When we see any person who is
honest and has the capacity for
hard work we may safely put it
down that they will accomplish
something in life that will be a
credit to themselves and helpful to
the world. No sine person works
just to benefit himself. lie works
to elevate not only himself, but
his neighbors. He is unselfish in
what he does because he wishes
others to advance with him.”—The
Home Journal.
When a printer sets a line of
type and carries the idea in his
head that if there arc any errors
they will be caught by the proof
reader he is wrong. It is because
errors will creep in, in spite of the
best of care that the proofreader is
needed to minimize them as far as
possible. The proofreader is not
supposed to be a catch all for every
kind of carelessness and incompe
tence. The compositor himself is
responsible for errors, because he is
the man who makes them; the
proofreader is not so responsible
because he fails to catch them all.
If any printer has anything to say
against this assertion, we will be
glad to open discussion for the good
of the printer himself,—Inland
Printer.
f QUESTION BOX
Answers to last week’s auestions.
(i) Name the Colleges of Colo
nial times , and state which of these
owed its existence to the patronage
of the home government.
(i) Harvard, William and Mary,
Yale, Princeton, King’s, Brown,
Queen’s Dartmouth, and Hampden
Sidney. William and Mary was
the only college which received a
donation from the English govern
ment taking its name from its
principal donors.
(a) Achilles pursues a tortoise;
he is ioo puces behind at first, but
runs ten times as fast; still when
he has gone a hundred paces the
tortoise lias gone ten, and while he
goes ten the tortoise goes one,
while he goes one the tortoise goes
one-tenth of one, and so forever;
the tortoise always being a tenth
of the last distance ahead, yet we
know that Achilles could soon over
take the tortoise, Where is the
fallacy?
(a) The fallacy lies in assuming
that Achilles takes a tenth of a
pace and a hundredth part of a
pace. He takes full paces, not
fractions. He takes 112 paces.
(3) Explain the rotary theory of
the formation of hail.
(3) Snowflakes, which form the
nuclei ot hail are supposed to whirl
around a horizontal axis, and be
tween two horizontal layers of
cloud—the upper one of snow, the
lower one of rain. As the particles
passthrough the successive strata
of snow and rain, alternate coat
ings of ice and snow are formed,
until at last they are hurled to the
ground as hail.
QUESTIONS FOR NEXT WEEK.
(1) What qualifications are nec
essary for a U. S. Senator?
(2) Why are insurrections more
liable to occur under our govern
ment than under a monarchy?
(3) Give examples of associated
sensations in which nerves are
excited by sight, hearing and
smell.

“Lest We Regret.”
(By Walt Mason)
The tumult and the shouting rise
from Europe’s red and harried
shore; the kings and captains, to
their eyes, are wading in a flood of
gore; so Dt’s talk peace, already
yet. lest we regret, lest we regret.
The nation’s honor we’ll defend
whenever their shall rise the need;
but to this country he’s no friend
who always wants to die and bleed ;
let’s flaunt no sword or bayonet,
lest we regret, lest we regret. The
Jingo fierce will never cease berat
ing people sale and sane, who’d
rather have the boon of peace than
see the landscape strewn with slain ;
let’s gently drown him in his sweat,
lest we,regret, lest we regret. Build
up the army, if you will, and make
the navy great and slrong; but
don’t confess a lust to kill, or talk
of bloodshed all day long; don’t
claim that war’s the one best bet,
lest we regret , lest we regret.
Don’t be too eager that our sons
shall seek the sodden fields of gore,
to furnish targets for the guns of
men they never saw before : don’t
whoop for death and dearth and
debt, lest we regret, lest we re
gret.
