Evolutionists believe that the five
senses We're developed one after another,
first of course that of touch, and that
the nerves controlling them were spe-
cialized in the course of the ages neces-
sary for such accomplishment. In truth,
the whole five senses are specialized vari-
ations of the original general sense, that
of touch. A ray of light from an object
touches the specialized nerve of sight,
the impression is conveyed by the spe-
,ialized nerve to the brain; thus we see.
A sound vibration touches the special
lied nerve of the ear; we hear.
The psychological evolutionist con.
cludes that these special senses, having
been developed originally from the
original one of touch, must still be cor
related intimately in the brain. Tha,
having come from one sense, they may
in time be so developed as to reach out
and touch one another again. In brief.
it may be that color will also impress
the nerves of hearing, that sounds will
also impress the nerves of sight, and so
on. Late experiments show this to be
true to certain extent. 1t is not I'M
common for sudden sound to produce
flash of colored light across the retina.
On the other hand, the sight of red or
yellow makes persons whom Dr. Gruber
has experimental with hear certain
notes of the musical scale. A member
of the English parliament writes that
when he is fatigued mentally he catches
at times a distinct violet odor, with no
known source whence it can come. Will
the five senses in time perhaps develop
into sixth or universal sense?

GONE Bur Nor FORGOTTEN. -
Last Thursday Robert Mccoy
and his agent, NJ. Knadler, erect
ed in memory of Moses Chapline
who died 1870 years ago on the
Shiffier farm near Sharpsburg,
now known as the "burnt barn
farm, monument or marker or
dered by Mrs. J. l.. Dare, of
Washington, a great-grand ME e
of Mr.. Chapline. Mrs. Dare's
mother who is now 81 years old,
put a wreath on the monument.
Moses Chapline's father, Wm.
Chapline came over from Eng
land in the Mayfiower in 1870.
Moses came from Boston, Mass,
to the Eastern Shore of Maryland
and married Miss Joneatte Gait n
a cousin of the celebrated Rich
ard Cation who married the
daughter of Charles Carroll, Of
Carrollton. Moses Chapline, t. e
one who lies in the old grave
yard on the farm of Misses Bet V
and Kate Shiffier, and who built
the old log house in which Miss
Betsy now lives, sometime in the
year 1740, was a first cousin of
Cecil Calvert, Lord Baltimore.
Moses Chapline died in 1862, his
wife and son dying several years
after. All Of these lie buried in
an ancient spot which is now be-
ing cared for after 1870 years by
the great-great-grand-d daughter
of Moses Chapline, Mrs. j. L.
Dare, of Washington, D. c.

No age less irreverent than ours would
have permitted to be carried into execu-
ton the plan which has been formed for
getting sulphur out of the crater of Po-
pocatepetl. No other age could have
conceived such plan. In che old time
men would as soon have the aght of get
ting sulphur out of the Internal regions.
1t would have been considered med
ding with Satan's own mysteries and the
tempting to sure destruction.

The Windsor Knitting Mills at
Hagerstown shut down to-day
throwing 60 girls out of work.
The manager says it is due to
Cleveland's election. The people
want free trade. If it works bet

know it. Why make American
goods if we can buy English
make cheaper. People will lie
more economic and capital and
enterprise take no risks until
they see how things work.

Politeness in the Public Schools.

POnteneSS IN the PuDlIc Schools.
1t is better for schoolboy or girl to
enter life with gentle, courteous man.
ners than to know the names of all the
British sovereigns in their order: better
even than to be able to repeat the battles
of the American revolution. The charge
is brought against the peoples schools
that the pupils are rude and jostling;
that they are harsh and discourteous in
their manner to strangers and to one an
other. In the kindergarten training it
is certainly not so. There one of the
first, greatest lessons is to learn the ap-
plication of the golden rule. Kinder
garten teachers are gentle, low voiced
and kindly, and the pupils naturally fall
into the same gracious ways.
1t is quite compatible with robust
training and strict discipline that the
public school teacher should have the
gentle, low voice; the gracious, magnetic
manner. The pupils will catch some
thing of the gentleness, and object les
sons and stories should be constantly
placed before them besides, to produce
this result. If there is no time, then
leave out little of the mechanical drill
ing and memorizing. At any rate a
harsh, wooden manner, a loud, hard,
metallic voice, as dry of human sympa-
thy as stick or stone, is one of the poor
est qualifications for the public school
teacher.

Wheat.

In 1869 the Suez canal was opened.
That made the shipping of wheat easy
from India to Great Britain. About the
same time railroads began to be built
with extraordinary rapidity in both In
lia and the northwestern part of the
United States. Both regions thus being
opened up began to produce wheat for
export in large quantities. 1t was not
till 1880, however, that the export from
India began seriously to threaten the
United States trade with England in
wheat.
The enormous production still goes on.
Great Britain preferably takes her sup
ply of wheat from her own colonies.
There are besides thousands of English,
Irish and Scotch farmers in the Argen-
tine Republic who send their crops to
the mother country. Before the Rus
sian famine our export of wheat to Eng
land had fallen off over so per cent.
This much is certain-the United States
cannot any longer depend on Great
Britain to take from her the former
quantities of wheat. Our own popula-
ton will in time grow up to the point of
consuming all our wheat at home, but it
will not be next week, nor in five years.
Meantime dispatch says, There is
not an elevator in all the west that is
not crammed to bursting with wheat. p"
The storehouses at all the lake ports are
in the same condition. In one day not
long since there were at Chicago 10000
cars loaded with grain. Never before
in the history of the country has there
been SO vast store of wheat within its
borders. 1t is really worth considering
whether it will not be well for farmers
to let up on the raising of wheat for
year or two and try something else.
The southern farmers raised too much
cotton last wear,

Professor Frederick Starr. of the an
thropological department of the Column
bian exposition, has been making anthro-
pometric measurements of the eastern
Cherokee Indians in North Carolina. He
finds there is an undoubted mixture of
two races among them-one in color
light yellowish brown; the other very
dark. The features of the two are
different. 1t is probably owing to the
admixture of negro blood among the
eastern Cherokees. Professor Starr
found, however, fact still more curl
Gus. The little children all had decid-
eddy the oblique or Chinese eye-almond
shaped, as it is called. But as they grew
older this disappeared, and they had the
round, open eye of western nations.

In places where kerosene is cheaper
than coal it has been used to a consider
able extent as fuel on locomotive en-
gines. 1t is more extensively used in
the Argentine Republic than elsewhere
On the Oroya railway, of Peru, mix
ture of oil, air and steam is used in the
fuel box, which is built of friedrich. The
oil is sprayed into the firebox by means
of steam jet. The spray is consumed
at white heat in the firebox. 1t has
been found that these brick furnaces do
not burn and crumble away so rapidly
as might be expected in the fierce heat
produced. The retort in which the oil
was consumed was used in one case six
months on one locomotive of the Oroya
railway, and at the end of that time
showed no signs of burning out. On
one of the engines upon the little rail-
way that leads up Pixies peak oil is used
instead of coal as fuel.
