The Bristol Medico. Chirurgical Journal
the daily destructive metabolism, which
Is the great criterion of work done, does
not vary much among different occupa-
tions. Promising that he does not con-
slider moderate over eating Injurious, he
finds that very many men eat consider
ably more than the most liberal tables:
il Is not an uncommon thing for an aver
age sized man on very moderate work to
eat twenty-five or twenty-segen ounces
Of chemically dry food a day. Women
eat much less than men, after making
allowances for differences IN weight
and work. Where a man eats nineteen
ounces, a woman Of the same weight
and Of active habits eats only fourteen
or fifteen ounces.
On a diet from which all meat is ex-
Guided, he has found that twelve 10 thir-
teen ounces per diem viii comfortably

Psychical Research.
PHILADELPHIA Record

The announcement is made that the
American Society for Psychical Research
has disbanded for want OF ghosts ana VIII
become a branch Of the English society Of
the same name. II English syndicates,
masqueradng in the guise Of scientific so
cieties or otherwise. are 10 get control OF our
ghost output, the question, aside from us
spiritual bearings, at once assumes I'M
portance i'm economic and other aspects.
Above an. il means menace Of trouble
for our political system, Of which
ghosts. in various familiar FORMS
have become cherished if not an
indispensable feature. There is the fleet
inc and elusive home-markot ghost; the
bloody-shirt ghost which refuses TO be laid
more than four years at a time; the BUSH
uess-interests ghost. likewise quadrennial
spectre: the ghost Of high moral ideas. etc.
An these multifarious shades whose comic
reappearances give life and zest to our poll
tics. are in peril Of absorption unless the in
satate spirit of British aggrandizemenl
shall somehow DE checked.

Senator Allison Again Elected.
PHILADELPHIA Tines

After a long and desperate battlein Iowa,
naturally one of the strongest Republican
States in the Union. Senator Allison mas lusl
achieved another election 10 the United
states Senate by close vote. His admit
ted ability ami prominence as q leader and
Presidential candidate Of his party, made
his battle 70 retain his seat in the senate At
tract the attention of the country; and there
is very general satisfaction that Republl-
can Legislature has continued him I'm the
public service.
Senator Allison is one Of the most saga
ci0us Of the national leaders Of his party,
and he can't be ignorant of the fact that the
political disruption that gave him narrow
escape from defeat was not caused solely 10y
liquor and railway issues. They were 10
some extent factors i'm the revolution that
has Just elected the first Democratic Gov
ernor i'm that State since the organization of
the Republican party; but Senator Allison
has. i'm the past, so ably and so impressive
~ urged the needs Of the people of Iowa,
that ne well knows the true cause of the
revolt from which he has barely escaped.

Crop Report.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-The Farmers Re-
view tomorrow will say: Rain is still
needed in some parts Of the west for
pastures, but corn will not be materially
benefited by additional moisture, as it
has practically reached maturity stage.
Some of it is already reported as out of
the way of frost. Threshing returns
make tie yield Of spring wheat in 25
Minnesota counties 10 bushels per acre,
In Iowa II bushels, in 81 counties in Ne
braska 10 bushels, in 10 counties in Da-
kota 10 bushels.
The yield of spring wheat is un-
usually variable in the Dakotas, varying
from highest to five bushels and less per
acre. The progress of threshing will de-
velope the extent Of these differences.
On the coast from New Jersey to Mary
land, in North Carolina, Tennessee, Ken
lucky, Arkansas and Missouri, as also in
northern New England and Florida, there
is no improvement in corn since August
1st. In Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia,
Alabama, Louisiana and Texas corn is
unchanged. A decline occurs in New
York, Ohio, Illinois and Alabama, and in
some others of less importance. The
crop is late In the eastern states requir-
ing maturing weather throughout Sep
tember. 1t is also late and variable in
New York and Pennsylvania.
