Whatever the object may be and whatever the line of business into whioirJhe young idea is destined to shoot, the trainer looks about him for a pupfl. Seven or eight appears to be the age which all agree upon as the moat suitable for commencement. The trainer does not seek for special points of natural aptitude in making Lis choice of an embryo athlete. Any youth of the appropriate age, provided he be free from bodily ailment or de­ formity, is regarded as capable of being developed into a Leotard, Blondin or Orimaidi If two boys, equal in other respects, were to present themselves as candidates, the smaller or better look­ ing of the twain might receive prefer­ ence; but no healthy boy is regarded as absolutely unfit for the work. The first and chief aim of the trainer is to work up the muscular strength of lus subject to as high a pitch as possible. He feeds the boy on abund­ ant and nourishing diet, and teaches him to be temperate in all things. The boy is made to take long walks, cold baths, to use the dumb-bells and go through invigorating exercises in an ordinary gymnasium of ladders, ropes and bars, such as a schoolboy might enjoy himself with. This treatment is pursued for two or three months before difficult feats are attempted, and the boy is usually encouraged to undertake the latter by judicious praise and promise of rewards, and by the example of his tutor. Several of the little fellows usually train together, and are stimulated also to attempt dangerous feats by the spirit of rivalry that exists among them. They measure their progress inch by incn, day by day, and each is eager to proclaim his record the best. By the time the pupil reaches the age of 12 or 13 years, and before the term of his apprenticeship shall have expired, the trainer often finds it neces­ sary to pay him a salary, otherwise he may run away and join a performing troupe under an assumed name. When , the legal term of apprenticeship is up, in case- the boy be not united to the trainer by ties of blood, a regular legal engagement is usually entered into. It is usually a copartnership agreement or a contract for a term of years, or the fledgling may start on his own account, and Prof. So-and-so falls back on his reserve stock of 'sons,'who, to the pub­ lic, never grow any older. Although most likely accustomed to exhibit in one line of business only, the boy will by this time have learned many other feats for himself, through being con­ stantly brought into contact with other specialists and having opportunities of using their apparatusvon his travels; in after life therefore, he may adopt an entirely different branch from that -in which he was educated, according to the demands of the market. Once thoroughly grounded in the alphabet of his business--the forward-long-swings, backward-long-swings, and houghs-off of the gymnast, and the lion's leap, flip-flap, spread-eagle, somersaults, fore, back and hand-springs of the acrobat-- he may take up anything with a pros­ pect of success. Once embarked in the life of a gym­ nast few men turn to other occupations, and their labor is only ended by infirm­ ity or old age, except, as sometimes happens, an accident may cause sudden death. Many well-known acrobats have lived to perform difficult feats at the age of 70 years. Within the past few years there has been an extraor­ dinary demand for female gymnasts, and many athletic young women have appeared in public. Although, as a rule, inferior performers, they com­ mand very high salaries, beeause they draw good houses. All manner of devices are introduced to impart a spice of novelty to old tricks in every department. Acrobats juggle with balls, knives, hoops, fans, bells and burning torches while tum­ bling, or throw somersaults while play­ ing the violin or tambourine, or mount themselves on roller skates and bi­ cycles. Gymnasts are "fired" from spring-boards concealed within a gi­ gantic cannon, let off pistols in their flight through the air, or go through their evolutions amid a blaze of squibs and rockets. The various "lines" of business, too, while more numerous and diversified, are not so distinct and separate as they used to be. Trapeze, flying rings and horizontal bar work are now combined; poles and ladders still hold their ground, but tight-rope and slack-wire walking, feats more easily acquired than any others, bottle per­ formers, ceiling steppers, pedestal acro­ bats and modern Samsons are a drug in the market. Inquiry among physicians and others who have the best means of knowing the facts, goes to show that the phys­ ical education and training of boys for the acrobatic profession is at present conducted with the greatest care and skill and is not unhealthful. PITH AN!) iroihiT. > Niyli put a bib on a child with a It will be sore to go ft $ Paid in His Own Coin. Oath tells a good story concerning a New York millionaire who owns a big stock-farm in New Jersey. He has put in force strict rules about the admit­ tance of curiosity-seekers, and if one happens to get in he is soon hustled off. One day a neighboring farmer called on business. He had never been on the place before, and entering at a gate he round open was strolling around look­ ing for the Superintendent, when the owner, who happened to be there, en­ countered him. Supposing him to be merely an idler or prying person, he asked him what he was doing there. The farmer, taken aback by such an ad­ dress, replied: "Nothing." The owner said: "Do you know at which gate yon came in?" "I do," said the farmer. "Well, then," said the owner, "get out there as soon as you can;" and the farmer walked out. Shortly after the Superintendent eame up and inquired if neighbor so-and-so had been there. He was the only one anywhere about who had timber they wanted very much, and they wanted it immediately. He had promised to come that morning to see about the sale of it, "Well," said the owner of the farm: "I shouldn't wonder if I had just sent him off with a flea in his ear. I found u man strolling about here, and supposing him to be one of these stragglers 1 cleared him out. Where does he livi 'i I -will drive over and see him." Off ae started at once. Beaching the farm-house he drove in, and seeing him began an apology, MwuoBt short by IN tanner, who I remember so well the first time I ever solemnly and forever left the plat­ form. It was on the 11th or 12th of May, at Antwerp, Ohio. The weather was warm. The hard-backed bogs and the big blundering beetles that fly by night were abundant and offensive. The open windows of the hall gave the boys on the street, as they patrolled their noisy beats, abundant opportunity to chaff the lecturer, whose gigantic form they could plainly see, but whose elo­ quent remarks they could but dimly hear, and illy comprehend. As a general thing I have observed that when the lecturer on the platform, and the boys in the street are address­ ing one audience at the same time, the audience appears to be most profound­ ly interested in the remarks of the boys. I thought, and I still think, it is very foolish for an audience to pay 50 sents a head to hear me, and then sit and listen to the boys, whom they might have heard for nothing. But that is the way an audience has, any­ how. So, that night, I did not care for the boys. I would not permit the tithing man to go out and entreat the boys roughly and compel them to "shut up their heads," as he wished to do, not even when they mocked me, and in shrill falsetto entreated me to "give them a rest," assurirg me they "heard enough of that,"andbesought me, with illy dissembled concern, not to "bite off more than I could chaw." I only smiled pleasantly and said, "Nay, hinder them not. Let them shout. I was once a boy myself." And I smiled again and the tears stood in my eyes. But inwardly I was a ravening wolf, with a brass collar and two rows of spikes. On my way to the hotel I overtook a boy who was still yelling and howling at me, for he wot not that the lecture was over. And my anger got fierce and I got hold upon him, and smote him sore, and encompassed him round with a piece of barrel-hoop, and necked: him, insomuch that he wept bitterly, and was sore astonished, and awore that he would make full report of these things unto the mother that bore him, yea, even unto his big brother, and to the father of his loins. But I heeded him not, neither was I moved with compassion nor yet stricken with fear, for I wist that his mother lived away on the other side of the river, and his big brother was not and never had been, and his father was a night watchman, and therefore, at that time of night sound asleep in some secluded doorway. Moreover, I was going away on the 4 a. m. train. Where­ fore, I smote him once again, and said: "If it be that another lecturer cometh this way, will it seem littin' unto thee to sit on the curbstone and make merry with thy friends, even while he speaketh words unto the multitude?" And he lifted up his voice, and wept bitterly, and swore unto *me, saying: "As my sole liveth, hope I may die if I do." And I let up on him. And it was so that when he •was gone away, as it might be a bow shot, that he called aloud, and wagged his tongue against me, and mocked me and called "Smarty" and cast stones after me, and followed me even unto the inn, and dared me half way, and reviled me because I would not, saying: "Ho! Fraid cat! Fraid cat!" And I sought to slay him, but could not, for he was marvelous swift of foot, and he was like unto the children of Benjamin, and "could sling stones at a hair breadth, and not miss."--J*. J. Burdette. A North Carolina Nuppir, J "Will you have supper at Company's Shops?" ashed the conductor as the afternoon waned and Greensboro was still far distant, and as I hositated he added: "You'll get a good one." We accepted the proposal, and were glad thereof afterward, for we had at that railroad station the cleanest, best cooked, best served and altogether best meal I had seen at a Southern hotel or station since the war. Southerners and Northerners who knew the South before the war know that the race of good cooks and good table servants of the old time has in a large measure disappeared. I am not sure but that Northern cooking has de­ generated in equal proportion. But I suspect that the abolition of the ancient distinction between field servants and house servants, which has been a result of emancipation, has produced among the colored race a scarcity of educated servants. Leu us return to our mutton. It was a delicious mutton chop, well cooked and well served, that made the central part of the supper at Company's ShopB. No one who knows mutton need com­ plain of North Carolina mutton. There was bread, white, light and fresh, bread golden and equally light of sweet corn meal, there were sweet potatoes of ravishing quality and an omelette un­ impeachable; there was broiled shiad, broiled, not fried, as mostly elsewhere; there was--why should I linger over it, except that it was the first meal I have eaten down South for many years which reminded me of those glorious Virginia meals of the old time, and this, perhaps, specially because of a dish of fried chicken--an ancient gloify of Southern tables. I remember a challenge once given me by one of the most eminent Southern statesmen of the days before the war, to match, if I could, a dish of chicken fried by his cook. "And," said he, "whatever you can do at the North, I assert with con­ fidence that there never was a cook born or made north of Virginia who could fry chicken." Why don't some benevolent man es­ tablish a free school for teaching the colored woman of the South how to be such a cook as her mother and grand­ mother were? Let one thing be said. Coffee everywhere down South is better made than at the t>e8t Northern hotels. Good coffee is unknown in Northern travel.--Mr. Prime, in New York Journal of Commerce.

Then Boston was the best platform in the country from which, to speak of education.

"Doctor, What is the occasion of this new interest in health questions:" - "It has come through eufferinp, which see ins the only road t > self-knowledge The Stomach, heart, kidneys or liver fall into trouble, happiness is gone, and then people give attention to their health." '•Which of these organs is most frequently the victim of our errors" asked the re­ porter. "Within the last few years diseases of the kidneys bave greatly multiplied.

"Doctor, have you any confidence in the remedy of which we hear eo much now a days, 'Warner's Safe Cure?" believe in the ounce of prevention, rather than a ton of cure" "But have you noticed the remarkable testimonials of Warner's remedy?" "I have, and confess that they bave pus- sled and astonished me The commenda­ tions of proprietary medicines usually come fiom unknown persons residing in back counties But I see in our most reputable newspapers the warmest praise of Warner's Safe Cure from College Professors, re spect­ able physicians, and other persons of high intelligence and character.

It is gratifying to know that the life-long experiences of a gentleman who stands without a peer in successfully demon­ strating the piincinles of hygiene; whose heart has always been in sympathy with tho afflicted, and whose brain has ever bsen active in planning for their relief, are to be given to the public through the pages of a magazine.

A Great Inscription Bock. A few miles east of Zuni, N. M., is a quadrangular mass of white sandstone, known as Inscription Bock, which has attracted much attention. It is nearly a mile in length, and more than 200 feet in height. Upon its weather-beaten surface are numerous inscriptions in Spanish, cut by persons who have passed that way, some of them deeply and beautifully engraved, and dated as far back as 1606. Upon the top of the rocks are the ruins of two pueblos the size and shape of which can be dis­ tinctly traced, and many pieces of painted pottery are lying about. The inscriptions often contain short his­ tories of the object of the visits of those by whom they were engraved; either explorers of the country, Spanish soldiers on the march to the conquest, or early Franciscan friars, penetrating the wilderness to convert the native heathen to the living God. What a field for sober reflection and poetic romance this rock presents to the mind with its inscriptions and its ruined villages.
