The Worth of Manhood. By President Harris, of Bucknell College. ANHOOD is a growth, a development, an end to be attained. We are born with a nature which is to be shaped by self-activity Into character.! This nature comes to us by heredity. Aptitu les pass down in the blood. Education cannot be transmitted, but capacity for it can be. A man is not responsible for what he inherits, but he is in some measure for what ne transmits, for ac quired traits are transmitted. Another element in growth té man hood is the environment. The natural surroundings h ave much to do with a man's growth, It is more difficult to attain to a high type in a malarial district than in a region with pure air, But the most potential environment is the social. The home, the play ground workshop, business, the State, the Church are the great factors In enabling one to reach a noble manhood. While not undervaluing the ad vantage of material wealth, better for the is the heritage from a family rich in the things of the spirit. The very poor and the very rich seldom have a home, a Teal family life. And that is the reason that society is constantly rotting off at the top and rotting away at the bottom. A third factor is personal choice. A man is not wedged tween two Inert, unyielding masses, heredity and environment, freedom, he is a factor in his own development He has what lame is in his surroundings he will react and make mentally lly his own. Besides, he may choose his environment, He cannot mine into what family he shall born. but he can decide into what social relation he will live. His choice is not absolute, but it is sufficient. Thue behiztd man is edly, the past entering into him; about him is the environ ment, Within elf<determining personality; but above him and about! him, and in as well, is God Man is not left unhelped, an orphan, a cast eway in the world Over against the heredity of nature is the heredity ol grace, the birth from abov environment of the soul. While the personal God In communion first and alone, yet the spiritual means of growth are not overlooked. This is chiefly the Church with its word and its* min penetrating and transforming the homs and the State and society. there is formed an environment which increasingly favorable hood The standard to be reached in this growth is infinite, and, therefore, the man himself Is im & ZR The Jews in Russia. l.ife a ttheil, the chile immovably be but he has cholce upor and mor deter be God is the with the personal soul is to be istries, that growth in man So to Government Restrictions Make Burden.

ROM twenty to fifty a man should for himself and his family; fifty to one hundred for science and Be imanity, and after a hun dred for the state Honored, useful, in full possession of all his faculties at sixscore years and ten, Phe grayheard of the ap proaching future will be among the most enviable of mankind For the fear of death is an aberration. The fact is that only one man in a million at present dies a natural death. We should live till one hundred and forty years of age. A man who expires at seventy or eighty is the ei of accident, cut off in the flower of his days, and he ay resents being deprived of the fifty years or so which nature owes him Leave him a little longer and in due time he will desire to die, as a child at dusk desires to sleep. The sandman will pags! All our instincts drop from us one by one. The child eries for mother’s milk: the idea of such an aliment is repugnant to the adult. The desire for sweets, for play, for love and love-making, for long walks and adventures are all impuiees that have their day and pass And the wish to live ig an instinct which fails also to satisfy. Only at present none of us live long enough to be satiate with days. The Kite ar an Airship. Pv Alexander Graham Bell. iIAVE had the feeling that a properly constructed flying-machine ghould be capable of being flown as a Kite: and. conversely, that a properly constructed kite should be capable of nse as a flying machine when driven by its own propellers.
