| aud the amount of harm done tho Club by one
| member doing the sentimental through the
| United States mails can hardly be estimated.
How ridiculous such actions are to the trans
| gressors are not apparent, for, If they could
| "see themselves as ithers see Them, once only,

| act. ~

SOME QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER.
C. c. COMRADES AND FRIENDS Among the
many different publications that we receive,
there is none that is read with greater interest
and zeal than THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, and es-
pecially the Loyal Home Workers column, with
the many questions asked by the N. I. c. c.
Guards. During the past two years we have been
confined pretty closely TO our house, so that we
have done but little writing beyond answer
ing all communications received. And let me
say to those writing and sending photograph,
great or small. we will do our best to return the
same of ourselves.
We saw an article in the Issue of March 8,
1894, under Conversation Club, wishing to
know if some one could give little light upon
the science of phrenology and its adaptations
to our own intellectual Improvement.
Allow US to say, in reply, that phrenology is
j. true science.
g We have studied it and tested it on our
own head and upon others for so years, more
or less and know man can improve himself.
We refer our brother to the writings of DIR.
Combe, of England, and the Fowlers & Co., of
New York City, for the best authority on the
subject If the good brother had given his
postoffce address we would have written to
him personally, and will yet if he so desires it.
And now permit cripped-up old soldier a
few questions The first is modern question,
that will interest me very much during the
coming year.
]. What is Anthropologn?
2. What relation does il hold to modern
science?
3. What effect will it have upon the religious
thought of the age?
