BILL NYE'S ADVICE.

Bill Nye in a letter to his son
gives the following advice: l know
not what business you will adopt
when you leave college but if you
marry a very beautiful girl you are
liable to find nude statue OF her at
the Worlds Fair sometime. 1t is
only in novels Henry that you read
of man with a beautiful wife who
does not divide her beauty between
him and the public. Lots OF beauti-
full women are good Henry, but
would not care to be the footman OF
beautiful woman. In my palmy
davs l owned handsome fast mare,
and in our neighborhood | was
known as the man that owned that
mare. That was all. If | tried TO
harness she kicked nine kinds OF
talents out of me. Nobody knew
nv name; but they all knew where
the mare lived and sometimes they
would ask me to show her to them
and they would admire and criticise
her and give me 20 cents and go
away.

One species Is precisely like the mouth
of cutie fish, and others like spiders,
in which the resemblance is equally
strong; and in not few species the
flowers exactly initiate the various in
sects. This is particularly the case
in the butterfly orchid, the flowers are
so exactly In form and color like
gaudy butterfly. Can the likeness be
a sort of decoy, do you think, to allure
the very kind Of insects thew want for
the fertilizlng of the same howers7
Very likely it is so.
But there are seeds that are fertiized
by the wind, and thus transported
from flower to flower. They do not
need the insects to help them, but you
will find, when that is the case, that
they are nearly devoid of scent, or
brilliant color-nothins to demand at
tention from anybody, and never for a
moment to be compared to their more
gaudy brethren that are left alone for
the insects, without whom we should
not have the least of perfumes and
color with which our woods and
meadows abound every year, for they
are necessary to the plants very ex-
istence. So we see that every tint,
streak, shape, color, and odor can be
accounted for, and that the distribution
of all these things over flowers is not
accidental. There are, indeed strange
contrivances in every department of the
natural world, and the more we know
abont it the more we see what strong
evidences of invention there is in it all.
Every blossom and every creeping In
sect brings abundant testimony to the
existence and providence of a great

WHEN MEN ARE PAST FORTY.

Mere walking exercise, although it is
invaluable, hardly fulflls the idea OF
perfect recreation. Sir James Pagsf
says "good, active recreations" ought
TO Include uncertainties, wonders and
opportunities for the exercise of skill in
something different from the regular
work." The present writer is always
longing for cricket in the summer and
football or hockey In the winter and
spring, but he cannot find a man any
where above 40 years of age who will
agree with him. Why should the
literary man, the doctor and the stock
broker or the merchant not play cricket
over As,
What is to become OF his dinner
hour? is it asked. II better lunch
con were taken at midday and lighter
dinner at 6 in the evening, there is no
reason whatever why man of As and
up to IS or 10 should not be in the
cricket field at 7.3o and play briskly
until Q or go. An hour and half at
cricket after light dinner would
make middle aged men so young
that they would not know themselves.
Writers would write as brilliantly, and
business men would be cleverer and
keener by half.
As it is, the average middle aged
Englishman &C the professional ana
business classes grows fatter, ~Aeezler,
more pompous and more dull and un'
interesting every year of his life. 10
get laugh out of him is impossible to
crack Joke at his expense is to COM
nit the objectionable sin, "poor old
porpolse," as somebody has called him.
His innocent pleasures have vanished
with his youth, and he has nothing now
left to live for but his respectsolllty, MS
solemn respectability, and his money
bags.
The contrast between the youthful
Euglishman and his middle aged
parent is sometimes startling. The
former is all life and fun Il; the latter is
moving mountain of ponderosity and
fat 1t is all for want of outdoor exer
else and recreation. Twenty five year:
ago the solemn father Of today was the
fun loving son of a middle aged father
If anybody had then shown him in
prophetic mirror the figure ne woult
cut at the end of quarter OF century
he would have comitted suicide II
sheer vexation and disgust.
But all this rotundity, wheeziness
lrritability of temper, incapacity TO
work and general disgust with life ant
all things in 1t can be cured-cure'
easily and cured forever, and the cur
for the vast majority of cases is one o.
two hours daily exercise and recreation
