Didn't Mean Him.

"Take square look at mel" he COM
manded as he halted in front of
policeman on Michigan avenue yester-
day.
The policeman looked him all over.
He was a pretty good chunk of man,
carrying florid face, a prominent nose,
and an air of general innocence.

"Do my clothes ftp Do wobble

MIR. GIadstOne's Vitality.

The London Standard, in an article
upon Mr.. GladstOne's wonderful physi
cal powers, says: Fond though Mr..
Gladstone is of open air, it cannot be
said that field sports are or ever were
his forte. 1t is on record that Lord
BeacOnstield once went out fox hunting
with his friend the late Lord Galway's
hounds in NOttinghamshire but no
one, so far as we are aware, ever saw
Mr.. Gladstone in the hunting field.
At one time it was often his habit to
ride in Hyde park, but his seat on
horseback, though strong and tena
ciOus, was never that of what in the
flying shires would be called "wOrk-
man." Dozens of members of Parlia-
ment have probably sat in the House
of Commons with Mr.. Gladstone for
years without having noticed that, as
the black silk guard tied around his
wrist indicates, he has lost the index
finger of the left hand. Like the ia
nous Lord Anglesey's leg, which was
buried in the Belgian village from
which the battle of Waterloo takes its
name, Mr.. Gladstone left his lost fin
ger, in spOrtsman's sense, on the field
of honor. Nearly forty years ago he
was staying at Escrick park, near York,
as the guest of the grandfather of the
present Lord Wenlock, who was the
mother of Mrs. Gladstone. Mr. Glad
stone went out shooting as one of
large party, and while he was loading
his gun-there were no breech- leaders
in those days-One barrel exploded and
blew away his finger. There was no
hope of replacing it or of setting the
bone, which, indeed, was entirely car
ried away, and from that day to this
Mr.. Gladstone has always worn the
black finger-stall to which we have
just alluded. The accident seemed to
be protest against his further use of
fowlingpiece but it was not until
some years later that he took to the
amusement of cutting down trees.
Throughout his life Mr.. Gladstone
has been a particularly fast, enduring
and vigorous walker. He is cast, in
deed, in the mould to which all famous
pedestrians belong. Wiry, lean, sin
ewy, without an ounce of superfiuOus
lumber about him, Mr.. Gladstone,
when younger man, was in the habit
of saying, but without a tincture of
vanity OF Ostentation, that he was good
for fOrty-mile walk any day. AL
though his thoughtful face and little
hgure are as well known in every part
of this metropolis as those of any resi-
dent within its borders, who ever yet
saw Mr.. Gladstone in hanson or any
other cabf 1t was not without diff

doubt that the unreasonable and bru-
tai system of "grades" is doing harm
to thousands of school children. This
system proceeds on the hypothesis that,
If all children are not equal in mental
gifts, they can approach standard of
equality, to rise above which is TO be
reckoned prodigy and to fall below
it a Ounce.
child of tolerable abilities is
spurred on to efforts beyond its powers.
Mediocre talent is forced in the hope of
budding into genius. Falling short of
the arbitrary standard in one study
necessitates an amount of extra energy
to come up to it, the expenditure of
which retards progress in others, and
thus it goes. Under the old system of
free schools the scholars progress was
natural. Industry was exacted, but a
boys deficiency in arithmetic did not
prevent his familiarity with history.
He could apply his energies to his
studies in proportion to his power.
To-day children are called on to make
bricks, but the all-important straw may
not be at hand. Nevertheless, their
task goes on without regard to the
supply of the necessary adjunct.
The prepOsterous system should be
abolished and the laws of nature be
followed. 1t may be hard to kill the
average boy with over study, but the
educators of to-day are making syste-
matte efforts to demonstrate the facili-
tv with which his dispatching may be

Why Pneumonia is Prevalent.

Week after week adds to the roll OF
victims of that dread disease, pneumO-
mia. So prevalent has it become, that
many persons, physicians as well as
others, begin to consider it, if not in
fectiOus, at least epidemic. The New
York Herald and the Tribune contain
interviews with prominent physicians
as to the causes of and remedies for
pneumonia. DIR. LOOmis says, "The
causes are atmospheric there is abroad
some unknown influence which predis-
poses to intiammatory diseases that
have an infectious element Usually
the maximum number of cases occurs
in March or April, but this year, prob
ably on account of the peculiar wealth
er, it has come earlier than usual.
Young people, DIR. LOomis says, usual
ly II over from it old people, scarce
ly e er. DR.. Alonzo Clark says that
the exact causes of the disease are as
yet unknown, but that from records
which have been kept it appears that
barOmetTical conditions of the atmos-
phere have as much to do with it as
thermOmetrical. 1t is usually traced
to sudden exposure, followed by a Sc
we're cold. A weak condition of the
system, an indulgence in alcoholic liz
uOrs, and business anxiety or overwOrk
constitute favorable conditions for its
rapid development.
DIR. William A. Hammond thinks
that the disease, together with many
others, may be traced to the overhead
ing of houses, so common among us.
When the temperature of house Is too
high, there is great danger of taking
cold by passing from the Overheated
rooms to the cold outside air. This is
especially true in country houses.
where the halls are not heated and a
shock is given to the system every time
one passes from room to room through
the cold passages.
Taken altogether, this testimony
from three leading physicians justifies
five conclusions First, that one is es-
pecially liable to pneumonia at this
season of the year second, that over
heated rooms are dangerous; third
that violent changes of temperature
should be guarded against; fourth,
that overwork and worry predispose to
pneumonia fifth, that indulgence in
alcoholic liquors helps the disease
Any one may contract this ailment, but
reasonable degree of caution in the
particulars we have named, and "A
prompt application of remedies on the
first appearance of the symptoms, will
constitute pretty efficient safeguards
for every one.

ST. JOHNSBURY, VT, FRIDAY

the war broke out. The government
was poor and leaking at every seam.
Many of the clerks in the patent-O office
were disloyal. Miss Barton went to
the commissioner, d. p. Holloway, and
told him that if he would dismiss two
of these disloyal clerks, she would her
self do the work of their two desks, on
condition that their salaries $4,000
each) should remain in the treasury,
and that expense be saved to the gov
eminent. The offer was received with
great respect, but declined because it
could not legally be accepted. Miss
Barton resigned her position, and soon
after began that career of service to
the wounded which has made her name
historic.

tient generally is to DR.. Andrew
Clark's mandates, that the experienced
physician could prevail upon Mr.. Glad
stone, when the premier was living in
Harley street, to abstain from trudging
down to the House of Commons every
day and walking home in all weathers
at night. 1t is not generally known
that, shortly after he had left Oxford,
Mr.. Gladstone's eyes were in a condi-
ton to cause much anxiety.
He was ordered to pass some weeks
in dark room, and, with that indOmi-
table strength of will which has char
acterized him in so many iunctures of
his life, he acquiesced cheerfully, and
went through one of his most tiresOme
and weary Ordeals to which it is pos
slble for man of quick mind and ar
dent temperament to be subjected
From that darkened chamber he came
forth with eyesight perfectly restored,
but it has been and still is his careful
habit to write and read as often as he
can, seated with his back to the win
dow, and with the light coming from
behind his head. He is under the i'm
preston that, upon the whole, he takes
great, or at any rate considerable, care
of himself; and although he seldom

which to others seems desperately cold,

A Remarkable Case.

Governor Begole has Just pardoned
from the Michigan penitentiary Samuel
Ulman, sentenced for life in 1865, af-
ter serving twenty-eight years, who
is victim of cruel injustice. The
victim of the crime was a middle aged
Vermont bachelor named Estabrook.
who became engaged to marry Miss
Wood, living near LeOnidas, in south
western Michigan, and in 1853 he sold
his farm, took the money in his pocket
and started for the wOman's house, in
tending to be married and live there.
He arrived in Burr Oak Saturday. No
vember II, the next morning started
from there with a team to drive to
Miss WOOds's house, but stopped at
noon for dinner at a crossroads tavern,
kept by Haywood & Stillwell, three or
four miles short of his journeys end.
There all traces of the man is lost. 1t
seems that something induced him to
change his plan, as he sent the team
back to Burr Oak, and the next morn
ing Haywood, one of the hotel owners,
sent his baggage on to Miss Woods by
a teamster with the explanation that it
belonged to a stranger who would be
along in few days but no credible
witness ever saw him after he entered
the tavern, neither his body nor so
much of a shred of his clothing was
found, and his fate is to this day Il
mystery.
But not long after Giles Harding.
who lived in the vicinity, told a story
charging Ulman and a man named
White with the murder and duplicating
himself as accessory. He said that he
saw Estabrook walking to Miss WOOds's
on the Sunday night, that Ulman and
White came along with a wagon and
asked him to ride, drove into the woods
and killed him, and that he, Harding,
got into the wagon as it moved along.
Harding was in Jail for theft when he
made the confession, was weak minded
and IA notorious liar as was shown at
the trial, and had a grudge against
both Ulman and White but yet his
story, improbable on its face and en-
tirely unsupported, led to conviction.
No doubt he expected to escape pun
ishment himself, but finally Ulman,
White and Harding were convicted
and sentenced for life.
Harding and White both died in
former after making an
affidavit declaring his whole testimony
false, and the latter stoutly protesting
his innocence to the last-and now
Ulman, after more than IA quarter of
century of life as "A condemned crimi-
nal, is declared innocent and released,
an old man, with his life ruined by the
state, which yet leaves him without il
