A Chin.ac t.In,x nrI.

president Martin in the February Forum
Your superior skill in the mathemsti-
cal and mechanical arts we are ready to
acknowledge" a learned Chinese once said
to me, ''but you must concede to US the
palm of philosophy and letters" This es-
innate is the prevailing one among educs-
ted Chinese as they compare our civilizs-
tion with their own. 1t may be modified,
and doubtless will be, by further acquaint-
ance; but it shows that they are not i'm
posed on by the glitter of wealth or the
noise of machinery. The material pro-
gress on which we vaunt ourselves weighs
light in their scales when poised against
moral principles and aesthetic culture. A
letter of Mr.. Yungwing, the well-known
scholar and diplomat, has fallen into my
hands, of which the following is an eI-
tract, Certain Jealous Americans had the
doubtful taste to invite his assistance in a
convention for promoting the general
adoption of republican government" He
replies: SIN view of what the general
government has done for the past twenty
years in the way of enacting obnoxious
laws against the Chinese, and without any
provocation finging insult after insult in
the very teeth of the Chinese government,
cannot for the life of me see how repub-
licanism is to become universal, or how
the. torch of American liberty is to en-
tighten the eastern races when they are
shut out from its light" / feel confident
that this would meet with similar confr-
nation on other points if we had access to
the unpublished reports of the Chinese
mission of inquiry.

Sagacity in a IIongrel Cur.


This dog set me nusing. AS his lachry-
NOSE eye suggested, he was an animal of
much feeling. And yet he was supernatu-
rally sagacious. His mode of life had ev-
identity been thought out in as careful and
philosophic q way as that of Epicurus
himeelf He reasoned that for him at
least the summum bonum consisted in q
judicious mixture of permanence and
change, uniformity and variety. Others
before him had reached the same conclu-
sion. But his originality cannot be ques-
toned He had evidently thought out the
problem of canine felicity for himself, and
without the least help from human philos
ophers. And his solution of the problem
has much to recommend ii.
To have found his way to n conception
of life that seems to combine the maxi
mum of p!easurahle excitement with the
minimum of anxiety argues n more than
usual intelligence. felt at once that so
ed with the unevclved, unattached yaga-
bond. He is not, like this last, incapable
of attachment; on the contrary, he at
taches himself great deal, and, as most
people would say, too much. But in his
case the instinct of attachment has be-
come controlled by conscious intelligence.
His instinct cOmpels him to seek human
protector, but he is shrewd enough to see
to it that the alliance turn out to his own

THE ON AND THE NEW.

The fifty first congress, which came to
an end yesterday, has been very displeas-
ing to the Democrats, but it has managed
to do great dealin spite of Democratic
obstruction. The passage of the Mckinley
bill was its most notable act, and Speaker
Reed was its most notable man. How
much it has accomplished for the good of
the country cannot yet be told, but it is
safe to say that tho Democrats wouldn't
have done any better. They may not in
the next congress do even as well. The
Sun is evidently afraid that they may not,
for it says: Democratic high jinks
over the execution of the SEN
tence pronounced last November,
should be tempered somewhat by the re-
Election that trouble now begins for the
Democracy. The overwhelming majority
by which the party of the people controls
the incoming house of representatives is in
itself source of danger. If the fools were
all dead, or all Republicans, the prospect

Some light is shed on Governor Hill by
the exposure of his connection with bill
which is now before the New York as
sembly. The bill is an extremely bad
one. 1t practically permits the sale of
liquor at all hours of the day and night,
on Sunday, and to children, forbids any
one, even a policeman, to seek evidence of
illegal selling, virtually abolishes the
civil damages act, .and throws open nearly
all the liquor-saloons in large cities on
election day. That such measure should
be presented to the legislature not merely
with the consent, but with the ap-
proval of the Governor of the State, is o
truly astounding phenomenon. That the
doubted, for he has never denied the fol-
lowing announcement, which appeared in
the official organ of the State Liquor Deal
ers' association, the Wine and Spirits Ga
zette: The bill in the amended form was
returned to legislative committee with
instructions to submit it once more to Gov
ernor Hill, leaving to the governor the
choice of the member of the legislature
who is to introduce the bill in the assembly
or in the senate.
The liquor dealers of New York warmly
approve the bill and the members of the
Excise Reform association as warmly dis
approve it. 1t is not believed that it will
become a law, even with the powerful help
of the governor.

Hot Milk and Vichy.


"There are great many men who are
overworked and underfed," said an up
town physician; ''they think they are too
busy to eat lunch at midday, and resort to
stimulants as substitute for food 1t
only takes a minute to step into a barroom
and take drink. This makes them feel
better for the time, but the effect soon
passes away and another is taken to get
rid of the empty feeling. The habit grows
until it takes eight, ten or more drinks a
day to keep them going. Alcoholic stimu-
lants are the worst thing in the world for
an empty stomach, finally causing catarrh
of the stomach, interfering with the secre
tions of the liver, and destroying the abil
ity to assimilate food When man
comes to me in this condition the first
thing 1 do is to cut off his whisky or
whatever form of stimulant he is addicted
to and substitute food for it. I cannot
substitute solid food, because his stomach
won't retain it. l must get him to take
something that it will This is where hot
milk and vichy comes in. Cold milk is
too harsh. 1t shocks his weakened stom-
ach. Hence give it to him hot. Vichy
lightens and livens it, makes it more east
ly digested. 1 tell him to take a glass,
two-thirds milk, one-third vichy, twice a
day; to order it over bar, anywhere he
can get it, and to let whisky and all slim
ulants severely alone. If he obeys the
orders will cure him and save his life.
ga good many men among my own pa
tients, fast growing prematurely old and
bringing upon themselves a multitude of
ills by the steady and excessive use of al
coholic stimulants, instead of nutritious
food which they should take, have been
reclaimed by the use of hot milk and
vichy. If you find you are losing your
appetite for food and eorrespondingly
gaining that for alcoholic stimulants, try

Head and Hair OF Infants.


The heads of infants should not be
washed in brandy, whisky, spirits of
hartshorn or other stimulating washes
They do no good, cause pain, and may so
irritate the tender scalp as to cause dis
ease.
For cleansing the head, soap and water,
or water with little borax in it, are all
that is needed. After washing the scalp a
soft hair brush should be used. This will
remove any dirt or dandruff, and will not
irriiate the skin as a comb would be likely
70 do.
The hair of both boys and girls should
be kept short till eight or nine years of
prevent great deal of trouble in combing
and washing; will leave no hsrbor for the
abominable creepers to which children are
exposed, and by keeping the head cool will
render children less liable TO the infam-
matoty affections of the brain, to which
they are strongly predisposed at their time
of life. Thus managed, the hair will be
smooth and glossy, and accumulations on
the scalp will be prevented.
The custom of putting caps on infants
having been abolished by all well informed
people, it is hardly necessary to say that
the practice should be abandoned by all,
as the head is warm enough without the
cap, is very likely to be too warm with 1t,
and in this way causing the brain affec-
tions to which children are go prone.

was so exceptionally bright and eruberant
that the crafty millionaire gave up a crisp

suppose, he began to regret it. On her
part the fair solicitor was considerably
surprised; she had heard that he was
hard, unfeeling man, yet had he not re-
sponded promptly and generously to her
appeal She was SO grateful that she in
sisted on shaking hands with the old man,
and as she did so she remarked, feelingly:

Worse Than the ssBad Boy.o

From the journal oil EducatlOn.l
I have been reading letters from all
parts of the universe relating to bad boys
of all sizes and colors, in all the educa-
tional papers, ever since I began to take
any interest in boys, or papers either,
which was about seven years ago. l have
read thousand remedies for the cases in
all stages. I have read: ''How to gain
the love of bad boy" "How to manage
bad boy" ''Be patient with the bad
boy" ''Look for the good points in the
bad boy" etc. Now think he has had
attention enough, especially since there is
being in existence who is infinitely more
worthy of attention. That being is the
bad girl. She can do, say and act more
mean things than ever dawned on the
mind of the worst boy in the world. She
can give look or shrug her shoulders in
q way that will make a teacher who is
rival of Job for patience want a handful
of hair. No boy does such things. She
can say what no boy could say if he were
to rehearse for week. Then if the teach
er offers any reproof or treatment that's
| not agreeable to the young lady ~ she as
| sumes an abused air, puts on meek look,
and appears before her friends and parents
Dethed IN tears, tnereDy awakening more
| sympathy than was ever extended to all
| the bad boys in the world. She and her
parents want her paid all the respect due g
young lady, and at the same time allowed
| the privileges of child. Now will some
teacher who has had seventy-iye years of
experience prescribe for such a case!
! Please don't say anything about ''kind
treatment" appealing to finer feelings" !"
| or any thing else that is applicable to the
case of bad boy Such medicine has not
the slightest effect on Lad girl. 1t just
takes girl of that kind about two years
to bring gray hairs and wrinkles to a
teacher, and make her look as though she
needed upholstering. If must have one
of them, give me what the world calls the
cosrser article, the bad boy, but deliver me

ton is something agreeable or the "uncle
