THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOYS.
The Opportunities the Boy of To-Day Has
Over the Other Boy.

As to the difference between city and
country boys it lies entirely in the train
ing. The farmers son may have the
most intelligence as child, but natural
intelligence must be trained and culti-
waited or it becomes low cunning instead
of wisdom. The country boy has dis
trict school, run in almost any fashion,
while the city boy has graded schools
conducted on the wisest system. So
long as he is kept in the country
the farmers boy has no show at
all compared to his friend in town in the
matter of education.
We look at mans personal deport-
ment before we test his intellectual abili-
ties. The farmers son has no associates
outside of his own class. The semi-soll-
tary life of the farm has few refining in
fuences. The work must be done
whether or no, and farm-workers cannot
expect time to cultivate song or music.
He is not brought into contact at church
socials, parties, lodges, lyceums, etc.,
with the refined and educated. He
grows up in his ways and he remains
thus. While the social condition of the
American farmer is immeasurably su-
perior to that of any similar class in any
country on earth, it is not what it could
be made or what it will be fifty years
hence.
And now, my boy, says M. Quad,
who is telling the story, let me
say to you that no matter what state
you live in or what avocation you intend
to pursue, you have advantages which
you may not fully comprehend. There
are no social barriers to keep you down.
An honest, truthful, respectable boy or
man can step right to the front without
| capital. His merits are recognized and
rewarded. You have advantages over
the boy of twenty, ten, or even five
years ago. Every progressive step In
the country's history helps the boy as
well as the man. Twenty years ago the
money of the country was handled by
men whose gray hairs were supposed to
be proofs of honesty, and the business
was in the hands of men past 40. To-
day the country is giving the boys gold
en- chances. They are put at the day
books and ledgers, at the cash desks, in
banks and postoffices, in positions OF
trust and responsibility everywhere, and
the active business is in the hands of men
between twenty-five and forty. But for
the boys who are taking an active part
in business to-day the wheels would
move slowly. You have the advantages
and opportunities; if you miss them it
Is your own fault.

An Unpleasant Experience.

An Oxfordshire woman met with an
experience few days days back which
should act as warning to intending WIS.,
itors to lunatic asylums. The person in
question journeyed to Littlemore, vii
lage four miles from Oxford, where
there is an asylum, with the intention OF
visiting female patient. The porter,
having admitted her, passed her on to
one of the matrons with the words 'to
visit female patient )" but the matron
appears to have caught only the last
words OF the sentence, and mistake re-
suited which caused the visitor a good
deal of unpleasantness. The stranger
was taken to the top of the building, un-
der the belief that she was going to see
her friend, and then she was suddenly
shut into an empty room. Shortly af.
terward nurse entered, and, to the con.
sternation of the visitor, at once pro-
ceeded to undress her. Protestations
were unavailing, and the poor woman
was stripped and placed in bath, after
which she was forcibly put to bed. By
this time the mistaken lunatic was, ol
course, in frantic state of alarm, which
only favored the belief that she was
really a mad woman. Where this grue
some farce might have ended it is no
pleasant to contemplate; but by lucky
accident the mistake was discovered later
in the day, and the Unfortunate woman
was set at liberty with protuse apollo
! gies,

Away went the Fish.

A ten-ton tank wagon of creosote oil
was dispatched from Newcastle, Eng.
TO the north. While it was passing
along the Caledonian line at Biackford
it was discovered that brass plug three
inches in diameter in the bottom of the
tank, and used for emptying it, had
fallen out. The leakage was so great
that the ground between the rails for
thirty yards was covered with oil fully
three inches in depth. The station
master at Blackford and the porters en-
deavored to plug the hole with waste,
but before the leakage was stopped the
tank was nearly empty. By this time
the stream of oil was rushing over the
north embankment of the railway into
an adjacent field, where there is drain
to the river Allan, distance of 15C
yards. The oil, getting into the con-
duit, poured into the river, killing every
living thing as far down as Dunblane.
Thousands of fish lay dead in the river,
no fewer than 800 being counted in one
pool. The eels were all killed, and &
number of water rats were poisoned
The Allan is C favorite stream will
anglers, but it is stated that years mus
elapse before the river is restored to the
condition in which il was before the ac
cident.

Christmas.

When Irving was reproached for de-
scribing an English Christmas which he
had never seen, he replied that, although
every thing that he had described might
not be seen at any single house, yet all
of it could be seen somewhere in Eng
land at Christmas. He might have an
swered, also, that the spirit of what he
had described was visible everywhere in
Christendom on Christmas Day.
''some say that ever gainst that season
comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrate,
The bird of dawning 'singeth all night long;
And then, they say, no spirit dares stir
abroad;
The nights are wholesome, then no planets
strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to
charm,
So hallowed and SO gracious is the time."
This is the Christmas sentiment of to-
day, as it was of Shakespeare's time. 1t
is the most human and kindly of sea-
sons, as fully penetrated and irradiated
with the feeling of human brotherhood,
which is the essential spirit of Christian
ity, as the month of June with sunshine
and the balmy breath of roses. Santa
Claus coming down the chimney loaded
with gifts is but the symbol of the gra
cious influence which at this time de-
scends from heaven into every heart.
The day dawns with a benediction; it
passes in holiday happiness, and ends in
soft and pensive regret. 1T could not be
the most beautiful of festivals if it were
doctrinal, or dogmatic. or theological, OF
local. 1t is universal holiday because
it is the jubilee of universal sentiment,
moulded only by new epoch, and SUBJ
tIy adapted to the new forms of the old
faith.

A Charm.

Senator Palmer, of Michigan, says q
Washington correspondent, who has an
income of $175, 900 year, is said to
have purchased charm in early youth
to which he attributes much of his luck.
This charm was made in Persia and
secured by young Palmer during his
three years wandering in Spain, where
he so injured his feet in his long tramps
that he has been able to wear only cloth
shoes since. He said the other day that
life was almost wholly made up of illu-
sions. "The happiest man." said he,
sis the one who has the most illusions.
There are only three substantial things
that you can get out of life, and the man
who has those at the required intervals
is as we'll off as the richest. The three
realities are full stomach, good sui
of clothes and bed to sleep in. Every
thing else belongs to The realm OF illu
sions."

A Lake Island.

Adam Schardt lives on Kelly's Island,
in Put-in-Bay. He is rare old German
with a pleasant and agreeable accent.
He gives the following history of the
early settlers of Kelly's Island: In the
first place. the island was literally COW
cred with snakes and reptiles, and no
human being, not even the noble red
man, had the courage to dispute their
right and title to the island. During a
heavy storm, many years ago, aschooner
was wrecked off McGodgain's Point.
The boat carried cargo of live hogs.
All hands were lost, but the hogs swan
ashore, and, as they found little else to
feed upon, they made diet of snakes.
In the course of time they succeeded in
devouring all the snakes on the island.
Then the Kelly family put in an ap-
pearance and began devouring the hogs,
feat which was accomplished easily
and quickly. Nothing has since sue
ceeded in exterminating the Kelly
family.

Cases Where the City is Healthier thaEus
Dhso .oSs5
The reports by te!EgFapE11E
from eastern Kentucky show most a.
plorable condition of things there.
Thousands of persons have died from
some kind of an epidemic under every
circumstance of poverty and loneliness,
and several of the mountain counties
are in fair way to become depopu-
lated. The disease probably is dysen-
terry, brought on by the long-continued
drought, and by neglect that only ignor-
ance of the simplest sanitary laws
could permit. Even the worst parts of
great city are healthier and better
protected against poison than many
rural districts of America. We have
ourselves seen, in dozens of cases in
the West and Southwest, cattle-yards so
constructed that the drainage went into
the well, or spring or stream from which
water was obtained for all domestic pur-
poses. We have seen an entire village
of perhaps five hundred inhabitants
built over basin of trap-rock SO sltu-
ated that all the wells, without excep-
ton, were only pockets for surface
drainage, sewerage and soakage from
pig-sties, stables and out houses. For
several years low fevers and digestive
disorders prevailed; then, one extreme
ly hot summer, everyone was sick, and
thirty or forty persons died. Finally,
pipes were laid and water brought from
distant and uncontaminated sources, and
the invalids began to recover. For
years every man, woman, child, and
domestic animal in the village had been
systematically and steadily imbibing
poison with every drop of water taken
into the circulation.
This is hard world for new mission
airy enterprises, and yet, could any one
do better work than to preach sani-
tary gospel to these poor creatures? II
is not literature and science that they
want half as much as the simple state
ment: "Do this, and you die; avoid
this, and you live" Why should not q
few plain rules of health be printed on
cards with elegant chromos' and at
tractive glitter, and placed in every
! cabin in all the mountains ard back
woods Of America ? ALI honor to Ameri-
can pedagogy; but let us have the ac-
cepted sanitary law, that excremental
drainage is poison, made more clear tC
the rustic mind, even though little oi
the "higher education" waits for g
time. For these things have to dc
with the health of the nation and with
its working-force in the open markets
of the world, and with its rank in the
scale of civilization. If we can teach
one generation how to live decently, the
next will teach itself how to live upor
those higher intellectual levels.

The Happy Home.

Tt is not always the costliest home that
Is Sherhap plead. NotT, sake the Indian
wigwam. 1t doesn't contain the lux
uries of the bank presidents home. All
the carpet is an odd rope or two; the
there is no bric-a-brac except scalp or
two. Yet the Indian is happy. There
is not shadow to dim the pure old gold
sunshine of his wild life. He sees the
smoke curl softly upward from under the
kettle that contains his meal, and float
away through the rustling needles OF
the pine.
This picture makes his happiness COM
plete, as he lies on the ground calmly
smoking and watching his wife do all the
work. It is no wonder the Indian likes
home, because that is the place where
he never has anything to do but sit
around and sleep. When he comes in
from the hunt he is never sent off to the
village to have some cretonne matched,
or told to sit and hold three or four
hanks of yarn that are to be wound; he
doesn't have to take care of the pap
poose while his squaw goes out shop
ping; he doesn't have to stand on bar
rel and build up the obstinate stove-pipe
section by section, with the SCOT pour
ing down in his eyes. He isn't asked
what every woman he met had on, and
is consequently not blown up for not
having noticed.
Think what happy home the Indian
has, when you come to consider that his
wife doesn't wear silk dresses, or twenty
dollar bonnets, or care anything about
the opera, or horses and carriages. Why,
the squaw is perfectly happy i'll blouse
and pair of army trousers. The noble
woman makes every sacrifice to render
her husband happy. He never knows
what it is to be kept awake half the night
to be talked into some frivolous unnec'
essary purchase, or to learn that the
souaw in the next wigwam possesses
something that his does not. These are
some of the things that tend to make the
Indians home happy. Puck.

A New Use for the Light.

The most recent novelty in the use of
the electric light is for signaling at
night, and especially at sea. To a
small captive balloon is attached an
Edison burner, connected by wires with
the operator. The balloon having
reached the desired height, the lamp is
extinguished and relit at such intervals
as the code followed requires in order
to form words or other Ineligible signs.
AS this can be applied to any code in
vogue, and can be used at great dis
tances and under circumstances where
long distance signaling is impracticable,
it is likely TO find favor among the mill
tary. The suqgestor is Russian naval
officer named Kostoyich,
