1 10
the annual circulation was, in 1870,
93,000,000 in a population of 1862, ,6SI,
In uneducated Texas, tive-fold as large as
Ohio, with a population of $4,000, the
circulation was 5,8l3,432. Only 7 copies
of newspaper are printed yearly in
Texas for each inhabitant; in Ohio, 50;
in Massachusetts,, IA in New York, 113;
in Pennsylvania, 81. The total number
of publications in North Carolina, we are
told would allow only one paper to each
inhabitant every three months; New
York prints l13 copies year for each of
its people, Eugene Lawrence, in Har

Practical knowledge.

Those parents who believe that they
have done all for their sons by giving
them liberal school education, make
one Of the most distressing mistakes that
aff1icts modern society and business cir
cles. No class of young men in city or
country is SO deserving of pity as those
who have good education, good morals,
but no practical knowledge of the solid
business affairs of life They are deserv-
ing of pity because they are really worthy
of a better position in life than their ca
pabilities will warrant, and because they
are not to blame for being untitled for
responsible positions. Thousands of
well-educated young men walk the
streets of the cities, even in the flush of
prosperous times, who do not know how
to earn their livelihood, and go seeking,
day after day, such positions as they be-
lieve their tllents demand, and meet
with disappointment at every turn. 1t
is noteworthy fact that nearly, if not
quite all, of the great, good, and substan-
tial business men of our country, have
come up from boyhood familiar with the
use of the ak, plow, forge, or plane; and
they are not now, nor have they ever
been, ashamed to own that their hands
have been hardened with toll. Labor is
a great gift; it is promoter of health,
and hence, of happiness and prosperity.
No young man is without the means of
success who is willing to work Let him
secure an education adapted to the prac-
tical affairs of life; and, with his habits
of industry and perseverance, success
will be certain, no matter how many OBJ
stacles may have beset his early career.

A Successful Failure.

There can be no doubt that all the pro-
| fessional occupations are overstocked.
There are too many lawyers, doctors,
clergymen, ETC. Education is an excel
lent thing, but too many having received
good education feel bound to enter
profession, and thus make poor lawyers
or doctors, when they might succeed in
other walks of life. AS an illustration of
this fact, member of the French Senate
narrates the following little history
l know young man who was candi-
date for the degree of Bachelor of Arts,
and was examined by NJ. st. Marc Girar-
din, Professor of History, of the Sor-
bonne
He asked of the candidate:
"Of what did Socrates die p
Socrates sir, died.
"Yes, we know he died but how p
A companion of the candidate, per-
ceiving his ignorance and embarrass-
ment whispered, "Hemlock,"
The candidate, not even being aware
that Socrates was compelled to drink
poison, misunderstood the whisper, and
answered.
"Hemorrhage. sir, Socrates died of
hemorrhage"
in ancient history now let US hear some
answers in modern history. Who was
the mother of Henry IV?'
Again the candidate was at loss, and
his neighbor whispered, Jeanne DIAL
bret"
On hearing this the candidate replied,
with great decision,-
Jeanne d Arc"
What. Joan of Arc, the maid of Or
leans? You may sit down, sir"
NJ. De Fonrey, another professor, now
interposed, saying
This boy should not be frightened by
questions which he cannot answer. Let
me examine him. 1 am convinced he
will answer me correctly"
From what place do you come p
From Chollet, monsieur.
at is fine country p
at is indeed, sir. 1t has rivers and
plains, and very pure air.
Better and better. And what is your
fathers business?'
He is manufacturer of linen cloth,
napkins, handkerchiefs, etc. We send
them all over France, and even to Amer
ica" I'D
: Return to Chollet, my friend, make
linen. and give my compliments to your
father"
The youth did so, and instead of be-
coming poor lawyer or literary man, he
became q millionaire, and highly res
pected.

Press On.

This is brief speech, but full of inspi-
ration, and opening the way to all yicto-
ry. The mystery of Napoleon's career
was this-under all difficulties and dis
couragements, Press on!' 1t solves the
problem of all heroes; it is the rule, by
which to weigh rightly all wonderful sue
cesses, and triumphal marches to fortune
and genius.
Press ont" Never despair; never be
discouraged, however stormy the heav-
ems, however dark the way; however
great the difficulties, and repeated fail
ures, Press on T. If fortune has played
false with thee to-day, do thou play true
for thyself tomorrow, If thy riches
have taken wings, and left thee, do not
weep thy life away; but be up and doing,
and retrieve the loss, by energies-new
action. If an unfortunate bargain has
deranged thy business, do not fold thy
arms, and give up all as lost but stir
thyself, and work more vigorously,

tied by cold dog without any hinges or
knob. Through the broken window
might be seen woman cutting cabbages
with baby on her arm through the shat
tered panes of which daylight feebly
shone Another window looked out
upon the street where stood little man
wiping the sweat from his face with a
hand-organ carrying monkey on top by

Mrs. Armstrong; brother, whose name
was Reuben, at his work. and represent
ed themselves as two lawyers who had
undertaken his sisters case without
mentioning what her trouble was
81 expected it would get her into
trouble, was Reuben's remark, which
showed that he knew about the crime.
This information he might have got
from the newspapers, but still it struck
the detective of a knowledge acquired
from another source. AS they were con-
versing with Reuben, they observed a
man watching them from the adjoining
smithy.
You had better come with US and see
your sister" one of the officers said: Go
and ask the foreman's leave, and refer
him to US, if necessary, for an explana-
ton
Reuben said he would do so and turn
ed toward the officer at the gate.
Now let us see what is in that smithy. !
one of the detectives said, and grasping
their revolvers in the pockets of their
overcoats, they moved in the direction
indicated. As they reached the door
they heard crash, and saw the figure of
a man passing through the roof near the
chimney.
Round there and watch the outside"
said one of the officers as he sprang into
the smithy. But the man had disap-
peared, and rushing forth the officer was
just in time to see the fugitive spring
from the roof As he reached the ground
he fell, and before he could rise the grip
of both detectives was upon him.
He was secured in a moment, and
proved to be the man they wanted.
He was tried at the Carlisle Assizes in
April last, and convicted by overwhelm-
ing evidence. Before the time for his
execution arrived, he wrenched apart
one of the bars of his cell door, and with
jagged edge inflicted terrible wound on
his throat, from the effect of which he
died in few hours.
By what means he induced Kate Coul-
ter to quit the house with him on the fa-
tai night and accompany him to the
Black Tarn remains a mystery. 1t is
probable, however, that the girl had
some lingering regard for her former
lover, and was led out of pure goodness
of heart to grant him an interview Why
he removed her clothing can. only be
guessed. The Tarn was frozen over and
here and there holes had been made for
the fish. Through one of these holes the
murderer must have forced the body,
and finding that the clothes, which were
woolen, stuck to the ice and prevented
the body from going under, the supposi-
ton is that he stripped the corpse and
concealed the apparel where it was sub
sequently found.

A Boys Description of a Dance.

A boy of sixteen who had never been
to dance and had no idea of what it
was, hearing that there was to be one
few miles from his fathers house, felt
great desire to go. AS his parents had
no particular objection, he went. But it
was not much oyer an hour after he left
home, when he came back running as
fast as his legs could carry him. and
nearly out of strengh and breath. AS
soon as he had recovered a little, he re-
lated what he saw, as follows:
"When / came to town, l went into the
room of the tavern where the dance was
to be. 1t was almost filled with people.
In one corner sat man that had some
kind of long-necked animal, which he
took in his hands, and pinched its ears,
and then stroked its back with stick;
and then it began to scream, and the
people got frightened and began to run
around the room. hunting for the door,
and could not find it. Nobody. l be-
lieve, found it but me, and I alone es-

HONEST OPINION.

MI. ID. Ii. Stevens
DEAR Smiths is to show that my son
was taken sick in January, 1864, with
Scrofula, which came out in large sores
and ulcers on his leg and hip. His leg
was swelled more than twice its natural
size. He had several doctors of high
standing in their profession-two from
Boston and three from Charlestown, with
out getting bit better. He was obliged
to lie wherever he was placed for he had
no use of his limbs whatever. When we
had given up all hopes of his living we
were told to try Vegetine, the great blood
remedy; and he had taken it but short
time before we could see a great change.
The sores run so bad that we had to
change the cloths four OF five times a day. Still,
he was getting better; fer he could move his
limbs and help himself q little. He was soon
able TO sit up in bed, and, by constant use of
Vegetine, it has cured him. lie has lame leg,
which he will probably have for life; but we all
honestly believe, if we had used Negetine be-
fore we had bothered with those doctors, 1t
would have saved the of his leg, and restor-
ed il 10 natural health. hope all those troub-
led with Scroiula will read this testimony of
me and my son, who is now well and able TO
speak for himself CATHERINE MAEhONEY,
