Raner Pads.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 One of the particular grievances brought out in the discussion of school matters dur ing the last campaign was the Ego as you Rlease, course= of the superintendent and Pr1ncipals in introducing new modes, books and equipment into ouz schools without the sanction of the Beard of Education. With the new regime, the result of that contest, the people were led to hope that this out rageous practice would be stopped, or, at 1east be so carefully guarded that there would be no farther ground for complaint. The case seems otherwise. Some enterprising pub fisher has conceived the idea: and carried 1t to fulfllment, of supplying pads of: paper upon the top of which printed mathe- nautical problems for the use of schools. The idea is not a bad one, by the way. By some process, best known to the superin tendent and principals, those pads have been introduced into schools, and each pupil is or dered to supply themselves with one or sui fer in the mysterious grade of marking now in vogue in the schools The introduction of this pad is virtually new text book in mathematics by which the teachers spared the task ot giving extra problems if needed above those in the text books. The price of the pad as retailed by the principal of one school is ten cents, although some of our booksellers are retailing it at eight cents. We are not aware that it is obligatory upon pupils to purchase of principals, but baing on the ground he can naturally catch good trade
 What authority has the superintendent or the principals to impose this extra tax upon the peoples At eight cents apiece for these pads there is good margin.
 The subject presents 50 many objeetien- able sides that it is difficult to tell which is the greatest. In the first place it shows an utter lawlessness and disregard of the rights of the people or the authority of the Board of Education The people have entrusted the affairs of the education of the children to g school board in which they have confidence. If this book or that manual is deemed necessary by the board for the best equipment of the schools and the progress of the pupils, the decision is accepted and the requirement cordially and cheerfully accepted to, but when it presents the aspect of money making enterprise and reduces itself to series of petty extor- tions they are naturally and rigntfully rebel lions CITIZEN.

How beautiful are the above lines uttered by the worlds greatest mind {! How infinite the scope of mans power if his facul- ties are we'll preserved. Nothing, short Of creation, is to him impossible. Our soul is lost in admiration when we contemplate the possibilities of this greatest exhibition of Infinite Pow CT. Yet what is this quint- essence of dust when blast ed by disease-his noble functions perverted or des- trOyed?
 AS ssall men are born f..en.a.,lz azx s.a 5, -e,esz zee..-szzzzz moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should be born physically, but as long as children must suf- fer for the sins of their parents this cannot be. That the human race has deteriorated physically is conceded question. To re- store it is an impossibiiity, as long as people persist i'll immor- aiity and indulgencies which are in disregard of natures laws. The most we can do then is te ame'iorate this condition and cure disease ill individuals.
 To this end we offer to the pub lie remedies which have done more goed, accomplished better results in Oyerthrowing disease than any others which have been discovered up to the present time, viz:
 DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE AND NERVE PILLS.
 The former is an infallibie rem edy for all affections of the Liver and Stomach, and is besides an invaluable general tonic. The latter is reliable cure for all nervous diseases and conditions, such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous ProstratiOn, Depression caused by Oyerwork, etc.
 These remedies are seXtensive- ly prescribed by physicians, 8 recommendation which does not obtain with. any other pr0pFie- tary article, and command at the hands Of the druggists iii New England largr sale than any other medicine.
 IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BOTTLES SOLD THERE HAS NOT BEEN 4 SINGLE COMPLAINT THAT THEY FAILED TO DO WHAT IS CLAIMED FOR THEM. This we hold is an unparalleled record of success, and the strongest proof of their excellence. AS positive evidence we have thousands of testimonials which we will be pleased to show. but which space prevents publishing. The trial of one bottle will be sufficient to satisfy you that we make no false claims. A valuable pamphlet will be mailed free upon appiica- tiOn.

 Dr. Bartlett followed with the exhibition of specimens of the lizard family, obtained from Yucatan, i'll connection with which he presented letters and afhdavits he had re- ceived in reference to a species of snake which is said to infest the Illinois prairies. The letters were from Mrs. Triall and Mrs. Buell., of Rockport, H., and in them they claimed to have recently seen a snake about their flower bed known as the glass or joint ed snake, which upon their appearance stood erect upon it's tail. Mrs. Triall approached the reptile, she says, and struck 1t with a stick, whereupon it fell into four distinct pieces The part containing the head wrig- gled around for awhile, and in an instant al most she observed that it gathered up the other pieces, as an engine making up train of cars, and speedily moved off as If noth- ing had happened, the pieces all restored. Mrs Buell. added her testimony and affidavit to the truthfulness of the statement and Rev T. J. Keller, Campbellite preacher of the same place, backed both of their state ments by saving that he had often seen the same strange phenomena in that section He related one instance where the snake had been broken into four pieces, and where the head had wriggled off q distance of some ten feet and moment later returned, when ali of the parts were restored to their former  ing the absence of the head he said he exam ined the other parts, found them hard and free from blood or other matter, and in con clusion he expressed considerable surprise that the phenomena related was not general ly known and accepted as true.
 Dr. Andrews said he had taken some pains to inquire into the story and had found the atfiants earnest, reputable people, and he had no reason to doubt their entire sincerity nor yet that they actually believed that they had seen what they narrated. He could not, however, dispel few doubts he had on the entire subject. In the first place he regard ed it as improbable for snake to stand erect upon it's tail; then, again, he could not con- vince himself of the possibility of the bow els, arteries and spinal cord of the snake, or anything else, being suddenly separated ex- cept at the cost of life, much less of the pos sibility of their being united, as had been claimed Other members shared in the same opinions and agreed that the evening had been one of unusual interest, to say the least, but nothing short of the presence of one of the remarkable snakes will satisfy the acade-

any boiler explosion has occurred
through experimenting i, must have
been through the concurrence Of ex.
ceptional circumstances. which are
neither defined, known nor suspected. !
The experiments have shown conclu'
sivelv that, however unaccountahle
explosions sometimes appear, the real
cause must be looked for N the simple
loading Of the boilers with steam pres

"The tip Of the tongue, remarks
Grant Allen, sis concerned manly
with pungent and acrid tastes; the
middle portion is sensitive chiefly to
sweets and btters while the back or
lower portion confines itself almost Ell
tirelv to the tlavors OF roast meats,
butter, oils, and other rich or fatty
substances. There are very good
reasons for this subdivision Of facul.
ties in the tongue, the object being,
as it were, to make each piece OF
food undergo three separate examin-
atoms, which must be successfully
passed before it is admitted into full
participation in the human economy.
The first examination gets rid Ut once
of substance which would be actively
and Immediately destructive to the
very tissues of the mouth and body:
the second discrimnates between
poisonous and chemically harmless
food.stufi.: and the third mcrel y
decides the minor question whether
the particular food is likely to prove
then aud there wholesome or indiges-
tible to the particular person."
\ matter Of surprise and wonder to
those who witness it for the first time
is the rousng to lie OF whole colonies
of infusoria by the addition If drop
Of water to a few grains OF earth or

abound everywhere in water contain
ing deco.nposing vegetable or animal
matter, and some forms may, in a

years apparently dead, to be revived
