Note Well Young Man.

The following article, from the Nor
folk Landmark, is SO full OF sensible
advice, and hits the nail so squarely
on the head, that we reproduce it and
commend it to the careful considera-
ton of our readers, especially to those
who depend upon their own eXertions
for success. 1t is great mistake for
employees to think that their employ
ers do not take careful note of those
who serve them best, and the faithful
discharge of their obligations will in
the end, he rewarded by advancement.
Men or women who give their best eff
forts to those who employ them will
rarely want positions, and another
thing worth considering is the fact
that other employers note industry in
the performance of duty, and the man
or Woman who is thus noticed will al
ways be in demand:
Zone great trouble with proprietors
and men of business is that they do
not suit their clerks and other employ
ees. If they would do just as their
subordinates wish, they would un-
doubtedly have much easier time
while they lasted. Now the applica-
ton of this is that young men do not,
as a rule, appreciate the discipline they
get in enforced obedience to rules and
orders when given. AS Rudyard Kip
ling well says, every man who is work
ing for another should understand that
when an order is given for q thing to
be done it is hardly permissible to go
i'm a walk to obey; run is the better
gait. Absolute fidelity to the service
IN which one is engaged, whether it is
agreeable Or not, with purpose to do
the very best one can is the secret of
success, because the habit is acquired
of working with the traces stretched.
and, without abatement of energy and
zeal, is worth dollars when it comes to
be engaged in ones own enterprise.
"Many men feel that they are at lib
erty to use the time for which they are
paid by others to engage in side enter
prises, to use it in diversions of various
kinds, and it Oftens happens that the
employers interest is made secondary.
This is all wrong and will, sooner or
later, come home with distressing en-
phasis. Our advice to all young
friends is to mind their employers bus
mess, for ii is Only y moral and legal
duty which they are in justice bound
to perform, but in doing SO they are
minding their own business in way
most profitable to them.
'"To the young man or woman who
makes it rule of life to be absolutely
loyal, earnest and active in the place
where they are thrown for business.
will rarely have to ask for promotion
or to complain of inadequate pay.
The agent who is indispensable is he
who makes himself Invaluable by al
aggressive and untiring zeal for those
in whose interest he is engaged, when
he comes to be master Of his own bus
mess he will bring to it the excellent
qualities and good business habits
which have been acquired in faithful
and unfailing service to his former su-
periOr officer or business master"

WONDERS OF LIFE REPRODUCTION.
According to the naturalists, a scor-
pion will produce IS of its species in
single season; a common fly, l44; a
leech, $50, and spider 10. The hy-
drachna produces 600 eggs, and COM
mon frog, 1,lOO. The female moth is
credited with exactly the same number
of eggs as the frog, and the tortoise
100 less, or an even 1000. The gall in
sect lays $4,000 eggs, the shrimp, 5000,
and over 10000 eggs have been found
in the ovaries of a captured ascarls.
One naturalist reports finding over r.
600 eggs in female lobster, and an
other found $1,000. The multilla, an
insect very similar to the ant, has been
known to lay $4,000 eggs in single
day, and Leuwenhock attributes 4,OOO,-
600 for the season rs the female crabs
share in reproducing her species. More
than $4,000 eggs have been counted in
q herring, 49, 900 in smelt, l,0OO,O0O in
a sole, l,l3O,OO0 in the roach, 3,OOO,OOO
in the sturgeon, $4,000 in the carp,
$50, 900 in q tench, SAG, ,O00in mackerel,
$4,000 in perch, and 1857 900 in a
founder. But of all the fish hitherto
discovered the cod appears to be the
most wonderfully prolific. One re-
liable naturalist reports 1856, 600 eggs
from q single female in one season, and
another as many as 9,444, 600.

Cigarettes.

Do you care TO know how they are
made? think | can enlighten you.
An Italian boy only eight years old
was brought before a justice in New
York City as u vagrant, or, in other
words, a young tramp. Butwilh what
did tie officer charge him? Only
with picking up cigar stumps from
the streets and cutters. TO prove this
he showed the boys basket, half full
of stumps, water-soaked, and covered
with mud.
"What do you. do with these?"
asked his Honor.
What do you think was his answer ::
IL sell them to a man for ten cents a
pound, to be used in making cigar
ettes."
Not a particularly agreeable piece of
information, il it, boys?
In our large cities there are a great
manly cigar butt gubbers, rs they are
called. 1t certainly IS not IA pretty
name, though very appropriate; for it
is applied to boys and girls who scour
the streets in search of half-burned
cigars and stumpa, which are dried
and then sold to be used i'm making
cigarettes.
But this isn't all, nor even the worst
of it. These cigarettes have been
analyzed, and physicians and chemists
were surprised to find how much
opium is put into them. A tobacconist
himself says that "the extent to which
drugs are used in cigarettes is appall-
ing" Havana tlavoring' for this
same purpose is sold everywhere by
the thousand barrels. This flavoring is
made from the tOnka bean, which
contains a deadly poison, The wrap
pers, warranted to be rice paper, are
some etimes made of common paper
and sometimes of filthy scrapings OF

What q cheat to be practiced on
people
Think Of it. boys. The next time
you take up cigarette drop it as you
would coal Of fire. The latter would
simply burn your fingers; but this
burns up good health, good resolutions
good manners, good memories, good
faculties, and often honesty and
! truthfulness as well
A bright boy of thirteen came under

and subject to nervous twitching, ill
finally lie was obliged TO give up his
studies. When asked why lie didn't
throw away his miserable cigarettes
the poor boy replied with tears thai
he had often tried to do SO, but could
not.
Another boy of eleven was made
crazy by cigarette smoking, and was
taken TO an insane asylum in Orange
County, n. Y. He was regarded as q
violent and dangerous maniac, exhibit
ing some of the symptoms peculiar to
hydrophobia.
The white spots on the tongue and
inside the cheeks, called smokers
patches, are thought by Sir Morell
| Mackenzie to be more common will
users of cigarettes than with Other
smokers.

In n Blind school.

A visitor to famous school for the
blind in England saw SOME remark
able sights. :,
In one room the teacher was rea i
ing story, and the children We're
writing it down on paper. Instead OF
using pen and ink, they were picking
holes in the paper with steel points.
Their fingers are so sensitive that oy
touching these punctures they can
read easily. 1t seemed strange TO see
some of the pupils writing in TINS way
holding their paper under the desks,
quite "out of sight," as an eye-slghtea
person would say. A..
In another part of the room tle
children were doing examples IN writ

ers instead of slate and pencil, ana
working very quickly and carefully.
The children of the geography class
poor things make maps for them-
selves. The mountains are little
mounds of wax. pieces of string are
laid down on the paper for rivers and
glued in place, beads are sewed on fOr

Old Age has itS Advantages.

"a good old age" is an old age con-
scious of its privileges and duties; the
everlasting time which we call years,
a height for discovery of truth and Tor
large visions of God. The rough eX-
periences of life have not taken away
the telescope of truth. if the soul ever
really loved truth. The rare calm of
that lofty summit is favorable to a
mind which has learned to respect
itself and has dared to be still that it
might listen for God. The passionless
atmosphere, where no dusty winds of
youths contending impulses rage
around, and where the spring at the
mountain top is SD unvisited by blasts
of vain desire that it mirrors the stars
that air, with "passion's uneasy nurse
Iings rocked to Sleep" is surely truer
medium for the delicate sounds and
the fiue tints of the world about and
beyond. Life can now he looked upon
by one for whom the fight is over. IL
lusions of youth, the "gilded baubles"
and the hollow noises, the false hopes
and the wandering rushlights-these
are appreciated ut their true worth.
Truth, which the soul always had an
interest in for what it might buy or
prevent-truth may now be studied
and loved for its own sake, and her
acquaintance may be made as one
makes the acquaintance of an other at
the beginning of long ocean voyage,
as one whose companionship may be
pleasant and whose friendship may be
useful on the other side. These are
only some of the facts of old age
which have made the psalmist Of old
sing:
"It Is too late All, nothing is too late
Till the tired heart shall cease to palpitate.

SUMMER HINTS TO BEE-KEEPERS.
Bees are now at work. Competent
advisers say that it is we'll to supply
them with some rye meal, which an
swers the same purpose as the pollen
of plants, which, as yet is not avalla-
BILE. 1t is not desirable to stir the bees
to too early activity, but to protect the
hives from chilling storms. If the
bees fly too soon, they are apt to be
chilled by an unexpected shower, and
many have been lost in this way, so
that experience has proved that is best
not to disturb them, but provide some
rye meal at the hives, that the bees
may take it on fine days and not be
compelled to fly afar for the supply
they desire, and often to fly in vain.
Water must be supplied in the same
manner, so that they may run no risk
in going far in search of it. The water
should be slightly warmed, and always
given in wooden dishes or troughs on
which the bees can move about easily,
while on tin or glass dishes they can
not, and are thus liable to get drowned.
A safe way to supply bees with water
is to put some in a pail and hang a
coarse cloth over the edge, partly in
the water, so that the bees can get it
from the absorbent cloth in perfect
safety.
Horses have much more often been
made pets than cows have been. So
far as grooming goes the average cow
gets very little Of it except what she
can do herself by rubbing her shoul-
ders and neck against the sides of the
stable in which she is confined. Try
a curry comb and brush on the COW as
we'll as on the horse. Unless the cow
is very thin the curry comb will be
liked even better than the brush. The
dirt in a cows hair is always liable to
get into the milk pail, as it is brushed
out when the mixer rubs against the
animal in getting out of the narrow
stall.
Fritters. or oyster plant
fritters make an agreeable change.
For the parsnips remove the woody
centers, boil at least fifty minutes,
and mash to a puree; to one pint OF
this add two tablespoonful, of butter,
salt, pepper and beaten egg, stirring
over the fire in saucepan for few
minutes; turn into dish to cool, and
then mold into small flat cakes, dip in
egg, roll in crumbs, and fry in plenty
Of hot fat as for doughnuts. The rule
for oyster plant fritters is exactly the
same, but the plant must be dropped
into cold water the moment it is scrap
ed, and it must be put over the fire to
boil with two tablespoonfuls of vine
gar to each quart of water. French
cooks boil these vegetables, cut the
parsnips in slices, and the oyster plant
in inch bits and dip them in batter
before frying instead of mashing as
above. Either way is excellent.
