A BOYS SCHOOL LIFE.
The Head Master of a Famous Institution
Expresses His Views.


A boys school life, so far as it falls
within the view of this paper, is broadly
divisible into three parts The first of
these extends from the age of ten to
thirteen or fourteen, the second from
fourteen to sixteen, the third from six
teen to the end. In the first his educa-
tion will be limited to the subjects of
primary and universal value, and to
these treated simply and effectively.
He will learn Latin and French and
elementary mechanics, English gram
mar, history and geography, and such
simple facts of nature as can be taught
in the open air. So far he will remain
in the hands of his preparatory school
master. Between thirteen and fourteen
he will pass into the public school. IL
he begins his public school life earlier,
he will be too young to bear its liberty;
if later, he will be too old to imbibe its
spirit. Soon afterward it will be neces-
sary to decide whether the literary part
of his education shall take it's color
from the literature of the ancient or Of
the modern world in other words,
whether he shall or shall not learn
Greek. If he learns Greek it will nec-
essarily occupy much of his time in the
next two years; if not he will expend
the time SO saved upon German and adj
ditional French or mathematics. These
are the years, too, in which he will best
acquire the indispensable minimum of
scientific knowledge. But neither in
these years nor at any later time will
he be permitted to abandon the main
body of the primary subjects although
it may happen that toward the end of
his school life he will not retain his
hold upon them all. At sixteen he will
make the great choice of his life. In
making it he will be guided by his
tastes, faculties, needs and opportuni-
ties. Whatever it be that he is led to
study in the four great educational
lines-classical, Mathematical, modern
and scientific-he will devote at least
half his time to it. 1t may we'll be
hoped that an education so definite, yet
80 elastic, will correspond to the large
variety Of educational demands

Married at the Right Time.

A story reaches Woman, of London,
from the somewhat out OF the way re-
gion Of Petaluna. All was going merrily
at very interesting wedding in the
town Until the bridegroom was called
upon to produce the wedding ring
In vain he felt in his trousers pocket
for the missing trifle. Nothing could be
found except hole through which the
ring had evidently fallen into his high
boot. What was he to do? "Take your
boot off," said the parson. Tho young
man, sitting on the altar rails, removed
his boot, the ring was found-also hole
in the stocking, which led the worthy
divine to remark: "Young man, 1t Ia
time YOU were married."

Why Cobblers Wear Glasses.

"Do you know why all Chinese cob
blers wear spectacles?' said San Fran
cisco friend to me as we were walking
through Mott street together yesterday
taking in the sights. ''No? Then / will
tell you. 1t is recorded in Chinese his
tory that once upon time a cross-eyed
cobbler who mended the noble shoes of
Confucius had red pepper thrown in his
eyes by his hot-tempered spouse, and
would have been unable to see straight
for a month after but that his learned
patron loaned him pair of spectacles
which not only made him see perfectly
at once, but also took the squint out Of
his eyes. The sequel of the happy cure
was that the cobbler's wife, deceived by
the miracle in his eyes, refused to be-
lieve that he was her husband, and per-
mitted him to pass the remainder of his
life in single blessedness. Since then
every Chinese cobbler from New York
to Shanghai wears spectacles to protect
him from red pepper, strabismus and
bad wives. IN. Y. Star.

1t is pointed out as one of the conse-
auences of the universal introduction of
smokeless powder which is now immi-
nent, that, as soldiers will have to seek
all possible cover, it will be necessary
to multiply the number of orderlies and
messengers, and the Commander-in-
Chief will have to take his position in
the centre of action to watch every
thing and be ready to modify the orig
inal plan, swiftly If needful. The
change from brilliant uniforms to those
of soberer and safer hues will involve
such expense that it is likely to be de.

WORSHIP OF WEALTH.
The Most Foolish Form of Idolatry the
World Has Ever Known.


World Has Ever Known.
1t is astonishing to observe how false
standards of manhood come to be re-
garded as true standards and worshiped
| by the masses. Throughout the history
of the world mankind has had its eyes
fastened on the shadow to the neglect
of the substance that casti it. Men of little
worth have always been looked up to by
men of genuine worth. The trappings
of the king have ever drawn the applause
of the multitude. Fine clothing has
passed as a mark of merit and standing.
Wealth has blinded the world to the de-
fects of character, the stupidity of intel
lect and not infrequently absolute re-
pplsiveness.
Wealth indicates nothing, except that
it's possessor has capacious pocket and
the knack OF filling it. Fools, absolute
fools, as judged from fair standpoint,
some times get rich; ignorance that is
deep as the ocean and black as midnight
gets rich, immortality of the blackest
shade becomes wealthy, and the mean
est men on earth live in elegant houses
and ride in splendid equipages. The
man who worships wealth is the most
foolish idolator that the world ever saw.
He bends the knee to what he knows is
soulless, meaningless and powerless ex-
cept for this foolish idolatry, while the
real idol worshiper supposes that there
is really something within or behind the
object of his worship that can speak and
act. Wealth gets its power from the
subserviency of those who are not rich.
1t fiaunts it's elegance before the world
because it knows that tho world will
open its eyes and mouth in devout ad.
miration. 1t buys its way to place and
power because people who admire
wealth so much that they desire to be
wealthy are purchasable.
There is just one standard of social,
political and commercial standing that
is worthy OF regard, and that is manhood
and usefulness. There are more turkeys
| than peacocks in the world; more pota'
toes than diamonds; more wheat fields
than oven beautiful flower beds, because
in every thing, except in the estimate
of mon, roal substantial value Is re-
garded as preferable to the simple Or
namental. A loafer is loafer even II
he is robed in dress suit; villain is
villain though no do live in palace,
and despicably mean man Is Just as
despicably mean with millions OF dol
lars to his credit in the bank, as he
would be if he were pauper; while on
the other hand the man who who is
good citizen-a good husband and father
and neighbor, is worthy OF all the re-
spect the heart can give him, even
though his daily life is spent in the very
humblest drudgory. o, for the time
when man, the noblest work OF God, and
the most splendid ornament OF the
world, shall hide in the estimation oil
the world, the liieless, soulless dollar;
when manhood and not gold shall DO inc

Tho Dangers OF the City.

1t is only few years since, says In
spector Byrnes, in an article on crimi-
nails and confidence men, that a promi-
nent actor, great practical joker, now
deceased, was walking homo late at
night, accompanied by visitor who had
just arrived from the country. They
were on Fifth avenue, near Twenty
third street, whom they noticed an ordi,
nary street row going on on tho other
side of the street. The foreigner asked
his friend what it was all about, and the
actor, seeing o chance for little fun at
the visitors expense, replied: "Oh!
suppose it's some fellow being killed, I
stumble over dead man nearly every
night on my way home from the thea
teri" Our rural residents hear so much
about the wickedness of the great city
that it is not surprising they should ex-
pect to behold sort OF municipal pam
demonium. The rural father who told
his son, about to visit New York, that
he mustn't step on a coal lid, because
he knew they were trap doors to let
countrymen down into cellars, where
they were murdered anJ robbed, prob
ably really believed his grewsome tale.

John read it again and again; the more
he read it, the more queer it appeared
to him. True, he had reached position
in business that was most satisfactory;
wealth he possessed beyond a doubts
was healthy, belonged to fashionable

THE "ONDUlATEUR."

Affected by Paris Beauties.
Paris now possesses a fashionable
hair-dresser who promises to become as
famous in local folklore as any of his
predecessors who attended to the ton
sorial requirements of great people in
the past. This artist, who conducts his
operations in modest shop not far from
the opera house, has eclipsed all an
cient and modern coiffures in the super
iority of his mode of imparting a crisp,
wavy or undulating friz to ladies' locks.
On this account a new name will proba-
bly, have to be added to the historical
dictionary of the French Academy, for
the rising hair-dresser is called an ''on-
dulateur," the old word friseur being al
together inadequate to describe his mar
velous art in manipulating tresses.

beauties have already passed through
