The King IF Burmah.

The King OF Burmah is little over &c,
and he has been barely four months on
the throne. He is q tall, we'll built
personable young man. He is very
fair in complexion. has a good fore
head, clear, steady eyes, and firm but
pleasant mouth. His chin is full and
somewhat sensual-looking, but withal
he is manly, frank-faced young fell
low, and is said to have gained self pos.
session, and lost the early nervous awk
wardness of his new position with great
rapidity. OF his character little has
yet developed, but circumstances have
occurred to prove that he is very fur
from destitute Of will Of his own, and
that he has no fondness for any dimin-
ution of the royal prerogntive. As we
passed out OF the palace after the in
terview, a house in the palace grounds
was pointed out to me, within which
had been imprisoned in squalid misery
ever since the illness OF the late king
some twenty male members of the royal
blood, who we're regarded as likely, If
left at large, to use efforts for the him
drance Of the accession of the lad who
now sits on the throne. and who, among
sAS youngest u THO bOue Oh his l0tuoI,
was selected to succeed. partly by fe-
male influence, partly by reason of the
belief Of the ministers that he would
interpose little obstacle toward the &C.
complishment of tho programme of
constitutional reform with which they
desire to begin new reign. And in q
stable near by. incarcerated there
month ago, are confined three of these
ministers, living proofs that constitu-
tional reform is ticklish and risky un-
dertaking, when all the traditions about
the throne are those Of absolutism, and
the youngsters who are soft, seeming
and pliable when powerless nonenities,
learn swiftly to take their own part
when placed in a position OF power.

breakers. but it is also true that many a
king-maker has himself been broken
by the king he has made. And dare
say the ministers in the stable there are
rather sorry now that they did not
make another hoice.--Londoa Necs.

KEEPING Harness should
never oe kept in the stables where ma
nure is constantly generating large
quantities Of ammonia. This ammonia
is rapidly absorbed by the leather. and
the effect upon the leather is about the
same as would result from saturating it
with strong lye. In word, ammonia
rots leather, and hence keeping harness
in the stable is sure to result in it's
damage more or less.

Train the Boys for Business.

There is one element in the home in
struction which boys receive prior to
their advent into the business world to
which too little attention has been
given. We mean the cultivation Of
habits of punctuality, system, order
and responsibility. In too many house
holds boys from twelve to seventeen
years are administered to too much by
loving mothers or other female mem.
bers of the family. Boys lives through
those years are the halcyon days of their
existence. Up in the morning just in
season for breakfast; nothing to do but
start off early enough so as not to be
late; looking upon an errand as taking
so much time and memory away from
enjoyment; little thought of personal
appearance except when reminded by
mother to spruce up" little; finding
his wardrobe always where mother puts
tin fact, having nothing to do but
enjoy himself.
Thus his life goes on until school
ends. Then he is ready for business.
He goes into an Office where everything
is system, order and precision. lie is
expected to keep things neat and order
ly, sometimes kindle fires, file letters,
do errands-in short, become a part OF
o nicely regulated machine, where
everything moves in systematic grooves,
and each one is responsible for the cor
rectness in his department, and where,
in place of ministers to his comfort, he
finds task-masters, more or less lenient,
to be sure, and everything in marked
contrast to his previous life. issjg
In many instances the change is
too great. Errors become numerous,
blunders, overlooked at first, get to be
matters of serious moment; then pa
tience is overtasked, and the boy is told
his services are no longer wanted. This
is his first blow. and sometimes he
never rallies from it. Then comes the
surprise to the parents, who too often
never know the real cause, nor where
they have failed in the training Of their
children. ..,...
What is wanted is every boy to have
something special to do, to have some
duty at o definite hour aud to learn to
watch for that hour to come, to be an
swerable for certain portion of the
routine of the household. to be trained
to anticipate the time when he may
enter the ranks of business, and to be
fortified with habits of energy, accuracy
and application, too often of more i'm
portance than superficial book learning.

LONDON, Feb. 27,-The Times
Rome correspondent says that re-
ports from all parts of the PENN
sula bring lamentable accounts of
Of the damage by the tempest.
The whole coast from Genoa to the
south of Naples is strewn with the
wrecks Of small crafts, and many
larger vessels are seriously injured.
In all the ports ships were driven
from their moorings. All the small
crafts along Rivera di Chiaja were
swept to sea and lost. The new
quay at PasilIppa was almost de-
stroyed. At Leghorn two English
steamers broke from their moor
ings and caused much injury
At Fallonica, four Italian and two
English vessels were wrecked. The
inland effect Of the storm is equally
disastrous, At Puazginola, near
Sienna, the campanile of the church
was blown down while the people
were at mass, killing two priests,
while officiating at the altar, and
three other persons, and wounding
twenty -four. A similar catastrophe
occurred at Ancoua, where the vault
of the church yielded to the force of
the storm and killed the priest, who
was celebrating mass, and injured a
number Of the congregation. At
Rome the force of the wind was un
paraIleled.
