and hurried to the scene. They

Nettie stepped in, quietly closed

look pleadingly over the bar.
Never more will those honest lips

1t was told of Hannah More
that she had a good way of manag-
ing tale bearers. 1t is said that
whenever she was told anything
derogatory to another her invaria-
bic reply was, "Come, we will go
and ask if this be true" The effect
was sometimes ludicrouslY painful.
The tale bearer was taken aback,
stammered out a qualification or
begged that no notice might be
taken of the statement. But the
good lady was inexorable; off she
took the scandal monger to the
scandalized to make inquiry and
square accounts. 1t is not likely
that anybody ever a second time
ventured to repeat a gossipy story
to Hannah More. One would
think her method of treatment
would be a sure cure for scandal

School Of Athletics and Mental
Training.

School Of Athletics and Mental
Training.
The mere circumstance that dis
cussion has long been and still is
active in seeking to define the true
position of physical exercise in re-
lation to mental training should
suffice to prove the essential nature
of the connection which binds to-
gether these diverse methods of
education. Each Is in its own
place indispensable, and this fact
happily is in q agreater or less de-
gree recognized in every school
curriclum, even the most humble.
The reason is not difficult to find
when we consider how closely and
inseparably associated is the
health of the mind with that of
the body. II. IS not in the nature
of things that we should be cap
able of sustained and vigorous
mental activity unless due provis-
ion be made for the, publication
and nutrition of tissue, including
that Of the brain, by means of an
active circulation. The relation
between the latter and muscular
energy requires no explanation.
It is true that bodily activity does
not confer mental exertion. 1t is
also true that exceptional powers
of mind have displayed themselves
in persons physically weak; but
neither of these admissions affects
our present argument, which main
tains the certain advantage result
ing to ali mental processes, ordi-
nary or exceptional, from that
which promotes the health of their
indus in the brain.
A further benefit conferred by
physical training is its influence
upon character. A host of mush-
room frailties, vicees and foibles
break down in presence of such
vigorous growth as the resolution,
the endurance and the manly self
reliance engendered by a habit of
orderly and energetic action.
Justice, fairness and fellow-feeling
are developed by the same whole
some training, and thus many a
boy at school acquires unconscious.
ly that living force of charac-
ter without which intellect is but
a brittle gem. For obvious rea-
sons our public schools have taken
a leading part in promoting physi-
cal education in this country. The
pupils trained in them are, in very
many cases resident, and the con.
sequent responsibility for their
bodily health imposed upon teach.

stringent, method in the manage

Matrimonial Troubles.

A Connecticut man got a divorce
because "the defendant would not
get up in the morning, nor call
this plaintiff, nor do anything she
was told"
A New York wife was granted a
divorce becauss her husband threw
the baby at her when she hit him
with the coal bucket for splitting
on the stove.
A Missouri divorce was once
granted because "the defendant
goes gadding about leaving this
plaintiff supperless, or if he gets
any he has to cook it himself. "
In Minnesota a decree was given
to the wife because "the defendant
never cuts his toenails, and being
restless in his sleep, scratches this
plaintiff severely"
A Michigan wife was released
because the husband did not pro.
vide the necessaries of life, saying
he would not work his toenails of
for any woman"
In Pennsylvania a henpecked
husband was relieved from the
yoke of matrimony because "the
defendant struck this plaintiff Q
violent blow with her bustle."

MAY LOSE THE TOWN.

Serious Decision Against the Southern
California Railroad.
An interesting case promises soon to
appeals, says the San Francisco Chroni.
Gle. That tribunal will be asked to
reverse decision by which the Califor-
mia Southern Railroad company, q
branch OF the Santa Fe system, has
been deprived OF all property rights in
the town OF Barstow, San BernRrdino
county.
Attorney Henry Ach of this city en-
joys the distinction OF having won from
the railroad the entire town. Ach rep
resents Jesse Lilienthal OF New York,
successor in interest to one Bugbee, who
was the original settler on the property
in controversy. Baretow il situated on
the land claimed by Bugbee, and, being
the terminal point of the California
Southern line, is town OF no little i'm
portance. Some 20 acres OF land the
railroad improved by the erection OF
depot buildings, machine shops and
storehouses and the mapping out OF
switch yards, depot grounds and the
like.
All of this valuable property the rail-
road now stands in fair way to lose in
consequence OF decision rendered in
favor of Lilienthsl By Circuit Judge
Ross at Los Angeles.
Lilienthal sued to eject the railroad
company. claiming that the corporation
occupied his property without any right
of law.
The railroad claimed title growing
out OF the act of congress OF 1875, provid.
ing how and in what manner railroad
corporations might acquire right OF way
for station grounds. switch yards and
the like.
Judge Ross held. however, that the
railroad did not comply with the pro-
vions of the law. He considered that
the title OF Lilienthal could not be inn
peached, and directed judgment &C.
cordingly. The effect of the courts de.
cision was to award Lilienthal practically
the entire town of Bsrstow, together
with all the railroad company's build.
ings and other improvements.
Counsel for the railroad did not rest
quietly under this sweeping judgment.
but promptly presented motion for
new trial. That motion Judge Ross has
now denied in an opinion which still
more strongly sffirms the rights of
Lilienthal.
