badness often, though not always,

keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,

Papers are giving wide circulation to
an article entitled "Beware of Begin.
nings." The article is directed to young
men and is intended for their benefit.
The appropriateness of the advice de-
pends entirely upon the character of tho
beginning young man is going to make.
If he is beginning to make fool of
himself by hanging over front gates until
after midnight; by playing billiards until
the small hours come on; by spending
two dollars when he is only making one;
by loafing on the street and making a
lout out of himself while he ought to be
putting in the time at home; by driving
fast horses when he ought to be walking;
by drinking bad whiskey instead OF cold
water; by going in debt and throwing
away his business character while he
ought to be building up a reputation for
business honor and by lying while he
ought to be telling the truth.
If you are beginning any of these
things you ought to beware of them.
But there is nothing to beware of in be-
ginning, if you are beginning TO tell the
truth; to trade honestly; to treat your
neighbor as yourself; to be sincere IN
religion and politics; to stay at home OF
mig hts; to avoid saloons; to be as pious
and charitable on Tuesday as on Sunday
to prefer an open heart to hypocrisy; and
to live pure, independent and industrious
lives. You can toy with such beginnings
all you choose. The more you get entan'
gled in them, the better it will be for you.
You can never begin too early in life to
embrace them, and if you have neglected
them you are never too old to begin.
The bad beginnings are the ones to
avoid, and the good beginnings are th'
ones to run after and hold on to.

VOLCANIC ACTION.
What Causes the Terrible, Destructive
Flow of Molten Lavas


The recent destructive eruption of one
of our large volcanoes, after many years
of inaction, suggests some interesting
considerations touching the philosophy of
volcanic action. 1t is a striking fact
that all the volcanoes, active and extinct,
of which we know anything are on or
near the sea coast. Those of the great
range of the two Americas are farthest
inland, and those Of the northern conti-
nent the farther of the two, and all ex-
tnct, unless the very recent smoking en-
anations of Mount Hood should indicate
revival of activity. Water must have
something to do with volcanic action, or
we should be as likely to have volcanoes
in the interior as on the edges Of the con-
tinents and islands. Besides every vol,
canic eruption is marked by numerous
outbursts ot steam, and frequently of hot
water.
The ocean then would seem to be
the well from which the volcanic boiler
draws its water in most cases, and the in
terna neat of the earth the furnace that
does the steam making. Whatever NAV
be the cause the volcanic pump appears
to get choked up for a time, or the fur
mace gets out of repair, and no eruption
occurs for years, sometimes for centu.

occasionally one occurs where no volcano
bad ever been suspected, where in fact
there were no mountains, as in Jorullo, in
Mexico, and sometimes they shoot right
out of the ocean. There appears to be nc
sort Of method in the management of the
furnace or boiler. But steam is unuues.

all hands, but ii is by no means an undis
puted theory that the earths internal heat
is the furnace that boils the water. Si
Charles Lyell held that the heat producet
by chemical action among the minerals il
the earth was sufficient TO account for al
volcanic action; that the heat acted on tn,
water which every mine in the worlc
shows to be abundant at all depths below
the surface yet reached, and the resulting
action made an eruption. The heat wa
sufficient for the liquefaction of rocks ant
