Who Are Your Compartment

A boy is known by the company he
keeps. You are Judged by your associ-
atcs, for the very good reason that
people usually select for their friends
those who are III sympathy with them
selves.
If suspicion in a school trouble of
any sort falls upon a lad or a set of
lads, you may be certain that they
have been companions in mischief.
Wrong-doing is much like a SNOWFALL
rolling down hill; it gathers size and
momentum as it goes. IT a bad boy
could always keep good company, few
persons would credit him with badness.
But a bad boy would be i'll at ease
among the good, and SO you seldom
find him in their society.
May your Aunt Maioric explain that
she is not one Of those tiresome people
who never have patience with fun, and
who consider high spirits and merri-
ment out Of placer Indeed, no. When
there is a frolic going on, count me in,
if you please. Under the head of bad
ness, l include the which
makes q boy tell q lie rather than WI
that he has been in the wrong; the
malice which prompts him to play q
practical joke, and the lack of principle
which borrows and does not return.
There are diseases which are con-
tagious, that is, communicated by the
touch We are very careful not to
put ourselves in their way. The wonst
disease in the world which affects only
the body is, however, to be preferred
to a wrong condition of the soul, and
the best way to keep out of that is to
choose good companions and avoid bad

THE TWO SANS.

A correspondent, who had the
pleasure of hearing the two Sans,
Jones and Small, at Lake Pleasant,
recently. writes
1t was their first appearance in
New England, and they were well
coined by an audience variously es-
timated from five to ten thousand.
They are southern men but not black,
as some have supposed, but white
inside and out, of medium height and
size, and in word, perfect gentle
men ip the true sense of the term.
They are loyal, patriotic, and would
fight for the old flag. Small is fine
ly educated, has occupied many hon.
orable and responsible positions, has
a pleasing address, is eloquent in
style, and makes happy impression
upon the minds of an audience. Jones
speaks deliberately, thoughtfully,
with sprinkling of pleasantly, en-
forcing the immutahle principles of

GOOD BREEDING.

On meeting an acquaintance who
is in ill-health, how many rush for
ward exclaiming: "How badly you
look, 1 should never have known
you!" This is not only execrable on
the part of the person who perpe-
trates it, but is often followed by Sc
rious consequences to the invalid,
who is naturally depressed by such
news. Invalids should always be
met with cheerful words or manner,
even if they had to be assumed.
Those possessed of truly good man
ners, as distinguished from surface
polish, will always and on every oc-
caslon have a proper regard for the
aged. What more beautiful sight is
there than devotion from youth to the
aged around them? On the other
hand, to see, as is frequently the
case. children allowed to mimic and
ridicule tottering age, is shame
and disgrace to the age in which we
live 1t is true that sit is never too
late to learn" but those who have
the most agreeable manners and who
exhibit urbanity under any circum-
stances, are the ones in whom good
manners were instilled in early child
hood. 1t is not only rude but ex-
tremely heartless to laugh when a
tale of distress Is being told, yet this
occurs frequently among those NOV
ing in what is considered the most eX-
elusive society, which be 1t under
stood, is not a term synonymous with
we'll bred, although it is looked upon
as such. A thoroughly well-bred
person is mindful of the feelings of
every one, from the highest to the
lowliest person he or she may come
in contact with, for thus in trIfles,
do good manners and breeding show.

Going Home.

They are going-only going
Jesus called them long ago;
All the wintry time they're passing
Softly as the falling snow.
When the violets in the spring time
Catch the azure of the sky,
They are carried out to slumber,
Sweetly where the violets lie.
They are going-only going
When with summer earth is drest,
In their cold hands holding roses
Folded to each silent breast;
When the autumn hangs red banners
Out among the harvest sheaves,
They are going-ever going
Thick and fast, like falling leaves.
ALI along the mighty ages,
All adown the solemn time,
They have taken up their homeward
March to that serener cline.
Where the watching, waiting angels
Lead them from the shadow dim,
To the brightness of His presence
Who has called them unto Him.
They are going-only going
Out of pain and into bliss;
Out of sad and sinful weaknesss
Into perfect holiness.
4 Snowy brows-no care shall shade them;
Bright eyes-tears shall never dim;
Rosy lips-no time shall fade them;
Jesus called them unto Him.
Little hearts forever stainless,-
Little hands as pure as they
Little feet by angsel guided.
Never a forbidden way!
They are going-ever going
Leaving many a lonely spot;
But it's Jesus who has called them
Suffer, and forbid them not!

most as hard and heavy as if it were
made of iron. An opening is made
to admit the filling and fuse, and the
shell is now thoroughly dried and is
then ready for the charge"
"How great charge IS put in
these shells?
GA twelve-inch shell receives a
tremendous charge, composed of six
teen pounds or 5000 bright colored
or magnesium stars and due pro-
portion of explosive filling. At one
of the holes in an aperture is
fixed the fuse so adjusted as to burn
long enough to allow the shell to at
tain its maximum height and begin
to descend before it communicates
with the bursting charge and scatters
it's brilliant burden. To the oppo-
site hole is attached a paper cone, or
better still, flannel bag containing
a charge of gunpowder carefully pro-
portioned to the fuse. To insure the
ignition of the fuse and the powder
at the same time, line of quick
match is conducted from the fuse,
and continued in long string which
hangs outside the mortar. Fire is
applied to the quick match, the fuse
is lighted, the propelling charge of
gunpowder ignited and the she'll shot
into the air with gorgeous effect"
"Roman candles are always pretty
and effective-especially among the
ladies. How are they made?"
Every careful adjustment is need
ed in the making of Roman candles,
as the great thing is to have the diff
ferent colored balls turn out with ex-
actly the same force SO as to play in
the same sphere. The fiery balls of
color are little Jumps of composition
filed into the case, and separated
from each other by layer of dark
fire, a little charge of gunpowder
which blows them into the air, and If
the charges were all alike, every ball
would be thrown out little further
than its predecessor, because the
deeper in the case an explosion takes
place the more violent it is, the re-
sistance being greater. To obviate
this the charge of powder is made to
increase as the tube fills up, hence
the largest charge is nnder the first
ball. The workman who fills a Ro
man candle has before him a series
of little scoops of different sizes fol
measuring the powder, and uses then
in succession, the smallest being used
for the first ball put in, and the larg
est for the mouth of the tube. The
dark fire that l spoke of as going be
tween is a composition which only
shoulders, and does not burn dowl
to the second ball until the first has
pirouetted with grace through the air.
"And the gorgeous colors, how dt
you get them?"
"Chemistry comes to our aid. Ar
senite of copper and sal ammonia
makes beautiful blue; chlorate O
baryta when fired produces dazzling
green; sal ammoniac, when combin
ed with coloring substances, give
depth and intensity; chlorate of pot
ash generates the gas which give
fireworks their velocity. Red is com
posed of strontia, the nitrate, sui
phur and potash, and / tell you
