A FRENCH physician is out in long
dissertation on the advantages Of groan-
ing and crying in general. He contends
that groaning and crying are two grand
operations by which nature allays an
guish; that those patients who give way
to their natural feelings more speedily
recover from accidents and operations
than those who suppose it unworthy
man to betray such symptoms of cow
srdice a. either to groan or cry. He tells
of man who reduced his pulse from one
hundred and twenty six to sixty in the
course of few hours by giving full vent
to his emotions. If people are at all IN
happy about anything let them go into
their room and comfort themselves with
q loud boo hoo. In accordance with the
above, the crying of children should not
be too greatly discouraged. If it is sys-
temstically repressed the result may be
81. Vitus' dance, epileptic fits, or some
other disease of the nervous system.

A GOOD reparses is told of ascapegrace
whom mentor reminded that his aunt
had paid his debts, and that he should be
more submissive to the wishes of his rels-

not take much heed of the sermon, but

AVERSION TO MONEY.-One OF the lie
formers" who years ago thought "the
happy family" at Brook Farm would be
the beginning of new social life, was a
brother of one of the leading editors of
the country. Being very young man,
he had imbibed the notion that it was
wrong to use money as medium of ex-
change. Barter, or the exchange of one
produce for another, and labor, he
thought, were the only righteous methods
Of exchange.
If he rode in rail. car, he would an
swer, in response to the conductors de-
mand for a ticket or money, that he had
neither, but would do any work the con-
ductor might suggest in payment for his
ride. If he desired quart of straw
berries or a small measure of peaches
most of the Brook farmers lived on the
fruits of the earth-he would say: "GOld
and silver have l none, but such as
have, my ability to work, l will exchange
for these"
Tradition says that such we're the win
ming ways and charming conversation of
the young man that peaches and rides
were freely placed at his command
Alas for the loyalty Of young men to
their ideals!, That young reformer, so it
is said, married lady with fortune
and is now prosperous English gentle.

and silver in exchange for labor and
products.

A LITTLE boy entered fish market

An Unknown Great Man.

VIM. II. Seward was first nominated
for Governor of New York in 1884. He
lived at Auburn, and a number of his
fellow-townsmen, in accordance with the
old saying, "a prophet is not without
honor save in his own country" were OPP
posed to the nomination. They berated
their delegation for favoring it, and the
chairman remarked, II never supposed
Mr.. Seward was a great man, but when l
went to Utica, found that everybody
spoke of him as the greatest man in the
State" SWELL" replied the vexed citi-
zens, "the State must be in strange con-
dition if Seward is among its great men,"
Gentlemen" answered the chairman, ~
have learned one thing by going to Utica;
and that is that great man never lives
at homer A great man has been found
at Erie, Pa, unknown to his townsmen.
Yale Callege conferred the degree of A.
NJ. on ARENAS Martin, and the citizens
of Erie knew of no such man. A re-
porter, however, found him out, and he
is considerable Of man, as the report
shows:
Professor ARENAS Martin is bach
elor, aged forty-two. His occupation is
that of market gardener, and for the last
half-dozen years every Wednesday and
Saturday morning has found him selling
vegetables on State Street. In his own
family he has always been called 1.-THE
Professor" "a title he has now right to
wear, but to his neighbors he has been
known only as market gardener.
In mathematical circles, in this coun-
try and Europe, few names are better
known than that of ARENAS Martin. He
is regular contributor to the Educational
Times, of London, England; to the Mes
senger Of Mathematics, of Cambridge,
England; to the Ana!yst, Of Des Moines,
Iowa, and the mathematical department
of the Yates County Chronicle, of Penn
Yam. N. Y. He was editor of the mathe-
NAUTICAL department of the Schoolday
Magazine till its discontinuancc. He is
now editor Of the department of higher
mathematics in the Normal Monthly, pub
lished by the we'll known mathematical
ssthor, Professor Brooks, at Millersville,
Pa. Finally, he is editor and publisher
Of the Mathematical Visitor, an annual OF
which the first number was issued last
March. In his modest home was found a
comprehensive and valuable mathemati-
Cal library of several hundred volumes.
