Boys Should be Toughened.

Prince Albert's father was of opinion
that one of the most important things
in education is to teach children to bear
pain with composure. He never in
flicted pain upon his sons, but if they
suffered from tootnache, or any other
bodily inconvenience, he would not al
low them to complain or cry out.
They were expected to seek the proper
remedy, but, in the meantime, bear 1t
in silence THAT is, without inficting
pain upon others. .
Prince Albert followed this system
in bringing up his own children, and
his son, the Prince Of Wales, acted up
on it also. A guest at sandringham
was much surprised when one of the
Prince of Wales children fell upon an
oaken floor with great violence, to see
him get up, rub himself a little, and
limp away without assistance or SYM
pathy from any one, though both the
child's parents were present.
The guest was informed that this was
the rule of the house, the idea being to
accustom the children to endue pain
and inconvenience, Of which princes
and princesses have an ample share,
There is, in truth, no profession In
Europe more arduous and sxacting
than that of prince. 8
But we all have to bear an immense
amount of pain. We all have to do
many things that we do not want to
do, and to abstain from doing many
things we very much want to do.
This is the human lot, and there is no
possibility of avoiding it. No people
suffer so much as those who rebel
against this law of our being, and no
people suffer so little as those who
cheerfully accept it.
The hardening system can be carried
too far, but surely it is an essential
part of training to acquire the power.
TO endure inevitable pains with some
resolution and dignity.
We heard the other day of family
Of seven persons, no two OF whom
could take the same kind of drink at
breakfast. One had to have coffee;
one must have green tea; another
would be wretched without black tea
another knew no joy in life until she
had her chocolate; another compro-
missed upon cocoa the sixth could on
ly drink milk, and the seventh water.
These people had cultivated and in
dulged their preferences until they
thought their special beverage essen
tial to the prolongation of their lives.
Many mothers sedulously nourish
such fancies, and soften their darlings
by bestowing torrents of sympathy up
on every bruise and bump. Boys soon
acquire the habit of exaggerating their
lnishaps, and learn how to get the
dainties they delight in by pretending
to loathe the food that is good for
them. ,..-E
"Don't give that puppy any meat"
says the dog doctor. "But he won't
eat anything else," replies the boy.
"Then," rejoins the healer of dogs,
"leave his meal with him till he does
eat it." -
AS it is with dogs, so it Is with boys.
Foolish fancies depart from boys whom
they are so happy as to have a keen
appetite, and the boy who knows that
no one will pick him up and kiss him
will get up himself and rub his own
head If it is bruised. >A
Youths Companion.

HEALTH HINTS.-One cannot be

HEALTH HINTs.-One cannot be
healthy who is not happy.
No person lives rightly whose spirit
is controlled by bodily appetites.
Food which is nutritious and not
stimulating is the best for habitusl
use.
AS people we eat one third too
much. We should be brighter and
more intelligent if we ate less.
Regulate the diet of person and
the moral perception takes on the
power to act righteously.
We insult the Master by abusing
our bodies.
The use of tobacco deadens the NOR
al sense. Tobacco is a great drunkard-
maker.
Two things a man does not often for
get-his first love and his first smoke.

Oklahoma.

The prosposed Oklahoma Territory
includes two great slices of the Indian
Territory and the long strip of land
known as "No Mans Land" and
comprises over eleven and one-half
million acres. BY the treaties of Aug.
IL and 16, 1866, the Creeks ceded to
the United States the west half Of their
entire domain, about 2, 402, ,42S acres, at
thirty cents per acre, and the Semi
noles their entire domain, 2.O3S,4l4
acres, at fifteen cents per acre. The
land was purchased for the purpose, as
expressed in the treaty, of locating on
it friendly Indians and freedmen, the
latter those who had been slaves
among the Indians. A portion only
of this ceded territory was used for the
purpose specified. The remaining por-
ton, right in the center of the Indian
Territory, and comprising 1887, 800
acres, constitutes Oklahoma proper.
In addition to this the Springer bill
included in the proposed Territory the
"Cherokee outlet" of 6,0222, 244 acres,
bounded on the north by Kansas, on
the west by "No Mans Land" and
Texas, on the east by the Cherokee re-
servation, and on the south by the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservation
and Oklahoma proper. This vast re-
gion is unsettled, fertile, well watered,
suitable for either grazing or farming.
The public land strip, included in
Oklahoma Territory, and popularity
known as "No Mans land" from. the
fact that it has never been included in
any territory, is bounded east and west
by the Tooth and 1OSth meridians,
north by the thirty-seventh parallel
and south by 800 3V 1t is 176 miles
long and thirty-four and a-half miles
wide, and contains 3.672,34O acres. 1t
has population of about 5000 squat
ters, is fertile and well watered. The
squatters have quasi government, the
so-called capital being Beaver, on the
North Canadian River. TO recapitu-
late, the proposed Territory of Oklaho-
ma consists as follows:
Cherokee Outlet, 6,022, PA acres
No Mans Land, 3,672,640
oklahoma proper, 1887 $40 "
Total 1l,3S2,6S4
Should the trip of territory in dis
pute between the United States and
Texas finally be allotted to the Nation
al Government, it will also he included
in Oklahoma, increasing the area to
"a, 779,S acres, an area about equal to
the State of OhiO.-PhiladeLohia In

1t takes one a whole lifetime to
learn how to live; in fact, one never
learns the true value of time and op-
portunity until time and opportunity
are about to be taken from him and he
stands on the border of eternity. One
should do his best and live his best
every day.
If a man were to sit down at the ta-
BILE and think and think about his din
nor instead of eating it, he would
probably starve. And it is not other
wise with religious truth. To be al
ways thinking about it, and never re-
ceiving or using it, is to starve our
selves and the world too.

STANLEY'S SAFETY.

The mystery about Henry M Stanley e
whereabouts is preserved while an assur-
ance of his safety is published. The
British government has received letters
from the explorer, which It withholds
from publication for official reasons not
given, but promises soon to give to the
world. There is no particular use under
the circumstances of specializing con-
corning the matter, yet it seems safe to
say that Stanley does not intend to re-
turn without accomplishing something
and that Lieut.. Kerkhoven's dispatch up
the Congo at the head of an expedition
which was TO camp on the Aruwiml, in
Dictated a substantial reinforcement OF
the Stanley expedition. Unless Emin
has broken down, of which there is no
likelito God, he will not return with Stan
ley under any conditions. Last year he
reviewed all the possibilities, and has de-
aided that he would not leave his people
whom he had through II years labor
raised out of barbarism and to whom he
felt that he owed a sacred duty. But he
asked of England, from whose hero Cor
don he had received his government, to
bring about better understanding with
Uganda and provide his people with free
and safe access to the coast. If it be
true that the Arabs have possession of
Uganda, the fret object would prove as
difficult as the last, and both would in
volve a war of no inconsiderable pro
portions, which England is nowise likely
to undertake. But it may be possible for
England through Stanley to open way
to the outer world by the Aruwimi and
Congo. The search party of Thomas
Stevens, though it's primary purpose may
be forastalled by certain information OF
Stanley, will have enough to do In Its
second and continuing mission, the in
vestigation of the African slave trade
though perhaps quite enough is known
about that now FOR ell practical purposes
