Hoys and girla, another week has
rolled by since "Uncle Willlum" begun
his weekly talks to joii and you am ono
week nearer tho goal of either success
or failure; which Is It to lie? Shakes
peare says, "Every man Is the architect
of his own fortune," and this saying ap
plies to you each and every ono. In
your hands rests the power to form a
solid foundation and erect a substantial
educational structure. I am afraid that
many of you do not do your duty rela
tive to "home study." There seems to
be too much attraction "down street"
in the evenings. We are grieved to sou
this for we well know that the time
will surely come when you will bitterly
regret the valuable hours you have thus
lost. Hut then it will be too late; they
have passed into oblivion, and "time
once lost can never bo regained," no
matter how bard you may work.
"Begin well If you would end well" Is a
good motto to adopt. Remember, boys
and girls, that "two and one-half hours
spent in study each evening will pre
pare your lessons for the following day
and fit you for the struggles of after
life, making of you noble men and
women who will be ornaments to so
ciety, " while on tho contrary, two und
one-half hours each evening spent
promenading the streets or lounging
about the stores will blunt your mental
faculties and fill your mind with gossip
and street slang and fit you In after life
for positions of drudgery, crime and
misery. The educated boy or girl is
the ono who has entree to tho best so
ciety and . whose companionship is
sought after, while on the other hand
tho ones who grow up In Ignorance,
neglecting the golden opiMirtunttles
given thorn, are shunned and avoided
.. by their follows. God pity then. They
grow up In ignorance, are schooled In
crime and our prisons are tholr hablu
tlon in tho end, where they can sit and
mourn over a misspent life and lost op
portunities: and a wall roes up all over
our broad land: Lost! Lost! Lost! Think
of these sayings, my boys and girls, and
decido which of the two classes you will
' enter. Now Is the time you must map
out your future. Now is the time you
form habits for lifo, bo they good or
bad, and don't forgot that It Is ton times
more difficult to break a bad habit than
It U to form one. Again, don't be Indo
lent and assume a lounging position
when studying or reciting, or be always
fuming and fretting about the seeming'
ly long hours of school work. Be ener
getic and study diligently and you will
be surprised to see how quickly the
time slips around. You can't expect to
accomplish anything without an effort.
"If you covet learning's prize.
Climb utir height sua bike It."
Our Uvea are what we make
them, therefore, watch carefully every
point. We hear some of our boys and
girls sometimes saying that they "don't
like this or that study." There may be
studies that you don't like just as well
as some others, but they are in the
i course and It Is necessary to take them
with the rest in order to be complete,
When you are ill and under the care
of a physician you take without a mur
mer the bitter medicines he prescribes
for you, and why? Because you rely
. upon his skill and knowledge of your
ailment and know that is necessary for
your own good to do so. Just so with
your studies. Each one of them is
Decennary in order to properly develop
your mental faculties and fit you for
sphere of usefulness, and when they are
assigned by your teachers you should
accept, them cheerfully, relying upon
the knowledge) and skill of your teacher
just as readily as you do that of your
Iihyslclun. Ua self-reliant. Don't al
ow a day to pass without having
learned something new.

picked np a pen in a diffident maimer.
The clerk wheeled the book around so
that the place for signatures was ia ths
proper position and waited. She obewed
nervously at the end of the pen, then
dipped it slowly in the ink, and with a
great deal of pains wrotei
"Miss Mary MoClosky, 87 West

Then she eyed bee effort approvingly
and carefully laid the pen down. The

"Rpom, miss?"
A flash mantled her face, but she
said sweetly, "Tea, if yon please. "
"Would yon like a room with a bath?"
asked the clerk in pussled tone.
Agaiu she seemed embarrassed and hesi
tated, bnt finally said in a low tone:
" Yes, if yon please. That would bs
very nice and I would thank you very
much. "
"How much do yon eare to pay for a
room?" said the clerk as his eye swept
the rack.
"Fay?" she said in sheer surprise.
"Pay? Why, I didn't expect to pay any
thing. I got a job here today as a cham
bermaid and I have just come down. "

with spades aud rakes, and pails aud

CUBE ROOT MADE EASY.
Dow Aajr Bright itholar Slav Laarn ta
Tall It Offhand.
To find the cube root of any given
umber of figures offhand seems en al
most impossible feat, but yet it is sim
ple enough when one knows how to do
it so simple, indeed, that any bright ..
boy can learn to do it in a few weeks.
First he must know exactly what a
tube Is namely, that It is the result
of multiplying one number by itself
and then multiplying the product by the
original number. Thus, 8 multiplied
by 8 equals 9, aud 9 multiplied by 8,
tho origii a! number, produces 27, which
consequently is the cube of 8. The cube
root of 87 is the original number, 8,
and to find the cube root Is the reverse
of finding the cube. The would be adept
at this art should first study carefully
the following figures:
lxlxi- I txrxfr I Ixuxa-n
x4xt- M txAx6l!o exex2i
TX7X7-D48 8x8X8-41? SXSXft-MS
A close study of these figures shows
that 8 multiplied in this mnnuer by it
self results in 8, that 8 multiplied by
itself has 3 as a final floure, that 8 mul
tiplied by itself has 7 as a final figure,
that 7 multiplied by itself has 8 aa a
final figure, and that 4, 6, 6 and 9 mul
tiplied by themselves bavo their origi
nal figures ns finals. Hence the "artist"
knows that any sum given to him the
final figure of which is 8 must have 8
as a cube root that if the final fin tire
be 9, the cube root must be 9, and so
on.
For examplo, give him the figures
74,088, aud he can at once tell that 42
is the cube root, for the reason that 74
has 4 as a cubo root, as the cube of 4 is
64, while the cube of 6 ia 185, much
more than 74, and 088 has 9 ns a cube
root
Or give him a more difficult problem,
as, for example, the figures 8H4,3U. -
Then he will see at a glance that 824 ia
more than 218, Which is the oubo of 6,
but is less than 848, the cube of 7.
Therefore the cube root of these three
figures Is 0 In like manner the final
figure of 809 being 9, it follows that tl.e
cube root of these three figures is 9, and
thus the cube root of the six figures bss
been shown to be 89.
Any one can test this method for
himself, aud a little practice is all that
is needed to make one as deft in such
jugglery of figures aa the best "light-
mug calculator.
Of course skilled arithmetician
could easily frame problems that could
not be solved in this offhand fashion,
but such difficult tests are seldom offered
by publio audiences, and, as a rule, the
artists' are easily able to answer all
the questions asked of them. New

Professor Roterts-Austen's discov
eries on the subject of the interdiffusi
bility of metals is most interesting
reading. The facts have been to some
extent known to savants before the
meeting of the Royal society, at which
more public attention was drawn, but
on that occasion the results were made
more clear It was then shown that
olid metals may be made to mix them
selves as if the atoms were living crea
tares.
Professor Roberts-Austen has, lu fact
discovered pieces of metal eugaged in
the very act of mixing themselves m.
one with the other. Of course the inter
est of this is that the interdiffnsion
which we speak baa been found to take',
place when the metals were cold, and,
