FOR BOYS INSTRUCTION.

Water will produce 100 times its vol
une in steam.
Why is the letter o the noisiest OF the
vowelsf Because all the rest are inaudible.
II apples become frozen let them alone
until they thaw out. We have known
them to do 1t without the loss of single
Sie.
To put button on the barn door is as
easy as to brace it open or shut, and easier
than mending and hanging it after the
wind has smashed it.
What did you learn, Tommy" asked
his mother on his rel birn from his first
day spent at school. "Didn't learn any
thing" said Tommy. Well, what did
you do?" "Didn't do anything. Awoman
wanted to know how to spell cat and
told her."
Boys, don't spend all the money you
can get for skates, etc. Put it by and set
your wits at work how to earn more and
add TO it. Before you know it you will
have 500, and then by letting this alone
st will return you s6 per year. To put by
the second hundred is easier than saving
the first. A very wealthy man recently
remarked that the most difficult part OF
all his money getting was saving the first
500.
The excessive use OF tobacco, so common
in all civilized countries, Is injurious TO the
health of the users; especially is it hurt
ful to boys. 1t is easy TO learn to smoke
or chew, but hard to abstain in after
years. The habit is very expensive, and
any boy who is ambitious to get along in
the world, TO be a man among men, with
q competence of health and wealth in old
age, should never touch tobacco. Let
boys make calculation like this: How
much money will a person spend in Atty
years for tobacco whose cigars cost him
ten cents a day, not forgetting the COM
pound interest?-Farm Journal.

She uttered an exclamation OF aston

name, Nick. Nick and Ned. Their names
go well together, but not better than do
the owners OF them, for Ned, as black as
coal, and Nick, as white as snow, have al
ways been the best OF friends. But let me
tell you about them.
One morning Nell came running in with
her eyes as big as saucers. Nick was in
the box OF shavings in the shed, with
three of the cunningest kittens you ever
saw.
"Now Ned's nose is broken!" cried
Nell.
But it wasn't, for pretty soon Nick came
In, ran up to Ned, and purred and talked
awhile; then he followed her out to the
she'd, and they stood looking at those kit
tens for as much as five minutes, Ned
gsgging his great tail, and looking as
pleased as a dog can look. Then what do
YOU suppose he did2 He took two of
those little blind kittens in his big mouth,
anu started for his kennel. Nick looked
NJ him a moment, then snatched the 9TH
er. and followed him, and they are there
yet.
IT looks queer to see big dog taking
care OF kittens, but Ned does it every day
while Nick is hunting mice. Isn't he a
noble fellow3-Harper's Young People.

And where left n nice cold fowl

And rolls upon my bed;
And when at night try to sleep
He howls upon the shed.

How Many Boys Can Write One I'm Fif-
teen Minutes, as This was.
Boys compositions are published often,
here is one written in school in fifteen
minutes by little girl OF eleven years.
The subject placed on the blackboard was /:
FAULT FINDING.
A fault finder is one who is to be
dreaded; one who throws a gloom over a
"would be " bright household by n con-
tinual grumbling. One in whose life no
bright and happy spot there is; for all,
all 10 blurred and darkened, and often,
yes, too often, does he darken his neigh
boris life by his incessant grumbling.
When once acquired, this most obnoxious
habit is very hard to get rid of, but
think by memorizing this little poem
they who are so unfortunate as to acquire
it, may, perhaps, free Themselves from its
hateful ties.
Bid your anger 10 depart,
Let IL pass;
Lay those homely words 10 heart,
Let it pass"
And IL this fails 60 help him, then this
Golden Rule may: Place yourselves in the
same position as those on whose head you
are about TO lay the blame, and Z" DO unto
others as you would have Others do unto
you"
