How have these many lawyers fulfilled the promises of their admission oath and realized the high expecta- tions of an honorable career at the bar? Have they! ‘ Iived up to the elevated ideals of their law-school days? How many of them have obtained the prizes of high aims, and how many have fallen into the plodding routine of self-satisfied mediocrity or sunk into the depths where the shyster and the pettifogger and the Gbettor of blackmail have their habitat? How many have proved unfaithful to a trust or figured as counsel for dubious financial ventures?

What would they have done with their leisure time if they had not been afforded these opportunities of rational diversion? 3 What would the various other hundreds of thou- ~a sands of pleasure-seekers have done with their extra day 7 off if they had been denied the privilege of spending it at amateur baseball games or golf or cricket or tennis, or @t tho hundreds of near-by country clubs? The great multiplication of country clubs, many of them the mushroom growth of a few years, but already stable and well established on the firm basis of a general pub- fe He interest in outdoor sport, is one of the best phases “i of social development. Athletic sports furnish a fine safety-valve for the high physical pressure of idleness and restlessness which might find a less innocent outlet. They yield an incentive and a motive both for participant and for spectator. They provide an objective point for an outing, a direct purpose on which to hang a day’s diversion. They make for temperance and a sane use of surplus leisure, and in this alone, wholly apart from tb other reasons, justify their existence BOYS’ TEMPTATIONS. Dr. Depew says in answer to the charge of the Rev. « Dr. Hillis that “the pampered sons of the rich are rotten before they are ripe” that “the greatest danger comes to country boys who go to the city to make their for- tune.” It is these unfortunates who are to be pitied more than the millionaires’ sons. The hall bedroom 1s a mot an agreeable home and the saloon and the poolroom become thelr places of resort, their clubs, “The condt- ‘ tions are all against them,” as they are all in favor of » the boys in wealthy homes.

(HOME FUN FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.| ELECTRIC ATTRACTION AND REPULSION. | It !s well known that poles of the same name repel each other, and that those of contrary names attract each other; in other words, negative or posi- lve electricity attracts electricity of the opposite sign and repels that of the same sign. The principle may be demonstrated by constructing a lUttie toy whish will «t the same time be interesting to see tn operation. Plant 4 needle into a cork by way of a plvot; then take two old corset steals, or, If they are not convenient, the spring of a clock, and magnetize them by means of a magnetic bar or a ma- chine. In the middle of one of the stonls make a slight indenture so that the needle can turn freely on the cork wivhout danger’ of falling, You will then have constructed needle or compass. Next cut out four little paper dolls, two men and two women, and place 4 pair on each steel, one person at each end. Now every time that you present one of the men to the other they will be re- pelied, while if you present a woman v him they, too, will be abiracted. he explanation {s simple. You must only be careful to place the men and Women on the contrary poles, the men on the positive and tne women on the negative, or vice versa. You will then be able to demonstrate the principle mentioned abov An amusing Variation may be had by naming the dolls for people present and by illustrating antipathy as well as aiinity between the men and women, a mariners SILHOUETTE SKETCHES.
