Dull Boys and Mechanical Ability

Great has always been the comfort
that the parents of boys dull at their
books have had in thinking that they
would probably be particularly bright in
some other direction. If there was any
doubt about it, the fact could always be
proved by stories of artists, writers and
musicians, who have been thought dull
ards at school. But mechanical genius
and dullness at books do not, it is said,
go hand in hand. The director of large
western school of manual training says
of such cases: LAS rule, such boy fails
to show marked ability of any sort. A
boy who comes to us with passion for
machinery, who cannot be kept away
from engines. the rattle of cogs and the
swapping of belts, never gets beyond a
sort of morbid. simple curiosity to see
the wheels go round He develops no
curiosity nor the ability to do good, &C.

Two miles south of Gainesville is

wonder why it is called prairie

On the edge of the prairie, half walled
in by rock, dense with immense trees
drap"d in long festoons of moss, is a
pool Of water called "The Sink" The
depth of it has never been sounded.
From this sink an underground river
flows and makes its way no one knows

land, trees al.i all, will fall into the

Il is true that the verification Of the
germ origin of disease has thrown very
little light on the subject of curing dis
ease. The microbe evaded discovery until
the midday of science and seems able yet
to evade it's enemies. But the discovery
has made the prevention of disease Ger
tainty. The microbe can be prevented from
termination in soil, air, water and organic
matter. The general public, however, are
not yet ready to do this work. They dc
not appreciate its Importance or their priv
ileges. No doubt the time will come when
the preventible diseases will be prevented,
and the necessity of cure will BIO suppressed.

may have been for this reason that the

lie in the direction Of slight uncertainty,
occasional lack of perfect blending. and.
now and then, in the purely negative
direction Of missing possible forceful
effects. But this must be expected in
all but the greatest work.
Miss Turner's solo, Happy Moments"

hute-like melting quality. But her
singing lacked strength, the certainty
that must underlie sweetness. She

the effect Of vacillation, not of ease and
Of reserved power. Were this overcome.

day to the first OF the music services at
the Universalist church. This must
have been owing to the meagerness of
announcement, and a second Sunday
should bring the old attendance. These
services deserve t. become an '.insti-

and particularly in our town,
which most concert companies as yet
pass by on the other side, institutions
Of this kind.
Mr.. Hagenow's quartet is not a

rival, nor does it pretend to rival the
few preeminent quartets. 1t can and
does give, on the afternoon OF each Sun
day, little Of the best of some OF the
best musicians, an artistic appreciative
rendering of the sermons of the master
musician minds. In music we are, we
that are confined to one city and to one
date, rather better off than in the mat
ter OF sermons. The greatest preachers
can be but in one place at one time, can
preach one sermon but once. These
sermons OF the musicians are the same
always and everywhere, and the music
OF Beethoven can thrill us as years ago,
it thrilled the hearts Of men in far-awa
Germany. And, besides, music has no
creed, nothing is more INSTRUMENTATION.
al, in its religion, nothing in its unde-
nominationalism could be more relig-

But the passing Of one man through
this wide and crowded thoroughface is
a calamity. No one who has not made
the effort and failed knows what it is
to acknowledge defeat and make an
unconditional surrender; no one who
has not done this can appreciate the
calamity which has befallen this one
man. To do business, to feel yourself
factor in the great trade Of the city,
to buy and sell, TO make obligations and
meet them, to be looked upon as sue
cess is one thing. To be ground be-
tween the upper and neither grindstone,
to be crowded out, to feel yourself de-
feated, to meet failure face to face and
yield to the stress OF circumstances, to
give up we'll fought battle and begin
all over again is another thing. 1t is
far different thing. 1t may not be
calamity to the community; but it is to
the individual. A great disappoint-
ment is worse than railroad collision.

friend. When the tide was running
his way people liked to do business with
him, liked to know him. He was a gen.
tleman; hearted, kindly, honest.
His good will and his friendship were
not things to be kicked about. Now
that the current has set the other way
he is still the same and he will always
be the same. The circumstances have
changed. that is all. He is still all that
he was and his friendship today is just
as valuable as it was last week. He has
accepted the buffeting which fate has
given him in manly, courageous way.
He still thinks that life is worth living
ana / admire his pluck and his courage.
Not all have enjoyed what he has en-
joyed. Few are able to give up so
gracefully.
Less than two years ago this man
became interested, more as a pastime
than anything else, in a business Of a
public nature, and it may be interesting
to his friends to know that what was
his pastime has now become his bust
