MANUFACTURING BRAINS.

1mbeci1e Children and How They Are Inn
proved Mentally.
The education of the imbecile is one
tions of message, which at the outset
must be unusually sharp and clear and
unconfusing. If it is the sight and hear
ing which are to be improved, the pupil
is placed in dark room, and into it's
darkness single ray of bright light is
admitted. And when this startling and
antithetical phenomenon has caught and
riveted the child's attention, by repeti-
ton, a slide is passed through the beam
of light, with sharply defined forms
painted or engraved upon it-simple
forms, too, such as the square or tri-
angle or star. Then the names Of these
figures are clearly and distinctly and re-
peatedly pronounced, the name sounded
each time the object is exhibited.
This is an example of the necessities
of an extreme case-a very apathetio
and unobservant child. Usually it will
be sufficient to exhibit objects by lifting
them from the table and simultaneously
telling their names. This must be done
over and over again until the nerve
fbers and brain cells are stimulated in
to reader action and developed into full
er and more perfect performances Of nor
NAL functions
The imbecile child's brain is improved
in the same way as the biceps muscles
are more and more enlarged. This is
done by the repeated use Of small dumb
bells at first and then by the gradual
substitution of heavier and heavier
weights.
The tenure of human life is so short
that all that can be done for such ex-
IRENE types is to enthrone the disen-
throned moral sense. It would require
an eternity to tone up the five physical
senses. Nervous idiots are much more
promising pupils and show remarkable
mental improvement in a short time.
But the physical senses are always i'm
proved with the improvement of the
moral sense A child who has been
taught how not to be an animal indoors
will have more appreciation of color,
and child who has learned not to cry
and scream on the slightest pretext will
have far better regulated sense Of
touch, smell and hearing. York

IN FAVOR OF HORSE MEAT.
Veterinarians Say They Know of No Of
lection to Its Use.

Veterinarians Say They Know of No OBJ
lection to Its Use.
"Shall we eat horse?" Is a question
which a Philadelphia newspaper has
been putting to leading veterinarians.
While none of them answered squarely
In the affirmative, there was general
concurrence in the opinion that horse
meat makes rather good eating at
pinch. Francis Bridge said, ''The flesh
is as nutritious and in flavor as good as
that of the bovine, and see no good
reason to interdict it's use as human
food" W. L. Zuill declared that he
would eat it in preference to pork. It
is more juicy and Of better flavor than
Ok fesh,'' he said. S. J. J. Hargar,
who had once eaten a mule tenderloin,
found it inferior in fiber and taste to
beef.
E. M. Michiner thought that horse
flesh was not injurious to "human
health" and he pointed out that nei-
ther tuberculosis, actinomyoosis or tri-
4uhina was found in the horse, the ex-
ception being noted that rare cases of
tuberculosis had been recorded. John
W. Gadsden believed that the flesh of
young horses properly cooked was good
for man, and he thought that if horses
got much cheaper there would be a
great temptation to try it. :" Samuel G.
Weber said: '"The flesh Of the horse
seems to remain tender with age and
has more pungent SAVIOR than that OF
other animals. From these superior
qualities it may readily be seen why it
should be more digestible than other
meat, whioh often comes from animals
which are prematurely as well as ex-
cessively fattened. In Europe, where
raw meat is prescribed by physicians, it
is generally that Of the horse. They
claim it is more healthy for those I'M
dergoing severe muscular exercise and
more nutritious for the weak and an9-
mic. :"
Alexander Glass sounded warning
in the following experience: "In two
instances, when ate horsefesh, found
the meat very tender and rather pleas
ant to the taste. At the time I could
not shake off the thought, what if this
horse had incipient glanders?' for some
Of that meat was very rare. Several
years ago DR.. Huidekoper of Philadel-
phia invited some members Of the Phil
adelphia club and Of the City troop to
dinner, at the conclusion of which he
announced to his guests, who were much
pleased with the repast, that they had
dined off the carcass of his old white
horse Fedora.

Lincoln ON Equality.

In speech at Chicago in 1858 Lincoln
said:
"My friend has said that am q poor
hand to quote Scripture. will try it
again, however. It is said in one of the
admonitions of our Lord, AS your Fa-
ther in heaven is perfect, be re also
perfect. The Saviour, I suppose, did
not expect any human creature could be
perfect as the Father in heaven, but he
said, AS your Father in heaven is per-
feet, be ye also perfect. He set that up as
a standard, and he who did most in
reaching that standard attained the
highest degree of moral perfection. 80 !

men are created equal let it be as
nearly reached as we can. If we cannot

NO CASH "TIps" FOR WOMEN.
They Get Only Smiles and Smirks From
Men at Restaurants.

In restaurants where women are en-
ployed as walters the average man seems
to be of the opinion that smiles or
smirks are tssntamount to ''tips," al
though they cost the giver nothing and
have no cash value anywhere, except
perhaps as elements to be considered in
estimating damage in breach of promise
suits. Why man should consider it
more or less obligatory on him to give a
gratuity to the man who waits upon
him, be he white or colored, while his
conscience relieves him of all such obi
cations when woman performs SIM
liar service for him, is one of those mys-
teries which the feminine mind is in
capable of solving. I have conversed
with several 'waitresses'' on the SUBJ
ject, and they have always told me that
they would infinitely prefer dimes to
smiles more especially as their pay is
SO small that the problem of making
both ends meet is for them particular
ly hard one
1t may be said III defense of mascu-
line custom in this matter that the con-
duct of the recipients of these amatory
demonstrations would justify the opin-
ion that they prefer them to small pc
cuniary emoluments, but the cruel fact
is that the girl employed in restau-
rant who doesn't act more or less as a
flirt stands no chance of retaining her
position. A complaint of customers
familiarity instead of causing him to be
rebuked would more likely result in her
own dismissal It isn't alone for watt
ing that she is paid. She is expected to
make herself attractive.
There are many men of an economical
turn Of mind whose patronage of restau-
rants where women are employed is
largely due to the fact that at such
places they can refrain from Tipping
without being suspected Of meanness.
And dime saved is 20 cents earned.
But all the same woman who waits
on a table in restaurant is just as
much entitled to 'stip" as man, and
the fact that she doesn't get it is only an
other link in the chain Of evidence which
shows that the average man will always
take advantage of a woman in pecuniary
matters if he gets a chance-that is to
say, for doing the same thing he will
always pay woman less than he will a
man.-New York Herald.

Looking Backward.

The superstition of the i'll luck Of
looking backward or returning is a
very ancient one, originating doubtless
from Lots wife, who Cooked back
from behind him. when he was led by
an angel outside the doomed city of the
plain. In Roberts "Oriental Illustra-
tions'' it is stated to be considered ex-
ceedingly unfortunate in Hindoostan for
men or women to look back when they
leave their house. Accordingly, if a
man goes out and leaves something be-
hind him which his wife knows he will
want, she does not call him to turn or
look back, but takes or sends it after
him, and if some great emergency obliges
him to look back he will not then pro-
coed on the business he was about to
transact. "-Exchange.

HIGHLY Hun0rous.

An American who has been travelling
in England declares that he has seldom
found the average inhabitant of London
inclined to be discourteous. AS rule,
any information asked by a stranger is
given freely and kindly. But you must
not expect an Englishman to forego an
opportunity to make a good, robust
British joke
On one occasion the traveller happened
to be in the neighborhoed Of Millbank
prison and fancied that he would like a
glimpse at that famous place Of deten-
ton.
"Can you tell me She way to Mill
bank?" he asked of a stout tradesm an

Energy In Matter.

1t is estimated by Professor Dolbear
that lump of coal weighing a pound
has in 1t energy enough to lift its weight
1000 miles high. He says that this ell
ergy is inherent in matter; that every
particle of matter is constantly exerting
it's force ON every other particle, and
that if not prevented they will come to-
gether, no matter how far apart they
may be.

pena1ties For Careless Coachmen.

When an omnibus or cab driver runs
over foot passenger in London streets,
the possible loss of license exercises
wholesome restraint The private coach
man and the driver of the tradesman's
cart have far less conjunction in teach
ing an old gentleman to get out of their
way by running him down. At the
worst, they are fined. Not infrequently
their fines are paid by sympathizing
employer. But no one pays poor cab
mans fines, and the loss Of a license in
addition means the loss of his means of
a livelihood.
In Paris. we believe, the driver of
fiacre is generally allowed by the law to
run over one bourgeois in the course of
a year. In London magistrates are less
lenient Moreover, the law makes an
unfair and arbitrary distinction between
the claimants case and that Of the un-
licensed driver. The former is liable TO
be removed from the box for good and
all. The driver of the cart may continue
to urge on his wild career, though he
destroys several citizens in the course of
the year.-London Spectator.
