The public is always ready to overrate
the power of money among scholars.
Agassiz, who "had no time TO make
money" is no exception in hat respect to
all scholars Of rank. There has been talk
in the papers of the possibility of calling
Tyndall, Huxley, Arnold, to this state, on
the strength of the salaries the stanford
endowment can offer.
IT Is improbable that any salary what
ever would induce these men, or any
others OF their standing. to leave the
places where they are happy and satisfied,
and come to the uncertainties of a new in
stitution. They have already the things
that men pour out money to get-honor,
social place, congenial surroundings and
associates, happy occupation, better helps
to this occupation from men and Libraries
and schools about them han centuries
can create in n new country, and incomes
sufficient TO enjoy all this in comfort
why, therefore, should they sacrifice any
of IL for moro moneyf-Overland Monthly.

Many have predicted that the popu-
larity of roller skating would be short
lived; that it is only a n which will
o give way to some newer form Of
amusement and become in n short time n
thing Of the past. But every indication at
present points to the opposite direction.
The objections which have been urged
against roller skating are emphasized less
every day. The injurious effects expert
enced by some have plainly been the re-
suit of unwise and excessive exercise, and
roller skating is no more to be condemned
on this account than Is the gymnasium
for stiff joints Of the enthusiastic and
reckless beginner. This is a fault which
soon corrects itself by experience.
Another objection to the rink, viz, its
immoral character and tendency, is re-
moved by the fact that in all the large
cities proprietors Of skating Kinks have
formed protective associations and have
have taken effective measures to rid the
Kinks OF disreputable characters and OBJ
~jectionable features Of all kinds, and place
them on a plane with other places of
reputable amusement.-House Furnish

The habit Of administering quinine in
powerful doses, as an antidote to malarial
maladies, was once dangerously common.
Happily this practice has undergone a
wide reform. Not only the public, but
professional men have adopted, not who'll
ly. of course, but largely, Hostetter's
Stomach Bittcrs as a safe botanic substi-
tute for the pernicious alkaloids The
consequences Of this change are most inn
portant Now fever and ague sufferers
are curcd-formely their complaints were
only for the time relieved, or half cured
the remedy failing TO produce any appre-
ciablc effect. except the doses were in
creased. A course Of the bitters, persis-
tenily followed, breaks up the worst at
tacks and prevents their return. The
evidence in favor Of this sterling specific
and household medicine is Of no ambigu-
GUS character, but positive and satisfac-
tory. and the sources whence Il proceeds
are very numerous.

never been realized. The city was then

from it, forming new county; gobbled
up. as it were, by it's neighbors. But
very few Of the old settlers can now be

some familiar name under the head of
