What a Boy Will Do.

An exchange says boy will tramp PAT
miles in one day on rabbit hunt and be
timber in the evening; when, if you ask
him to go across the street and borrow
Jones's two-inch auger, he will be as
stiff as meat block. OF course he
will. And he will go swimming all
day and stay in the water three hours
at tiL1e, and splash and dive and pad
die and puff, and next morning he will
feel that an unmeasured insult has been
offered him when he is told by his meth
er to wash his face carefully so as not
TO leave the score of the ebb and flow SO
plain to be seen under the gills. And
he'll wander around dry creek bed all
the afternoon piling up a pebble fort,
and nearly die of when his big sister
wants him to please pick up basket of
chips for the parlor stove. And he'll
spend the biggest part of the day trying
to corner stray mule or bald-backed
horse for ride, and feel that all life's-
charms have fed when 1t comes time to
drive the cows home. And he'll turn a
ten acre lot upside down for ten inches
Of angle worms, and wish for the voice
less tomb when the garden demands his
attention. Butall the same. when you
want friend who will stand by you
and sympathize with you in all kinds of
weather, enlist one of those same boys.

Cure for Asthma.

A lady whose husband has suffered
very acutsly from asthma, and had tried
many methods of relief, without advan-
tage, sends the following: Zone very hot
day when the thermometer stood at one
hundred and six degrees my husband
took severe cold, and asthma trouble
commenced. A gentlsman sent him
word that an old man Of his acquaint-
ance had been cured by sleeping on a
pillow made of wild balsam, or, as the
Massachusetts, people call it, life ever
lasting it grows wild in most places
in the country, and is very sweet, and
considered by some an sxcsllent thing
for cold-made into tea. of course.
We hadn't a particle of faith, but, as
some grew close by, sent and got it, and,
as it was not dry enough for a pillow,
put it on the floor in his bedroom. That
night my husband didn't have tue asth-
ma, nor has he had it since. We don't
expect it will last, bnt we don't know.
We are gathering more. We are going
to give it thorough trial. 1t has work
ed miracle so far, for it IS now week
since he has had the asthma"

Literature for Bows.

The old-fashioned stories which the
unhappy BOYS of the last generation read
have been succeeded by the manly and
fascinating novel. In the old story
books it was assumed that truthfulness,
honesty, and obedience to parents were
virtues, and that the Christian religion
was not wholly devoid of merit. If
these views were not directly taught in
the juvenile literature of our fathers, at
all events they we're never directly or
indirectly attacked. Boys could learn
nothing from their story-books except
prepesterous Misunderstanding that
was of any practical use, or that tended
to develop in them manly and brilliant
traits. No such complaint can be made
of the dime and half-dime novels of the
criminal school which are now read by
all our boys, either openly or secretly.
In these delightful stories new forms OF
profanity and slang are taught in the
most effective way. The pleasures of
burglary and highway robbery, the man.
illness of gambling and fighting, and the
heroism of successful lying. are set forth
in what is regarded by youthful readers
as glowing eloQuence; while the great
truths that all parents are tyrants, that
all religious people are hvpocrites, and
that disobedlence to fathers and teach
ers is obedience to the nobler instincts
of juvenile nature, ARE 5edulously taught.
Such stories as these develop all that is
manly and lawless in our boys. and teach
them lessons that can not fail to be OF
immense service to them in whatever
criminal career they may adopt.
There are few old-fashioned people
who denounce the new juvenile liteIa-
ture in unsparing terms; but that nearly
all fathers approve of it is self-eYident
They know that their boys are reading
novels illustrative of the excellence of
crime, but they make no effort to sup
press that sort of literature. as they GER
tainly would do did they disapprove of
it. Nothing would be simpler than to
drive those novels out of existence. All
that it would be necessary to do would
be to Boycott" the news-dealers who
keep them for sale. The truth evidently
is that fathers either do not care what
their boys read, or that they have no
fault to find with Jack Harkaway and
the Boy Burglars. 1t can not be that
respectable gentlemen who dislike crime
profanity, and vulgarity wilfully refuse
to know what their boys are reading, or
weakly hope that by some happy chance
their reading will do them no harm

The Journalist.

The journalist knows all the news.
Therefore he is said to have nose for
news.
He is man of parts-part modesty
and part truthfulness. He has great
regard for the truth, and approaches it
only with diffidence and awe.
His modesty is so great that when he
secures an exclusive article of news he
never brags about it-until after it is
in print.
The prime article in the journalists
creed is that it is not right to get left;
and many prime article he gets in con-
sequence.
The journalist is a reflector of the
times, but has little time for reflection,
nevertheless.
The life of the journalist is one con-
tinual round of pleasure. 1t is made up
of theater-going. banQueting and walk
ing about the streets. Any fool can be-
come a journalist, but it is not becom-
ing a journalist to be feOl.
Everybody pays court to the journal
ist-every body who wants to get his
name in the paper. And that is all most
bodies feel called upon to pay.
He is not required to have ideas. Ev-
erybody is willing to supply him with
all he needs and more.
The journalist does not have to work
very hard. He is scarcely ever busy
more than twenty-six hours out of twen-
ty-four. The rest Of the time he can
give to sleep or to work.
There is said to be honor among
thieves; but the journalist is not thief.
The journalist is always ready and will
ing to help his fellow, when he cannot
get ahead of him.
He never tells falsehood, though he
will lie all day for bit of news.
When he sees wrong, he writes it at
once.
The journalist is the man of the age
-mucilage.
The journalist handles the Arehime-
an lever that moves the world. Archi-
medes had no foundation to rest his le-
yer upon, and much that the journalist
writes has the same airy basis.
It is a mistake, however, to suppose
that the journalist makes the news. The
news makes him.
The brightest journalists, it is said,
are graduates of the case; but this is
denied by those who never worked at
the case. Therefore let US rest our case
here.
Children, if you would be good and
great; if you would be respected of all
men; if you would get your food, raj
ment, amusements, travelling expenses,
ETC., gratis If you would live an active
and useful life and escape the dangers
inherent to riches, be jonrnalist.-Bos-

Setting Type.
Cincinnati Saturday Night

Cincinnati Saturday Night
A mistaken idea obtained with US the
other day, viz, that We could set type.
We had seen it done almost daily for
wears, and if we could not do 1t ourself,
we feel that we would like to know the
reason why.
Selecting time when the eye Of man
was remote from our composing room,
we armed ourselves with a stick, pre-
paratcry 10 a composition that should
produce a clean proof and open our fore
mans eyes. We couldn't help chuckling
AS we thought how astonished he would
be. We felt so business like and capable,
as we thus meditated, stick in hand,
that We caught ourselt contemplating
the advisability of diseharging the prin-
ters and doing our own type-setting.
Why notP We could set, say SO much
every day, and six times that would be
however, We would think of that later,
and now to business; we would just
throw a half column Of paragraphs to
sether to show what we could do.
Why it was we don't know, but we
must have got to thinking about some
thing, at any rate we had only succeed
ed in getting four line idea up when
we were interrupted by the return OF
the boys from dinner; four lines in one
hour, that knocked our calculation cat
west, and we temporarily abandoned the
idea of discharging the typos.
When the proofs were handed to us,
we locked ourselves in from the cold
world and hunted out our maiden effort
in type-setting.
We found 1t, and then we knew how
different everything seems when man
finds out that he doesn't know what he
has been talking about; then we appre-
ciated the fact that our devil could have
stood on his head in front of the case
and picked out a better job of work
with his toes. Since then we have been
more lenient with our compositors.
When we find a comma turned upside
down we refrain from threatening to
discharge every man in the Office, and
when our foreman comes to US for ad-
vice we find ourself meekly requesting
him to do whatever he deems best.
Our proud spirit is broken, and this is
what busted it:

ELEPHANTS are very fond of babies
and dogs. A keeper in a certain menag
erie now in this country trusts his little
son-who is just two years old-vith the
huge animals, knowing that they will
not harm the child. The little toddler
is fondled and caressed by the huge,
clumsy creatures, who wind their trunks
around him in most affsctionate man
ner. A pet dog that belonged to the
menagerie was recently run over by a
wagon and killed. The dog had been
the particular pet Of one Of sthe ele-
hpants named "Queen." She missed the
dog "Spot," and gave signs of great dis
tress. She kept looking round and
round, and when night came she was
very unhappy. A dog that looked some
what like "SpoL" was then taken to
Queen, but she refused to have any,
thing to do with the new pet. 1t was
several days before Queen" could get
over her grief.

The Editor and the Smallpox Doctor.

1t was nearly noon, and the city editor
in his sanctum was putting the finishing
touches to the assignment book, while
the waiting scribes in the Inter-Ocean
local room were grimly pondeling as to
what choice bits of work would fall to
them when the customary "Book ready,
gentlemen" sheuld be heard
The city editor had just decided that
the church reporter needed a little re-
taxation, and booked him for dog fight
when, in response to rap on the door.
he calculated in his blandest tones,
Come"
The knocker came, and proved to be a
colored gentleman Of affable manners
and the medical persuasion. Said he
How do?" and the greeting being re-
turned, he resumed:
you see, haven't been around lately
been busy; little matter in the paper l
was going to ask you to say something
about for me; would have been up be-
fore, but been too busy; so much small
pox about; I've been nursing one man
with smallpox for eight days, and only
just run away now to"
"W-h-a-t? Get out. You don't-want to
see me. It's a man outside. Here, hi"
And the city editor hollered for the
contagious diseases editor and rinderpest
reporter. This member of the staff, who
draws princely salary for doing balloon
excursions in the summer and epidemics
in the winter, was absent, however, hav-
ing stepped out to buy sealskin over
coat.
The doctor continued:
"Never mind, it's short; don't trouble !;
only an item. Bad case? Yes, as was
saying, eight days"
''Get outp'
Afraid Of smallpox? There's no
danger. After eight days"
"Get outl Write letter to the paper,
and we'll print it'll Get outw
The request to get out was here ac-
companied by demonstrations, and he
got. That is, the caller got as far as the
passage, where he was told through the
keyhole to communicate by postal card,
which card can be soaked in vinegar
first, and then read with telescope from
the top of the shot tower.-TChicago In

POETRY.
Our Daily Reckoning.

II you sit down at set of sun
And count the acts that you have done'
And counting, fnd,
One self-denying act, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard
One glance most kind,
That fell like sunshine where 1t went,
Then you may count that day well spent
But, if through all the hvelong day
You've chesred no heart by yea or nay
If, through it all,
You've nothing done that you can trace
That brought the sunshine TO one Iace'
No act most small,
That helped some soul and nothing cost
Then count that day as worse than lost
