FADED YOUTH.

The bell boy, sixteen years odd, who
committed suicide in st. Louis, is a
type of the over-wrought city young
ster of the age. Nervous, romantic
and reckless; shrewd and calculating,
yet liable to lose his little head al
any moment, he may be seen every
where with pale face and flaming
necktie. His height and heft are not
impressive, for he is dissipated. He
is thin and haggard, his eye is not
clear, he CANDLES, is extravagant, spec
ulative and full of strange oaths. He
smokes like furnace, and will drink
like fish if he does not already.
He is utterly without reverence, is
precocious, yet ignorant; has an ap-
palling knowledge of evil and nil
country, or of any other, except hazy
smattering of few political happen
lngs. He is perhaps the greatest prob
lem of the age, but we pay more at
tention to the youth of the Philippines
than to him. The st. Louis boy sui
cided to end what he called miss.
spent life" What kind of oversight
do we take of the children when 1t is
possible to end a "misspent life" al
the tender age of sixteen?
Cresceus is of more Importance to
him than George Washington, and he
thinks more of his bull pup than OF
his own father. His mother is a good
old woman, but soft sucker to be
buncoed, in his estimation, and hi
employer, when he has one for
brief period, is an 'old stiff' who /,
very much out of date and always
in the way. What is to be the fu-
ture of country that will fall into
the hands of such withered boys in
few years? The government viii.
have to be run by patent medicines,
for it will have no constitution left

THE SCANDAL MONGER.

OF all the pests with which every
community is infested, the scandal
monger and busy-body is the wors,
Ind at the same time the most com

ows in the wake of this tireless de.
stroyer of home and happiness. 1t is
40 respecter of persons or conditions.
Like the rain and the gentle dew from
Heaven, it falls alike upon the just
and the unjust. Both the guilty and
the innocent are Lne subjects of its
attack, but the latter are the greater
sufferers.
Not long ago in one of the factories
n GAINESVILLE it became necessary to
place the accounts Of one of the de-
)artments in charge of the most COM

ports was inaugurated against the
young woman in question. After be-

public prints, a weekly publication be-

Finally, the reports, as intended,
cached the foreman's wife, and al
.hough she Indignantly rejected them
1t first, they were so systematically
linned into her ears that a home in
which there has been naught but
peace and contentment since 1t was

A Fish with Teeth on All. Tongue.

&c
+ The biggest of fresh water fishes, the
"arapaima" of the Amazon, in South
America, which grows to six feet in
length, has teeth on its tongue, SO that
the latter resembles the file and is used
as such. Some kinds of trout also have
the same popularity. Fishes that swal-
low their prey entire have their teeth
SO supported on flexible bases as to
bend backward, but not forward, in
order that their victims shall not es-
cape after they have been once seized.
In ages gone by there were ferocious
sharks, such as would make a mouth
full of you without blinking, 20 feet in
length.
Plenty of their teeth have been found
which are five inches long, whereas the
biggest of the teeth belonging to sharks
that exist at the present day are I5a
inches long. Speaking of extinct crea-
lures reminds me to say that all of the
early birds-those OF early geological
times. that is-had teeth, with which
they captured the early worms of the
same period. Being descendant from
reptiles, it is natural that they should
possess dental equipment, but when
they ceased to be carnivorous they had
no teeth any longer.

Thre, Kings before victoria.

Victoria ascended the throne at an IN
suspicious moment. Kingship had fall
en- into miserable disrepute. The
last three monarchs who had sat upon
our throne had done little to make
their office easy or glorious. George III
had obscured whatever virtues were
his by an obstinacy of opinion which
lost us a vast colony and which might
well have enslaved US to foreign
power.
George Nv had died unwept and un-
pitied. AS he had made his distin-
guished office a scandal, as he had
made his throne ridiculous by deplor-
able levity Of taste and conduct, so he
had forfeited the affection of his peo-
pie and alienated their sympathy long
before death overlook him. There
never was an individual" proclaimed
The Times but a few weeks after his
death. .'less regretted by his fellow
creatures than this deceased king.
What eye has wept for him? What
heart has heaved one throb Of unnec-
essary sorrow?" And The Times ex-
pressed in those bitter words nothing
less than the popular Judgment.
Nor can 1t be said that William w
graced the throne of Britain Loved
for his homely virtues, he raised a
smile of kindly contempt by his lack
of dignity and his frank misunder-
standing of kingly ceremonial On the
day Of his accession he escaped from
his council and was found throwing
shillings to a noisy crowd in a back
street, and never did he acquire the
rudiments of tact which should be the
first wisdom Of kings.-Blackwoo

The Song of the Grouse.

Certain birds when the period OF
eourtship comes round repair to partic-
ular trysting places and announce their
presence there by well known calls or
signals.
The ruffed grouse, as every one
knows, seeks an old log or other con
venient perch and drums with his
wings, hint to any lady grouse with
in hearing that .'Barkis is willin.''
The performance of the grouse is one
frequently heard, but comparatively
seldom seen, and for many years there
were numerous conflicting theories
concerning the means by which the
drumming was produced. Some said
that the sound was vocal, and others
declared that the grouse struck the log
with its wings. Even today the pre-
else cause of the sound is not known,
for, although the bird has been closely
watched, its wing movements are so
rapid that 1t is next to impossible to
tell exactly what takes place. This
much, however, is known: During the
performance the grouse stands upon
the leg or other perch and strikes the
air in front of his body somewhat after
the manner of an elated barnyard cock.
The first few strokes are measured, but
they become faster and faster until the
individual thumps are lost, as in the
rolling of drum. Whether the sound
is due entirely to beating of the air or
whether it is increased by the striking
together Of the wing tips is question
yet to be settled.-Hartford Times.

"One is always treated with ingrati-

imagination is all that is wanted. You
put yoHrself in their place, and think
how you would feel if you were in

tea and somebody gave you it. They

these, killed with a stick. measured q
