SCRATCHED TICKETS.

The inquiry has been made y to the effeot
of FASTING slips with names on the election
tickets in place of those erased. The mattel
has been carefully examined BY several Legal
gentlemen, and the conclusion arrived at is
that it is advisable in all cases where name
is erased from ticket to substitute the name
designed to take its place in 'oriting, and mo-
by FASTING printed slips over the name erased
Let voters observe this precaution.

Should use
DUCONGE'S PICTORIAL BALSAAIIC SYRUP:
l. Because in all affections of the lungs verginp
on consumption. it has been found the best syrup
to prevent that dreadful scourge, whenever
timely resorted to.
g Because, besides its acknowledged certainty
of cure this truly wonderful medicine has over
most compounds of the same nature, the decided
advantage that, owing to its agreeable flavor, it
can be administered without difficulty to children,
and requires no very particular diet.
3. Because it has been highly beneficial in al
intiammatory disorders, such as rheumatism,
diarrhea or dysentery.
4. Because it is also the cheapest, not only be-
cause the bottles contain more syrup but, Jkng

Warm Winters.

Tt is customary to forget each Win

and 10 consider everYSeason remark

ford Courant contains some records
transcribed from the Journal OF the
Rev. Thomas Smith of Portland,
Maine, kept between the years 1870
and 1895, which are rendered especial
ly interesting by the present mildness.
In 1875 January was pleasant and mod
crate, and February was summer

storms; February was summer month
again, and March the same; in 1751,
January Is, the frost was entirely out
ofthe ground February was like spring,
and ''the winter ends a wonder through
the WHOLE" In 1856, in January, the
fish, as they are reported TO have done
this wear, "struck in" from the sea,
the weather being so warm. February
was delightful, and March clustering
but soft as May. In 1873 Mr.. Smith
records a summer day on January q,

and February 8 "no snow since Decem-

Geology and Stock Raising.

The application of physical geography
to agriculture alone Well repayS US Ior
making it prominent feature In our
educational scheme. Our farmers are
beginning to find out that 1t Is not alto
pether the breed of cattle that they buy
that gives them success In herdlng or
dairying, but whether the breed Is
ADAPTED to soil and natural food CT the
special region where the farmer pro-
poses to do his work. Agassiz tells US
that in certain districts OF Switzerland,
where granite rocks predominant, only
cattle of small size can be found, Out
in limestone districts only large breeds
are found. The rule is, that the size OF
the animal will be propOrtioned to the
lime he receives with which to con-
struct his bones. The cheese factories
of New York begin to furnish STATISTICS
that seem to demonstrate that on clay
soil the yield of milk is greater than on
sandy soil 1t follows from sucn
facts that large framed cattle must
deteriorate if transferred 10 l.eager
pastures, and the smaller Doneu herus
are out of place in the rich IoWland
fields. This law holds equally well ID
its application to sheep and to swine;
also, to the selection of proper grasses
and seeds. Sheep taken to very warm
regions soon exchange their fine wool
for coarse hair, and even in some re-
gions become bare of covering alto
gether. Guyot, in his Physical Geo
graphy, shows the nice relation which
also exists between man and physical
nature. The features, the framework,
the brain force, all vary under the in
fiuence of soils, rocks, food, as we'll as
are modified by scenery and association.
The Terra del Fuegan is creature of
the land that bears him; the Saxon
owes his form and his features and bis
intelligence as much to the physical
basis of his life as to the intellectual
and moral forces that nurture him. In
other words, diet, as well as education
the food we eat as well as the books
we read-helps to determine the in
telligence of our expression, carriage
and speech. 1t is an easy matter ior
the people in Il given locality to be
largely deteriorated by foods that do
not supply the requirements OF bone,
brain and sinew.-[St. l.. Dem.

How Nice it is to bc a Supreme
Court Justice.

The judges ejustices Of tie Supreme
Court are rather joval, with all their
gravity. They have exceptional social
advantages. They are asked every
where, and they go everywhere that is
proper. A sort of divinity hedges them
round about. They are first at every
State occasion, or nearly first. They
are welcome tigureheads at great wei-
QlngS. They dominate great dinners.
The decorate receptions and balls. A
justice or a Chief Justice as party in
Washington is like prince at draw
lng-room In London, or a cardinal in
Rome. They tiutter in and out of the
Senate with sage and solemn air of
possession. l think it is in evidence
That they often condescend to sherry
and champagne, and fear that Grier
and Nelson exceptionally descended to
old rye whisky. The whole nine affect
the drama. John Marshall undoubted-
ly shed tears over Fanny Kimble, Just
as the eminent PENNSYLVANIA Chief
Justice, John Bannister Gibson, idol
lied old Joseph Jefferson. Davis, Of
illinois, and Swayne, of Ohio, Miller of
Iowa and Clifford of Maine, 0o not deny
their weakness for a good opera or bal
let, and Joseph Story, like Caleb Cush-
ing, enjoy good novel, and wrote
some very fair poetry when he was a
young man.
So that there aye many resons way
statesman who has got through with
other offices should aspire to round his
career by seat on the velvet cushions
OF the Supreme bench. 1t is for life.
1t is social power. 1t is cosy look
out ON politics. 1t is solid dignity
1t is not an exhaustive labor. The
salary is good, and never touched ex-
cept to be raised. AS the law is the
royal profession in this couhtry, so a
place in the. Supreme Court is.the only
royal laurel that can be placed :on an
American lawyers brow. = W.

ThO Eie2r1

In recent paper addressed to the
Medico-Surk ical Academy of St. Pc
tersburg to DIR. Cyon, and published in
the Revue Scientisique, we find an in
teresting physiological point discussed;
the connection OF the heart with the
brain. The author remarks upon the
ulanimity with which poets of all ages
and countries have invested the centre
Of circulation with the intellectual
functions that give expression to the
passions of madkind. We talk in COM
mon parlance of a good and a bad
heart; We say OF a man that he is warm
or cold hearted; we go with a heavy
heart to hear of expected bad tidingS;
youth is light-hearted, &C. The Ques-
tiOn therefore, arises whether there is
any physiological truth in all these ex-
pressiOns and poetieal figures? Some
forty years ago the great scientific dis
coveries daily proclaimed rather tend
ed to throw the heart in the back
ground in SO far as its moral influence
was concerned, and only recognize its
supremacy as the life and force pump
by which the circulation of the blood
is effected. DIR. Claude Bernard was
the first to endeavor, in 1864, to revive
Oii ESiCuOil4C SlOuuOS liiO OCiiCi III Sul-
diac influence on the intellectual facul-
ties; but he did not at that time possess
the data which have since accrued to
science. DR.. Cyon here describes the
branches of nerves more recently
found, that establish communication
between the heart and the brain. The
former has nervous system, distinct
from the central one, but connected
with the pneumogastric one by which
they go to the brain, while others go
from the latter to the center by means
of the ganglions of the great sympa-
thetic. Such being the mechanism. it
may be easily understood why, on re-
ceiving news, the heart will sometimes
beat with painful rapidity; the pneu-
mogastric branches which retard the
puisations are temporarily paralyzed.
In the case Of joyful tidings, the heart
also beats East, because the accelerating
nerves are over excited; but, as the
others are not paralyzed, the strokes
diminish in intensity as they increase
in number, and are therefore not pain
full but pleasurabie.

The Oxford MethOdists.

Ofthe Oxford Methodists, from whom
was 10 come the general revival of the
English Church, NJ. Tyerman has re-
Gently published an interesting narra-
tive. The young students, who were
penetrated with a higher religious i'm
pulse at Oxford than had been known
since the founding of the Protestant es-
tablishment, were nearly all possessed
of singular abilities, and retained
through life the earnest love for their
species when had made them in their
youth the friends of the prisoners and
The beggars, of the iowly and the
sad. Kirkham of Merton, whose life
Is nearly unknown; William Morgan,
who died in the midst of his early
ardor; Clayton, the Jacobite and High
Churchman; the Rev. Benjamin Ing
ham, the founder of churches; or Gam
bold, the Moravian bishop-each in his
varied sphere reflected the influence of
the Wesleys and the power of an over
mastering faith. Gentlest and most
graceful of the band, Hervey wrote his
pleasing if not profound Meditations in
AddisOnian English, and dreamed
away his spotless life in adding to his
Theron and Aspasid, yet never ceased
his good works or lost his love for man.
Yet it does not seem that the Oxford
Methodists were united in doctrine, or
were always willing to follow the
guidance of their leader. Hervey and
Wesley were often parted by memora-
bic differences. Some of the band clung
to the English Church, and were shock
ed when their leader boldly ventured
out into his new path of reform.
Whitetield and Wesley were divided
by radical dissension. Broughton
was perhaps faithful to his master.
The Judas of the band, Westley Hall,
sank into profligacy and unbelief, and
covered with disgrace the Cause which
he had once seemed capable of uphold
ing with undivided strength. But il
left for the two Wesleys to enlarge the
little association, which was begun at a
prayer-nleeting at Oxford, in 1923,
to limitless proportions; and it was
chiefly from the capacity for organiza.
tion which John Wesley possessed
above his fellows that the Oxford
movement was not permitted to sink
into an early decay From "The City
Road Chapel" by Eugene Lawrence,

Mark Twain's Turkish Lunch

/ never want another one. The cook
ing apparatus was in the lunch room
near the bazaar, and it was all open to
the street. The cook was dirty, and so
was the table, and it had no cloth on il.
The fellow took mess Of sausage meat
and coated it around wire, and Ilaid it
on 8 charcoal fire to cook. When il
was done, he laid it aside, and dog
walked sadly in and nipped il. He
smelt it first, and probably recognized
the remains of friend. Tee cook took
it away from him and laid it before US.
Brown said, 81 pass" He PLAYS
euchre sometimes, and we all passed
in turn. Then the cook baked broad,
fiat wheaton cake, creased it well with
the sausage, and started to bring it to
Us, it dropped in the dirt, and he pick
ed it mp and polished it on the seat of
his breeches, and laid it before us.
Brown said, F" pass" We all passed
and called new deal. He put some
eggs into frying-pan and stood
pensively prying slabs of meat from
between his teeth with fork. Then
he used the fork to turn the eggs witt,
aud brought them along. Brown said,
" pass" All followed suit. We did
not know what to do, and so We order
ed q new ration Of sausage. The cock
got out his wire, app0rtioned a proper
amount of sausage meat, spit on his
hands and fell to work. This time, with
one accord we all passed out. We paid
and left. That Is all learned about
Turkish lunches. A Turkish lunch Is
good, no doubt, but it has its weak
points.

DREAMLAND,

Mr.. Beecher talked about Dreamland.
''Some people," he said, If they get

der, or put stocking wrong out,
interpret it as sign of somefATHg or
other. When 1 was lad aHd5Weht

my conception is that luck means the
right operation of causes to produce
good effects. That little devil called
Luck doesn't go flying about blindly,
dropping gold on some people and

and started up trembling out of IL vain
effort to hide the. body. My idea is
that when the upper, higher part OF
your brain is asleep, the lower, basiiar
part is half awake--unrestraine
your dreams are report from your
animal faculties. When the lower
part of your brain is asleep, and the
upper part active, you dream such
dreams that when YOU awake you try
to go to sleep to finish them. All this
stuff about dreams, luck, signs, and
omens, l class as outgrowths of con-
science not guided by clear perception.
