MASTERED HIM.

Physical strength was formerly a
necessary requisite in the man WHO
''kept school" He was not called
'sthe teacher he was ''the master"
and if he did not make the title good,
there were many schools that he
could not teach. In these days we
demand something besides muscle in
a teacher; but occasionally it hap
pens that muscle is needed among
the big boys even now, and the gym
nasium and boat-race training of a
college graduate comes in play along
side the more intellectual work Of
education. A recent case is reported
of college boy who proved himself
'smaster" of the situation, though it
must be said that circumstances
helped him considerably at the finish.
The town of Sharon, Mass, had a
winter school where for several years
the big boys had their own way,
thrashing 'and turning out-of-doors
the teachers, until the committee en-
gagged John Sykes, an understood
graduate of Harvard, but diversified
in muscle and energy.
He opened school with concilia-
tory address, asking the cooperation
of the pupils, but ending with firm
expression of his intentions a1d ex-
pectations. Very soon after which
Bill Yates, a ''six-footer, " CON menced
the usual rebellion and tried to trip
ND Sykes, who instantly collared,
floored, and put his foot on the rebel,
until Bill promised to abide by the
rules of the school, and submit to
the application of the big fiat ruler
of the teacher.
But when the latter went for this
instrument of authority, Bill went for
a window, out of which he had got
his head and shoulders, when down
came the sash on his back, and held
him fast. The teacher appreciated
the advantage the situation conferred,
and applied so vigorous castigation
that it went TO the very roots of the
| resistance.

AMBITION, SELFISHNESS AND
FALSE PRIDE.

Ambition is very good thing to
have if you don't have too much
of it. 1t is like quinine-good in
small doses; if too much is TAX
en- it is apt to have bad effect
upon the head. Ambition is a diff
cult thing to define; cruelty, selshff-
ness and false pride are its first cous-
ins. Ambition in i'll balanced ma
lures makes them cruel; the possess
sor will step to the prize over the
quivering bodies of his competitions
physically speaking. in by-gone ages;
fguratively, in this nineteenth centu-
ry-without qualm of regret, ex-
cept that the guerdon is not greater
than it is, and without compassion
for those who have fallen in the
struggles. OF selishness there are
many kinds; the common, everyday,
won -give-up-my-seat-k kind of selfish
ness, and the other kind-the rem
dering of small favors in expectation
of return at usury-this is the
pure, double-distilled bottled-and-
corkedwith-a-gla glass-stopper kind. Of
false pride there is only one kind
but that is the meanest kind manu-
factured. False pride will tell a
young man to steal rather than to
beg; to lie concerning his prospects
rather than tell his friends he has
been unwise and is in strait. The
young man who arrives in city
without any friends, registers at the
best hotel, and has his mail from
home addressed there, taking his
board out of his prospects for getting
work, will be very likely to get his
name into the papers as hotel beat,
and be obliged to have his letters adj
dressed to the jail. The young man
who starts out in life with the idea
that in a few years he will own the
whole earth and q few acres of the
next field, may have to come round
at the last minute and beg for so
much as seat on the fence. "Make
haste slowly is wise proverb; its
wisdom is proved by the best of ex-
perience. Rome was not built in a
day, nor even great many other
towns of less Importance in history.
The only thing that ever was built in
a day is a young mans air-castle,
and we all know of its durability.

BIscUT.- Very nice biscuit can
be made for tea by taking a portion
of the bread dough before it is mold
ed into loaves and working into this
a tablespoonful of butter. Let this
stand in tolerably cool place for
four hours, knead again and let it
alone for three hours longer, then
roll, very lightly, pieces of the dough
into round or oblong biscuits and
place close together in a creased
pan. These must rise for another
hour, then bake in quick oven; or
you can make very nice crumpets by
taking one pint of the raised dough
after the second rising, and working
into it three tablespoonfuls of melted
butter. Beat three eggs and half a
cup of sugar together until very light
and work this into the dough. Bake
in muffin rings about twenty minutes.

I have q motive in writing this
plain little narrative. In New En-
gland, in New York state and in the
west, there are scores, yes, hundreds
and thousands of abandoned farms
like the one I came to on my first
night in. To the hundreds of
homeless persons, young and old, in
the cities, these deserted farms offer
homes, and then may be improved.
During the second year I paid my
note for $75 with interest and took
up the mortgage.

AYERS
Hair VigOr

restores, with the gloss and freshness of
youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
BY its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and badness often,
though not always, cured.
1t checks falling of the hair, and stimu
lates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. 1t
prevents and cures scurf and dandrutf, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. AS Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
VIGoR is unequalled; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
MR. c. P. BRIcHER writes from Kirbu. o.,
July 3, 1882: Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and in short time l became
nearly bald. l used part of a bottle of
AYERS HAIR VIGoR, which stopped the fall
ing OF the hair, and started new growth. l
have now full head of hair growing vigor-
ously, and am convinced that but for the
use of your preparation / should have been
entirely bald.''
j. W. BOWEN, proprietor of the 3fc4Arthur
(Ohi0) Enquirer, says " AYERS HAIR VIGoR
is most excellent preparation for the hair.
speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes it glossy and soft. The VIGOR is also
a sure cure for dandrutf. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction"
MIR. ANGUS FAIRBAIRN, leader of the
celebrated " Fairbairn Family of Scottish
Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass, Feb. G.,
1880: ever since my hair began to give sill
very evidence of the change which fleeting
time procureth, l have used AYERS HAIR
VIGoR, and SO have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthfulness matter of
considerable consequence to min o. ters, ora
tors, actors, and in fact every onc who lives
in the eyes of the public
Mrs. o. A. PRESCOTT, writing from is Elm
ST., ChCrrlestoic,l, Mass, april IA, 1882 says :
"Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair
came off. 1t thinned very rapidly, and was
fast growing bald. On using AYERS HAIR
VIGoR the falling stopped and a new growth
commenced, and in about month my head
was completely covered with short hair. 1t
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. regularly used but one bottle
of the VIGoR, but now use it occasionally as
dressing
We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of AYERS HAIR VIGoR. 1t
needs but trial to convince the most skepti.
cal of its value.

LONDON. November l3.-In Commons
to-day, Harrington, Secretary of State
for War, moved an appropriation of n
million pounds for the Nile expedition.
He explained that the object of the expe-
dition was to accomplish the relief Of
General Gordon, but said Lord Wolseley
was not ~precluded by the terms of his in
struetions from establishing a settled gov
eminent over Khartoum and the surround
ing districts.
The Blue Book just published differs
much in its information concerning the
recent military expenditures of the gov
eminent. The government sanctioned
the expenditure of s464,0 900 for the
speedy manufacture Of the latest patterns

cCulloch's Report.

WASHINGTON, November l3.-Secre-
tary McCulloch is busily engaged in the
preparation of his annual report to Con
gress. 1t is intimated he will make some
important recommendations in regard to a
revision of the tariff, on which subject he
is understood to have very decided views.
In the meantime Assistant Secretary Coon
is Acting Secretary on all routine matters.
The Secretary has requested the Comp
troller Of the Currency and the Treasurer
of the United States to withhold their
annual reports from publication until
after the meeting of Congress. Charters
for 72l national banks, with an aggregate
capital of over $ls9, 900, 900, will expire
during the year 1885. This is more than
one-third of the entire number of national
banks now in existence. From informa-
ton already received by the Comptroller
of the Currency, it is expected that a
large majority of these banks will continue
their existence either by extending their
charters or by recognizing under other
titles. There are at present more national
banks in existence, with a larger aggre-
gate capital, than ever before. The capt.
tai invested in national banks was in
creased about IS, 900, 900 during the year
ended September 80, 1884.
