What Makes a Boy Popular?

What makes a boy popular? Manli-
ness, says Hrzekiah Bulterworth in
The Ladies' Home Journal. During
the war, how schools and colleges fol-
lowed popular boysl These young lead
ers were the many boys whose hearts
could be trusted. The boy who respects
his mother has leadership in him. The
boy who is careful of his sister is a
knight. The boy who will never vio-
late his word, and who will pledge his
honor to his own heart and change not,
will have the confidence of his fellows.
The boy who defends the weak will one
day become hero among the strong.
The boy who will never hurt the feel
ings of any one will one day find him
self in the atmosphere of universal SYM
pathy. 81 know not" once said the
great Governor Andrew, what record
of sin may await me in another world;
but this | do know: l nerer yet despsed
a man because he was poor, because he
was ignorant, because he was black"
Shall | tell you how to become popu-
lar boy? i will. BE too manly and
generous and unseifish to seek to be
popular; be the soul of honor, and love
others better than yourself, and people
will give you their hearts and delight
to make you happy. That is what makes
boy popular.

donna leaves, (Atropa belladonua,
deadly nightshadD. You may feed
them with belladonna for weeks with
out observing the least toxic symptoms.
The meat of such animals proves poi
sonous to any one who eats it, produce
ing the same symptoms as the plant.
Pigeons and various other herbivOra
are also to some degree safe from the
effects of this poison, while in warm
blooded carnivora it causes paralysis
aud asphyXia. In frogs the effect is Il
different one, consisting OF spasms.
The meat of goats which had fed on
hemloCk has sometimes uccasiOued
poisonous fleets. Chickens are nearly
hardy against nuX voWiCa aud the eX-
tremely dangerous alkaloid, slrychuine,
contained in it, while in the smallest
amount it is Il fatal poison to rodents.
More remarkable yet in this respect is
the immunity of Chol0epus HQfmodni,
kind of slUlh, living on the island of
Ceylon, which, when given ten grains
of strychnine, was not much affected.
Pigeons are possessed OF high immunity
from morphine, the chief alkalold of
opium, as well as from belladOnna.
Eight grains were required to kill a
pigeon, not much less than the mortal
sensitive to foX-glove (DigitutiS pur-
pured), which, on the contrary, may be
given to rabbits and various birds in
pretty large doses.-Populor Science

Young Man, This is for You.

Q) Save part OF your weekly earn
ings, even if it be no more than quar-
ter of dollar, and put your savings
monthly in savings bank. (2) Buy
nothing till you can pay for it, and
buy nothing that you do not need.
A young man who has grit enough to
follow these rules, will have taken the
first step upward to success in business.
He may be compelled to wear a coat a
year longer, even if it be unfashion-
able; he may have to live in a smaller
house than some of his young acquaint-
ances; his wife may not sparkle with
diamonds nor be Respondent in silk
and satin, just yet; his children may
not be dressed as dolls or popinjays; his
table may be plain and wholesome, and
the whizz of the beer or champagne
cork may never be heard in his dwell
ing; he may have to get along without
the earliest fruit or vegetables; he may
have to abjure the club-room, the

reverence the Sabbath day and read
and follow the precepts of the Bible in
stead, but he will be the better off in
every way for this self-discipline. Yes,
he may do all these without detriment
TO his manhood or health or character.
True, empty-headed folk may sneer at
him and affect to pity him, but he will
find that he has grown strong hearted
and brave enough to stand the laugh of
the foolish. He has become an indie
pendent man. He never owes any
body, and so he is no mans slave. He
has become master of himself, and a
master of himself will become a leader
among men, and prosperity will crown
his every enterprise. Young man, life's
discipline and life's success come from
hard work and early self-denial, anC
hard-earned success is all the sweetel

your shoulder and you need propping

A Sisters Tribute.

Rose Terry Cooke writes the follow
ing to the Hartford COurant concerning
her brother, the late General Terry
"While so many obituary notices cele-
brate the late general A. II. Terry's
success as a soldier and character as a
man, may one who knew him in his
early childhood and loved him dearly
record in your columns how the child
was father to the man. We were c!.il-
dren together, and in the somewhat
turbulent crowd of cousins-for the
Terrys area hot-tempered race-Alfred
was always calm, kindly, generous. If
we had a quarrel, or some wrong among
us, our dear old grandfather always said -,
after hearing the eager and contradict
Ory statements of the others. Send for
Alfred; he will tell me the exact truth,
whether it is for or against him. l
can never remember that he was ever
selfish, eXacting or fretful, and | recol-
lect him so early that we played with
paper boats under the dining-room table
at my grandfather's house in Prospect
street, or kept house under the apple
trees in the great beautiful gsrden
across the street that is now built over,
but in those days was an earthly para
disc for the Terry children. AS he
was then so he grew into manhood, "A de-
voted son and brother, an atfectionate
kinsman. He always said he would
never marry as long as his widowed
mother lived, and faithfully he kept his
promise. From her he inherited the
sweetness and truth, the patience and
faithfulness that adorned his manliness
and illuminated his strength and cour-
age. His country mourns him to-day
but there is for him a deeper, an indy
ing grief, a more irreparable loss, in
the hearts of his own people, only to
be solaced by the consciousness that
the time is short between parting and
meeting.n

But frst-what constitutes a hero?
The dictionary tells us in three words,
"a brave man." Now | know that
"hero conveys to some of our minds
tall man of fine physique, in military
dress, going forth to battle, wiling and
glad to give his life for his country.
George Washington was a hero. But
there are other heroes-heroes who
fight their battles unaided by martial
music and public enthusiasm; heroes
whose uniform is like that of whom !
write, suit of blue duck overalls."
His story is short and simple. Born
and brought up in good family OF
comfortable means, and his education
finished, it became time for him to
show himself a bread-winner. He left
his country home for "a capital situation,
with good firm, in neighboring city.
Before long, by mutual understanding,
he left, having proved himself united
for the business. After that he took
other positions, but each time, through
no fault of his, but simply business in
capacity, he was obliged to give it up.
The man is no fool, but lacks energy of
disposition and of mind. We can not
all be Daniel Websters. To make long
story short, rather than be Idle and live
upon his friends, he is now salesm II
IN. 1ittln = pf hia n N
1t can not be agreeable to see the
look of surprise on the faces of his old
friends, or to do up bundles and carry
them out to the carriages of the young
ladies whom he used to take to drive,
and at whose houses he was so well
come. He h IS been maigned for his
conduct, in which he persists, neverthe-
less, and have been laughed to scorn
because | term him hero and a gen
tleman. Now, with whom do you
agree? l want humbly to ask another
question: "What is a gentleman"
We look again and find "a man of good
breeding and education" l heard one
young lady totally at loss to define her
idea Of one, and the query comes to me
Are we not installing the meaning
of this word, just trifle? Is a man
more of gentleman who drives fine
horses and lives handsomely, though he
neglects to don his hat and ruthlesslv
murders the kings English" than
one like my hero, who, less fortunate
earns his bread in manly way, and
shows the result of his good breeding?
Yes, in the eyes of the world. Em-
phatically, "No," to my mind. How
am / wrong? l really ask for informa-
ton, for / seem to be wofully be
muddled on this score. To my mind
(uninitiated in social distinctions) the
laborer who is pleasant in his home,
and would go out of his way to help a
body, is much more a gentleman in the
real sense of the word than the other
questionably, but so-called gentleman
who kicks his dog and yells at his valet.
All | can say is-if that is gentleman
| don't want to be one. And as to my
hero, l shall continue to call him such
for / can not, for the life of me, see
why a man who is doing his duty is moi
hero, despite his homely dress, ust
as much as one whose accoutrements
may be richer and whose cause more
patriotic.-Greenodk, IN Presbyterian.

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT READ MONDAY,
DECEMBER IA.
Every fact stated in the report sub
mitted by the committee of creditors of
the Bank of Columbia, on Monday, the
9TH December 1891 is sustained by the
banks books, and while we think every
one interested in the affairs of the bank,
both as debtors and creditors should
know all the facts, and that the detailed
report of the Committee should be at
all times open to the inspection of such
interested parties, we do not think it
any part of the duty of the committee to
prepare for publication any report which
would hazard the collection OF any debt
due the bank, simply to crafty idle Curl
oSity. We therefore suggest, that a
statement of the result of the investi-
CATION be made for publication, and
that the report in detail be reserved for
the inspection of all who are interested
in the affairs of the bank either as
debtors or creditors.
We respectfully ask that we be dis
charged from further service as COM
mittee, believing that we have done all
that is possible for us to do in the
matter.
