REPTILES.
Reason why They Are Inaccessible TO Iu-
man sympathy.

Reason why They Are Inaccessible TO iIu-
man sympathy.
A reptile is not, perhaps, an amiable
thing. Its name-'that which crccpS'
prejudices one against il. We would
as soon make friends off-hand with \
ghoul or vampire rs with Il reptile.
Nor is there anything thoroughly un-
justitiable in this sentiment. The ne
cessities of speech require word that
shall compendiousiy express the idea
of the contemptible and crawling, and
at the same time potentially hurtful.
And reptile fuliils this obnoxious
duty. SO when Beattie applies this
term of repruach 10 a servilc poet. or
Byron to mean critic, they are not TO
be found fault with. The sycophant in
Shelley, the slave in Montgomery. even
man-"thc poor reptile man himself
in loftily moralizing Groome are
metaphorically rendered. and not un-
fairly. by Il term that zoologically
implies either a turtle, a crocodile, a
frog, lizard or a snake. Scatteredup
and down in verse will be found scores
Of individuals whom the poets, anxious
to stigmatize as despicably base, de-
nominate reptiles.
Now. all this is perfectly fair. We
have attached to certain word a GER
tain metaphorical meaning. which is a
very odous one. Thus. Bismarck calls
the secret-service budget 1.-THE reptile
fund" an, he Man of Iron includes in
It all such miserable creatures as venal
editors and spies. The self-seehing
parasite. the insidious hypocrite, the
cringing slave. deserve the worst We
can say of them, and as We have de-
cided that there is nothing worse to be
said of such than reptile-reptiles let
them be. Gentleman s Magazine.

The capture of the Peruvian capital by
Gen CacereS appears to be an authentic
event of Yesterday. and the fall of Lima
and the future of Peru as effected by il are
the subjects of speculation throughout the
whole world. CacereS has conquered
Igle~ias in battle. but can he also conquer at
the polls? 4 commission is now
in charge of the government and
orders have been issued for holding cleo
tons. and the people will soon have an

rlusiun of the treaty of peace with Chill,
was compelled 10 fight 10 prevent the i'm

MEDICINE IN SCHOOLS.
Preventive Medicine the Coming Glory I
the Medical Profession,

Preventive Medicine the Coming Glory Of
the Medical Profession,
Such thing would once have been
looked on as absurd In ancient times
the doctor purposely invested his art
with mystery. More or less of the
same spirit and policy has come down
to our own day. Still, both the tenden-
cies and actualities of things have
greatly changed. Not only have other
sciences laid richest gifts at the feet of
medicine. but the latter has fully en-
tered into their enlarged spirit,
and accepted their more accurate
methods of investigation. In short,
medicine has itself. for the first time
in its long history, become a science.
We now understand as never before
the nature and origin of epidemical
diseases; their relation to bad sur
roundings in place and person; the
prominence of drinking infected water
as a source of contagion; the value of
disinfectants. as distinguished from
mere deodoriZers, and which of them
alone are absolutely reliable; the still
greater di>infecting power of pure air
and sunshine
We have learned to fight with sue
cess a threatening epidemic by concen-
trating our force on the first solitary
case, hedging it around by removal of
the well from the sick. or the sick from
the well. We understand. too, the
importance OF good house drainage. and
the danger of poor plumbing. We also
know that the air of the chamber is
never better than the air Of the cellar.
We have come 10 comprehend the pos
sibilitv of stamping ont the whole class
of infectious diseases. The profession.
to their honor, for it takes away their
patients, is recognizing the truth of
the old maxim, An ounce of preven-
ton is worth pound Of cure.
Now all this has rendered it practic-
able to avail ourselves of our public
schools in promoting the public health.
This is already being done. For the
last year medical instruction has been
given in the schools of Bangor, Me,
with the result Of preventing the spread
of disease among the scholars.
Saws the Mcjicci RroorG: The ma
ture of the instruction given is such
that the teachers are made watchful
and careful in regards TO their pupils,
and often a so-called 'spunky' fit is
seen to be really the precursor of an
actual sickness. The practical inau-
guration OF such plan of instruction
is not a difficult matter. Let the Board
of Education organize the teachers Of
each grammar school into class to
meet in their own building. Plenty Of
able men in the profession will yolun-
teer their services as lecturers.
Preventive medicine is the coming
glory Of the profession. ."-Youth's COM

present law of presidential succession is un-

that he should he that officer. Ii is pro

removed or till the vacancy caused by that
