The "MentaI Grasp" of Sweet Cir
Graduates.

The ''MentaI Grasp" of Sweet Girl
Graduates.
eI was mother confessor at the queer
est confessional the other day." writes
the Autocrat of the Tea Table in the
Minneapolis Times. s'One of the sweet,
attractive girls, whom everybody likes,
said to me, with real concern in her
voice: DO you know, 1 never think. ,
tried not to smile at her seriousness,
and replied, consolingly: We'll, my
dear, you could not expect to grapple
with abstract problems at your age.
But she was not to be consoled. No,
but, literally, cannot think, abstract
ly or concretely, or any other way.
never reason anything out like other
people,
'-Yet she is a girl of unusual intelli-
gence and a high school graduate. 1t
seems to me there is something radical
| ly wrong with a system of education
that can produce such results. Train
ing is too much matter of knowledge,
and too little matter of growth. A
| fig for all the facts that can be learned!
A few good books of reference would
answer the purpose of education, if
knowledge were all it gave. 1t should
give rather mental grasp and balance,
and a perfect understanding and con-
troll of every faculty.
Mental grasp? Fancy accusing our
sweet girl graduates, or our boy grad
yates either, of possessing it. They
know little more of using their brains
than when they began their education.
What two young people were over
heard to talk sense for more than five
minutes together? What young person
has the least conception, unless he has
happened to stumble upon it by natural
tendencies. of the pleasure of indepcnd-
ent thinking? There are few delights
so satisfactory as that of observing,
reasoning, drawing deductions and then
finding in flash of recognition that you
have discovered for yourself some
truth you have heard all your life and
never fully comprehended. If only the
fevered, hurrying world would stop to
think. If only the youth of the day
were trained in the lost art of reason
ing!"

During the prevalence of the grippe
the past seasons it was noticeable fact
that those who depended upon DIR,

speedy recovery, but escaped all of the
troublesome after effects of the malady
This remedy seems to have a pecu1ia
power in effecting rapid cures not only
in cases of la grippe, but in all diseases
of throat, chest and lungs, and has cured
cases of asthma and hay fever of lons

GREAT SHOWER OF STARS.
1t Made Many People Believe That the
End of the World Had Come.

1t Made Many People Believe That the
End of the World Had Come.
The most imposing display of shoot
ing stars on record occurred on the
night of November 13, 1888, and was
witnessed in the greater part of civil
lied North America. To be exact, it
extended over the limits comprised be-
tween longitude sixty-one degrees in
the Atlantic and one hundred degrees in
Central Mexico, and from about the lat
itude of the Great lakes to the West
Indies, says the Philadelphia Press.
Seldom has nature exhibited scene
of greater or more awful sublimity. A
resident of the vicinity of. Niagara
falls gives the following accountof this,
the gr.rdest display of natural fire
works:
The two leading powers in nature,
water and fire, seemed to engage in an
cumulative display of their grandeur.
The deafening roar of the cataract
filed the mind of the spectator with an
infinitely heightened sense of sublimity
when its waters We're lightened by the
glare OF the meteoric torrent in the
sky. In Eany parts of the country the
people were stricken dumb, imagining
that the end of the world had come.

mind prevented them from yielding to
such terrors. We're nevertheless vividly
reminded of the grand description in
the Apocalypse, where it says: The
stars of heaven fell into the earth, even
as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs
when she is shaken of mighty wind -
In 1882 similar celestial exhibition,
though of lesser magnitude, was wit
messed along the Ohio river and off the
coast of Spain; the year before, 1881, a
great fall of stars was reported by
Capt. Hammonds, of the British vessel
Restitution, then sailing in the Indian
ocean. 1t is rather remarkable that
each of these ''star showers occurred

SIGNED THE WRONG Will.

He Put His Name to His VVife's VIII In
stead of His Own.
very curious case, in which u hus-
band executed a will which had been
prepared for his wife, and the wife exc
cuted a will which had been prepared
for her husband, has recently been de-
clared by the general term of
the supreme court of New
York, in the Fourth judicial depart
ment (Syracuse). John and Jane Nell
son, being husband and wife, wanted
TO make wills, each in favor of the 9TH
er, and employed William Cowie to pre-
pare the instrument, which he did in
due form.
The wills, says the Boston Argus,
were read and placed upon the table for
signature. Each then signed one of
the wills, made the requisite declara-
ton as to the character of the instru-
ment, and asked the subscribing wit
nesses to sign. After execution the
wills were sealed up in an envelope,
which was not opened until after the
husbands death, when it was discov-
cred for the first time that each had
by mistake signed the will intended for
the other. The wife brought suit in
the supreme court to correct her hus-
bands mistake in siguing the wrong
will by reforming the language of the
will which he did actually execute, so
rs to make it conform to that which he
certainly intended to execute.
Her complaint was dismissed at the
special term, however, and the appellate
branch of the supreme court holds that
the dismissal was right. Mr.. Justice
Martin, in the opinion of the general
term, says in substance that there is no
will to correct, because the husband
did not make any will at all. The in
strument that he executed was his
wife's will and of no more legal signif-
canoe than if it had been a blank piece
of paper. No precisely similar case is
reported in New York, but there are
English and Pennsylvania decisions in
point adverse to the position of the
wife

TRICKS OF THE IMAGINATION.

Strange Delusions Entertained by Highly
Nervous People.
A writer in a scientific journal gives
the following, respecting tricks of ex-
cited imaginations: can eminent New
York physician, who was fond of ex-
perimenting, told a friend that he had
compounded some wonderful pills, a
single one of which would cause GER
tain described symptoms. His friend
volunteered to take one. The symptoms
followed exactly as foretold; but the
pill was afterward noticed in the
tangles of a very full beard, not having
been swallowed at all. The doctors
faith in the potency of his pills was
such as to make him think that their
mere proximity to the mouth might
prove to be efficacious. But we by
ISLANDERS attributed the unquestioned
symptoms to the influence of an excited
imagination over the physical condi-
tOn. report has gone the rounds to
the effect that certain lady residing
in Bridgeport, Conn, in mortal agony
called her physician because she had,
as she supposed, swallowed her false
teeth. She could feel them far down In
her throat, and was actually choking to
death Eminent doctors consulted and
agreed to resort to tracheotomy, to
which they were about to proceed
when one of them happened to step
ON some object under the edge of the
bed, which, on examination, proved to
be the missing molars. AS soon as they
Were exhibited to the patient her con-
vulsions ceased and she recovered her
normal condition. Sitting the facts
from the sensational accompaniments,
there remains the delusion as to the
teeth, the calling for medical aid and
the finding of the teeth before the doc
tor arrived on the scene. But. even
thus modified, the case was quite re-
marlSable. 1t suggests instances OF

Sundry Theories, Wise and Otherwise, Re.

sundry Theories, Wise and Otherwise, Re-
garding It's Treatment.
For the prevention of seasickness a
curious notion seems to be common
that the stomach should be kept as full
as possible, says the Lancet. Thus
have we seen stout old men and women
take with praiseworthy persistence
had the result been satisfactory-bis-
cults, brandy and soda, apples, pint
of porter, red herring and various
other edibles and potables with an en-
tire want of success in retaining them,
a course of procedure peculiarly trying
to those who happen to be standing, or,
| rather, lying on the verge of the act of
| vomiting. Were we to counsel those
who are liable to this affection we
should recommend as follows: Take a
moderate meal two hours before going
on board. Remain on deck amidships,
| well protected against cold, as long as
possible As soon as the premonitory
symptoms appear retire to the berth,
| undress as quickly as possible and lie
| fat on the back for the first twelve or
even twenty-four hours without food.
Then take small portion of dry bread
and roast beef without fluid; this the
stomach will probably retain. If there
is much movement of the vessel lie
quiet again or even go upon deck, and
in the course of thirty-six or forty
eight hours the system will have re
covered itself and no further trouble
will be experienced. 1t is mistake
to introduce a quantity of fluid, even of
! strong coffee, into the f1accid stomach,
but if sickness persists glass of cham
pagne will probably prove serviceable.
In some few persons quinine or anti
pyrin, chloral or potassium bromide
may act well, but as rule medicine of
all kinds should be eschewed by those
who do not wish to aggravate what is
| already hard to bear

He Took an Exception.

Lawyer W recently argued case
before the supreme court of errors. When
he reached the supreme court chambers
ON the morning assigned for the hear
ing of his cause, he discovered that,
owing to the illness of one of the SUI
preme court judges, a judge of the su-
perior court had been called in to SIT
with the higher court. This did not
please Lawyer W, who therefore
addressed Chief Justice Andrews as fol-
lows:
Your honor, / claim my constitu
tional right of arguing this cause before
a full bench.

sponded the chief justice. "but l do not
see what redress you have unless
and the chief justice looked covertly at
the associate unless. he
added, you take an exception.

1t Was His Wife.

A score of times day the guides al
the capitol bring visitors into the room
of the committee on naval affairs on
the senate side and show to the visitors
the rich frescoes with which the walls
of the room are covered.
The paintings are works of Brumidi,
the famous Italian artist, and thereby
hangs romance.
Conspicuous on the walls are half a
dozen or mere female figures. 1t is
plainly evident that they are all painted
from the same model. The form is per-
feet, the face is sweetly attractive and
is marked by repose and gentleness
that is typically Italian. The figures
seem to float in midair, with drapery
falling with studied carelessness. Wheth-
er the woman is pictured as carrying
an anchor, or grasping flag, or intent
ly studying a scroll, the pose is easy,
natural and full of grace. Sometimes it
is the full face which looks down frcm
the walls; sometimes a glance is half
turned toward you; sometimes it is only
the sweep of the back and the curve of
a symmetrical neck which is visible.
But no matter what the pose or how
the woman is pictured, it is always EVIL
dent that she has been painted con
amore and that upon her form and fea-
lures the artist has fingered with low
ing touch.
And no wonder. The woman was
