They Were Poor.


An exchange recalls the following
historical facts, which shOuld enc0ur-
age young men struggling under dis
enlargement and poverty:
John Adams, second President, was
the son of farmer of very moderate
means. The only start he had was his
education.
Andrew jackson was born in a log
hut in the piny woods Of North Caro-
lima for which that State is SO famous.
James K Polk spent the earlier
years of his life helping to dig his liv-
ing out of new farm in North Caro-
lima. He was afterwards clerk in a
country store.
Willard Fillmore was the son of a
New York farmer, and his house was
a very humble one. He learned the
business of clOthier.
James Buchanan was born in a small
town among the Allegheny Mountains.
His father cut the logs and built his
own house in what was then a wilder
ness.
Abraham Lincoln was the son of a
very poor Kentucky farmer. and lived
in log cabin until he was 81 years OF
age.
Andrew johnson was apprenticed
to tailor at the age of 10 years by his
widowed mother. He was never able
TO attend school, and picked up all the
education he ever got.

Hereditary Crime.

Up in Pennsylvania they believe in
heredity and point to the Cameron fam
lily as showing how craftsmanship and
political talent are handed down in a
family. An investigation has been late
~ made into the Eastern Penitentiary
to further study this question of hered-
ity and discover whether vice aud crime
can be handed down from generation
to generation in family as we'll as tai
ent. The report strongly vindicates
this theory, for Of the eleven hundred
inmates of the penitentiary, nine tenths
of them were discovered to be the des-
cendants of crimals.
A remarkable series of composite
photographs were also obtained, show
ing types of the criminal classes. The
method of composite portraiture pur-
sued was to make single picture out
of number of individuals of the same
class, the result being a picture which
brings out in strong relief tile dominant
characteristics OF the class. Any one
who has visited the wards of an insane
hospital, knows that there is a typical
image of an insane person. 1t is shown
by these photographs taken in the
Pennsylvania penitentiary that, like in
sanity, each class of crimes has its own
type; that the men guilty of bestial of
fensps had bullying eyes and heavy ami
NAL jaws; the bank r0bber, bold but
intelligent cOunttnance, and 50 on
throughout the entire list.
Scientifically the discovery or rather
the confirmation of an old theory is in
terestiug, but it is difficult to see exact
" how it can be put to any practical
use. It will scarcely do to send man
to the penitentiary because his face is
of the type of the bank robber, although
in the case of bank robbery that fact
might be used as evidence against him.

Too Much early Work.

All the DutritiVe functions and actions

apdly in childhood and youth than in
mature life, not merely as regards the
solids and ordinary fluids, but also in
the production of those impOnderabia
and interchangeable forces which have
sometimes been person;tied as nervous

latter form to amplify ray meaning. the
excess a nervous iorcG is in the child

its coIFc sion into muscular force, and
ut very short intervals during the active

Stinctive!y uses its muscles and relieves
the brain and nerves of their accumu-
lated force, which passes. by the inter-
mediate contraction of the muscular
fiber, into ordinary force or motion, ex-
enplitied by the child's own amuse-
ments and by those Of some object or
other which has attracted its attention.

life too soft to bear long continuance

with the brain fiber. The direct action

Eating without am Appetite.

Hall says: 1T is wrong to eat with
out an appetite. for it shows there is no
gastric Juice in the stomach, and that
nature does not need food; and not need
ing it, there being no juice to receive and
act upon it, it remains there to purify,
the very thought of which should be
sufficient to deter any man from eating
without an appetite for the remainder
of his life. If a tonic is taken to whet
the appetite, it is mistaken course, for
its only result is to cause one to eat
more, when already an amount has been
eaten beyond what the gastric is able to
prepare. The object to be attained is a
larger supply OF gastric juice. and not a
larger supply of food aud whatever
fails to accomplish that desirable object
fails to have any efficiency toward the
cure of dyspeptic diseases. The forma-
ton of gastric juices is directly proper
toned TO the wear and tear of the sys-
tenn, which is to be the means of supply
ing, and this wear and tear can only
take place as the result of exercise.

organs are concerned, they are as likslSy
to do further injury as to mend mat

to see an organ, always enabled to tell
just what is the matter with il. With
the new apparatus, larynx, esoDhagus,
stomach, intestines, urethra, bladder,

lighted up so brilliantly that the oper-
atOr can see clearly the most minute
parts. The adaptability of the electric
light, that is to say of the incandescent
order, to this kind of work is SO apDa-
rent that it is remarkable that physi-
clan or surgeon had not been the first

\ New Railroad.

A San Francisco Chronicle reporter has interviewed YgnacIo Alas, promi- nent Mexican citizen now visiting that city, and obtained the following inform ation relative to the construction of q new railroad from San Diego into Mex ico. Senor Alas said: Last April 1 re- ceived a concession from both the Mex ican and United States governments to build a line from San Diego through the Tia Juana to the Mexican boundary. This is about sixteen m'les, and then IL will run south into Lower California about I50 miles to the port of Iodos Santos, and then will cross the Colorado river and enter the State of Sonora, connecting with Fl Altar and Mazda lena. Here we will touch the Sonora railroad. and later on we will push our line as far as the Mexican Central. l thlnk I shall form a company Tn Eng land. I am now working the project Tn London. The line will open up Lower California. It is known to be rich m minerals, gold and silver being abund- ant, and I am informed that coal has lately been found. Diaz IS an enter prising man, honest Tn his convictions and purposes, and he sees the necessity of such works, and am inclined to be- lieve that the present causes of dlssat- isfactIon will be shortly arranged, so that such works will have no hindrance by internal dissensions.
