Young Men, Don't he Helped,

DR.. Prime has very little sympa.
thy to waste upon young men who
get thei- education by forced loans
from relatives. He says to an earn
est young fellow who wants an ed
ucation, but cannot afford to pay for
it:
"The way of the world now is for
you to look about and see who will
help you to get it. That is not the
right way. Look about and see
what you can do to help yourself.
Grind your own ak. Support your
self by honorable industry and earn
your bread while you improve the
odds and ends of time and study.
When you get something ahead, use
it to support yourself while you
learn. Ten thousand men are now
serving their generation with use
fulness aud honor who never asked
anybody to grind az ak for them. }"
This is very sensible advice. The
young men of this country, as a rule,
are helped altogether too much. II
they have the right stuff in them
they can get the education they need
without begging or borrowing.

Worry.

If you find yourself disposed to
give way to that mind-weakening,
happiness-destroying disease OF wor-
ry, try to recuperate your nervous
system. Go to bed and sleep your
imaginary troubles away. If you
can not sleep, it is sign that your
blood is sluggish; your nervous
system is used up; your muscular
system has had little or no employ
ment. Then do something to tire
muscles. and start the blood. Do
not fall into the delusive snare of
"gentle exercise :" that is admissible
only to invalids. Whatsoever you
do, do it with all your might. Take
a tramp on the hills; saw wood
ride horseback; give fifteen min
utes to an Indian club or pair of
not too heavy dumb-bells run, Jump,
anything to exert your body and
stop the exertion of your mind, TO
set your muscles into exercise and
give your nerves rest. Get into a
glow and q Precipitation, and make
yourself thoroughly and heslthily
tired. Then take a bath, get on
clean clothes, eat a light meal with
a good appetite and go to bed; and
ten chances to one, you will go to
sleep and wake in the morning
cheerful and hopeful, prepared to
laugh at your former melancholy.

Skilful LOck-Picking.

In the window of Messrs. Bramah's
shop in Piccadilly, London, had been
hanging for nearly half century pad
lock OF their ordinary make, to which
was appended painted board, offering
a reward of two hundred guineas to any
one who would succeed in making an in
strument that would pick or open it.
The exact size of this memorable lock
was as follows: Width, four inches;
thickness, one and a quarter inch; over
the boss, two and three quarter inches.
The cylinder was two and quarter in
ches in length by one and a half inch in
diameter Negotiations were opened in
proper form, and an agreement was
drawn up, binding both parties to the
following conditions: The lock was to
be enclosed between two pieces of wood.
and secured to wall In such a position
that only the keyhole and the hasp were
accessible. The true key was to be
sealed up, and not used until Mr.. Hobbs
had either picked the lock or abandoned
his enterprise. An iron band. sealed by
himself, was to cover the keyhole when
he was not at work. Thirty days were
allotted him for the performance of his
task, and three gentlemen of eminence
in the scientific world-viz., Mr.. George
Rennie, Professor Cowper, and DR..
Black-were appointed to act as arbi-
traitors between the parties. All these
preliminaries being adjusted, the lock
was removed from the window to an
upper room of the establishment, and
Mr.. Hobbs commenced his operations
on July Oath. Some little misunder-
standing as to the terms of the agree
ment, which rendered necessary an ap-
peal to the arbitrators, caused suspen-
sion of the work lor some days; but on
August Odd Mr.. Hobbs showed the lock
with the hasp raised, and shot the bolt
backwards and forwards in the presence
of DIR. Black and Professor Cowper.
The true key, being afterwards applied,
was found to work as usual, which prov.
ed that the works had not been injured
and the lock had been truly picked. The
time actually occupied was spread over
sixteen days, and Mr.. Hobbs was in the
room with the lock exactly ffty-one

A Brahmin Who Moves Materials by
Will

DIR. PEBBLES, who was formerly Consul
at Trebizond, tells the following, which
excels the powers of the average Spirit
ualist
The old man said :" Ii you Will take
your seats will say my prayers then l
think 1 shall have power to move any
object in this room. i" He prayed most
devoutly. 1 saw on the table a manu-
script book over on the corner we've
some peacock plumes or feathers. He
went through with his prayers, and
burned incense. He then prayed again.
"Now," said the old man, " have the
power to moveby mywill. Hyouplease to
call it, 1 will command anything III this
room to move" 1 said, "Will you please
to move that book on the stand, COM
mand that book y and he pointed to it,
and said, Come this way" and the book
trembled, fell to the floor, and slipped
along the floor to his feet. He told the
feathers to come out of the case. They
leaped around the room. was aston
ished. L was surprised. l said, "Tell
me how you do this" He said, "You,
an enlightened man, ask poor Brahmin
heather how he does this. 1 believe in
Brahm, the one living and true God, as
you say and Brahm is powerful. He
moves all material things, and just 80
far become Brahm-like or God-like,
just so far as 1 control my passions, sub
due my earthly nature and live in the di-
vine, in the same ratio do Ihave power to
move anything within range of my voice
or my radiations. And SO, said he, "by
prayer, by the holy life, l have obtained
this divine power from Brahm." And
then he told me how he lived about his
bathing, about his food, about his pray
ers, a most devout life. Before rose to
go, L said to him that in our country we
ate considerable animal food. He re-
piled, "Ihave soheard." He said fnrther-
more, 81 have heard thatin your country
you actually eat swine's flesh. Is it SOP"
told him eyes, we ate swine" Said he,
" As the lobster is the scavenger of the
sea, swine are the scavengers of the earth.
They eat the flthiest food, they are I'M
healthy and full of scrofula, forbidden
by the Vedas. And l have heard you
actually kill these hogs, and bury them
and eat them when they have been six
months dead Good day." said he, and

me.

Wire Goggles for Snow Blindness.

A companion of Schwatka informs us
that goggles of wire gauze without glass
are effectual against snow blindness, and
that they were largely used by the
Franklin expedition, many of them hav-
ing been found among the relics at bur-
ial places of the victims, and at other
points in the Attic regions where re-
mains are found supposed to belong to
that unfortunate party. The glasses
sometimes used, OF various hues, become
so logged by the moisture from the
breath of the wearer as to completely
obstruct the vision, and they cannot be
used in hunting. Snow blindness in the
northern ATTITUDES is q severe malady.
The inner coat of the eyelids becomes
infamed, accompanied with impairment
of vision and intense pain, requiring
sometimes several days within doors for
its cure. Nearsighted people are said

POtatOe Cultivation.

The potatoe was discussed at a meet
ing of the Central New York Farmers
Club. The facts developed in the ex-
perience of farmers present were that
though soil and season unques-
tionably have much to do with
the flavor of potatoes, the late potatoes
retain their flavor over winter and into
spring better than early sorts. Profess
sor Roberts found that under the same
conditions, small potatoes for seed gave
the poorest result, the middle part of
large potatoes next, the seed potatoes
next, and the seed end the best. A
whole large potato with a single eye is
the best possible seed. More work is
needed, but better crop secured by
cultivating in rows or drilling, rather
than In hills.

Scoville, Guiteaus counsel, statedin
the Washington Criminal Court that he would
not raise the question of the jurisdiction of the
court, and Judge Cox postponed the trial until

the point of jurisdiction in order that he may
raise it hereafter, in case of Guiteaus convic-
ton. He thinks if, after the trial it is decided
that the court had no jurisdiction Guiteau cam
not again be tried for the offense, and may
thus escape the punishment of his crime.
