It ShouIct Never be Permitted to D gen- erate Into Self Effacement. That parents should deny thenaS lvet superflintes for the sake of their c iild- ren is not in the least to their credit It is meet, right and their bounden duty. Tnat they should give their children better advantages than they have had tneroserves is squatty, tne nature of things, theirproper line of oenduct. Rash generation owes to the one in advance au that it can bestow of prepaiation, of cultnre, of opportunity and of privelege. The self denial of parents is the tribute the race demands. It is not especially notable nor particularly praisetvcrthy, beeause it ie the appointed and expect- ed role which is given to people when they take upqn them the- obligatione of parenthood. But self denial on the part of the pat rents is one thing, and self effacement quite another. The plain Man and the plant woman who have scrimped and stinted and saved, contrived, managed, risen early and sat up late, to send their sons -and daughters to college, to edu- cate them liberally, to place, them well in the world, are not to be set aSide as of small account when, their chilch?en ar- rive at maturity. They are wrong to allow themselves to be -pushed to the wall, set in the hack - ground, as they sometimes are. The mother may not know Euclid or have the faintest acquaintance with the Greek poets, the hausic her daughter plays may be a Chinese puzzle to her comprehen- sion, but she does know a whole world of science,: not necessarily hi books, to which her daughter can gain no clew in the classroom, since life must be the The father may speak a less ornate vernacular than his bops' -vocabulary, but he has the shrewdness, the acquain- tance with men, which come only by intercourse with one's fellows, by joy and sorrow and the different phases through which ttll pass who live long enough. It should be no part of the self denial of parents to do without the defer. ence, the tenderness, the regard, of those whom they have brought up. One finds it oftener in a.comparatively new country than in the more conven- tional life of our cities, a state of things in which parents seem to have been out- growa by their children. There are farmhouses in our frontier states where women, not yet middle aged, have put on gray' hairs and wrinkles, lost the beauty and elasticity of youth, years be- fore their time, resignedly accepting privation and toil and. loneliness to give their, girls a chance. If the girls are noble, sweet natured and true, they will hold the dear mother in the greatest esteem because of all .that she has done for them. Far from entertaining a feeling. of pride or of complacency, they will repay the beauti- ful self denial of their parents by a de- votion. which never knows a shade of diminution. It• is an ignoble nature alone -which is capable- of feeling asham- ed of those who belong to one's kith and kin .on account of any simplicity of manner or plaintness of. speech. Self denial must not become self effacement. A few years ago it was not uncommon to fied the parents of- young people rather crowded out of the way, the drawing -rooms given up to the Vouthful !daughters and their friends, while the mother and father sat by themselves in a basement dining -room or their own chamber. A better state of thiugs ob- tains 'now, and young people have learned that society is crude and unaatis- factory, in which parents have not their fitting place.-Harper's Bazar. ; A Bad Place for Women. The reader can scarcely conceive of greater hardships in life than the people who inhabit the Arctic coast of Alaska endure. Life is to them a serious strug- gle. Their faces tell it. 'Women 20 years of age show that they have borne expo - Sure and hardships which have already made them prematurely old. 'The farther south of the Arctic circle they live the less they have to endure, as the struggle to maintain existence is less of a strain and effort, and the cold is not so deadly in its work, All the drudgery in life is done by the women, and the growing girls gettheir share assigned to them quite early enough. Not infrequently tby the time a girl is 16 years old she is a mother. Scarcely one child out of five survives and grows up, and it is not uncommon in winter for both child and mother to be frozen to death. In hunting expeditions the women carry the burdens and do the other. hard work ; in whaling they cut up the blub- ber, drag it to the settlement with the aid of dogs and stow it down in caches. and, in the daily routine of life the hard work is practically all their% They are devoted to their children, ' fact to all children, never scolding or punishing them, and if a woman sees a child in trouble she will go at once to its relief.

The Power of Telescopes. Prof. HOlden says that if the bright- ness.of a star seen with the eye alone is one, with a 2 -inch telescope,' it is 100 times as bright ; with a 4 -inch teleecope, 16.inch telescope, 6400 times ; 32 -inch telescope. 25,600 times; 36 -inch telescope, 32,400 tithes.' • That is, stars can be seen with the 36 -inch telescope Which are 30,000 times fainter than the faintest stars visible to the naked eye. While the magnifying power which can be successfully used on the 5 -inch telescope is not abotte 400, the 36 -inch telescope will permit a magnifying power of more than 2000 diameters on suitable objects, stars for example. With such a tele- scope the moon appears the span° as it would with the naked eyek200 miles away.

"One day- an old negro who had been Cut rabbit hunt- ing came home briaging with him an immense rattle snake, which he had kill- ed. He exhibited his trophy wilit pride to a crowd Of tourists who were s.tand- Mg about thia front of the hotel.. The reptile measured. six feet three inches and had twelve rattles and a button. Otie of the geests offered the negro $1 for the rattles. The negro did Lot seem to think that was enough for 'so valuable a trophy au&said he would not sell them for less than $2. Just at that moment another old negrce came upon the scene, and upon hearing what was going on, said to the owner of the snake: 'Doan vo' cut off dem rattles,"Wharfo wen% cut off dem rattles, ef I kin get $2 for um ? demanded the other. sDrian you know dat ef yo' cut off dem rattles milk ob de snake fly up in yo' eye end blind vo'.
