What Makes a Boy Popular

What makes boy popular? ?
Manliness, says Hczekiah Butter
worth in the Ladies Home Journal.
During the war, how schools and col
leges followed popular boys! These
young leaders 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 uni
versal sympathy. Il know not, E"
once said the great Governor An
drew, " what record OF sin may await
me i'm another world; but this / do
know: / never yet deSpised a man be-
cause he was ignorant, or because he
was black"
Shall tell you how to become n
popular boy? 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 n boy popular.

The Girl That Everybody Likes.
There is a type of a girl that every
body likes. The New York Sun item
ICES concerning her:
She is the girl who is not "too
bright and good " to be able to find
Joy and pleasure all over the world.
She is the girl who appreciates the
fact that she cannot always have the
first choice of everything in the world.
She is the girl who is not aggres-
sive and dose not find JOY in melting
aggressive people.
She is the girl who has tact enough
not to say the very thing that win
cause the skeleton i'm her friend s clos
ct to rattle his bones.
She is the girl who, whether it is
warm or cold, clear or stormy, finds
no fault with the weather.
She is the girl who, when you invite
her TO any place, compliments you
by looking her best.
She is the girl who is sweet and
womanly to look at and listen TO,
and who doesn' { strike you as poor
imitation of n demi-mondaine.
She is the girl who makes this
world pleasant place, because she is
so pleasant herself
And, by the by, when you come TO
think of it, isn't she the same girl
who makes you feel she likes you
and, therefore, you like her?

QUELLING A MUTINY.

lev mustered forty-four. The fight lasted
nearly four hours, and at times the native
canoes ran up within fifty yards. The aim
of the savages with their muskets was
wild and Intellectual, and the superior
range and power of the Snider rifle won
the day. The Bangala were appalled, at
the fact that the white mems bullets flew
to the shore and perforated their huts,
even striking down their old men and
iwomen who came out to look at the fight.
One more fight took place on the river, but
other trials beset the expedition, and it did
not reach the Atlantic coast until August,
eight months from the time of starting
from Nyangwe. Thirty-ive men had been
lost by battle, disease and accident, and
Stanley was the only European left.
The experiences of Stanley in the dis
covery Of Livingtone and the exploration
of Central Africa led up to the greatest
achievement of his life, the penetration of
the dark forest region between the Upper
Congo and Lake Albert with the Emin Re
lief expedition. The outfit for this enter
prise was most complete. The powerful
Arab, Tippoo Tib, was retained to furnish
under Stanley numbered over 700, with
600 carriers for the land journey. The men
about 500 fighting men and good compile
ment of under officers.
The expedition started in the summer of
1887, and all went happily until the hour
arrived for Tippoo Tib to lend hand. But
this rapacious Arab wanted more largess,
and did not put in an appearance at the
rendezvous on the Upper Congo. The bold
Stanley as usual decided to act on the re-
sources at hand, and dividing his expedi-
ton he left u reserve in II strongly in
trenched camp at Yambuya, and went
ahead with flying column to carry news
to Emin. Then began series of trials that
tested the mettle of this daring genius to
the utmost. The distance to be made be-
tween Yambuya and Lake Victoria, where
EEain was to be reached, was $50 miles

A Stream of Words.

Everybody knows in a general way
how much more talk than work is
done in the world, but few people
realize the fact until it is reduced to
figures. A speaker of average rapid
ity will use about 100 words a
minute, and in conversation the rate
is about the same, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. Now suppose the
average talker talks four hours a day
he will repeat $4,000 words each day,
equal to II columns of the paper or
to 4S pages of a book of ordinary
size. In a year he will have uttered
words that will fill 1880 pages, or
30 volumes of 500 pages each, and
in thirty years 1850 volumes will be
filed with the nothings that are said
from moment to moment. This cal
culation is for Il man; for a woman,
of course, the figures would be at
least doubled.

On the first days march hostile M
tives were encountered, and every device
known to cunning and cruel savages was
employed to harm the expedition. Several
men were killed and an officer severely
wounded by poisoned arrows. Another
evil which Stanley had hoped TO avoid bv
taking the Congo route cropped out at the
end of couple of nQnths. This was the
Arab pest. These people re the enemies

The time passed in the wilderness was 100
days. An average-of six miles was made
each day of actual travel All possible
haste was made 50 that the savages should
not muster in hordes along the route and
overwhell the travellers. In December
they reached land ofabundant forage near
the lake, and for Il few days feasted upon
plenty. However, new troubles arose. A

scattered settlements. Fierce war cries
rang through every valley and echoed from
u hundred hills.
Stanley seized an elevation, and with his
few men stood at bay. An attempt at
parley YVES answered with the yell meaning
"war," and two arrows were fired at the
interpreter. Tha fighting men of the ex-
petition were divided into four companies
of 30, so, 90 and 10, and led down from
the hill By covered paths to the plain. As
soon as they come within sight the arrows
fell in showers. But long range rifles
and surprising boldness in charging put
the savages to rout in n short time. Stan
ley's men fired several villages, and re-
turned to their camps only 70 be beset
again. Once more the little companies
went out to the charge and several more
villages were burned. The fight lasted the
day out, and the settlements were in the
end totally destroyed.
After considerable more fighting for
roadway Lake Albert was reached Dec. IA,
but Emin was not at thg appointed rem
dezVuusfand mo Ines-s'ssSTfrpn hlm was
found In order to Tighten burdens Stan
ley had left his boat 100 miles back, and he
could not seize one without provoking
war, which he could i'll afford. His am
munition was nearly gone and there was
no boat material at hand. In this extrem-
ity the fate of the expedition again fell
back upon Stanley's ready genius and re-
source. Selecting favorable region re-
Gently passed through, he built fort and
placed garrison to hold it and plant corn.
After forty-seven days of illness Stanley
set out again for Emin's land. His boat
had been brought up and his flying column
was all together at the fort, He reached
Emin at the end of April, 1888.
But the finding of Emin, which had been
the special task of the flying column, was
not the end of the expedition. The great
need was ammunition, and the stores of
this were back with the rear column.
Stanley returned to Fort Bodo in June, and
not finding the party on hand he decided to
go back in person and lead it forward. Two
hundred carriers were taken from his own
force and Emin's, and with these he hasten
ed back through the forest toward the
Congo, and in August met tee belated re-
serve few marches i'll advance of where
he left it fourteen months before. The delay
had occurred chiefly through Tippoo Tbs
breach of faith. All the carriers were mus
tered and laden with ammunition and a
few loads of goods for tribute en- route, and
after numerous trials, among them battles
with cannibals, starvation ratiOns, when
men were reduced to a cup Of thin broth
each day and were driven to suicide by
despair, he reached Fort Bodo in December,
and found himself on sure ground once
more. The garrison was in good condition,
and a full granary and growing crops
proved the wisdom of holding on to a sue
cess once gained.
Stanley's work has not passed through
historical criticism, yet his stories remain
before the world virtually unchalienged.
