The Law OF Wills.

d
Some very badly drawn wills stand
the test of litigation, and others well
drawn are easily broken. Neither
bad grammar nor misspelling in the
body Of a will vitiates IL. If the
judges can understand what the pa
per means, they will order that to be
done. Wills having nearly every
important word misspelled, and near
ly destitute of punctuation, have
been accepted. Maine papers say
that court has lately taken proof of
a will made in pantomine by man
who was deaf and dumb, and who
could neither write nor use the man
ual alphabet. But mistakes which
obscure the meaning make trouble.
1t is stated that Mr.. Matthew Vas
sar, when drawing his will, meant
to leave $1,000 to seven churches
that is, $1,000 apiece; but in copying
his rough draft he inadvertently in
serted the word "each," thus giving
the churches $1,000 each, or $4,000
in all. The general rule as to mis-.
takes is, that if the will is lucid and
ineligible, and can be carried into
effect as it reads this must be done.
The language cannot be altered be-
cause witnesses say that the testator
meant something different from that
which was written. But if what is
written cannot be performed, the
courts will take proof of what the
testator meant to write.

Treatment Of Boys.

who has a clubfoot, don't let him
know you ever saw it. If there is a
poor boy with ragged clothes, don't
talk about rags in his hearing. II
there is a lame boy, assign him some
part in the game that doesn't require
running. If there is a hungry one,
give him some part Of your dinner.
If there is dull one, help him learn
his lessons. If there is a bright one,

is proud Of his talents and another is

wrongs, and no more talent than be.
fore. If larger or a stronger boy
has injured you and is sorry for it,
forgive him. All the school will
show by their countenances how
much better it is than TO have a
great fuss"
A philosopher has said that the
true education for boys is to "teach
them what they ought to know when
they become men," What is it they
ought to know, then? First-to be
true-to be genuine. No education
is worth anything that does not in.

know how to read-he had better
never learn a letter in the alphabet,
and be true and genuine in inten.
tion, in action, rather than being
learned in all sciences and langua-
ges, to be at the same time false in
heart and counterfeit in life. Above
all things teach the boy that truth
is more than riches, more than cul.
ture, more than earthly power or po-

DR.. Adaline S. Whitney has re-
Gently delivered a lecture before the
young lady students at Vassar Col:
lege which contained much whole
some advice and many valuable sug-
gestions for her sex. She assigned
many very good reasons for the want
of healthy women, and avowed at
the beginning that the lack ofstrong,
healthy women among American
people is strikingly noticeable. She
alleged that much of the constitu-
tional weakness is inherited, but de-
clarCs it is in the power of the major
ity Of young girls to make them
selves, physically what they will
Give TO The muscles as scientific and
thorough training as mathematics
give to the brain, and there will be
a corresponding increase III physical
capacity.
Life in the open air is of first i'm
portance. Vigorous and absorbing
games, too, should be encouraged
among girls. Mental and physical
culture should be as inscparable as
mind and body.
The principle causes which destroy
health are neglect Of proper,physical
exercises eli. and recreation during youth
-women's incomplete, one.sided
methods Of education-a want of
steady employment, and petty forms
of indiscretion in regard to hygene
on the part of young wopen them.
selves. tf
Dr., Whitney contends that q radi;.
cal change will come, when popular
sentiment requires that girls shall
grow up strong and well developed.
Tight clothing, she urges, should be.
discarded, that the exercise of the Or
gans Of motion may not be impeded.,
There should be in every school. "a.

the direction of qualified TEACHER,
Daily muscular exercise will bring
better mental work, and there might
be physical as well as a mental
standard which girl must reach be-
fore entering college.
1t would be difficult, we think, to.
find any sensible person disposed to
dispute the Doctors assertions. They.
are palpably manifest every day, and
the number Of health women seem to
be growing less with each recurring
week. Can the decay be remedied2
The doctor says it can.

ease is one of the most horrible kind,

an object as hideous to behold as the

of dividing into fine and silky

SO that no relief can be obtained,

Character.

Many people seem to forget that
character grows; that it is not some
thing to put on ready-made with
womanhood or manhood; but day by
day, here little and there a little,
grows with the growth, and strength
ems with the strength, until, good or
bad, it becomes almost a coat of mail.
Look ct man Of business-prompt,
reliable, conscientious, yet clear
headed and energetic. When do you
suppose he developed all these ad-
mirable qualities? When he was a
boy. Let us see how a boy of ten
years gets up in the morning, works,
plays, studies, and we will tell you
just what kind of a man he will
make. The boy that is too late at
breakfast, late at school, stands a
poor chance to be a prompt man.
The boy who neglects his duties, be
they ever so small, and then excuses
himself by saying, ~ forgot; 1 didn't
thipkl" will bever be a reliable man;
and the boy who finds pleasure in
the suffering of weaker things will

About Elephants.

Thick as is an elephants skin. no

mosquitoes, leeches and other vermin
than he. The pores are very large, and
gadfiles, mosquitoes, etc., worm them
selves into the hollow and suck to reple-
ton. Thus the whole day long thew
are constantly throwing up dirt, squirt
ing saliva or water to get rid of these
pests, to the great annoyance of their
riders. They snore good deal when
asleep, and l have often seen them rest
ing their heads on an outstretched foot
when lying down. They are very human:
like in many of their ways, They get a
piece OF wood and use it as toothpick.
They scratch themselves with the tip of
their proboscis, and if they cannot reach
the place with that they take up branch
and use that. Natives say they plug up
