Point. About Burglary.

Burglary cannot be committed in the
daytime. The English rule is that if
there is light enough to see the face OF
the intruder there is no burglary. This,
however, does not include moonlight, for
however brightly the moon may be shin
ing, is legally burglar, that is il it is
reasonably certain that he has entered
with the, intent to commit felony, for
while tramp breaking into house to
sleep may be a housebreaker, he is not in
the proper sense Of the word burglar.
Burglary, however, may consist in
breaking out as well as breaking in, for
one who hides in house before nightfall
to steal, and after stealing breaks out to
get away, is just as much burglar as he
who to effect his purpose breaks in.

The influence Of diet upon the growth
OF hair is the subject OF a paper in a
recent number OF the British Medical
Journal. The writer says: "Several
cases OF shedding OF hair after influenza
have confirmed my opinion that diet has
much to do with the production and
with the cure of symptomati alopecia.
Hair contains five per cent. Of sulphur,
and Its ash twenty per cent. OF silicon
and ten per cent. Of iron and manganese.
Solution Of beef, or rather part OF It,
starchy mixtures, and even milk,
which constitutes the diet OF pa
tients with influenza and other fevers,
cannot supply these elements, and
atrophy at the root and falling
Of hair result. The color and strength Of
hair in young mammals is not attained so
long as milk il their sole food. AS to
drugs, iron has prompt influence. The
foods which most abundantly contain the
above named elements are the various
albuminoids and the oat, the ash Of that
grain yielding twenty-five per cent. OF
silicon. have often found a dietary
largely composed Of oatmeal and brown
bread greatly promote the growth OF hair,
especially when the badness was pre-
coded by constipation and sluggish capil-
Larry circulation. Those races of men who
consume most meat are the most hirsute."

a LnNxer,. scrnples.

The late Robert Toombs, Of Georgia,
had large practice at the bar, but he al
ways showed that he was more concerned
for the honor Of his profession than for
its rewards.
On one occasion he said to client who
had stated his case to him, Yes, you can
recover in this suit, but you ought not to
do SO. This is a case where law and JUS
tice are on opposite Sides"
The client told him he would push the
case anyhow.
Them" replied Mr.. Toombs, "you
must hire some one else to assist you in
your rascality."
At another time lawyer went to him
and asked what he should charge a client
in case to which Mr.. Toombs had just
listened in the court house.
"Well," said Toombs, !" should charge
a thousand dollars, but you ought to have
five thousand, for you did great many
things that would not have done."-

FIRST WHEAT IN AMERICA.

The first wheat raised in the New
World was sown ON the island of Isa-
bella in January, 1494, and on March
30th the grain was gathered. The
foundation of the greatwheat industry
in Mexico is said to haye been three
grains carried into that country by one
of the slaves of the Cortez company.
The first crop of wheat raised in South
America was grown in the garden of a

In q lengthy article in the New York
Tribune Mr.. Andrew Carnegie discusses
the education OF the boy who has to
make his way in the world. lIc is
talking about. tn. lad who inherits the
blessing OF honcst poverty, not the one
who is born with a silver spoon in his
mouth and is not expected 10 accom-
plish much in the world.
Mr.. Carnegie insists that for such 4
boy all tho time wasted on the dead Ian
guages is so much lost time, occupying
attention which should be given to fit
ting tho boy for what he is to do. While
Mr.. Carnegie does not say so, the spirit
OF his article warrants the ption
that he is talking about boys who in
tend 10 pursue business careers, not
those who will enter the learned pro-
LESSONS. He says that the time con-
sumcd in getting the little that students
get OF the dead languages should be
spent in learning the business which
they are to follow; and, as 4 business
man OF experience, he lays it down as u
fact beyond controversy that the young
man who begins his business career
early has m immense advantage over
the other young man who comes into
business after graduating from the uni
vcrsity.
These views arc not considered SO
hertical rs they once were In this re-
spcct there has been a marked change
OF opinion in recent years. 1t is no
longer considered necessary to a liberal
education that q young man shall have
read so many books OF Greek and
Latin. Greek has given way to studies
OF more present moment and Latin is
letting 80 its hold.
Young men OF good parts under good
advice are giving more attention to the
English literature, language and his
tory, more heed to tho history and in
situations of their own country, striving
more and more to follow those lines OF
study which shall best fit them for the
work they hope to do.
The desire for more practical educa-
ton is witnessed in the growing de-
mand for technical instruction. The
demand OF the time is not so much for
young men who have spent years on
the dead languages and after all know
very little about them as it is for young
men. who know how to make things
which the world wants and how 10
direct their operation after they are
made. The educated head and the edu-
Gated hand count Tor most in this prac-
teal time.
