IF the next senate should be tie and the next house should have but one or two majority either way, as seems likely enough now, we would probably get much better legislation than from a congress with a large majority either way.

THE RED BANDANA


 We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land? No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago. Call and examine stock.

A PEN IN The BRAIN.

Extrsordinsry Case of an English Corn
merclsl Traveller How Did II Get
There?
London Times.
On Friday Mr.. Wynne z Baxter, the
coroner of the eastern division Of Mid
dlesex, held an isquiry at the London
hospital, W~bitechspel, respecting the
death Of Moses Rsp0ael, aged thirty-two,
= commercial traveller, lately residing al
100 St. Psul's road. Bromley by-BoW,
above hospital. Moses Davis OF the
Stanley house, Bow, identified the body
as that Of his brother-in-lsw. The de-
ceased had been in witness employ for ,
great number Of years
About SIX weeks ago he COM
plsiued If pains in the head, and
also Of sbivers DR.. Fordh m Wss called
in to see him, and govs an opinion that
deceased was suffering from bronchitis.
He ordered spirits to be appli d to the
head, which wss done, but the pain still
continued, and eventually it wss decided
to remove him to The hospital. Until
the last fe weeks the deceased had been
in apparently good health. He was q
wonderful brain worker, and had kept q
set ot books most accurately. Herr,
Muir D,yie, house surgeon attached \
the LuTdDn hospital, stated that when be
received the deceased on his admis-
sion he appeared drowsy, and COM
planned of q pain in his head. He
continued in that state until the 10 b inst
but st times appeared quite c~leGr-headed
and rational. On the Ion symptoms OF
apoplexy appeared, and the deceased ex-
pired at II O'Clock the came night. Wit
ness said that since the death he had
made . most searching examination of
rhe head and BRAIN On opening the
former he discovered an abscess in the
brain. It was about the size ofa turkeys
egg, and has evidently been there some
time. Ga removing the sbscess from the
bSse Of the brain q penholder and nib
we're found protruding from the top Of
the right orbital plate. The pen was K
ceedinglV sharp, and, together with the
holder, measured nearly three inches.
This had produced the SDscess, ana the
sbscess had caused death The holder
and nib were Of the ordinary kind general
ly used in schools, and they must hsve
entered the brain by Wsy Of the right eye
or through the right part OF the nose.
There was no evidence TO show how long
they had been Ill the brain, but it was
PROBABLE that they had been IN there for &
time, as the bon, had grown
over thsm, and it wa with difficulty that
were separated. He had examined
the eye, but mad failed to detect any in
jury. Il wss, no ~ever, quite possible
for such q thing 10 enter beneath the lid
Of the open eye, end the wound 10 heal
up, showing no sign Of the entry. The
Cf the deceased man was called In,
and said That her husband never m=n
TONED to her any thing about being hurt
oy q pen. The Coroner said that the cas-,
WSs the most ex raordinsry that had ever
before him. The jury found thst
the deceased had died from an sbscess IN
the brain, caused BY a foreign substance,
out how the substance got into the brain
was re evidence to show.

croquettes, but the fritters then are
somewhat pasty. Gsrnish and serve like

The Psychology of Belief.
February Scribner,

The will has IS much to do with our
beliefs and faiths as with our movements
1t is, in fact, only in consequence of 8
faith that our movements themselves
e0sue. We think of q movement and say,
'tlet it ensuel 80 fsr SO We are concerned
let 1t be part OF reslityi" This is all that
our mind can do-physical nature must do
the rest. AID this is all that our MIND
does in any ,heoretic belief, such as that
10 the divine or. undivine nature of the
essence Of life. In %espousing shy such
b lief, who can do more than say Of it,
Gas fsr as 1 sm concerned, let that view
of life stand. Let 1t be real. Let my
mind be filed up with the thought
of l., let no difficulties drive it
from my sighti" But, as all sober minded
thinkers know, there are great difficulties
Ia the wsy of holding any unWaveriDg
view of life. The unuttereble completely
of this huge world that girdles us about
Sc ms sometimes as il 1t were expressly
meant to defy our attempts to conceive IL
as o unity. Beliefs and unbeliefs shake
us by ifs. The thoughts Of the daysprine
and the thoughts of midnight drive esch
other out. No ooner are we settled IN
the mood of spiritual trust than some
new brutality on the psrt Of nature over
turns our peace; no soone at ease IN a
materisllstlc perti pris than we catch q
phras OF music, or q friend dies, or we
see some dewy morning break over the
hilltops Of the world, and then the ice
cracks, and all our questions and hopes
are pi lst and alive again.
