Livingston High School held its ex¬
ercises on “Washington” last Friday
afternoon, Feb., 19th. The primary
department read compositions, which
proved that though they were not
making composition work a special¬
ty, they were being taught to think
for themselves, instead of copying
from a history. The second assistant
gave some interesting questions on
Washington. These questions were
asked by the children from that de¬
partment. The first assistant enter¬
tained the school with an entertain¬
ing play which these children showed
efficient training. The High School
department furnished the composition
•work for the occasion. It is appro¬
priate and right for the schools to lay
their work aside and honor a man who
has led us through the thickest of the
fight. If there ever was a man -who
had a purer, nobler character than
Washington, history fails to mention
it, an evidence of this fact is, he is
held up as a model to children, and
one hundred and ten years after his
death people still honor him. Whether
the cherry tree story is true or not,
we all know that his life proves that
he was an ideal boy, and is one worth
pattering after.
Advice to Young Men.
Remember, my son, you have to
work whether you handle a pick or
pen, a wheel-barrow or set of books,
dig ditches or edit a paper, ring an
auction bell or write funny things,
you must work. If you look around,
you will see the men who are the
most able to live the rest of their
days are the men who work the hard¬
est, don’t be afraid of killing yourself
with overwork. It is beyond our
power to do that on the sunny side of
thirty. They die sometimes, but it is
because they quit at 6 p. m., and
don’t get home’till 2 a. m. It’s the
interval that kills, my son. The work
gives you an appetite for your meals;
it lends solidly to your slumbers; it
gives you a perfect and grateful ap¬
preciation of a holiday. There are
young men who do not work, but the
world is not proud of them as old “So
and-So’s boys.” Nobody likes them;
the great, busy world doesn’t know
that they are there. So find out what
you want to be and do, and take off
your coat and make a dust in the
world. The busier you are the less
harm you will be apt to get into, the
sweeter will he your sleep, the bright¬
er and happier your holiday, and the
better satisfied the world will be with
you.—Ex.
Leguin.

A Putting Tip From St. Andrews.
A man on his first visit to St. An
drews was much impressed by the
high standard of efficiency which he
saw displayed on the greens by those
with whom he played. He studied the
actions of these heroes to see if he
could discover any common feature In
their methods. At last be saw light,
lie observed that they all hold the left
hand more under the club when put¬
ting than they did when driving.
From this he deduced a rule of con¬
duct—“see tlie finger nails of the left
baud when addressed to the ball.” For
the rest of his stay, and It may be for
some time afterward, his own putting
