THE BOY AT EIGHTEEN.
The Things He Should Know, Because
the Great Advantages He Has.

The Things He Should Know. Because
the Great Advantages He Has.
A youth of eighteen, who is to ha
the best chances, should know how
study, and how to do it with enthus
asm also, because he has learned the l.
son at least five years before.
Enthusiasm, guided and controlled !
knowledged as to the use of the power
is the true life of living man, ali
with the spiritual forces. EverythiI
else is in sleep, or is dead.
l make my starting point, and N
guiding thought, the thought that }
should learn how to study, and shou
gain enthusiasm, at the beginning. j
In the first place, as l think, the stud
of language may be most hopefully al
successfully started in these earle
years. The boy moves joyously whe
the man finds only labor and wearines
The children of our households tod;
may gain the same thing that we gain'
at five and twenty, and far more tn,
we gained, when they are ten or twelv
and the progress is like the joyful SOL
of their childhood, when they are l.
along the rational method. They gro
up into French or German, as it wei
as they grow up into English, and tai
and read, and sing in these languag
just as they do in their own. WI
should they not breathe enthusiasm wi
every breath of their learning? 1t W
with a great price, indeed, that we
tanned this freedom. But they were FIR
born.
Let me say here that, in my judgmeE
every boy who has the best chanc
ought to have the mastery of the Fren'
or German language q should say
both before he is Is years Of age
mastery kindred to that which he has
English. He should, also, have such
knowledge of Greek and Latin as W
mean power in and over those language
and will enable him to read them Wi
ease and with satisfaction as he ente
upon his college course. The man W
knows the ancient languages as he ougI
to know them, will never contend agar
their holding place IN the educatlon
all widely educated and roundly ed
Gated men. /
The boy who has the best chanc
ought, in the years between twelve al
eighteen, to be set forward on his cour
in history and the beginnings, at leal
of the literature of his own language.
Ny feeling is that the boys who ha-
the best chances should know somethii
of music, and should, at least, see t
opening Of the door toward art studio
The opinion 4 now well established
suppose, that all persons can be instruf
ed in vocal music with a measure OF su
cess. / believe that the same thing c;
be accomplished in the line Of instr
mental music.
That the mathematical studies shou
be pursued theoretically before the you
has reached the age of which we a
speaking, l may add, is admitted by a
The men Of the former generations al
the men Of our day agree at this point.

A well known Indiana member OF
congress had as visitor recently a con-
stltuent from the backwoods who was
not very well acquainted with the inte-
rlor OF the house of divine worship, but
who had thoroughly determined that he
would see everything there was to he
seen at the national capital during his
stay here. Sunday morning, therefore.
he announced that he was going to
church.
Now, the Indiana member was not
much of a churchgoer himself. In fact
he usually devotes his Sunday MORNINGS
to his correspondence, which has fallen
behind in the course Of the week. He
allowed his constituent to wander off bv
himself to find a place of worship. About
l o'clock the Indiana man returned. His
host asked him where he had been. He
responded in a matter of fact sort of
way that he had been to a well known
Episcopal church in the neighborhood
which he named.
"How did you get along?" said the
host. Didn't you feel bit stranger
''Oh, no, said the Indiana man solemn
ly. Il felt all right | riz and fell with
them every time. Washington Letter

Various Causes of Raldness.

Doctors talk of innervatiOn of the SCALP.
and atrophy, but it is not considered
their place to say that the cause of inner
walton, eczema, and paralysis of the skin
is want of needed cleanliness. Think
what state the face would be in if it were
washed only once in six weeks or longer;
and imagine the condition of the scalp
with its thousands Of oil glands and its
hairy growth to detain all the Astounding
dust. The wonder is not that people lose
their hair, but that they have any to lose.
The cause Of much badness and thinning
OF the hair is the choking of the bulbs by
neglect. The next potent causes are drv,
overheated air of rooms, which DESTROYS
the vitality of everything in reach,
withers bloom, draws the skin into
wrinkles, and dries the hair by the roots
and also nervous dyspepsia, which de-
mes nutrition to the entire system, in
Guiding the hair. Those causes, want Of
care and cleanliness, dry heat and indi-
gestlon, lie at the root of poor hair.
Wearing hats or bonnets frequently,
or long at time, is an unsupported
cause of grayness and falling locks. Gus
tom should be amended to allow woman
to remove bonnets wherever possible-on
long journeys, in heated concert rooms,
theatres and public galleries. The iii
brary headache, familiar to women
who spend much time studying in public
libraries in senseless habit with their
bonnets on, is speedily destructive to the
hair as well as the nerves. The unnec-
essary heat and pressure on the brain
while reading ~ most mischievous. Wo-
men in class rooms and reading rooms
should lay aside their head gear, if only
for half hour. The harm done by go
ing about hours and days with a bonnet
on, shopping or visiting, is the cause,
doubtless, of much falling of the hair
which the owner is at a loss to account
for. Shirley Dare's Letter.

Eels as Poisonous As yiners.

In a recent number of The Nuova An
tologla, published at Rome, Professor
Masso gives the results of some experi-
ments that he has lately made with the
blood OF eels and of certain marine fishes.
Ii the conclusions drawn bv the profess
Sor from these experiments are sound. it
would seem that, were an eel provided
with an apparatus to inject its own
blood into wound as the serpent in
Jects his venom when he bites, an eel in
The mud would be every bit as obiec-
uonable thing as snake in the grass.
Professor Masso, being anxious to ascer-
tain whether the blood of those salt
water fishes that died when put into
fresh water differed from the blood of
those that survived the transition from
salt water into fresh, compared the serum
of the blood of the dogfish and of other
salt water fishes that died when placed
IN fresh water with the blood of cells and
certain other fishes that were not hurt
by the change from salt water to fresh.
vi the first named, he found the serum
of the blood clear and limpid and TASTING
OF salt water; while of the others the
serum was of a yellowish color, with
white and blue reflections, like petro-
leum, and of burning and acrid taste.
Experimenting with the latter by IN
Jectlng it under the skin of rabbits, frogs,
mice and pigeons, he discovered that it
was a deadly poison, its effects being
similar to viper poison, inasmuch as
death was caused by paralysis of the
respiratory organs. Experimenting on
dogs with this fish poison and with viper
poison, the professor found that, minute
as was the quantity of the latter poison
required to cause the death of the animal
IN few minutes, it was one-third more
powerful than the fish poison-that is to
say, it required three times the quantity
OF the fish poison to produce the same
effect that certain quantity of the viper
poison produced. In regard to the cure
of snake bites, Professor Masso says that
the stimulants usually given are wholly
useless and that the only hope of recov-
cry lies in tracheotomy and artificial
pumping of air into the lungs.-St.
James Gazette.
