to jump into a football game at the risk
of life and limb, and allow another fell

WORTH WHILE.

'Tis easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows along like a song,
But the man worth while is the man
who will smile
When everything goes dead wrong;
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years.
And the smile that is worth the praises
of earth
Is the smile that shines through tears.
1t is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing temptS you to stray;
When without or within no voice Of sin
Is Turing your soul away;
But it's only a negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire,
And the life that is worth the hono1
OF earth.
Is the one that resists desire.
BY the cynic, the sad. the fallen.
Who had no strength for the strife
The worlds highway is numbered today,
They make up the item of life.
But the virtue that conquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides in a smile
1t is these that are worth the homage
of earth
For we find them but once in a while

nEAFNEss CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result.
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an in1amed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

THE CoNQUEsTs OF SILENCE.


Washington never made speech. In
the zenith of his fame he once attempted
it. failed, and gave it up confused and
abashed. In framing the constitution of
the United States the labor was almost
wholly performed in committee of the
whole, of which George Washington was
day after day chairman, and he made
but two speeches during the convention
of very few words each, something
like one of Grants speeches. The con-
vention, however, acknowledged the mas
ter spirit, and historians affirm that had
it not been for his personal popularity
and the thirty words of his first speech.

Measuring Starlight.

An English astronomer named Min

accurately measures the quantity Of
light given out by star. Stars are
designated as being of the first down
to the twentieth magnitude, according
to the intensity of the light given out
The magnitude of a star has Nitherto
been judged by the eye. and anything
like exactitude could not be obtained.
BY the new invention the rough desig
nation of magnitude is represented by
numbers which give the exact ratio
of one star to another in light giving
powers. The star Arcturus, for exam
pie, is estimated by the new process to
give 1874 times the light of Regulus.
This instrument will be a great use
not only to astronomy. but in meteo-
rology also. The amount of light which

GooD TEMPER IN THE HOME.

No one thing contributes SO much TO
the family comfort and prosperity, as
well as it's happiness, as cheerful, good
temper in its heads. Reams have been
written on the Importance of good tenn
per and a happy face i'll the mother but
it is just as necessary that the father
cultivate these virtues as that the moth

home to the consideration OF the men
than to that of women, because women,
as a rule are more reflective and reflect
oftener the mental and spiritual atti-
tudes of their husbands. You may be
surprised, my dears, that / say 'culti-

These things come by culture oftener
than by inheritance. Work out your
as any that is to be found in the pages
of Holy Writ; and if that means any
thing, it means that we are to strive for
those eXcellencies that go to the making
of a perfect character.
Among those none will have a greater
weight in the government of a family
than that happy cheerfulneSs that is like
the CLEAN of sunshine on d rainy day
bound to come about even the most for
tunate families. To be cheerful is to
be brave and helpful under the most
trying circumstances. A Woman's work
Keeps her, 70 a certain degree, confined
among those things that have tendency
to produce discomfort and deSpondency
The wearing monotony of housework
cannot be overestimated and yet this
tendency can be overcome by a deter

side And just here comes in the value
of reading.
When things crowd upon you, and the
world looks dark, nothing will give such
relief as the little flight away from all
the worries that one may take who has a
mental kingdom.
1t should be easier for man to get
into brighter atmosphere, because he
has all enchantment of blossom and bird

He has the breeze to chase away dull

Loving the Lord.

at is evident that we love all beings
who possess those principles or quail
ties of mind and heart which are cCsl-
genial to us. Similarity of affection
where it is not selfish is always
ground of conjunction between those
who possess it. In the various relations
of life we frequently meet with those
who love the same things or the same
principles that we do, and we are i'm
mediately drawn towards them. though
we have never seen them before. There
are also many whom we have never
seen, but of whom we have heard,
whose character we know from their
writings, or from the records of history,
for whom we feel a strong degree of
affection. In the same way we can love
the Lord. Rev. Chauncy Giles, in The

Extension of the Decimal system.

A modification of the decimal system,

proposed by NJ. de Sarranton in. the
Revue Scientif1ques The hour must
be retained as the unit of time, because
it is universally accepted end it is
hopeless to try to change it. Every
hour, however, is divided into 100 min
utes, and each minute is divided into
100 seconds. The new minute would be
Sc seconds long, three-ffths of the old
minutes, and the new seconds a little
over one-third as long as the present
seconds. Time would then be express
ed in decimals. thus. S.394S would read

angular measurements he proposes to

An Experts Opinion.
Billy Edwards, the famous pugilist, now
retired from the ring, expressed his
views on the question TO writer rot
long. ago:
The reason for the unpopn!llarity Of
accounted for, first, by the fact that the
lower element almost entirely monopolize
exhibitions at such places as the best
athletic clubs, when men OF culture and
refinement attend the mills but such
institutions al~ comparatively few. This
is the great drawback to the populariz-
ing of the sport among the better clas-
SeS.''
why is it. then" was asked. that
American boys do SO little boXing?"
For the simple reason that the average
boy lacks nerve to stand up before an
opponent and allow his face TO become a
target for the others padded fist. This.
to the best of my knowledge, is the only
little expense and does not pre-
sent the same dangers as football and
other popular pastimes.''
Possibilities of the Sport.
rs is possible for every boy to become
a good boXer?'
Certainly. OF course some lads are
better adapted to self defense than others.
All the great fighters have been endowed
with d natural talent for it. During their
boyhood they had a propensity for fight
ing and practiced continually with and
without gloves, until the ability to dodge
and return a quick blow at a critical
moment became second nature 10 them.
The tall boy has great advantage over
short boy in the length of reach No
one point gives SO much advantage, how
ever, as quickness. Putting all other
things equal, reach, hard hitting, game
ness, cleyerness, and wind, the one that
possesses the most activity and quickness
is going to win. For fat boys boxing is
d capital flesh reducer."
Should boys with weak heart box?
We'll, they may, if they go it easy.
Taken by stages, it will probably mend
a fellows heart; practiced violently. it
will surely ruin it.
Boxing, in my opinion, does away
with the knife or pistol Were it nur-
tured more. the ugly stabbing and shoot
ing trays we read of daily, would soon

he should, of course, be sparring fire.
quently with boys of all calibre, so that
he learns to tell by his opponents eye
when and where he is going to strike.
The lad who has even an incomplete
knowledge of boxing tactics possesses
an incalculable advantage over one who
knows nothing whatever of the science.
In the first place he has self confidence,
and this mark you, does not make
bully but is an accomplishment of the
true born gentleman. 1t only gives him
tried. A man who makes his living by
fighting often becomes nasty, desiring
to fight at all times and impose on other
people. But he is an exception. The
great majority of fighters whom l have

men who had the greatest respect for
woman, would always aVenge an insult,
and were never looking for trouble.
Beneficial Results.
"There is no reason why boxing should
be attended with different results from

conducive to good health, light spirits,
and splendid muscular development.
Take the young fellows at the high class

and quick eye. They are always in
