evinced by those in attendance was so active
and encouraging that little difficulty was
experienced in putting the project on foot.
A committee was formed and the following
officers elected: President L. A. Free
man Treasurer, P. j. Ferguson Secre-
tary, w. j. Watkins. Subsequently the
committee first appointed selected a COM
mittee to take charge of the active affairs
of the project and the second committee
organized and elected the following officers:
President, John w. Morgan; Treasurer,
II. E. DeRgler; Secretary, w. j. Watkins.
An executive committee was also appointed
TO look after the sale of tickets, Rev.
Robert o Boyle being made chairman.
These committees then entered upon the
work with commendsble energy and within
a few days an excellent programme for a
concert to be held in Ferguson s
theatre was arranged, the attractions being
the Grant Band, under the leadership OF
| Prof Zetz; the Shenandoah Choral Union,
the Hughes male party, Thomas B. Hughes
and j. j. Price, Misses Edith Morgan and
Ruth Williams, and Harry P, Mellet.
The concert was given on April 23d, last,
before a large audience and was voted q
grand success Since that time the COM
mittee has been engaged in closing out
standing accounts for the sale of tickets,
ETC., and last night the committee met and
received the reports of Rev. O'Boyle and
the secretary and treasurer. They were
approved and the bills for hall rent, print
ing, posting, etc., we're passed. A balance
was then struck and, on motion, Treasurer
Dengler was instructed to notify Drexel s.
Co., bankers of Philadelphia, to draw on
him for the balance and have it turned into
the hands of the Russian Relief Com
mittee of Philadelphia.
The following is the report of all receipts

The SUCCESS of Dr. Parkhurst in
New York. while bringing down on
him cruises and eneomiums from
naazy Of his brethren and Afrom the
secular press. has stirred up quite a
number Of elerg men who seem TO
pref er d sale~tics to facts. One Of them
preached a sermon against the. detec-
oive system, even befating such pre-
gentive inventions as a conductor
fare register and bell punch. The
LEANED pastor must certainly be aware
that this is not quite the millennium.
The datec.iye system il not The best,
perhaps, bSt, as long as humanity will
break the laws and will not voluntarily
surrender itself, society must protect
itself by ferretlng out the offenders.
lfsome Of the clergymen had their
way, they would force themselves and
congregation into soil Of theoretical
existence in which no reference, how,
ever remote, would be made to to the
concrete evils Of to-day. Within the

The Missouri's cargo of -four for the
famished Russian peasants has been
promptly unloaded at Libau, and the
first train was started for the interior
Monday evening, the river being still
frozen. The spontaneous and heart
felt expressions of gratitude with which
this second American cargo has been
greeted not only help to illumine the
dark pages of the famine story but
constitute in themselves silent ar-
peal for further aid to which the peo-
pie vii not fail to be responsive.

Retaliation by the Chinese Govern

in this land of the free is talked of in
Picking, and the cheerful prospect Of
commercial non-intercourse with out

gree of complacency by Chinese off,

with threatened discriminating duties
on American products, this action
would constitute an edifying spectacle

The fact. that people lost on desert or
in n forest invariably walk in a circle has
been explained as due to slight inequali
ty in the length of the legs. writer who
maintains this theory in Parsons Weekly
states that careful measurements of a
series of skeletons have shown that only 10
per cent. had the lower limbs equal in
length; 81 per cent. had the right limb
longer than the left, while in the other 30
per cent the left leg was the longer. The
result of one limb being longer than the
other will naturally be that a person will
unconsciously take longer step with the
longer limb, and consequently will trend
to the right or to the left, according as
the left or right leg is the longer, unless
the tendency to deviation is corrected by
the eye.
The left leg being more frequently the
longer, as evident by measurement Of the
skeleton, the inclination should take place
more frequently to the right than to the
left, and this conclusion is quite borne out
by observations made on a number of per
sons when walking blindfolded. Further,
on measurement of the arms 1t is found
that in - per cent. the right arm is longer
than the left, while in "a per cent. the left
arm is the longer, showing that consid-
cradle majority Of persons are right hand
ed and left legged, The inequality in the
length Of the limbs is not confined to any
particular sex or race, but seems to be
universal In all respects.

eBB AND FLOW OF THE TIDE.
Some of the Popular Ianeies and super
stitiOns Associated with Tides.

some of the Popular Taneies and super
stitions Associated with Tides.
The ebb and flow Of the tide have not e.
capped the influence Of superstition. Some
asserted that they were caused by the ef
forts Of the earth to breathe, aud others by
the sun. which moves and whiris the
winds about, SO that they fall with vic
lence on the Atlantic, which thus Swell>
and produces the tides" The Chinese at
tribute then. to the action OF supernatural
beings. and Russian folklore informs u
that the tides are controlled by the Water
Kings daughter.
But one o. the most popular fancies still
current in some parts is that death Is de
layed uut Il the ebb of the tide-a superstI
ton To whi,h Mrs. Quickly refers in Henry
v" (act ii, scene -. where, speaking OF
falstaif's death. she says. =" A made Il
finer end and went away, an it had been
any Christom child; "a parted even just
between II and |. even DIT the turning o
The tide" Thus Mr.. Pegsotty pathetically
explained to David Copper.ield by poor
Barkis' bedside that people can't die
along the coast except when the tides
pretty nigh out. They can't be born unless
| it's pretty nigh in-not properly born TILL
aood. He's a.gong out with the tdc-he' s
a-going ont with the tide. It's ebb nj
half arter 3. slack water half an hour. II
he lives till it turns he'll hold his own till
past the flood and go out witf he next
tide" This belief is common ong the
east coast Of England from Nor humber
land to Kent 1t has been suggested that
there may be some slight foundation for
this notion in the change of temperature
which undoubtedly takes place on the
| change of tide, and which may act on the
Pickering spark of life, extinguishing it as
the ebbing sea recedes." We may compare
the following passage in ''2 Henry W.
(act iv, scene d. where Clarence, speaking
Of the approaching death Of the king, says
The river hath thrice iow'd. no ebb between:
