According to Pratorius, the man IN
the moon is the Patriarch Isaac. carry

pie claim that they ear see the face %
Adam in the moon and that of Eve il
the sun. Among the Frieburgers there
is a superstition which Gays that the
marKs and spots on the moons face ara
the outlines of the traitor, Judas Iscar-
lot, holding his hand over his face while
sneezing just prior to hanging himself.
This last belief accords with the old
Frankish legend, which says that there
was no spot on Luna's bright face until
after the time Of the cruCifixiOn Of
Christ. Still another story tells us that
in the time Of the creation Gcd threw
an offending aDgel against the face OF
the moon, while another is to the effect
that the moon witnessed the creation Of
Adam and Eve and took an impress Of
their features on his surface, intending
TO people his own land with similar be-
ings. When he essayed to initiate Code
works, he made nothing but a Shiny ser

At no time since the demoneti-
cation of silver in 1873, and the
repeal of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman act which became a
law in July, 1890, has the pros
pect for silver been more hopeful
than at present. Nearly all the
foreign nations are clamoriug for
bimetallism, and seeing that "a sin
gle gold standard of money is an
'iridescent dream" there appears
to them no alternative but to place
the white metal in its proper rela-
tions to the commerce of the
world.
Many Of the leading fnanciers
of this country who have always
contended for the single standard

ness of their theories. Since the
characterization of silver, CONNER

DR.. James W. Walk, in a lecture on
Detectives" before the University Of
Pennsylvania, defined tho detectives as
Those members Of society having serious
mental or physical defects, either con-
genital OF acquired. This group COM
prised six classes-frst, the blind; sec
ond, the deaf mutes; third, insane;
fourth, tho feeble minded, or idiots;
Eth, the inebriates-whcre drunken
ness has become a disease-and sixth,
the e~pileptics.
Or. Walk took up each Of these class
ea and stated what he believed to be
the best way tO deal with them. OF the
blind and deaf he said: "Blind. deaf
and feeble minded children have 40
much claim to an education 90 others,
and since their defects prevent them
from receiving 1t In the ordinary public
schools Il is only just that they should
be instructed In schools especially adapt
ed to their condition. Such schools are
also a most economical investment Of
public money, for by means Of the train
ing they give the great majority Of the
blind and deaf mutes become self sup.
porting In adult life.
ITO ft blind children for self support
Il is necessary that their discipline
while at school should be rigid, so as to
Impart t~horoughness in the practice Of
the few industries, such as weaving and
music, which ure open to them. The
managers OF the best schools for the
blind now insist upon this rigid train
ing, and in this way sometimes incur
unpopularity among those who do NOT
understand their zeal motive.
For those Of tho adult blind who
cannot maintain themselves in open
competition with normal workmen
there should be founded in each state
industrial homes where they may reside
and labor. the deficiency in their earn.
ing being supplied by b~eRevolence.
Where such homes are well conducted
they are nearly self supporting.
Under the stimulus Of the popular
interest excited by the eloquent ad.
dresses Of the great philanthropist, Doro-
thea Dix, Pennsylvania many years ago
undertook to make adequate provision
for the insane at public expense. The
first institution tor their care In the
commonwealth was the insane depart
ment of the old Pennsylvania hospital.
We have now many asylums for these
people, but not enough yet to accommo-
date them all. Asylums should be 50
regulated that the inmates can work
and be self supporting"
DR.. Walk thought that idiots, or the
feeble minded, should not be permitted
to marry. OF epileptics he thought the
same, as their defects are hereditary.
Inebriates should be confined for a long
period, during which they would be
forced to abstain totally. This treat
ment. he said, results often in perma-
nent cure.-Philadelphia Press.

The little creature which possesses
the distinction of having more legs than
any other animal is that which belongs
to the family of insects known as mile
peds, or Thousand footed. There are
several different species Of these, but
they all possess the common character
istic of having segmented bodies, each
segment of which is provided with its
own pair of feet. These are set 50 close
ly along the body as to resemble hairs.
and when they move one after another
with perfect regularity the effect is pre-
cisely the same on a small scale as that
of a field Of oats undulating under tho
influence of the wind. Some species Of
millepeds have us many as $50 separate
aud distinct legs. They are all per-
fectly harmless, unlike the centipeds,
which frequently have the power of in
hicting poisonous wounds.-BrOoklyn

AT such a critical time as the
present, when the foreign nations
which have srrayed their financial
policy against silver, are beginning
to look upon the white metal with
favor, it is highly important that
the political blatherskite and mon
etary crank should be muzzled.
1t is their "mouthings" which
play the mischief. Keep them
down long enough for sensible,
conservative people to do a little
