The Boy and His Beer.

Now, my boy, tell me just one thing
/ want to know. Why should a boy
drink beer? You say you don't know?
Well, neither do l; though / know
good many reasons why a boy should
not drink beer. / often notice at eating
houses and lunch-counters a thing
which has bad look. There are a
great many boys drinking beer with
their MONDAY lunch. They are clerks,
errand-boys and boys who are earning
their living in various ways. They see
men drinking beer, and so they initiate
the men. Whether they like the taste
of the beer or not, don't know. But
they think it looks manly; and you
know boys will put themselves to a
great deal of trouble and inconven-
fence to do what men do. You see this
in the trouble boys take in learning
how to smoke and chew tobacco. I
want to whisper in the ear of every
boy who takes glass of beer at his
lunch that he is in danger. l do not
say that one glass of beer will make
him dangerously drunk or leave him
lying insensible in the gutter or ON the
pavement But a boy who has an
afternoons work to do is very likely to
be untitled for it by one glass of beer.
This beverage makes him stupid and
thick and sleepy. 1t may not put him
actually to sleep, nor affect his tongue
so that his speech sounds like that of
an old topper; but it beclouds his brain
just enough to make him different boy
from what he ought to be, either for
his own advantage or for that of his
employer. Then think what the beer
leads to. There are great many
stronger drinks sold at the lunch
counter, and you know boys are fond of
trying experiments. A fifteen-year-
old boy sees some eighteen-year-old
who is near him trying glass of sherry
or pony of brandy. He thinks that
what the bigger boy is doing is manly,
and therefore he will do it too. The
new revelation to him. His stomach is
warmed, and presently his head has a
curious feeling of lightness, and he
wonders if these drinks always make a
fellow feel that way. He tries and
tries, and tries again, and finds just
how they make fellow feel. 1t is
easy to see that the lad is in danger of
walking in crooked ways. 1t is pity
that boy should have to get his lunch
at place where strong drinks are sold.
There are so many of these places in
our big cities and so few of the "dai-
ries and such places where liquors
are not to be had, The boy who eats
among drinkers is in danger. He is
likely to fall into their ways. Better
90 to a " dairy" if you can. Or, if you
are living at home where you have
good mother or sister, bring a neat
lunch in your pocket and keep out of
the eating and drinking-shops alto

Saluting Teachers.

1t is pleasant to see the good old po-
likeness returning. There are towns in
New England where a majority of the
boys salute their teachers in the streets
by bowling and taking off their hats.
This shows good breeding and good
sense on the part of both teachers and
pupils. Every one loves to see it and
wishes the custom was universal.
In the olden times such observances
were exacted of all scholars. Boys
were required to come to a stand on
entering the school-room and bow to
the teacher No mere bob of the head
would be accepted; the bow had to be
low, formal and deliberate, and some
teachers watched it closely, and COM
PEELED the boy to repeat the ceremony
if it were not executed to their salts
faction. On leaving the school-room
at the end of the morning and after
noon, the same tribute of respect was
required.
There were martinets among both
parents and teachers in former days
who made the morning bow thing of
terror and of torment to children.
Frederika Bremen describes in her
memoirs the dread with which she APP
preached her father and mother in the
morning, and the stern, cold rigor with
which her timid courtesy and manner
of advancing were watched and crit,
cised by her father.
If he detected or fancied anything
wrong in her performance, he would
send her out of the breakfast-room, to
re-enter and repeat the awful ceremony.
Even this unfeeling and harsh train
ing was, perhaps, better than no training
at all in the minor morals. There should
be spontaneous and cheerful politeness
between pupils and teachers, between
parents and children. Boys should
salute their teachers from a feeling OF
respect and goodwill toward them. AT
the same time, little instruction or
the subject of polite observances may
serve to suggest the idea and improve
the method.
There are boys among us, and goot
boys, too, who never performed a po
lite action in their lives, nor uttered
polite word. They would be ashamed
to take off their hats to teacher, ant
if they should do it, they would blush
as if they had committed crime. Thi
is what the French call bad shame ,
(naauvaise honte), to distinguish it from
the feeling caused by doing wrong
which short weekly lesson in polite
ness would afford. - Youths Companion

Formal Calls.

Formal calls are one of the penances
of this world, anyway You don't want
to go too much, and they don't care
much to have you come; but if you
don't go they get mad. In bright lit
tie book called " Crawford" published
several years ago, and we think by
Mrs. Gaskell, there is description of a
young lady starting out to make some
formal calls. Her aunts caution her
not to stay more than quarter of an
hour at any place, and she asks how
will she know when it is quarter of
an hour if she is interested in the con-
versation? They tell her that she
must keep her mind on the time, and
not allow herself to get much inter-
ested in the conversation and show her
ignorance of polite manners by over
staying the conventional limits of call.
Some such idea as this still seems to
prevail.-Bucks County Intellgencer.
