THE BOY WHO IS LOOKIN! AHEAD. JFoundatlous for Future Greatnefs Laid In Boyhood Every To-Morrow Uves In Today Men who Have Achieved Distinction as Surgeons Journalists and Merchants Showed Their Tendencei When Boys. By Margaret E. Sangster. People have been telling you that yon must think of the future ever tnce you left the primary school. This advice forms the burdeu of platform speeches from school au perintendeuts and visiting friends, and very often boys hear it and for get it as soon as the woids are epoken. To look ahead is net natural to a boy, unless he is ambitious and has early made up his mind what he means to be when he reaches man hood. You know that yon have filenty to do at preseut, and your ife is full of interest about the things of today. To-mar row has not yet cast its spell over you. Id fact you sometimes fc.'l a good deal bored when you aie asked whether you in tend to be a doctor, a lawyer, a journalist, a farmer or a business man in the days that are to come. Yeu have not decided until you shall to older. It is not the easiest thing in the world for a boy to look very far ahead. Still, every boy has his thought ful moments. People are not as fair as thev should be to bovs. Un der the gay suiface the boy feels stirring within him desires and pur poses of which thoie around him of len hine not the faiutest suspici on. These desires and beginnings of purpose are occasional, and do not occupy lruch rt the foreground They are in the back of a boy's mind, and when the right time comes they influence him and make themselves Lit as factors in what he means to do and to be. Tennyson sounded a true note when he wrote a roem to the melo dy of "rollcv the U'eam. In bovhood, if ever, there should be the dawning of that inner sense which gives one visions of things unseen by the practical and hteral person who mu-t weigh and mtas ure everything in actual scales. '"Follow the Gleam," if it is not yet your motto, may be vour motto when you are in college, or later when vou have entered the busv world of men. Longfellow struck the same chord in his famous lyric, "Excelsior, which every schoolboy knows by heart. "The youth who bore through snow arm ice The banscr with the strange de vice," is as familiar to you as your next door neighbor. I wonder whether you do not want to belong to his company, to storm difficult heights as he did, and send down from some white peak the, ringing cry "Excelsior! Let me tell you that whether vou are ware of it, or whether it has never occurred to you, the boys who look ahead, who follow the gleam, who make Excelsior their watch word, are the boys who an to be iu the van to achieve distinction and win success. Every boy has in him the germ tf the man he is to be. The le iders 6et about making themselves great when they were boys at school. Na poleon as a student in the military school laid the foundation for his magnificent campaigns. Macauley in his insatiable reading and tire less ardor of study, prepared him self to be the future historian while he was yet a mere boy. Washing ton, Lincoln, Grant, McKinley, each in his degree was looking ahead dur ing the period of his preparation for life. Yon see it is with us very much as if we were travelers setting out on an unknown road. We can make ready, to a certain extent, for whatever we find on our jouruey, but we must take some chances; we can not tell what a day may bring forth. Every to-morrow lives in to-day. If we are clean, strong, conscien tious and resolute to-day, we need not fear anything that may come to us to morrow. The three periods, yes terday, to-day and tomorrow are all that time gives us, and they all af fect our destiny. When I saw a friend of mine, just past 15, taking care with tenderness and wisdom of a poor, forlorn that had broken its leg, when I no-! ticed the skill with which the leur i was set, aud the care ana pains that were bestowed on it, I said to my self, "Here is a future surgeon." I was right. Even then th boy hud begun to look aoead, and the pio fession that attracted him has no member more single-hearted and trust worthy. When I tee a boy willing to rise early aud sit up late that b work inay be well done for the cliwtnnxHii, when I see, too, a bent towarl ecieiice or tnathi matim 01 ii'eri'nnv I am (reity inr h in. tii a tuune crofe-eor or journalist is not fur from me.

When Wagner was at the height of his popularity he visited Vienna. Bar on rou Beust, thou chancellor of the empire, was Informed that the Prus sian party Intended to give him an Im mense serenade a serenade which would have the air of Uerinau protest against the tendency of the ministry to make the unlou of Hungary aud Aus tria more Intimate. The demonstration promised to arouse strong feeling. "Your excellency is warned," said the chancellor's advisers. "It Is impos sible to stop this manifestation unless Wagner goes away, and he loves ova tions too well. Nothing will Induce him to depart." "You think so," said Beust, with a smile. An hour later Wagner was Invited to dine with the chancellor. He was flat tered by the invitation and accepted It. After diuuer, at which Beust was de lightfully affable aud entertaining, the chancellor remarked: "Herr Wagner, are you interested in autographs? I have some very curious ones to show you." And he opened n portfolio where were letters of l'almerston, Bismarck, Napoleou III., Heine nud others. Suddenly turning to a paper, dated 1SJS, he said: "Ah, look at this.. It is very curious. What would your friend his highness the king of Bavaria say If this paper, which, would be signMlcant In connection with the political sere nade which the Genuaus are going to give you, should he published tomor row in the Vienna papers?" The composer examined the paper and recognized, with surprise, an old proclamation of one Kichard Wagner, who, an ardent revolutionist in 1S48, had proposed to the youth of that time to set tire to the palace of the king of Saxony. IIo saw his autograph and that It might ho the means of getting him Into serious trouble. "Very curious, U It not, Herr Wag ner?" said the minister. "Very curious, your excellency," re plied his guest. The next morning Richard Wagner left Vienna, recalled to Baireuth by urgent business. Strand Magazine. MAKING WAMPUM. 4 Proem That ncquirca Both Pa tience find Skill. With certain tribes wampum Is still highly prized and necklaces are worn by men, women and children when they are tht fortunate possessors of then. To make wampum various kinds of shell are used, white aud those having a lavender lino helng most 'ikci. The thiu shells nre broken into little pieces and by aid of nippers are made as nearly round as possible. When iaeh piece Is drilled In the center, the old time fire kindling style of drill be ing used, the shells are then strung and rolled with the hand on a flat stone, which grinds them until they are imooth and even. Comparatively few Indians among those who prize wampum beads most highly have the skill or patience to make them, even though they had the materials. The fact is there nre but few wampum bead makers In the coun try, and it often happens that long pil grimages must be made to secure the requisites for really fine beads, and, as with the white man's trinkets, that which is "far fetched and dear bought" Is most sought after for ornamentation. Around some of the ancient ruins In the southwest the little disks of wam pum are often found Iu the sand, and It Is probable that they were deposited In the graves In very early times and washed out or exposed by the wind's action. These ruins nre In the best state of preservation of any In the country. Absolutely nothing Is known of thoir builders, and the origin of these ruins was as much a mystery when Coronado first saw them In 1340, when he made his famous Invasion, as It Is to the people of the present day. Indian's Friend. OxTsea and Mnahrooma. A singular way of removing oxygen from the air by the aid of a plant Is as follows: Inside a glass bell Jar, sus pended over water. Is placed a mush room, and sunlight Is allowed to fall upon the plant. . The mushroom ab sorbs the oxygen from the air in the Jar, and the carbonic acid formed dur ing the process is absorbed by the wa ter, which gradually rises In the Jar to one-fifth of its height. The mush room now dries up, but Its animation Is only suspended, as may be proved by Introducing beside It a green plant, when It will' recommence to vegetate, being nourished by the oxygen exhaled from the fresh plant.
