THE SCRAtfTON TRIBUNE-THURSDAY MOttNTNO. AUGUST 16. 1894.' HAED TO UNDERSTAND. THE IRREPRESSIBLE BOY WHO IS ' FOUND EVERYWHERE. Be May Not De All That Oar Fancy Taints Him, but He Manages to Make Himself Felt in Whatever Position Be May Be Placed. The irrepressible boy is a character, and there are a good many of him. He is as omnipotent us he is voluminous. He bobs up tinuVr the most inconceivable circum Ktunces, and generally with a serenity that In provoking. You can't bottle him, nud It would be ivpruhensibie to kill him. You can kit down on him, but lie won't stay nit down on. Ho i a terror to his sister and his smut's lover; family secrets are not sacred iu his eyes; he shirks his own work, but is always ready to do another boy's, or, more particularly, a full grown man's work. Today lie is horribly matter of fact, to morrow lie may be mawkishly sentimeutal. Atone moment he startles you with the vigor of his loic, at tlio next he surprises you with the silliness of his deductions. Now he charms you with his iunato polite ness, anon he shocks you by a violation of the proprieties. Ho can look profoundly innocent when most surely guilty, and de vise an alibi with raro ingenuity. 1 do not believe that the boy invariably "foreshadows the man," or that "men are but children of a larger growth," ns Dry den expresses it. The Koody-goody boy may fio to ruin on the fast express, the bad boy may ennoble ids manhood; the smart boy may not rise above mediocrity, the dull boy may forjie straight to the f rout. When N. I. Willis whs a boy his mot her told him to write a letter to ids aunt. Upon visiting him an hour later she found that the words "Deer Ant" was all that he had ac complished. Surely he did not foreshadow the pleasing poet nud the brilliant jour nalist! ir.r.i:i'ni:ssiDi.i: boys. I think it w:is Lyman Hiecher who said: "1 admire boys iu (.lie roiinh. I like them rs 1 do oysters on the half shell." And so do I. 1 am ready to make allowance for natural depravity; it simply may be misdirected mult, just ns rudeness may bo Merely a surplusage of vitality. I have no patience with u mope. The repressible boy ' hardly ever rises. There isn't any tlastif. ity iu him; lie lacks pluck, energy, Ambition. Stubbornness is sometimes but another name for endurance. The irrepressible boy may become the Irrepressible man, uud if the impressibil ity is properly expended, he will accom plish a vast amount of good. If such men as Seward, 1'hiliips, Garrison and Fre mont were irrepressible boys, we are thankful that the fault, or the faculty, pivw with their growth. In my boyhood I believed in Pauta Claus and Jack and the D;anslalk. It was utter I hud reached manhood that I became cyn ical, incredulous and suspicious. Our inventory of a boy may not amount to much. There nre too many unknown quantities, too many undeveloped phases, too many umkimated possibilities. I have a friend who prides himself upon his knowledge of liumun nature. His intui tions never deceive him. Boys are his es pecial study; lie can read a boy like an open book. He can sum up his worth, forecast his failures, predict his successes. I mean to say that ho thinks he can. I had an amusing illustration of his power last summer. tlE COULD READ BOYS. "Those arc very good boys of Dar ringer's," my friend remarked to me one day. lie referred to a family who recently had moved into the neighborhood. "Do you think sof" I quietly asked, a quaver in my voice which escaped his notice. "Yes," he answered. "Two of them were here early this morning to ask per mission to pick berries in the clearing. I waH pleased with their frank ways and honest faces. They took oil their hats, in dulged in no slang uud looked squarely at me. I can tell a polite, honest, truthful boy the minute I st my eyes on him. Catch any boy raised around here asking for permission to pick berries! I'd think the millennium was about to dawn. They had only one small basket between tbem. 'Why didn't you bring a larger basket?' I asked. 'Oh, we only want enough for mamma to make a pie of,' they said. I tell you, they are honest, truthful, well raised boys." "Yes," I replied, scarcely able to repress iny emotion. "What time were they here this morning?" "As early as 5 o'clock." "And it. is about 5 in the afternoon now, Isn't it?" I nuked. "Yes." "Well," I said, "I came past your clear ing iifteen minutes ago. The two Darrin- ( ger boys came out of it with four large ' baskets filled with berries. 'Coys, you've had good luck,' I said. 'You can bet your bottom dollaron that,' one of them replied, 'we carried just ns many homo at dinner time.' 'Did you ask Mr. Bradford's per mission to pick berries?' I inquired. 'Yes,' was the reply. 'We pulled his leg for him. Yi'c hid all our baskets iu tho bushes but the two quart one. We shut up his eye most everlastingly.' "Well, those frank, truthful boys, who do not indulge in slang, and who look squarely at you, were twelve hours in your clearing, and got away with ut least two bushels of your berries. Of course you can tell an honest, truthful boy the minute you set your eyes on him!" My friend did not get vexed. lie ignored the sarcasm underlying iny speech. A sad look crept into bin eyes, and he muttered something about total depravity nnd the need of wider Christianizing influences. Frank H. Stauffer in Kate Field's Wash ington. Kxpenttlve Monuments. There is a monument erected in Torquay cemetery to the memory of Isaac Jlerritt Singer, of sewing machine fame, which cost $50,000. In Mortjake cemetery a monu ment in the shape of an eastern tent, erected over the grave of Sir Richard Burton, the explorer, cost 1,000. In the cemetery near Abroath is a monument erected by Patrick Allen Fraser of Hospitalficld, in memory of his wife, which cost even more than that, erected over Singer's grave. It was the work of your" to build, and Mr. Fraser made several journeys to Home and Vcuico to examine the sculptures on fa mous tombs. He was an artist, and the whole of his plans, drawings, etc., were executed by himself. London Tit-Bits, Tired Eyes and Insomnia "Among other evil results from abuse ot the eyesight," said a medical expert in the treatment of eye and ear, "is tho fact that to it may be attributed the rcat increase in recent years of the much dreaded in somnia. From my experience with the " kur.'lreds of cases of eye affections I am satisfied that three-quarters of the cases of sleeplessness come from nervousness di rectly traceable to undue strain upon the optic nerve. In these days of unceasing work the eyes are not given the rest to which they are entitled. Clerks, lawyers and professional men generally are con tinuously poring over books and papers, and the result is apparent not only In the actual Injury to the eyo itself, but in the retroactive effect upon the nerve and brain. Even the amusements and recreations in which they indulge after the day's work are of a character to be a still further strain upon the eye. "Insomnia In women comes largely from too much work with the needle or pro tracted occupation in some clerical posl- tion. There U a simple remedy tor sleep lessness, which by Its nu tailing success proves that the trouble largely comes from the overstrain of the eyes. If the sufferer will take a small piece of toweling or other soft cloth and fold In It two small bits of ice, and then lie down and adjust the cloth so that the ice will exactly cover the closed eyes, he will shortly And himself droppiug off into a refreshing sleep. This, of course, is only a temporary relief, but the insom nia victim can readily cure himself by shielding his eyes from overmuch strain." New York Telegram. Bow the Autocrat Troposed. It was on the Common that we were walking. The mall or boulevard of our Common, you know, has various branches leading from it In different directions. One of these runs down from opposite Joy street southward across tho whole length of the Common to Boylston street. We called it the long path and were fond of it. I felt very weak indeed (though of a tolerably robust habit) us we came oppo site tho head of this path on that morning. I think I tried to speak twice without mak ing myself distinctly audible. At last I got out tho question, "Will you tako the long path with me?" "Certainly," said the schoolmistress, "with much pleas ure." "Think," 1 said, "before you an swer. If you take the long path with me uow, I shall interpret it that we are to part no more." Tho schoolmistress stepped back with a sudden movement, as if an arrow had struck her. One of the granite blocks used as seats was hard by, the one yon may still see close by the gingko tree. "Pray sit down," I said. "No, no," she answered softly. "I will walk the long path with you." The old gentleman who siU opposite met us walking arm in arm about t he mid dle of the long puth, nnd said very charm ingly, "Good morning, my dears," Oliver Wendell Holmes. Musical Car Whistles. To the average New Yorker who finds himself in Brooklyn in the course of the open car Reason tho most remarkable feature of the occasion, is the solos per formed by the conductors when they start and stop the aforeeuld cars. They are not satisllud with the "toot" to stop and the "toot-toot" to go ahead that their New York brethren use, but run iu bewildering combinations of "tootle-tootle-ti-too" and "whoopety-whoop" that mukes a stranger's brain reel. Some have a double whistle and some bosst whistles with three pipes. These gentlemen penetrate the air with bird notes and gurgling trills, and when a dozen cars of as many lines get bunched together at the bridge or Fulton ferry the resemblance to a rehearsal of a brass band on Saturday night is startling. I asked a conspicuous performer on the pipes the reason for his outbursts, and he replied: "It's de kids, see? If we use 'er plain whistle doy gets onto us, see? 'En dey make de driver keep astoppin' all day, see?" New York Herald. Disease Curried by Files. Any one who has been iu Egypt will have hud an object lesson on the propaga tion of diseaso by files. The many victims of ophthalmia to be soeo there usually have their open sores covered by swarms of flies, which makes the prsaeuce and obtrusive ness everywhere In that country of this In sect pest doubly abhorrent, from the possi bilities of contagion by contact with them. The prevalence of ophthulmia in Egypt is attributed specially to these swarms . of flies, which convey infection from affected subjects to those unaffected. Iu our own country there is no specific malady which may be thus mainly attrib utable to the germ currying action of Hies, but it is quite possible that many cases, where the sources of infection cannot be traced, may have hud their origin in the presence of files unwittingly admitted from tainted places. Brooklyn Eugle. What a Tm volar Saw la America. A German scribe relates that during a visit to America he saw three journals printed on sugar cakes flattened out. Rolled chewing tobacco formed the sheet on which two other journalists recorded the news of the day. Five offices utilized fly papers, and the genius of seven editors was displayed upon pocket handkerchiefs. The climax of astonishment was readied when the Teuton purchased a nowspuper formed of a porous plnsterl He went on to relate that three publishers defy competi tion by having their subscribers photo graphed yearly, several give their sub scribers free burial, five invite them to a dinner once a month, and 200 provide them with medical advice! Loudon Tit-Bits. Vulgar Wealth. On a Pullman coach, on iny way to Mar quette, on tho Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic railroad, a colored porter asked me if I know a certain other passenger. I did not. "Wall," said the porter, "he has just given me a five dollar bill, and said ho did it 'for a starter.' Dat feller is jist reek ing with money, for sure." A man who will give a porter five dollars for a starter where others expect to satisfy him with twenty-five cents is a vulgar fellow, no matter what his wealth or position may be.

DIC Chollet. WHAT IT WAS. A Traveling Mao Discovers That Be Bni Slept with Staue Company. A gentleman who traveled in the rural districts of the west some years ago says that to this day he has a "creeping sensa tion" when he recalls Ids experience in spending the night at a farm house. It was lato in the summer, and the farmers were doing their threshing, while their wives were emptying their ticks and refill ing them with clenii straw. Just before dark the traveler reached a comfortable looking house, where a hearty welcome was accorded him when he asked If. he might stay all night. While eating J 1m AaC 1,-M ! ' Ui.:l h his supper he heard the farmer's wife say to her husband and son: "The straw tick from the spare room bed will have to be filled. I emptied it to day and forgot all about it until this min ute." When the tired guest was shown to his room he undressed hastily and climbed into bed. Every movemont of his body caused the straw to rustle under him, and pretty soon he discovered that It rustled even when he was lying perfectly still. He was of a nervous temperament, and the strange noise disturbed him. It was only occasional. lie would be still for a moment, and then the straw would rustle loudly. He fancied t.at he felt something moving under him. The rustling grew more frequent, and he won dered what caused it. . It might be a rat! He sat up in bed. At once the rustling became more violent than ever, nnd he dis tinctly felt movements under him. Ho jumped from his bed, lighted his candle and looked nt the straw tick. All was still now. "I guess it's nothing but grasshoppers or crickets," ho said. "I'm not going to bo cheated out of my rest by some harmless insect." He got back into bed, but pnssed a rest less, wearisome night, hearing the rustling sounds frequently. The next moruing he said to his host: "I beg your pardon, but I think that a mouse or some small animal was In the straw you put into the tick on my bed last night 1 heard and felt something rustling around constantly." "Wo must seo nbout It," said the man. "nenry you pitch the tick out on the grass and empty out the straw. Liko as not some of them plaguy Held mice got into it. It wns so dark wc couldn't have seen it if it had been a ground hog." A few minutes later Henry nppearcd at an open window wilh a black snake fully four feet long daugling from the end of a stick. "There yon air," ho said laconically. "That's all It was. He was turrible mad, and come nt me tho minute I let him out. But 1 tromped the life out of him in no time." "And 1 slept all night with that thing in my bedl" gasped the stranger, shuddering from head to foot. "Shucks!" said the farmer; "he wouldn't 'a' hurt you none if he had bit you. Them kind of snakes ain't pizen." Youth's Com panion. A Word for the Earthworm. The earthworm is an animal which has not received that attention from zoologists which It deserves, in spite of the fact that its habits and structure formed the last of that magnificent series of volumes with which Darwin enriched scientific literature. And it has not only been neglected by nat uralists, but has incurred the bitter enmity of gardeners and farmers. It is true that the gardener has t vtue reason for his dis like wheu he sees his carefully rolled walks and smooth lawns rendered unsightly by the heaps of earth with which the worm diligently covers them. But the farmer has no business to com plain, for not only do earthworms form a large part of the food of mnuy birds, which would, perhaps, in their absence direct their attention more closely to his crops and fruit trees, but they are of positive ad vantage in loosening the soil, and so mak ing passages for tho rain to trickle down to the lowest roots. More than a hundred years ago Gilbert bite devoted one of his letters to the sub ject of earthworms, and defended them from the accusation of uselessness and in juriousness in the economy of nature, re marking further, and so to a certain ex tent anticipating Darwin, that they are often responsible for the formation of new soils. F. L. Beddard, M. A., in Chambers' Journal. Fishes That Carry liattcrles. The "torpedo" or "cramp fish" has two complete electric batteries on either side of its head, constructed after the most ap proved scieutilic principles. Kach of them consists of about 470 cells In the shape of six sided tubes placed side by side. The walls of these cells are lined with nerve tissue und each one is filled with a clear, trembling jelly. Precisely how many volts this duplex galvanic apparatus is capable of administering bus never been deter mined, but frequent experience has shown tho power to be sufficient to knock down and temporarily paralyze a man. Natives in Central America are said to make a practice of driving wild horses into water where cramp fish are in order that the latter may stun the frightened quad rupeds and make them easy to capture. So that a shock shall bo administered, the ob ject must be brought iuto contact at two points wilh the torpedo, thus completing the electric circuit. Scientific men regard this as oue of tho most interesting of natural phenomena. iwo other kinds of animals possess gal vanic batteries a catfish and an eel. The two latter have the styrago cells situated in their tails. In all three cases the elec tricity is merely transformed nervous en ergy. Interview in Washington Star. Marvelous Fecundity.
