A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR BOYS
THE CAREER OF CELEBRATED MAN.
Other stories for Young People-A Remark
able observation-disclosures Letter from
Little Girl-Budding wisdom
Some Knotty Problems.

BOYS and girls who think they have few
or no opportunities OF "doing anything"
or becoming somebody" are often dis
couraged from putting forth any effort.
Yet it is from the ranks of those whose
opportunities are limited that the worlds
roll of great men and women are
made up.
To the many previous examp els of self
made men may be added that of Helm
rich Schliemann, who died Dec. 26 at
Naples.
Schliemann, says Our Young People, was
a poor boy, dependent upon his own ex-
ertions at the age Of IA, yet he became
one of the most famous psychologists,
travellers and linguists.
Schiiemanns father was poor clergy
man, who died while his son was very
young, leaving him to the care of relatives
whose chief concern was to see that the
boy should not be burden to them.
From his fourteenth to his nineteenth
year he worked in grocery store and
learned Latin. He went to Amsterdam at
nineteen became and clerk in a mercantile
house. To his native German and his
Latin he now added in his leisure time
the English, French, Spanish, Italian,
Portuguese and Russian languages. He
wasted no hours in idleness, one may be
sure, and frittered away no precious mo-
ments in foolish occupations.
His command of the Russian language
led to lucrative appointment in st.
Petersburg, and here he became wealthy,
having gone into business for himself.
He learned the Greek language, both
ancient and modern, and later he added
Arabic TO his stock of tongues.
In the Greek language Schliemann read
Homer, and resolved to test the truth OF
Homer's stories by digging upon the site
of ancient Troy. His delvings into the
buried past have brought to light vast
quantity of antiquities and made the peo-
pie of modern times more familiar with
ancient civilization than they could posi-
bly, be from reading history alone.
Schliemann's researches brought for
him the highest honCrs from scientific
men throughout the world, and large
museum at Berlin attests to his own
peculiar line OF investigation.

A remarkable case of early mental de-

from the south, where Master Albert
Werner Feusch" was unanimously elected
to honorary membership" in the Southern
Medical society. DR.. J. +. Price, of Nir-
ginia, president OF the society, who intro
duced this young gentleman, stated that,
though he had barely attained the age of
five years, he was possessed OF knowl-
edge of anatomy, especially of osteology,
equal TO that of many graduates of medi
cine. In his exhibition before the society
the child was able not only to give the
technical and scientific names of each of
the 200 and odd bones of the human skele-
ton, but TO describe their various func-
tioRs, divisions, tuberosities, tubercles,
etc. The little fellow "preiers to amuse
himself by fitting together and adjusting
the bones of the human body (of which
he hsk been given complete set to play

delights in tracing on anatomical charts

human anatomy rather than amusing
himself with picture books" Master
