UNFORTUNATE YOUNCSTER.
Irksome Restrictions That Surround Young Heir to Many
 MiIIions.

There is four-year-old boy in New York, heir to s10,O00,000, who is going to miss whole lot of fun. His guardians have set out to bring him up ideally To this end everything that money can do will be done. He is to have dozen skilled instructors. A small army of nurses, maids, governesses and grooms have been engaged to attend upon his wants. A $10,000 Jersey COW has been purchased to give milk for him alone. The process of sterilization is to be ap- piled not only to the milk. but to almost everything that comes in contact with the youngster, says Robert Webster Jones in the Housekeeper. The latest devices of science are to be employed for his protection against germs. His play mates are strictly limited in number and. of course, must all be little aristocrats.
 l have no wish to disparage the ad- vantages of wealth nor the importance of careful and scientific training for the young, but it does look as if Nature, wis est of physicians. were not going to get chance to show what she could do for this youthful millionaire. Just think of the boyish joys that the poet Riley sings about, which he will miss. The jolly ex- cursions to the "old swimmin' hole" the blissful manufacture of mud pies. the ecstasy of gaining free admission to the circus by carrying water for the eln- phant! What will he know. with his expensive rod and reel and careful at tendants, of the delights of "goin' fish in'?'
 There is great danger that the boy who is ideally" brought up will becom9 narrow minded. snobbsh. selfish man The spirit of our public schools is essen- italy American and democratic. The public school is the place for every American boy. rich or poor. He will learn lessons there. and valuable ones. that are not in the books To have s1O.- 900 900 is pretty heavy handicap for a boy starting out in life. But it can be overcome if the boy is only given a chance.

HOW ELK5 SHED
 AND PENEW ANTLERS

Elk shed their antlers about the frs of February, though much depends upon the locality and upon the age ana health of the animal. It often happens that one antler is carried several days after the other has been dropped. The new antlers push off the old ones, and Vhen they appear they resemble scars on the animals forehead, but SOON take the form of two black velvet but tons, about the size of silver dollars.
 As they continue to grow they gain in length only. and by the first of July tEey have attained their full size. If you would examine them now you would find them soft. rather flexible, nourished by blood and incased Tn d hick, tough skin covered with velvety fur. The antlers are now ''in the vel vet" as the hunters term it. in most critical period for the owner, who seems to realize it. for he is careful to avoid contact with anything liable to injure them. Should an accident hap pen and the skin get broken or the antlcr distigured, it might result in the elk's bleeding to death. or in his carry ing Il deformed antler until the follow irS February. Through a process of nature the blood vessels that have fed the &ntiers are shut off about the mid dle Of July, and then they begin to harden.
 4 few weeks later the elk may be seen rubbing them against trees or thruShing them about in the brush while endeavCring to rid them of the velvet, and in q few days it hangs in Slr"GS and soon disappears entirely. The elk is now lord of the forest. and is ready to combat with his rivals or ehcniicS- St Nichols.
