RUSSELL SAGE TO BOYS.
The Most Excellent Advice That He

The Most Excellent Advice That He
Gives to Them.
The boy who is wanted in the business
world OF to-day must be educated, says
Russell Sage in an admirable article on
The Boy That Is Wanted" in the Novem-
Der Ladies' Home journal. II his parents
cannot afford to give him high school or
college education, he must learn to study
without the aid Of teacher, in the early
morning before business begins aud in the
evenings after business hours. 1t can no
longer be truthfully said that an education
is out OF any ones reach. Our splendid
school system, where one can study by day
or in the evening, has put the priceless
treasure OF an education within the reach of
all. The main thing in the beginning that
would impress upon boys is one of the
great commandments, Honor thy father and
Thy molher, that thy days may be long in
the land which the Lord thy God gaveth
thee" The boy who respects his father
and mother, who treats his sisters and
brothers with loving kindness, has laid a
good Foundation for successful career.
You Will do as your parents tell you, and
that certainly will be to study. Don't be in
hurry to get away from your school books
The cares and responsibilities of business
life Will come soon enough. Go to school as
long as you can, aud remember, every hour
spent in study in your youth will be worth
money TO you in after life. Read good books
the Bible above all. Make yourself az
qualnted with history. Study the progress
of nations and the careers of men who have
made nations great. If you have no library
of your own, join one of the numerous as
socatIons to be found in all cities, where
good. healthful books may be obtained.
Study religion, science. statecraft and his
tory. Learn to read intelligently, so that
you may turn to practical use in after life
the reading OF your youth. Be sure you
begin right. Do not waste time in reading
trashy books.

Of former more extensive workings for

EATING TO LIVE.
He Who Lives by His Intellect Must Take Care
Of His Stomach.

Shelley was vegetarian and an idealist
Perhaps il he had been meat-eater his
verses would have displayed more passion
and FIRE, for the contrast between his poetry
and Byron's Is striking. though Byron
attributes his best work to the in
spiration of gin and water. Byron's
life is melancholy example OF how
soon the candle that is lit at both ends
burns out Byron's horror of corpulence
drove him to dietetic expedients to avoid it
that certainly tended to shorten his life,
such as chewing tobacco to stave off hunger
and the desire for food, taking inordinate
quantities OF vinegar and other auestiona-
BILE methods. Had he lived in these days he
could have been told how to keep down fat
and still live well and enjoy most of the
luxuries Of life.
Walter Scott passed a genial social exist
ence, took plenty of exercise. lived temper
ately, and insisted on having seven or eight
hours oil sleep out of the twenty-four;
hence he lived to good age, and did more
work-that bears In every page of it the
impress of genius-than any man of his
day. Burns, his equally gifted country
man, lived to eat and drink, and hence the
result. 1t is true he left poetry behind
him that the world will not willingly let
die; but what might he not have done?
The high-strung, nervous system Of the poet
and literary man bears excess badly, and
Swift seemed to know this. for in letter to
rope ne says: L lie least tranSRresSlon OF
yours, if 1t be only two bites and sup more
than your stint, is great debauch, for which
you will certainly pay more than those sots
who are carried dead drunk to bed" Tho
machinery OF sensitive souls Is as delicate
as it is valuable, and cannot bear the
rough usage that coarse customs inflict upon
it. 1t is broken to pieces by blows which
common natures laugh at. Equally, when
we descend into the lower regions Of Par
nassus. the abode Of talent and cleverness,
the care Of the body is absolutely essential
TO long life and continued usefulness. he
who lives by his intellect must take care Of
his stomach. for after all, "nind is matter
and soul Is porridge. The Gentleman 8

VICTORIA, B. c., June 4.-The little
naval village of Esquimalt enjoyed the
first sensation it has experienced in years
this morning. A tall and handsome
blonde, who has been known here as Mrs.
Goff, of San Francisco, is the heroine, and
Lieutenant Brown, of the United States
steamer Pinta, is the hero. The Pinta
sailed from Esquimalt rather earlier in the
morning than had been expected, and
few minutes after her departure Mrs. Goff
appeared at the naval wharf in 3
state bordering on Mysteries. She
asked if the cutter had sailed,
and receiving an affirmative reply gave a
sob and threw herself from the pier. Two
boatmen hastened to the rescue but
their assistance was declined, even after
the would-be suicide had made two trips
to the bottom. As she came up the third
time she caught wildly at q rope and was
drawn ashore, where no time was lost in
restoring her to consciousness. Who she
really is is matter Of dispute.
Her friends volunteer the scant informa-
tion that she is the wife of a prominent
San Francisco business man, whom she
deserted several weeks ago to Join Lieu
tenant Brown. On the Pinta's arrival
here they met and were inseper-
able for the first few days. Then
came quarrel succeeded by
others. The last of these took place last
night. The lovers parted in anger. She
thought he would return to make up, but
he did not. Then she went to him, but
too late. Her leap to death was the re-
suit. What she proposes to do next is not
known. Her husband is on the way to
take her home.
