Management Of Boys.

consistency is jewel" but there
is lack Of consistency in much Of the
advice handed out in certain quarters
to boys and to the parents of boys.
Lads are told to look at the hard lines
Of Lincoln, Webster, Greeley and other
worthless Of the past who got to be
something from next to nothing. Fa-
theirs are told to give their boys amuse-
ment and money to pay for It and are
also told to let the boys earn their own
money and thereby get sense Of its
value. Educators are told to spare the
rod and trust to the boys sense Of
honor to behave himself Parents are
told to send their boys away from
home as soon as possible and let stran-
gers put them through their PAGES.
All the rules cannot be applied to all
cases, and it is just as we'll or the fu-
ture would be in the hands Of machine
made men.
Doubtless many boy feels like say
ing, put me back In pioneer days and
I'll do as the boys did then" It Is in
consistent to ask boy to be anything
but what he is. He'll find ideals to
follow in so far as his particular en-
vironment allows him to. Self reliance
will always stand him in good stead,
and the sooner he is taught to rely
upon himself instead of his fathers
importance the better. Technical skill
and education will not benefit their
possessor unless he can apply them I'M
aided. AS rule boy who is trusted
will strive to be worthy Of trust. Any
thing can be made out Of such q boy
by giving him square deal.

professor. And the professors fire.
quent reference to the poor rewards
and all the outward hardships Of their
work indicates some little envy Of the

Yet there is no lot on earth that offers
greater rewards and greater opportuni-
ties. And when an Individual has
grievances the blame Is often placed
primarily on the president since the
form Of organization encourages the
professors to place the responsibility
anywhere but on themselves. 1t would
be more fitting IL their constitution
gave no excuse, but constantly invited
each to perceive that with himself
1t rested whether he would succeed or
fail.-George NJ. Stratton in Atlantic.

An Actors Power.

An example of how an audience may
be deceived by gestures, delivery, IA

given by an English actor named Du-
gazon, then the idol Of the hour in Lon
don. He was standing at the wings be-
tween the acts Of tragedy. All at
once he threw OthellO's scarlet mantle
over his shoulders, had the curtain
rung up and stalked to the footlights.
Fixing his haggard eyes upon them, he
said in a sepulchral voice, "One lamp.
two lamps, three lamps" and SO on up
to ten, moving majestically and i'm
pressing on each exclamation an as
cending vigor so well accentuated and
so serious that he held the audience

Most Costly Thing In the World.

Most Costly Thing In the World.
Some idea Of the difficulties in the
way Of extracting radium from the
pitchblende waste may be appreciated
when we learn that pitchblende, the
mineral that is richest in radium, con-
tains but one-millionth part Of 1 per
cent of radium, less than the proper
ton of gold in ocean water. We would
think it pretty thankless task to
mine gold, or extract 1t, from sea wa
ter. But the work would be far easier.
and we would get more gold from a
cubic yard of sea water than we would
radium from ton Of pitchblende. Per
haps, then, 1t will not be hard to appre-
ciate how little radium there is in the
worthless than twenty grains, GER
tainly not half a teaspoonful of pure
radium bromide. A grain of gold can
be had for five cents or less. Dia-
monds are worth by weight much
more, perhaps $40 grain. but the cost
Of radium is truly fabulous-$7,2O 200 for
a single grain.-Harper's Weekly.

A Judges View Of Women's Oath

"Do l believe woman under oath!
commented judge whose name has
figured prominently in many big cases.
"Well," and there was twinkle in the
judicial eye, III tell you what | know
about women In that connection and
perhaps you can figure it out for your
self. If a woman likes a lawyer or the
Judge or the defendant at the bar or
any one who happens to be related to
him, she will swear to anything that
she thinks will help him win his case.
Not purposely, certainly, but that's the
peculiar kink in wOmans mind.
Whatever she wants to believe she
does believe and honestly believes 1t to
be true, and the same is good Of the
opposite proposition. If she dislikes a
man, nothing she can say will be too
bad for him. If she likes him, she
can't say anything good enough. Now,
do you still want an answer to that
question ?"-San Francisco Call.

Military Prisoners.

Although living in a part of New
York city, the military prisoners on
Governors island have many customs
which make 1t seem as though they
were in another land. Time is not
counted by them in mere days, weeks
and months, but in "brooms." Many of
the prisoners are short term men, and
they are detailed to police the
grounds OF course this means much
sweeping, and broom lasts about a
month. Thus two "brooms" in army
lingo means two months. No prisoner
is permitted to salute an officer in the
manner prescribed for soldiers who be-
have themselves. Instead they fold
their arms and look straight to the
front whenever they pass those en-
titled to salute. a soldier who is a
prisoner is never referred to by his
name. His official number, which Is
stenciled upon his clothing. Is used in
stead.-New York Tribune.

The Red Death.

It will I've remembered that Edgar
Allan Poe in his "Masque of the Red
Death" described a plague, the main
symptom of which was bleeding
from the pores of the body.
In Central America the red death Is
personiied in the blood snake, or, as
the Spaniards call it, vivora sangre.
This snake is of red tinged black on
the back, while underneath 1t is Of a
bright vermilion. Its deadly work is
easily recognizable in the condition Of
the victim. An Indian cattleman, find
ing COW bleeding at the nose, eyes
and ears and perspiring blood at every
pore, does not hesitate to blame it on
vivera sangre. Unfortunately the eff
feet upon the human being is the same,
and our Indian friend quite realizes it
when he lights Il cheroot, gathers his
blanket around him and stoically sits
down to await the meeting with his
forefathers.-New York Times.
