SPEAKING Of the large delegations

ing hands with him, Hdrper's
Weekly says:
ain this campaign, the opposing
candidate to General Harrison, the
President, is not subjected TO this
senseless annoyance. He il left, to
the quiet discharge Of his duties"
The reason no delegations wait
upon Mr.. Cleveland is simply that
he is not a popular candidate. He
creates no enthusiasm. That is the
reason he is left TO the "quiet dis
charge Of his duties"

Facts in Scientific Reasoning.

A fact is always a fact, whatever
may be the consequences. The question
is, whether it is true; our studies are
obscure and hard to explain, but that
does not prevent them being facts; or,
at least, the chief question should be,
to learn whether they are facts. Be-
side, contradictory facts are the fer
ment of science. ! once asked a dis
tinguished man of science how certain
discovery he had made was getting on.
sit is not getting on" he replied.
"What is the matter with it?" l
anxiously asked. 'Why," he said, II
find no facts except those which are
favorable to it; and" he added, sit
takes contradictory facts to teach us. {"
This is true. The theory will either
explain the contradictory facts and be
fortified by them, as the Newtonian
theory has been, by all the exceptions
that have been opposed to it and which
have entered. into it, or it will be re-
placed by wider and more compre-
thensive theory. In both cases there is
grain of science which would not
have been obtained if we had hcsitated
on account of vain scruples, to seek out
and verify the facts in question. Paul

PLEASURES OF REVERE.


Reverie is a natural condition, so
common to children that they arc
hardly able to distinguish between tn 10
reports from the external world and
the images presented by their mag
nation. But rcverie is common eX-
pericnce Of the human race in all
stages of development. II differs from
abstraction in the fact that the latter
is the intense pursuit of train OF
reasoning or observation, which
absorbs the mind to such an
extent that there is no attention
left for. the reports of the senses
Hence the distracted man neither
looks nor listens, and noise or an i'm
pulse. far greater than would suffice to
awaken the same man if asleep, may
be sufficient to divert him from the
train Of thought which he pursues.
Reveric is literally day-dreaming.
1t is not reasoning. The image-mak-
ing faculty is set free and it runs on.
The Judgment is scarcely attentive,
hardly conscious, and the tear may
come into the eyeo or the smile to the
lip. so that in a crowded street-car or
even in an assembly attention may be
attracted to the person, who is wholly
unconscious of the same. A person
may imagine himself other than
he is, and derive great pleasure
from the change, and pass an hour,
a morning or day unconsciously. In
reverie persons frequently become
practical communicates is, they
speak words which others hear that
they would not have uttered on anv
account, strike blows, move articles,
gesticulate and do many other thin gs,
sometimes with the effect of immedi-
ataly recalling them to knowledge
of the situation, when they as well as
others are amused, but often without
being aware that they are noticed. In
extreme cases the only distinction be-
tween reverie and dreaming sleep are
regular breathing and the suspension
of the senses which accompany the
latter.-Dr. Buckley, IN Century.

AGAINST CORSETS.

Stays Not at all Necessary to Make Good

No mother should allow her daughter
to wear stays while she iSAnder her

corsets, | promise her she will not re-
quire them. But woe if she once be-
gins to wear them. for then she will not

all | possess in wager that if you new
er put stays on a little girl she will not
require them when she becomes a wo-
man, and she will have a figure that
every one will admire and covet. A
young girl with a slight. supple, yet
firm figure, certainly needs no corset;
and woman, however stout she
may be, will always look heshier
and sitter in stays than without them.
Loose jackets and flowing draperies are
far more becoming % stout figure than
tight stays; and as for young, slim girls
and women, all they need is band
round the waist to mark its natural
curve.
