THE BOY.

This is boy. He is n Small Boy. He
is his Mothers Son. He is also his
Fathers Own Son. He is not rs old as
his Father, but he Knows great deal
more. He is not afraid of Work. He
is never scared to see his Parents toll
for his good. He goes to School-some-
times. That is, he goes there when it
Rains, so he can't 60 Fishing nor play
Ball. But he had rather 90 to the cir
Gus than the School, At School he
studies three Reading, Spell
ing, and Mischief. He loves to eat
Bread and Butter. and Tie Tin Pan to
the Dogs Tail. Some Boys steal. They
begin when Young, and keep it up.
Then they learn to get Drunk. and do
all sorts of bad things. And when they
grow up to be Men they are liable to
be sent to-Congress. Boys should be
Honest, and never get caught in any
bad Scrapes. 1t is a sad thing to be
Caught.

Women Men.

Women jump at conclusions and gen

When a woman becomes furried she

Hurried he feel. for a cigar.
Some women can't pass millinery

can't pass saloon without going in.
A woman never sees baby without
wanting to run to it; mam never
sees baby without wanting to run from
it.
A woman always carries her purse
in her hand so that other women can
see it: man carries his in his inside
pocket so that his wife won't see it.

Soap from Swint.

Until recently all experiments to
make soap from swint grease of woeD
have signaly failed. The waste in he
cleansing ofwool is nearly 30 per cent,
and as the grease constitutes the great
err part of the waste. its value. If utii-
zed. can readily be seen. Practically
no use has been made of it. heretofore.
and it has been allowed TO flow into and
contaminate rivers and streams A
French chemist has demonstrated that
commercial soap can be made from
swint by treating it with certain com
posts of sulphur. The operation is
complete in less than an hour and the
cost is nominal. The product obtained
is not IA toilet soap. but it is claimed
that toa great extent it will take the
place of the sulphuretted composts now
used in agriculture and vine culture. in
hospitals and institutions, and in eases
of contagious epidemics.
