 Some of the answers given by the pupils of an Indiana public school in an eIamina- ton in physiology are decidedly absurd. One boy, for instance. wrote: 'It will not do to munkey with the tung juce." And such mistakes as 'tteslius" for 'intestines,n "kile" for "chyle, "agean" for "squeous," Jasper juce" for ''gastric juice" and "eso- faqut" for "oesophagus" were common. A delightful though unconscious comment on the ignorance displayed in the above eI- amples was made by one boy, who solemn ly remarked in his paper "that you cant no to much"
 A orage-battery locomotive has lately been put into operation in Wurtemberg. running from some paper mills near Ravensburg to the station on the steam
 
 away. This locomotive hauls passengers as we'll as freight. It weighs eight tons and carries one hundred cells of a gel atinous storage battery, which supply cur rent to a motor under the car driving on the axles by toothed gearing. The cells weigh two tons. The line has no very heavy grades. The locomotive makes on an average four trips daily, and hauls load of twenty tons between the two points in twenty minutes. It seems to do the work, but the life of the batteries has still to be determined.
 Some men accomplish much, even when badly handicapped. For instance, William N. Davenport. blind man, who has a farm of zoo acres in Leyden. Massachu- setts. His property has come, not because he inherited a dollar or because he has been aided by others, but solely through his native ability and untiring efforts. He earned his first dollar by threshing and saving wood, and now he is estimated to be worth from $50, ,000 to $75, ,000. He knows the geography of his farm, and is A good judge of the nature and character of | the soil. For years he has been looked upon as one of the best judges of live stock in the county, and he is frequently employed as judge to guide buyers in the market. He attended school but little, and what he | did learn was by sitting in the school room and hesring the other fellows recite. He | is a thorough believer in the New England farm, and says it is good enough for him in every respect.

GERMANY,s DRINK BILL,


 England's "drink bill" has long been a wonder and sorrow, and now atten ton is being directed to the expense of drink ing in Germany. It is asserted that Ger many has been growing poor, so far as the ability of the country to sustain its popu- lation is concerned. But not less than one- fifteenth of the farming territory of Ger many is devoted to the production of materials for the manufacture of beer. This land, if devoted to the cultivation of rye, upon which the poorer classes largely livs, would give every man, woman and child in Germany si1ty-fve pounds apiece, enough for sustenance for about two months. But instead of raising this supply, Germany has to buy it, while the core spending supply raised upon German soil goes into beer, and runs down the peoples throats, carrying with 1t little or no nutrition. The per capita con- sumption of liquors in Germany in 1ss9-9O was four and one-half quarts of wine, four and one-half quarts of distilled liquors and 106 quarts of beer. and the total sum spent for drinks was s109, ,92O, ,0OO, or $2.16 for every man, woman and child. The num- Der of men engaged in the service of the liquor traffic in Germany is s1, 500, ,000, which is about one-fourteenth of the en- tire productive energy of the empi<e.
 It has been the general impression that Germany was a very temperate land, and that beer, sobriety, happiness and content ment walked together there. But it now appears that the people are not satisfied with beer. The sale of the stronger alco- holic drinks is fast gaining upon the sale of malt liquors, and drunkenness is com mon enough. Perhaps it will by and by be found necessary to have prohibition law in Germany. If the young emperor want one he will have it.

The aIiuIster,s Farewell,

A country minister in a locality not many thousand miles away recently took permanent leave of his congregation in the following manner: Brothers and Sisters -I come to say goodbye. I don't think God loves this church very much because none of you ever die I don't think you love each other because I never marry any of you. I don't think you love me, for you never pay my salary and your dona- tions are mostly fruit and specked and wormy apples, snd by their fruits .hall ye know them Brothers.

A TrIne.

A kiss he took and a backward look, And her heart grew suddenly lighter; trifle. you say, to color a day, Yet the dull gray morn seemed brighter For hearts are such that a tender touch May banish a look of sadness; A small bright thing can make us sing. But frown will check our gladness. The cheeriest ray along our way Is the little set of kindness And the keenest sting some careless thing That was done in c moment of blindness. We can bravely face life in a home where strif. No foothold can discover, And be lovers still if we only will, Though youths bright days are over. An. sharp as swords cut the unkind words That are far beyond recalling When face lies hid heath 0 coffinlid, And bittAr tears are falling. We fain would give the lives we live To undo our idle scorning; Then let us not miss the smile and kiss When we part in the light of morning.

CRIMIN AIS.

Dr. H. O. Wood of Philadelphia has been talking about the cause and nature of crime in a very interesting way. He says clearly and forcibly what many who have studied the matter are thinking. He believes that, as the result of inheritance, an improperly developed brain may pro- duce an insanity of character as positively as it may produce an insanity of intellect, and that this insanity of character may be go rooted in structural nervous disease that it cannot be cured; that vice or ner- vous disease or alcoholism in the parent may produce an insanity of character in the offspring which shall dominate the whole life of the individual, making him criminal, who is no more responsible, morally, for his acts than is a man who suffers from an in- herited gout for his pain; that such in- sanity of character may be as incurabls as imbecility due to original lack of brain development; that to punish for the pur- poses of revenge such a criminal is un- Christian, and that to punish with the ob- ject of reformation of the criminal is hope less; that to punish with hope of deter ring other such criminals is useless; thst society has for its bounden duty the protection of its sane members from these criminals; that the present system of shutting such per sons in prison, letting them out, and reincarcerating does not afford protection; that during their pe,iods of freedom they breed criminals; that the law should recognize many criminals, in- cluding drunkards, as neuropaths, who should become not the victims of the law, but the wards of the law, to be isolated in institutions resembling criminal ssylums rather than prisons, and should never be allowed to go at large in ths community un- less pronounced cured by experts, and then only under some surveillance; that society has the right to put to death these homicidsl neuropaths or lunstics whose maintenance involves death or injury to all. about them.
 Whatever difference of opinion there may be about the responsibility of certain criminals it is evident that their punish ment does neither them nor society any good. The present system of dealing with criminals is not very intelligent or very

What Physicians Say.

It ia right that the sick and suffering should listen with their very souls to what the medical profession say of any new aid in their great work.
 No single agency has yet been found that 50 surely comes with help to the man or woman whose system is so undertoned that they are prey to all forebodings of evil, as our Compound Oxygen.
 Dr. c. H. Thomas, at one time assistant chemist at Harvard university, declares that it ''quiets the nervous system, induc- ing rest and sleep" that means health.
 Dr. R. F. c. Brown of Warren, R. l., says: "I most heartily indorse it. It has been of much assistance to me in my prso- tice."
 Dr. o. F. Bigelow of Amherst, Mass, writes that his patients under our Oxygen treatment are Improving in marked de- gree"
 We can give you the names of many physicians who write us in even stronger terms. Remember, 1t costs you nothing to test it's effect for yourself at this office.

 A thin baby is always deli cate. Nobody worries about a plump one.
 If you can get your baby plump. he is almost sure to be well. If you can get him we'll, he is almost sure to be plump.
 The way to do both-there is but one way-is by CARE FUL LIVING. Sometimes this depends on Scott's Emulsion of cod-liver oil.

The Jewish Progress quietly remarks; The Jews are often accused of being pro- digious hoarders of wealth and of having nothing in view but the one purpose of raking in the shining shekels and holding on to them with a tenacious grip. That our fellow Isrselites are mighty toilers in this direction does not need stroke of the pen to deny, nor can we at the same time, with any regard for veraoity, exempt our Gentle brethren from Q grasping familiar ity with financial matters.
 The Boston Commercial Bulletin does not agree with Senator Sherman as to the merits of his silver act of 1890. It de- clsres that the abundant harvests of last fall alone enabled the country to stand the strain which this law put upon our Anan- cial system as long as 1t has, and '1t can- not be borne much longer. It is serious question whether 1t can be borne six months longer" This is pretty serious way to put 1t, but there is no doubt that the present silver policy is dangerous.

Communicate d
Glggling in Church.

There Is nothing that so effectually
stamps a person as III bred more than
the desirable habit of giggling In church
during divine service 1t shows at once
decided disregard, If not contempt, for
the rights of others. as well as being a
sad reflection upon the family of the gig
gier Those within any reasonable dis
lance of this to be pitied class in Church
have all serious thoughts disturbed by
the senseless habit, and the service Is no
benefit to them. The Preacher can
not do his best In the face OF one given
to this haait and for the sake of the
giggler's family-he refrains from giving
the rebuke their misbehaviour deserves
A drunken man in church. even though
little talkative, may be kept quiet-and
many are pleased that he is there. But
the giggler cannot be coaxed, and, il too
foolish, to understand, that every one
would be best pleased by her or his alb
sence. It is the custom in some churches
to at once invite them out until the fit Is
over, and all, when the door closes be-
hind the giggler think, IL they did not
say it, Amen, and the Preacher has q
higher opinion Of the Sexton than ever,
and he too SAYS Amen, and every one
bends forward for a good hearing, and
generally rewarded for their attention.

The Public Printer.

The bill which Mr.. Fitzgerald has in
troduced in the House providing for the

eral Assembly repeats those sections Of
the code which recite the manner in
which the public printing Is now done.

joint session shall elect successor to
the public printer. At the beginning Of
the session of each General Assembly the
committees on printing of both Senate
and House shall contract with the pub
lie printer for the work to be done by
him. This contract is to specify the
character and quantity OF the work to be

thereof The contract is not TO be bind
