Hoys and girls, half of the Beconil month of your present term In past; ha It been profitable to you ? have you Im proved It an you should ? are you like the one mentioned In the poetry above "haven't time" for anything useful ? If you are you make a sad mistake. You have time for your school duties, but 'you haven't timo for ball games, merry- ( go-rounds or any frivolous thing during school time. We like to see you play ing an enjoyable game of ball when It doesn't interfere with your school work, ' but don't allow these sports to super sede your studies, which are of far more consequence to you. Develop the mind as well as the musclos, and keep both In a healthy and well balanced condi tion and see how much better you will feel. Remember, boys and girls, that there will be plenty of ball games and other amusements long after you are through with school work, and that you can then enjoy them without inter- ' ferlng in any way with other duties. Think and reflect sorlously; you "haven't time," not one moment, to lose during your school days. If you could but realize the vast importance of close application, and the reward to be gained by it you would redouble your present effort. Keep your eye firmly fixed up on the goal to bo attained, viz: the day you will occupy the platform In Assem bly hall at commencement exercises and stand up a living monument of the success of your personal efforts, and how proud yourself and friends will eel when you receive your diploma, a fit ting emblem of your scholastic attain , ments. If you could but realize the thrill of joy that permeates the whole being of the professor and your teach- era when you have acquitted yourselves ' creditably, you would not begrudge the extra effort required to so do, but on the other hand would redouble your efforts to please. Let "harmony" be your watchword and heartily co-operate with your teacher in every particular nd "Success." will be emblazoned on every wall. Be cheerful; don't mope or grumble. The "wise man" tells us that "a merry heart doeth good like a medlolne, but a broken spirit drloth the bones." Be energetio; self help will be the making of you, as Heaven only helps those who help themselves. Read the lives of such self-made men as James Watt, Richard Arkwright, Robert Peel, Josiab Wedgwood, G. P. Bidder, " William Harvey, William Smith and hundreds of others who by 'simply help ing themselves and applying them' elves closely and vigorously were among the brightest planets in the scholastic firmament around which the lesser lights revolved. Don't get the idea Into your bead that you "know it all." A student of Trinity College who went up to bis professor to take leave of him because he had "finished" bis education was wisely rebuked by the professor's reply: "Indeed! I am ouly beginning mine." Be persevering; take a lesson from Timour the Tarter, who learned a lesson of perseverance under adversity from the spider that made sixty efforts to fasten its web to a beam. ' Study these well and pondor them deeply and profit thereby, and then you can proudly say when looking backward over your school life, "I did It myself." Don't be afraid of working too bard or learning too much. There 1 an old maxim often quoted that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," but all play and no work makes him something infinitely worse. Noth lng can be more hurtful to youth than to fritter away the best qualities of the mind. Common enjoyments become tasteless and the result is only averi'i . and disgust. Do not indulge in excesses. Host the mind by physical exercise and the muscle by mental exercise, and oompleto and perfect manhood and - womanhood will be the result, Thlukl Lufleotl Act!

Gem sculpture, or litboglyptios, is an art of great antiqnity, having been practiced by the Babylouians, the Egyp tians, the Hebrews and tbe Greeks. Afterward it sank into decadence, bnt in the fifteenth century was revived in Italy. It is an art that call for great eleganoe of taste and inuoh skill, for on a small stone, generally precious, do signs are represented either in raised work, as cameos, or by being cut below the snrfaoe, as intaglios To cameos the term "minute sculp ture" is indeed applicable, for since the days of Greek art celebrated statues have been copied in this way. The first intaglios were the scarabs, or beetle shaped signets, worn in rings by the Egyptians from a very remote period. One side of the stone was shaped like beetle, the other side was flat, and the name of the king or wearer was cut in to it A hole was then drilled in the stone from end to end, and through it a strong wire was passed to hold it in .position in a ring. The flat or seal aide was always worn next to the finger, bnt when used as a seal it was tamed. In the art of gem sculpture the Greeks excelled all predecessors. ' The Etruscans, contemporary with the Greeks, also attained excellence in gem cutting, and it is said that "on these early gems of Etrnscan or Greek origin may be read as in a book the forms of their religion and the subjects of popu lar interest in politics, song and fable for eeuturies. " Cnder Augustus gem aonlptnre flour ished among the Romans, many of them possessing cameos and intaglios of great value, and cabinets of costly genis-bo-came numerous. It is said tbat Cesar sent six cabinets of rare gem to the temple of Venus. There are many fine cameos and In taglios in the British museum. Among the finest of them accessible to the pub lio are the "Cupid and Goose" intaglio, the "Dying Amazon," the "Laughing Fawn," "Baoohns" on red jasper, and the "Julius Csesor" of Dioscnrides. In modern times gem sculpture has readied a high statn of perfection -and beauty. Philadelphia Times.

"Whatever difficulties we may have in forming a consistent idea of the coo stitutiso of the ether, there can be no donbt (hat tbe interplanetary and inter stellar spaces are not npty, but are oc cupied by a material sabstance or body Which is certainly tbe largest and prob ably rthe most uniform body of which we hove any knowledge. " Snch was tbe verdict prououncM soii.c- 20 years ago by James Cfciu Maxwell, one of the very greatest o! nineteenth century physicists, regain ing tbe existence ot an all pervading plenum in the universe in Which every particle of tangible mutter is immersed. An! this verdict may be said to express tne (attitude uf tbe i tire philosophic! would of our day. Without exception thetautaoritative physicists of our time accept this plenum as a verity and rea son about it with something of the same confidence they manifest in spesking of "ponderable" matter or of energy. It is true there are those among them wh are disposed to deny that Ibis all per vading plenum merits tbe name of en : ter, but . that it ia si something, ami a vastly important something at that, all are agreed. Without it, they allege, we sbonld know nothingcf light, of radiant neat, of electricity or magnetism. With out it there would probably be no each thins as gravitation nay, tbey even hint that without Shis strange aoaoe thing, ether, there would be no anr' thing as mntterin tbe onl verse. If the contentious of tbe modern physioistaie Justified, then this intangible ether '. incomparably the moat important as well sm the "largest and most uniform substance or body" in (tie universe. Its discovery may well be looked upon as tbe moat important feat of our oentuty. Henry Smith Williams, M. D.. in Harper's Magazine. Spollsd PImmum.

Imposing on thn tlcnlan. Aside from kid gloves, there is no article sold in connection with which merchants are so imposed upon by their "best" customers as umbrellas. Tbis is a tender theme. Tbe tempera of tbe wives of our best customers are not to be trifled with when it comes to re turning half worn gloves or umbrellas. With a dignity not attained on any otu T hemisphere in the habitable globe, be saila iuto the store of tbe merchant, lams dowu the battered relio that has cted as playhouse and tent for the chil dren of tbe neighborhood and demands a new umbrella for the "miserable apology gold her only three months ago." She declares it has ouly been used three times and only with tbe greatest can. Tbe merchant has to ac cept this as final, offem her tbe choice of his atoek, and she sallies forth with the six of a conqueror, conscious tbat she has triumphed. Then he pockets his loss and wonders what the next impost tioa will he, and people wonder why so many retail merchants fail or commit suicide. If an umbrella is properly made, of sjood material and decently used, 11 will wear for years. Hard What Trmlt Contains.

LONDON'S PAST PLEASURES. Bow Its Inhabitants Amnaed Themselves Centary or Two Ago. The Londoner in the long past might retire to Bagnigge Wells, near tbe pres ent King's Cross, or Florida gardens. Brompton (Brorapton was noted 100 years ago for its "salubrious air"), or the Mnrylcbone gardens and Bowling Green, mentioned by Popysns "a pretty pi uce" so long ago rs 1608, or the Bayswater Tea gardens, which flour ished till after the middle of the pres ent century, there to sit in " summer honse overgrown with honeysuckle and tweetLrirr, drinking tea, then held in much esteem as a fashionable beverage. and eating cheese - cakes, "heart cakes, " Chelsea bnus, syllabubs, Jellies, creams, hot loaves, rolls and bnttnr. while a band performed a concerto by Corel!! or the last new composition by Mr. Handel, "The Master of Musick," or a singer gave the last new song by Dr. Arue. Afterward his visitors might enjoy the privilege of drinking new milk from the cow and picking flowers and fruit, "fresh every hour in the day, " a grout attraction, doubtless, for Londoners at a period when fruit and flowers were neither so cheap nor so abundunt in the metropolis as tbey are at present Nor were more artificial amusements lacking. In addition to illuminations, fireworks and masquer ades, attended by the world of fashion from princes downward, there were miscellaneous eutertainmenta of every sort A high scaffolding was erected in Marylebone gardens in 1786 for a pred ecessor of Blondin called "the flying man," who was advertised to fly down oh a rope pushing a wheelbarrow before him. In May, 178S, Lunardi, the first aeronaut who went up in a balloon in England aud was quaintly called "the first aerial traveler in English atmos phere" by contemporary prints, de scended unexpectedly one afternoon in the Adam and Eve Tea gardens in the neighborhood of Tottenham Court road, then a resort of fashion, and waa up roariously welcomed by the populace in acknowledgment of his flight Later on aeronantio flights became a speciul feature of all these pleasure gardens. Pouds containing goldfish a novelty in the middle of tbe eighteenth century were reckoned as another of their special attractions and were advertit-ed as "gold and silver fish, which afford pleasing ideas to every spectator."
