Some boys think it manly to ohew toba000, smoke cigarettes, drink a glass of beer or whiskey, congregate on street corners, use profane and obscene language, desecrate the Sab• bath, attend theatres. Suoh boys will find to their sorrow that in a few years such habits will steal all the manliness out of them, and they will be degraded wrecks, shunned by the good and pure. Some boys spend all their time in reading dime novels and other de. moralizing literature, that is broad- cast over the land. Those are the sort of boys who fill our workhouses and prisons. Ito»• To 'Help the Prayer Sleet iu¢. Come. Come early. Bring some body else. Take a front seat. Sing. Supposing you don't know ono note from another, you will feel better from having tried, and it will encourage the others. Say something, if it is only two words. Twenty five short testi- monials are better than a whole posy bed of glittering "nothings" or a beautiful sunset sky rhetic." hien who come don't want gush but they want life. Don't keep your mouth shut for fear of making mistakes. Why, bless your heart, a hundred years from now the fact that you used frighttul grammar won't bother you a bit, especially if some soul was saved because you did say some- thing. Don't start a discussion, Don't watt till the last one. Some • body will say just what you wanted to. It always happened so. Don't think about that engage- ment to morrow. Too much world in your heart will act like water on a fire. If the meetings drag, don't you drag ; make a snap somehow. Look just as pleasant as you can. It's contagious. Remember that it is God's service and not the hu• man being leading. Remember that the leader needs prayers, sympathy and support. Remember that long prayers are too good for a good meeting. Finally, take home the part that hit you the hardest, and think over it. Don't pass it over your should- er to the ono back of you. Make the stranger welcome. SOME BOYS. Some boys are never iu time ; late to meals, schools, church, often miss 0 train, keep their friends welting after making appointments fir oer- lain hours. Business men do not want that kind of a boy in their etoree or offices, Snore boys are slangy, interlard their conversation with all the slang phrases afloat. Refined people do not admire that style of youth. Some boys are dierespectfnl, call their parents old man and old woman, nickname their teachers Jr employ ere, contradict their elders. Such boys are not usually popular. Some boys are lazy ; let their mothers bring up the coal and kind- ling, carry the basket or boodle, lot their sisters sweep the snow off the sidewalk, while they are coasting, skating or sitting by the fire saying "It is so awful cold." Such lade forget it is just as cold for someone .else to do the outdoor work as it would be for them. Some boys are selfish, rude, thoughtless ; never willing to give up their seat iu a crowded street oar ; always want the seat by the window in the street oar, even if somebody else has never travelled that road before and would like to view the country; always forget to help an aged or infirm person across the gutters, or put a 'letter in the box when a little child is trying to reaoh t' tooshort • up on tip toes and is still , slam doors, or leave them wide open, yell like an Indian, whistle or stamp their feet in the house when mother has such a violent headache, caused by being up all the previous night with baby, who had the croup or colic, and who has just fallen asleep,, and screams again as the noisy boy rushee into the room ; never thinks to wipe the mud off his shoes, hang up his coat and hat, or put his school books in their proper plane. Such boys should try to mend their ways. Some boys are arose and disoblig- ing at home; if mother wants them to go an errand they want to know why John or 'Will cannot be Bent, they have nothing, he has everything to do, never has time to fly his kite or spin his top ; if baby must be nursed while mother is busy he does not see why he has to be nurse ; Frank or Charlie, or some other fel. low he knows, never has to do girl's work, and the cross look and dis- obliging manner in which he per- forms the smallest task causes every- one to feel unpleasant, and mother gad. to think her son is that hind of a boy. Some boys are always ready to fight ; the Ieast thing done or geld causes offouoa, and up goes the hand to strike, even baby's soft cheek gets a vigorous slap ; little brothers' and sisters' oars tingle, playmstoe filly off when he begins to get angry, for they, too, have had their share of his Iticlte and cuffs.

It is comforting to know that, with the exoepiiou of the baldness of old ago, the loss of the hair may bo only temporary, and that, with restoration to health and the re. moval of the particular cause, the. hairs will grow again. A general coarse of tonies, witb shampooing end proper applications, will give good results, although it ie sometimes mouths before a perfect cure is established, ENGLISH r'ItOY'EItn& He playa well that wins. He lacks most that longe most. Help the lame dog ova: the stile. He that is warm thinks all are SO. He that ie angry is seldom at 5050. Hear twice before you speak once. He is it wise man who speaks little. He that rims in the night stum- bles. He's gone upon a sleeveless err. rand. He knows not a 1.1 from a bull's foot, IIe that runs fast must not run long. He doubles his gift who gives in time. He giveth twice that giveth in a trice. He that bows in the dust fills his eyes.

He that goes a -borrowing goes a• sorrowing. He that liveth wickedly can hard- ly die honestly. fie loses his thanks who promises and delayetb. He loses nothing that keeps God for his friend. He that licks honey from thorns pays too dear for it. He that reckons without his hoot must reebcon again. He that lives not well one year sorrows for it seven. He that lies down with dogs must expect to arise with fleas. He that falls in an evil cause falls in the devil's frying pan. He may well be contented who needs neither borrow nor flatter. He that hath a good harvest may be content with some thistles. He that hath no silver in hie puree should have silver on hie tongue. He that lendath lose double (loses both money and his friend). The lifetime of each individual hair is from two to six years. At the end of that time the hair falls out, and is at once replaced by an- other, which grows from the same root sheath. In a healthy scalp this process continues indefinitely ; but in cer- tain diseases the life -history of the hair is not so long, and the hairs die and fall out before their full length is reached. The next gen• eration may have still lees vitality, and the same process may continue until there is left an area covered with a stunted growth of poorly de• vele ed hairs. Later,even these may fall out, leaving a patoh entire- ly bald, or covered with a fine, downy growth. This condition oc- curs more frequently in women than in men, and often follows exhaust- ing• diseases, each as scrofula, fevers and nervous exhaustion. Ib ordinary baldness the history is entirely different. Here the fully grown hairs drop out, and are ro• placed at once by downy ones, and when these dieappear, a smooth, shining surface of akin is left. Ia thia case there ie an atrophy of the Lair bulbs, and consequently the hair can never be restored. In the former carie the trouble is due to deficient nutrition, and if this defect can be remedied the hair will grow again. Certain diseases, especially those accompanied with high temperature, are usually followed by more or less complete loss of hair. Typhoid, fever preaenta a very not able ex• ample of such an effect. In some' forms of neuralgia, also, there is a baldness along the course of the af- fected nerves. A. very curious phenomenon is the falling of the hair in small, isolated, round or oval patches, which aro apt to be at the back of the head. They aro small at first, but gradually increase in size away from the centre. Several patches inay thins run together, and cense a baldness of. nearly the entire scalp, This condition occurs In both sexes, and especially in the. young, Sometimes there is itching and ten. derness in the spot, but in other Clever men should never despise fools, eineo it is purely owing to cotnparisou with the foolish that they obtaiu the reputation of ciever- nese. Folly is the foil for human wisdom. Have the courage to discharge a debt while you have the money in your pocket. Have the courage to do without that which you do not need, however much your eyes may covet it. Have the courage to speak your mind when it is ncoeesary you should do so, and to hold your tongue when it is prudent you should do so. ,brave the courage to speak to a friend in a ''seedy" coat, even though yon are in company with a rich ono and richly attired. Have the courage to toll a man why you do not lend him your money. Have the courage to chow that you respect honesty in whatever guise it appears ; and your contempt for dishonest duplicity by whomsoever exhibited. Have the courage to wear your old clothes until you can pay for new ones. Proverbial Philosophy. Wait till after dinner before you fall out with the gook, How beautiful are the feet of her that bringeth in a good dinner. A soft yet persistent answer turn- eth away a borrowing neighbor. Women icsist on raising bread because they think it will be knead. ed. Let me make the bread of a na- tion and I care not who makes its pies. Before picking a quarrel with0 the gas man, buy a gallon of kero- sene. er - sene. Itis vain for you to rise up early if the kitchen chimney will not draw. Many a woman is expert with crayons who is not skillful in drat ing tea. If cleanliness is next to godiines , thou neatness is side by side wi Pit y You cannot measure a man's daily walk by the thickness of his carpet. There may be toe much of a good thing —of salt in the soup, for in- stance. A stitch in time eaves vino—but this was said before sewing machines were invented. When a man disagrees with yon it is often best to Leave him alone. The same is true with rich food. It is better to Iook the stable door after the horse is stolen than not to lock it at all. It may save the cow. Omar had his Brutus, and Charles I. his Cromwell ; but neither of them ever encountered the carpet buIt is never too late to mend ; but iflthe mending had been done earl- ier, the patch would have been smaller. Sees' thou a man rosy in the cheek, joyful in spirit and amiable in all his ways ? He hath taken a good cook to wife. Figures in the arithmetic do not he ; but the figures in a nook book sometimes represent indeterminate equations. If you borrow you must lend ; therefore, whatsoever you are un• willing that men should borrow of you, borrow not of them. The bread of sorrow is leavened with error, mixed with imprudence, kneaded with perversity, and . baked in the oven of disipation. Give not that which is useful to the pigs, neither cast away stale bread, which may possess the pro- mise and potency of good pudding. Flattery is foolishness, and who- soever is deceived thereby is not wise ; nevertheless, the discreet woman may use a little of it for her husband's sake. Gems of Thought. Truth is one age is error in the next. The best government is self-gov- ernment. Good manners cover defects for a lima. Don't bolt your reading as yuu do your food. Sham greatness, like bad money, is sure to be detected. A. jewel of a woman is better than a woman of jewel's.' Women are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of men. It is easier to overestimate than undereetimate one's self. Don't anticipate evil. The evil when it comes is bad enough. Dootors are benefactors of society keeping down population. Saying one thing and doing another burns the Dandle at both ends. Conscience differs in different per- sons and with some persona it makes no difference. The weakest amongst us has a gift, however seemingly trivial, which is peculiar to him, and which, worthily used, will be a gift also to his race for ever. When we are in the company of sensible men, we ought to be doubly cautious of talking too much, lest we lose two good things—their good opinion and our own itnprovement ; for what we have to say we know, but what they have to say we know not. There is scarcely any well -mean - leg and moderately informed friend wboao advice is not worth listening to ; but it should be no shock even to the bast and wisest of advisers, if his commie, after being respect• listened to, were not approved and followed. v e th At the meeting of the Represent- ative Committee of the Ontario Curlers, at Toronto Tuesday, a let- ter was read from Secretary Foulie. of the Grand National, in which he hoped that fifty rinks from the United States would take part in the match with Canadian clubs in 1892.
