Wholesome Food.

Those who are spending thier pow
ers in providing entertainment for the
young Imagination, whether through
any irresistible inclination to write, or
through need of the money thus
brought in, have tremendous respon-
sibility, which many of them do not
seem in any way to recognize. If it
is in the first case that they are
prompted to write, they should be very
sure that they have something to say
worth saying, and in no wise detri-
mental to the young spirit in its for
native process; and in the latter they
should be doubly watchful of their
pens, the temptation of profit and
their own need coming in as powerful
allies of possible evil, or binding them
to the presence of such evil.
Not only should that which they
provide for the young be free from
wrong, or the suggestions of 1t, or
from anything that might, peradven-
ture, develop into wrong, but it should
be aggressively in the other direction,
not only innocent but useful, sound
and strong and true and healthy. By
demanding the true we do not mean
to exclude fancy and imagination, but
that even with their employment the
tone should ring true, and that all
false sentiment should be frowned at
as much as false fact, by which is in
tended statement of fact not true to
nature. While the marketman and
the provision dealer are feeding the
body, the writer is doing much toward
feeding the soul; and good deal of
the worthlessness of an impoverished
spiritual nature, an imbecile, poorly
stimulated, poorly equipped intellect,
may be laid at the door of whomso-
ever it is who furnishes intellectual
pabulum of poor quality.-Harper's
Bazaar.

Air I'm Water.

The phenomenon of air in water,
and the fact that in COMPRISING water
the air is not forced out has long been
an interesting subject of scientific
study, the simple explanation being
that water, as well as many other
liquids, has the property of absorbing
various gaseous substances without
thereby increasing in volume, and far
from reducing the capacity of the
liquid to absorb certain gas; the APP
plication of pressure increases it, the
law being substantially that the
amount of gas absorbed increases di-
rectly as the pressure increases, and
contrawise. Thus, if water at ordi-
nary atmospheric pressure will absorb
one-fourth Of its volume of air, at two
atmospheres it will absorb another
one fourth, at three atmospheres still
another fourth, and so on.
The capacity of water thus to hold
large volumes of gaseous substances
under pressure is well shown in the fa-
miliar example of carbonated waters.
These are bottled under considerable
pressure, the gas itself furnishing the
pressure, in order that they shall be-
come charged with great quantity of
the gas, which, being liberated as the
pressure is removed by drawing the
cork, gives rise to the well known
effervescence. In absorbing or dis
charging the gas, however, there is no
change in the volume of the liquid. =

Tho Law Prohibited.

Sol Smith Russell has hit upon new
excuse for declining to employ anna
teur actors and actresses. While he
was playing in small western town,
a few months ago, stage struck dam
sci called at his hotel and begged him
to engage her as a member of his
company. When asked to give an ex-
hibition of her powers as an amateur,
she said that she knew nothing that
she could recite, but if Mr.. Russell
would give her anything to study she
knew she could act.
"Why do you feel so confident of
your acting powersa" dryly asked Sol.
Because have genius" instantly
replied the young stage struck lady.
Genius, eh2" remarked Russell He
studied the floor for awhile, and then,
quickly looking up at the ambitious
little woman, he said, MY dear lady,
I would like to aid you in your desire
to shine as an actress, but the fact is
tie interstate commerce law prohibits
me from carrying an extra amount Of
genius, and my company is very near.

Young Hen.

The most anxious moment in the
history of young man is that mo-
ment when he forsakes the parental
roof and goes forth in the wide world
to seek livelihood. The interests of
life are crowded into that period. The
tears of mother, the counsels of a ia
Their, consecrate that >eventful mo-
ment. Away from home, old associ-
atoms, and settled in some new home,
how apt the former restraints are to be
cast Off The trial of virtue now
comes. The test of the principle is
now applied. If he holds fast in his in
tegrity, the prayers of his mother and
father, rising up when the still dews
are alling, will bring blessings, thick
as mamma that fell around the camp of
the Israelites, down upon his path.
But if he proves faithless, then will
his memory embitter his life, then
will his parents welcome the grave,
that they may hide their dishonor in
the dust.-Lewiston Journal.

Uniucky to XIII a Robin.

There is a widely spread belief
among schoolboys in many parts of
the country that it is unlucky to kill
robin, and it is generally supposed
that broken limb would be the prob
able punishment for so doing. Even
the nest of this bird is comparatively
safe, though why it should be thus fa-
vored is not quite clear, unless, as has
been suggested by some writers, it
owes its popularity to the story of the
''Babes in the Wood" which ballad
perhaps may also have given rise to
the popular notion that the robin will
cover with leaves or moss any dead
person whom it may chance to find.
There certainly, however, seems to be
no substantial reason why he should
BIZ more favored than the other men,
bers of the feathered tribe, for, after
all, he is very pugnacious and inn
pudent little fellow; but perhaps these
are the qualities which have brought
him into notice and made him popu-
lar.-Chambers' Journal.

Erect of Tobacco on noys.

An experimental observation OF
thirty-eight boys of all classes of So
ciety and of average health, who have
been using tobacco for periods rang
ing from two months TO two years,
has recently been recorded by Science.
Twenty-seven showed injury to the
constitution and insufficient growth
thirty-two showed the existence of ir-
Irregularities in the hearts action, dis
ordered stomach, cough and craving
for alcohol; thirteen had intermittent
cy of the pulse, and one had consump-
ton. After they had abandoned the
use of tobacco, within six months
time one-half were free from all their
former symptoms, and the remainder
had recovered by the end Of the year.

Medieval Belief In Miracles.

1t is not easy for a modern Protest
ant, still less for any one who has the
least tincture of scientific culture,
whether physical or historical, to pic
ture to himself the state of mind of a
man of the Ninth century, however
cultivated, enlightened and sincere he
may have been. His deepest convic-
tons, his most cherished hopes, were
bound up in the belief of the miracu-
lous. Life was a constant battle be-
tween saints and demons for the pos
session of the souls of men. The most
superstitiOus among our modern coun-
trymen turn to supernatural agencies
only when natural causes seem in
sufficient; to Eginhard and his friends
the supernatural was the rule, and the
sufliciency of natural causes was al
lowed only when there was nothing
to suggest others.
Moreover, it must be recollected
that the possession of miracle work
ing relics was greatly coveted, not
only on high but on very low grounds.
To a man like Eginhard, the mere
satisfaction of religious sentiment
was obviously powerful attraction.
But, more than this, the possession of
such treasure was an immense prac-
teal advantage. If the saints were
duly flattered and worshiped, there
was no telling what benefits might re-
suit from their interposition in your
behalf. For physical evils, access to
the shrine was like the grant of the
use of universal pill and ointment
mandatory; and pilgrimages there
to might suffice to cleanse the per-
formers from any amount of sim

Something absolutely shocking, by
way of antithesis to the philosophical
character Of what has gone before:
On one of the mountain trains the
other day, just when It's weary cargo of
belated vacationists mad come in sight of
the cleaning waters of Lake Winnip-
isaukee, freckled faced 15-year-old boy
with basket on his arm came ON board
at a small station.
Spruce gum? spruce gum" he called
out, with querulous, impertjnent little
interrogative quirls at the end Of the
word gum"
Spruce gum? ten cents package!"
A couple of giggling young women
bought a package. but a middle aged
and sour visaged woman who sat in the
seat behind them looked shocked beyond
expression that anything so vulgar as
spruce gum should be offered for sale on
the cars.
"No!" shouted the woman. And she
scowled ferooiously at the boy as he
paused with his basket.
Tell We what It's, ma'am,' said he,
bending over the seat little, but piping
the words out so that all in the car could
hear him, III give it to We already
started an only charge We the ten
cents!"
And then every body in the car thought
the sour faced woman was going to
faint.-Boston Transcript.
