HONOR AMONG THE BOOT
BLACKS.

A reporter called to a little bootblack
near the City Hall to give him shine.
The little fellow came rather slowly for
one OF that lively guild, and planted his
box down under the reporters foot. Be-
fore he could get his bru shes out another
larger boy ran up, and calmly pushing
the little one aside, said, "Here, you go
sit down, Jimmy" The reporter at once
became indignant at what he took to
be piece of outrageous bullying, and
sharply told the new conner to clear out.
''Oh, OATS all right, boss" was the reply.
"Fm only goin' to do it for him; you see
he's been sick in the hospital for morn a
month and can't do much work yet,

asked the reporter, turning to the smaller
boy. "Yes, sir" YEARLY replied the boy.

they amt got no job themselves, and

him on job?" "Heyr queried the
youngster. II don't know what you
mean?' 81 mean, what part of the money
do you give Jimmy, and how much do
you keep at of it?" "You bet yer life I
don't keep none; amt no such sneak as

reporter handed the urchin a quarter,
saying, II guess you're pretty good fell

II very delicate, it may be necessary to
wash the whole plant, but the older
leaves are seldom attacked, and are apt
to wrinkle if dampensd. Grasses, sedges
and ferns do not require this. Immedi-
ately after washing, dry them under pre- -
sure at first, using lighter weight.
Now, il you are in earnest about hav-
ing an herbarium, and want to do really
scientific work, get some sheets of Man
lila draughting paper, which when
doubled, will measure seventeen inches
along the folded edge by twelve inches
wide. They will cost two or three cents
apiece. The botanists call these genus
covers. You know a genus is division
OF family or order. You might better
use them for family covers at first, and it
is good plan to use lead pencil for any
writing you may need to do on it, so that
you can erase it if you wish to substitute
the name of the genera. We will suppose
you are going to mount the marsh-mari-
Colds. Print or write on this cover, in
the low, left-hand corner next to the
folded edge, the family name, ranun-
clace@, and if you choose, after that, in a
parenthesis, crowfoot.
Next you need single sheets Of smooth,
white paper, sixteen and half by eleven
and half inches. Light drawing paper
could be used, but the real mounting
sheets are cheaper, costing about a cent
apiece. Fasten the specimen to the sheet
with narrow strips of isinglass court
plaster. You will find it easier to moisten
one end of long strip, put it where you
want it, and then cut if, than to cut it the
proper length before FASTING. Now cut
a slip of unruled writing paper perhaps
two and a quarter by four inches-and
write on it lengthwise

under the date to add the time and place

A REGULAR BOY.

He was not at all particular
To keep the perpendicular
While walking, for he either skipped or
jumped.
He stood upon his head awhile,
And, when he went to bed awhile,
He dove among the pillows, which he thumped
He never could keep still bit;
The lockers on thought ill of it,
He balanced on his ear the kitchen-broom;
And did some neat trapezing,
Which was wonderfully pleasing,
On every peg in grandpa's harness.room.
From absolute inanity,
The cat approached insanity
To see him slide the banister, so rash;
But once on that mahogany,
While trying to toboggan, he
Upset his calculations with crash!
And since that sad disaster
He has gone about in plaster
Not of Paris, like nice Italian toy
But the kind the doctor uses,
When the bumps and cuts and bruises
Overcome little regular live boy!

The author bases his argument
on the Scriptures throughout;
and unfolds his conclusions in
the luminous light of the in
spired Record. Incidentally he
shows the impotence of much
of the speculation and philoso-
ply entertained at the present
day. The book has grown out
of Dr.. Quinby's work as an ed
itor in answering in the columns
of his newspaper the questions
of correspondents anxious to
learn the views of Universalists
on the subject of the Resurrec-
ton Life. Written in a clear,
direct and familiar style, it
meets a very general want, and
will build up its readers in the
faith and hope of the New Tes-
