Idleness is the mother of vice, and a boy
| who is allowed to grow up in idleness is
pretty sure to be vicious man. The parents
of such boys have fearful responsibility rest
ing upon them when they let their sons run
about late hours of the night instead of keep
ing them at home reading good newspapers
and books, and training them into.moral hab-
its SO as to become respectable men instead of
| idlers, rum drinkers, gamblers and loafers,
which is sure to be the case with the night
| runners and day idlers then the responsibility
is Increased. Give the boys plenty to do. and
you will preserve their morals. Better a
tired body than vicious mind.
John Mole an Englshman noted for his
skill in rapid calculation, was indebted to
chance for the discovery of his talents When
in tl humble capacity of farm servant he
| was sent to carpenters shop for load of
lumber A workmen asked him whether he
| could tell how many cubical quarters of inches
he could cut out of a solid foot of wood, upon
which Mole replied that he could tell how
many could be cut out of ten thousand solid
feet. He then answered the question: How
many farthings there were in million of
modores of the value of twenty-seven shill-
ings each. From that time he applied diligent-
ly to acquire a knowledge of figures, and
became eminent for his skill in algebra.

great curiosity in the shape of clock made
| entirely of bread. The maker is a Peruvian,
native Indian, and he has devoted three
| years of his life to the construction OF this
curiosity. He was very poor, and being with
! out means to purchase the necessary metal
deprived himself regularly OF a portion of his
daily bread, which he devoted to the con-
struction of this curiosity, eating the crust
and saving the soft part for his work. He
made use of certain salt to soidify his ma
| terial and when the various pieces were dry
they were perfectly hard and insoluble to
water. The clock is of respectable size, and
goes perfectly well. The case, which is also of
hardened bread, displays great talent, both
in design and execution, and taken altogether
it would be difficult to find greater curiosity
To all who make use Of the comparative
leisure of midsummer to visit the orchards,
gardens and grounds of others, we have one

shut the gate and leave whatever is behind
you there-don't take it with you. Recol-
lect that when you visit the place of another
you go to see what he has to show and learn
what he has to teach. If you would be a

tentive pupil and not the teacher. When
others visit your place will be the proper

may be shown him, at once institutes a COM

The FRENCH code does not allow lovely wo.
man to drive a coach in the streets and parks
OF Paris. AS amatter of fact she drives every
| afternoon pony chaise or dashing victoria
around the lakes in the Bots de Boulogne,
and no presumptuous policeman ever dreams
OF interfering with an amusement which has
risen to the height of fashion; and for all that
the visitor to the Bots can suppose, the police
interdict against ladies who drive might be
complete dead letter. Three weeks ago an
accident led to the tardy application of the
forgotten law. The young lady driving her
victoria, had the misfortune to run over an
old woman; and although the latter comfort
ed with all sorts of good things, was quite con-
tent to forget and forgive, the guardians of
public morality felt in duty bound to interfere.
She was summoned before the Correctional
Tribune for striking and wounding by i'm
prudence" as well as for infraction of the no
lice rules. She was indignant at finding her
sex included with infants in such prohibition,
and commented upon the want of gallaltry of
the law. There was great impudence, she de-
clarad, on the part of the old woman, who,
sas it were, threw herself at the head OF IL
dor" The Judge inquired as to the charms
OF creature for whom such affection was
displayed, and was informed that he was her
hunter, an English bay, noted for his exaui
site performances in the field. So the wilIful
otfense of driving was visited with a fine OF
$50, and the upsetting Of the old woman with
