Bearing in mind the importance of the few years in which so much has to be ac- quired, so much accomplished by the stu- dent, too great stress cannot be laid on the value of proper method in disposing of both time and energy. “ A man may be old in hours, though young in years, if he has lost no time.” writes Lord Bacon, and it is in the adjustment of suitable periods to parti- cular tasks, 'and the utilization of the brief and irregular intervals between that the saving of time practically consxsts, says the New York Ledger. It has been estimated that the mere difierence between rising at 6 and 9 of 40 years is nearly equivalent to the addition of 15 years to a man’s lifetime. There may be some idiosyncrasy in the matter of getting up early, but, in very many cases, both rising late and sitting up late at night are largely the result of indo- lence. And for many who have sufficient occupation in the daytime, there is a great contrast between the intellectual value of the morning, when the brain is fresh, and of the evening when it is fatigued, and rather inclined for recreation than fresh effort. But, if pOSSible, of even more importance than the value of time is the value of thought: and it is only the p0wer of com- manding and controlling the activity of the brain that can enable us to employ the brief time at our disposal in furthering the objects which we have in View. Barrow, the early adviser of Isaac Newton, poeti- cally observed: “The spirits employed in thought are apt to flutter and fly away, so that it is hard to fix them ; our mind being a. restless thing, never abiding in a. total cessation from thought or from design, and, like a ship in the sea, if not steered to some good purpose by reason, making no useful as." way, but yet tossed by the waves of fancy, or driven by the Winds of temptations some- whither.” Curiosity is the intellectual appetite, but it requires both direction and control for the assimilation of sound and useful knowledge. The efl'ect of novelty in producing an impression on the mind is most valuable, but when not followed up through investigation it is useless ; and too much novelty is of all things the most wearying. But in the midst of his work the student; should be careful of health. The best work is done when in the best health, and this depends on a. suitable balance between mental and. physical exertion, with plenty of fresh air and regularity with regard to food and rest. It is far better, when neces~ sary, to take a. brief holiday to avoid being ill, than to endure a longer absence from .work enforced by illness. Don’ts For Husbands.

They represented a. value of two and a. quarter million roubles.” The conditions under which poultry farming may be success- fully carried on are infinicely more favorable in this country than in Russia. Why, there- fore, should not English eggs supply the English market? Of course poultry farm- ing means something besides the acquisition of a small “ rnn ” and the proper placement of a. few nests with nestâ€"eggs, but the science of rearing chickens is pretty well exact, and not very complicated, and there is no doubt that if poultry-farming is done in a practical and business-like way it will have practical and satisfactory results. Do you know thaut a. bit Bf butter, well rubbed over the top of your bread as soon as it is taken from the oven, will gave the crust that dark, glossy brown surface that is go appetizing? .H. «1 W Doisu kno; that a. llttle consideration at the breakfast table will make the whole day brighter for you? Why in the world are hot a. few more enterprising women, with a- small capital at their disposal, coming forward as poultry farmers? There are one or two already “in the trade," and doing exceeding Well, and there are hundreds and thousands of women who “ make a. little money ” by selling eggs and poultry in an amateurish way. But while we have such facts before us as the following, which comes from a reliable source it is not amateurs, but practical 'pro- fessionals that are required. “ During the last eight months no less than 114,855,360 It is a trite but correct remark, that, as the human form hasbeen molded by nature, the best shape is undoubtedly that which she has given it. To endeavor to render it more elegant by artificml meansis to change it; to make it much smaller below and much larger above is to destroy its beauty ; to keep it cased up in a. kind of domestic cuirass is not only to deform it, but to ex- pose the internal parts to serious injury. Under such compression as is commonly practiced by ladies, the development of the bones, which are still tender, does not take place conformably to the intention of nature because nutrition is necessarily stopped, and they consequently become twisted and de- formed. Those who wear these appliances of tight- lacing. often complain that they cannot sit: upright without themâ€"are sometimes, m- deed, compelled to wear them during all the twentyvfour hours ; a fact which proves to what an extent such articles weaken the muscles of the trunk. The injury does not fall merely on the internal structure of the body, but also on its beauty, and on the temper and feelings with which that beauty is associated. Beauty is in reality but an- other name for expression of countenance, which is the index of sound health, Intelli- gence, good feelings and peace of mind. All are aware that uneasy feelings, existing habitually iu the breast, speedily exhibit their si rnature on the countenance, and that bitter t oughts or a. bad temper spoil the human expression of its comeliness and grace. The noble art of self-defence will not die out if the Speaker of the British House of Commons,Rt. Hon. Arthur W ellesley Peel, retainsany influence or represents any public sentiment in merry England.

The time most probably will never come when the business of railroads will be carried on without some loss of life or limb. It is true that the proportion of accidents to the number of employees and passengers carried declines slightly each year owing to the improvements in road-beds, cars and methods of handling trains, but the annual list of dead and injured from some form of railway accident remains frightfully long, and it indicates that railroading is especially dangerous to employees. The figures slim); that during the year 1889 6,000 railway employees were killed 36,000 inju ed alone in this country. This is more than twice the loss of the Union army at Gettysburg in killed and wounded, and shows that war is not the only danger- ous business in which men engage. It is probable that many of the victims that go ‘ to make up this long list were killed or in- jured through their own carelessness, a cause for danger against which no appliances of safety can provide. \Vbilc men remain careless and inattentive, accidents will occur in all trades and professions. But no one can claim that even a. reason- able attempt. has been made to guard against accidents to employes in the face of the fact that of the million freight cars in use in the United States less than one-seventh are pro- vided with automatic couplers. There is no worsemantrap known than the ordinary fink and pin coupling. That it is unnecessary to longer retain this out-dated and exceedingly dangerous method of coupling freight cars is fully demonstrated by the fact that one- sevcnth of the cars are provided with auto- matic couplings. which could as easily be at- tached to the other six-sevenths. The link and pin coupling is like the car stove, a standing menace to human life, and should go. But it won’t go until public opinion and law make it go. The roll of dead and injured for a. single year should furnish an irresistible argument why it should be abolished, however, and that very quickly. Blinded by Electric Lights One War Ship lluns [mo Another During Battle. Naval projectors are fitted with a shade which, by moving a. small lever on the out- sidc oi the cylinder, can be manipulated so as to cover and reveal the arc. In this man- ner the projector can be used for signaling at night between two or more vessels, or be- tween a. vessel and the shore. For signaling in this way the Morse code is used, short flashes representing the dots and long flashes the dashes. By displaying and shutting off the beam directed against the clouds and using the Morse code of signals, communica- tion has been maintained be sweet: two vessels at sea. separated by a. distance of sixty miles. The following incident is an illustration of what may result from the misguided use of projectors in naval maneuvers, :says a writer in Electricity. The torpedo boat Edmond Fontainc, 1‘25 feet long, and having on board a. crew of twenty oificers and men, was engaged in an attack on the harbor of Cherbonrg during the French naval manen- I vers this summer. In the heat of the battle the Fontaine, which belonged to the attack- ing fleet, attempted to pass in front of the i Surcouf, one of the ships defending the harbor. The Surcouf rammed the Fontaine. The cause of the collision was that the projector of one of the other ships of the defending fleet was kept steadily directed on the torpedo boat. The commander and quartermaster of the Fontaine were blinded by the dazzling rays, and could not (listin- guish the surrounding vessels nor judge dis- tances correctly. Believing himself to be farther away from the approaching ship than he really was, the commander of the hon- taine kept on his course, running straight across her bows, and his boat wag ramrfie almost dead alnidships. Dr. Longer, who was appointed at the late international medical convention of London to report about the number of suicides among soldiers of various nationalities, published the results of his investigation. From the Doctor’s report, based upon the military statistics from 1875 to 1887, it ap- pears that the largest number of suicides occurred in the Austrian army. averaging every year 122 to every 10,000 soldiers. This does not include 40 cases of foiled attempts at suicide, and it represents 20 per cent. of the general mortality among the Austrian soldiers. _ Next to Austria. is Germany, which from 1878 to 1838 averaged sixty-three suicides to every 10,000 soldiers, not counting ten cases of unsuccessful attempts at self-destruction. In the Italian army from 187-! to 1889, on the average, forty soldiers in every 10,000 committed suicide every year. The French army from 1872 to 1889 lost in Europe twenty-nine soldiers to every 10,000 annual- ly, and in Algeria. itlpst just twice as many by suicide. In Belgium there occurred twenty-four, in England twenty-three, in Russia twenty, and in Spain fourteen soldiers to every 10,000 commit suicide. In previous years in England the greatest number of suicides occurred among old soldiers, but since the conditions of the service were changed the number of young suicides increased in the army. In France, Italy, Germany, and Austria. most of the suicides are young soldiers; in Austria especially mostly recruits commit suicide in the first few months of their joining the army. cut the many Ives in In oldiers serving a term of imprisonment .om commit self-destruction, but they imit it mostly when other disuiplinary sums are applied to them. he preferred means of suicide is among toot; soldiers, the use of firearms, while mlrymen in most cases use the noose or their throats.

The truth of the remark is likely to receive a curious illustration in the re- sults of the recent census in the northwest provinces and Oude. A novolty of the census was a. separate classification for the various sects of Hindoos and Mohammedans. Sect, however, implies a. definite religious creed with distinctive tenets, from which a. limi- ted number of schismutics have diverged, but so far as Hindooism is concerned at all events, we have no such creed, and if we are to apply the term sect to the heterogeneous groups of worshipers who call themselves Hindoos we must materially modify its ordinary significance. As a matter of fact the census ennmerators found the ordinary Hindoo did not know what was meant when he was asked what his sect was. All he could say was the particular godhe worshiped. The consequence is that the census papers are crowded with a vast number of tribal and local gods and deities, many of which have never been heard of before, and will in all probability, never be heard of again. Sir Alfred Lyall was the first to show, in his Asiatic studies, how ready Brahminism is to assimilate all sorts of strange gods and demons, and the recent census will afiord a remarkable proof of the accuracy of his observation. The gods of the present census, however, will not be the gods of the next ; manv will have disappeared and many will many will have disappearéd and many wi have appeared for the first time ; to than the classification is kept up the census recon will in process of tlme becnme a. lumber rod of dead and mouldering divinities. Nl without reason does the idol Bumbo, in ’0} new Savoy opera, grumble at the ficklene: of theHindoo worshipers. “ They ha.‘ found another idolâ€"that one’s put upon Ll shelf,’ isa. refrain which might be chant< yearly as the procession of discarded demm demigods and defied saints, hous tribal gods and local gods passes spacious Hindoo Pantheon int their places to be taken by othe with the rolling of the years, with _the r similar fate Be Kind to Your Servants. A subject which is receiving a good deal of attention just now, and itis one in which dwellers in the cities are more particularly 1 interested, is the scarcity of good servants. Mrs. M. E. W. Sherwood discusses the 4 question in an article in the last North ‘ American. ' She takes the ground that mis- tresses themselves are greatly to blame for the state of things which at present exists. ! Those who have servants are not sufliciently ‘. considerate of them. It is of course neces- l 1 sary that the duties of servants should he 1: closely defined, reasonable, and fixed. But in doing this it is quite possible to make the l servant feel that she has an interest and a. l ‘ stake in the affairs of the house, and she if will. in nine cases out of ten, do her work ‘- willingly and well and in the shortest space of time. Mrs. Sherwood thinks that the so frequently changing of servants is unneces- sary, and could in the majority of cases be avoided by a. proper treatment on the part of the mistress. A little praise and an oc- ‘casional kind word would result in more . mutual good will. Let no mistress be afraid ‘ that she may break down her authority or make herself common, or would be likely to evoke a response of imper ' ence, by being kind to her servants. It' s not kindness, but an injudicious use of kindness, which makes anybody rude Who ought to be re- spectful and deferentially civil and grateful. A kind mistress finds a safe and royal Way to the hearts of her servants, by taking an interest in their health, their pursuits and even their tastes. They grow to love her and to kiss the hem of her garments if they see that she is thinking of them as being human. If she is grateful for an nnexpect- . ed service she need indulge in no undignified familiarity. Let the mistress be sympa- ‘ thetic and gentle and when the occasion requires a reprimand, a dignified adminis- tration of such then will be much more ef- fective than a constant complaining and the continued ostentatious display of author- ity. Let it be remembered, too, that a lady or gentleman is always courteous in speech, Such are always courteous especially in ad- dressing servants or others whose positions place them at a disadvantage in controversy. To speak rudely to those who cannot resent the affront is mean and cowardly. Ar- rogant self assertion is the surest possible mark of vulgarity of mind, Whether the person guilty of it be a. princess or a. seam- stress, the mistress of a. .nansion‘ or the humblest servitor in the kitchen. Personal beauty is not requisite in a hus- band, and if he is a little mistaken in his estimate of himself in this respect'ib will make him happy and save the trouble of laboring for that, eud.â€"â€"Sullivan. \Vlmtever is unjust can never be in any despalr, where mere 15 Luca true sense necessary, and the sacrifice ofi conviction that all is over principles to circumstances will, in every x- - - 16 there v sense, and in all cases, be found as unwise and '15 Inevuab ’ as it is unworthyâ€"Sir \Valter Scott.
