Bailey's Speech.

The speech of Hon. j. w Bailey at
the court house Thursday night is
warmly complimented on all sides by
everyone who heard. He is an elo-
quent orator, IA man of commanding
presence and possesses magnetism
with which he captures his audience
at the outset. He spake democracy in
its purity and simplicity, and as his
words fell in rich, melllfluous notes
from his lips, the impression upon
his audience was visible. He rung
the knell Of the dying opposition to
those eternal principles, which though
more than century have lived and
triumphed at last over all the OPPOSE
ton raised against them. Mr.. Bailey
is one of those who championed the
adoption of the prohibition amend
ment last summer, but when he
found his views rejected by 100000
majority, like democrat he accepted
the result, and bowed to the will of
the people. He now aligns himself
in the ranks of the party which rep
resents pure and popular government,
and with chivalric valor levels his
lance at those who would overthrow
the principles of government, pur-
chased by the price of patriots blood.
He advocates Mills; he advocates
democracy, and his ringing sentences
as they echoed along the walls of the
court room carried conviction with
them.

are enchanted at present with live
toad found in the course Of railway
excavations at Greenock on the Clyde.
The toad, it is estimated, is from 20,
900 to 10000 years old, as the stratum
of clay in which it was found dates
from the glacial period. Its mouth is
sealed up. 1t breathes slightly through
the nostrils and, though the eyes are
quite expressive, it does not seem to
see.

THE LAW OF GROWTH.
Some Very Useful Suggestions for Guidanc
in Observation.

some very Useful Suggestions Tor Ou1uanCC
in Observation.
The rule of growth is that child
should increase two pounds in weight
for every inch in height between three
and four feet. and two and half
pounds for every inch weight between
four feet and five feet. Any child
more than seven pounds below the
weight here given should be examined
medically. A remarkable fact that
comes out from the tables is that the
boys at the public schools and young
men at the universities and entering
the public service, here called the up.
per classes, average about three inches
taller and from six pounds TO twenty
pounds heavier than boys in the board
schools and young apprentices and
wOrkmen. Two causes may be AS
signed for this--tirst, hercdity, the
one springng from taller parents,
and, secondly. favorable surround
ings. Deficient and improper food,
town air, laboriouS work at early
ages, all stunt the growth. Every
one knows how q change from clcsc
town TO free country life. with plenty
of exercise. stimulates growth. ]
have seen three and half inches
thus produced in tour months where
all means in town had signally failed
before. A good rule for predicting
future height is that if five feet is

thirteen and fourteen, of medium
stature; if not till fifteen he will be
short. Increase of weight is also
largely due TO climate. l remember
an eXceedingly-slim and elegant young
lady coming to the north of London
from the west of ireland. In n few
weeks there was trouble with the
dresses, and this continued for the
girl got so stout rs TO quite lose her
elegant figure, Her friends were in
despair. Banting was tried. but still
she grew apace. Circumstances at
this time required her return to Con-
naught, and in two months time,
when she had got thoroughly soaked
again in that humid climate, she wrote
in triumph that the odious fat had all
disappeared and her beautiful figure
returned. Again she came to London,
and rs she gradually dried rene wed
troubles with the dresses began, and
at last the question became urgent
whether she would be dry and stout in
London or damp and elegant in Ire
land. 1t is needless to say she at once
chose the latter.

Personal Cleanliness.

Very many people do not keep the
skin active and healthy as they ought.
The fear of catching cold leads them
TO neglect to maintain perfect cleanli-
ness of the body. and rs the functions
of the skin are impaired. the work of
throwing out waste material which
rightfully belongs TO it. falls upon the
internal organs. They will bear the i'm
position for time. and will labor to
do the work forced upon them, but
sooner or later they become weakened
by the strain. and then the
waste of the system ac-
cumulates within the body and
assists in depressing the vital forces
Thus. by neglect to keep the skin in a
healthy state. many a person becomes
dull and sluggish and disinclinel to
mental or bodily effort; all the organs
concerned in life share in the disturb
ance, and become indolent and torpid.
The need TO maintain perfect cleanli-
ness of the body is. if possible, greater
in winter than in summor-a fact
which but few appreciate; and 10 the
neglect of this essential may be at
tributed much of the sickness prevail
ing in the cold weather. which, really
ought to be tho healthicst Of the year.
