Not one. But Two.

The old notion that the man and
wife are One--and that the man is the
''onen has received sad blow in Cali
fornia. Too Cheong, a Chinaman resi-
dent in that State, having taken GER
tificate which entitled him to return
went to China and got him wife from
the almond-eyed maidens of the Flow
cry Kingdom. Bathed in bliss-the
only true bath true Celestial permits
himself-Too returned to San Francis
co with his blushing bride. As he pre-
pared to land he was met by the stern
official of the Custom House, who posi-
lively forbade Madame Too to set her
ridiculously distorted foot on Califor-
nian soil. The Restriction act was
''agin it, he said, in substance; and
without a certificate from her Govern
ment required for Chinese non-laborers
she could not land. Too Cheong could
go ashore; but Mrs. Too must return.
In vain Too urged that he and his
wife were one, as he had often been
told on his American soiourn. The
Custom House officer could not see the
matter in that sentimental light OFF,
cially he was compelled to look upon
them in an arithmetic light, and in that
aspect they certainly were two.
The courts were appealed to, but the
courts also took an arithmetic view of
the matter. One Judge held that the
wife did not take the status of her hus-
band, and being non-laborer could
not come In under the Restriction act.
Another Judge held that the wife did
take the status of the husband and be-
came laborer by marrying laborer.
But being laborer she came also un-
der the Restriction act and could not
land.
This is hard on the. particular China
man and Chinawoman involved; but it
is an advantage to the world at large
to know that the old-time doctrine as
TO .'onenessn in marriage is no longer
held. 1t is only another instance of the
individual suffering for the benefit of
the race.

ways leaking out by means of the point.
Then it was seen that if you made your
lightning rods pointed at the end you
would be able in the same way to dis
sipate your electricity before it ever
had time to come to a head in heshape
of lightning. From that moment the
thunderbolt was safely dead and bur-
led. 1t was urged, indeed, that the at
tempt thus to rob heaven of its thun-
ders was wicked and impious; but the
common sense of mankind refused to
believe that absolute omnipotence
could be sensibly defied by twenty
yards of cylindrical iron tubing.
1t is not so well known that the brain
and spinal cord are apparently con-
ductors, and hence a lightning stroke
on the head does not materially injure
the brain beyond shattering the brains
and causing temporary arrangement.
Most persons struck by lightning do
not remember anything about the
stroke, but others describe a sensation
such as would be caused by their being
struck heavy blow, and some have
ikened the shock to what they would
be supposed to feel if torn into small
pieces. C0T7lhiI Magazine.

rHE BOY OF THE PERIOD.
some EpIgrams from Mrs. Livermore's
Lecture.

There is type of people affecting
Anglomania who say America is big,
but not large.
There is no fixed type of American.
We are too heterogeneous for that; it
will come by and by.
The type of manhood called the
American viii be the strongest, man
Iiest, holiest, best.
You can only make beautiful bronzes
by mixing many fine metals.
In America the great aristocracy is
that of money. 1t would seem as if the
nation were up for sale.
Every nation has its besetting sin, as
every individual has his.
We have had before us few hundred
years ago, drunken ancestry. Their
heaven was an eternal drinking saloon,
and the tendency remains in us.
The American boy comes into the world
with such history before him as no
Greek or Roman boy ever looked upon.
The American boy has it in his power
TO clutch almost anything he may strive
for.
It is possible for him to attain mod
crate amount of wealth honestly.
At the age of 80 he can look on his
fortune with the consciousness that
there is not dirty dollar in it, and
that at so is a great thing to be able
to do.
The gIamor of life is gone at So
Before we are-aware of it our boys
stand in mems places, but their char
acters are not formed, and they have
temptations that our forefathers never
knew.
The majority of boys are strong in
their sense Of power at an early age.

Petrihed Girl.

a young lady living in the vicinity Of
North East, named Lizzie Patterson,
has been relieved from life of suffer-
ing, which for fifteen years had not an
al1eyiating circumstance. When a girl
at the age of 10 she was stricken with
rheumatism. A season of treatment at
the hands of the most skilled physicians
failed to relieve the sufferer At the
age of fifteen her muscles became so
rigid that the power of locomotion was
entirely destroyed. Since then she was
confined to her bed and chair, and was
unable to do herself the slightest SER
vice. Five years ago the muscles be-
came 50 hard that the joints of the low
er limbs could not work. The fibrous
tissues of the arms and hands were next
affected, so that they were entirely use
less, and soon like the lower limbs
were no semblance to the human anat-
omy. A year ago the muscles control
ling the head and neck were contorted
so as to draw the head out of shape.
The muscles in the face then hardened
and closed the lower jaw so tight that
teeth had 10 be removed in order to
make an aperture through which food
could be introduced.
To give the patient even moderate
amount of food required three hours
work, during which time the effort at
swallowing caused excruciating pain.
Vomiting and suffocation finally, oaus-
ed death. Miss Patterson was 20 years
of age, and at the time of her death
she was actually petrified with disease.
The case is exciting great interest in
the medical profession. = CincinnGi

Boys do not receive the moral train
ing that they ought. In fact, the girls
do not.
The boy is an upsetting thing in the
house.
He has holy horror of being useful
about the house.
With all his fault he is loyeable, and
the hearts of tho women go out to him.
There is scarcely day in my life that
do not receive the testimony OF some
men as to the worth of their mothers to
them.
There is in these lads of ours high
sense of honor and manliness when
young.
What happens between then and when
they stand in the criminals dockp
Someone has failed in their training.
Every mother must give her boy a
careful training in personal morality.
Nature never pardons.
Though all men in the world may
teach that there is difference between
private and public morality, do not ac--
cept that doctrine for moment.
Every boy should be taught to respect
womanhood.
If a lad does not get his social train
ing early in life he never gets it. This
is why we find great men sometimes
exceedingly ill-bred.
Every boy should be trained to be an
American citizen-and so should every
girl.-iSt LouiS Globe Democrat.

THE TURKISH BATH.
Its HygIenic EHects-opinIons Of DR.. HAM
mond.


Much of the literature on the subject
of the Turkish bath owes its origin to
those who are financially interested in
the success of the baths As such is,
of course, to be regarded with o GER
tain degree of skepticism. In order to
get the opinion of high and disinterest-
ed medical authority in the matter, DIR.
William A. Hammond was called upon
In response to the question. as the
Turkish bath always beneficial in its
effectsp DR.. Hammond said: THE
Turkish bath is generally beneficial to
person in good health. Always is a
word which never occurs in q physi-
clans vocabulary. Thus the layman
might say that strawberries were al
ways healthful, but the physician knows
that the generally harmless strawberry
when eaten by certain persons viii pro-
duce q most violent eruption of the skin.
am justified in saying, then, that the
Turkish bath is generally beneficial, al
though have known cases in which .
serious arrangement of the body func-
tions had resulted from single bath =
In what cases are the baths most
injuriousp"
elm all cases where there IS ten
deney to heart disease. Men have died
in the bath from the aggravation Of this
trouble produced by it. No one should
enter the hot room for flie first time
without having had his heart examined

The PhiIosophy o LIshtnlng Roels.

A lightning conductor consists es-
sentially of long piece of metal point
ed at the end, whose business it is, not
so much Gas most people imagine) to
carry off the flash of lightning harm
.lessly, should it happen to strike the
house to which the conductor is at
taehed, but rather to prevent the oc-
currence of a flash at all, by gradually
and gently drawing off the electricity
as fast as it gathers, before it has had
time TO collect in sufficient force for a
destructive discharge. 1t resembles in
its effect an overhowing pipe which
drains off the surface water of a pond
as soon as it runs in in such manner
as to prevent the possibility of an in
undation which might occur if the wa
ter were allowed to collect in force be-
hind dam or embankment. It is q
hcod-gate, not a moat; it carries away
the electricity of the air quietly to the
ground without allowing it to gather
in sufficient amount to produce a flash
of lightning. It might thus be better
called a lightning prevention than a
lightning conductor; it conducts cleo
tricity, but prevents lightning. At
first, all lightning rods used to be made
with knobs on the top, and then the
electricity used to gather at the sur
face until the electric force was suffi-
cient to cause a spark. In those hap
py days you had the pleasure Of seeing
that the lightning was actually being
drawn off from your neighborhood
piecemeal. Knobs it was held. must
be the best things, because you could
incontestably see the sparks striking
them with yoqk eyes hut g time
