The Man and the Boy.

Boys are quick to learn, and you have
only to get them interested in thing to
teach them how to do it. When you set
them at new piece of work, explain it to
them. Tell them not only how to do this
or that thing, but why you do it. Explain
the reasons for it, and let them do the think
ing for themselves Encourage them to be
self-reliant, and when they have done any
thing well, give them the credit to which
they are entitled. Treat the boy as if he
were man-for he is, on smaller scale
than yourself-and he will act like man.
Take him into your own confidence, and
make companion of him, and he will sur
prise you by his manliness and his sensible
ideas. These ideas may be crude, but the
germ of sense is in them, and it is your duty
to assist in their development in every way.
Too many men make their boysfeel that
they are of little or no account while they
are boys. Lay responsibility on boy,
and he will meet it in manful spirit. On
no account ignore their disposition to in
yestigate. Help them to understand things.
Encourage them to know what they are
about. We are too aptto treat boy 5 seek
ing after knowledge as mere idle curiosity.
"Don't ask questions, is poor advice to
boys. Ifyou do not explain puzzling things
to them, you oblige them to make expert
ments before they find out, and though exI'
perimental knowledge is best in one sense,
in another it is not, for that which can be
explained clearly does not need experiment.
ing With. If the principle involved is un-
derstood, there is no further trouble, and
the boy can go ahead intelligentIy

washington,a Shade Trees.

The Park Commission have submitted
their report for the last fiscal year to the
Commissioners. 1t is the duty of this
commission to look after the shade trees of
the city.
They report that the number of young
trees set out during the year was 3,113,
making total of 64,920 shade trees now
on the streets and avenues,
There were Gao old and decayed trees
removed, 55 were destroyed by the blizzard
of March II to II, % were destroyed by
the storm Of June %, while there were
1000 broken. This disaster occurred prin-
cipally in Georgetown and the northwest
sections. The boxes have been removed
from ,440 large trees and converted into
boxes for young trees Wire netting has
been put around 4, ,636 trees to protect them
from injury by horses.
In speaking on the desirahility of remoy-
ing the boxes from trees, the Commission
ers think substitute for the boxes, so far
at least as preventing injury by horses, has
been found in the light wire netting adopt
ed during the year. The netting they say
effectually answers the purpose of a box, is
neater, more enduring, furnishes the least
possible amount of harbor for insects, ad-
mits of whitewashing the trees when ne
cessary, and costs less than half the price
of boxes.
1t is recommended that the trees in park
inss and many on sidewalks be removed, be,
cause they are Instructions, but more par
ticularly because they make too dense a
shade and keep the suns rays off the houses
and thus cause dampness and mould, con
ditions well known as foundation feT
disease. They recommend that an addi-
tional appropriation of $4,000 be made for
wire netting. The appropriation at pres
ent is $4,000

A Blackhead Cure.
From Herald of Health.

From Herald Of Health,
Blackhead is generally supposed to be
kind of skin worm, but this a false idea
The truth is simply this; The skin, either
from the lack of cleanliness or activity, or
both, has failed to remove the waste ma
terials from the pores, and the blackhead
is formed from dirt adhering to the oily
substance of the gland. 1 was recently ex-
planning to friend what blackheads were,
he having some on his face, and he imme-
diately exclaimed, "My face is not dirty"
"No," l said, ''of course not; but do you
use soap when you wash your face p" No,
he did not. "And do you rub your face
hard and dry after washing?" No, he did
not; he thought rubbing would make the
face red, and it was red enough now.
That is exactly why his face was red and
sore with pimples. 1t had not been rubbed,
FIR that process stimulates the circulation
of the blood in these parts which cause a
healthy action of the skin and removes the
waste matter from the glands.
What l have been trying to convey is
just so sure as you use plenty of good soap
and water and then rub your face hard un-
til it is perfectly dry and smooth, once a
day-but the oftener the sooner the good
results will show-just so sure will you
make great improvements in your com
plexion. Only rub little carefully until
you have toughened the skin and you will
soon be surprised to find what amount of
rubbing it will bear. Hard rubbing will
make the skin as fine as silk, and to the
touch it will feel like satin.

And the gray in the dark brown hair

Never grow old TO me"
For age is the chilling Of heart
And thine, as mine can tell -
