BILL ME TALKS To YOUNG MEN.

Young man, what are you living for Have you an object dear to you as life, and without the attainment of which you feel that your life would have been wide, shoreless waste, peopled by the spectres of dead ambition? You can take your choice in the great battle of life, whether you bristle up and win deathless name, or be satisfied with scabs and mediocrity. Many of those who now stand at the head of the nation as statesmen and logicians were once unknown, unhonored and unsung Now they saw the air of the halls of con- gress, and their names are plastered on the temple of fame.
 You can win some laurels, too, if you will brace up and secure them when they are ripe. Live temperately on $9 month. That's the way we got our start. Get some true, noble-minded young lady of your ac- quaintance to assist you. Tell her of your troubles and she will tell you what to do. She will gladly advise you. Then you can marry her, and she will advise you some more. You needn't be out of advice at all unless you want to. She, too, will tell you when you have made mistake. She will come to you frankly and acknowl- edge that you have made jackass of yourself.
 AS sue SeiS moio acqualuteu WILL you she will be more candid with you, and in her unstudled, girlish way, she will point errors, and gradually convince you with an old chair leg and other arguments, that you were wrong, and your past life will come up before you like panorama, and she will let you up again. Life is indeed mighty struggle. It is business. We can't all be editors and lounge around all the ti.le, and wear good clothes, and have our names in the papers, and draw prince ly salaries. Some one must do the work and drudgery of life, or it won't be done.

It Is related of Thaddeus Stevens that shortly after his removal to Lancaster in 1842 he heard of the sad prostration of an old friend in York, a lawyer, who, pressed hard by necessity, had diverted to his own use $500 due to certain widow client, hoping soon to regain his financial footing and repay her. But 'unmerciful disaster followed fast and followed faster" until the poor fellows mental depression was actually killing him. Mr. Stevens hunted up the client, paid her from his own pock- ct the $500, obtained her receipt and went to see his friend ''Halloa old fellow" he exclaimed on entering his office; ''you must wake up. Don't be so down-hearted. Say, don't you suppose you've really gone and paid that woman and then forgotten all about it ?" A despairing shake of the bowed head was the only reply. "Well, I believe you did, and I'm going to look through your papers and see if I can't find the receipt" Then he pretended to ran sack some pigeon-holes, and 8 moment later exclaimed: "Wel', if you're not the biggest fool ever heard of! Look here, old man Whats this ?" So saying he showed the receipt to his astonished friend, who thereupon recovered his spir- its, and, happily, his business fortunes al- 80. Afterward he repaid MT. Stevens, and the latter was never able to find out how his generosity had been detected.

ERECTING PEOPLE.

It is hardly an extreme statement that one had better never have friend at all than to admit to any close relation one of exacting nature. The people who are per p tually posing as the madsa1aaderstood are enough to drive their friends-if not them selves-into candidacy for ''a lodge in some vast wilderness" or a Iunatic asylum. Life is too short to devote it to the s'ex- plantations" of which certain class of these super-sensitive people appear to stand in perpetual need. The only genu- inc basis of pleasant social relations is the generous trust that believes though it may not always comprehend If we admit an individual into that inner circle of relation that distinguishes the friend from the mere casual acquaintance, we should ell. dow such one with our confidence in a sufficient degree to believe that he will do what is right to the best of his knowledge and ability, though we may not be able to predicate details and know precisely just what that right may be. Having done this, let there be the repose of mutual trust, generous belief, largeness of faith. Do not be examining every act o1 rumored act of your friend under a mental microscope to see if you cannot find some thing to doubt or question, or that needs UO D0 -OAPldlucO. VI dll to any true friendship are those "explana- tions." The finer and truer the feeling, the less, as a usual thing, will it bear these discords. Some one says that friendship is a good deal like china-not good for much after it is once cracked; and the hom.ly comparison has in it much of truth.
 The people who jar upon us in perpetual friction by their false interpretations and insignificant doubts and suspicious and absurd fancies, had far better be eliminated from our social list Life offers far noblel resources and more exhilarating occupa. tions than to keep up the series of expla. nations and justifcations that this type o1 so;called friends demands. Explain your self nine times, and they will misconstrue something else on the tenth. People who have anything to do in the world cannot afford the waste of energies caused by fric tion. The only wise course, the only safe course in the instincts of self preservation is to at once drop from your list of friends the exacting people,

A CAUSE or BOILER EXPLOSIONS.

According to M Treves, some occasion ally mysterious explosions of steam boil CTS, when apparently in good structural and working order, may be thus explain ed: Supposing that work is to be sus- pended either for the night or for any long interval, after s stated hour, and that a boiler is commonly driven under an aver age pressure of 80 or 90 pounds of steam {; some time before the hour of closing, the stoker lets his fire slacken, fills up the boiler, and leaves off with, perhaps, 50 or 60 pounds on the gauge. Next morning, or after the interval, he finds the pressure gauge standing at 20 or 30 pounds, with 6 good supply of water. Consequently, in order to save the heat stored in the boiler, he begins to fire up, without thinking of the danger which may turk in the water that has been boiling all night. The stoker never thinks of putting ill more wa ter, because the gauge is all right, and thus prepares the essential preliminaries of "mysterious" explosion
 The water that has been standing above the boiling point for hours has lost its power of ebullition, because the air which it formerly contained has long been driven off; and in this dead condition it is capa- ble of absorbing heat without the power of delivering it up in the form of steam. The water thus becom s superheated, and at the moment of any mechanical agitation such as the opening of the steam valve, or the introduction of fresh water-it may in- simultaneously flash into steam with ex- plosive force. It has been abundantly proved that, apart from gross defects of construction, condition or management, superheating of the water has of late years been the only intelligible cause of the greater number of boiler explosions. The remedy for this danger is fortunately sim pie, aud resides in the employment of any effective means for preventing the "sleep'' of water in boilers by keeping up con- stant ebullition. >....
 A good device for this purpose is to pro- long the water feed pipe by T the hor- izontal branch being about six inches above the bottom of the boiler. The un- der part of this tube IS to be provided with open conical nipples ranged along the whole length of the pipe, which will extend from end to end of the boiler. Be- fore firing up, the stoker should force air through the feed pipe so fitted until pressure gauge on the pump shows high CT reading than the quiescent steam gauge. The nipples are then full of air, and ready to act as generating centers of ebullition, whereupon the fire may be pushed as desired without risk of explosion. This suggestion 'emanates from NM. Donnt and Gernez, and is recommended by M. Treves as an economical embodiment of universally accepted theory.-Mechanical NeaUs

THE SHAM AND THn REAL.-Every good thing has it's host of imitators every genuine article its commercials. Bad manners and wicked habits have theirs also; but he who shams the bad never boasts of it, while they who ape the virtues of the good or simulate the genuine never hesitate to place the coun- terfeit before the public in theirmost alluring tones When these people initiate they al- ways choose pronounced type or popular subject to copy from and when they claim to be as good as "So-and-So," or to sell an article equal to s'So-and-So," ," the public may depend pon it that MT. ''So-and-So" and his article are always the best of the kind. Thus the sham is always proving the genuine merit of the thing it copies.
 A firm of enterprising gentlemen produce and popularize an article of household use, such as the Royal Baking Powder, whose con- yenience, usefulness and real merit make for itself an immense and universal sale. A hun dred imitators arise on every hand, and as they hold out their sham articles to the pub lie, yelp in chorus, ssBuy this; its just as good as Royal, and much cheaper!' The Royal Baking Powder is the standard the world over, and it's imitators in their cry that theirs is ''as good as Royal" are all the time emphasizing this fact. In their laborious at tempts to show by analysis and otherwise that the Snowfall" brand has as much rais- ing power ''as the Royal" or that the Res urection' powder is as wholesome 'sas Roy 1 sl ;" or that the 'Earthquake' brand is Gas pure as the Royal" as we'll as by their con- tortive twistings of chemical certificates and labored efforts to obtain recognition from the government chemists and prominent scientists who have certified the superiority of Royal over all others, they all admit the 'Royap' to be the acme of perfection, which it is their highest ambition to initiate. But the differ ence between the real and these limitations, which copy only it's general appearance, is ga wide as that between the paste and the true diamond. The shams all pay homage to the stRoyal !"

More About Tabor.

Murat IIalstead's New York Special.
The phenomenon of the last weeks of the
session of the Senate was Senator Tabor. He
certainly was, as Charles Dickens would have
put it, one of the most remarkable men of our
country. He was as rich as bonanza prince
ought to be, and almost as eloquent as Don
Cameron. 1t was difficult to say toward the
last whether he was most instructive or enter
tanning. His splendid wedding may be said
to have thrilled society and paralyzed the Cos
sips of Washington. The last story about him
is the best. 1t is that he urged Senator Davis
to hurry up his wedding, if he is really to be
married, or get married anyhow, and make a
joint bridal tour across the continent in a
special car, truly palatial in its appointments;
and the story goes that the Senator reserved
for the clinching conclusion the remark,
"The trip shall not cost you cent" Upon
this. the story-tellers say, the Judge, who is
himself worth a few millions, started with
grave surprise. 1t is due the Judge to add
that he says this is as big lie as ever a
brother Senator told.
