At the distribution of prizes for pro- ielency in intellectual and physical ex - M University College, Loudon, neentiy, Professor Huxley spoke to the boy, dwelling particularly upon the eelneef mdustry and physical capacity fer hard work ID the competition of ev-' ery day life. The chief value of their success in school lay, he said, in the evidence it afforded of the possession of those faculties which would enable .thera to deal successfully with those lifeconditions they were about to meet. Asking what sort of fellows were the prise winners, he continued: Is there, in all the long list which we have gone through to -y, the name of &single boy who is dull, Blow, idle, and giddy? I am sorry to say that I have not the pleasure of knowing any of the ense Winners this year personally—but lake tiPon myself to answer, Certainly Bot, Nay, I will go so far as to affirm that the-boyst� whom I have had the pleasure of giving prizes to -day, take thern altogether, are the sharpest, quickest, most industrious and strong- est boys in the school. •But by the strongest I do not exactly mean those who can lift the greatest weights or jump ftirthest—but those who have most endurance. You will observe spin. that I say take them alto- gether. I do not doubt that outside the list of prize winners there may be boys of keener intellect than any who are in disqualified by lack of industry or lack of health, and there may be highly industrious boys who are unfortunately dull or sickly, and. there may be ath- letes who are still more unfortunately either idle or stupid, or both. Quick- ness in, learning, readiness, and accu- . raey in reproducing what is learnt, in- dustry, endurance—these are the quali- ties, mix -ed in very various proportions, which are found in boys who win prizes. Now there is not the smallest aoubt that every one of these qualities is of great value in practical life. Upon whatever career you may enter, intel- lectual quickness, industry, and the power of bearing fatigue are three great advantages. But I want to impress von you, and through you upon those who will direct your future course, - the conviction which I entertain that, as a general rule, the relative impor- tan-Ce of these qualifications is not rightly estimated, and that there ale other qualities of no less value which are not directly tested by school com- petition. A somewhat varied experi- ence of men has led me, the longer I live, to set the less value upon mere cleverness; to attach more and more importance to industry and to physical endurance. Indeed, I am much dis- posed to thin.k that endurance is the most valuable quality of a,11 ; for indus- try, as the desire to work hard, does not come to much if a feeble frame is unable to respond to the dePire. Ev- erybody who has had to make his way in the world must know that while the occasion for intellectual effort of a high order is rare, it constantly happens that a man's future turns upon his being able to stand. a suddeu aud heavy strain upon his powers of endurance. To a lawyer, a physician, or a mer- chant it may be everything to be able to work sixteen hours a day for as long as is needful withoat knotking up. More- over, the patience, tenacity, and good humor, which are among the most im- portant qualifications for dealing with men, are incompatible with an irritable brain, a weak stomach, or a defective circulation. If any one of you prize- winners were a son of mine, as might have been the case, I am glad to think, on former -occasions, and a good fairy were to offer to equip him according to my wishes for the battle of practical life, I should say, "1 do not care to trouble you for any more cleverness; put in as much industry as you. can in- stead; and on, if you please, a broad, deep chest, anc1 a stomach of whose ex- istence he shall never know anything." I should be well content with th,e pros- pects of a fellow so endowed. The other point which I wish to impress upon you is, that competitive examina- tion, useful and and excellent as it is for some purposes; is only a very par- tial test, of what the winners will be worth in practical life. There are peo- ple who are neither very clever nor very industrious, nor very strong, and who wonld probably be nowhere in examin- ation, and who yet exert a great influ- ence in virtue of what is called force of character. They may not know much, but they take care that what they do know they know well. They may not be very quick, but the knowleage they do acquire sticks. They may not even be particularly industrious or enduring, but they are strong of will and firm of purpose, undaunted by fear of responsi- bility, single-minded and trustworthy. In practical life a man of this sort is worth any number of merely clever and learned people. Of course I do not mean to imply for a moment that suc- cess in examination is incompatible with the possession of character, such as I have just defined. it, but failure in examination is no evidence of the want of such character. And this leads me to administer from my point of view the crumb of comfort which on these occa- sions is ordinarily offered to those who do not appear upon the prize list. It is quite true that practical life is a kind of long competitive examination, con- ducted by that severe pedagogue, Pro- fessor circumstance. But my experi- ence leads me to conclude that his marks are given much more' for charac- ter than for cleverness. • Hence, though I have no doubt that those be) s who have reCeived pries to -day have already given rise to a fair hope that the future may see them prominent, perhaps bril- liantly distinguished members of so- ciety, yet neither do I think it at all un- likely that anaong the undistinguished crowd there may lie the making -4)f some simple soldier whose practical sense and indomitable courage may save an army led by characterless cleverness to the brink of destruction, or some plain man of business, who, by dint of sheer honesty- and firmness, may slowly and surely rise to prosperity and: honor When hi more brilliant compeers, for lack of character, have gone down, with all who trusted them, to hopeless ruin. Suchthings do happen. Let none of yew be discouraged. Those who have Won prizes have made a good beginning, those who have not may yet make that geed ending which is better than a good beginning. No life is wasted unless it ends.in sloth, dishonesty or cowardice. No success is worthy of the na,nie un- less it is won by honest industry and brave breasting of the waves of for- tune. Unless at the end of life some exhalation of the dawn still liangs.about the palpable and the familiar —unl ss there is some transformation of the lr al into the best dreama. of youth—depe d upon it, whatever outward success in y have gathered around a man, he is b t an elaborate and a mischievous failu e. A Feeder of Cats. , A Professional Purveyor for the Cc ts of the" City of New York,. A Herald reporter, while taking t ie early. morning air in the region of t le deserted battery, noticed two cats, s t- tiug like miniature caryatides, one u each side of a warehouSe, eagerly peer- ing around the corner and occasionally interchanging a remark, which led him to believe that the cats had some spec- ial object in so sitting and so peering. A walk through Bridge, Stone, Water, Pearl, Front and other adjacent ware- house Streets revealed more cats, all ev- idently with some fixed purpose. Kit- tens, were there, too, but they display- ed none of the levity commonly attach- ed to youth. Each wore the solemn as- pect of bummers. Separately seated at the front door of their respective ware- houses, as if they were theniselves the proprietors, they looked up and down the street as if awaiting 'the arrival of the postman. The solid individuals of that at fam- ily who looked after the welfare of the great brick buildings intrusted to their charge occasionally were intruded upon by a strange cat, of the tramp kind in fact, whose coat showed signs of wear, but who was, of course, frowned upon and driven- away by -the more respect- able members of the cat fraternity, who with hisses and other feline expletives expelled him ignominiously from the neighborhood. All down town seemed to be alive with cats. Cats crawled from little square holes in doors; cats came out from under iron gratings, cats assembled from neighboring housetops where they had been making night hid- eous with their serenades; stray cats, who had neither a local habitation or a name, took post; other cats from dis- tant wards, but who seemed intent on something, visited the precinct ; bla k cats, gray cats, Maltese cats, and eve y other variety of the feline family w s represented. COMMOTIO NI AMONG THE CATS. The case was presently apparent. Man in a blue checked shirt, with a heavy basket on his arm, laden wi h small packages of meat, came arou d the corner. At once every cat came o the attitude, "attention !" and "pr sented arms," and in many cases, tai s too. From this .basket the -man meeting a regular boarder, took a pac age of meat wrapped ,in brown pap r and handed his portion to each c t. Those who were not regular boarde s made spasmodic attempts in some cas s to assist the regular boarders in the co sumption of his food, but as a rule we e unsuccessful.. The purveyor knows 11 his customers, or rather his boardeis. He knows that the Maltese lives at No. 19 State street, and if she inquires. f r her breakfast at No. 10 he punishes hr by refusing to give her her rations., S, too, he knows that the huge, tawny ci.t who looks after the interests of a po k warehouse on. Bridge street has no bu ness on Stone street. He has studi d his boarders, "has them down fine," and no cat dares to be on any oth r premises but his own at the breakfajst hour. BOARDING THE CATS. In an interview with the man for whose cominebthe cats i so impatiently wait, and whom ti ey fondle, purr abou t, and. against whose legs they rub their superfluous fur, he said: "Well, I have been in this busine for several years. I mana.ge to nia e about lf,30 a week, the actual amou t varying at different seasons of the ye r. r take out about one hundred and fif y pounds of meat in the morning for d livery ' among my cat family, and it's pretty hard work, for to say nothing of the job of lugging the grub around, all the cats in the country know me and follow me, and I sometimes feel as though I was the father of the whole cat tribe." Reporter.—Whom do you supply with cats' meat generally? Purveyor.—There are lots of stores in this neighborhood whose occupants deal in pork, cheese, hams and other eatable matter of that description. Now all these stores are mostly very old, and infested witli rats. Well, the people who occupy the stores have to keep plenty of cats to keep the rats down, These cats have to be fed. They ain't to cut a ham to feed the cats, nd cats don't like salt meat any- how, nd on Sunday there would be no one h re to feed them. So, as I had read ne time how men in Loudon went mune with carts and fed the cats, I thongs t I would go into the business on a sm ller scale. " Re orter.—What do you charge per day f r the board of the cat ? Pu veyor.—Five cents, and its too chea at that. I buy meat away up town and have to buy wrapping paper to ke p the separate pieces in; and whit more, I don't feed my cats on boar in' -house hash. Reporter.—You don't mean to say you feed them on tenderloin steak? Parveyor.—Of course I don't give 'em choide cuts,but I don't feed 'ern on poor grub . I don't give 'em no cuttings from dead animals, as they say they. do in L ndon and other places where cats' meat men go round, but I give 'em good, fair, ecent food, varying it from. day to day. I always give 'em fish on Friday. Ther 's always plenty of fish in the market then, and it's cheaper to me than ia eat en that day, and cats like fish a yhow. A change of diet is good for cp ts as well as men. Sug estion.s for the Sick Room. In preparing a meal for any one whos appetite is delicate, it should be mad to look as tempting as Possible. The ray should be covered with the whit st napkin, and the silver, glass and hina should shine with cleanli- ness. There should not be too great a varie y of *Wide, and a very small por- tion pf eacn one. Nothing more quick- ly disgusts a feeble appetite than a qua tity of food presented at one time. The atient should never be corsulted befoifehaud as to what he will eat or wha1 he will drink. If he asks for any- thina, give it to him, with the doctor's per ission ; -otherwise prepare some - thin he is known to like, and offer it with ut previous comment. One of the chief offices of a good nurse is to think for he patient. His slightest want shou d be anticipated and gratified be: fore e has time to express it. Quick .0) THE HURON EXPOSITOR, observation will enable her to detect the first symptom of worry and excite- ment and to remove the cause. An in- valid never should be teased Ninth the exertion of making a decision. Whether the room is too hot or too cold; wh'eth- er chicken broth, beef tea or gruel is best tor his luncheon, and all similar matters, are questions which should be decided without appalling to him. Household troubles should be kept as far as possible from the sick room. Squabbles of children or servants never should find an echo there. In the event of some calamity occurring, of which it is absolntely necessary the sufferer should be informed, the ill - news should be broken as gently as pos- sible, and every soothing device em- ployed to help him to bear the shock. Above all, an invalidaor even a person apparently -convalescent, should be 'saved from his friends. One garrulous acquaintance admitted for half an hour will undo the good done by a week of tender nursing. Whoever is the responsible person in charge should know how much her patient can bear, she should keep - a careful watch on visitors of whose discretiOn she is not certain, and the moment she perceives it to be necessary, politely but firmly dismiss them. She must carry out im- plicitly the doctor's directions, particu- larly those regarding medicine and diet. Strict obedience to his orders, a faithful, diligent, painstaking following of his. instructions, will ensure to the sufferer the best results from his skill, and bring order, method and regularity into do- mestic nursing.—Scribner for September. • Freezing Fish for Winter Use. To equalize the supply of fine fish, several varieties of which. are apt to be overabundant in this market in sum- mer and. searc.e in winter, the fish deal- ersof . New York have erected three large refrigerating houses wherein many tons of frozen fish are stored. The largest of the freezing houses is located on Front street, and belongs to the -members of the Fish Market Associa- tion. When there is a greater supply of fish in the market than is likely to be sold during the day, the wholesale dealers se:ect the best and remove them before daylight from the vessels to the freezing houses, where each fish is cleaned and.preparedfor the ,refrigera- tor. The whole of the Front street house is devoted to the work; the first story from front-, to rear 'and the entire width of the building from floor to ceil- ing being one gigantic refrigerator di- vided into three sections, each capable of being subdivided into six apartments or boxes. The walls are coated with zinc, a second or inner wall of the same metal separating each a,partment—a space of several inches being left be- tween the wall of one subdivision and that of its neighbor, with oblong slits permitting the air from these spaces to pass into the apartments. These spaces are filled with ground ice and rock salt, a mill being used to grind the 'mixture together, and at_this season of the year. it requires over 3,000 pounds of ice and about 11 bushels of salt daily to keep the freezing houses in proper order. The selected fish having been cleaned, are placed in freezing pans cov- ered with ground ice and salt, thus ex- cluding the air while the process of freezing is going on. This work is done on the upper floor of the same build- ing. When frozen stiff the fish are taken to the apartment of the special owner and there laid away in the cold until wanted. The season for freezing fish, says the reporter of the Commercial Advertiser, who furnishes this accounti is not yet at its height,. as the consumption now nearly equals the supply, and the blue fish have not been caught in such quan- tities as would -pay for preserving. Be- fore September, however, the work will be at its height, and, according to the usual statistics of the probable catches, there will then be over 250,000 pounds of frozen fish in the storehouses in this city. The rarest fish will thus be ob- tainable for the rich man's table in the depth of winter, and sheepshead, sal- mon, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, and many other kinds, only known to ordin- ary consumers in the summer season, can then be supplied at rates which will be deenied cheap ..when the labor and expense ef preserving the fish are taken into consideration.
