The Debt Due Them the Highest the Government
Owes.
Extract from the speech of Gen. P. s. Post
of the 10Th District of Illinois, in the House of
Representatives:
Ia connection with the recommendations for ex-
pendtures absolutely necessary for the prosperity
and general welfare of the people, there is another
question which touches the honor of this Republic
There are creditors whose rights rest upon the laws
and presidents established In former wars and in
force at the time that they volunteered for the de-
Tense of the Union. They performed their part of
the contract, but while the Government was in
numbered with debt they periodically refused to
press their claims. Years rolled on the bond
holders have been paid in gold and the Treasury
is now OVERLOOKING. Is it not time that the claims
of the soldiers should be impartially considered
with view to determining whether such claims
unjust? Would such a consideration be incon-
sstent with the high and benetieent purposes of
our Government 90

THE MODERN GIRL.
She Has Learned tho Beauty Of Health and
Cgliness Of Disease.

Cgllness OF Disease.
If we have any subject for congratr-
lation, it is the mental and physical
superiority Of the girls Of the present
over the past. The sickly. sentimental
maiden who was too good for human
natures daily food" has no modern
counterpart. The opening of institu-
tions of learning all over the land for
the higher education of women, Of
gymnasiums. and the popularity of
athletics with women in America and
England have all tended toward ono
end. Educating our girls has not only
made them mentally but physically
stronger. hr making them sensible Of
the absurlity Of tight-lacing and other
old-fashioncd follies and the need Of
every healthy individual for vigorous
outdoor exercise The modern woman
has learned the beauty Of health and
the ngliness of disease. The adoption
of English ideas In living and dress
has tended to make our girls more At
tentive to the gymnasium and the daily
walk. aud to depend more for ths
beauty Of their complexion Oh the cold
wafer bath. like the English girl, than
on the rouge pot Of the French woman.
II is the fashion to ridiculc the tailor

MEASURING THOUGHT.
An Ingenious Machine Which Register
the Time 1t Takes to Think.

An Ingenious Machine Which Registers
tho Time 1t Takes to Think.
And now," said tired-looking as
sistant librarian i'm the Astor Library.
..as if there were not enough subjects
open for study and for the multiplica-
ton of books. DIR. J. Nick. Cattell
comes out with an elaborate paper de-
scribinw machine which he has con-
trived for measuring the length OF timo
il takes to think. 1t is true enough
that of making many books there is no
end There will be books written
about this now. and all sorts OF theories
will be founded on it and expounded al
enormous length.
THE machine is ingenious enough.
A pen is attached to the prong of a
tuning fork. which is kept vibrating at
a constant rate by means of electricity.
This pen draws line. and small
chunks of this line. so to speak, can be
cut out, thus measuring time down TO
the one ten-thousandth part of second.
By an application even more ingenious
than the machine. the learned gentle
man is able to tell how long it takes
to think.
"For instance he saws it takes Lib
of a second To distinguish between blue
and red 1t takes 10 Of second to re-
call the name of printed word, If -
a second to remember the -
printed letter. and II -, -
name a familiar pic. ] .,, ~ y,
But" urged the reporter. 'rhat must
be wrong. Some people have TO pick
out word by recalling each letter and
spelling it out.
True" said the librarian. And
rapdi,y Of thought varies with the in-
dividual. The only value can see to
the whole thing. excepting To build
theories on. is to measure the rapidity
of perception Of an individual. and
even ,ha, can not. it seems 10 me. be
established. Some days it will take
longer To think than it will on other
days. 1t depends on your health ant
on circumstances. 1t takes me con-
siderably longer TO recognize man il
owe him any money than it does If
expect him to pay ME something. And
Ihave known my wife to take half An
hour To decide between two col ors whel
it was a matter of a new gown.
1T i, all very ingenious. though, and
the resul, DIR. Cattell has obtained are
some of them very interesting. He
saw. for example. that it takes twice
n long to think Of the name OF the
last month as to think of the name o.
the next. and it takes 1-2o Of secont
longer to translate a word from a for
eign language TO ones native tongue
than TO reverse the operation. Then
he claims tha. sensation travels
through the nerves to the brain Al
about sixty miles an hour. OF cours,
the distance is so short that we cal
not perceive the lapse of any time. bu
time does elapse while the sensation i
travelling should say. however. tina
the rate of travel would differ widel,
in different people. ~ ]. Nail a'c
