f,tvE uEEp TO HOME TALENT.

0kV u HEED AZ k1OVNEs AAAsANSs
The homes of farmers are more to
them than those OF persons residing
in more populOus places, especially
il the farm house is as isolated as
the majority are. The reasons are
very plain All the members OF the
family are necessarily more confined
to home for society and general re-
sources. This being the case it be-
hoyoes them to cultivate whatever
will contribute most to the general
comfort and welfare of the home.
There is almost no escape from
things that ale disagreeable in their
home, and there is likewise great in
convenience in procuring outside as
sistance in time Of need.
Next to being amiable and oblig-
ing in the home circle is the faculty
of being useful. Some people claim
that this is special gift, and that
those not blest with it might as well
try to be artists. poets, or musicians,
without the divine affiatus as to be
equal to the universal demands OF
their fellow creatures without this
gift. In most families may De found
the ready member, to whom all turn
in their time of need; but it will u.s.
ually be clear to those who are fa-
miliar with the ways Of the house,
that if this is due to any gift, it has
for it's foundation spirit of helpful
ness to which is attributable the Gull
tivation OF suck talents as nature af-
fords.
There are, however, special talents
to which we willingly yield all that
is claimed, and they are likely to
crop out in any family of children,
but their elders are not sharpsighted
enough to recognize them. They
see that one or another is handy at
this or that, and perhaps make some
use of their efforts; but oftener the
busy farmer will value more a few
hours, work in the field and discour-
age tinkering as if it were mere
waste of time. In this way genius
is often nipped in the sud, and be-
sides this, the household loses TIE
valuable services of q handy memb-
er.
IL clock can be put in order,
scissors sharpened. chairs, sewing
machines and furniture generally re-
paired by the home genius, there
will probably be much more saved
than the value OF the time to the field
work, to say nothing Of the comfort
of having things done when needed
instead of being dependent upon
distant and disobliging mechanics.
1t far better, therefore, to encourage
tinkering, even though time and
material may seem to be wasted in
the attempt, and when it takes the
fern of invention there is the more
reason for its encouragement. There
is, it seems to me, better chance
for the development OF real genius
iu the quiet, uneyentful life of country
life than in the hustle of trade and
workshops, if only there is sufficient
demand TO call it into play. 1t is
therefore, richly worth Shile TO
watch and encourage every sign Of
native talent within our own house
holds.

Italians Not Good Soldiers.

Italians, the veteran diplomatist goes
ON TO say, may become good diplomatists,
sound ~jurists and successful merchants,
but they will never be soldiers in the true
sense of that word. Take their splendid
fleet of ironclads, for example, and mar
shall it in battle array against a French
English, Russian or German squadron
commanded by a French, an English, J
Russian or Il German admiral, and the DIS
Hster of Lissa will be rehearsed over again.
Much of this ~incapacity for successful
military achievement is due to want of
training on the part of the officers. In
Italy there are many military schools that
are well attended; but in them, as in the
universities, there is a fatal lack of sever.
ity in the examinations, and once the
student has left school he is never after
ward seen with a book in his hand.
1t is for this reason that we find the
officers in command of the Red Sea *
dition committing precisely the same err,
rors that their predecessors fell into in
1919 and 1866, The Italian officer seems
to be concerned about only one thing-the
effect that he is producing on the women
and on the bystanders in general, and ]

tons, who never forgot, before going into
the street, to arrange their hats and to
look into a glass.-Paris Cor. New York

ladies, induced to attend for three
years an industrial school at Howard

We found these children of the lowest

The moral uplifting was the best result
CT all, and it is not likely that these
boys will become members of our

Each boy as he entered the class was
taught in the tailor shop to mend his
clothes, and in the shoe shop to mend
his shoes. One lame colored boy from
the orphan asylum became SO skillful
in shoemaking that he could not only

Speculation is a business that must be
studied as n speciality, and though it is
popularity believed that any man who has
money can speculate, yet the ordinary
man, without special training in the bust
ness, is liable TO make as great q mistake
in this attempt as the man who thinks he
can act as his own lawyer and who is said
Ito have a fool for u client" The com
mon delusion that expert knowledge is
not required in speculation has wrecked
many fortunes and regulations in Wall
street. and is still very influential in it's
pernicious and ilusory achievements.
Professional advice In Wall street, as
n legal affairs, is worth paying for, and
costs far less in the end than the chief
points" that are distributed profusely
around the street, thick as autumn leaves
in ~Vallambrosa, and which only allure
the innocent SPECTATOR to put his money
where he is almost certain to lose it. My

Tho Increase of Badness.

1t is curious how caducity has in
creased, and the prevalence of it taken
away the old reproach. All the argu-
ments are against its existence, and
ell tho facts prove that the arguments
are misleading. Pcoplc lead healthier
lives now than they used to do, and
yet they are balder. People lead
longer lives, and yet they grow bald
earlier, and, moreover, it is the
healthiest people who are often
the baldest. Indeed, it almost be
comes a question whether in
these days badness is evidence to o
very reliable extent either of age or OF
dclicacy. OF the decay of vital power
it is certainly no conclusive proof.
Consumptive patients and persons suf-
fering from lingering disease are not,
as a rule, bald, and more frequently
than otherwise seem to put a great
deal of strength'into their hair. Lon

Bishop Heber wrote it while in Ceylon

Mason, afterward so celebrated, who
was just a few steps down the street,
ard who had a reputation as a musical
genius. So she sent her son to ask
him to write a tune that would go

the boy came back with the music,

Hr Holmes view Of conversation i,
extremely autocratic, and would be
~intolerable to a democratic people like
tho French. In his opinion the cnr.
dlnal offense is interruption; the lit
cral and unimaginative interrupter is
tie individual he denounces, but it is
plain that it is the fact of the Interrupt

he might say, that really ~exasperate3
him. French conversation is in great

With us the analogous triumph is
TO state some truth, sentiment, fact
most felicitously and to draw from it
some opposite conclusion. Hence the
the little preachments, anecdotes, SER
monettes which season our dinners.
