The Modern Boy.
Extracts From Mrs. Liyermoress New
Doctrine.

Doctrine.
There is type of people affecting
Anglo-mania who say America is big,
but not large.
There is no fixed type of American.
We are too heterogeneous for that's it
will come by and by.
The type of manhood called Ameri-
can, viii be the strongest, manifest,
hottest. best
You can only make beautiful bronzes
by mixing many fine metals.
In America the great aristocracy is
that of money. 1t would seem as
though the nation were up for SALE
Every nation has its besetting sin, as
every individual has his.
We have had before us few hun
dred years ago, drunken ancestry.
Their heaven was an eternal drinking
saloon, and the tendency remains in us.
The American boy comes into the
world with such history before him as
no Greek or Roman boy ever looked
upon.
The average American boy has it in
his power TO clutch almost anything he
may strive for.
1t is possible for him to attain a
moderate amount of wealth honestly.
At the age of so he can look on his
fortune with the consciousness that
there is nof a dirty dollar in it, and that
at fifty is great thing to be able to do.
The glamour of life is gone at 90
Before we are aware of it our boys
stand in mems places. but their charac-
tiers are not formed, and they have
temptations that our forefathers never
knew.
The majority of boys are strong in
their sense of power at an early age.
Thank God, / never heard mother
say what many men do of their boys,
''Let them come up naturally" /
never heard that doctrine advanced for
any other animal or vegetable
Our boys are deficient in bodily
training.
DIR. Hammond has said that nearly
every boy unfit for the United States
training ships on account of color
blindness or heart disease, was rendered
SO by tobacco.
No growing boy can use tobacco
without suffering physically | say
nothing of the morality of the question.
Boys do not receive the moral train
ing that they ought. In fact, the girls
do not.
The boy san upsetting thing in the
house.
He has a holy horror of being useful
about the house.
With all his faults he is lovable, and
the hearts of the women go out to him.
There is scarcely day in my life
that do not receive the testimony of
some men as TO the worth of their
mothers 10 them.
There is in these lads of ours a high
sense of honor and manliness when
young.
What happens between then and
when they stand in the criminals dockp
Some one has failed in their training.
Every mother must give her boy
careful training in personal morality.
Nature never pardons.
Though all men in the world may
teach that there is difference between
private and public morality, do not
accept that doctrine for moment
Every boy should be taught to respect
womanhood.
1T lad does not get his social train
ing early in life he never gets it. This
is why we find great men sometimes
exceeding-ill-bred.
Every boy should be trained to be an
American citizen-and so should every
girl.

Burdette on scaIping.

Bob Burdette, after taking some poor
wretch of an editor who has had nc
more discretion than to attack him,
and hopping the floor with him, has
afterward been moved to pity by the
poor wretch's whines, and resolved
never to allow himself to be provoked
into doing it again; but at the same
time we are inclined to think that he is
probably not possessed of a great deal
more Christian forbearanee than the
rest of us, and that it would be an un.
pardonable indiscretion TO provoke him
into doing the job second time. How
ever he gives the following sensible
advice:
Let me tell You how | write mean
letters and bitter editorials, my boy
Some time, when man has pitched
into me and "cut me up rough" and
want to pulverize him, and wear his
cory scalp at my girdle and hang his
hide on my fence, l write the letter OF
editorial that is to do the business.
write something that will drive sleep
from his eyes and peace from his soul
for six weeks. Oh, do hold him over
a slow fire and roast him. Gall and
aquafortis drip from my blistering pen.
Then. | don't mail the letter and don't
print the editorial. There's always
plenty of time to cruelty man. The
yilest criminal is entitled TO a little re-
prieve. | put the manuscripts away IN
a drawer. Next day | look at it. The
ink is cold, read it over and say: II
don't know about this. There's good
deal of bludgeon and bowie-knife Jour-
nalism in that. I'll hold it over day
longer.n The next day read it again.
| laugh and say: 'Pshaw," and | can
feel my cheeks getting little hot. The
fact is am ashamed that ever wrote
it, and hope that nobody has seen II
and have half forgotten the article or
letter that filed my soul with rage.
haven't been hurt, haven't hurt any
body, and the world goes right along,
making twenty-four hours day as
usual, and j am all the happier. Try
it, my boy.

In view of the cost of the Panama OF
Nicaragua Canal. it may be stated that
the Suez Canal cost 500, 0O0,00 and
the stock is now worth four times its
par value-that is, the canal is paying
moderate dividends on a sum equal to
$400,000,000 There is no reason to
suppose that the revenues of a canal
across the American isthmus would be
equal to those OF the Suez Canal; but
they would be large from the begin
ming, and would rapidly increase.

TURNING THE TABLES. Pro-
fessor Wiseman, of Kings College.
Aberdeen, Scotland, was finished
scholar, devout Christian, profound
thinker and very studious man. He
was always in the deepest thought and
seldom observed any one on the street.
As consequence of this popularity,
he was often made the subject of a
practical joke by the students, but he
very seldom resented the liberty that
was taken with him. One morning,
however, he had been for a long walk
by the river side, and on his way back
he was met by several of his own pu-
pills. One of them saluted him with
Good morning, Father Abraham;"
another with, Good morning, Father
Isaac and the third with, .'Good
morning, Father jacob This was
too much for the Professor. Turning
upon his tormentors with stern look,
he said: lam neither Father Abraham,
nor Father Isaac, nor Father Jacob, but
Saul, the son of Kish, sent by faith to
seek my fathers asses, and will it not
rejoice the heart of the old man when |
inform him that have just found three
of them" Those students never
troubled the Professor again. He was
too much for them. Experience teaches
many and every one is learning that
