Is There ANY Reason Why7

Is there any reason why boy who is
well, and in the full possession of his
faculties, including the use of his legs,
should not wait on himselff
There are so many families where it
seems that all the women in the house are
needed to wait on one boy.
Breakfast must wait for Johnny. John
ny Doesn't feel like getting up in the
morning. Johnny must have hot water
carried up to his room. Johnny's over
coat, and cap, and mittens, and school
books, must be hunted up for him, and
somebody must run up stairs after his
clean handkerchief, and down stairs after
his lunch; and until he is well out OF the
house the female members Of his family
are at their wits end to attend to his
wants.
Now what on earth is to prevent that
boy from waiting on himselff What IL
20 hinder him from getting up in the
m 1rning, aud eating his breakfast like
other peopleH What reason is there why
he capnot hnd his own cap aud shoes
Where g the need of his mothers toiling
up stairs to get him a hsndkerchisfs
Again, Let Us look at the room OF the
average boy. Bed clothes strewn on the
hoer; burnt matches on the bureau; all
the drasers out at their full capacity
clean clothes tumbled over, and soiled
linen thrown down anywhere; towels OIL
the door; SOAP left to soak itself away in
the wash bowl; carelessness and confusion
everywhere!
Now thele is not the slightest need OF
any such state of things If mothers will
emily commence right with their boys. 1t
Is Just as easy to train them to habits of
order and nestuess, and by and by when
they become fairly men, their wives will
bless their stars that they married men
who had judicious mothers.
A boy Is like a oolt-you cannot begin
to train him too early. Teach him to
pick up his psythings end put them in
their proper places when he is done with
them. Never do for him any thing which

If there is any word in the English
language which is more a favorite, aud
more familiar than any othe-, 1t would
seem to be the word "baby." It must,
one would think, be as old "a the language
itself, and yet the word baby is not
genuine English word after all. Oar
learned men derive 10 from the Irish bah,
baban, or the Welsh baban, meban. 1he
Freuch, however, who have the same word,
but who spell il bebe, insist that il is OF
French origin and tell this curious story
OF it's beginning: In the French tongue,
a fnal r, following the vowel e, is not
sounded. Formerly this was also the
case with the final /. Bel-Bel, mesning
"pretty one"-a term applied to children
was thus shortened TO bebe, aud grad
ually passed from the French into other
languages. 1t is much more likely how
ever, that the word is due TO the process
which learned men call onomatopea.
THIS is long and very hard word, not to
be pronounced readily even by school
masters. 1t means the forming of word
by imitation of the sound made by the
thing itself. Two such words are buzz
which signifies the noise made by insects
and crackle, the noise of the burning or
breaking of twigs. Thus the WORDS baby,
bebe and the like, may we'll have been
borrowed from the babbiing attempts of
the babies themselves. The child is call
ed baby because he says ba- ba or some
thing like il before he says any thing else.
Perhaps il ia q mere accident that in fants
are not called ah,goos instead of babies.

Bank Presidents, Adventures


S. 8. Rickley, president of bank at Col
umbus, Ohio, hao an exciting adventure
several years ago. He was in his private
Office when man entered and demanded
$50 The president kindly told him thathe
could not spare it. The man presented
a pistol and fired, the ball passing through
Mr.. r ckley's eyes and making him to-
tally blind for life. Instead of escaping
then, the man blew ont his own brains.
Recently Mr.. Rickley heard of the affair
in which Mr.. Moffat, the Denver banker,
was robbed by man who entered bis
private office and forced him, under
threats, to pay him large sum of money
The blind man at once sat down and wrote
Mr.. Moffat the following letter: 81 am
still living but totally blinded aud am
having this written for your comfort by
an smanueDsis. OF course life is very
sweet, and il is gratifying 10 possess
that which ali men aim TO get-mcney
and possession-but oh! how much
sweeter would the light of day, at least to
mt, without one dollar of money or one
foot of ground; and you, my dear fellow
banker, may congratulate yourself ana
yours on your fortunate escape. We
now have our windows screened, our
counters screened, and | might cay, our
conscience screened. The door to my
private room is constantly locked, ana
no one admitted unless he be known OF
can identify himself. Generally the lessons
of experience are much dearer than those
of observation. Congratulate you again
on your fortunate escape with only the loss
of money, which you can doubtless make
up in short time, remain, yours very
