HoGARTH's TAIL PIECE

"Tail-piece." This title Hogarth, the
celebrated English painter, gave to his
last work. Grouped in an ingenious
manner. he painted the following list to
represent the end of all things: a broken
bottle; the but end of an old musket;
an old broom worn to the stump; a bow
unstrung; a crown tunbled to pieces;
towers in RUINS; q cracked bell; the sign
End falling down; the moon, in her
wane: a gibbet falling, the body gone,
and the chains which held it dropping
down; the map of the globe burning;
P,hoebus and his horses lying dead IN the
h~our-glass and scythe broken; a tobacco
out; a play-book opened, with the exeunt
oInnes stamped in the corner; a statute
Of bankruptcy taken out against nature;
and an empty purse.
Hogarth reviewed this work with a sad
and froubled countenance. Alas! some
thing lacks. Nothing, is wanted but
broke it and the brushes, and then with
his pencil sketched the remains. ."Finis

MUSCULAR FATIGUE.
Cerebral Anaemia May Result from
OveryVork.

VV6fyVOrks
M. Mosso, in a book that he has just
published upon intellectual and physical
fatigue, presents the results of his
periments CONCERNING the fatal conse-
quences of too prolonged muscular eff
forts. They merit the attention of teach
ers and parents.
He has studied the quail which cross
the Mediterranean every year from At
RIGA to Italy, and which arrive so ex-
hausted that they hit their heads against
the cornices of the houses; they are like
blinded birds. He has laid bare the
brains of carrier pigeons that had just
made a course of 500 kilometers, and has
found their brains pale. almost bloodless.
Now, cerebral anaemia, resulting from
this overwork, is the ruin of the intel
lectua1 faculties.
M. Mosso has been fortunate in having
the opportunity to demonstrate this upon
a patient, a man named Bertino, who had
an opening two centimeters in width in
the frontal region. He covered this hole
middle a glass tube, connected by a rub
Der tube to a drum furnished with an in
seribing lever, thai traced on q turning
transmitted to the drum
The carotid artery was compressed, the
brain still receiving blood through the
tebrae of the neck. However, from the
first moment to the third pulsation, the
diminution of volume of the brain was
graphically visible; at the beginning of
the eighth the pulsations were hardly
sensible; at. the. twelfth pulsation, after
eight seconds of cerebral anaemia, Ber-
tho lost consciousness and fell into a
couvulsive fit.
We see by this experiment how serious
all trouble from lack of cerebral nutri-
ton is forhthe Intelligence. The brain is
the first affeoteG Of all the organs When
poisoning of lii blood from fatigue be-
gins. The exaggerated development Of
sports, athletic EXERCISES, is dangerous to
the intellectual future of our race, and
an INJURY to future generations.

The Plainfeld School Teacher
Who So Myteriously Disap-
peared Still Missing.
Special % the JerseaJc itv Neus.

~PLAfNFIELD. Aug. 16, 1S95.-Fhe mys-
terry surrounding the disappearance last
Friday of Miss Loretta Clark, who came
here to open a fashionable school for
young women, has deepened. Those who
know most about it and who might
naturally be expected to show the great
est anxiety. refuse to talk and are COM
posed.
J,amaes Fl. MARITIME, the Democratic
leader of this county, from whom she
leased the Harmed Institute buildings,
where she was going to open her school,
indignantly denies that there may be a
romance back of Miss Glark's going
away. but it was Mr.. MARITIME himself
who made that suggestion before the
disappearance was made public. The
suggestion a been received with many
doubts. because Miss clark's brother
in-law and niece returned to their home
in Syracuse last night apparently in a
cheerful frame of mind.
Nobody can be found who saw Miss
Clark leave here Friday morning. When
she babe her niece, Miss Irene M.

1t has been suggested that she became
convinced that the attempt to found

she was afraid of the financial result,
and so abandoned the whole thing. The
trouble with that theory is that she

she might have one to get prices for
her school supply, but they did not find
a trace of her, SO far as Is known.
Miss. Clark's personal effects were
packed up and shipped to her sister in
Syracuse yesterday. This strengthens the
belief that her relatives are not with
out knowledge of her whereabouts.
Miss Clark is about FIVE feet tall and
rather stout. with light brown hair and
eyes and a fan skin. She is forty years
old. When she is talking she displays
gold filings in her front teeth. She
wore a brown travelling suit when she
left here. She was for eight years a

ELIZABETH, Aug 16, 16a5.-Assembly-
man Charles N. Codding, who is one OF the
VOORHEES, boomers in Union county, was IN
town last night discussing the political situa-
ton with some of the Republican leaders. The
A~ssemblyman is much agitated over a report
that the Griggs men are claiming that their
f~avorite will get fifteen votes out OF Union
county, if no choice be made on the first bal
lot taken at the convention. The hackers OF
Senator Rogers, of Camden, are also claim
ing that he will get seven votes in the Union
delegation.
MI. Codding has become alarmed oyer
these rumors, and hence his trip to Elizabeth
to confer with the managers of the voorhees,
boom. The Assemblyman also had a chat
while here with some of John kean's
staunchest supporters, to whom he did not
hesitate to mention his fears as to the al
legged strength of the Griggs following IN
Union county. Mr.. Codding wants, he
saws, by all means a man from this county
to carry off the prize, and if it can't be his
friend voorhees,, then John kean, it is said,
is his second choice.
