During all the lorg and painful period of greenback- ism, of fatism and free silverism there were many occasions when the
 people would have courted disaster, if they had rested on their own un- aided judgment without period ot dclibeTatiOn and argument.

CORRECT FACIAL PROPORTIONS.

As regards the scale of correct facial
 proportions. writes F. $. Valentine i'll
 the May Strand, it is easy to establish
 one capable of universal application.
 It has been shown that no difficulty
 arises amongst the cultured and even
 the common people of the various mod
 ern races. Yet it was long supposed that the Eskimos. the Kalmucks and the HOttentOts actually regarded their facial type as a most satisfactory standard Of human beauty Volume ; have been written on this assumption, which is now found to be completely erroneous. A beautiful white woman actually presented before an intelligent HOttentOt chief was unhesitatingly de clared to be the most perfect huma ! creature ne had ever seen. An Eski- mo, being shown by pr. Hubbard a cast of Palas Athene, was struck silent with awe. He said afterwards tha'

THE BOY SCOUT CAMP.

Of all the phases of scout life, there is none that appeals to the boy like camping. Once he has tasted the joys of living in the woods and shar- ed in the healthy, happy companion sip of camp life, no other form of amusement will ever attract. writes F. A. Moffat in Lesle's. The true scout appreciates the eXhilaration of the hike the fascination of the trail, the delights of sleeping out of doors. The smell of the fir and the pine in his nOstrils, he chershes the memory of feathered friends made in the woods, nda with the return of spring the chirp of the cricket and the ap- pearance of the first robin remind him of happy days ahead.

The tenderfoot CO., vets every opportunity to learn to dc these things for himself, so that ht may some day rank as a second class scout.
