room i'll the Academy in which to stretch

the work, and, influenced by him, they
refused to- grant the request, whereupon

How Lazy JOHNNY Waters Stock.


That it sometimes pays to be lazy is a
fact which cannot be disproved, notwith-
standing the doctrine which teaches that
industry and perseverance are qualities
essential to success in any walk Of life
When we make this admission, however,
we must. conscientiously qualify it with
the caution that it is Il rather dangerous
experiment and one not to be recon-
mended on general principles.
Yet, instances have occurred where a
strong repugnance for manual labor and
keen desire to take things easy have
melted an ingenious mind to profitable
idle. One familiar case of this sort re
suited in the discovery by a lazy boy of
the principles of the eccentric as applied
to the valves of an upright steam engine
in Watts time, and what follows IS a
recently discovered example of the cley-
err. device of Il lazy boy of pretty much
the same type, whose work. or more
escape work, required deal of alabora-
ton and planning. & H., i.
This youngster, a lad between Is and
rs, years of age, is modest, and IN this
account his name will not be given; lie
will be merely designated as Johnnie
Smith. He lives with his parents, who
are: well-to-do farmers, in the county Of
Chittenden, not far from the village Of
Hinessbury, in the state Of Vermont.
1t has been Johnnie's task for some
years past to feed and water the stock
in bis fathers barn, and otherwise to
minister to their wants. Johnnie is not
what YOU would call a typical farmers
lad. He lacks the usual robustness, and
seems to take little interest in the work
Of the field, which he shirks as often as
the dictates Of prudence allow. In fact
he is something of student, and ssolder
of his books and drawings than Of the
preferred by boys of his age.

An lcebOat.

Probably every boy who has seen an
iceboat in active operation making hawk
like sWeops and GREATNESS r,lshes over
the smooth eXpanse of a frozen lake or
river, has felt burning desire to Dos
sess one for his own use If he is u
practical boy, handy with tools, the build
ing of a craft which will serve the pur-
cult matter: and if several boys club to.
gether, dividing work and expense be-
tween them, it can be made in a short
time at a trifling cost to each of the
builders. The illustration shows an i'm.
proved model. very simple in it's construc-
