To Parents.

The worst thing parent can do TO IA
boy, is to pamper him. A boy can be
/! fed to death, and nursed to death He
can be killed by Totherly kindness and
fatheliy guardianship. Boys are only
young animals with minds, OF with
what will one day be minds. The most
essential part of boy is his stomach.
The next important members in bis or
ganlsm are his legs. Good, strong.
sturdy legs, and IL stomach able to di-
gest anything in the way of food, and
any amount of it, make an equation for
boyhood. Do not, then, keep your boy
III the house, doting father, but give
him ball. Il bat, sled, pair of skates.
anything he needs for out door amuSe-
ment, and send him outdoors. Go with
him yourself if possible. Skate with
him, be Il boy with him now that he NAV

BUSINESS ADVICE.

Two of Rothschild's maxims were, new
er buy anything that was not instrinsi-
cally worth the money paid for it, and to
never have important transactions with
an unlucky man.
Ii YOU would win success be punctual,
courteous, honest, economical, agreeable
in YOUR personal habits and regardful OF
your health.
Be exceedingly careful in The formation
of business partnerships.
Give close personal supervision to every
department OF your business: 1.-The mas
ter's ewes are worth both his hands"
In selecting employees be governed by
their fitness.
To make good bargains, you must be
well posted in regard to the market value
OF the articles you wish to buy or sell and
their qualities and condition.
Pay your bills promptly and collect the
bills due you closely.
Avoid going security and making small
loans.
In making an investment take care that
the principal is perfectly secure.
Keep a sharp lookout for swindling de-
vices. Their name is legion.
Never lend money to strangers.
Beware OF outside speculations. Your
best chance OF making money is always
connected with the business you best un-
derstand.
Never sign paper until you have read
it and fully understand it.
Use your credit sparingly. 1t may
serve a useful temporary purpose, but
payday is sure to come, and you should
endeavor to be always prepared for it.
Always live within your income.
In selecting business, be governed to
some extent by your natural tastes and
abilities; but dnot NEGLIGENT any opportuni-
ty that affords fair advantages, unless it
makes requirements that are positively re-
pulsive.
In seeking situation, remember that
the right kind OF men are always in de-
mand, and that industry and capacity rare
ly 60 empty-haDded.
Neither Overrate nor underrate your ca
pacity, but strive to estimate your powers
at their just value.
Never fail to take receipt for money
paid, and keep copies OF your letters.
Do your business promptly. and bore
not business man with long visits.
Caution is the father of security.
He who pays beforehand is served be-

No man can be successful who neglects
his business.
Do not waste time in useless regrets
over losses.
An hour of triumph comes at last to
those who watch and wait.

Catarrh, in its extent and destructive force
stands to Consumption and is closely allied to
it for in certain constitutions the transition from
one to the other is only question OF tme. 1t is
therefore singular thing that those afflicted with
it should not make it the object of their lives to rid
themselves OF il. A single bottle of any remedy
cannot, in the chronic stage, effect cure nor even
bring the system under its influence fully. IN
many such cases the bones and cartilage OF the
nose are eaten away, the organs of hearing OF
ing, and OF tasting affected as to be rendered
useless, the uvula so elongated and infamed as to
produce a constant and distressing cough. me
ieturn to health must necessarily be slow, under
the most favorable circumstances when SO serl-
ously afflicted but the evidence OF Its great val
ne daily comes to hand, we become more and nor e
satisfied that there does not exist of Catarrh
that cannot be cured by judicious and persistent
use of Sanfords Radical Cure for Catarrh. The
relief in every obtained iron the first dose Is
an indication OF what it will do when the system Is
brought cOnstituliona)ly under is influence.

A Pathetic Incident.

At one Of the schools in st. Louis. mum.
bezs Of the pupils were in the habit Of
bringing luncheon with them, which at noon
they ate together. Among those who did
not 60 home for dinner. the teacher in .
particular room noticed little girl who al.
ways sat looking wistfully at her playmates
when they went out with their luncheon
but who never brought any herself. The
child was neatly but very plainly clad. and
the closest student in school hours. This
odd action Of the child lasted for some time
when one day the teacher noticed that the
little thing had apparently brought her
dinner. The noon hour came. and the chill
dren took their lunch rs usual and went out
TO eat it, the little girl referred to alone re-
manning in the room. with her dinner
wrapped up in paper on the desk before
her. The teacher alvanced to the child,
and asked her why she did not 60 out to eaa
with the rest, at the salne time putting out
her hand toward the package ON the desk.
Quick a. thought tho girl clasped her hands
over it, and exclaimed. sobbing. "Don't
touch il, teacher; and don't tell. please {!
it's only blocks" And that was fact.
Having no dinner to bring. and being
too proud to reveal the poverty q her
family. the child had carefully wrapped
up . number Of small blocks in paper.
and brought the package to present the ap-
peazance Of . lunch. II was nothing-s
mere ridiculous incident in school life; but
It was sufficient to make older and wiser
heads than hers feel snd.

iron may be divided into 100000 paxts.
Still chemistry tells US there are ultimate
parts called atoms or molecules. which are
absolutely invisible. These atoms are at-
tracted to each other by the attraction Of
cohesion. and repellei BY the force Of re-
pulsion. By the action Of both these forces
the atoms are kept in state Of rest. The
solidity Of solid depends on the fact that
each pair Of atoms is in this state Of squi-
kbrium. An iron bar would support ito own
