The Country Bdy's Opportunity.
The boy raised on a farm -has a better
chance in life than a city -bred boy. This
is our profound convi don after years of ex-
perience and observe ion in city and coun-
try with young men ii a, wide range of in-
dustries. The farm bred boy almost in-
variably has the bet er eonatitution-those
elements of health and ability to stand hard,
work that mean so much in this life. He is
usually endowed w th • a stronger moral
character. We are shocked if a country lad
in our employ goes wrong; city youths are
more likely to be suspected. Absolute in-
tegrity was never iin greater demand in
young men. •
The cityboy often has a pertness or
"smart" air that the country youth does
not possess. But the latter more frequently
develop the manly, substantial bearing that
denotes real character. His mind is better
trained than the average town boy's. He
may not be quite aleglib in his book learn-
ing, but the farm -bred 'boy, taught in
Nature's school to observe and understand,
has a rare foundation upon which to build a
knowledge of industry, art, science or any
branch of farming.
The boy on the farm doesn't appreciate all
this, but he ought to be tbankful for this
country life. After he has had some years
of experience in other vocations, he will
realize how true these words are. The farm
is the place to rear a family.

The African Native and the Loco-
motive.
Some interesting remarks by the Mata.
bele on the steam engine are recorded by
Mr. Francis Cox'one of the leading vieitors
to Buluwayo. The locomotive was -thus
described: It is a hugh animal beloroging
to the white .man. It has only one eye (the
head lamp.). It feeds on fire and hates
work. When the white man pumps it to
make it work it screams. It comes from
somewhere but no one knows from whence."
Of a steam trateion engine, seen when the
driver was oiling it, the Matabele said that
"it was a huge animal which had the fever
very badly, because the 'white man poured
in medicine at so many parts of its body."

First IClondyke Pap r.
The honor of belbg the first pis
publish-
ed in Dawson City, Klondyke, s claimed by
the Kloadyke News, appearing weekly since
July 175h, 1897. It contains everything
that is of intereet to the miners, and likely
to attract others to the region. The first
number boasts of two colemns of advertise-
ments. The subscription price is $20 a
year, or 1-2d. per number. The proprietor
was the first advertisement canvasser at
Dawson City, and brought with him the
compositors to set the paper, bat they soon
kfaliim, infected by the geld fever, prefer-
ring to " lift" gold from the earth rather
than type from the case. The result is that
the proprietor of the Kloadyke News -com-
bines in the same individual the • offices of
editor, compositor, printer and publisher. -

Fgods kir' Indoor and Outdoor
Workers.
Mrs. S. T. Rorer, writing on "What In-
digestion Really Means," in the February
Ladies' Horne Journal, gives this instructive
hint as to the proper food for indoor and
outdoor laborers; "The indoor laborer,
such as, the editor and bookkeeper, and all
persons sitting at desks in illy -ventilated
and overheated rooms, need a goodly quan-
tity of repair food -their work is trying -
but less of the heat and force foods. Rice
and olive oil are the best forms of heat food,.
as they are so easily and quickly appropri-
ated. Outdoor laborers, or those who have
bodily exercise and a greater amount of
_fresh air, should proportion their allowance
t hree-fifths carbonaceous or heat -giving
feeds, to two fifths albuminoids or repair
foods -both ratios to be changed to suit
season and climate and length of days work.
In summer, for instance, the same amount
of rice would be allowed, but less oil. The
fats bum with greater vigor that the starch,
and give, in consequence, a greater amout
of warmth. The slow -burning rice is the
foodof those living in warm climates, while
the people in the far N4th live elmost en-
tirely oifaS.
Why New York is Badly
• Governed.
A great many explanations are offered of
this discreditable state of things, but there
is a general reluctance to acknowledge the
truth, which is, that if New York is badly
governed it is because it deserves bad gov-
ernment. Its people do not, to judge by
their usual votes, sincerely wish for a rigid-
ly upright administration. If they did,they
could get it at once. No city in the world
is more nearly sovereign in its own domain
than New York. Its freedom and power of
self-government are far above those of Lon-
don. There is nothing above it except the
State Legislature, and, owing to Uri vastness
and its wealth, it can control the State
Legislature whenever it chooses, and, in
fact, does control it, having demanded and
received this very year privileges which
make it in all but name a free and sovereign
city. Ita mayor will have within his do-
.
which is as populous as Holland, all
the powers of an ordinary king, while its
governing council wiU be, in fact, a legisla-
ture. This mayor, all his greater executive
colleagues, and this governing council will
be elected by the people, voting secretly by
universal suffrage, and entirely beyord any
terrorism and any bribery en mane. If the
electors iike te create an honest and efficient
governvaent they can do it, and if they ,do
not create, one; the reason -the sole reaeon
-is that they do not wish.
Every candidate is put under the micro-
scope; there is no working law of libel, and,
as the people are excited, they know before
the election the entire record, the opinions
and- the private character of every man
seeking office at their hand. They vote
with their eyes open, the simple truth being
that those who.support the wrong man do it
because they prefer a corinpt and easy ad-
ministration toe rigid upright one. They
think taxation in themselves will' be no
heavier, and that its proceeds will be more
"diffused" in small appointments, little but
profitable contracts, and high wages. They
do not exactly delight in corruption, but
they will tolerate ie rather than the "spoils"
system should come abruptly to bai end.
When Tammany rules the magistrates ate
inefficient, but they are lenient; the police
are corrupt, but they wink s at the things
the people wish to be winked at; the streets
are in bad order, but the crowds of men
engaged to repair them draw good wages
for light work when they please. -London
Economist. -

The Queen's -Letters.
The Queen is very methodical in all her
ways, and has always conducted her corres-
pondenee on certain lines, from which she is
not likely to deviate as she advances in age.
It is told that Her Majesty will not read an
official letter unless it is presented to her
unfolded, and without a single crease. Her
private lettere- are without numbers, and
never does the Queen forget to send a tele-
gram or note of kindly congratulation upon
the birthdays of her German relations.
Every morning a little "date -book" is
brought to her, and if after referring to it
the birthday of a grandchild or great-grand-
child is found noted, a gift is dispatch to
the little one accompanied by fond words
of greeting. he Queen, now that her eye-
sight is less good, naturally dictates to a
number ofletters,but there are certain ones, to
the Prince of Walea,the Empress Frederick,
and Lord Salisbury, for inatance, which she
writes with her own hand,still with freedom
and firmness; always upon the same paper,
white edged with black, and with the royal
coronet and name of residence in black also.
Besides private letters there are hundreds
of others daily received which require an
answer, penned either .h7 the Queen's pri-
vate secretary or one of his many assistants.
Very often the Queen, who is conscientious
in little things as in big, causes enquiry to
be made into matters she has not wholly un-
derstood. I may add that the Queen's
"copy" is very neat looking indeed. Rarely
skies she make any important corrections in
what she has written, as those letters which
her people have seen reproduced in fac-
simile have shown. The letter written by
her to Miss Gordon for instance, displays
hardly a word of alternation. -The Woman
et Home.

More Where it Came From.
Iu She course of an address on the shorter
catechism the other evening, a Mr. Gillie
told a • story which he believed had
never been in print. In an 'Isaesembly of
Roman Catholics'at which a Cardinal was
present, the tala fell on theological subjects,
and a Protestant lady, who was present,
joined in. • Some one happened to say to
her, "And what do you consider the true
definition of sin ?" She at once replied
with the answer of the shorter catechism,
"Sin is any want of Conformity to, or trans-
gression of, the law of God." The Cardinal
looked attentively at her. -" Madarif," he
said, "that is a very good definition."
"Yes, your Eminence, replied the lady,-
" and there are other good definitions
where that came from."

Women's Ways.
A cynic says that the majority of married
women possess a singularly limited store of
convereational. sentences for home consump-
tion, This, indeed, is mainly temposed of
such familiar Vaasa 1113-" It ie impossible

wife as yeu do ;" "I have nothing whatever
to Wear; " Your are the moat selfish man on
' earth ;" " Others do not know you as I do;"
land " There never was st man like you."'

An Instant Response.
The other morning a Sunday school teach-
er in Edinburgh gave the children a little
talk about their souls. When be had finish-
ed he thought he would ask them a few
questions to see if they understood what
had been told them. So he began-" What
did the Almighty give . us besides our
bodies ?" Perhaps you can imagine what
his emotions were when they instantly re-
sponded, "Legs !"

Tommy -"See the goat butt the boy. 'But'

A Smart Lawyer.
It seems that a lawyer is somewhat of rie
carpenter. He can file a bill, split a hair,
chop login, dovetail an argument, make an
entry, get, up a case, frame an indictment,
empanel a jury, put them in a box, bore a
court, chisel a client, and such things.

lan Maclaren on Scott.
"Scott was all gold, and even the
nuggets are not enough; the gravel
ought to' be sifted and the gold dust
gathered in, for Scott had such an afflu-
ence of knowledge, legend and poetry
that he did not write by measure, but
put his hand.into his pocket and threw
out money that any might pick it up.
What one is afraid of is that Scott is
belts; raised to the elevation of a classic,
and that is the sante thing as taking a
man out of the house of commons, where
he is an active figure, and placing him
in the stately seclusion of the house of
lords. I do not know a single page of
Scott that is not readable, and I do not/
know a single page that would shake a
man's faith or bring. a blush to a wom-
an's cheek. Why do not people read
Scott as they ought to? Some say that he
is not interesting, and -others object to
his style. Why, Carlyle himself brought
the charge against Scott that he was
amusing. Amusing! One of the grand-
est functions of fiction is to be arawling
in the right sense -that of lifting Up
the weight and care of daily life from
men's minds by leading them into re-
gions of sentiment and romance."
The Nearest Approach.
An English tourist visited Arran; and
being a keen disciple of Izaak Walton,
was arranging to have a day's good
sport. -.
Being told that the cleg, or horsefly,
would- suit his purpose achnirably for a
lure, he, addressed himself to -Christy,
the highland servant girl, "I say, my
girl, On you get me some horseflies?' '
Chtisty looked stupid, and he repeat-
ed hitOriestion. Finding that she did
not yet comprehend him, he exclaimed:
• "Why, girl, did you never see a
horsefly?"
"Naa, sir," said the girl, "but a
wanse saw a coo jump ower a preshi-
pie*. "-Rambler.

thing she considers extravagant."
"How can you tell?"
"She always explains that she bought

• BALL PROGRAMMES.
Made In a Very Great Variety of Style',
Suited to All Occasions. '
Ball programmes are made in hun-
dreds Of styles. A wholesale dealer in
New York . prepares a sample book,
which is of the size of an atlas and the
thickness of a dictionary. Fancy cards
for some other uses are shown in thin
book also, but of ball programmes alone
there may be 500 styleit. The book is
like a great album. The dealer eends
mut 2,500 such •books to printers and
stationers.
Programmes can be bought it almost
any price, inclitcling many at extremely
low prices. Nearly all are more or less
ornamented, many of them with em-
bossed work finished with gilt or ia col-
ors and in a great variety of designs.
There is scarcely any society, perhaps
none, that could not find here an appro-
priate programme. There is, for in-
stance, a ball programme embellished
with a trolley car. A ntmiber of pro-
grammes, suitable for yachting ' club
dances, have a yacht surrounded by va-
rious emblems of yachting and of the
sea. There are programmes for muoicial
societies, arith appropriate emblems,
and for railroad men, for bicycliste, for
military organizations, for letter car-
riers, for -firemen.
The cords and tassels for the pro-
grammes are a separate article of man-
ufacture. They are produced in 'great
variety of colors, qualities, sizes and
styles and sold in enormous numbers
and many of them at prices that Seem
marvelously cheap. It is probable that
nearly all the programnies of •the kinds
referred to, handsome and elaborate as
many of them are, would sell complete
at prices under $5 a hundred. There are
folded ball programmes, with a picture
decoration, that are sold at wholesale,
without printing or cord and tastiel, as
low as 85 cents a hundred.
The production of costlier, 'pro-
grtunmes, such as sell for $5 a handred
and upward, is a business by itself. These
are made in ebout 150 different design&
ranging in price hp to $1.25 each., They
are made in a great variety of hapes
and sizes, and, as with the less costly
programmes, of designs appropriate to
the occasion on which they are used.
The more costly. programmes are adorn-
ed with hand painted pictures Cellu-
loid in various forms is employed in the
making of these programmes, and satin,
lace and papier =ache are also used.
All these programmes are of larger size
than the less expensive varieties, and
each one is put up in a box. A pro-
gramme of the highest price was an
elaborate production 14 inches square.
The programmes most commonly sold
among the costlier kinds bring a1xu4
$18 a hundred.
There are sold of the cheaper -vari-
eties of ball programmes millions annu-
ally; of the costlier far fewer. These
may be numbered in thousande. Winter,
is the season of the most active demand,
for ball progriantnea, bat they are sold
the year round. Some ball programmes
are exported to Mexico and the 'various
countries of South America. Many of
the designs are equally suitable end ap-
propriate anywhere. The printing is
done in the countries in which they are
used. -New York Sun.
hounding Celebrities.
Dr. Paul Garnier, a French specialist
in lunacy, has been giving some infor-
mation about the insane men and wom-
en who follow celebrities about and fall
in love with them. The doctor has to
send two or three women of this sort to
asylums every month, and nothing is
known of the cases by the public. Good
looking priests, the doctor declares, are
notably marks for the attention of such
females. After the priests, but in a lesser
degree, come the members of parlia-
ment whose names are most frequently
in the newspapers or who make good
speeches in the chamber, the authors
and the handsome actors. The latter,
like the priests, have often been threat-
ened by their jealous admirers. • In some
instances women have gone to the the-
aters with loaded revolvers ready to fire
at them, but for some reason or Other
have failed to carry out their purpose.
As to actresses, Dr. Garnieil states that
their dangerous adorers areierribly nu-
merous. • Mme. Sarah Bernhardt has
sometimes to be watched over very care-
fully, Her worshipers secrete them-
selves in all sorts of places in order to
see her enter or leavehertheater or her
residence. The special detectives have
had to interfere on two noted occasions
in order to save the fiunous actress from
the iSullets or the daggers of maniacs
who resolved to injure or kill her be-
cause she refused to respond to their flat-
teries and passionate declarations of
love.

Shopping is a task at any time, and
not always a pleasent one, but imagine

been heading in: that direction for sev-
eral years past. In the London store
everything from a cannon to a needle
may be purchased. Yon may have your
phOtographs taken, hair dressed and
nails manicured, your household goods
stored or insured. Yon may have a
house built, decorated, furnished all
complete, with the servants and insur-
ance on the property, from one estab-
lishment Pianos, iron in bars and the-
ater tickets may be obtained, as well as
drugs, ribbons and laces. Altogether it
would be an interesting place in Which

President of Knox College, in behalf of that
institution, announced that the trustees had
authorized him to confer on Dr. Neilsen the
degree of Doctor of Laws, the highest honor
in the gift of the college. Knox College is
the only American college that has thus
honored the explorer. Dr. Nansan amid
She applause of the audience, accepted the

.-The boycott of the newspapers of Den-
ver, begun ten days ago by fourteen de-
partment stores, was ended by the uncondi-
tional surrender of the stores. The stores
made the demand that the papers reduce
their advertising rate 30 per cent. or they
would cease to advertise. The fight has
stirred up the community greatly, the re-
sult being that the stores were almoat for-
saken by buyers, and the proprietors had to
surrender or go out of business. Labor
unions have held meeting after meeting to
contrive plans to epread the agitation Isnd
keep the people away from the department
stores. At a late hour one evening the
newspaper offiaes were visited by a repre-
sentative from each store. They aeknowle
edged that they were beaten, and would re-
sume their advertising contracts tha soon as
arrangements could be made.

Derivation of "Hogmanay."
There has been considerable discussion
regarding the meaning of the word " Hog-
Manay," and also as to the origin of the
custom. One party has said that the Scotch
Protestants rose up on New Year's Eve and
murdered the Catholics, and hence that
night is called Hogmanay; but the word is
derived from the French and is older than
any possible persecutions of Catholics by
Protestants. Some say it is a corruption of
au gui menez, "lead on to the mistletoe," a
cry which in some parts of France the boys
that go about begging on the last day of
December are said to use, but; authority for
this is lacking. Others derive it from an
old French word, equivalent to "She voice
of country people beggiug small -presents, or
New Year's gifts, on Christmas •' an ancient
term of rejoicing, derived from the Druid's,
who were wont, the first day of January, to
go into the woods where, having sacrificed
and banqueted together, they gathered
mistletoe, esteeming it excellent -to make
beaste fruitful, and most sovereign against
all_tooison." In its modern um hogmanay is
a New Year's gift.
