Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, all efforts of inventors have
been directed to construct lamp for general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved is that none OF
the inventors could rid themselves of the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to
the system Of producing 1.-THE Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, in
stead Of first laying down the principle that a
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, must be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator OF Elec-
tricity in itself, e., in the foot Of the Lamp.
The Norman Electric Light Company has
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about complete revolution in all
branches of lighting.
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or FIVE days with acid The cost
Of lighting will be as cheap as gas N cents
per hour, and it has before the latter the inn
mense advantage Of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains at the same
degree of temperature. 1t is further abso-
lutey inodorous, and does not need to be
kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
of fire, explosion or suhocation, as in the case
Of gas, if the key is left open and it must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invalu'
able. 1t is further preferable to any known
kind of lighting for the following reasons :.
~ Its manipulation is so simple that any
child can keep it in order.
(2) That the Lamp is portable, and can be
removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place
to another.
(3) That it neither requires the disagree
able fixing of the wick, or the cleaning OF the
cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps.
(4) That the light produced is a soft and
most steady one that il never fickers, and
the fame, though being equal in power o
lighting to gas, can be regulated to any de
gree.
(5,) That every danger Of fire is absolutely
excluded, as the light will extinguish immedi
ately, if by any accident the glass surrounding
the burner should be broken.
(6.) That it will burn, even in the stronges
wind, completely unaffected, thus being in
valuable for Examinations, lighting Of gardens
corridors, etc.
This Lamp is constructed for the present il
three different sizes

"A Sense OF Honor.

The following is taken from an edi-
torial in The Century for December:
"There is little doubt that the thing
which most needs to be preached to
this generation of Americans, by min
listers of the gospel, by both clerical
and lay instructors of the youth, by all
who have public influence or private
authority, ia sense of honor! 1t must
be shown and insisted upon that every
position in life where one person IS en-
ployed by another to do certain work,
imposes an obligation to fulfill the du-
ties of the place with an honorable and
disinterested regard for the interests OF
the employer. 1t must be shown that
this view of employment applies to the
cook, the errand-boy, the cashier, the
legislator, the Governor, the President.
This is trite, and apparently simple,
and perhaps somewhat stupid view OF
the opportunities of a 'smart" and
ambitious young American Of our day.
but unless this commonplace view OF
responsibility is laid hold of by increas-
ING numbers in the future of our coun-
try, we will not say that our society
will 60 to pieces, but we will say that
our calamities will increase, and that
we will get into troubles, and not soon
out of them, compared with which the
dangers and distress of the past will
seem almost insignificant.
One man in Northern Wisconsin sent
sixty deer carcasses to the Milwaukee
market in one day.

Completely Cured.

"Hallucinationr' said DR.. jerks.
"Knew man once who thought his
legs were made of glass. Lived down
East. An old, wealthy dyspeptic bach
elor. / think the idea about his legs
was the result of dyspepsia. Anyway
he was so afraid of having his legs
broken that he cried out whenever any
one approached the bed. There was
an old doctor in the vicinity, who was
half mad himself, and this old fellow
determined to cure him. One day he
called and asked the old man to come
outfor a drive. OF course thesold fell
low was Mortified, but the doctor in,
sisted, and he at last consented to 90.
4 bed was made up in the doctors con-
veyance, and the dyspeptic carried out
and tenderly laid in it. They drove off
and about, until over a hill little dis
tan9e off they saw the stage coming.
"Then the. doctor, by a dexterous
twist of the lines, overturned the buggy
and tumblcd the old man out into the
. middle of the road. OF course he cried
out that be was done for, but the doc
tor riglIted his buggy and drove off,
! leaving him squirming in the middle of
the road, and quite unable to move,
owing to glass legs. Suddenly he was
alarmed by y shout, and saw the stage
come tearing down the slope, heading
straight for him. He gesticulated, but
the doctor had fixed things with the
driver, and the stage came right along.
Well, the old fellow stpedTits until the
stage was only a fswsfeef away. Then
he jumped up end ran ran clear back
to town and was never bothered with
glass legs again. - Detroit Times.

ENTERPRlsING CINCINNATI YOUTHS.
They Would HE Them Away and Become
Hold Bandits.

CINCINNATI, March S0-It has been dis
covered that four boys attending the second
intermediate school, sons of wealthy citizens,
had planned to run off to Texas and become
stage-coach robbers and cowboys. The
other day Miss Hoyt a teacher, left
her room for short time, and
soon Miss HARDWOOD, another teacher,
heard wild uproar in the room. There
were screams, shrieks, and a general clamor.
She went in to see what was the matter and
was Mortified to find several of the big boys
chasing each other around with revolvers,
while the girls were white with fear. As
she entered the boys pointed their weapons
at her. The principal was called, and
he disarmsd them, and the father
of the ringleader was summoned. He
searched his son, and two long bowie
knives were found upon him. In his desk
were found two more revolvers, and he said
he had two shot guns concealed in con-
vsnisnt place. Little by little it was learned
that the four boys had planned to run away
early in May, AMI were getting an arsenal
ready for the expedition. One Of the lads
was to furnish the money, no having ar
ranged to sell his bicycle and one of his
fathers COWS. The boys have been taken
from school and set to hard work.

Menta, differences Among Children.

What then, remains to be donep Is
the most important measure of i'm
movement in school management to be
piven ND as forever hopelessP We
have said that this defect OF our school
system is attracting serious attention,
and calling forth sharp criticism, but
is this to avail nothing for future relief?
We are not driven to this alternative,
for the sufficient reason that there are
men in the community well prepared
to deal inteligently and efficiently with
the subject. 1t is the especial business
of medical men to understand the hui
man constitution, and all their know
LEDGE relates to what the school system
ipnores-the peculiarities of the indiyi-
dual. Diagnosis, critical personal OBJ
seryation, is the basis of all medical
practice. Moreover, there is an especial
branch of medical study that bears
directly and Immediately on the ques-
ton here involved. There are physi-
clans who give their lives to the inves-
tigation of mental science with
reference to it's corporeal conditions
and its problem of health and disease.
They are the students of insanity, and
all the causes which tend to undermine
mental soundness and produce feeble
mindedness in it's innumerable forms.
These are the men prepared to judge of
the working of school system upon
the natures of children, and it is impos-
sible to see that any reason can be Of
fered for not invoking their services to
this important end Yet, strange to
say, our school authorities are the first
to resist this reasonable policy. They
resent the idea that their system is not
already working in perfection, and
they virtually maintain that the ignor-
ance of teachers and school officials is
just as good for practical guidance as
the knowledge and experience of men
especially cultivated to deal with cases
which are constantly arising, where
pupils become the victims of an undis-
eliminating high-pressure system OF
