Prof. Thayer tolls of a Yalo grad uato who, after wandering far and long In skepticism and regaining his spritual equipoise, confessed that "there was ono thing which, all through, ho could never quito got away from, and that was Pres ident Woolsoy's prayers." This three-fold repetition, "I will instruct theo," "I will teach thee," "I will guido thee," reveals tho three properties of a good teacher. (1) to make tho pupils understand tho way to nalvatlon; (2) to go before them; (3) to watch over them and their ways. Old Writer. At Oxford, In England, it is an nounced that women "who aro graduates of colleges included in tho Association of Collcgiato Alumniu, U. S.

I "Tho .Tapanoso aro equally ready to bollovo or disbollovo in God and a f uturo llfo," is tho opinion of a recent traveler in that country. "And which they will do doponds on tho question whether faith or Infidelity is most in nccordnnco with reason. Thoy are acute metaphy sicians, and havo tho most profound ro spect for logic. If they become Chris tians they will strip Christianity of a great many of Its traditional dogmas that seem to them to be irrational.

As long as a young man estimates a pretty face above Industrious hands, ho is not old enough, or has not senso enough, to marry.

If anybody gives you 111-languago rather pity him than be moved to auger. You will llnd that silence or verygontlo words aro tho very best revenge. Almost everybody In this world Is susceptible to llattory. The easiest way to Hatter some people is to remark to them how impervious to llattory thoy ro. Soiuorvlllo Journal. To bu content with what wo havo is tho real secret of happiness. The real needs of humanity arocomparatl vol y few; but the artificial and conventional aro illimitable and Insatiable.

Tho hardest thing Is to keop cheer ful under tho little stings that come from uncongenial surroundings, tho very instgulllcani'o of which adds to their power to annoy, because they can not bo wrestled with and overcome, ns In tho case of larger hurts. Once a Week. It Is u great scerot known to but few, yet of no small use in tho conduct of life, that when you fall Into a man's conversation tho llrst thing you should consider Is whether ho has a greater in clination to hear or that you should hear him. Steele. Languid, low-toned color or good ness never overcomes any thing. It must be positive, full of blood, radiant as an angel. Thou a man shall go out with a conception of goodness Into tho community, and wherever ho goes ho will carry conviction to evil, so far us conviction can bo produced at all. Tho most precious of all possessions Is tho powor over ourselves; power to withstand trial, to bear sutferlng, to front danger, power over pleasure and pain; jvower to follow our convictions, liowovor resisted by menace and scorn; tho power of calm rollauco In scenes of darkness and storm. Wo havo Innumerable advantages these days; at no ago of tho world wero thoro so many and of so good a kind. And yet It is moro dltllcult to live a thoroughly consistent llfo than at many periods of tho past.

Thero aro two general classes of magnets electromagnets nnd perma nent magnets. Tho oloctro-magnet i9 active only whon a current of elec tricity is p.vdng around it; tho jper manont magna!, t- its nnmo indicates, retains its magnetism aftor tho mag netizing agent is removed. Electro magnets tiro always made of soft iron.tf whilo permanent ones aro mado of steel. An electro-magnet can bo easily constructed ns follows: Procure from a blacksmith or from any source a small soft-iron horseshoe. Commencing just above tho heelcork on ono side, wind closely three or five layers of two inches' length of No. 22 insulated copper wire. Without cut ting tho wire, proceed spirally along tho too of the shoo, and thon wind tho same numbor of similar layers on tho other end. All tho windings must be In tho same direction in reference to the iron. If now tho ends of tho wire be connected with nn electric battery, quito largo pieces of soft iron for instance, largo nails or spikes will bo hold up by the heolcorks, which act ns polo pieces. As 60on as tho battery is disconnect ed tho spiko will fall. This, bowover, would not bo tho enso if tho horseshoe was made of steel, for it would then, because of tho passage of tho electric current, have become a permanent mngnot. To puss an electric curront around a piece of steel is, indeed, the easiest way of making a porumnent mngnot. To try it, wind several layers of the same wiro used on tho horseshoe around a leud-poncil. Thon carefully removo tho lead-pencil, and insert in tho hollow coil left a common darning needle, the bend of which has beon broken otT, leaving about an inch of length. Puss tho current from tho battery through tho coil for a minuto, discon nect and remove tho needle, and it will be found to bo magnetized.

"Tho women havo a new use for vaseline," obsorved a drug clerk as he jerked his thumb over his right shoul dor in tho direction of a well-drossod lady who was leaving tho store aftor having mado a purch.iso of tho petro leum compound. "What's that?" "Thoy aro using it on their shoes now." "On their shoes?" "Yes, and tho Indies must bo given credit for having mado a valuablo dis covery. Tho ingredients have a won derful olTcct on lino leather, and it is fast taking tho plnco of all tho com pounds manufactured for softening the shoes. Take a pair of shoes that have becomo stiff and uncomfortable by con stant wear in tho rain nnd apply a coat of vnselino, rubbing it in well with a cloth, and in a short time tho lenther becomes as soft and pliable as when it is taken from tho shelves of tho shoe dealer. Yes, indeed, this rainy weathor has caused quito a boom in tho vase lino trade." Washington Post. To Get Rid of Suckers. J. W. Clark, of tho Missouri Agri cultural Collogo, says: "Tho reason why sprouts or suckers grow at tho base of the trunks of apple trees is that at tho base of tho treo, tho collar, as it is callod, just boneath tho surfaco of tho ground, adventitious buds are formed from which tho suck ers, or sprouts grow. If thoso aro out close to tho ground, tho stubs loft be neath tho surfaco will sond up sovoral sprouts in place of tho ono cut away, so that whoro tho suckors aro simply romoved onco during tho season, in stead of helping tho enso it is mado worso. Cutting soveral times during tho growing season will, if continued, destroy them; a bottor way is to re move the earth from the collar aud roots near tho trunk, to n depth of six or eight inches, and cut till shoots off closo to tho trunk from which they start, taking euro not to loavo a short stub, or new shoots will start from it. If tho shoots can bo pulled oil, the work will prove fully as effective. Roplaco tho earth about tho treo again after tho suckors have all beon ro moved." Is the Sun Inhabited? Sir David Brow stor makes the fol lowing romurks relative to tho sunt So strong has been tho bollof that the sun can not bo a habitable world, that a scientific gontlomnn was pronounced by his medical nttondnnt insimo be cause ho had sent a paper to tho Hoyal Socioty, in which he maintained that tho light of tho sun proceeded from a dense and unlvorsnl aura, which may afford nmplo light to tho inhabitants boneath, and yet be nt such a distanco aloft as not to bo among thorn; that thoro may bo watoranddry land there, hills nnd dales, rain and fair weather, and that as tho light and tho seasons must bo oternnl, the sun may easily ba conceived to be by far tho most blUa ful habitation of tho whole system. In less than ton years aftor this apparent ly extravagant notion was considered as a proof of insanity, it was main tained by Sir William Herschol, as a rational and probable opinion, which might bo deduciblo from his own ob servations on tho structure of tho sun.
