Burdette's Advice to Young Men
[From recent Lecture at New York.

have had great deal of advice given me
by older people than myself. In many instan-
ces know would have been much wiser had
followed that advice. When boy, I was told
to keep away from the canvas of the circus
tent, but didn't. am wiser now. Although
circus mans arm is not so swift as lightning,
yet it is much more likely to strike twice in
the same place. Young men, you must be
somebody to begin with. I don't mean by this
that you must be born of some big family, for
ancestry don't count for much in this country.
If you have got the idea in to your head that it
does, you ought to be stuffed and set up in
front of a cigar store. When the world wants
you, my son, it will find you. It won't
don't care. People soon forget the names
of the ancestors of distinguished PEG.
pie in this country. / don't believe
there isa man present here tonight who can
tell me the name of Brigham Young's mother
in-law. Make up your mind to do great deal
of hard work. 1t won't kill you. It's the in
tervals between work that kill people. It's af-
ter one of these intervals" that you wake up
and find your hat four sizes too small and your
coat several sizes too big. It's the recreation
that kills. Oh, but it's only once in awhile,
you say-a very small matter. Well, although
a humble bee is not as large as dray horse,
you mustn't handle him carelessly. Then try
to get acquainted with yourself. A good many
men die without having scraped an acquain-
lance with themselves. II you are going 20 be
honest from policy don't be honest at all. The
Kind of honesty that can be bought and sold
isn't worth much. Don't believe that cheek is
better than modesty and merit, because it isn't.
IL you never do anything else In the world,
marry. Don't be afraid your wife won't look
after you. You'll find she will be able to do
that to perfection.

At Jakutsk, in go q north latitude it has
been determined by actual excavation that the
earth is frozen to depth of 1872 feet, and this
stratum of permanent frost increases as we adj
vance northward
Snowfakes formed at a low temperature are
smaller than those formed at higher temper
ature. AT a very low temperature they are
often less than one-tenth of an inch in dame
ter; when formed near the temperture of 800
they are sometimes found an inch in diameter.
Sometimes snowfiakes falling attach them
selves together in their descent to the earth
and alight as loose SNOWFALL, perhaps two in
ches in diameter After they have fallen
they are sometimes driven along by the wind
and rolled into large balls, which have been
found with diameter of three feet. They are
cylindrical in shape and hollow in the centre.
On the darkest nights the snow is more lu-
minous then the sky showing that it retains a
portion of the light which it has received dur
ing the day, after the sun has set. If during
the day portion was shaded, that portion is
less luminous than the surrounding snow.
In the polar regions, where the snow lies un.
melted from year to year, it assumes q rudy
color, and sometimes becomes red like blood.
In Spitzbergen it sometimes assumes green
hue. This,-it has been ascertained, is caused
by an exceedingly minute vegetable resembling
mushroom, which never hourishes at tenn
perature exceeding that of melting ice.

Industrial Schools.

President White of Cornell University has
returned from Germany thoroughly con-
WINGED OF the Importance and practically of
industrial schoo Is. He believes thew can
be made as great success in this country
as there. Some account of his experiences
and views is given by the New York Sun,
and that journal cordially sympathizes with
the college professor, The Sun points out
that it is because of the industrial schools of
France and Germany that our best mechan-
ical work is now done Ly foreign workmen.
The most of these are Germans, but there
are also among the number many French
men, very many Englishmen, and not few
Belgians. The hands in the cabinet-mak-
ers' shops are chiefly Germans-almost
wholly so-and immigrants from the same
country are gradually monopolizing the bust
ness of paper hanging, while they and the
Frenchmen and Belgians are doing nearly
the whole of the house decoration of various
kinds for which there is nov SO universal a
passion among well-to. do people.
Germans and Englishmen of comparative.
~ lcCcub arrival are also SeIIIQS mo their
hands large part, if not the chief part, Of
the most tasteful carpenter and joinery work
required in New York. Besides, they are
becoming our best painters, shoemakers and
other mech anics. The names on the signs
have undergone great change within a
very short time-ten or fifteen years at the
most
What is the reason of this change? 1t is
that the foreign workmen get far better
schooling in their trades than is customary
here, especially since the old apprentice sys-
TEN has gone so much out of vogue. They
come to us after training not only in the
shop, but also in Industrial schools and
schools for the teaching and practice of in
dustrial art. And once they are here their
superior taste and more thorough instruction
sasure them living SO much better than
that they could hope to get at home, that
their comrades of the trades are induced to
follow them and obtain the high wages
which skilled work of the most approved
kind commands.

In the railroad mileage for 1882, Texas
was far and way ahead of all competitors,
over 1000 miles having been completed dur
ing the past two years in that State. The
activity has now diminished very materially,
in consequence of what is known as the
''Three Cent bill,' passed by the Legislature,
which forbids any railway to charge over
three cents mile for each passenger car
ried. The New York Central can make a
profit from carrying passengers at two cents
mile; the Texas Pacific would lose money
at four cents mile, because of the differ
ence of passenger travel and freight carried
by a railroad passing through a thickly set
tied country and one but sparsely settled
like Texas. The construction companies
have paid out over $25,o0o,oOo in Texas in
two years.

SOMEBODY has discovered that the Scent
nickel coin ought to be larger and thinner.
and the Treasury Department has ordered
change accordingly. This is all humbug,
and the result will be nuisance. Some
half-dozen dollars, two or three halves and
quarters, and at least two 5-cent pieces are
now in circulation. To add another coin is
preposterous. The present "nickeI'' has q
definite weight and measurement according
to the metric system. The proposed coin
will be an odd piece, of arbitrary size, and
is apparently to be produced simply to graft
fly some officials caprice. Congress ought
to forbid such needless tampering with the
money of the country.

THE New York Herald says of Grammar
in Public Schools:'' sit is undeniable that
grammatical accuracy of speech is desirable
in children; it is equally undeniable that no
children speak dramatically, and those
who faultlessly recite rules and construe
sentences speak as incorrectly as any of
their companions. When any one, child or
adult, speaks and writes dramatically it
is always safe to assume that the accuracy
was acquired by much reading of good au-
thors or by association with persons who
read or write great deal. 1t issery unlikely
that SHAKESPEARE, whose construction of SEN
fences teachers do not criticise, ever saw
text book on Hsammar, and the same may
be said of other writer's of pure English"
