ample that not a reasonable doubt
could exist as to the proper course TO
pursue, and yet the official notitica-
ton was sent so late that a represen-
tative of the Odd Fellows lodge to
which Keiser belonged wa already in
Harrisburg on his brotherly mission
when the word was received here.
The promptitude of the Odd Fellows
is as commendable as the delay of the
Coroner is reprehensible-and this is a
strong expression.
We have told the story of this affair
from a sense of duty and not from a
desire to make a sensation. We re-
greet to harrow the feelings of Keiser's
friends by dwelling upon the sad
details of his death, but we believe
that such official delinquency as is
here disclosed should be in every in
stance made public, to the end that
the popular sentiment in these mat
tiers may find expression, and that
such careless disregard of duty may
be prevented.

Character in the Knees.
From the Detroit Free Press.

from tHe DetfO1I HTee FfeSS.
The knees of a man are an unim-
peachable iudex of his character; that
is if they have not been injured so
that their natural action is impaired.
A strong character is accompanied
with a strong walk. A weak character
is shown in the weak knees and the
shilly-shallying, scraping walk. If
one should desire the performance of
a deed which requires nerve and per-
severance, he would never trust it to
a man who drags his legs about as if
they were made of lead, Or who walks
as if his legs were half asleep. If you
want to measure a mans character,
and have not the time to scrutinize
and analyze his features, and through
them the soul, study his neither ex-
tremities and how he uses them. You
will get from his legs in action, and
sometimes from his legs in repose, the
general outline of his being. Andyou
may be quite SUR that the idea you
so CLEAN is, in nine cases out of ten,
tba correct one.

A Kiss in the Dark.
From the ST. Louis Republic.

RFOHS nc o. LOUIS hcpNO"N'
Horace Vernet, the artist, was going
from Versailles to Paris by railway.
In the same compartment with him
were two ladies whom he had never
seen before, but who were evidently
acquainted with him. They am
ined him infinitely and commented
freely on his martial bearing, his hale
old age, the style of his dress, etc.
They continued their annoyance I'M
til finally the painter determined to
put an end to the persecution. AS the
train passed through the tunnel OF st.
Cloud the three travellers were
wrapped in complete darkness. Yer
net raised the back of his hand to his
mouth and kissed it twice violently.
On emerging from the obscurity he
found that the ladies had withdrawn
their attention from him and were ac-
cusing each other of having been
kissed by a man in the dark. Pres
entity they arrived in Paris, and Yer
net on leaving them said:-''Ladies, l
shall be puzzled all my life by the en-
quiry, which of these two ladies was it
that kissed me?'

second question being asked designates
that it is a cloth. Metals may be
designated by the cue metal; designs
by the word design, and the names of
objects themselves may be divided
into sentences alphabetically, with
such cues as quick, hurry, be quick,
etc. Jewelry, wearing apparel, tools,
furniture and such things may be
classified in sets of questions.
The whole system of questions and
cues can be easily arranged by any
one who gives a little attention to this
matter.
Apart from being a splendid, mys-
FERROUS amusement, it is also one OF
the very best methods of practice for
strengthening the memory and quick

Bathing and Ball Dresses.

The question-box, at the Ocean
Grove Sunday school session, was well
patronized last Sunday. Among
other queries propounded was the fol-
lowing broad one:-
us it any worse for women to attire
themselves in full dress and attend a
ball than it is for them to wear such
bathing suits as some women wear in
Ocean Grover"
DR.. Hanlon said in reply that he did
not know what full dress was. He
liked to see women make themselves
look beautiful, and every one knew
they could not wrap themselves up in
feather beds when going to bathe.
Such matters should be left entirely
to the Ocean Grove camp meeting,
which regulates them.

Jersey City's Burden.

Jersey City is big, and rich, n
prosperous, and progressive; but that
is a very poor reason why her sister
towns and cities should pile up all the
burden of the county expenses upon
her. Jersey City to some extent pays
dear for her prosperity. Her popula-
ton, and the area it inhabits, and the
volume of her business have grown so
rapidly as to demand public improve
ments which they have not yet been
able to pay for. The case of this city
is not that of one which grows stead
lily and year by year, grades and
drains, and paves and builds police
stations and schools, and establishes
fire sta lions, and sets up lamps III
hydrants and so forth and SO forth by
easy stages, keeping pace with a cor
responding gradual increase OF rev.
enue.
The city has in a few years leaped
from the dimensions and the needs OF
a village to those of a first rate city,
and q vast demand for costly improve
ments has arisen, such as it would
take many, years of income, even
allowing for the vast increases therein
to pay for.
Thus it is, that despite it's great re-
sources, the city is often more or less
embarrassed for ready money, and
thence arises the reason wherefore its
officials must be more than ordinarily
prudent in keeping all demands upon
it's treasury within reasonable limits.
Then why should we permit Hoboken
to default to the county in many
thousands of dollars, while we are
paying far more than our share of the
expenses?
If necessary, the delinquency of Ho-
boken, as represented by the out
rageous assessments of MI. Dollard,
ought to be carried into the courts
before this city pays one cent of the
county rates upon any such unfair
basis.

A Knotty Point of Law.

Justice Weed was called upon to decide
a knotty question of law yesterday after
noon. Gustave Buttner, of No. !, 1e6 Ber-
gen avenue, complained against Mrs.
Helen Hurley and her son, John, of the
same house, that they keep cows that are
trained by the Hurleys to make them
cent occasion, when Buttner drove the
COWS away, he says the Hurleys insulted
him and he caused their arrest. On the
examination today Norman Rowe, for
Mrs. Hurley, claimed that when a man on
the public highway reviles a man who is
upon private property he is not dis
orderly within the Intent and meaning of
the act, and offered to produce decisions
Of the Supreme Court to substantiate his
ground.
The Justice reserved his decision in
order to look up Nh. Rowe's point.

HAMMER MUSIC.
A GERM4N PROFESSOR ON THE
PIAEO PLAYING OF YOUNG
LADIES.

Only the Few Should BE Taueht-Second
Sight Simplified - Horace Vernet's
Cruel J~oke-Bathing and Ball Cos
TUNES.
From the London Journal of Education.
Prof. Watzoldt, the director of the
Elizabethschule (the head of a girls
school in Germany is always a mani,
addresses a most serious warning to
parents and guardians on n Of the
evils of the present system of teaching
girls, which we cannot recommend
strongly enough to the attention OF
parents and teachers in this country
as we'll. We wish we had space to
print it in the biggest of type. 1t is
on the subject of what Wagner has
contemptuousIy called Hammer
musk"
The professor begins by pointing
out that the terms musician and
p~ianoforte player are not at all con-
vertible. Then he refers to the IL
logical conduct of SO many parents
who, for the sake of their children's
health, ask them to be excused on
certain subjects of the school course,
while they encourage them in the
most excessive exertions at the piano
forte. Now, there is no subject which,
if taught seriously, makes such a de-
mand upon the store of nervous
energy of the body as instrumental
music. The brain, the eye and the
hands are all exercised at once. Hence
the frequent injury to health IN
the case of girls who have not a strong
constitution. The professor has col
lected some statistics which show that
more than half the pupils are taught
the ~pianoforte and that after their
tenth year they spend twice as much
time daily at it as at their other home
lessons. Many girls complain OF feeling
tired, absent minded, idgetty, OF
headaches and sleeplessness, and
these complaints grow worse as they
grow older. In all cases where the
parents could be prevailed upon to
diminish the hours of pianoforte prac-
tice, or stop it altogether, a marked
improvement in general health was
the invariable result.
Herr Watzoldt, therefore, recon-
mends () that pianoforte instruction
should not begin until the age OF
twelve; (2) that only girls of sound
health, and who show some talent for
music, should be made to play. We
also agree with the final observations
of the professor, who must be a true
lover of genuine music. sit is an in
dubitable fact he says, that nine
tenths of the girls, after years of
arduous practice, only attain to
a certain automatic technique,
which not only has no rela-
tionship with art, but is an
actual hindrance to true musical per
ception". Teachers and medical men
should do all in their power to stop
this pianoforte stunning, which kills
all true feeling for art, and renders a
normal bodily development impossible.
know how difficult it is to fight
against the fashions and vanity of the
day; but if it is only shouted from the
housetops that true art and culture
have nothing whatever to do with
mediocre Klavierhammern, there will
be some, at least, in the maddening
crowd that will pause and reflect. and
these, by a lucky chance, sometimes
become leaders who set a better fash
ion to the unrefiecting masses.

Spiritualism by System.
M VII nI

Prominent %conjurers, and some of
the most successful of the alleged
spirit mediums, have presented to the
public what they may term second
Sight. Anyone who has witnessed ex-
hibitions of this mystery will remem-
Der how bewildering it was, and what
a fascination it had for the audience.
Many explanations have been offered
as to the way the feats were accomp-
lished; some ascribing it to real occult
science, others to a mysterious cleo
trical appliance, and others to equally
ingenious but innocent theories. The
secret is systematic memorization.
The first exhibition of the kind was
given in England in 1884 by Pinetti,
an Italian magician, who, taking adj
vantage of Mesmer's theories, ELECTED
replies from his subject, in the sup
posed trance. M. r. Houdin first de-
veloped the excellent system for the
trick which is now used.
The effect of the mystery is:-One
person, usually a young lady, is seated
on the stage, blindfolded. The ma
gician goes into the audience and asks
any one who desires to hand him an
article. This article he asks the
Young lady to name and describe, and
she is able to do so promptly and ac-
curately.
Now the basis of the matter is that
the subject on the stage learns what
the article is, and thendescription of
it, by the manner in which the ma
gician asks the questions. Therefore
the person on the stage cannot de-
scribe any article not seen by the ma
gician, unless, as is sometimes the
case, an arrangement has been Sc
cretly made to allow a confederate
whom the audience does not suspect
to ask the question, the answer to
which is known to the subject" be-
fore the performance.
While there is not oom enough in
this article to give complete techni-
cal explanation of the entire modus
operano.l, l will explain enough to en-
able any two persons to arrange a sys-
tenn of their own.
The first thing to do is to arrange a
series of questions like the following
The?
What's this?
What is this?
This is what?
Name this?
Can you name thisP
VIII you name this2
Tell this?
Can you tell this?
VIII you tell this?
Give this?
And this?
These questions should be learned
carefully by both parties. Then a
series of cues should be arranged for
each subject.
For instance, the cue for color
should be the word color. There are
about twelve principal %colors, which
allows one for each question. The
cue is applied to the question in each
case. For instance, suppose that the
color black is arranged for that first
question.
If the question 1.-THE Color?n is
asked by the performer in the audience
of the subject she Tor he) will at
once know by the cue color that it is
a color, and being coupled with the
first question signifies black.
Materials may be designated by the
cue now. Suppose, for example,
that cloth be the material selected for
the second question. When the quest
Toner asks:-"Now, what's thisfn the
subject at once knows by the word
now that it is a material, and the
