| DR. NASH, the new Pre6lQ6nt OF LON
bard. arrived in Galesburg on Monday
night. Although the hour was late he
was met at the depot by large crowd
of the enthusiastic students and escorted
to his hotel. He formally entered upon
his duties the next day. Success to the
new incumbent of this important trust.
| Professor Cesare Lombroso, who ad
vises that children and youths of habit
ual criminal tendencies be isolated as
lunatics, says there is scarcely child
who does not abuse his powers over
those who are weaker than he is. Yes:
and over those stronger as well. The
brood Of fond mammas and indulgent
papas and grandparents can testify to
this delightful tyranny of the children.
The only despotism at which we do not
revolt is that imposed by love, and the
children are the foremost despots of the
world.
Amid the voluminous writing in re-
gard to atrocities perpetrated in Arme
MIA and the present situation in Tur-
key, correspondent from Constantine
pie. whose letter appears in recent
Boston paper, seems to have seized the
strong points in the general situation.
and sums up intelligently as follows:
The concord between the powers has limlta-
| tiOns as to its ext mt of actit n. The powers
will do nothing so far-reaching in its effects on
| Turkey as to endanger the peace of Europe.
| This is the first consideration. and the improve
ment of the state of Turkey is the second. The
| inertness of Russia is due to England and not to
| her own unwillingness to act This state of af-
fairs gives no cheering prospect for immediate
and lasting improvement in Turkey. and 1t
| seems now as If a European war over the dis
| memberment of the empire we're imminent, If
there is such war 1t will very probably be be-
tween Russia, France and Germany on the one
side, and England, Italy and Austria on the
| other. 1t is thought, however. that Russia may
make an alliance with Turkey on the basis of a
sort of vassalship of the new sultan (whoever it
may be) to the czar.
Meanwhile, SO long as the powers merely
threaten the sultan with fleets. unaccompanied
with means for climbing mountains. he simply
chuckles and proceeds with his crueltles and
outrages. while suavely declaring all the time
that neither cruelty nor outrage exists save in
the imagination of the English liberals and of
the American missionaries.

HERE is something about the Japan
ese that was not included in Bro. Rice's
convention address. In japan the nose
is the only feature which attracts after
tion. The nose determines the beauty
or ugliness of the face, according as it is
big or small. This is probably due to
the fact that difference in noses con-
stitutes about the only distinction be-
tween one Japanese face and another.
In Japan a lady who has a huge pre-
boscis is always great beauty and
reigning belle.
