A gentleman should never speak profanely.
Beyond any moral objection there may be
in profanity, one must remember that it is
liable TO CRATE on the feelings of another.
Sir Isaac Newton, one of the greatest minds
the world has produced and most far seeing
into the works of the Creator, is said to have
never mentioned the deity without raising
his hand TO his head in token of reverence.
Ii Newton did not think himself competent
to speak profanely Of the creator of the
universe, it Is not likely that there are others
who may, with safety, q Insi Ter themselves at
liberty to do SO.

Nililist.

Pleas give an explanation OF the term nihilist.
SBS.
The Latin word nihil means nothing. The
NihiliSts i'll Russia take for a fundamental
principle that nothing practical that exists
there is good, therefore they propose TO tear
all away and build on an entirely new foun-
datiOn. The term is also used in a broader
sense in connection with established rules Of
belief This is illustrated in Turgeneffs re-
markable work, Fathers and Sons, the Story

The cOnvalescent state in the case Of many
diseases is of a. great Importance as the period
of the actual disease. In recovery from diph-
iberia, for instance, the action of the heart is
weakened, and any OvereNertion causing too
great strain upon it may prove fatal After
yellow fever solid food taken too early or ex-
ertion before the patient has had time to re-
cuperate is often attended with relapse. And
in yellow fever relapse usually means death.
A chill after scarlet fever may also bring on
a relapse, and imprudence in eating in con-
valescence after typhoid fever may cause
perforation of the intestines and speedy death

An Accidental Discovery.

Since it has been discovered that the senses
Of heat, pain, cold, touch are independent,
Prof. Herzen has recently shown from yivi-
sectional experiments the intimate relation
between cold and touch. An injury to the
cortex of the brain that destroys the sense of
touch in any region will usually also destroy
the sense of cold. But in one case cutting
less deep than he had intended he found that
the sense of cold was abolished while that Of
touch remained unInjured, proving that the
ultimate distinction between the brain centers
of these two substances.
