No one who has any experience can
doubt that money is one Of the grea,
practical forces of organized society,
The poor boy who resolves to make
money is not necessarily mercenary in
his spirit or low in his aims. To gain a
foothold by the ownership of property is
simply one step on the road to success.
That gained, he has gained great lever.
Every energetic, aspiring American boy
may rightly and naturally look forward
to the accumulation of property But to
wish for money. to seek it. or to use it in
selfish, base spirit. to make it in itself
the first and most important object of life,
Is contemplate and degraded manhood.
Think about making money then; think
about it earnestly and with a fixed deter
mination to do it; but think quite az
seriously OF other and higher things to
be done.-Country Gentleman.

Mr.. Noel A. Humphreys read a paper
Of much interest before the Statistical
society on Glass Mortality, in which he
drew attention to the fact that in the
Peabody buildings in London, which now
accommodate some %. 900 persons of the
poorer classes, the number of infant
deaths has been reduced seven per ], 200
below that Of infants in London gener-
ally during the last five years. This
shows, he said, how much housing has
to do with our rate of death: and this is
confirmed by the fact that the poorer
classes who live much in the open air.
like gardeners, nurserymen and agricul-
tural laborers, attain an average age al
most ~ good as that Of clergymen them
selves, in spite Of their much greater
privations
1t is impure air, in the long run, which

George Stephenson was a strong and
original thinker on many scientific sub
jects, but he had not always sufficient
6uency Of speech to defend his views
One evening he held an animated discus
sion with an acquaintance, DIR. Buck
land, on the theory Of the formation Of
coal. and as Buckland exoelled him in
tongue fence, Stephenson was completely
silenced. Next morning he was walking
thoughtfully through his grounds. when
Sir William Follett came up, and asked
what he was bordering. "Why, Sir
William, said he, II am thinking over
that argument had with auckland last
night. know l am right, and that if /
had only his command of words should
have beaten him." LET me know all
about it," said Sir William, land I'll see
what can do for you"
The two sat down in an arbor, and the
astute lawyer entered with zeal into the
points Of the case. When he had COM
pletely mastered the subject, he said:
Nov am ready for him." After din
ner Sir Robert Peel, who had been &C
quainted with the plot, adroitly intro
duced the subject Of the controversy,
and the result was that in the argument
which followed the man of science was
overcome by the man of law. And

Old Judge Fernald of Santa Barbara,
has the reputation of being the politest
man in California. He never loses an
opportunity to doff his hat or to offer
some slight attention to wayfaring men

reached the rear steps of the last car

priest.

judge, stepping back with courtly bow.

steps
