The average human being needs instruction, and, if be recognizes its reasonableness, is amenable to it. It is almost as easy for him to go right as to go wrong 11 he takes himself m time, and it is really of no little importance that he should go right. I was brought up in a place and at a time where anti when the temptations to un- wholesome luxury were not overpowering. Milk and rice were leading features of my bill of fare till I was 7 years old, and it was net till after that tilne that I first ale'nleat. One advantage of such a diet for children is that it diminishes the acuteness of the fe0er8 and other ills that are incident to childhood. I leas also " cured" with hom- oeopathic medicine, which many will say is equivalent to going without medicine at all ; at any rate, my sicknesses were neither long nor numerous, and early abandoned No alto. nether. Meanwhile, I lived in the country, was allowed to play out -doors as 1110011 es I liked,0n11 was carefully washed and scrub- bed every day. The results woregeod, and go to show that it is expedient to give a growing child nothing that is in the least difficult to digest, to afford him all the open air possible, and, for the rest, to let him alone a good deal. If you succeed in keeping him out of the way of what would hurt him, ho will need little urging toward what is good for him, And if you can keep him in fair order until he is 12 or 14, he will have acquired a strong bias against mischief the rest of his life. By this I do not mean that there is much to be gained by forcing a boy to conform to a rigid or ascetic regimen, by sheer dint of authority. He will resist at heart, and when opportunity occurs he will rebel in ant. But sound health has a natural aversion to deleterious things ; and few people hanker after what they have never seen or heard of. Let a boy, in the first place, earn to put a pride in good health -in being in as good condition as his constitution admits of -and then let him be shown how to be so. It is not a long nor a hard lesson, and if it were the hardest lesson in the world, it would still be worth acquiring. But the desire - the ambition -is the main thing. Now, we are all frail end imperfect crea- tures at our best ; therefore he is more than foolish who fails to maintain himself at his highest notch, A man who is going to rim a race on wili011 his life or fortune depends, does not steal forth silently at night, and dig ditehe0 and build hedges to defeat him- self with next morning. Yet that is what many of our young fel• lows do. You have little enough chance of succeeding in life, anyway ; but instead of fitting yourselves to make a desperate struggle for it, you upset your stomachs, obfuscate your brains, clog your lunge, de- generate your hearts, and vulgarize your morals at tiro very outset of your career Lacking strength you descend to the refuge of all wean creatures -cunning ; 3)041 cheat your way to your goal, where you might have fought your way to it. There should never be an hour in your 'working day when you are not in fall possession of such facul- ties as belong to you. Morning, noon, or afternoon you should be ready and able to do your best work. Emergencies come when they are not ex- pected, and if your emergency tomes to you when you are dull with beer, or qualmish with tobacco, or unnerved from lank of sleep, you will be worsted in the encounter, and the defeat will not be an honorable one, but entirely dishonorable.

Our lives, especially in cities, are so full of excitements and depressions that in self defense,pthe feebler among us take to tobac- co and drink. To do so is a confession of weakness ; but such weakness ought not to bo felt by a youth in his early twenties. Only after you have been fairly worsted in the battle between your constitution and your environment, isindulgence of that kind excusable, You will find plenty of people, more or loss vioioue, who will urge yon to begin a course of cigars and wine at sixteen or earlier. But every sane person must pity a boy who yields to such urging, and every- body despises hint. You must feel some enthusiasm for decant and wholesome living, so that others, seeing you, may follow your good example. We hear a good deal about the evil influence of a vicious example ; but I have also observed that the example of a hearty, vigorous, fresh, clean young man is wonderfully con- tagious. He makes his eonnpaeio)0 wish to be as healthy, effective and serene as he is. Indeed, it is a few men like this who have, practically, created athletics in this coun- try. Death is the Bear's Gage, Katharine Wolff of Iiitziugen, Bavaria, at midnight, recently, let herself down on a rope into the cago of the polar bear in 111e Frankfort Zoological Garden, and was torn to pieces before the eyes of the steeper. Her ahrieke first attracted the attention of Gelling, a watchman, whose refusal to marry her had caused her desperation. Ho saw her standing, quite nude, in the cage, with the bear's forepaws on her shoulders and its lower jaw resting on her head. From a tree, which extended its branohos over the open top of the tinge, hung the rope on which she had lot herself down. She had already repented of her ant and begged for help to release her from her terrible companion. Ceiling, as line been shown 011 official in. vestigation of his conduct, merely called other night watchmen to the cage and did not lift a hand to aid the girl, although the bear held her without tearing her for some forty minutes. When reminded that rifles for such emergencies were kept near by, he answere d "What do you mean? Kill an animal that cost $500 for such a woman 1" The bear rolled the girl round the cage and twice had her within two feet of the spot where the watchman stood. A subordinate of Gelling could endure tho sight no longer and ran oil' for the police. When he return- ed with a Sergeant the girl had been eaten by the bear. Only her bones were left to prove the truth of the story of the watch- men, Subsequently her clothes, together with abanlc book for $1,000 on deposit, were found at the foot of the tree from whioh elle dropped into the bear's den.

"I was about retiring to bed on the night of my return when a summons without cal. led mo to the door. A stranger asked shel- ter for Ithnsolf and his horse for the night. I invited him in, " Though a stranger, his face seemed not unfamiliar. He was probably one of the men I had seen at 1110 land office, a place at that time much frequented. " Offering him a seat I wont to look after his horse, The poor animal, as well as I could see by starlight, seemed to 1nave been hardly used. His panting sides born witness to merciless riding; and a tremulous shrink- ing at theslightest touoh, being a token of recent frioht. "On re-entering the house, I found tho stranger was not there. His absence excited no surprise ; he would doubtless 0000 return, It was a little singular, however, that he should have left his hatch lying on the table, )) At the end of halloo hour, my guoab not returning, I went again to the stable, think• ung he might havo his found way thither to givo personal attention to the wants of his horse. Before seine- out, from mere force of habit -for we were as yet uninfestod out in the backwoods by either thieves or police- men -I took the promotion of putting the stranger's watch in a drawer in which 1 kept my own valuables. I found the horse as I had left him, and gave hint the food which he was now sufficiently cooled to be allowed to eat; but hie toaster was nowhere to be seen.

An English manufacturer has lately brought forward an improved hot -blast furnace, the method employed being to use the heat derived from the furnace for heating the air blown into it to smelt the contents. Tho mode of carrying out this plan is by letting into the brickwork, on all sides of the furnace, several chambers im- mediately over the thyme pipes, within about three inches of the inner fade of the furnace. 'These chambers inclose a bent tube, through which cold air passes, sup- plied by any blowing apparatus, and ill its course becomes heated ;the hot blast thus produced will find an exit through the thy. ores into the furnace. When air of great heat is required, it is proposed, In place of the brickwork, to face the air chambers with clay or stone work, perforated with holes through which the loot of the furnace passes direct to the chambers, Instead, too, of the heat of the air passing off from the chambers, it may be carried away from the furnace by pipes, and be used for any other purpose. Experiments in great variety have for soma time been going of in the various nav- ies of world with anchors of different kinds, and among those that havo been tested with specially favorable results is an anchor in use aboard several of the new Government cruisers. This anchor, which is made of cast steel, has its crown and flukes rotate on a pin joining thorn to the shank head, the construction being such that it the pin should break, the anchor will st11l hold and perform the required function while the shank cannot draw out and 1110 anchor le lost, as the shank head is enlarged and works against the round shoulders inside the crown.

Parr, the son of the Rev. E. R. Parr, British olulplai11 at Boulogne, has received uuexpeote11 reeogiil.tion from the French authorities. The incident occurred at Boulogne last December, A French boy fell through mho foe en tho river Diane, and young Parr, a had of 15, made amostgallant though fruitless effort to save him, m the oo1ree of which he himself narrolvly oeoapod death. Ho has received notion from the Minister of Marine that a silver medal, a8 reward for his bravery, will be presented to him by the Commissary of Marine, who is the chief maritime authority at Boulogne A Grape Pie. Possibly 80)110 housewives may have more grapes than they need for jelly or jam, and for such fortnnateoaes Mrs. Rorer's way of malting a grape pie is given, says Oar Grange Home% Beginning with the crust, sho says : Put three cups of sifted pastry 11on' in a bowl, add toot ono temp: toilful of salt, a teaspoonful of sugar. Now place 1n the centre one cup- ful ora half -pound of shortening ; this may be hitter or lard, 0)' half and half. I prefer all bettor, as it makes a more wholesome, flaky and tender crust. With a blunt knife, quickly cut rho butter into the flour, moor- ing oath piece as It, is taken from the large pieeo 14111 flour ; add two-thirds of a cup of water, a little hero and there, never pouring it twice in the salve place. The paste must be moist, not wet, or it will be hard and stiff. Turn it out on the board ; work from you ; fold in the sides, then the ends ; turn the paste and roll 11on1 you eg0in. Do this three or folr tinges until the paste looks smooth al1(1 flaky ; do not, 40(101 it with your halide. 11 41110 can be 211)1,10 the day before you wish to use it, so much the better, as all paste, even that made from lard, is vory much better if it stands. Take a sufficient quantity of grapes for the number of pies you wish to matte ; pulp them ; putthe pulps into a porcelain -lined kettle ; bring them to boiling point ; press them through a sieve to remove the seeds ; add the skins to the grapoulp ; cook tete minutes ; sweeten to taste. .1 usually allow a half a pound of anger to each pound of grapes. Till the pies with this mixture ; put over all upper crust and bake in a quick oven for about thirty minutes. An old- fashioned way of making grape pie is to Simply fill the nn(lererustwith whole grapes then add a half cup of sugar and a half cup of molasses. The pie is then covered and baked for thirty-five minutes.
