GENUINELY BAD BOYS.
To Cure Them Requires Heroic Treat
ment at the Right Time.

To Cure Them Requires Heroic Treat.
ment at the Right Time.
There are some genuinely bad boys;
they are almost hopelessly bad; not only
boisterous and rude, but vicious, exas-
perating, desperate. They devote their
energies to devising ways and means Of
tormenting not other mean boys-a
mean boy is exempt from their arts
but the innocent. If they find an ami
NAL that is powerless to harm them,
they delight in tormenting it. The
more piteous its cry, the greater their
enjoyment. They are never quite so
happy as when they find way to make
good boy miserable, unless it be some
device for making a good woman
wretched. They focus all their wit
upon making the good and the innocent
OF this world suffer through their acts.
1t requires the highest human in
genuity and the greatest skill to do any
thing for them, or through them for the
good of the world. 1t is about as much
as the average philanthropist can hope
for, to protect the innocent from their
malice; and yet the fact remains that,
If properly dealt with, they often make
the grandest men in the world. They
have the energy, intensity and grit to
make mighty men, il only they can be
rescued from themselves 1t is of little
use to lay down any rules for dealing
with them; it requires an expert, a
genius in the art of training, to accom-
plish any thing with them or for them.
whoever has such a boy to deal with in
the home, school, church or society
should witness the training of q
vicious horse by the genius. There
was never horse so vicious that he
was not susceptible to the arts of an
artist A horse that has bitten, kicked
and stamped his keepers to death is
turned loose in the presence of man,
who does not leave him till it is safe for
child to come into his presence. There
was never sane boy SO mean. so base,
SO cruel, so fierce. that in the hands OF
an expert he could not be made as gen.
tie, as serviceable to humanity, as the
horse that came from the hands of
Rarey.
Experts are not numerous, and the
bad boy has rare genius for keeping
out of their way. There are. however.
a few principles that may be laid down
safely regarding his treatment. He
must be respected. We must never be
impatient with him. Never irritated
hy him. There is no possibility of con-
trolling or benefiting such boy If we
allow ourselves to get ratified. just
as he continues to torment the kitten
In proportion to the intensity of her cry
ing, will he invent devices for our
vexation 50 long as our irritability is
apparent There must be no weakness,
no vacillation. no hesitancy to apply
heroic treatment at the right time in
the right way. No one on earth so re-
spects authority, so bows before 8 mas

by which the money had been obtained
Food was his one great need. He looked
about him for restaurant. There vas
none in sight Away to the left was the
elevated railroad. He knew that it
would take him down town where eat

ried to station.
An L-train at ten miles an hour is not
rapid transit to a man who has not dined
for two days. Before he reached the
City Hall station Drane fully realized
how badly New York needed another
and quicker system. Electricity in
moment of excitement would have been
the proper thing to keep pace with his
impatience. However, the journey
ended before the tissues of his body had
wholly wasted away: and two minutes
later he was seated at a restaurant
table and had ordered Just seventy cents
worth of food. Nothing, from fish-balls
to terrapin, had ever tasted SO good to
him as that soup
If l ever meet a hungry beggar

begun to take effect ''I'll treat him to

LIFE AND LONGEVITY.
According to Science There In No Ffxa
Relation Between the Two.

According to Science There IL No Fixed
Relation Between the Two.
Although there is some relation be-
tween size and longevity, the duration
OF the period OF growth and length of
life being, speaking generally, longest
In the largest animals, there is no fixed
relation between the two. The largest
organism live the longest, some trees
reaching an age OF 5000 years, and some
animals, as whales, several centuries.
And, after maturity is reached, larger
animals require longer time than small
er animals to secure the preservation
of the species. The explanation of this,
as pointed out by both Leuckart and
Herbert Spencer, is that ''the absorb
ing surface of an animal only increases
as the square of its length, while its size
increases as the cube: and it therefore
follows that the longer an animal be-
comes the greater will be the diff
Guilty experienced in assimilating any
nourishment over and above that which
1t requires for its own needs, and there
fore the more slowly will it reproduce
itself" We, however, find correspond
ing duration of life among animals of
very different size. For example. the
toad and the cat live as long as the
horse, the crayfish as long as the pig,
and the pike carp as long as the elephant.
In an interesting appendix, from which
these and the following facts are
quoted, DIR. Weissmann cites the case
of sea anemone which lived not less
than sixty-six years. 1t was placed by
Sir John Dalzell in small glass Jar in
the Edinburgh Botanical Gardens in
1928, being then, as companions with
other individuals reared from the egg
period, fully seven years old. 1t died a
natural death in 1SS7.-Longman's

HOW TO MARRY WELL.
Some Important Things Which Girl
Should Always Remember.

Some Important Things Which Girls
Should Always Remember.
What girls should never forget is to
be neat! Not primly so, but daintily
so. The girl we'll got up, with ire
proachable gloves and shoes that fit,
though her gown be only cotton, yet if
it will be well turned out, may compete
with the richest, while the slovenly
dresser, who scorns or forgets to give at
tention to details, is passed over by the
discontented eye, though her gown may
be masterpiece of Worth.
A girl should learn toput her gown on
properly. No creature living takes more
heed of externals than your orthodox
man. He may not know the price, color
or material OF your clothes, but he will
know to-a nicety whether you are we'll
or badly gowned.
One special pointI would impress up
on the girl who desires las all girls dol
to range themselves we'll, to make a
good marriage-is to be gentle The
craze for vivacity, for the free and easy
styls that borders so closely on the man
ners of the demi-monde, that distin-
guished the society of ton years ago,
has providentially died natural death.
Nowadays men are sensible enough to
look for comfort in their married lives
And surely the knowledge that ones fut-
ure wife has heart as tender as it is
sympathetic should, and does, go far to
arrange mans decision of who shall
be the partner of his daily life.-Ladies'

knock out a little accompaniment on
the old concertina, and we'u pick up
big money"
Drane was elated. Here was his
chance to escape from all his difficulties
He wondered that he had not thought
earlier of using his voice to make his
living.
He had often been affected by just
such entertainments as he now proposed
to take part in, and he had wondered
what would be the success of really
competent performer. He had no end
of faith in good music, and he resolved
to give the ferry-boats passengers some
thing worth hearing. The time dragged
heavily till twelve o'clock, when Billy
said the curtain could rise. Billy was a
queer specimen, and Drane would
have felt very much ashamed of his
society under ordinary circumstances,
but now he only thanked his stars that
the fellow was no worse. He was a
great deal more ashamed of the concer-
tina, and afraid of it, too.
They left the hotel and boarded the
Cwelve-o'clock boat. Drane was nervous.
He hadn't decided what to sing and he
feared the miscellaneous audience to
the last degree. He had often sung in
public, and occasionally in costumed
light opera parts, but he had never been
so thoroughly and outrageously ''made
up" before.
They took their positions in the well
come obscurity of the passage between
the forward and after cabins On the
ladies' side.
We'll have to wait till she starts"
said Billy. That's the rule, and per-
haps it's just as well None of 'em can
escape after you begin to sing"
Drane shivered. ''I'm little nervous
about these new songs" Billy acknowl-
edged. do you think I'd better try to
foller along or strike one chord all the
time and take my chances?"
'tBilly," replied Drane, pointing to
the concertina while the cold perspi-
ration gathered on his brow, 'if you
let that thing break loose while I'm
singing I'll throw you overheard"
''Oh, I'll handle her careful" said
Billy. Don't you worry about me. Go
ahead now. She's started"
Billy pushed Drane out into the cabin
concertina by way of prelude. When he
had finished, Drane began the we'll
known air, "Spirito Gentil," which is
suited to high tenor voice, but not to
an audience of New Jersey people re-
turning to their homes in the dead of
night. After the first few melodious notes
had agitated the air, an intoxicated citi-
zen walked up with start and shouted:
Say boss, quit that and sing something
we all know. Sing Annie Laurie"
The inebriate started his favorite
song in a voice much the worse for
liquor, and both he and Drane were
having a very bad time of it, when
Billy, thinking it his duty to help his
partner in distress, came to the rescue
with a concertina accompaniment,
fortissimo, which passed from one key
to another like a gentleman struggling
with series of epileptic fits. Several
persons near the door escaped, and
others were on the point of following
their example. Drane kept his tune
and his temper for about a minute; and
then, turning suddenly, he kicked
Billy's concertina clear to the roof of
the cabin and fed in disgust before it
ceme down.

AN ITALIAN GENIUS.
He InVents Photograph Said to Be s
periOr to EdisOn,s.

He Invents PhOnograph Said to Be su-
perior to EdisOn's.
Iranslatlng from the Lucerne Water
land, the Transatlantic says that Edison
has collaboration in Gianni Bettini,
formerly Lieutenant of the Italian
army. Bettini has invented a new pho
nograph patented, which, he claims, is
far superior to that of Edison. Indeed.
the new Bettini machine reflects the
human voice with surprising clearness
and perfect sorority, and with such
force of sound that it can be plainly
heard by all the bystanders without
need of placing the trumpet to the
ear. AS in the apparatus of the pho
nograph and the graphophone of
Edison, the modulations of the
voice are noted on the dial by the sonor-
Gus disk by means of needle points with
the difference-and in this principally
consists the mprovement-thata a ouan-
tlty OF needle points, arranged to form
rays, gather the oscillations from vari-
Gus points of the sonorous disk to COM
mon center, whence to transmit them
together to the cylinder
BY this means are attained a rfullness
OF sound, clearness and precision un-
til now obtained neither by the graphic
phone nor the phonograph. Bettini
maintains that by means of this appara-
tus he can render sixty per cent. of the
body of the sound communicated to it.
at the distance of one hundred feet it
can be heard clearly and distinctly.
Bettini has invented a composition
much more sensitive to the infections
of the voice, to be substituted for that
of the wax cylinder.
