Presence OF Mind.

If boys require to be taught self-control,
dOubly so do girls. Having by nature
weaker nerves and u more vivid imagination,
they shrink from pain, suffering and danger
in fashion utterly unintelligible to their
brothers. But the more natural this shrink
ing is, the more carefully should they be
taught to govern it. Girls should ACQUIRE
at least the TudimentS of nursing, and learn
the best and easiest attainahle remedies for
the ordinary accidents OF daily life, Just as
certainly and as a matter of course as they
are taught TO sew and to read. Especially
should quiet and GOODNESS be impressed
upon them. Calmness is not insensibility,
though many people confOund them. A
girl is not heard-heaTted and unfeeling be-
cause the can witness painful sights, and if
need be lend a steady, firm hand to the doc
tor ornurse. On the contrary, she has usually
twenty times the sympathy and unselfsh
kindness of that delicate little damsel whq
has no command whatever over herself.

unintelligible to their more sober sisters,

sympathy with and comprehension of suf-
fering. But the sick-room is not the only
place where presence of mind is required.
Scarcely day passes when we do not more

ton that women should faint or go into

well exploded; still, even yet, the opposite
lesson might be more strongly inculcated.

THE RED GROSS.

The GLOBES Washington correspondent
gives in detail this morning the history of
the organization of the Red Cross as de-
tailed by Miss BARTON, who is at the head
OF the association i'm this country. The
Red Cross is an international organization,
organized at Geneva in 1864, but the United
States did not become party TO the treaty
until in 1882, being the thirty-second nation
that united with it. The reason why our
government delayed action in the matter is
explained by Miss BARTON. 1t was only
last September that the war department
made formal announcement of its adoption
and directed it TO be put in force. The eX-
hibition of the Red Cross flag at the
New Orleans exposition was the first
public exhibit of il as a part our military
service. As a measure of practical human
lty the Red Cross association is of incalcu-
liable value, and is a credit TO the humane
| civilization Of the age. In times of war
there have been hospital organizations at
tached to various armies, which gave ma
terial aid in caring for the sick and
wounded. But their charities were con-
fined almost exclusively 10 the armies TO
which they were attached. In times of
flood and pestilence relief committees have
been organized, which rendered valuable
temporary assistance. But it remained for
the Red Cross to take all mankind within
the limits of its operations, and TO
! devote its work TO ameliorating the
sufierings of war, plaques, floods,
famines and calamitieS of every
grade or condition. Its special work, how
ever. is on the battle field and i'm the military
camp, where the sick and wounded of what
ever army are recognized as neutral. and no
discrimination is allowed to be made. But
its work is not confined to the camp and the
battle field. The Red Cross was present At
the Michigan fire, where its charity was dis
pensed. 1t brought relief to the sufferers
of the Ohio and Mississippi floods. And if
the cholera or the plague should visit this
country we would better understand the
beauties of its humanity than we have ever
done. The world has cause TO thank GOD
that such women as Miss BARTON are per
mitted TO work in it. The decorations con-
ferred by earth's greatest kings and en-
perors are nothing TO compare with the
grateful homage of suffering humanity
which she has deserved and which will be
bestowed upon her. Her kingdom is in the
worlds heart and earth has no queen TO
rival her.

FAITH HEALING AFACT.

The London Lancet believes that faith
healing is a fact. 1t does not believe, how
ever, that ii is a religious function. nor is
there any miracle about it. The brain is
not simply the organ Of the mind it is also
the chief center, or series of centers, of the
nervous system by which the whole body is
eneTgized. and its component parts with
their several functions are governed and
regulated. According to the Lancet the
fallacy of those who proclaim faith healing
as a religious function lies in the fact that
they misunderstood and miSinteTpret theil
own formula. The Lancet says: 1T is the
faith tl.at heals, not the hypothecated
source. or object, of faith outside the sub
feet of faith. The whole process is self
contained. Nothing is done for the believer:
his act of believing is the motor force OF
his cure. We all remember the old trick OF
making man i'll by persistently telling him
he is iii until he believes it. The contrary
of this is making a man well by inducing
him to believe himself to be so. The num-
Der of the miracles performed viii be

area of this process to the province OF
functional disease; but we are not sure that
they are justified by scientific facts in max
ING this limitation. 1t must not be forgot
ten that function goes before organism in
development, and that there are large CLASSES
of eases in which the disabilities OF {

ance OF its functions are mainly due to q
want of power OF irregularity i'll action.
And it is a fact in pathology that if the

decent people regarded him. The
Times says the trial OF the two cases has
had good result in discrediting the pre-
tensions of expert alienists. Whenever the
defense of insanity is set up, alienists by
the dozen can be found to swear that man
is insane upon certain set of assumptions
given TO them in the form of hypothetical
questions, when in fact they know no more
about the matter than anybody else. An
opinion upon such question, to have the
authority of science, must be a deduction
from physical facts as Lunmistakable as the
evidence furnished by a dissection. One
mans guesses are as good as anothers, and
for one man to call his gueSses expert evil

Is gratifying to observe that Judge BAR
RETr treated these pretensions with the
disrespect they deserve.

American ReautY.

The Sun thinks that the types of womanly
beauty throughout the Union have been
steadily improving for two generations
past until now they are probably the finest
in the world, and that especially since out
door sports have come into fashion girls
have been gaining in physical strength and
beauty to a remarkable degree. But
the Sun goes on to assert
that in New York fashionable
designations are dragging down many of
the most beautiful young women, since the
late hours and social habits Of England are
not adapted to nervous American constitu-
lions and our peculiar atmospheric condi-
tions. Hence the nest beautiful women of
New York are not seen at the opera, but in
the streets, and they are not the daughters
of the rich. This is not a great original
discovery of the Suns, but it is true.

THE INSANITY DODGE.

A New York jury acquitted Mrs. DUDLEY
on the ground of insanity. The next day a
jury in the same city found CARPENTER,
the wife-murderer, guilty and he is SEN
fenced to be hanged. Yet precisely the
same expert testimony was produced in both
cases, in each equally strong TO prove the
insanity of the two prisoners. The differ
ence in the findings of the two juries is due
to the fact that the disgust and indignation
of the natural man are too strong to be
overcome by the refinements of the expert
witnesses. CARPENTER impressed the jury
as detestable scoundrel who had commit
ted heartless and detestable crime upon a
woman whom he was especially bound to
protect. In the case of Mrs. DUDLEY the
jury preferred TO put the ban of Outlawry
upon Rosa by extending to his assailant

THE NEW SECT.

The Scrptural Kissers is the name of q
new sect, based upon the cardinal doctrine
that kisses should be exchanged only be-
tween those of the same sex. An ingenious
Bible student has discovered that kissing is
not mentioned over fifty times in the entire
Scripture, and in no case is the exchange of
kisses between the sexes mentioned eXcept
i'm condemnation. RUTH kissed her mother
in-law, and DAVID kissed JONATHAN. but
there is no evidence that any of them ever
kissed persons of the opposite sex ST.
PAUL urges the brethren to salute one
another with holy kiss, but nowhere does
he tell the brethren 10 kiss the sisters. nor
does he intimate that the sisters have a
right TO kiss the brethren. 1t must be adj
mitted that the new sect has good scrip
tural foundation for its doctrine, vet it
is doubtful whether it will gain any con-
verts. The membership will probably be
confined to that rigid class of people who
would want TO forbid man from kissing his
wife on Sunday, and who enter with
great enthusiasm into any sort of a move
ment which is calculated 10 render life not
worth living. While the co-kisSing of the
sexes is nowhere authorized by the Scrip
lures, still it is sanctioned by ancient Gus
tom and is one of the methods Of human
experience which has come to stay. 1t is too
late in the worlds history to attempt to roll
back tide which has gained such an impe-
tus as that Of kissing between the sexes.
Man is the only animal that kisses, and he
will never lose the instinct. Nor can Il ever
be confined to the different sexes. II i

TIE NATIONS FINANCES.

A statement made by the treasury de-
partment of the receipts and expenditures
of the government for the fiscal year end
ing June so, 1885, shows that the revenue
was 1922. $50, 776. Il, being falling off from
last year OF nearly S26, 900. 600. The de-
crease was made up of S14, OOO, 600 in Gus
toms, 50, 600. coo in internal revenue duties.
and SS. 900 in miscellaneous receipts. The
falling off in custom duties has been due
mainly TO falling off i'm the total imports,
and in part to the fall in prices. The fall
ing of in internal revenues has been mainly
due 10 the decrease i'm the yield of the tax on
spirits. The expenditures exceed those Of
last year by about SO, 600, 600. This increase
has taken place substantially in the ordinary
expenditures. An increase of So, 900. 600
in the pension payments is Offset by de-
crease of the same amount in the interest
on the public debt, which has been reduced

stride in popular favor. Its excellence as a

Unlike another leading morning daily, il
