The searoity Of a0oa w0rkingmen.

What can be done by any system Of ap-
prenticeship in country where it IS the
fashion for boys Of any wits to look down
on the mechanic arts and to seek for some
short cut in the road TO fortune2 Boys gen
orally graduate from the public schools
when fifteen or sixteen years of age. If
they cannot go to college, but must do
something toward supporting themselves,
they almost always prefer to enter a store
or Office where they have long hours, small
pay, more or less abuse and very little chance
Of learning anything. To know any bust
ness perfectly is to have fortune within
reach; but instead Of becoming a thorough
carpenter, mason or plumber, as any boy
of ordinary sense can do, our boys prefer
to take their chances in eallings where the
terms of apprenticeship Is necessarily about
twenty years instead Of four or Ave, and
when they are almost forced to copy the
dress and habits of their supeFiors, although
their pay is utterly inadequate to the de-
mands made upon it. While they are only
boys their life is not intolerable, but no
sooner do they become men and want 10
marry than they realize their utter lack Of
means and prospects. From that time
forth they are either disheartened and mis-
anthropic or tricky and untrustwQFthy.
A competent and honest young mason or
carpenter can, with very little capital
money that he can have saved during his
apprenticeship begin business on his own
account; but the lawyers clerk or the store
boy can do nothing but stay where he is
and curse what he calls his luck. There
never was a time in which penniless but
ambitious American boy had brighter
prospects than now but he must seek
them in work, not in some position where
he can merely keep up an appearance
without the slightest chance Of ever doing
more-Nesc York Herald

A Historic Carriage.

One of the principal objects of interest
at the approaching coronation of the car
win be the carriage of the czarina, which
is the same that was presented by Freder-
lex the Great to the Empress Elizabeth.
1t is a sort of double throne upon wheels,
and is hung, not upon springs, but upon
huge bands of velvet. Within, it is uphol-
stored with red velvet, and has large mir
ror in front, facing the occupant, framed
with white satin. The coachmans seat
accommodates four persons, 1t is drawn
by eight horses of the purest white, wear
ing harness of crimson velvet encrusted
with gold and precious stones The cost
of furnishing up the twenty-three vehicles
of which the cortege is to consist has
amounted to 100000 rubes.

Thousands of carols have rung through the vale,
Still doth the song of the bird never fail.
Are you not weary of singing so long9
Jubflant songsters, oh cease from your song.

The Sultan's Mamma.

The Sultana Valdez is at the bottom
of every scheme, and dominates her
sovereign son to such an extent that
every pacha courts her favor. A great
scandal and an amusing scene took
place when the empress Eugene Wis
tied Constantinople few years back.
Being anxious to recognize all the
kindnesses and attention paid to her,
her Majesty at farewell interview
actually kissed the Valdez on the
cheek looking at her in the light of a
sister sovereign. The Queen Mother
was much excited, and few into tow
ering passion. Here was a direct in
salt from Giaour.
She took to her bed, and refused
food for four-and.tweDty hours, and
had several baths before she could
consider herself purged of this enor
nifty, this terrible stain land this old
bigot, probably herself born of q slave,
thought herself too good, forsooth to
be saluted by the beautiful Eugene,
consort of one of the most powerful
Emperors of the Continent of Europe.

stroyed the wheat crop of that country.
In consequence the price of wheat has
advanced enormously, and new
market has been opened for the Amer

wheat is quoted in different points in
Spain. the information having been
telegraphed from Madrid by the Min

range from So so TO 81 per fanega

How an Empty Stomach Saved
Lille.

No regiment from New Hampshire
suffered more in action than the
Twelfth, and a narrower squeak for
life than that of Captain-but better
known as Elder-Durgin, is not often
recorded. In one of the many en-
gagements that the Twelfth partici
pated in he was struck by bullet
which literally bored hole through
him just above the stomach. He fell
among heap of killed and wounded
and was left for dead on the field. A
column of the enemy advancing with
a quick step moved directly over the
ground, and as they were marching
b. he was barely able TO make a mo-
ton sufficient to attract the attention
of a Confederate Captain, who stopped,
looked at him pityingly, and said !:
Poor fellow, you are booked through.
L can't help you, but I'll at least put
you out of the way of further harm"
So, suiting the action to the words,
he took him tenderly in his arms, ear
ried him some distance to one side
placed HIM in sitting posture with
his back against tree This saved his
life, as he was shortly afterward found
treated for his wound, and ultimately
recovered. The surgeon said that had
he had his breakfast that morning he
would assuredly have been killed.
Thirty-six hours abstinence, being
short of rations, had contracted the
stomach and saved his life. So the
Elder lives and is the life of the an
nual raunioDs
