a PoST- MoRTEM EXAMINATION So
GETTY -Scarcely day passes that some
society of unique character does not
take its place in the social system. Bene-
ficient or otherwise, these organizations
furnish new evidence of the restless activ-
ity of modern civilization, and in contem-
plation of that fact philosopher might
find solace One Of the most recent and
singular manifestations of this social energy
is found in the formation, at Paris, of a
Post norton Examination Society, whose
members pledge themselves to utilize their
bodies after death "for the profit OF the
scientific idea," by leaving them to the
anthropological laboratory for examina-
ton, dissection, or whatever other pur-
poses may seem fit. The results of the
post.mortem will be drawn up at the low
est price for the family of the deceased.
Every member is expected to pay five
francs annually, in return for which his
autopsy will be performed free of charge,
provided he dies in Paris. The prime OBJ
ject of the society is to increase the value
of post-mortem examinations by offering
subjects whose character and personality
are known to the operator. 1t is supposed
that this knowledge will be especially ser.
viceable in respect to persons who die OF
brain disease.

THE PRoHIBTORY LAW N KANSAS
The new prohibition law of Kansas is
meeting with the strongest opposition
from a quarter whence trouble was proba-
bly, least expected. The law absolutely
forbids the use of wine in the sacrament,
furnishing the minister who so administers
the sacrament with two years imprison-
ment in the penitentiary, and shutting up
the church itself as public nuisance, ac-
ccrding to the Interpretation of the Rev. DR..
Beatty, rector of the Episcopal Church at
Lawrence. Last Sunday that clergyman
administered the sacrament as usual, re-.
CARELESS of the consequences, having previ-
ously announced to the congregation his
determination so to do. He said 80 We
are willing to render unto Caesar the things
which are Casar's but we will still give to
God the things that are His. say, as did
Peter, Judge ye whether we should obey
men rather than God OF one thing you
may be assured, we shall never recognize
for a moment the attempts of human legis-
lation to destroy the great sacrament of
the Christian church" 1t is probable that
the Rev. DIR. Beatty's action will be imi-
tated by other clergymen and the result is
hard to predict. 1t will be argued that
the State cannot permit the prohibition
law to be openly violated by clergymen
without arousing a storm of opposition
from those to whom its enforcement is a
pecuniary loss, and, on the other hand,
that to consign the Rev. DR.. Beatty to
prison and close his church as a nuisance
would place sharp weapons in the hands Of
those who want to see the new law hewn
| down root and branch.

DUEIs IN FRANCE-A French contem-
porary has recently published list by
which it appears that during the year just
passed there occurred in France twenty.
two duels arising FROM political causes.
Among these were several which may be
termed journalistic. the parties including
five editors, eight writers and three direc-
tors. An English daily, analysing the list,
points out that the editors were particular
" unfortunate or clumsy, as they were
wounded in four encounters out OF five.
OF the five cases in which contributors
were engaged, the knights of the quill
were three times successful, while one
battle was without result" From
political point of view, the democratic
combatant was found to be the weaker
party. There were only two fatal rem
countries. In the duel which took place on
the ID of June, between the Count de
Losta and the Marquis de Gil de Olivores,
the former was killed and in that between
NJ. Dodier and NJ. de Msrsent, on the Odd
of November. the former was the victim.
In two instances 40 blood was spilled,
pistols being the weapons. NJ. Wadding.

How To Do IT. = The Hon. Geo. B.
Loring, in an address to the National
Agricultural Society, said "The great
question now occupying the minds of those
interested in the welfare of civilized man,
as member of society, is how can the
comfort, prosperity and intelligence of the
agricultural population be best promoted !:
The thoughtful statesmen of the Old
World have discovered that the American
system of land-holding is the founda-
ton of great popular content, and con.
stitutes the foundation on which rest
great mental activity and dignity of char.
acter. great enterprise and ambition. And
it is to the division and subdivision of the
land, as much as devotion to the interests
of education and religion and social and
civil rights, that our fathers owe their sue
cess in establishing free government. 1t is
this system that is attracting the attention
of the English statesmen, Bright and Glad
stone, and it is really this system that has
been discussed in the controversy between
the Earl of Beaconsfeld and the Marquis
of Harrington"

Eyes"

They stood above the world,
In world apart,
And she dropped her happy eyes,
And stilled the throbbing pulses
OF her happy heart.
And the moonlight fell above her,
Her secret to discover,
And the moonbeams kissed her hair,
As though no human lover
Had laid his kisses there.
&c Look up, brown eyes, he said,
''And answer mine;
Lift up those silken fringes,
That hide happy light,
Almost divine
The Jealous moonlight drittea
To the finger half uplifted,
Where shone the opal ring
Where the c0lors danced and shifted
On the pretty, changeful thing.
Just the old, cid story,
Of light and shade,
Love, like the opal tender,
Like it, maybe to vary,
Maybe to fade.
Just tine old, tender story,
Just glimpse OF morning glory,
In earthly paradise,
With shadOwy refectiens,
In pair of sweet brown eyes.
Brown eyes a man might well
Be proud to win.
Open, to hold his image,
Shut under silken lashes,
Only TO shut him i'll.
Oh, glad eyes look together,
For LIES dark, stormy weather
Grows to fairer thing,
When young eyes look upon 1t
Through a slender wedding ring.

WASHINGTON AND Moan WEBSTER
A correspondent of the Indianapolis Jour.
nal, who has been looking over some old
letters of George Washington in the pos,
session of Gordon L. Ford, writes "Did
you know that Noah Webster came very
near being Washington's private secretary
These letters show it. 1t was about 1883,
when Noah Webster was teaching school,
that mutual friend applied to him to
take the position Of tutor and private
secretary in the family of Washington. A
correspondence was begun and five or six
letters were exchanged, Washington stipu-
lating that the applicant should keep his
books, teach three children (the Curtis
children, probably, and act as his secre-
tary. Mr.. Webster insisted that he must
have some time for private study. and
more than all, that he must be allowed to
marry, which, l hope, is not singular
ambition in young man. The great
soldier and the great photographer did not
make bargain, and perhaps the world
gained dictionary and lost statesman.
