"Do you think that American in.
stitutions are progressive2' inquired
a New York gentleman of an En-
glish tourist, who is at present in
this city. "Indeed L do" replied
the Englishman heartily. "The
classical education of even the
guards on your elevated railroads
makes them far superior to the
guards on our English roads. 1
notice when your guards open the
car doors, that they call out the
names of the stations in an unknown
tongue. I am familiar with seven
distinct languages, but the guards
on your elevated roads are gulf
of learning compared to our most
learned scholars. 1 am surprised
that the companies can afford to
employ such men, for their salaries
must be enormous, as their erudi-
ton is SO vast and unfathomable.

1t is a little fortunate for the Pres
ident that he penned his Thanks
giving proclamation prior to the 5th
inst. Had he postponed it there
might have been slight tinge of
bitterness or sarcasm traceable
throughout the devout production.
The National Democrat asks:
.sWhat has he to be thankful for2
Does he rejoice over the annihila-
ton of his man Malone in Virginia.
Does he feel thankful for the
downfall of his friend Foraker in
Ohio.
Does it make him grateful to the
Almighty to know that Senator
Payne's successor will be a Demo
craft
Does he sec anything to make
him chant a gladstone hymn in the
grand overturn in Iowa2
Does the Democratic triumph in
New York make him wish to give
thanks to God or man9
Docs the Democratic victory IN
New Jersey arouse sweet emotions
in his breast?
Does the reduced Republican ma
jority in Massachusetts, make the
Thanksgiving season to him sweet
and holy time2

should like to know to make this
gentleman thankful

to be the fitting habiliments of

to such results as those of Tuesday
last. Benjamin Harrison will do
we'll TO devote the National holiday
to silent prayer and self examina-
ton"
He can be assured of one fact,
however, which, if he is benevolent
or patriotic should bring some cheer
to his heart and consolation to his
wounded spirit, and the fact is that
the large majority of the people
who make up this Republic are re-
joicing with great joy over the hope
of deliverance from misgovernment
and oppression, which Providence
has shown them so recently. Tho
poor will give thanks that their
burden is to be made lighter; the
toiler on the farm or at the forge or
loom or furnace, and the deliver in
the mine, and all the millions whose
backs have been bent under the
yoke of an iniquitous and cruel sys-
tenn designed for their enslavement,
in order that a few of their fellow
men should roll in luxuries, will,
with a heartiness in which nothing
is simulated, give grateful praise TO
the Giver of all good, for turning
the feet of the people into the path
of right and justice.

We believe, but mind we are not
sure about it, that Harrison, Quay
and Malone had arranged for the
election of the latter as Governor of
Virginia, and thus the entering
wedge that was to burst the Solid
South would be driven. We re-
member very distinctiYely reading
something to that effect in our Re-
publican exchanges. This was one
of those jokes that requires a die
tionary and subsequent events to
explain it.

Angry.

Yes, Ben Harrison is mad. So
mad in fact that he ceases to be
polite. And he is down on the Ger
man voters, too, and isn't very
much inclined to consider their
claims to Office any further. He
told Senator Sawyer, of Wisconsin,
a day or two since that the
Germans had but little to expect
after the way they had voted in
Ohio and Iowa, and the Senator,
who was pressing the claims of ex-
Congressman Guenther, a wiscon-
sin German, for the post of sonsuI-
general at Havana, left the angry
presence of the President with his
teeth on edge and fire in his eye.
We often wonder if Ben is going
to try to make second term. We
do hope he so intends, and we
will be only too glad to further his
aspirations, so far as getting the
nomination goes. Yes we are for
Ben Harrison as a candidate on the
National Republican ticket in 1892,
but when he gets that far then we
drop him hard and quick.

The destitution in the Dakotas
is appalling, if reports from that
section are to be credited. There
is neither food nor money with
which to purchase provisions in the
vicinity of Devils Lake, and the peo-
pie are said to be actually dying of
starvation, The couties where the
most suffering exists are Ramsay,
Nelson and Walsh, in North Dakota,
and Miner Lake, Sanboan and
Beadle. in South Dakota. The sit
uation is one that calls for the
prompt action of humane people
every where.

to run the same distance with corsets on.
The running time was two minutes and
thirty seconds for each person at each
trial, and in order that there should be no
cardiac excitement or depression following
the first test, the second trial was made the
following day. Before beginning the rum
ming the average heart impulse was eighty
four beats to the minute; after running the
above-named distance the heart impulse
was l52 beats to the minute, the average
natural waist girth being twenty-five
inches. The next day corsets were worn
during the exercise, and the average glrth
of waist was reduced to twenty-fourinches.
The same distance was run IN the
same time by all. and Immediately after
ward the average heart impulse was found
TO be jos beats per minute. When i state
that l should feel myself justified in advis-
ing an athlete not to enter a running or
rowing race whose heart impulse was leo
beats per minute after a little exercise,
even though there was not the slightest
evidence of disease, one can form some
idea Of the wear and tear on this important
organ, and the physiological loss entailed
upon the system in women who force il to
labor for over half their lives under such q
disadvantage as the tight corset imposes.

Nothing Apparently to Justify the Common
Prejudice Against III.

EJuuASO 0SoAhoe Ae
Scientific American.
There is a widespread idea that consan-
guineOus unions produce either defective
offspring or none at all. When a m arriage
between cousins is spoken of, sterility or a
deaf-mute, idiotic or deformed progeny is
predicted, and examples are always at
hand to cite in support of the prophecy.
Does this opinion rest Upon positive and
well-authenticated facts, or is il erroneousf
This is a question that was examined q few
years ago by MI. G: H. Darwin, who, after
a profound study Of the subject, came to the
conclusion that, in the present state of
science, there is nothing to Justify the com-
mon prejudice hat exists against the mar
riage of near kin. More recently the sub
ject has been further examined by Mr.. A.
i've work upon 1T, in which he arrives at
the same conclusions that Mr.. Darwin did.
Mr.. Huth thinks that consanguinity of it
self plays no particular role in the union of
the descendants it increases the
tendencies common to the two
progenitors. By reason of their rela-
tionship, the closer this is and the closer
er is the tendency of the descendants to ex-
hibit the same dispositions. IL these are
good, consanguineOus unions will be adj
v~antageous, in that they VIII fortify and
intensity them. If, on the contrary, they
are bad, such unions should be avoided, in
order to prevent a reinforcement of unfa-
vorable tendencies, which should be sup
pressed. But the case is identical where it
is a question of unrelated persons. No
reasonable person would urge two neuro-
pathic individuals of different family to
unite. because he knows that the neu-
rOsis has every nance to become intense in
the descendants. On the contrary, a union
between onsanguineousIndividuals equal
~ healthy and well favored, ought to be
encouraged.
What may be urged against marriages of
near kin is the facility with which unfavor-
able tendencies are transmitted, and the
relative rarity of the circumstances in
which such marriages can really be adj
vised. But, this admitted and explained,
consanguinity of itself presents no incon-
v~enience. especially if we consider how re-
mote, by reason of the existing laws upon
marriage, is the degree of con~sanguinlty
between Individuals capable of uniting
le~gitimately.
Upon the whole, consanguinity accumu-
lates and i~ntensifies tendencies. If these
are bad, the marriage of near kin should be
avoided; if good, it may be favored But
as, unfortunately, the unfavorable tenden-
cies are more easily and frequently trans
mitted, because they are the ones that are
established with the most facility, there Is
oftener more reason for avoiding than
seeking such unions. Upon the whole, MI.
Huth concludes that the accusations di-
rected against marriages of near kln are
not justified in the present state OF science.

FARLA's NIGHT ON LIONS HEAD.
Farla was very angry; angry at she
scarcely knew what. She could not say
that she was angry at what her innocent
and supplemented little sister Sanello had
said or done. She was surely not angry at
anything that Mr.. Gray had said or DONE.
She was simply angry; perhaps at herself,

She had looked forward eagerly to this
day when she should be with him, sail the
boat that bore him on and on through the
straits, ON and on through the Golden Gate,
On and on to the stormy islands of stone

of countless sea birds. She had expected
so much of this day; and what had she had

of John Gray: except his ever serene for
had long learned that this silent and alb
sorbed man had never been a boy and was
something more than man, at least some
thing more than the brute-man. 1t was in
deed this gentle element in his nature, this
unsellshnesS and serenity and entire re-
spect for her that had suddenly, and for
the first time in her life touched her heart.

Had any one asked her, had she asked
herself why she so willfuliy and sud-
denly declined to return with the party,
but preferred remaining. as she often had
done before, indeed, with her people on the
islands. she would have been at a loss for
an answer. Surely she wanted to be with
Mr. Gray; all, she even now and in truth all
the time wanted to be with him. Yet had
she thrown all this sunlet afternoon of
glory into the sea! Sue is the incompre-
