circulation of the blood. Electricity he
said propals the blood. not the heart
however, this view might be esteemed a
heresy. 10 is not by dynamic pressure,
but by electric repuisiOn. When one
breathes strongly and freely, the pulse Is
kept regularly to its fun power; when
weakly and too little, the pulse grows
weak. The reason Is that Ky
gen does not sufficiently reach
the blood. IL is the breathing which
starts and sustaius8 the circulation.
ION this subject, AZ well as that Of the
motion Of the heavenly bodies, the lee
turer had not time to set forth his argu-
ments, as they were foreign 70 the object
OF the lecture. We have therefore raCner
stated the fact of the denial Of these theo-
ries han attempted to give mis- arguments
so far as used, which we may not have
clearly and fully compr9hended.l
He said the will power strengthens and
even prolOngs life. If "vitativeness" Is
small tbs struggle for life is weak, and
vice versa. Several years ago Mrs. ,
IN , going down with consUmp-
ton, was anxious her husband should not
marry again. She asked him to promise
he WOul not do 80. He eqivocat6d and
evaded for a while, but AZ last, said he
would like to please her, but be had
rather not promise. This was TOO much

all alive and kicking in her old home.
Don't you think her husband had better
promised herr On the other hand, Jones
was unwell and ~despairad at onoe-deter-
mined to die-wiIled to die, and died ac-
c9rdingly. One can live if he wants 20,
and will obey natures laws. With all
thy gettings got physical stamina, equal
ly the foundation Of health and wisdom.
The organs can be trained, and must be

and understand the functions they serve
IN order to train them 70 advantage, and
80 As TO render them se~rviceable. The in
tellectual as well as physical organs can
be- trained. Winship, the GYM
mast OF the country, began weak, and af-
ter two years practice could lift six hun
dred pounds. After several yesrs more
practice, he can now lift 2700 pounds, and
expects by further cultivation of his
muscles to lift even more. The raa-
on most people do not advance faster
physically aud intellectually is that they
are Lazy, or, in potter phrase, inertia is
what's the matter with them. Butler. the
Boston gymnast, can lift more than any
man he ever knew. He knew a girl Of
six years with a spinal curvature. who
could now lift 200 pounds and had q
straight spine; and Of a case Of a psrslysed
limb restored by exercise alone. If you
want an errand done, better give it TO the
man that has a hundred to do, for much
shall be giYentO him that hath much. Self
culture is the only culture which AMOUNT
to anything. What Of honor we have
will come Of the exercise of our faculties.
And this prepares US for immortality,
which, so far from opposing, pbrenOlOgy
proves. There is something in nature
which sets Our faculties in motion. What
that is as to each is an important inquiry.
Quoting Archbishop Whately as saying
that he regarded the developments of
chronological science as worth more as
the indicator as well as ~cUltivator of the
intellectual and moral faculties than all
the wOrksOn mental philosophy ever writ
ten, the lecturer concluded with a more
particular exhibition Of the fundamental
principles Of chronological science. He
will lecture again tonight. We advise
all to go and hear him as a. gentleman
whose reputation as a phreuolOgist and
thinker is established, and whose lectures
viii be highly instructive and useful.
