The Memory of Movement.

DR.. Schneider, Of Jurieff (Dorpat),
acting on the advice of PrOfes Sor liz,
has made a series Of observations on
the effect of the lapse CT memory Of
movements. These are published as
a graduation dissertation Gn
Russian). The method adopted was
to fix the right arm Of an intelligent
person so that only the wrist could
move and to tie a pencil to the fore
finger so that a curved line could be
marked on a piece Of paper ruled I'M
milimeterS. The person was blind
folded and requested to draw a
line, and, after a definite interval of
time, he was asked to draw another
as nearly as possible of similar
length; the length of this was COM
pared with that of the first line and
the error noted. Altogether 1000
experiments were made with three
individuals, the mean error after
half a minute being one twenty
ninth: after two minutes, one
twenty-eighth; after six minutes,
one twenty-fourth; after ten minutes,
n twenty-flrst; after fifteen min
utes, M seventeenth Of the length
of the original stroke, thus showing
that the memory Of movements
grows rapidly less and less accurate
even during the fist few succeeding
minutes. Scientific American.

Thanksgiving day-a poor day to be
travelling. Nevertheless, the Chicago
express speeding toward Elmira, n.
", has on board John DE Long OF Chi
cago. Time, $50 p. m. Jack is feel
ing down on his luck. Called home by
an urgent telegram in the midst OF the
Thanksgiving vacation of his senior
year, he has missed a Thanksgiving
dinner with a jolly party OF his college,
mates, to say nothing of a broken en-
| gagement for the german with the
| prettiest girl in Binghamton. When
| he pays the parlor-car conductor 80
I. cents for a seat to Hornellsville and
engages q berth in the sleeper to be
put on at that station he makes the
| discovery that he has but So. II current
coin of the realm in addition to his
Nket to Chicago. This does not add
cheerfulness to his frame of mind.
His gloomy meditation is broken by
the arrival of the train at Elmira. On
the station platform, in response to
his telegram, are two gentlemen-Mr.
Richard Robbins and Mr.. Alfred jam
eson-classmates and residents OF Eli
mira. Jack Jumps off, and an animated
conversation follows. AT this lu%ncture
a group appears upon the station plat
form-two young ladies', an elderly
lady, and a 10-year-old girl.
Jack-"Boys, who's the young lady
in the ulster; I've seen her some
where?"
Dick-"Miss Dodge: you met her here
last winter at our german. Don I
know the one in sealskin."
The young lady in the ulster bows to
Jacks friends. The girl in sea skin
enters the parlor car. opens the win
dow and converses with her friends.

is always scrupulously neat in ap.
pearance and gives those who meet
him IN impression of refinement, of
delicacy and Of purity such as one is
more apt to get from a nice young
girl than frOm.any man, however good
he may be.
The Doctors Crusade.
From another point of view DR..
Parkhurst Is intensely interesting.
He is a conspicuous instance of what
one man can accomplish, even with
great odds against him. He shows
also what a force the feeling we call
duty" is as a motive power. 1t was
about twelve years ago that DR.. Park
hurst was called to the pastorate of
the Madison Square Presbyterian
Church, one Of the wealthy aud aris-
tocratic churches of New York City.
For years he preached there his schol-
arly, quiet, unimpressive sermons,
made his parOchial visits to his rich
parishiOneIs, lived his life of grace.
full ease and luxury, and employed
himself in study, pleasant work and
recreation. Suddenly he discovered
certain facts as to the immoral condi-
tion of New York life which he had
not dreamed of before. He was
amazed and Mortified, and his horror
and wonder grew on him. One Sun
day he preached a sermon such as he
had never preached before. That
day was the turning point in DR..
Parkhurst's life and in New York'a
moral history. Driven by a sense of
duty, DR.. Parkhurst now left that
life of pleasant clerical ease and de-
termined to devote himself to purify
ing New York and taking away tho
city's reproach.
Parkhurst's Great Work.
He received the support Of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Crime, OF
which he was president, and, armed
with this power, he set to work max
ing Investigations. He was soon c n
WINGED that the whole system Of mu-
nicipal government was rotten, and
that therefore vice and lawlessness
were rather encouraged than re-
pressed. In the face of sneers and
opposition, Notwithstanding SANDER
and calumny, the Doctor kept on
Finally he appeared before the grand
jury and laid before it the result of
his Investigations. Indictments were
found by it on the strength of Dr.
Parkhurst's evidence against one
police captain, and testimony was
given duplicating several others. The
tide of public opinion turned now in
DR.. P%arkhurst's favor, and instead Of
being termed crank" and sneered at

at Buffalo! never expected to see
you again. You looked positively saw

HE was a triAe chilly. And then to

pocketbook, opening it, and producing

"Yes-no; | don't know"
ayes you do. Read what's written
right under your name in this letter."

be eaten at Marshall Mich, the one

Tomb of PeleD.

In the year $50, A. D., while work
men were engaged in trenching the
salt mines in Prussia, they unearthed
a triangular building in which was a
column Of white marble. At the
side of the column was a tomb of
.freestOne and over it a slab of agate
inscribed with these words, which are
in Latin: "Here rests the ashes Of
Peleg, great architect of the Tower
Of Babel. The Almighty had pity
on him because he became humble"

AN INTEL LIG ENT COMMUNITY.

AN INTELLECT ENT COMMUNITY.
 Congressman PIgott of New Haven and the Second congregational district of Con- necticut has been so long away from this region that he has lost track of what Is go- ing on here. And In his efforts to help carry out the noble national policy of his party he has lost sight of the petty and local interests of the Second Congressional district of Conneo- ticut. His soul burns within him ss he oontemplates the divinely philanthropic theory of free trade and the glorious equity of the income tax. And as 1t burns the spirit of prophecy moves him and he opens his mouth and speaks, say ing: I believe that every Democratic be returned to the next House. I base this belief on the fact that 90 intelligent com munity could not do otherwise. These men were sent here to vote for reduction of tariff dnties. They have done so. Is 1t reasonable to suppose that their constltu- ents did not know what they wanted, and, knowing that, is 1t reasonable to suppose that they are not satisfied with what Is being donef
 Intelligent community" is entirely right, though the community that elected Brother PIgott is not intelligent in exactly the sense he means. His idea is that it was intelligent when 1t elected him, | and that 1t will bs intelligent in the same way when he comes up | for re election this fall. If Brother PIgott
 had kept we'll informed concerning his
 community he would realize that there hai
 been a change and that the intelligence
 which prevails here is not the kind
 that prevailed here two years ago. In
 deed, 1t Is SO different that those who fee
 that they are intelligent now are kicking
 themselves with great vigor and accusinl
 themselves of great lack of intelligence
 when they voted for him and the fan
 tastic theories he SO persistently and abl.
 advocates. He asks, Is 1t reasonable tt
 suppose that those who voted for hin
 didn't know what they wanted, an,
 reasonable to suppose that they are no
 satisfied with what is being done, Thi is a very logical theory, but, as | ! the case of the logical theory c free trade, the facts seem to b against it. Those who voted fo him are ready to admit that the thought they knew what they wanted whe they did 1t, but now they don't know wh they thought so, and as for being satisfie with what is being done they are sadly an sarcastically ipquiring what Is being dor
 to satisfy them.
 I Brother Pigott should come home ft awhile If he can get away. It would , him good to zee how intelligent this con ' munity Is. ...-
