What Makes a Boy Popular

What makes boy popular? Manliness.
During the war how schools and colleges
followed 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 knight The
boy who will never violate 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 feelings of any one will one day find
himself in the atmosphere of universal
sympathy. 81 know not" once said the
great Governor Andrew, what record of
sin may await me in another world; but
this do know; / never yet despised q man
because be was poor, because he was igno-
rant or because he was black"
Shall tell you how TO become a popular
boys will Be too manly and generous
and unselfsh 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 q boy popular.-HeLe-
kiah Butterworthi in Ladies Home Journal.

Gold in Co1ors.

When gold is dissolved in nitro-muriatic
acid it forms chloride Of gold, beautiful
yellow liquid used by gilders, photogrs-
pliers and others. When this solution is di-
luted with water, and chloride of tin is
added, metallic gold is precipitated as a
beautiful purple powder, which is used for
gliding and coloring porcelain and glass.
This powder is called ''puTpie OF Cassius, "
from the name of its discoverer, Andreas
Cassins, of Leyden. who made it for the
first time in the year 1885.
In gliding porcelain il is spread upon the
pattern by means Of . paste, and by the
action OF beat in the oven IL takes the or
dinary golden hue and brilliancy, but by
modifying the composition Of the paste il
yields also rose and purple coiors. When
small quantity of it Is mixed with the
materials used in making glass the glass
produced has . magnificent ruby tint, seen
TO perfection in the well known Bohemian
glass.-Chsmbers' Journal.

Take NV Seat, Madam" :"

Every seat in the bridge car was occu-
pied when = negress got aboard the train.
Her arms were full of bundles and she ap-
peared to be weary. As she tried to clutch
a strap she dropped package, and in
STOPPING to pick it up stumbled. She
would have fallen, too, had not a gentle
man sprang to her aid.
With an outstretched arm he helped her
to regain her balance, secured the stray
bundle and then led her TO the seat he had
just vacated.
Take this seat, madam, if you please, I"
he said
For moment the negress hesitated and
then sat down, after incoherently murmur-
ing her thanks.
The episode created a sensation among
the passengers, all of whom were men.
As the unknown gentleman was leaving
the car friend was overheard to ask him:
George, are you getting near sighteds"
mo; why do you ask such a question:"
'Why3 Because you gave up your seat
to that negress. / think you are over
straining yourself in trying to be polite :"
Not at all, my dear fellow. 1 gave up
my seat to her simply because she was a
woman. | should have despised myself
for remaining in my seat because she was

Gold in the Arts.

From historical and political point Of
view gold is perhaps the most interesting
of all the metals. Since the earliest ages
mankind has had an instructive attraction
for it. Some years ago celebrated pro-
fessor admitted three little children, who
could only just walk. into a room where
there was gold ball and silver ball, each
exactly of the same size, upon the floor
They all instinctively stretched out their
little hands toward the gold ball, and did
not appear to take the slightest notice of
the other.
'Its peculiar properties and its scarcity
have rendered gold more valuable than
any other metal" says DR.. Thomas Thorn
son. But gold is only valuable on account
of its comparative rarity and some of its
properties, which are exceedingly remark
able, such as its inalterability when kept
exposed to the air. its ductility, and its
malleability. In other respects it is far
less valuable than iron, which, if we except
aluminium, is the most common metal of
the earth's strata.
The attempts of the alchemists to con-
vert other metals into gold form an inter
esting and not altogether unimportant
period in the history Of the development
of science. This period extends more or
less over twelve centuries, and though
modern chemistry has since been estab-
lished on firm basis there still exist here
and there in Europe a few persons who
propagate the ideas of the alchemists, and
believe that it is not only possible to trans
mute metals, but that as chemical science
progresses so will medical knowledge

Several FeastinO Customz

It is fortunate that some rules in relation
to repletion are no longer observed. One
which was noticed among the Hurons and
Algonquins of Canada by the early French
missionaries, and styled by them le festin
a manger tout consisted in observing, as
religious custom, gluttonous obligation
which sometimes ended in the death of the
human hog. In observing this curious Gus
tom, which all old accounts say was often
attended with much loss of life, the com
municant was expected to eat every parti-
Gle of food that was set before him.
A festival somewhat of the same nature,
celebrated in cultured England" during
the reign of Henry ", and even later, was
called 'glutton mass" A less dangerous.
because regulated, custom of repletion was
formerly, according to Brahman tradition,
very prevalent in India. Before cOmmenc-
ing the carouse, however, the willy Brah-
mans took the precaution to bind their Rb-
domens with bands OF straw: their modi-
fed 'glutton mass" was not 20 eat every
thing in sight, but only until the straw
bands should burst.-St. Louis Republic.
