The Weekly Hxaminer|:
BENEFIT OF BEING KNOCKED ABOUT.
It is a good thing for a young man to be “knocked about in the world,” aiaaiak his soit-hearted parents may not think so. All youths, or if not all, certainly nineteer-twen- tieths of the sum total, enter life with a sur- Plusage of self-conceit. ‘Lhe sooner they are relieved the better. If, in measuring them. Selves with wiser and older men than them. selyes, they discover that it is unwarranted, and get rid of it gracefully and of their own accord, weil and good ; if not, it is desirable, for their gWn sake, that it should be knocked out of them. A boy who is sent to a large school sd0n finds his level. His wil! may have been paramount at home ; but school-boys are democratic in their ideas, and if arrogant, he is sure to be thrashed into a recognition of the golden rule. The world is a great public school, and it soon teaches a new pupil his proper place. If he has the attributes that be- jong to a leader, he will be installed into the position of the leader; if not, whatever his own opinion of his abilities, he will be com- pelled to fall back into the rank and file. If not destined to greatness, the next best thin to which he can aspire is respectability ; but no man can be truly great or truly respectable who is vain, pompous, and prettiatinn. By the time the novice has found his legitimate social position, be the same high or low, the probability is the same disagreeable traits of character will be softened down and worn away. Most likely the process of abrasion will be rough, but wher it is all over, and he begins to see himself as others see him, and not reflected in the mirror of self-sonceit, he will be thankful he has run the gauntlet, and arrived though by a rough road of knowledge. Upon the whole, whatever loving mothers may think tothe contrary, it is a good thing for youths to be knocked about in the world. It makes men of them, and ; fits them for the rough and tumble life they will have to meet in this world.

Waterproof mastic cement is five parts river sand, five parts ground stone, ten parts red lead, in powder.
Powdered chalk, brick dust or fine sawdust, added to glue, will make it hold with more than ordinary firmness. . Ee In Breslau, Prussia, a successful attempt has been made to erect a paper chimney about fifty feet high. By a chemical preparation the paper is rendered impervious to either fire or water.
Bottle or blue glass is made of the common- est materials in about the following propor- tions : Sand, 100 parts; kelp or impure soda, 30; wood ashes, 40; potter’s™clay, 100; cullet or broken glass, 100.
A Boston lady, travelling in Germany, thinks that some of the youths. who pride themselves on face scars received in duels might show greater bravery by helping their mothers and sisters to plough and hoe.
Cements that are used in a fused state, as resin or shellac, will not adhere, unless the parts to be joined are heated to the fusing point of cement. If glue is employed, the sur- face should be made so warm that the melted jue is not chilled before it has time to effect a tiaorough adhesion.
The largest steamship, except the (reat Hastern, ever built is now in New York har- bor. She is named the Hooper, and has here- tofore been used in the laying of telegraph cables. This is her first trip to this country. In the spring she will return to her old work. She was built at Newcastle-on-Tyne, by C. Mitchell, in 1873, and is classed 100 Al at Lloye’s. She is 350 feet over all, 55 feet broad, and 36 feet deep. She is built of iron and is rigged as a three-masted schooner. She is registered as 4,935 tons, but has a capacity of 6,000 tons, exclusive oF season. so She has two compound inve engines of 400 nominal horse-power, is fiit>d with steam wind- lass, winches, crane, and ballast and donkey engines. In her are three cable thnks, one 41 feet in diameter and 30 feet deep. another 53 by 30 feet, and the third 51 by 30 feet. In the centre one have been stored 57,000 bush. of corn. In tbe spaces between these tanks she has room for 400 tons of freight. She will carry out the largest cargo that ever left an port in the States. On board of her are a the rooms and appurtenances for the laying of cables. She is manned by a crew of 100 men.
Enp or THE Hatcuam Casz.—The Rev. Arthur Tooth has finally routed all his ad- versaries, In the Queen’s Bencha rule has been made absolute setting aside all the pro- ceedings against him, on the ground that the requisition of the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Dean of Arches to hear the case; called upon him to sit in Londor or at Westminister, or within the Diocese of Rochester. The learned judge sat at Lambeth, which is not in- cluded in either of the places named. The Lord Chief Justice observed that the Court made the rule absolute with great regret, as the objection was of the most technical des- crip.ion.
If Dr. Johnson, who considered Temple Bar as a sacred pile, could again “‘takea walk down Fleet street,” he would whistle to Bozzy, and ery out: ‘‘Sir, where is our Temple Bar?’ Echo—not the halfpenny paper of that name— would answer ‘‘ Where?’ As a municipal landmark the ancient obstruction is doomed by the voice of the Common Council. On the south side the pavement will be ten feet wide, and on the north side twelve feet, and in the centre there will be a column or obelisk to mark the spot, and to fix the limits of the city’s jurisdiction. Thus will come to an end a hideous and useless thing, venerable only asa nnisance with nothing about it historical ex- eept in so far as it was designed by Sir Chris- topher Wren.

‘Mr. Jones, don’t you think that women are more sensible than men?’ asked Miss Smith. And Jones, after scratching his favor- ite bump for a moment or two, said: “ Why, certainly they are—they marry men, and men only mary women;” Miss Smith beat a hasty retreat.
An Oxford Professor of Bibilical criticism recently put to his class the question whether they could think of any reason why the grave of Moses should have been so strictly con- cealed ; and a simple youth, who unfortu- nately stammers, thought it must be ‘“‘ be-ber oe they would t-ake him up and st-stuff

A little Ottawa Miss, taken to Church f the first time, was duly impressed with the necessity that she should keep ‘‘as still as a mouse.” She behaved herself until the preacher became warmed up to his work, and then she raised her finger, and, looking straight
at him, cried, ‘‘see here, don’t you make so mueh noise.”
Henri de Tourville, the English barrister, now lying under sentence of death in Austria for murdering his wife, Madeline, by pushi her over a precipice, has appealed his case. If the appeal is unsuccessful, it is the intention of the relatives of the unfortunate lady to set up @ claim to her against any disposi- tion of it which he may attempt to make.

In a Lombard village a drunken conseript, while recently passing before a statue of St. Anthony of Padua, teok it into his head to kneel and pray the saint to exempt him from military service. Gradually warmi in his devotions, he climbed tie pedestal and began to hug and kiss the statute so violently that both saint and sinner tumbled to the ground. The former suffered no damage, but the latter sustained serious internal injuries which pro- duced the desire result. Neighbouring Padua, when informed of the cccurrence, while griev- ing that the national army had lost an able- bodied soldier, rejoiced at the vindication of his authority by her favourite son and protec- tor.
SraTIsTics OF THE Mernopist Eprscopan Cuurcn oF THE Unirep Srares.—The statis- tical returns for the year have been received from 85 of the 91 annual conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

The Montreal Witness remarks as follows: ‘* What a paradise this Canada of ours is for unsuccessful men of business! Some two years ago the firm of H. Davies 2 Co, of which Julius Davis was a member, failed with $400,000 liabilities, bringing down with them in ther fall several leading firms here, They under- took to pay them ten cents on the dollar, and finally settled on the basis of two and a half cents. A person would imagine that with such a record that woyld be the last seen of Julius Davis in this community. Not so, however, for we hear of him again as a member of the firm of W. 8. Wood & Co., which has just failed with liabilities unknown as yet, but of course large. We understand the banks are the principal creditors. Two retail firns have given accommodation paper to Wood & Co., and will probably be brought to grief.”
Texas Guano FROM Bats.—The Commis- sioner of Agriculture has reported favorably upon samples of guana from caves in Texas, in- habited by bats. He reports the material aa worth from $15 to $80 per ton, and comparing favorably with fish guano for fertilizing pur- poses. There are several caves containing such deposits in Texas, and the estimated amount f gnano is very great—perhaps 15,000 to 20,000 tons for a single cave. As to the bats, they are simply innumerable; a traveller, who ac- companied General Ord in a recent visit to a cave near the little town of Selma, sary the bats there at not less than 30,000,000. It is an unexplained mystery how such numbers sustain their collective weight when clinging to the roofs of the caves. en the bata issue forth, they darken the airas if a great volums of smoke was pouring out from the opening.
