A Unique Character.

a unique character ia the Princeton
college faculty is Joseph Korge, profess
or of modern languages. Adventure
and experience of a rough nature have
marked his life, the earlier part of which
was spent in Europe. Coming from a
family of Polish gentlemen who made
arms their profession. he went into the
German army soon after finishing his
university education, and for time was
closely associated with Prince Frederick.
Later on the Polish instruction drew
him into it and made longer residence
within Russian dominions undesirable.
So the ardent Pole came TO this country,
and won distinction in the Union army
before he settled down as pedsgogue
under the shadow of old Nassau.-Hsr-

How to Read the Tongue.

The perfectly healthy tongue is clean,
moist, lies loosely in the mouth, Is round
at the edge and has no prominent papill8,
says DR.. Julia H. Smith in the New York
Ledger, and then proceeds to interpret
other aspects of this small but mighty
member: The tongue may be furred from
local causes, or from sympathy with the
stomach, intestines or liver. The dry
tongue occurs most frequently in fever,
and indicates a nervous prostration or de-
preston. A white tongue is diagnostic
simply of the feyerish condition, with per-
haps sour stomach. When it is moist
and yelIowish brown it shows disordered
digestion. Dry and brown indicate a
low state Of the system, possibly typhoid.
When the tongue is dry, red and smooth,
look out for inflammation, gastric or intes-
final When the papille on the end of the
tongue are raised and very red we call it
strawberry tongue, and that means scarlet
fever. Sharp pointed red tongue will hint
of brain irritation or Inflammation, and a
yellow coating indicates liver derange-
ment.

A Cure for Sleeplessness and Weak Nerves
Which Anybody Can Try.
A most wretched lie-awake of thirty-five
years, who thought himself happy if he
could get twenty minutes sleep in twenty
four hours, says in regard to his experience
with hot water as a cure for sleeplessness:
l took hot water, pint, comfortably hot,
one good hour before each of my three
meals, and enc the last thing at night, nat
urally unmixed with anything else. The
very first night 1 slept for three hours on
end, turned around and slept again till
morning. IhaVe faithfully and regularly
continued the hot water, and have never
had one bad night since. Pain gradually
lessened and went, theshattered nerves be-
came calm and strong, and instead of each
night being one long misery spent in
wearying for the morning they are all too
short for the sweet, refreshing sleep now
enjoy.

False Teeth Lenethen Life.

A dentist is quoted as follows: The
perfection to which the manufacture of
false teeth has been carried has practically
abolished old age-that is, old age in the
sense that I used to know it. You see
none of the helpless, mumbling old men
and women that you formerly did. This is
not because people do not attain the age
their parents and grandparents reached,
but because the dentist has prevented some
of the most unpleasant consequences of ad-
vancing years. Men of seventy no longer
either look or feel old, because they are not
deprived of nourishing food at the time they
need it most. Estimates have been made
showing that the average length of life has
been increased from four to six years by
the general use of false teeth.

About Book Reviewing.

An expert book reviewer does not need
to read book thoroughly IN order to de
scribe it sufficiently for his purpose.
Most newspaper book reviews are mere
descriptions and not criticisms, and such
notices can be written quickly by one
who has had experience and has the
necessary ability. When a publisher
sends in book Of sufficient importance
to deserve careful criticism, either the
editor takes time to read it or he dele
gates the work TO somebody else. There
are few papers that always give care
full reviews of the books they notice, but
their number IS very snall-Writer.

ton is whether his failure to do so in
this regard is sufficient ground for
qnashing so important an indictment as
that against Clerk CLoUsToN.
1t is generally held by competent
lawyers Of high standing, whom the
REGISTER has interviewed, that this
statute is not mandatory but directory,
and does not compel the Judge TO quash
an indictment because that instrument
gives the sum in figures instead of
words. A flimsier technical objection
could scarcely be imagined, on the
strength of which 4 criminal might
escape Justice; and it is moth
ing but astonishing that a
jurist Of the ability of Judge BORE
MAN should recognize it as loop-hole
Of escape for the accused in so plain a
case. II indictments for forgery are to
be destroyed because the amounts they
enumerate are given In figures instead
of being written out in words, another
door is opened wide for the escape of
criminals from Justice.
The REGISTER does not assume TO set
Itself up against Judge FOREMAN as a
legal authOrity-itis simply criticislng
his decision on the strength of legal
opinions entitled to as much weight as
his, and on the ground Of common sense.

SIE:=The Congressional districts are

political questions before 1t. The L. 5.
Senator is not elected until 1898, and
who ever is elected on Saturday will
then be out of office. With good
working majority in both the Senate

nothing TO the Democratic strength

from the First district.
