People have had Boiline analyzed bv

hidden secret of its virtue. There's one
thing that every body who has used it
does know. and that is that it is a sure
cure for boils. If applied for two or
three days according to directions and
at the proper stage the boil is sure to
dlrappear. AS a proof of it's merit /

The cause of the generally blue color
of the deep sea is accounted for by refer
ence to certain principles connected with
the science of optics. Probably most are
aware that light consists of the set of
colors which we see so beautifully dis
played in the rainbow. Now, it is a
law of light that, when it enters any
body, and is either reflected or trans
mitted to the eye, certain portion OF
it, consisting of more or less of its
colors, is lost in the body; the remaining
color, being reflected, strikes our visual
sense, and whatever color that may be,
the object seems of that color. Now, il
chances that the portion of light most
apt to be reflected from masses of trans.
parent fluid is the blue, and hence it il
that the air and the sea both appear of
this color.-N. Y. Ledger.

UNHEEDED LESSONS.
A Sensible Little Lecture Addressed t.
knaves and Fools.

| Inaves and Fools.
| If men and women were amenable to
the laws by which schools are gov
erned. how many thousands of us would
! have to do penance in fools caps every
| day! Ounces more inveterate and hope
| less than the veriest thickheads you can
pick out of the child-world are as
plenty as blackberries' among 'chil-
dren of a larger growth" Wholesome
| discipline and good advice do sometimes
brighten the wits and improve the
! judgments of unpromising boys and
girls: but neither the scourge of bitter
| experience nor the tutelage of the wise
and good seems to produce any reforma-
tory effect upon the majority of adult
blunderers. Your burnt child avoids
the fire. but your singed man is apt to
rush back into the flame as a moth or a
beetle.
The jail, says the New York Ledger,
does not teach the thief that honesty is
the best policy; no reverse reclaims the
reckless gambler; the drunkard whom
dissipation has reduced to his last coat
pawns it to procure moro liquor; plucked
pigeons of the stock exchange only wait
to renew their feathers outside to re-
turn to Wall street and be stripped
again; publishers of papers that the
public does not want and will not read
sink fortune after fortune in vain efforts
to revolutionize the taste of the million;
Missionaries with patent schemes for re-
modelling the social system on principles
at war with the laws of nature and the
word of God sophiSticate to the bitter
end in spite of the scorn and derision of
the community; inventors whose brains
have brought forth nothing but failures
cling to their fallacies in the face of
demonstration and go on producing new
abortions: and politicians who have
been Missed down a thousand times con-
tinue to 'yawp' after they have become
too contemplate TO be hooted.
Such insane obstinacy, such perse-
verance in faulty, such fiagitious disre-
gard of the teachings of experience are
not to be found among the urchins who
frequent our public schools. The
greatest blockhead, the worst scape-
grace among the little folk, pays some
attention TO the lessons and admonitions
.he is continually receiving; but fools
and knaves who have arrived at years
of discretion" are for the most part in
corrigible. Fortunately for those who
belong to none of these somewhat nu-
merous classes, public opinion and pub
lie justice impose wholesome restraint
upon their rank and file; but, alas! to
the great damage of the common in
terest, there are knaves and fools in
authority who appear to be beyond the
reach of law, and upon whom public re-
monstrances seem to have no more ef-
feet than headless arrows upon the hide
of a rhinoceros.
But let the honest and sensible por-
ton of mankind comfort itself with the
reflection that all worthless things find
at last their proper level. If we can not
always '.shQot Folly as it flies let us
remember that its wings are of wax,
and that sooner or later it must share
the fate of Icarus; and that knavery,
though it may flourish for a season,
rarely outlives

OF those who treasure up wrong"
In regard to eating MANY traditic

In regard to eating many traditions
have come down from the past which
must be got rid of. One of the most err
roneous is that attaching to farinaceous
food. That has been usually regarded
as the rock of hope for weak stomachs.
the natural nourishment of the young
and the backbone of strength generally,
This is a total mistake in some respects
For some men it may be good, and for
others bad, not so much on account of
the difference of stomachs as from the
difference in the sort of labor thew are
engaged in.

Looks at you so reproachful like
Ye feel ye'd rather die, guess,
Than scold or lift yer hand ter strike.
Jes' a little thing at makes the love
Come surgin' up till it fills yer heart,
An ye think an angel from above
Has made herself O. yer life part.
A little thing with a tender way
An smile so sunny an bright,
It drives all sorrow an care away,
Like darkness fore the mornin' light.
That's all at she WIZ ter me, sir

Because she was taken away.

It's hard fur to bow down yer head,

Why He Was Sent to st. Helena by the

After Waterloo and the dissolution of
the grand army Napoleon returned to
France The storm of revolution was
already gathering; the tide of opposi-

France; his son had been passed over by
the Chamber of Representatives.; his
own services as General had been re-

vigilance of the British cruisers that
guarded the coast, and finally he went

She Heard of Her own Death.

Clara Morris once had the pleasure of
hearing the Minneapolis newsboys call
inc out on the streets: Extra. All about
the death of Clara Norris" She had az
rived in the city the morning of the
..frst night" and late in the afternoon
had been taken so i'll that her physician
said that if She played that night she
would not be able to play again for Il
week: but that if she were to rest that
nirht she would fully recover her usual
health. There had been large advance
sale of seats, and it WIS thought neces-
sary to circulate the news about her
sickness in some way. The last edition
of the afternoon paper had been issued,
Int it was arranged hastily to issue an
extra containing a statement in regard
10 the nights performance. Some 1000
copies were printed and given away TO
newsboys, who were told to shout ''all
about the sickness of Clara Morris, but
as the transition from sickness to oeath
l. sometimes brief, the mlSStatement
can nerbaps be accounted for. At all
events. it gave the engagement great
..hoon.- and afforded amusement to
Clara Morris. who heard the news of her
own death while sitting in window at

A Light Wiihout Matches.

To obtain a light Instantly without
the Use Of matches, aud without the
danger Of setting things on fire, is an
easy matter. Take an oblong vial Of
the clearest Of glass, put into it o piece
Of PHOSPHORUS about the size Of a pea;
upon this pour some pure olive oil
heated To the boiling point, the bottle
10 be filled about one-third full; then
cork tightly. To use the light, re-
move the cork, allow the air to enter,
and then recork. The whole empty
space in the bottle will then become
luminous, and the light obtained will
be a good one. As soon AS the light
becomes dim, its power can be in
creased by opening the bottle aud al
lowing a fresh supply Of air TO enter. In
very cold weather 1t is sometimes nee.
essary To heat the vial between the
hands TO increase the 1uidity of the
oil, and one bottle will last all winter.
