Six things which boy ought to know:
First-That quiet voice. courtesy and
kind acts are as essential to the part in
The world of gentleman as Of gentle
woman.
Second-That roughness, clustering
and even foohardiness are not manjl
ness. The most firm and courageous men
have usually been the most gentle.
Third-That muscular strength is not
health.
Fourth-That brain crammed only
with facts is not necessarily wise one.
Fifth-That the labor impossible to
the boy of fourteen will be easy to the
man oftwenty.
Sixth-That the best capital for boy
is not money, but a love of work. simple
tastes and heart loyal to his friends
and bis God.
Five things which girl ought to
know:
First-Tbat drawing tones, languish
ing eyes; or an affected manner will
never deceive any one into the belief that
she has a gentle nature.
Second-That while the best unguents.
depilaiories aud cosmetics may fail in
affecting her beauty, every secret thought
and hidden emotion will leave an in
delible mark upon her face which he
that runs may read.
Thrd-That every true gentlewoman
like every other jewel of great price,
never thrusts herself into view. Neither
her clothes, her voice nor her manner
challenge public notice.
Fourth-That the girl with whom
young men romp and tirt is not the one
whom they choose when they wish to
marry.
Fifth-That as God has prepared wo.
man and sent her into the world to be a
wife and a mother, she should look for
ward to those conditions of life, not with
silly and vulgar jssts, bat with reverent
earnest effort to fit herself for them

OLD FASHIONED HARVESTING.

Harvesting, with the rude imple-
ments, was q scene. Imagine three or
four hundred wild Indians in gram
field armed, come with sickles, some
with butcher knives, some with pieces
of hoop iron roughly fashioned into
shapes like sickles, but many having
ONLY their hands with which to gather
by small handfuls the dry and brittle
grain; and as their hands would soon
become sore, they resorted TO dry Will
low sticks. which were split to afford
sharper edge with which TO sever the
straw. But the widest part was the
threshing. The harvest OF ks,some'
times of q month, was piled up in the
straw In tho form of huge mound IL
the middle of high, strong, ROUND
! corral: then three or four hundre WIG
horses were turned in 10 thresh it, tht
Indians whooping to make them rni
faster. Suddenly they would dash II
h, fore the band at full speed, when tn
motive became reversed, with the etfec
lof blowing up the trampled straw Il
the very bottom. In. ah hour the graz
would be thoroughly threshed aud ~

AN ALGERIAN WONDER.

An isolated mount ain called Jebel

near Bona, Algeria, is found to be rap
idly decreasing in height; considerable
cavity having already formed around
its entire base. The whole mass OF the
gioantic peak is evidently sinking into
The parth's crust. Evidence adduced
almost within the very limits of Bona
that similar phenomenon has taken
place there probably centuries before.
Lake Pezarra, a body of water Of some
thousands OF acres in extent. lying be-
tween the mountains and the city, did
not exist in the time OF the Roman En-
pIre, and recent investigations seem
TO have settled the fact that it now

Roman city. When strong, south~ est

gain? Oh, no; of all the passions that
animate the human breast, the only one
to endure would be love. There would
be frenzied rush to grasp loves final
opportunity. Mothers would gsthor
their children about them, and there
would be no impstience, no putting
aside of bothering little arms, no With
holding of caresses because they dis

lace. There would be no turning the
bows out in the streets for the reason
that in their play at home they were
prone to make havoc with the tides ol
the chair backs and the bric-a-brac OF
the shelves. There would be no lacl
of knowledge as to where the girl
