A Change Of Policy.

China is devoting what time it can
spare from the discussion of its struggle
with France to the consideration of a
decree which has been issued by the
Empress to the effect that, whenever
the time serves, railways will be per-
mitted in China This announcement
has created no little excitement, and
has excited lively spirit of opposition
on the part of several sections of
Chinese society. The literati. the
walkers in old ways, the respecters Of
the past, are dead against the innova-
ton. Confucius made no allusion to
railways in his writings. and as. had he
approved of them, he would doubtless
have said SO. this is in their eyes final.
The class who objects to the introduce
ton of European ways and customs are
even more averse to the change, but the
chief and by far the most serious oppo-
sition will come from the very numerous
class who obtain their living by the
navigat on of the rivers and canals
which form the thoroughfares of China.
These regard the introduction of rail-
ways as q direct attack upon their
means of getting . livelihood.-M y.

were taken into account and marked on
scale of eight Prof. Sophocles, after
a moments thought, rather curtly re-
piled: It's three Perceiving the stu
dent look of disgust. he asked: Would
you like to know your mark for next
month? Well. that's three also.' An
other day in recitation. the class failed
to distinguish clearly enough between
the uses of the Greek negative particles.
One after another gave up in turn. till
the question was put to a man who hap
pened to remember the distinction as
given in the Professors Greek Gram
mar. Rising in his place. he gave the

THE VOICE FUNCTION.

In What Part OF the Human Anatomy Ii
Is Located.
Aphasia is disturbance of the pewer
of speech. 1t appears in two distinct
forms, viz, amnesic and ataxic aphasia.
The person suffering from amnesic
aphasia forgets substdntires and names,
other parts of speech being properly
used; or he forgets a language which
he once knew, or he misapplies terms,
'.using pamphlet for camphor. horse
for man." etc. In ataxic aphasia the
power of articulation is completely lost
The person understands fully the word
to be used, and makes vigorous effort to
use it, but is unable to do so. Some
times articulation is half destroyed. so
that the first part of the word can be
spoken, but not the other. Sometimes
automatic phrases can be uttered, such
as yes and no, while it is perfectly clear
that these EXPLANATIONS do not satisfy
the person. Another form of this
general trouble is agraphia, or the in
ability to express ideas in writing; this
is frequently complete, and all attempts
at writing end in a scrawl. 1t is notice
able that aphasia is sometimes. though
seldom. unaccompanied by insanity.
As early as 1861 Broca, in Paris, ex-
pressed the opinion that 'aphasia was
connected with disease in the third
frontal convolution. While q large
number of cases have been cited for and
against this conclusion, many patholo-
gists are disposed to regard it as sub
stantially correct. 1t would seem. just.
then. to connect these central functions
which are concerned in speech with the
peculiarly developed region of the
human brain that lies on the anterior
and lower limit of the Sylvan fissure. -

Our space will not permit Of mora
minute inquiry into other varieties of
neurotic poisons; suffice it to say that
in most instances arising from the ad-
ministration of any preparation of
opium, the antidotes above mentioned
are considered the most serviceable.
We must not omit to notice poisoning
by copper, which at times has arisen by
the employment of copper vessels for
cooking purposes, which never should
be employed in any household. The
first indications of copper-poisoning are
sudden attacks of gripping pains. aggra-
waited by pressure, often accompanied
by sickness and a peculiar sallow aspect
Of countenance. According to Ryan.
the white of egg is the best antidote for
poisonous preparations of copper. Lead
poisoning is usually owing either to
drinking water which has remained for
some time in leaden pipes, or by certain
avocations in which some preparation
of lead is used. Goulard water taken
by mistake causes lead-poisoning. Lead
collie is one of its leading symptoms.
which is relieved by pressure. Paraly-
sis of the limbs is another well-marked
indication. Sulphate of magnesia has
been recommended as an antidote. A
dram of sulphate of magnesia,
five drops of dilute sulphuric acid
and twenty drops of tincture of
hyosyamus in two tablespoonfuls of
camphor-water every two hours till the
bowels are relieved. and then thrice
daily for five days, is the treatment
which some consider most appropriate
under these circumstances.
