CHORES EoR The BOY.

The great loss of city boys is the
loss of duties. Their sphere has been
curtailed tremendously by the draw
ing of the city limit lines. When the
boy lived on the farm or in the small
town, he found plenty of things to do,
which were sport in the doing and
only incidentally work, says the st.
Paul Dispatch. He went abroad on
his duties, performing his chores, and
on the way he found rich treasure
which he brought back with him, and
stored up for a lifetime's use. Did
he go after the evening cattle, he left
the soft earth move up between his
happy toes and experienced a sensa-
ton of the composition, yes, and the
poetry of the soil which the city boy
can never know, however much ne
bares feet to the asphalt. Every turn
he made in his chores, in wood or
field in barnyard or stable, he found
something to make it pleasure-W
it only the exercise of muscles. The
country boy had his limitations, nc
doubt The city boy has his advan~
tages, if he only knew how to take
them. He has vastly more material
in hand out of which to stimulate his
imagination, to quicken his intelli-
gence-if only he could retain, or his
parents retain for him, some of the
duties of old, some Of the chores
which would give ballast to his life.
This may be the day Of the division
of labor" and the hired man of the
furnace and the lawn may perhaps do
his work more steadily and more ex-
plicitly than the boy Of the house. But
the boy should be considered in this
division, and parents should nos make
their lives SO easy that they rob him
of doing his immemorial chores.

The funeral arrangements will in

DIR. Daniel Kimball Pearsons, who
came to Chicago in 1860, distributed
his fortune of $6,000,O00, including
even his home, to forty-seven colleges

The distribution Of his gifts was
crowned in August last year with the

Bishop Anderson of Chicago, sup
ported by a goodly array of pastors
in other cities, has declared that the
church should not celebrate marriage
unless the intending bride and groom
bring certificates of health and san
ity. Boston lady, the Rev. Mabel
r. Witham, now purposes to subject
the candidates to three other tests
as well. She will require the certifi-
cate of a financier that the man is
able to support a wife; one from a
housekeeper that the woman is able
to take charge of a household. and
finally she would have evidence that
the pair are supplied with love i'm
mortal and divine which will render
things glorious in their lives" says
the New York World These are hard
rules. No man ever lived that was
perfectly healthy and sane in the
opinion of a physician. No young man
was ever deemed quite competent to
attend to business by an old finan-
cier. No young woman was ever ad-
Judged good housekeeper by coun-
Gil of grandmothers. And who shall

and divine?
