Healthy hints to Students.

Health Notes for Students" is O
neat little pocket pamphlet, condensed
by Prof. Burt G.. Wilder from his course
Of six lectures on hygiene, delivered at
Cornell University. It embodies many
useful suggestions respecting choice Of
room, food, clothing, ventilation, time
and method of study, sleep, exercise,
bathing, care of the eyes, and stimu-
lants. he advises students to make
breakfast their principal meal, not be-
cause the forenoon is usually longer and
more fully occupied than the afternoon.
but because hearty midday dinner is
apt to inoapacitate one for both mental
and bodily work during large part of
the afternoon. He thinks that break
fast should always include oatmeal
mush, Oh cracked wheat, with plenty Of
milk; and that in place of meat, at least
for an occasional change, two or three
eggs are desirable.

A pretty story ts tQld Of the late
CHarina, who, as II well known, was q
most faithful wife, in spite Of the long
continued harsh treatment and neglect
OF the Gear, and wise and devoted
mother. Although strict observer of
the rules OF the Greek Church, she al
ways opposed the tendency to substitute
forms and ascetic ceremonies in religion.
In place Of true feeling and domestic
everyday duty.
While visiting the Smolnoje Institute
for girls, some years ago, the Empress,
during the examination of the pupils,
suddenly asked, "Whet is loveP"
The young ladies blushed as though
an improper question had been proposed,
became greatly confused, and were silent.
Madame Leontieff, the directress, kneel-
ing, begged leave to state to Her Majesty
that all knowledge Of this dangerous suh ..
1ecS was prohibited by her, and that, in
all probability, the pupils did not even
know the meaning of the word.
The Czarina frowned. $50 far from
being dangerous subject, madame" she
said, Glove should be the pure main
spring of woman's life; first, love for
her parents then, love for her husband
lastly, love for her children and love for
God always. II your pupils hove not
this, they are badly prepared for the du-
ties of life."
The Empress left the Institute, and
the next day, Madame Leontieff was re-
moved as incompetent by the Imperial
Ministry Of Education.
In American society, the mention Of
love is too often received by young girls
with blush and giggle, which betray
the narrow and vulgar meaning which
they attach to the word. It is to them
simply Irritation with some young man,
which may or may not end in o mar
riage
1t is the fault Of their mothers if they
ere not taught to know and respect that
divine quality of devotion and self-sacri-
fice, which alone can ennoble woman's
life, and which, whether it is given to
parent, child, or lover, makes her more
akin to her Master. ,s,s
If we were asked for typical picture
of love in the present time, we should
choose, not pretty little girl sitting by
q moustached youth in the moonlight,
but Mary Diller standing by her old
helpless father on the burning deck of the
SeaaDanhGka, the flames wrapping her
like garment, and burning her eyes

Early Rising.

A. German physician of celebrity has
lately been investigating the subject of
early rising, and has come to the con-
elusion that, far from making O man
healthy, wealthy and wise" it has
quite the contrary effect, and shortens
life instead of prolonginp It. In the
majority of cases which he has inves-
tigated, the long-livers have indulged in
late hours, and at least eight out Of
every ten persons who attained the age
OF 30 and upward were in the habit Of
not retiring to rest until the small hours,
and remaining in bed until the day was
far advanced. He has no doubt what.
ever that early rising is a most perni-
clous habit for those who go to bed late.
and, like Charles Lamb, tRinks it bette1
and, like Charles Lamb, thinks it better
for everybody to delay getting up until

Mills for NYarhlha.

Almost all the marbles with which
boys everywhere amuse themselves, in
season and out of season, on sidewalks
and In shady spots, are made at Ober-
stein, Germany. There arc large agate
quarries and mills in that neighborhood,
and the refuse is turned to good account
in providing Che small stone balls for
experts to ''knuokle" with. The stone
iS broken into small cubes, by blows of
q light hammer. These small blocks of
stone arc thrown by the shovelful into
the hopper Of small mill, formed of Q
bedstono, having It's surface grooved
with concentrate furrows. Above this
is the "xunner," which is Of some hard
wood, having level face on it's lower
surface. The upper block is made to
revolve rapidly, water being delivered
upon the grooves Of the bedstone whore
the marbles are being rounded. Ittakes
about fifteen minutes to finish half q
bushel Of good marbles, ready for the
boys knuckles. One mill Will turn out
10000 marbles per week. The very
hardest "crackerB," ss the boys cali
them, are made by o slower process,
somewhat analogous to the other.
