Know ThySelf.

A writer in Good Cheer commenting
upon the general Ignorance concerning
the human body and the laws which
govern it, gives the following incident:
Do You think me eXtravagant in
saying that the majority of people are
not informed concerning themselves
You would not think so if you could
understandingly hear what every ply
sician hears daily. People study every
thing but themselves. They would be
ashamed to be ignorant of the position
of the Pleiades in the arch of heaven,
but they know nothing of the arch of
the diaphragm, or its Importance in the
human economy. They understand
the influence of the moon upon the
tides, but of the influence of the
medulld OblOngdtd upon their power to
breathe and make coordinate move
ments, they are proudly ignorant. A
young lady belonging to the senior
class in large university, had occa-
sion, few days ago, to consult Il ply
sician. She is bright and shining
member of her class. She knows Latin,
Spanish, and Greek, to say nothing of
French and German. 1t would be only
an amusement for her to work ont the
problem of finding the circumference
of circle, whose radius is unity,
whose circumscribed square is four,
and the inscribed square two she has
studied all the "ologies" except physi-
olOgy; she can tell you the difference
between isOmeric and metdmeric bodies,
and can talk learnedly of miOcene and
pliOcene.
The doctor asked her about one of
the most common functions of the
body. The young lady looked nom
plussed.
81 guess that is part of my body
that | am not acquainted WITH" she
said mt length, gravely. And it was
not part of her body at all, only a
function of certain organs.
1t is well for girls and boys to be
educated in science, art and literature;
but, after all, would it not be wise to
first learn something practical about
that wonderful gift of divine wisdom
to each one of us, the body, wherein
our immortal spirit dwells9 OF how
much less benefit is it to be able to
discuss the properties of ethyl and
methyl than to know where the liver
| is located and what are its functions
We may live long and be usefnl and
| happy without il knowledge of circum-
scribed or inscribed squares; but we
can neither be very happy nor of great
use to the world without sound, healthy
bodies The first, the most important
and the most practical aid in acquire
ment of all desirable learning Is in
dicated by the two words, "knOw thy
self"

RLAINE MEN WIN.

The Republican Members of the Yale
 Kent Club Vindicated - The Club Passes Through a Severe Parlia-
 mentary Struggle aud Endorses the
 Winning Ticket.
 Fifty embryo lawyers, members of the Yale Law school, wound their way up to their lecture room last evening everyone with Roberts Rules of Order tucked in his pock- ct. It meant business. A week ago while the Republican members of the Kent club were parading the Democratic members packed meeting and passed series of reso- Iutions pledging the Law school to the en- dorsement of Cleveland. The resolutions were scattered broadcast through the city and New York press as a good campaign card. The Republican majority in the club could only grin and bear it, but they awaited a ,vindication. They won it last evening after sharp parliamentary battle with the opposition party. The course was the rejection and expurging from the records of the political action of a pre- vious meeting. This the Democrats opposed by every obstruction and maneuver that rules of order can devise. Guns of heavy and light calibre were brought into action; party attacks were bravely made and as gal lantly repulsed; the air was thick with wit, sarcasm and retort. The contest was waged fercely for two hours, when ''our friends, the enemy" yielded to superior management and numbers and the Republicans were vindi cated. The Kent club which embraces the whole school, now poses as Republican stronghold, and may be relied upon to sup port the Republican candidates by large majority.

The hall was crowded, and the ladies in charge of the vari- ous articles on sale were very attentive to their patrons The articles to be disposed of by lot, which were very fine, were literally subscribed for and the voting on articles to be disposed of to the most popular ladies, gen tlemen and societies was equally satisfactory.

A Sad Bereavement.

Mr and Mrs. James Barrett, of Westville, have the sympathy of many friends in the sad bereavement that has taken their little daughter Mamie from the home in which she was so bright light for the twelve years she had passed on earth. The little girl died suddenly on Sunday evening of heart disease and the fact that her condition gave no indi- cation of her coming demise brings an addi- tional pang to the stricken parents. MT. Barrett has charge of the stables at the aims house. The funeral will take place this af- ternoon at o'clock, and will doubtless be largely attended

General Parsons Makes a Reply TO
 Butler.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-General W. H. Par sons, of Baltimore, has written lengthy re- ply to General Buffers dispatch to ex-Sena- tor Grady in which he repeats the charge that Buffers personal campaign is being con ducted in doubtful States under the direction and at the expense of the National Republi- can committee. General Parsons says that the epithet of fraud" applied to himself was altogether unwarranted and was "culled from Buffers choice vocabulary of abuse and misrepresentations, through which he hopes to avoid criticism for his intended perfidy to the National and Anti Monopoly parties which nominated him for the presi- dency and thereby gave him an opportunity to sell his services to the Republican nominee and thus gratify his desire for revenge upon Cleveland
 Carl Schurz In Hartford.
 HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. 20.-The recep- tion and ovation to Hon. Carl Schurz in this city was unprecedented in the history of po- litical demonstrations in this city. Allyn Hall was crowded with Germans and Inde- pendent Republicans who gave him an en- thusiastic reception. Hon. Samuel L. Clem- ems (Mark Twain) presided In introducing Carl Schurz he made enthusiastically hu- speech in opening, but seriously de- fined his position in the present campaign as to theeorrupt character of Blaine. MT. Schurz gave mainly repetition of his famous Brooklyn speech, but took H. B. Harrison, the Republican nominee for Gov ernor, to task for his speech in which he lauded Blaine as "a statesman without spot, stain or blemish.'' He made a deep impress sion on the audience. After the meeting he 4oI tO tbo a1,,l> bo was serenaded by an immense number of German citizens, for which he merely re- turned thanks.

 FORT WAYNE, Ind. Oct. 20.-Blaine's visit here to-day was overshadowed by grand Democratic demonstration. General Her man Lieb, of Chicago, was the principal speaker for the Democrats. MT. Blaine at tempted to speak from the veranda, but cheers for Cleveland drowned his voice and the Republican managers took him into the hall. Over fifty thousand people are in the city. Both parties made afternoon and evening parades. Over a dozen cases of pocket picking are reported to the police. A Republican stock dealer was robbed of S190 at the Lake Shore depot just as MT. Blaine left the train. MT. Blaine rested this evening. He expressed to reporter his an- noyance at his treatment and is peevish to- night. An amusing feature of the day was the parade of one hundred and fifty travelling men wearing Belva Lockwood badges. The city is rather excited tonight.
