The legal meaning of the word "either"
has been gravely argued in an English
court Of record. A certain testator had
left property, the disposition Of which
was affected by the death Of either" of
two persons. One lawyer insisted that
"either" meant both. and in support of
his views he quoted Richardson, Web
ster, Chaucer, Dryden, Southey, the
story of the crucifxion and passage
from Revelation The judge suggested
that there was song in The Beggar's
Opera" which took another view, How
happy could be with either, were t'other
dear charmer away
In pronouncing Judgment the court
ruled that "either" meant one OF two,
and did not mean both. He said that it
might have that meaning occasionally in
poetry, but never in an English court Of
record. Exchange.

The wonderful pit of Circus de Souci
IN France is situated in a sheet Of recent

study Of the Human Voice.

In a report to the French institute by NJ.
Saint-Saens on the physiological study of
the human voice, the author remarks upon
the practice of teaching pupils in music
that certain sounds must start from the
chest and others from the head, etc. 1t is
found that In an average OF the pulmonary
capacity Of a large number Of singers, both
male and female, the greatest number of
cubic inches Of air introduced into the
lungs does not correspond 10 the best voice,
and that the pressure Of such air is really
minimum in good singers
Then, too, the motions Of the CLOTHS, far
from being voluntary, obey, he says, reflex
motions-that is. the vocal cords are sub
mitted to the respiratory motions, just as
are the tongue and uvula, rising OF them
selves at an inspiration, with the reverse
motion also at an expiration. New York

FAITH AND REASON.
Two travellers started on a tour

Two travellers started on a tour
With trust and knowledge laden;
One was "A man with mighty brain,
And one a gentle maiden.
They Joined their hands and vowed TO be
Companions for season.
The gentle maiden's name was Faith,
The mighty mans was Reason.
He sought all knowledge from this world
And every world a-near IL;
All matter and all mind we're his,
But hers was only spirit.
II any stars were missed from heaven,
His telescope could find them;
But while he only found the stars
She found the God behind them.
He sought for truth above, below
All hidden things revealing;
She only sought IL womanwise.
And found IL in her feeling.
He said, This earth's a rolling ball"
And so doth science prove IT,
He but discovered that Il moves,
She found the strings that move il.
He reads with geologic eye
The record OF the ages.
Unfolding strata, he translates
Earth's wonder written pages.
He digs around mountain base
And measures with a plummet;
She leaps it with a single bound
And stands upon the summit.
He brings to light the secret force
In natures labyrinth lurking
And binds IL to his onward car
To do his mighty work..
He sends his message DER t.,s earth
And down where sea gems gllsten;
She sepdeth hers 10 God himself,
Who bends his ear TO listen.
All things in science, beauty, art,
In common they inherit;
But he has only clasped the form,
While she has clasped the spirit.
He tries from earth 10 forge a key
To ope the gate Of heavenl
That key is in the maiden's heart,
And back It's bolts are driven.
They part without her all Is dark,
His knowledge vain and hollow,
For Faith has entered In with God,
Where Reason may not follow.

CACTUS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Luxuriant Patch OF tho Plant Found
Growing VIVA in the Noods.

~ iiti III tnc woods,
While Port Jervis couple were
strolling through the Pike county
woods near Mutnmoras, Pa. recently
they were surprised to come upon a
bed of wild cactus of luxuriant growth
situated in the midst of several large
trees says a special to the New York
Sun. The cactus is from three to six
feet in height and rs green and healthy
looking as any ever seen in the cactus
countries.
These cXogcnous plants had been in
bloom during the past season and some
faded flowers still remained upon the
stems, while the ground underneath
the plants was covered with dead spec
linens which had fallen off. No dwell
ing ever occupied the site where the
cactus was discovered, as far as known,
and it is doubtless Il wild and natural
production of the soil where it exists.
How this plant (of which there are
more than five hundred species found
almost exclusively in warmer regions)
should be able to ex st in this high
latitude and withstand our severe win
ters is mystery and furnishes an in
tercsting study. The discovery has
created interest in the plant. and eff
