Dana, of Tale College, a man who has received higher honors from European scientific societies than **y geologist now living in the United States, says of the first chapter of Genesis: "Examining it as a geologist. 1 And It to be in perfect accord with known science; therefore, as a Chris­ tian, I assert that the Bible narrative ami be inspired." The art of short hand Is. ft appears, (• he superseded by one of the- queerest Inventions on record. The revolution is to be e fleeted by mean; of a machine called auglo?so£rapli,"consistingof six Iswrs forming a sort of cage.each com- aaunlcatinj; with a tracing pencil. The •a* to be made of the "glossograpli" is rather curious. While the orator t>r lecturer Is holding forth, tiie reporter te to repeat the words of the speaker with his tongue in the cage. Thus the ^•richest conversation, some London Journals tell us, may be taken down with ease. The ludicrous aspect which this new Invention assumes may be an •betacle to Its adoption. **Golng along the streets of thfs great Imatllng city, the passer-by often sees In the windows of the business houses a placard with the Inscription, "Boy Wanted," and a1? there are thousands of toys who want places, and will make application for them we'll tell them in advance, for nothing, just the kind of a hejr that Is "wanted." g The boy that is "wanted" must be tetlve. Intelligent, cleanly in his habits, fihi to learn, obedient, truthful, and, above all, he must be honest. Honesty Is the pearl of great price in a boy, as ftls in a man. and no boy is "wanted" anywhere outside of the penitentiary •r State reform school who is destitute •# this essential qualification. The honest boy is certain to come to the front, and the dishonest boy is just as Mire to take a back seat and keep it through life. The boy is not "wanted" In any establishment who will take a cehtofhis employer's money, for the hoy who steals a cent will by-and-by •teal a dollar, and after that a hundred Md a thousand dollars.--Journal. pj| Th© Farmer's Friend .Published at South Bend.
