TEF TRAMp STORE NUTsANCE.

Last winter The Times took a stand
against tramp stores for the protection
Of buyers and in the interests of local
trade, and yesterday it had occasion to
once more refuse the advertising OF one
OF these concerns.
Tramp stores could not exist were it
not for their deceptive, delusive adver-
tising, and as newspapers, to a great ex-
tent, depend upon local Merchants for
their income, they should refuse such ad-
vertising, and in doing so protect both
the public and their best patrons from
these pests.
Tramp stores cannot sell good merchan-
disc any cheaper than do local merchants,
nor are they In any way responsible for
the guarantee of their sales. Generally
speaking, their goods are notorIously in
ferior, and they depend upon the gull
bIlity of purchasers to bring them large
profits from worthless materials.

Lectures of Physiological Interest by
Prof. Powell and DIR. Baker.
Two lectures of practical interest and
scientific value were delivered last night
before the Anthropo logical Society at
the Cosmos Club. Prof. MCGEE presided.
Prof. j. w. Powell Iectured on the relation
between the action of the mind and the
nervous system.
One OF the most interesting parts of this
discourse was Prof. Powell's definition
and discussion of sensation and per
ception. The former he defined to be
the faculty OF integrating like properties
and the latter the faculty of unifying un-
like properties. Prof. Powell treated
briefly OF sensation, perception, under
standing, and reflection, and referred
only to 'acception'' and demonstration"
TO be considered at another time.
DR.. Baker lectured with stereopticon Illus
tIations on the mechanism of sensation.
In this lecture he followed the reception Of
impu lses from the skin TO the brain
centerS, and explained each step with
anatomical demonstrations.
