Tho discovery is reported from
Central America of an actual kingdom
of Lilliput, situated in the wiIds Of
that little-known country. A general
of the Guatemalan army announces
that he encountered an army of the
pygmies on the borders of that coun-
try. He describes the little people as
tribe of ferocious savages, armed
with spears and blowpipes, with which
they discharge poisoned arrows. So
far very little is known OF this new
race of Americans, but now that they
have been discovered the Atlanta Con-
stitution is of the opinion that they
will probably not long be left un-
known

The Cold Bath.

The London Medical Journal com.
bats the popular notion of the injuri-
GUS effects of cold bath taken when
one is overheated by exercise-an idea
falsifed by the experience of athletes
from the days of .the Greeks and Ro.
mans even until now, who find in this
procedure q refreshing and stimula
ting tonic after the exertion they have
recently undergone. Physiologically
speaking, too, according to this writer,
a cold plunge or douche taken immc-
diate after the physical effort, when
the skin is acting freely and there is
sense of heat throughout the body, is
as rational as in the experience of the
athlete it is beneficial-is paralleled,
in fact, by the tonic eject produced
by the cold plunge when the skin is
actively secreting after a Turkish
bath, and finds its rationale doubtless
in stimulating the nervous system, in
tie increase of internal circulation,
and also in the renewal of activity to
the cutaneous circulation after the
momentary contraction of blood ves-
sells due to the cold. The popular be-
lief presumably rests on the injurious
effects which may be induced by the
bath in one who does not resort to it
Immediately, but allows timS for the
effects of fatigue to show themselves
on the muscles and nerves and for the
surface of the body to get cool taken
then, the bath is more likely to de-
press than to stimulate; there is less
power of reaction and greater inabil-
ity to internal indammation-a warm
bath rather than cold one, at such a
time, being moro suitable and more

Hypnotism as a substitute for ether,

Gated strongly in the Arena by DIR.
James r. Cooke. He believes seventy,
five to eighty per cent. OF the cases in
which such drugs are now used might
betreated with hypnotism. The shock
to the system would be avoided, as
well as the disagreeable after effects.
A case is described where prolonged
hypnotism was successfully used to re,

young man suffering from a most pain.

wreck, and could obtain no sleep. In
two minutes the pulse fell TO los, and
in thirteen minutes he was breathing
deeply in sleep, and the body was in
a state of repose. Hypnotism was also
used in place of chloroform during the
narrowing daily treatment Of an in

thus dragged from the jaws of death.

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

There once was q hermit who lived near
stream,
In a pleasant, commodious cave
Folks glared on him daily, with wonder su-

And he lived on thelpresonts they gave.
But one morning he found, with such dread
ful dismay,
That he could hardly open his lips,
new hermit settled just over the way,
And himself in total eclipse.

The Phenomenon of Gray Hair.

Gray hair by no means shows a pre-
mature decay of the constitution. 1t
is purely local phenomenon, and
may exist with great bodily vigor.
The spot where grayness begins differs
with the individual. As a rule Il
woman's hair begins to change color
at the temples at fve-and-thirty, but
severe attack of neuralgia will
whiten the hair over the part affected
in few weeks. A very severe illness
will also diminish the coloring matter.
Gray hair IN most cases is very becom-
ing, and, when really well dressed, has
very distinguished appearance-es'
pecially if the face and coloring of the
complexion be still young. The transi-
tion stage is very trying, and no
woman likes finding her first gray
hair but, once 1t is completely gray,
she may get to delight in the Summer
snow. New York Dispatch.

DUTY OF SCHOOL PATRONS AND TEACHERS

| In almost every locality we have q
few chronic kickers. They sigh fol-
the returning of "the good old days
when people lived natural lives; they
are opposed to public Improvements
they say a common school education is
all that any boy or girl needs. They
are opposed to building fine school.
houses and fight all school improve
ments. Let us go back and ask
Yourselves what we mean by "common
school education. and what is "educa-
! ton"
Herbert Spencer says: "To prepare
us for complete living is the function
which ed1catien has to discharge. In
other wortis, it has to prepare us to do
that which God has ordained us to do.
Why, then, should it not receive our
attention and most hearty support?
1t is sorrowful, though nevertheless
true, that most Of the school patrons
forget the fact that it is in the school
room that their children spend most of
their time till they are ten or twelve
years OF age.
Again we say is it not strange that
they sigh for the antebellum days,
when the wide-awake, progressive
farmer went to mill on horseback with
the grain in one end Of the sack and a
big stone in the other end to balance it I?
We suggest that such people are out of
harmony with the spirit Of this pro-
gressive age, and to assist them have
found a location thai will exactly suit
them Yellvile, Marion county, Ar
kansas, is seventy-liye miles from West
Plains, Missouri, the nearest railroad
town, and the only means of travel is
towalk or go in an old style numbering
stage coach drawn by two mules that
are at least seventy-fiye years old and
are as slow as they are old.
r Well might mankind be divided into
four classes:
"FirSt, Those who do not know and
do not know that they do not know.
These are fools, leave them. -
Second, Those who do not know
and know they do not know. These
are children, teach them.
"Third, Those who know and do not
know they know. These are asleep,
rouse them.
Fourth, Those who know and know
they know. These are wise men, follow
them"
1t is the fourth division that will not
employ a teacher who is not qualified
and wide.awake to the work in hand
Too many teachers are found in our
schools without that spirit which they
should have for there work. While it
may be easy to enter upon the duties
ofthe teacher without that lofty pur-
pose which an enlightned conscience
would ever demand, it is not easy to
undo the mischief which single
mistake may produce in the mind of
the child at that tender period when
mistakes are most likely to be made.
She should feel that her mistakes,
though they may notspeedily ruin him,
may permanently injure her pupils.
Nor is it enough that she shall say, II
did it ignorantly." She has assumed to
fill place where Ignorance itself is a
sin and where indifference to the well
being of others is equivalent to willful
homicide. She might as innocently
assume to be a physician, and without
knowing its effect, prescribe arsenic
