What Electricity Can Do.

1t is easy to loreSee that we are now en-
tering upon a time when electricity will
be introduced for useful service into al
most every home, even the humblest.
The electric is destined to be one of the
illuminants of the future. in one form or
another; and with the supply Of the cleo
trio current for lighting purposes through
out a town or village, will come a great
many other applications of it; to the driv-
ing of small motors for saving manual
labor, to the ringing of electric bells.
and the working of such devices as
fire and burglar alarms. There is.
indeed, no end to the things which
may be done by electricity, once it is
supplied to houses like gas or
water; for it is the most versatile of all
the forces, and can be employed at will
to generate heat, light, chemical decom-
position. and mechanical power. The
self-same current which lights our lamp
will boil our kettle. plate our spoons. and
drive our sewing-machine. twill tell us il
fire has broken out in any room, if frost
is too severe in the conservatory, if the
water, level is too low in the cistern. 1t
will regulate our clocks, call our servants
within the house, or bring assistance from
without; and it will guard US from the
nocturnal intrusion of any visitor who has
a fancy for our valuables. and no acquaint-
ance with the family.-Cdssers Family

The Planet Mars.

Professor Lockyer is of the opinion that
human life on the planet Mars may be
very much like human lite on the earth /;
the life cannot be so bright, but the or
gans of SIGHT may be so much more sus-
ceptible rs to make the vision quite as
good. The heat is probably less, as the
polar SHOWS certainly extend further. but by
no means less in proportion to the lessened
power of the solar rays. The professor
agrees with others. that several remark
able seas-including inland seas. some of
them connected and some not connected
by straits with still larger seas-are now
definably in the southern hemisphere.
in which. as is the case also with the earth
water seems to be much more widely
spread than in the northern hemisphere
There. is for example, a southern sea ex-
ceedingly like the Baltic in shape; and
there is another and still more remarkable
sea. now defined by the observations OF
many astronomers-one near the equator,
long strangling arm twisting almost in
the shape of an S laid on its back, from
east to west. at least 200 miles IN length
and 400 in breadth.

What Shall the Boys Do:

Parents are continually confronted with
this question. Many parents answer il
wrongly. The father desires that his sons
shall not undergo the toll and self-deDial
that he has undergone. forgetting. or per-
haps not realizing in any proper sense.
that it was that toll and that self denial
that made him the man he is. The mother
has her foolish notions about the respecta-
bility of certain grades Of employ ment
which enable those following them to
wear good clothes and exhibit few of
the superficial evidences OF refinement
and culture. The boy with his inexperi-
ence and inability to look below the sur
face of things, is easily led to follow the
well intended but foolish judgment Of his
parents and commences life by swelling
the list of book-keepers without a ledger.
doctors without patients. lawyers without
clients and genteel clerks without employ
ment.
The first thing the parent or teacher
should do is to study carefully the boys
aptitudes. Having done this he should be
taught that any Kind OF honest labor is
honorable and that what he could do best
should be his calling. no matter whether
it was 10 make shoes or carriages. to raise
cattle or to butcher them. Many boy
who might in time become a good farmer,
owning a farm and home OF his own, be-
comes an Indifferent hand to mouth sales
man in store at salary that will only
barely keep soul and body together and
provide no accumulations for sickness or
old age Many boy who. by learning
the machinist's trade coald some day be
at the head of a great mandatory re
mains in obscurity and poverty because
his parents thought the profession of book
he ,per would be more genteel.
A little study of the advertising columns
in great daily journal. or an inquiry
among the leading business men Of any
thriving town, would cause revelation
that should serve to deter parents from
making semi-dudes of their sons by crowd
ing the already over-crowded positions of
clerks and book-keepers with them. In
the city of New York there are atthe pres
ent time 5000 book keepers out of employ
ment and of the $4,000 which have more
or less steady employment in that calling
in that city very few receive over S25 per
week while a far greater number are glad
~ accept 80 or is. BUSINESS man a
this city lately advertised for a clerk at
$40 week and had seven hundred appli-
cations for the place. In view of these
facts the parents OF boys should urge them
to learn trades, to 60 into the shops or on
the firm. anywhere where honest work
is to be done, and to avoid as they would
the pestlence the semi-genteel callings.
which are so over-crowded that the ma
jority who are dependent on them have
no hope of more than the barest SUBJ
sistence while they remain in them
