Good Books for Boys.

Boys want stories that begin at
once, says the N. Y Even,aag Sun. On
this account the preliminary intro
duction which distigures most of
Scott's novels is distasteful to them.
t1The Talisman,n for instance, is a
marvelously good story for boy to
read were it not for the tedious ac-
count of the journey Of the hero Of the.
tale through the deserts of Palestine.
s.Ivanhoe'' is perhaps the only work
of Scott which is entirely free from
this objection. From the time that
Iyanhoe meets Gurth, the swineherd,
and Wanda, the jester to the close OF
she book there is not dull page in it.
Robin Hood, Little John, Friar Tuck,
and Richard I. appear in the veritable
desh. Isaac the Jew is clothed in all
ahe virtues Of his race. Even the

WOman'S Hold on Life,

From recent statistics it seems to
be shown that women has a greater
tenacity of life than man, and that
the Hebrew women are the longest
lived ofany race. Then, too, among
insects the male perishes at a rela-
lively earlier period; in plants the SEM
inal blossoms die earliest and are
produced in the weaker limbs, and
female quadrupeds have more endur-
ance than male.-Herald of Health.

sluggish Athelstane is made known to

sluggish Athelstane is made known to
us as he was.
The only other novel Of Scott which
boys find interesting is Quentin Dur
ward" The book begins with the mar
row escape of the hero from hanging,
and the mingled shrewdness and SUI
perstition of Louis XII. is interesting
throughout the book.
The best Of Marryat's novels are
books which no boy can. afford to neg
lect. The fun in them has the effer-
vescence of champagne. Who can for
get the absurdies of Mr. Midshipman
Easy with his articles of war? Then
his marvellous triangular duel and his
petticoat flag appeal to every boy with
a grain of humor in his composition.
.Japhet in Search of Father is
another work of Marryat we'll worth
reading. The humorous picture of
the Quakers contained in that book is
always fresh. Jacob Faithful gives
a good picture of the life of the Thames
waterman a century ago, and New
ton Foster" capital account of life in
the merchant service.
R. M. Ballantyne has written some
excellent books for boys. The best of
them is ''The Coral Island.'' A boy
has no difficulty in seeing with his
own eyes Peterkin, Jack, and Ralph
passing the long summer days on one
of the South Pacific islands. Every
now and then there is mad rush to
battle in the limpid waters of the
lagoon. The sequel to the Coral
Island" called the Gorilla Hunters"
is not nearly so good.
In "Erling the Bold" by the same
author, there if a good picture of
America during its colonization by the
Norseman thousand years ago. How
they came here and dwelt here, and
finally went home again, is there fully
set down.
Two old-fashioned books deserve
mention on account of their populari ty
in the past. ''The Scottish Chiefs
gives the history of the heroic Wallace
without any serious departure from
the truth. est. Clair of the Isles" is
charming story of the career of a
Scottish outlaw during the early years
of the Stuart dynasty.
Speaking of novels which have his.
toric side to them brings up the name
of Bulwer Lytton. In "Harold' is a
picture of the last of the Saxon kings
and of the disastrous battle of Hast
ings. No boy will have his notions of
history warped by reading this book.
In The last Of the Barons," too, a
boy will find much that is interesting
abont the first and last "king-maker"
that England ever had.
Every one knows "The Last Days of
Pompeii,' in which the destruction of
Herculaneum and Pompeii is graph
ically described. But "The Gladi-
ators," by Maj. Whyte-Melville, is a
much more interesting book, we'll fit
ted for boys reading. In fact, the
works of Whyte-Melville are too much
neglected nowadays. s..

A Man Who Wanted Alimony.

From the Oberlin (Kas. Opinion.
The meanest man on record has
been discovered again. He lives in
Arkansas City, Kas. He brought suit
against his wife for alimony, alleging
that she is a strong and healthy
woman, asks that she be compelled
to support him. The courts have
just decided the case in the adverse
to him. In it's decision the supreme
court says there is no case in the law
books authorizing such a suit; that
the domestic relations would have to
be readjusted, and an obligation
cast upon the wife to support the
husband before such an action could
be maintained.

Our Noble Planet.

Albert Harris home is in Clinton
county, Missouri. Shortly after mid
night he wandered into the central
police station, and to the captain in
charge told the tale of how he rode
and rode through more towns than
he had ever heard of and finally
reached Omaha.

South African Beers.

A certain Mr.. F., wishing to pur-
chase a farm, the Boer proprietor dog
gedly refused to accept bills, checks, or
notes, says writer in BlackaUood's
Magazine. He would have his price,
f25, 900, in sovereigns, or he would
not sell. So the golden bullion was
with much trouble brought to the
house. will you not stop to dinner?"
asked the farmer, and at its conclusion
Mr.. F.,when bidding adieu, Observed:
well. | suppose we may at last con-
slider our transactions quite complete !
Not quite" said the Boer; ''you still
owe me IS cd for the dinner The
next episode was that the farmer wor-
ried with the custody of SO much coin
in his house, resolves with many mis-.
giyings to pay the purchase money in
to the Standard bank, but the following
week he demands to withdraw his de-
post, and the hard cash is again pro-
duced. He counts it over carefully,
and. once more treasured, shoyes it
back into the cashiers hands. The
Beers do not, in fact, seem to have the
slightest comprehension of the first
principles of finance. Another of this
class asked a bank what would be the
terms for hissproposed deposit Of 925,-
900. I'VE will give you s per cent
replied the clerk, not understanding
the drift of the question. .'You pay
me for taking care of my propertyp''
said the Boer. No, no. / am not such
a fool as to believe that You are up
to some trickp'' And he instantly
broke off the negotiation.

Dark dreadful death! that comes our hearts
to wither
With blighted woe:
That points its finger to the hidden "whith-

That breathes upon our buds of promised

And hangs the skies in sombre shades of
sadness
Dark, dreadful DEATH

Without surcease,
And points them to the bright and fair to-

which went to that city last Sunday a
week ago to sing at the dedication of the
Congregational church:
The choir was from Colby and are con
sidered one of the finest choirs in the
state. To say that the singing of the
Colby choir was fine would be putting
it mildly. it was superb, and delightful.
it was grand. The solos were uncom-
monty good
The church was decorated with flowers
and the choir was splendid. 1t was COM
posed of ten singers from our neighbor-
ing town of Colby. The choir we'll mer-
tied the praise that was bestowed on
them and if Colby had wished the world
to know what kind of people lived
there they could not have selected a
better company to do So The church
extends its thanks to the singers tor
their assistance and sweet songs and We
hope some time to hear them again.
