BOYS AND WORK.

1t is the verdict of many close OBJ
servers that our boys do not work hard
enough, writes William T. Miller in the
June Atlantic This does not mean
necessarily that they are lazy, but
rather that they have not acquired
what may be called the habit of work.
In this respect the city boy is at a
disadvantage, for there is nothing to
equal the farm chores as a means of
developing the habits of hard work.
OF course there are city boys who do
chores and are encouraged by their
parents to form habits of industry; but
for the most part, especially in the So
called well-to-do classes. the boys
chief aim in life is the pursuit of pleas
ure, with useful work and study toler-
ated by him as unimportant side issues.
It is a great pity that 50 many things
which used to be looked upon as the
proper work of the boy are now
thought to be beneath his dignity, and
are performed by servants or left IN
done. Again, the development of fiat
life, the janitor system, and kindred
metropolitan improvements" have
all helped in the emancipation of the
boy from useful labor. The result is
that most of our boys lack that habit
of industry which makes it easy to
work, whether it be at manual labor
or in the culture of the mind

Four kinds of excitement every man
wisely avoids, advises the Marquette
Tribune: First, throwing rock at
box of dynamite. Second, striking
matches in room filled with gas.
Third, injecting church interests into
public school affairs. Fourth, mixing
lodge affairs with city politics.
A new telephone invention makes it
possible to send ten conversations over
the same wire, each unknown to the
other, notes the Minneapolis Messen-
ger, and it adds: Yet when this is in
troduced in out-country systems, you
can bet that the women on party lines
will view the innovation with regret.

aerHE PRICE OF THE PRAIRIE

THE PRICE OF THE PRAIRIE"
have knelt when the moon was rising,
and gaZed on the plains in awe,
At the source of the winding Smoky, at
the mouth Of the noble Kaw;
Yet saw not the stately mansions, nor
the corn by the soft wind tossed,
But dreamed of the price-of the prairie
what the swinging plains had cost
The veil of the years was lifted, the cur
tain was thrust aside,
And saw, at the new lights dawning,
the why of the Kansan's pride;
saw how the lives had blended-how the
love for the state newborn
Had sprung from the common hardship
Torture of flesh and spirit, Hving-yet
dying, thrice.
With never a place of refuge-such was
the prairfe's price.
Death from the willy red-skin, death from
the torrents crossed,
Death from the whining bulletins have
the prairieS cost.
And I thought of the early Kansans, who
forfeited Joy and life
That the sons of their sons and comrades
might gain through their valiant
strife.
My eyes to the truth were opened, and
muse on it sadly yet,
AS reckon The Price of the Prairie, and
think of the unpaid debt

Originality of the British.

The British have always been a
good all-round people-turning their
hand to anything and everything, and
yet rarely succeeding in lines which
they have not originated themselves
On the other hand, the Germans and
the japanese are great copyists and
exploiters of British ideas. Once
John Bull has taken up anything with
his whole heart-like Bibles, or cricket
or beer-he is very thorough, and his
thoroughness insures him supremacy
for a long time. He was great at
athletic sports, and so long as he gave
his whole mind to games he was I'M
rivaIed. He was the best walker, run
ner, jumper, crfcketer, oarsman, foot
baller, golfer, horse-rider, billiard
player, pugilist, and wrestler in the
world; and although the blue ribbon
has been wrested from him in many
of these things, the success Of his
rivals has been chiefly individual, and
the vast aim of national excellence has
probably not been impaired.-The
Strand.

SLIPPERY STREETS.

So smooth has become the surface
on some of the more recently laid
brick pavements on several of the
Topeka streets, that most of the
horses travelling on them slide around
as though they were stepping on
glass or ice. This is particularly true
of the pavement on West Sixth and
Seventh avenues from Topeka avenue
out. And it is no unusual occurrence
at any hour of the day or evening to
see horses slip and fall on these pave
ments, especially on the portions of
them where there is ever so slight a
grade.
About the only horses that can keep
their feet on these grades are those of
the heavy draft variety, shod with
shoes that have sharp and substantial
calks on them. But the light driving
and delivery wagon horses, shod with
ordinary plate shoes, have no show at
all, and they go skating around the
pavements in fashion dangerous to
themselves and to their drivers. An
estimate of the number of horses that
have fallen flat on the single block on
West Seventh avenue between Tyler
and Polk streets, where the grade is
rather sharp, would strike most per-
sons as an exaggeration. But there
are several of them a day, and among
other things many wagon shafts have
been broken in these falls.
That a serious accident or a rum
| away with serious results has not hap
pened before this because of the slip
| ping and falling of the horses on
West Sixth and Seventh avenues is re-
| markable, and especially in cases
where women have been driving alone
