BOYS WILL BE BOYS.
Tho Young Californian Who Wisely Pre-
ferred Fun to Grief.

All, me! Boys will be boys. and
youth, looking out upon glorious
world with clear. bright eyes can see
even through tears the brightness of
life. says the San Francisco Chronicle.
Tears seem to thicken and grow opaque
with the years that pass over us. She
had taken her boy to school in Europe
10 one of those schools by Swiss
lake, margined with fruits of gold and
Whispering myrtles. and all that sort of
thing. 1t was the first time they had
really been parted, and she had to come
back to far-otf California and leave him
to the tender mercies of strange teach.
ers and bigger boys. She saw the
school-gate close upon him. and he had
a tear in his eye AS he kissed her good
by. There were several other boys in
that school, and on the lake rode at
anchor whole lot of boats. One
young aristocrat owned yacht that
basked in the Swiss sunlight and rode
over the shadows of Swiss mountains
mirrored in the waters just rippled by
a breeze. She wendell her sad way to
the hotel. She had chosen room from
which she could see into the play
ground of the school and get, if
possible. last glimpse of her boy be-
fore she wendell her weary way to the
far west She sat at her window, her
eyes filled with tears, and she thought
of him in there among strange boys
and wretched and miserable, crying
over their parting. She felt rs if she
must 90 there and take him back. that
it was inhumau to leave him. And so
she cried all to herself and felt as if her
heart would break, when she saw "A lot
OF boys making for the lake. She saw
some of them get on board the yacht
and weigh the anchor and hoist the
sails. She cried all the harder because
she knew her boy had no yacht aud it
seemed so hard on him. The Yachts
canvas filled and as it sailed past the
window through her tears she saw
boy alternately hauling on rope aud
waving his handkerchief 1t was her
beloved son. He had found out in ten
minutes who owned the yacht, cottoned
to him. and there they were sailing
gayly over the lake. She dried her
tears and felt that somehow she had
mistaken her boy if she thought he
didn't know how to get his share of all
the fun there WAS going,

Martin Luther: The strength Of Z

John Ruskin: The words school, ("

the daily vigilance and tirmness Of tu-

N. h. r. Dawson. late U. s. Com

there are 30 many poorly endowed
and half-equipped colleges and uni
versities in our country, and SO many
thousand illiterate citizens among US.
Caroline P. Dalton, Salem. Mass.
Perhaps beneath our shaping hands
some great reformer will spring into

FOR HOUSEWIVES TO TRY.
Possibly 4 Useful Bit OF Information frou
Uncl- Sans Bug Bureau.

In bulletin issued by the division
of entomology. Department of Agri.
culture. DIR. G. V. Riley, writing of in.
sect pests of the household. after do
scribing various species OF cockroaches
says: In the latitude of Washington
and further south the croton bug eats
everything which contains paste. and
consequently wall paper, photographs.
and especially certain kinds of cloth
book bindings suffer severely from
their attacks. In a recent number Of
Insect Life will be found an account Of
severe injury done to certain Of the
important files in the Treasury Depart
ment in Washington. the bindings O:
manv important public documents be-
ing disfgured and destroyed. In the
office of the United States Coast anG
Geodetic Survey they have become
an intolerable nuisance by eating of
the surface and particularly the blue
and red paint from drawings of i'm.
portant maps.
But need not elaborate further upor
the damage which they do. How to
kill them and prevent this damage is
the question.
Without condemning other useful
measures or remedies like borax
would repeat here what / have already
urged ia these columns, viz, that ir

pest may be substantially driven out Of

For no other insect have so many

many newspaper remedies published.
Many of them have their good points,
but the majority are worthless. In
fact, rather than put faith in half OF
those which have been published it
were better to rely on the recipe which
L. A. Janvier gives in his charming

among the Mexicans: To get rid OF

these three came will go away!-Wash

A GruesOme Curiosity.

OF all the hideous. uncanny objects
says the Boston Globe. the ne
that hangs in the window of the H.l'
Rubber Company is the uncanniest ano
most hideous. 1t is the preserved heac
of South American Indian.
The head is five centuries old and be-
longed to an Indian chief named
Huambrsa who was killed during the
war with the Augaruna Indiaas on the
River Santiago. The head was cut
from the body by its Brazilian captors,
and, with consummate art, all the bony
matter was removed from the interior,
leaving nothing but the flesh and skin.
Then, by some long lost process, it was
embalmed; so perfect is the work that
all the features are preserved in their
exact proportions. but so reduced in
size that the whole head is not larger
than good sized orange.
Attached to the top OF the head, and
run through the upper lip, are long
strands OF bright-colored hemp, used
in carrying the head at the waist AS a
trophy. after the fashion of the North
American Indians. Black silken hair,
about eighteen inches long. hangs down
on either side, and the chin is adorned
with black imperial. Even the eye
brows and the short hairs within the
nostrils are preserved.
The curiosity is valued at S.. 600, and
will be presented to the Boston Museum
of Fine Arts.

What They Say.

NJ. Aurelius AGtonius: Man is for
action. not for idleness or pleasure.
A. N. Raub, Delaware; A surerin.
tendent should be required to possess
special qualification and experience in
teaching.
Frank w. Blackmar, Phi. d.. Kansas:
All great universities of ancient and
modern times have received govern
ment support.
Sec. j. w. Dickinson. Massachusetts,:
No one is fully qualified to select a
textbook until he has himself used it in
the classes.
Supt. James S. Hook, Georgia: No
school system could be effective and
popular which should exclude the sen.
sitive poor from its benefits.
Supt. Ira G. Hoitt, California: Only
the very best men should be chosen as
county superintendents, progressive,
earnest, and practical educators.
Supr. Solomon Palmer. Alabama:
Every country worthy the name on the
globe has organized and is now main
tanning schools at public expense for
the education of the young.
Principal John S. Crombie Mime
apolis, Mimi: TO take BOYS and girls
coming from schools widely different
in their work and showing almost every
kind of training, and blend them into
Il homogeneous school whose charac-
teristic is good scholarship, is difficult

Teaching As u Profession.

Supt. L. p. Seaver in lecture at
Harvard University, said:
No one should preach or teach who
has not CALI for such work These
are pre-eminently vocations. The best
test of such call. especially as re-
CARDS teaching is experiment. Trials
and disappointments. are Inevitable.
but IL is by overcoming such difficulties
successfully that the born teacher
knows his call. There are two prime
qualifications for teacher; scholar
ship and power of control. The first
of these can easily be shown before be-
ginning to teach, but the second can
only be known upon trial. Many
choose teaching ouly to find that they
have mistaken their vocation. The
power is essential. aud no one should
be mortified if he finds that he does not
possess it. The enthusiasm of scholar
ship often passes over into enthusiasm
for teaching. When the two are united
they can usually overcome all obsta.

Starch has essentially the same percent.
age composition, but it differs ver,I
much in its properties, and the nature
of its molecule is probably much more
complex.
Cellulin is of little or no detetic
value and it is not altered. like starch,
in boiling water. 1t really gives glu-
cose when treated with strong suphuric
acid, as is easily shown when cotton
wool, which is practically pure cellulin,
is merely immersed in it. Starch gives
the same product when boiled with
weak acid The author further quotes
the researches of Hellregel which go
to show beyond dispute that certain
plants transform atmospheric nitrogen
into albumen. and that his process can
be improved by suitable treatment
The production. therefore, of corn.
starch from cellulin. together with the
enforced increase of albumen in plants,

abolition of the bread question.
