Manners Between Boys.

There is a good deal of rudeness between boys in their intercourse and bearing with one another that is not really intended as such, but is not, therefore, any the less to be disapproved. It is often simply the overflow of excessive high spirits. But the very best good-humor, unrestrained by proper bounds and limitations, may become the most positive incivility. We often apologize for the coarsened s of people by saying, “He means well.” It is well if we can make such an apology for them, for if their rudeness is really intentional they are not fit to be received into any worthy person’s society. But they who mean well should also do well, and the ways of politeness are never so easily learned as in youth. The boy who is habitua ly coarse and rude in his bearing toward other boys will be such as a man toward men, and all his life will never gam the reputation of being a gentleman. Diphthebia is frequently the result of a neglected sore throat, which can be cured by a single bottle of Red Star Cough Cure. Price, twenty-five cents a bottle. Why Middle Seats in a Car Are Best A very common theme of conversation among commercial travelers is the question of whether or not a car rides easier in the middle than above the trucks. One of our railroad contemporaries some time ago published an article on the subject, and took the ground that there could be no difference unless the sills and framing of a car yielded like the buckboard of a wagon. There is certainly no yield to car sills and framing; yet every old traveler avoids the seats, and especially the sleeping berths, above the trucks, and old travelers generally know what they are doing. If the party who. insisted that there could be no difference in motion in different parts of the same car had ever crossed the stormy ocean in a moderately long steamer he might have received some enlightenment, especially if seasickness urged him to find the point of least motion. It is well known that there is less motion amidships than there is at the stem or stern, and less motion at the bottom of the vessel than there is on deck. A car acts in a similar way. Anything defective about the track jerks the wheels, which transmit the irregular motion to the truck, and that in turn to the body of the coach.— Railway World.
