 The patrlla, or knocpHn, projects in front of the kEce to afford a proper fulcrun for some of the muscles of motion.
 The joints cndurc much use because they nrc constantly fabricated by an oil se- crcted by glands specially adapted to that purpose,
 Moderate cold Is stimulant because it drives blood from tho surface of the body and induces exercise in order to restore cir culatiOn.
 The ears have become immovable on ac- count of the extrcIne mobility of the neck muscles For the same reason the eyes of tho owl are fixed in his head.

WE believe the line of action taken by the democrats before the legislative committee in the charter matter was wrong. A strong and united fight on the ground that the charter ought to be submitted to the peoPls would. We think, have won the committee, irrespective of party.
 EVERYBODY is glad that President Cleve- land drclded not to court martial Admiral Meads for bis recent very indiscreet re- marks in printed interview. That he was guilty of serious lnfraction of tn, naval regulations one for which q younger officer would have deserved severe punishment, there is no doubt. But the admiral has grown old in the service. is high tempered and has discrdersd liver which makes him see things to worry him in incidents that others would never notice. the refore every body is glad that he will escape with a reprimand. and on every hand is heard the wish that s cretary Herbert will make that as Ii lht as possible,

BANQUET WINS AGAIN.

 For STsSO.

NEWMARKET. England, May 17.-The Americans put one moro racs to their credit by winning the selling race with good old Banquet. who Is known over here ns Banquet IL He beat large field of good class horses by half a length in drive and won for his party largo amount of money.
 Banquet was entered to be sold for 500 Eovereigns. When he was put up for sale, a large crowd gathered around AuctinneeE Feist, and the price rose by bids of &-O until an offer ot El, 900 was made. whom there was pause. Soon, however, tho bidding was resumed and contiuued until bid of l,5lO guineas (S7. 550) was made, at which price the horse was bought in by Mir. Dwyer.
 The amount paid by Mir. Dwyer is al most without precedent in a selling race here and rendered the race six times moro valuable to the second horso than to tho winner.
 Banquet's win yesterday was sort of wet blanket to the growing EnGlishmen, who had been abusing the Americans and their methods since Stonenell's defeat on Wednesday.
