boiling kills the microbes in water,

What, Indeed

Among authors there are but few
who take the slightest interest in
social or political questions. SO far
as public questions are concerned,
they are hardly better informed than
Dante Gabriel Rossetti. During the
French revolution, one Of his friends
burst into Rossetti's studio with the
incredible news, Louis Philippe has
landed in England Has he?" said
Rossetti, calm y; what has he come
fOr?"

As a matter of fact a boy never
should laugh at his father until he
the boy is Is years Of age, at least
Earlier than that it is not safe. A
boy over near the university has for
several evenings stood up to eat his
meals, and all because he neglected
the above rule of conduct His
father takes great pride in the Ham
bletonian colt he is raising. The old
man fairly delights Ia pottering
around the stable, and he can hardly
wait until that colt is 4 years old
and trots a mile to harness in 2:05l,
as 1t surely will. The other morning
the pater was fuSsing around In an
old silk hat and equally venerable
great coat, pitchfork in hand, and
while he was walking about the colts
heels the boy gave the animal its
feed.
The colt does not allow any IA
miliarlties while feeding, and when
the old man, in STOPPING position,
backed up against him, the colt
dashed out with both feet. The man
stood so near that the kick broke no
bones, but no was shot as from a
catapult right through the clapboards
on the side of the barn. His head
was driven through his tile, and when
be -extrlcated himself from the splin-
tiers the rim of his headgear hung
around his neck like ruff. He re-
garded the whole business as rough,
and delivered an Grafton through his
hat which the boy regarded as anus
ing. The youngster laughed. First
he stood and laughed, then he laid
down and laughed, and rolled over
and over and Rugged himself and still
laughed. But when that devoted
father got clear from the wreckage
he seized the nearest strap, and the
boy has not smiled once since. The
boy knows now that he is not big
enough to laugh at his father.-Min-

The Ethics of WEAKNESS.

In lecture at Cambridge, England,
on the subject of "Weariness, Pro-
fessor Michael Foster said undue ex-
ertion was exertion in which the mus
cles worked too fast for the rest of the
body. The hunted hare died not be-
cause he was choked for want of breath,
not because his heart stood still, its
store of energy having given out, but
because poisoned blood poisoned his
brain and his whole body. So also the
schoolboy, urged by pride to go on
running beyond the earlier symptoms
of distress, struggled on until the
heaped mp poison deadened his brain,
and he fell dazed and giddy, as in n
fit, rising again, it might be, and
stumbling on unconscious, or half un-
conscious only, by mere mechanical
inertia of his nervous system, falling
once more, poisoned by poisons of his
own making. All our knowledge went
to show that the work of the brain,
like the work of the muscles, was ac-
companied by chemical change, and
that the chemical changes We're of the
same order in the brain as in the
muscle. If an adequate stream of pure
blood were necessary for the life of the
muscle, equally true, perhaps even
more true, was this of the brain. More
over, the struggle for existence had
brought to the front brain ever
ready to outrun It's more humble help
mate, and even in the best regulated
economy the period of most elective
work between the moment all the
complex machinery had been got into
working order and the moment when
WEAKNESS began to tell was bounded
by all too narrow limits. The sound
way to extend those limits was not so
much to render the brain more agile
as to encourage the humber help
mates, so that their more efficient CO.
operation might defer the onset of
weariness New York Press.

WISE WORDS.

Love g6:ns every time if is tested.
Home is the fortress of the virtues.
The truthful man is dead been dead
long time.
The real ruler of the man is within
him, not without.
The man who throws stone mt an
other hurts himself
1t is time wasted to argue with n
doubt. Kick it out.
It's the youngest man who thinks he
has the least time to spare.
The whisper of n slanderer can be
heard farther than thunder.
There is no good quality which does
not become a vice by excess.
A woman is seldom quite so happy
as when she is thoroughly miserable.
Finding fault with another is only n
roundabout way of Dragging on your
self.
Some people are kept poor because
they will not believe it is blessed to
give.
The man who is afraid to look his
faults squarely in the face will never
get rid of them.
No man is perfectly consistent He
who is nearest consistency steers the
crookedest course.

In his annual report Brigadier Gen
eral Carlin, commanding the Depart
ment of the Columbia, says that the
experiment of making the Indian a
soldier is decided failure so far as his
experience goes, and he has recon-
mended the discharge of the few Indian
soldiers now in his department, less
than n company. General Carlin re-
ports that there has been decided
increase in desertions during the past
year, due, in a great measure, to the
unpopularity of the ten year service
law, and he recommends the repeal of
that law. He also recommends that
the small posts in his department be
abandoned and the troops concentrated

TOmhs of the Danish Kings.

In the resting place of the old kings
of Denmark, the Cathedral of Rokes
kid, IA recent visitor notes that there
is n column against which number of
monarchs have been measured, and
upon which their different heights are
recorded. One of them is Peter the
Great, and we learn by this means
that the shipwright Car measured no
less than eighty Danish inches, equiv
alent to something like six feet, ten
incnt in our measurement. Only ono
other of the soyereigns was taller, and
that was Christian | of Denmark, who,
according 10 this authority, was just a
trife over seven feet English. The
Gar, Alexander III, is about six feet
