The youth of high scholastic attain
ments who is always carrying off prizes
naturally raises hopes of his subsequent
success in a particular career. OF course
the most is made of him. He is not only
a credit to himself, but TO his teachers;
to the latter, indeed, he is practical
certificates human document"-of
the first class. Finally he leaves school,
and it is confidently predicted that, if
he does not achieve greatness in the bat
tie of life, it can only be ON account of
some moral flaw which has not vet had
time TO declare itself
But the dull boy" seldom receives
the benefit of the doubt in any specula-
ton as to his future, Once dubbed
ounce" or reputed "slow," and he Is
allowed to develop in the shade, emerg-
ing from which he satisfies or surprises
his friends only because nothing was ex-
pected of him. No one can dispute the
claim of Sir Isaac Newton to a monu-
ment in Westminster abbey, nor to the
praise conferred by Pope's well known
epitaph:
Nature and natures laws lay hid in night.
God said, LET Newton be-" and all was light,
Nevertheless the greatest of English
philosophers was a so called ounce" at
school. Sir David Brewster tells US that
Newton made little progress until one
day the boy who was above him having
given him severe kick in the stomach,
from which he suffered great pain, he
labored necessarily till he got above
him in the school, and from that time
continued to rise until he was the head
bov."-London Standard.

Tho Dewey system.

The Dewey system of cataloguing a
library was devised by Mr.. Melvil Dew
ey, at present director of the state IL
brary. In it all books are classified into
certain number of principal subjects,
which, in alphabetical order, receive
numbers; for instance, astronomy may
be /. Then the subjects are divided,
and each division receives decimal;
for example, history may be /; thus
the history of astronomy is numbered
IL. The divisions are further subdi-
vided, and each subdivision receives a
number expressing hundredths. Books
On the history of astronomy in America
might be liz.
After these come, when necessary,
further subdivisions still, and then, in
practice, come the shelf marks, which
show where the book is to DO found.
The system, theoretically, is perfect;
practically it is cumbrous, and, except
tothe cataloguer, unsatisfactory. Ada IT.
ed in various ways, it is used in many
libraries, however.-New York Sun.

On the first consignment of seidlitz
powders to the capital of Delhi the
monarch was deeply interested in the ac-
counts Of the refreshing box. A box
was brought to the king in full court,
and the interpreter explained to his maj
esty how it should be used. Into a COB
let he put the twelve blue papers, and
having added water, the king drank it
off. This was the alkali, and the royal
countenance expressed no sign of salts
faction. 1t was then explained that in
the combination of the two powders lay
the luxury, and the twelve white pow
ders were quickly dissolved in water,
and as eagerly swallowed by his ma
jesty.
With shrek that will be remem-
bered while Delhi is numbered with the
kingdoms the monarch rose, stared, ex-
ploded and in his full agonies screamed
Hold me down." then rushing from the
throne fell PROSTATE on the floor. There
he lay during the long continued effer-
vescence of the compound, squirting like
10000 pennyworths of imperial pop, and
believing himself in the agonies of death,
q melancholy and humiliating proof that
kings are mortal. Indian Mirror.
