The natur | qualifications for bill

eye, (2) steady hand, (3) quick and ac-
curate percepu IN OF angles, (4) grace
OF movement. To these should be add
ed that element OF success in all under
takings, persistence. Without all these
n boy had better take TO some other
game or business, for he can never de-
volop into anything better than very
moderate ylayer. Anyone may learn
the game so thoroughly that he can APP
preciate the finest play, and even see
how n shot must be made; but it is quite
n different thing to take cue in hand
and execute the shot. A mathemati-
clan might tell an expert player vol
ume OF facts about the angles OF play,

ting a cushion at given angle, the
amount and kind Of force required TO
send a ball from given point TO an
other and make Il given carom success

the expert would execute all the shots
discussed While the scientist would fail
on a simple carom.
Suppose, however, that young man
has all the natural qualifications for
playing, then he must without fail keep
his hand in after once beginning. A
good eye and u steady hand must be
trained. and an accurate idea OF angle $
must be developed until it becomes

The Discovery OF Oxygen,

Fixed air and combusti5ic air had
been speculatcd upon, and the air that
is left after combustion had attracted
attention. But the phenomena of this
kind, inconsistent as they were with
the phlOgistic theory, had not been suf-
ticient to overthrow it. The first germ
of Lavolsier's theory on these matters
was embodied in a sealed packet which
he deposited with the Academy in l770
Recognizing that the calcination of
metals could not take place without
the access of air, and that the freer
the access the more rapid the calcin a.
ton, he began to suspect" as he ex-
presses himself, that some elastic fluid
contained in the air was susceptible,
under many circumstances, of fixing
itself and combining with metals con-
vertel into cakes. From this thought
came, after much CROPPING with errOne-
Gus conclusions, the idea that air is a
compound containing Il vital part and
another part, aud that it is the vital
part that is absorbed. The behavior
OF charcoal when burning in oxygen
pointed to the nature Of that substan ce
and to the true theory OF combustion n.
This new vital substance, which, unit
ing with metals, formed cakes and
with other substances generated acids,
he called oxygen or the acid prsducer;
the air that was left after combustion
was azOte, or lifeless. The inlamml-
bic air which, combining with oxygen,
was found to form water, was called
drogen.-POpular Science Monthly.

The Secret City.

There's city, quaint and humble,
Peopled, yet obscure to eyes;
Yea, an unobserved city
In itself paradise.
There's a million kinds of people
Who are dwelling there to-day,
Bowed with wretche1 loads OF sorrow,
Trudging long in duty's way.
In this city is n structure
Being reared, yet never done:
Where they toll devoid of leisure,
And vacation days are none.
Every day doth raise the census,
Swell the city's thoroughfare;
Though we cannot see nor hear them,
They are born and buried there.
All the sorrows, pains and anguish,
Blasted hopes and broken vows,
Are recorded there forever
Written on the peoples brows.
All these people, oh, my reader,
or that city quaint, part,
Are the troubles Of q woman,
And the city is her heart.

Heaven.


The world is beautiful: but
Can see in all beneath the sky,
Proof that the Great Divinity
Designed that mortals,
To taste of perfect bliss, must fly
To heavens portals.
II not, why are our natures tried
BY longingS all unsatisfied.
Why do our towers reared with pride :,
TOtter and fall!
Why are the sweets on life's wayside
Mingled with gall'
Music and discord mingle here
The Joyous laugh, the bitter tear,
The sunshine and the storm-cloud drcar,
All in an hour,
BY turns will crush the heart and cheer
Such is earth's dover!
But there's land beyond the sky,
v here hope within us cannot die,
Where there is neither tear nor sigh,
Nor strife nor terror;
Where all is peace and harmony,
UnmiXed with error.
There, bathed in light, we'll stand before
The One who human sorrJws bore;
Who, houseleSs, famtsaed, sick, and sore,
Was yet mans friend;
And Will be wnen this life Is DER,
Time without end.
Oh, glorious home Oh, mansion blest
Thou recompense for life's unrest.
Close to the SaviOurs bosom prest,
How sweet to DO
Loved, pitied, comforted, caressed,
Eternally!

Few boys probably have any distinct
idea at ID OF making great experts of
themselves, and fewer parents would
choose such Il career for their chill
dren. Not that the calling of billiards.
Is low III any sense, but that the oppOr-
tunities for good income from it are not
generally recognized. 1t is looked up
on properly enough as u pastime, and
yet combining SO much mental and
physical science rs it does, it is emil
nently worthy OF the study required to
develop its possibilities on the part OF
those naturally qualified for the work.
This brings up an important point: not
everybody, even by the most patient
discipline, can become what | call q
good player. There are certain nat
ural publications that must be possess
ed by bill I'd player, just as there
are special talents for commerce, litera-
turc, the law or the art. Without
them a man had better content himself
with the fun of the game moderately
played, and in this he will find plenty
of recreation, genuine pleasure, and by
choosing his antagonists properly, n
great deal OF that mutation which is
the life OF all games and pursuits. 1t
is Il fact that beyond a certain point no
player can improve. This point varies
with each individual, but in each indi-
vidual it is absolutely fixed. 1t is pot
always reached by players, because
not everybody knows how to develop
his natural qualifications to their ut
most; but when that mas been done
the most persistent practice will add
Nothing to his effectiveness.
