BOYS RIGHTS


I wonder now if anyone
In this broad land has heard
In favor of down trodden boys
One solitary word ?
We hear enough Of "Woman's rignts'
And "rights of working men,.
OF "equal rights and nations rlghts,
But pray Just tell US when
Bows rights were ever spoken OF
WHY we've become so used
To being snubbed by every one,
And sighted and abused,
That when one is polite to US,
We open wide our eyes,
And stretch them in astonishrnent
To nearly twice their size!
Bows seldom dare to ask their friends
To venture in the house;
It don't come natural at all
To creep round like mouse,
And if we should forget ourselves
And make little noise,
Then ma or aUntie sure woulC say,
"Oh, my those dreadful boys"
The girls bang on the piano
In peace, but if the boys
Attempt tune with fife and orum,
It's "stop that horrid noise r.
"That horrid noise," just think OF 1t;
When sister never fails
To make noise three times as BAD
With everlasting "scales."
Insulted thus, we lose no time
In beating retreat;
So off we 60 to romp and tear,
And scamper in the street.
No wonder that so many boys
Such wicked men become.
'Twere better far to let them have
Their games and plays at home.
Perhaps that text the teacher quotes
-"Train up child'-
Means only train the little girls,
And let the boys run wild.
But patience, and the time shall come
When we will all be men,
And when it does, I rather think
Wrongs will be righted then.

It's that which has pulled her back so badly,

going to die and for that very reason it
will be difficult to cure her. But she may yet
be cured, if you will only cooperate with me.
I count great deal upon your assistance.

me how"
"Well, persuade her to take little exercise.
She is quite equal to it, though she believes the
contrary. Don't confne your reading to re-
ligious subjects alone. Try something else, Of
a sober sort if you will, but still with touch
of life and variety about it 3; travels are very
good resource. And above although, being
such good daughter, need nottell you this

entertain, except such as are contrary to my
prescriptions. She is very weak, and needs

surprised.

CHAPTER IX.

Mr.. Erskine felt that he had not gained
much by his disclosure, except, indeed, the
consciousness that his secret was known, and
not disapproved of, by at least one friend. He
did not see Mrs. May again, after this first
visit. for considerable time. Sophy he saw
daily, but she was generally silent, and always
sad, and it did not seem possible to do anything
to cheer her.
Not word had as yet passed between them
in regard to poor Harry's fate, until one even
ing, nearly six weeks after MI. Erskine's re-
turn, when they were sitting together in the
parlor, Mrs. May having gone early to bed.
There had been long silence. Sophy, sit
ting in the listless attitude which had become
habitual to her. gazing with far-away look
into the fire, and Mr.. Erskine, from the oppo'
site side of the fireplace, intently watching
her face, with Heaven knows what vain hopes
and fancies crowding his brain. At last with
long sigh she reused herself from her alb
straction, and spoke.
''Mr. Erskine," she said, "don't you think
that trouble makes people grow old very fast p
''It is apt to make one feel so at any rate,

Hats Off!
A Startling and Audacious Attack on
Bulwarks OF Great Britain.
london Letter.

LONDON Letter.
The hat in the house Of commons is likely in
time to come to be dated back from the week
that has just passed. Mr.. John Bright's hat
has become famous in the house Of commons
You may possibly be aware that in that house
it is customary for members to remain covered
except on certain occasions. When they speak
before the speaker they must take their hats
off; they retain them when the chairman OF
committee is presiding. They take them off
whenever the speaker enters the house, and
only resume them whom tho door is passed.
They must take them off for prayers They
must uncover whenever royal message bear
ing thessign manual Of the sovereign is brought
up, but they may keep them on whom any 9TH
er royal message is deliverd. Altogether, it is
most intricate question when to wear and
when to dof the hat. One ought to be drilled
in it for week or so before taking part in the
business of the house. And even then he
might blunder, as Mr.. Bright did last Monday
night The house had only just begun busi-
ness, when Mr.. Gladstone was seen standing at
the table before the speaker with paper in his
hand. Directly he announced that he had
message from the Queen about Prince Leopold,
all the members except Mr. Bright and anoth-
or Birmingham man, Mr.. Jesse Ceilings, M.
took off their hats. Mr.. Bright appeared to be
in the land of dreams, and paid no attention to
the cries of "Hats Off, which arose from all
parts of the house. The message was read,
when up jumped conservative member to de-
mand what Mr.. Bright meant by keeping his
hat on. The speaker ruled that Bright was
out of order. But more was to come When
next day the minutes OF the house appeared, it
was seen that the report ran: "The message
wasread, all being uncovered" This again
was brought before the house. and the speaker
ruled that Bright ought to have taken his hat
off. But, strange to relate, when presently an
other royal message was brought in, though it
bore the sign manual. not only did Bright, but
several other radicals, keep their hats on So
that now it would appear that the hat question
was raised purposely, and that in future the
radicals Of parliament don't intend to pay an
cient reverence to royalty. Many strange
things have come of hats. Can it be that the
retention of Mr. Bright's broad brim is the sig
nal of change in the attitude of a large sec
tion OF English politicians toward the throne?

who had migrated from eastern Canada to
Manitoba, with the intention of settling
there, have moved thence into Dakota. The

THE Meridian, Miss, Mercury has cool
and candid way of accounting for certain
election results. In its latest issue it says:
"There are only 28 white voters in the pre-
cinct in which Mr.. Wisinger was murdered,
but they are mighty white. They roll up a
Democratic majority of about 300 to 500 ev-
cry time, and none of 'em aspirants for
Office either. Nothing but bold front has
kept off riot there more than once" That
hints strongly enough of the shot gun and
intidimation.

ONE Of the most encouraging of the facts
brought to light in Mr.. Gladstone's budget
Is that the falling off in the revenue derived
from alcoholic drinks, which is considerable,
does not this year indicate, as it has previ-
ously done, diminished income on the part
of the laboring classes. 1t has hitherto been
one of the discreditable features of British
finance, that in good times the increase of
revenue was derived largely from increased
consumption of beer and spirits by the
workingmen and women; while, on the 9TH
er hand, in bad times a decline in the con-
sumption of alcohol was usually accompa-
MED by other evidences of poverty, such as
diminished deposits in the savings banks.
This year, however, decrease of revenue
from alcohol has been accompanied by an in
crease of deposits.

THE present employees of an establishment
in Cincinnati, which has lately been afflicted
by strike, have passed the following reso-
luton, which deals a blow at one great cause
of the labor disturbances in the United
States. That there will be genuine differ
ences between employers and employed is
not unreasonable, but careful analysis of
these eruptions discloses the fact that the
agitator is responsible for much of the
suffering on one side and loss on the other.
The mills at Cohoes, N. Y, where the latest
factory strike occurred, provided about 5000
persons with the means of livelihood, and
their enforced idleness means suffering to
all and destitution to many. And nothing
but loss will come to the employers who
adopted what they could not avoid, the
choice between great loss by acceding to
the demands of their work people or lesser
one by allowing their mills to lie idle. The
Joss to the community by the strike is enor-
nous. The resolution is:
Resolved. That, while We are heart and soul
in sympathy with those who, like ourselves,
belong to the great army of labor, we have no
use whatever for professional agitators and
chronic soreheads, who are always hindrances
to the cause and real interests of workingmen;
and we hope the day will soon come when la
bor organizations everywhere will treat these
barnacles as they deserve-scrape them off.

\ chemical lung" is the latest thing
proposed tor the ventilation OF tunnels.
It We lately tested in London by four
teen scientists. A room 15x1S feet was
kept an hour at a temperature of $40
and the air was loaded with impurities.
The men of science were now called
to enter, and the air was made still
more impure by burning sulphur and
carbolic acid gas. Then the chemical
lung" or. punkah, SC called, measuring
Axe! feet, was set in motion. The
temperature was soon reduced to Csc
and the air freed from all impurities.
Then fat was burned, to test the ma.
chine for organic substances, and the
''lung" was started up just in time to
prevent the examining gentlemen from
running out for fresh air. 1t is pro-
posed to use the invention during the
construction of the Channel tunnel.
