What a Boy Did in a Year
iKind Words. !

He begged the Office OF sexton in
the little Western church, and earned
seventy-fve cents a week.
He picked one hundred quarts Of
fruit for a neighbor.
He bought and sold eleven dozen
chickens and cleared five dollars on
them.
When he could get no other work a
neighbor's wood pile was always ready,
at dollar a cord for saving and split
ting. He earned thirteen dollars and
seventy five cents on his wood pile.
For doing chores, cleaning yards,
doing errands, ETC., he received ten
dollars.
For milking COWS, taking care of
horses, ETC., for neighbors, twenty
dollars.
At the end Of the year the fourteen
year-old boy bad earned a little more
than one hundred dollars, and never
missed day at school. 1t was busy
year, yet play hours were scattered all
along swimming, fishing, hunting,
skating and coasting each found its
place. The old adage proved true in
his case: "Where there's a will
| there's a way" He never missed a
| job; when other boys were ilde he wa:
busy and the best of all that | car

The Boys Who Smoke and Those
Who do Not.
baltimore Sun.

All observant teachers are aware OF
the effect which the use of tobacco has
upon the school boys. 1t is declared
by men of long experience in teaching
that smoking makes boys sluggish and
that the capacity for study is greatly
impaired. Recently Investigations have
been made to ascertain the effect of
tobacco upon the physical develop
ment. The board of health of the
State of New Jersey has issued circu-
lars to teachers of the public schools
of the State containing interrogatores
upon this subject. DR.. Laban Dennis,
of Newark, who has paid much atten-
ton to the subject, has prepared an
article giving the results of some OF
his investigations, which appears in
the report Of the board of health for
1892.
1t seems that measurements made
ofIS7 students at Yale College showed
that the non users of tobacco gained
over the users during the college year
in weight 22 per cent, in height 29H
per cent, in girth Of chest 70 per
cent, in lung capacity 66 per cent.
Measurements made at Amherst Col
lege showed even greater difference
in favor of those who do not use to-
bacco.
There is really but little temptation
for boys to smoke. In order to &C
quire the habit they undergo agonies
of nausea, and the chief incentive to
the habit is, perhaps, the belief that
it increases their importance. 1t is
useless to argue with them or to ad-
wise them that they lower themselves
in public estimation by smoking, rather
than raising themselves. But if it is
possible to convince them that their
standing in baseball or football will
be impaired by the habit, the more
ambitious boys will give up tobacco
OF this the athletic associations oea'
abundant testimony. Members O
them have reported that the use of to-
bacco is harmful to young men in
training for a contest which require:
strength and endurance.

Ladies' Sleeves for the Summer
Season---How to Make Them.

The most essential feature of our pres
cnt modes is the pre-eminent part which
the sleeves take in the general make up
Of a toilette. They constitute the dom
inant note, the striking accessory which
cOmpeis the attention of the behOlder.
In point Of variety Of details, such as
drapcries, trimming and OrnamrntatiOn,
they surpass any other part OF the cos
tune. To this complication must be
added the further necessity OF knowing
the historical origin and ascertaining he
style most suitable to the figure of each
individual wearer. The we'll known and
popular Mcdowell Fashion Journals are
excellent guides in this embarrassing
perplexity. Recognizing the important
role OF the sleeve in our styles, they have
devoted many lessons to the different
kinds of the prevailing sleeves and the
manner OF making them. These lessons
are invaluable. They will be found in
. La Mode de Paris, in g Paris album Of
Fdshion," and in g Tile French Dressmaker,
formerly La Coutwiere. The former two

pretty folds, too, when you let it fall
loosely back. The crossing straps
make the soft silk shirt worn with the
plain skirt more snug and pretty than
its own belt unassisted could do. When
the cloak is fastened it is like any
other cloak, except perhaps that it fits
in the back little more exactly than
does the usual belted-in cloak. This,
of course, is because the fastening at
the top as we'll as below in the back
holds it better. Made of some ser
viceable plaid or check stuff as was the
garment of this sketch, with a gen.
erous and practicable hood, the hood
and cloak both we'll lined, it will prove
an especially good garment for the
tri to the Fair, that we are all of us
going to take. When we want a
change Of dress we can let the cloak
be open when we want another
change we can wear it shut t; yet
another alteration we can accomplish
by wrapping it close about US, and in
all ways it will be pretty.
The second picture shows a useful
and charming toilet. The front can
be either gathered in or left quite
loose, the latter is preferable for
morning wear, while the other method
looks more dressy. The sleeves are
trimmed to the elbow with guipure. Any
shade can be placed under the guipure,
but green is exceptionally fashionable
just now. The skirt is a tailor made
one. The little jacket would look
we'll trimmed with ball fringe.
A few years ago it was considered a
necessity that the greatest attention
should be given to the making and
fitting of the bodice of gown and
the skirt, in comparison, was of no,
or very little consequence. But at
the present time the Importance OF
the latter cannot be over-rated. The
/! fashionable, voluminous skirt is looked
upon with a feeling akin to horror by
! those whose purses are not very elastic,
