The movement now making to prevail upon
law q requirement that elementary physiology
and hygiene be taught, with especial refer
ence to the effects Of alcoholic drinks, slim
ulants and narcotics upon the human system,
should receive that attention and considera-
ton it deserves. Without reference to prohi-
bition, high license, low license or no license
at all, this Is a question that is of interest
to every child, and particularly to
male children, since they are more
likely to take to the inordinate
and dangerous use of stimulants and narcot-
les. If We are to have drinking and smoking,
as we probably shall for some time to come, it
were wise to understand what physiological eff
feet these practices have upon the human sys-
TEN. That they often do exert a harmful ef-
feet upon the body and brain cannot be de-
MED, and while some seem to escape these
penalties, the rule is that all who smoke or
drink steadily must experience harm,
the degree Of which often includes
insanity and death. These facts are
so we'll established as to be generally admit
ted. This being the case, it would seem
imperative that those having the public vel
fare in their care should thoroughly advise
tho youth on this most important subject. If
the System be already overloaded, much Of
it could prO6tably be "unloaded' to make
room for this. Let some Of the ornamental
be sacrificed in the interest of the practical.
Several other States have moved in this direc-
ton. and it is time Indiana did the same.

Nor long since it was announced in the papers
that the honest farmers in the Connecticut val
ley had decided that real country butter was too
rich for the blood of their city customers, and,
therefore, mixed the product Of the churn with
a liberal addition Of oleomargarine. The dis
covery is now made that Now Jersey farmers
have adopted the same system. This fact re-
flutes the frequent assertion that country people
do not read the papers as, Of course, the oleo-
margarine idea would not have occurred stimuli
taneously to so many simple-mined people.
This wide adoption of new suggestions seems a
new argument, however, in favor of more care
full revision of news, and the omission of all
hints like the one mentioned.

THE Rev. DR.. Scott, of San Francisco, lately
deceased, says in his will that he loves his theo-
logical books as his best friends, and hopes to
meet their authors in heaven. He bequeaths
the books to a seminary of that city if it remains
thoroughly Presbyterian, if not they are to go
to a certain church organization concerning the
orthodoxy of which he seems to entertain no
doubts. DR.. Scott has, perhaps, met the shades
of the theological writer's by this time and has
found their once thoroughly Presbyterian opin-
not now regard them as proper custodians for
their own works.

A CONGREGATIONAL church in Massachusetts
petitioned the Legislature to allow a Miss Baker,
who breaches, but is not allowed full minis
terial privileges. to solemnize marriages The
petition was not granted for the reason, as stated
by one of the committee to whom it was re-
ferred, that if the church would fully ordain
their ministers according to their usual rules she
could perform marriage ceremonies whenever
she got a chance, without any special legislative
enactment. AS the church in question was po-
sing as a particular friend of woman, this COM
ment may be considered rather a neat slap, and
also conveys something of a lesson to women
who want more rights. If they will direct their
attention to the subjugation Of the churches,
whose women so largely outnumber the now
ruling sex, they will find that barriers which
now block the way in several directions will no
longer offer resistance.

THERE is a woman living near Trenton, n. j.,
whom all the little girls who hear about her will
wish to be like when they grow up. Six months
ago she suddenly lost her appetite, though she
had no other symptoms OF illness. She was I'M
able to eat anything ct all, and lived on water
for ten days. Physicians were called. who pre-
scribed medicines which did no good. She was
not sick, but simply could not eat though tempt
ed by all kinds of dainty food. Finally some
one suggested ice cream, which she tried, and
found that she could eat with relish. Upon ice
cream and mint candy, which also proved palat-
able to her, the woman has subsisted for six
months without apparent inconvenience. When
she found these articles satisfactory, she dis
missed the doctors. telling them they might as
we'll stop coming, as she was as we'll as any one,
and would DO happy if she could feel as comfort
able all her life as she did then. Cream and
candy are cheap as anything" she further re.
marked, 'tand why not live on them if they agree
with met" During this period the woman, who
is a farmers wife, has continued to perform her
usual household duties, apd, though she has lost
considerable flesh, having been stout, is now the
picture of health, and looks as if her diet was

example before their very eyes, the mothers of

ONE of two things is quite certain: Ohio men
are very fascinating, or Kentucky girls are ex-
tremely susceptible. On last Thursday Charles
M. Ware, of Dayton, O., on recommendation of
a certain friend, made a visit to Louisville, and
called on Miss Mary E.. Terry, whom he had
never seen before. In the language of the street,
it was a.dead mash on sight. Ware asked Miss
Terry to marry him, and made himself extreme
ly solid by asking that the ceremony take place
that evening. The lady played the pretty con-
fusion act, and asked time to think. She evil
IDENTIFY thought to some purpose, for on
Saturday night they were married. "A
Louisville girl is noted for her presence of mind.
But, while Kentucky maidens are not slow in
closing a bargain that results in marriage, their
Tennessee sisters are decidedly averse to being
left in the race to the matrimonial goal. Take
the case of Polly Graham, of Sevierville, in the
the latter named State. Elias Campbell was in
love with Polly, and had doubtless told her so.
But Willis Graham, the father Of the maiden,
did not love Elias, and probably told him so, in
addition to forbidding him the house. But
Elias kept coming whenever chance afforded,
until, a few nights ago, Mr.. Willis came home
unexpectedly and found the pair eating
supper together. This was too much
for him, and he forcibly elected the lover. This,
in turn, was too much for Polly, and she took
down the family rifle and shot her father through
the heart, clipping then with the man of her
choice. The method she chose to silence the OBJ
~jections of an unreasonable parent were certain
ly effective, though hardly Of a kind for general
adoption.
