The Idol of the Boy*. Few books are better known among English-speaking boys than "Tom Brown's School-Days at Rugby." Thomas Arnold. Jr., was at Rugby when Thomas Hughes, the Tom Brown '* of the school life, was a pupil there, and in "Passages in a Wandering Life" gives his recollections of the boys' hero. Tom Hughes at fifteen was tall for his age; his long, thin face, his sandy hair, his length of limb and his spare frame gave him a lankiness of aspect which was the cause, I suppose, of the boys giving him the extraordinary nickname of "executioner." No name could be less appropriate, for ?nr mnrnsfi mere was iiuiuiub or surly in his looks, and still less in his disposition; the temper of a bully was utterly alien from him, and he was always cheerful and gay. He was one of the best runners in the school, and many a time I have scon him in the quadrangle just before "hare and hounds"?he being one of the hareslightly clad, and with a bag of "scent" strapped around him. He was too keen-eyed and observant to be specially popular, but all the small boys liked him because he was kind and friendly to them. He reached the sixth form, but left before he had risen high in it. on doubt. that his work lay ?? ?? . elsewhere.?Youth's Companion. POWERFUL MEN OF THE EAST. An Interesting Explanation of their Unusual Strength. The Secret of their Marvelous Vitality and Nerve Force Jealousy (Juarded. Women of tlie Harem Compound a Potion Whose Rejuvenating effects are Almost Miraculous and Astonished the Most Skeptical. The fondest hopes of ancient or ! modern seekers after the fountain of j jKMpetual youth, can scarcely have i aimed higher than the results aehiev ed by the marvelous compound, known throughout the East as EL MOKBIll ! Travellers returning to Europe have, i from time to time, brought astonishing tales of the rejuvenating effects produced bv this Wonder of the Orient. Crudely compounded by the Women of the llarem, from formulas handed dow n orally from generation to generation, the secret of this preparation thus jealousy guarded and known only to the inmates of the harem and the conrt physicians, EL MOKB1K has | been practically unobtainable, except-j ing by the favored ones for whom ilj was intended. Recently, however, a prominent na-1 live Arabian Physician, banished from i liis country for political offense, and deprived of his vast possessions, has, availed himself of bis knowledge, to | ??.... .. hoHttimr his station. %'ai n u inuuiuvu w??v?*?p - ?by supplyins2T this inarvelJouseompoiiud, j EL .MokdlR. to the nubility audi waalthier elates of all Europe, who i have cheerfully paid him large fees iu return for th?> bcnelits received. Content with the huge income derived fioin this practice, this aged physician lias repeatedly refused very libera) otters made to him for the formula of hi* remedy, hut he has finally i agreed with the importing house ot Thk Xoves-Fcllkk Cnmpany, of I Philadelpliia, to put it up in curvet.ient form for sale exclusively in the United States and this firm having the exclusive agencv. now offers it for the first time to tne American public. Tli is Remedy must not be confounded with the numerous nervous exhaustion. lost manhood, and self abuse remedies which ate advertised under a variety of names, as there is absolutely nothing which scientific chemistry has been able to produce, which can even approaeli the peerless EL MOKBIR. a purely vegetable compound, extracted from rare tropical roots and herbs. EL MOKBIR is a remedy for one specific purjiose. which is to Strengthen the vitaf force and prevent decay in rro? mapvoiioiis efforts in arresting i decay of the vital principles, especially in the male, being unparalleled ami never-failing, and as its use is universal all over the East, where strong, virile ni<-n with large families of descendants are the rule, then: unist he no doubt, either as to its efficiency or benefit to the general system. While it is :tn absolute specific and positively guaranteed to cure the worst case of nervous debility, lost manhood, or similar weaknesses due to exeesses or youthful errors' it is also used with the greatest success us a vitalizer. giving power to all weak parts, and developing and maintaining the lull natural vigor of manhood. It is put up for the American trade in table t form, and though extreme! v powerful, it is perfectly haimless and easily taken, one tablet being a dose and doing the work at once, and so evidently as to leave no doubt in the mind of ihe patient It will cure you *o as to stay cured.

Soldb:. ???? A celebrated English physician asserts that the increased height and weight of English and Americans in tire last half century are ehietly due to the increased consumption of su^.ir. lie cites in confirmation of this opinion. the lino health of the date-eating Arabs and the sugar-cane-eating 11c groes. At a recent meeting of naturalists at Chicago, Mr. II. H. Donaldson described experiments with frogs, tending to show that those animals rapidly absorb water through the pores of the skin. lie emphasized the fact that frogs never take water by tlie mouth. On being exposed for several hours to dry air the frogs experimented with lost fourteen per cent, of their weight, but this was nearly all regained within twenty-four hours when they were placed in a dish containing water only one centimetre in depth. It is well known that the inspiration of oxygen has permitted aeronauts to ascend to heights where their lives would have been unsafe bad they depended alone on the thin air of these high regions. The oxygen is breathed in through a tube bold to the mouth. M. Cailletet points out that tliis method of inspiration through the mouth is not only inconvenient, but unsatisfactory, since we naturally breathe through the nostrils. Oxygen breathed through the mouth tills the buccal cavity, it is true, but is often rejected before it reaches the lungs where it is wanted. He has devised a simple apparatus which is perfectly effective, besides being entirely convenient in use. and it should be of material use in ascensions to great heights. Siberia makes the latest contribution to the small number of skeletons of primitive man that have been discovered. The skeletons of cave and lake dwellers and other primitive representatives of the race hitherto brought to light have usually been associated with utensils made of stone, while the interesting tiud on the slope of n mountain in the upper Angara basin. Central Siberia, was surrounded by rude manufactures fashioned entirely from the bones of animals. rrouahjy ail anmropoiogists agree with the view of Professor Virchow that none of those skeletons lias thrown a great (leal of light upon the development of the race, though, judging from his remains, it is perfectly evident that primitive man did nut resemble a monkey any more than do men of to-day. All the remains that have been discovered show that the ancients were well formed, having the same characteristic marks that we lind in men of our times. None of them was so poorly developed as to justify the assertion that he possessed the lowest form of skull. From what is known of his brain capacity, physical structure and handiwork, we need not be ashamed to acknowledge primitive man as a brother. A very practical, as well as interesting illustration of the Darwinian theory of selection is afforded by what is now being done in the Dominion of Canada towards the improvement of agriculture, remarks a writer in inamuerss journal. it uns nct-n proved long ago that 110 kind of seed, however excellent, will flourish in all soils and in all localities. The Canadian authorities, with this undoubted fact before them, experimented with sixty-live varieties of oats which were sown at farms in tin different provinces, by which they ascertained which variety was the one to he selected for each locality. Some of the plants grown from the same seed, were more vigorous than others, and these were selected and the seed from them carefully garnered for future use. The entire system is well expressed in the report to the Standing Committee 011 Agriculture by Professor Robertson, who writes that "the only sure way of improving the grain of a locality,* and of increasing the productiveness of varieties suited to it, is by a selection of the seed from the crops and plants that have succeeded best there, and by doing that year after year successively." An !nstance is given of one Canadian fanner who encouraged his daughters to go round the wlicatfields and pick cany neaus rrom tlie largest am! most vigorous seed. This seed was carefully cleaned and sowr, and iho wheat thus obtained took the gold medal at the Paris Exhibition, A SOO.OOD Fear!. The most famous pearl discovered in Australia of late years is tlie.t known as the Southern Cross. It consists of a cluster of nine pearls in the shape of a cruc-ii::, and is almost perfect in proporih a. This freak of nature was picked up at low water on the Lacipcdc Islands by a beach comber named Clarl:; it was last sold for $50,000. Brazil produces 150,000 tons of coffee out of the world's yearly crop of 000,000 Ions. RAMS'HORN BLASTS ? HE world is utwr cold to the warmhearted. cannot he lost. Love's labor is never laborious.

A man who is willing to begin bis work in a small way shall be led into a large one. Seme people do not believe in offices in the church because they are never nominated. You cannot put the church before Christ without putting Christ behind the church. Tho life of Christianity is in the death of Christ." There can be no music in life where there are no silences. The heavenly vision dees not come to the slumbering church. The brightest truths are often dug out of the darkest doubts. God sends no storms without His rainbow arching somewhere. Truth is in danger of becoming false when it becomes fossilized. No government can make a people free when their hearts are enslaved. There is no man so poor as to be without i.he influence of his example. The family altar is the heart of the home and determines its health.
