A Few Rules for Raising a Boy.

Mothers don't raise your boys in band
box.
When the lid comes off and they have
to root for living they will find the ground
hard, and the wind will cut into their ten
der hides like prickly pears into the nose
of a new born calf
Take the lid off early and permit the
sunshine and breezes to tan their complex
ion and harden their muscles; then when
they are forced to bump up against the
stern realities of life they know how to
take hold of the plow handles and make
showing.
Taking the lid off does not mean that
you should send them out into the streets
to be run over by the ice wagon or to in
sist upon their falling into the sewer. 1t
doesnt mean that your son should be dec
GRATED with cigarette and taught how to
swear like his father does. That will all
come soon enough.
But what the boy needs is air and room
to expand. He doesn't want to be made
mammals 5 boy to such an extent that
he is kept inside as if he were a geranium
or night blooming cereus.
\ little dash of Christian Science to the
extent of allowing the boy to believe he is
strong and healthy will 90 long way to-
ward making him do so, if you give him
the opportunity to drink in the pure tonic
that is dished up in the open air. No
mother enjoys seeing her son puny little
fellow, with cheeks like a sand lily and
voice like peedee Let the youngster
get out in the yard and tear up few
rods of orchard grass and kick holes into
the azure zone Let him get rid of few
of those warhoops that lie hidden in the
throat of every boy.
If he gets his white waist dirty do not
lick the life out of him and send him to
bed
1t is your fault You should know bet
ter than to put white waist on him.
Brown dueking is what he wants
The lad who grows up like hothouse
plant has no show with the one who sleeps
up in the garnet and eats cornbread and
milk.
Give the boy chance.

Praises Cement Paint.

4 writer in the Chambersburg Pa. J
Valley Spirit says Some years ago |
used the cement paint referred to in Valley
Spiri, a few DAYS since 1t is good thing
for use on rough buildings or on smooth
ones. too for that matter. used it on
pale fence, the palings being hemlock in
the rough took gallon crock and filled
three. iourths full Of sweet SKINNED milk,
stirring in cement As | used it, keeping the
mixture the consistency of cream and put
ting on with a whitewash brush. The
fence before the mixture dried looked like
the stuff had been taken from mud hole,
bat after drying looked a nice stone color,
contrasting fuely with the green grass Of
the ward The tops Of the palings we're
made 4 different color, with a pigment
added to the paint, Its adhereney to the
wood j. wonderful, even the hinges on the
gates were firmly covered 50 that you could
hardly remove the paint with il knife. As
everyone knows hemlock in the rough i
fun uf splinters but after the paint dried
the splinters were all gone being pulled
down solid by the drying Of the mixture,
,he palings were without the splinters and
seemed as it sanded The reason Is that
the caseine in the milk combines with the
lime in the cement and in drying contracts
covered posts and rails at the same time
Il Is surely a good wood protector aud lasted
for years Caseine Is found IN both the
vegetable and animal kingdoms, in the
vegetable kingdom in the curd of milk, etc
Ms experience leads me to say that it can
uo, be- exeell-d for outdoor painting, espe-
cially on rough boards, and believe it
would be good thing on new shingle

Unearths Ancient City.

Udnunki, the ancient Adab, perhaps
the oldest city in the world, has been dis
covered by the University of Chicago's
excavating expedition in Babylonia.
This city has for many years been the
object of search by Orientalists. 1t is
mentioned in the code of Hammurabi, an
early King of Babylonia, which dOcume mt
was recently translated by Professor Robert
f. Harper. director of the expedition. He
has Just received the news in cablegram
from Professor +. j. Banks, field director
of the expedition.
Mr.. Banks informed Professor Harper
that he found bricks bearing the syllables
I'd Nun Ki at the lowest level of the
ruins He is certain that these identity
the city of Adab. He excavated the ruins
at Bismya and found the remains of four
temples, built one above the other, which
he named according to the Kings who built
them. The dates became earlier, until
finally the bricks identifying Udmunki
were found.

Health Rules.

\ clean and cheerful house makes a
happy home.
Rise early, retire early and fill your day
with work
Frugality and sobriety form the best
elixir of longevity.
Cleanliness prevents rust; the best cared
for machines last the longest.
Water and bread maintain life; pure air
and sunshine are indispensable to health.
Enough sleep repairs waste and strength
ems; 100 much sleep softens and enfeebles.
Cheerfulness makes love of life, and love
of life is half of health On the contrary,
sadness and diseouragement hastens old
age.
The mind is refreshed and invigorated
by distractions and amusement, but abuse
of them leads to dissipation and dissipation
to vice.
To be sensibly dressed is to give free
dom to one 5 movements and enough
warmth to be protected from sudden
changes Of temperature.

The most valuable aloes come from the
island of Sokotra, which lies just off the
east African coast from Cape Guardafui.
The drug itself is the bitter resinous juice
of the leaves of the aloe plant that has
been hardened in the sun. These leaves
are of a ibrous, feshy nature, and, in ad-
dition to the juice, the natives make this
fiber into rope, many insisting that it makes
better rope than hemp.

The mountains of iron which exist in almost
unlimited quantities, it is believed, will cause
Mexico TO become great in her manufactures
ofiron and steel products. One year ago the
first steel rails ever produced south of the Rio
Grande were rolled at the steel plant in Monte
rev. Structural iron of all kinds is being pro-
duced in large quantities, and it is understood
that in short time bridgebuilding depart
ment will be added to the steel works.

A great change in sentiment has
taken place all over the nation re-
gastling the Worlds Fair, and now
the trains are crowded with people
going 10 see the big show. They
arc finding out ~ the Olobe. DEM
ocrat says, that the financial strain
Of the Fair IL not on visitors, but
on the vast army who have gone
into business ventures connected
with the Exposition. A. the Fair
has been running 100 days. visIon-
ary ideas have bccn cleared away.
At,po time has the capacity Of the
city TO care for strangers been
much moro than half tested. Tens
Of thousands Of spare rooms have
never yet been Occupied, though
the total record OF attendance has
reached 0,00O,OO0. Competition
has brought down the price Of
lodging and meals until their cost
Is lower here, on the average, than
in other large cities. The reason
for these conditions Is plain. Inn
mensc preparations were made for
a great tide Of visitors. Though
there may be more than 100000 q
day, the arrangements sre suiii-
cicnt for Ave times that number.
Consequently, the problem rests
upon the visitor. The variest bird

The Old Settlers Picnic.
West Iktin,


The Old Settlers Picnic, that
great annual event In the doings
Of Montgomery county. took place
mt their grounds near New Florence
last Saturday. Historians place
somc former attcndanccs a. high as
fifteen snd eighteen thousand
people present, but this year safe
calculators make It between six
and eight thousand. The grounds
arc nearly u mile from the depot.
In nice farm grove, but because
Of the extreme dry spcll and
much travel the roads were very
dusty. The name oi the associa-
ton in justice should be- changed
To that OF the young folks picnic,
as nearly two thirds Of the number
were young people. and large
majority of them young ladies'.
Everybody seemed to he In good
spirits and glad to meet each other.
The candidates were doubtless all
ON hand. but voters were scafcc.
Even most Of the expected spcak-
crs failed to put IN an appearance,
and Rev. Mcloanc and the demo-
cratic nominee for attorney gem
eral. y. -. Majors, did all the
speaking In two short addresses,
to small audiences. The Rhine
land band, the best In the county,
was present and did their part
we'll. There was plenty to eat
and to drink ON the grounds, but
there was lack oi entertain
ment, and to relieve which "a foot
race or creased pole contest
would have been appreciated. A
scarcity OF neighborinI town busi-
ness men was also noticeable.
An onicinl.mceting OF the associ-
alton wos held about p. m, aud
II. T.. Scanlan was elected prcsi-
dent, a. II. kallmeycr secretary.
