Boyhood owes debt Of gratitude to
"The British Medical Journal" which,
in one Of its recent issues, explodes the
fallacy with regard to early rising.
Courageously turning its back on all
the wisdom Of the past, and in fragrant
contradiction with all those writer's of
moral essays concerning greatness
achieved by early rising, this leading
medical authority takes the part Of the
sleepy youth against his wakeful par
ents. We learn now that it is natural
and proper for elderly people to rise
at 5 or 6 a. m, because their vascular
system has become stiff; but that it is
equally natural and proper for the
healthy boy to keep his bed till g..
Henceforth boys must deny them
selves such violent delights as rising
with the lark, and their elders must
cease encouraging them in so vicious
a practice.

FIGHT WITH A MORPHINE FIEND.


A San Francisco Physician Has a Mar
row Escape from Being Murdered.
DR.. w. o. Wilcox, the demonstration
of anatomy in the California Medical
college, had a narrow escape from
death yesterday at the hands OF mad
dened morphine eater, says a San
Francisco dispatch. DR.. Wilcox re-
turned from the college Of the faculty
about II o'clock. In the patients sit
ting room stood young man OF about
20 years Of age, with that sallowness
of complexion which indicates the ex-
cessive use of some deadly drug. Il
detected that he was morphine fiend I"

which my eye rested was a six-ounce
bottle Of chloroform. I quickly grab

some Of the liquid into his face. II

Some things about the administration
Of city affairs in Boston may not be
all that they should be, but the pro
posal to do away with the city council
will not better the matter. 1t will only
place the government further from the
people. The danger of corruption is
always increased when power is con-
centrated in few hands. Such power
naturally tends to concentration, and
this tendency is one that ought to be
discouraged instead of being fOstered
by legislation. If the people have not
enough public spirit to keep the Off
cials honest when they have the right
of self government, there will be no
improvement by taking the power from
them. The political bosses who will
rule by autocratic power will be then
subject to no restraint.

The latest marvel IN electrical inven-
tons is that Of telegaphing from Scot
land 10 the Island Of Null by Undue
ton, that is, without any wire connect
ing the stations. The principle is not
a new one, but hitherto its application
has been limited to short distances
through the earth or water. In the
case reported it was successfully used
at long distances through the air. If
this can be made feasible important
changes in telegraphie and telephone
systems are inevitable. The disappear
snee Of the unsightIy and dangerous
wires would be welcome on many ac-
counts.

Remarkable Surgical Case.

The death Of Thomas Nevin, the well.
known dry goods merchant Of Brook.
Ign. at Seney hospital the other night
brought to termination one Of the
most remarkable cases in medical his
tory. Last November, Nevin, who was
a fine-looking, splendidly proportional
man Of "a years began to complain OF
severe pains in the thighs, and went
to hospital. The surgeons determined
to expose the lower portion of the spine,
and remove any foreign matter which
the might possibly find. A diminutive
human body was found at the back of
the abdomen. The embryo was removed
and preserved in alchohol. The discov-
cry was one Of intense interest to the
hospital staff, and the explanation was
that the patient was one Of twins. and
the form found in his body is what is
known technically as an arrested de-
velopment.

Code Of ElephantIne Manners.

The following incident may prove in
struotive to some Of your numerous
readers, illustrating the power Of MEM
DRY in the matter Of instruction in the
code Of elephantine manners. While
visiting the Zoo some time ago 1 took
my children to see the elephant and
to give them a ride. After the ride 1
wanted to give the elephant bun. and
to make him say please" said "Salaam
kuro"-i. e., make salaam. The ami
NAL looked at me hard for some time
with the bun in my hand. At last mem
DRY came to his help, and up went his
trunk, and he made a most correct
"salaam." The keeper seemed very
much surprised and asked me what il
meant. l told him it was a point OF
good manners for an elephant to raise
his trunk up to his forehead If any
one was going to feed him, and that
frequently elephants will ask in this DO
lite manner for something when they
see any one pass by who Is likely to
feed them. The keeper assured me he
had never seen the elephant do this be-
fore, and If 1 remember rightly he had
been in charge of the animal since IL
arrived from India. and that II was
one Of those which took part in the
grand procession to Agra when his
royal highness, the Prince of Wales
visited India, and where / doubtless
saw it. For seventeen years this animal
had never heard these words.-London

cellent bass ishing, as we'll as some trout fishing that is not to be snee2nd at by any means, and the man who hae hooked the gamy bass from the pellncid depths of Hopatcong and Greenwood lakes in Jersey and trout in the AdiTon- dacks is as partial to his fayohte hAhtne places as are those who angle in New England. There is fine sport to be had, too, in the St. Lawrence, and all along the chain of the great lakes from the Thousand islands to Duluth.
 Pennsylvania is fisherman's heaven, too, as every one knows, and, in fact, there is good fishing in every state and territory in the Union, to say nothing of Canada, some of whose lakes and streams are almost overflowing with finny bean. ties. At this time of the year, when the open season is begun or about to begin everywhere, the number of happy 6SheE- men who are taking prizes from the streams and lakes mnss be very large. You and l, pNAdAF, wish them an every success and sufficient invention to taO good stories of their achievements Whath- CT they catch many fish or not, since more anglers Teputations undoubtedly depend on we'll conceived, well related yarns than on actual strings of fish.

SPEED OF WILD DUCKS AND GEESE.
The Ducks Make Over Sixty-six Miles an
 Hour and Outily the Geese.

The Ducks Make Over SiKty-six Miles an
 Hour and Outtiy the Geese.
 Of all the migratory birds tho Ar, :i- can wild pigeon and black duck are well rapid flight, The speed of the pigeons can only be estimated, while that of the ducks can be established by observation. Some years ago the writer and a scien- tific friend measured off on the shore of large western river line exactly three miles long. and each took a station at opposite ends of the line. The object was to note, by means of preconcerted signals. the time flock of wild ducks took i'll passing up or down the river, near tho stations.
 During threc hours on the morning of bright October day, observations wero noted of the times of passing the stations of nine different fiocks. Upon comparing watches it was found that the average time was minutes and 42 seconds, thus showing the speed per hour to ho 6G ? miles, or one mile in 54 seconds. As showing how uniform was their flight, n difference was found of only five seconds between the greatest and tho least intervals of time
 As numerous flocks of wild geese wero daily flying ill tho same neighbor- hood observations wero also taken to test their hourly speed. Two points twenty nine and one-third miles apart were se- lected, both of which were connected by telegraph. We succeeded in identifying four out of seven fiOcks which passed over both places during the four days We were on the watch. The mean hour ly speed was found to be fraction over 54 miles. The wild goose has been long supposed to be the swiftest of all water fowl, but this experiment. shows that be is far behind the wild duck.-New York World

FISHING COTTAGE ON RAHGRLEY LAKE
 upon the banks of its lakes and streams means that many dollars will be left within it's borders. Away up in the northern end of the state is the chain of Connecticut lakes, and these beauti- ful sheets contain millions of fish. Lake trout and salmon are to be found in the waters of New Hampshire as we'll as brook trout, and every ono of the crys- taIIlne bodies of water bearing such names aS PcnacoOk and Winnepesaukee. the streams of the Pemigewasset and similarly named wales, and many little P''lS. such "s Hot Hole and the like, ;oe at this moment being whipped most vigorously and successfully.
 Of course the fishing of New England Is not confined to Vermont and New Hampshire. Maine is one of the most famous uf tishcrmen's states. aud the Rangcley lakes are among the most famous of fishermen's lakes. He who casts his flies on the lakes of Maine must needs possess an agile tongue and an in dia rubber jaw if he would tell his friends where he has been a-flshing, for he must be able to correctly pronounce such combinations of letters as CupSup- tic and MooSelooknegantic, to say noth- ing of Seabago, Memphremagog and Pushac. Muskellunge and bass and perch as well Us brook and lake trout and salm- on are to be found in some of the Maine waters. and no doubt pickerel, pike and other varieties. though the pro- fessional writers of Maine angling do not deign to say anything about such plebeian fish as those last named
