FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
INTERESTING READING FOR THE
COMING MEN AND WOMEN.
A Beautiful story About Neil Allerton's
Adventure at u C~arnival-The Use OF
Tobacco by Boys-A Great Mans

The Philadelphia Medical Reporter
states that an energetic opposition to
this practice is now being made in some
of the most enlightened educational
establishments in the United States,
among which are the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis and the
United States Military Academy at
West Point.
The naval surgeons, and especially
Doctor Gihon, U. S. n, have been the
principal movers in the opposition,
alleging that tobacco Cd leads to i'm
paired nutrition of the nerve-centers;
90 is a fertile cause of neuralgia, ver-
tigo and Indigestion; 60 irritates the
mouth and throat, and destroys the
purity of the voice: % produces defects
of vision; 90 causes a tremulous, hard
and intermittent Ipulse: CO. develops a
conspicuous irritability of the heart;
and CO retards the cell-change, on
which the development OF adolescence
depends. Moreover, it is alleged that
the records Of schools and colleges in
dictate very positively that tobacco de-
teriorates the mental faculties.
Non-smokers take the highest rank in
every grade; and whether we look at
the exceptionally brilliant students, or
compare the average Of those who use
and those who refrain from tobacco, the
result shows the same.
All our readers would do well to
made a special note of this.

The Old.Tjme Grandmother No More.

There are no longer any grand
mothers. At least not in what we call
"frst circles" and polite society,""
The dear old lady who once sat in the
corner content to rock and knit and tell
owe her al to her gay young
granddaughters is no more. The old
and elderly ladies of to-day are running
the social and intellectual affairs Of
womankind. Sixty and seventy is not
bent Of spine and dim Of eye. It stands
as erect and moves with the lissome
ease Of the girl. 1t wears fashionable
gowns and its snow-white hair is colt
fured a la mode. These erstwhile
grandmothers preside at receptions,
edit magazines, recite poetry, sing and
play pianos, and from the platform
stand for the progress and rights of
women. Who would dream of address
ing this sort Of woman as grandma: 2"
Who would even think it in the pres
ence OF Queen Victoria or our own Mrs.
Grant and Logan, or Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, or Julia
Ward Howe? When we want the dear
old dame, who croons her old hymns
and reads her large print Bible on her
knee, we must go back to history or
penetrate the rural districts or search
among peasant population. Rail-
roads and telegraph, higher education,
equal rights, Christian science, and
theosophy have evolved a wondrous
woman, but they have annihilatcd the
grandmother.

ImDartial.

A compliment paid by Rufus Choate
to Chief Justice Shaw, of Massachu-
setts, happily illustrates Burke's pithy
phrase. "The cold neutrality of an i'm
partial Judge" with what Judge"
said Mr.. Choate, "can you see your an
tagonist freely conversing, without the
slightest apprehension, as you can with
him?' Once during the trial of a case,
an eminent lawyer, associated with MI.
Choate, was rising to contest an unfavor-
able, if not unfair, ruling made by the
Chief Justice. Let it go!" whispered
Mr.. Choate. drawing him back. sit
down. Life. liberty, and property are
always safe in his hands"
Gracefully as these sayings compll-
ment the impartiality of one OF the most
upright of judges, they are not more ex-
pressive than one which was paid him
bv a sporting man. noted as an assist
ant in prize fights.
The sport" was a witness in a muir
der trial, and during his examination
the Chief Justice walked to the edge OF
the bench, aud in a grave way, peering
over his spectacles. asked the witness
several questions. After the witness
had left the stand, he said to an officer
of the court:
Did you see that chap that sot with
two other coves behind Il little fence
there in court--l mean the cove called
the chief?'
"Oh yes, you mean Judge Shaw" SAID
the officer.
That's him: but what a glorious fell
Inr hnI 1ooEo for a rafnrnn IN a 1Ohf I"
said the bruiser.
Daniel Webster did one of the best
works of his life when he seated him
self in Lemuel Shaw's Office, and spent
several hours in persuading him to re-
linuuish a lucrative practice to accept
the chief iusticeshlp OF Massachusetts,.
Though its salary was so small rs not
to amount to one-third of the sum which
Mr.. Shaw earned yearly by the practice
Of his profession, he yielded to the
sense Of duty, aroused Mr.. Webster's
arguments, and for thirty years served
| the Commonwealth by administering
justice.
The Constitution of the United States
| and the Constitutions of the States are
| peculiar in this, that without expressly
authorizing the judiciary to pass upon
the validity of laws enacted by the
legislative authority, they place the
courts in such a position Of complete
independence that the judges have as
sumed and exercise the right to pro-
nounce one law constitutional and an
other unconstitutional.
The fact that after a century of this
method OF governing through the judi
ciary the people still reverence the
courts, and especially the Supreme
Court of the United States, indicates
wisdom of our ancestors, and the moral
influence of "the cold neutrality of an
impartial judge"

describing the scene, 50 short, rather
dry looking man, nervous, pale, and
sickly. He was accompanied by his
wife, a strong. healthy-looking woman,
who confirmed all that he said. He
made the following declaration with the
utmost clearness, just as L am speaking
to you, or as you would speak TO me.
" Monsieur Commissary, you must

" What! Ii you have done nothing"

"'He was very serious, yet calm"

White as Snow. Close as Cake.

The bread in the south Of Spain is
delicious: it is white as snow, close as
cake, and yet very light; the flour is
most admirable. for the wheat is good
and pure, and the bread we'll kneaded.
The way they make this bread, a
the Co~7ltectio71er, is as follows: From
large, long panniers filled with wheat,
they take out q handful at a time, sort
ing it most carefully and expeditiously,
and throwing every defective grain into
another basket. This done, the wheat
is ground between two circular stones,
as it was ground in Egypt2 900 years
ago, the requisite rotary motion being
given by a blindfolded mule, which
passes around and around with untirine
patience, a bell being attached to his
neck which, as long as he is in motion,
tinkles on, and when it stops he is urged
to his duty by the shout Of "ar a mula"
from some one within hearing. When
ground, the wheat is sifted through
three sleeves, the last one of these being
so fine that only the pure flour can pass
through it; this of a pale apricot color.
The bread is made in the evening. 1t
Is mixed with sufficient water, with q
little salt in it, to make into dough; a
very small quantity of leaven or yeast
in one batch Of household bread. as in
Sp Tin. would last a week f. the X or
eight donkey loads Of bread they send
every day from their oven. The dough
made, is put into sacks and carried on
the donkey's back to the oven in the
centre Of the village, to bake it imme-
diately after kneading. On arriving
there the dough is divided into portions
weighing three pounds each. Two long
narrow wooden tables on trestles are
then placed down the room, and a Gu
rious sight may be seen. About 20
men, bakers, come in and arrange them
selves on one side OF the table. A lump
of dough is handed to the nearest,
which lie begins kneading and knock
ing about with all his might for about
| three or four minutes, and then passes
it on to his next neigebcr, who does the
same, and so on successfully until all
have kneadedi it, when it becomes as soft
as new putty and ready for the v
| OF course. as o as the first baker has
handed the first lump over to his neigh
Dor, another lump is handed him, and
so on until the whole quantity of dough
is kneaded by them all, The bakers
wives and daughters shape the loaves for
the oven, and some of them are very
small. They are baked Immediately.

A Carnival Adventure.

1t was Neil Allerton's first afternoon
at that great festival, the Roman carni-
val. Such fun as it was, too! Why,
you could do just whatever you liked,
NJ matter how absurd it was, and in
stead of being scolded or punished
everybody laughed, as though they en-
joyed it. In the first place, for a cent
you could get several pounds OF "con-
fetti," which looked like little pills,
and are very white and hard, and with
them you were at liberty to pelt any
body you chose; you could ever pelt
old gentlemen until they had to put up
their umbrellas, making them look as
though they were being carried through
a heavy snow storm. All the windows
of the house were filled with gaily
dressed people in all sorts of costumes.
There were little girls who were dressed
as Roman peasants, who threw Neil
bouquets and sugar plums, with long
streamers of tissue paper attached to
them, that went through the air like
comets. Then, further on, Neil would
throw the bouquets i'll at some other
window, but Sam was afraid the sugar
plums had changed to confetti" by
that time. All this was very great
sport for Neil. He was dressed like a
little peasant, too, and knew that he
looked very fine with his sash and san
dals and sheepskin breeches. So heart
lily did he enjoy it that it was some
time before he noticed that he had lost
his big brother in the crowd, and found
that he hadn't any idea how tdget home.
The place was SO thronged that it was
hardly possible to find anyone. 10
walk up and down in the hope of find
ing his brother vas all he could do, so
he started. He had also lost his appe-
tite for sugar plums by this time, and
