He Lost the Case.

1t is we'll for a speaker to know
where his peroration is going to end
when he begins. A young lawyer
made his maiden speech. 1t was in
defence of a fellow who was about
half-witted, arrested on q charge Of
stealing a hog, the young attor-
ney having been appointed by the
court. His defence was that his client
was an idiot, and unable to distinguish
between right and wrong. He closed a
fowery speech with a perorati ton like
this:
Gentlemen Of the jury, look at my
client That low, receding forehead,
those lustreless eyes, pretend that he
was deprived by Nature Of the power
to distinguish right from wrong, ignor-.
ant of the distinction which exists be-
tween his own property and that OF
others. To him, as to the two-year
old child, whatever he wants and can
reach belongs to him. He knows net
Their why it does not. But gentlemen
Of the jury. such are the institutions
Of this our free and glorious country,

the law.-Tit-Bits.

Indicate as surely as any phys; symp'

and tissues Of the body are not satisfied
with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from the
blood, and il the blood is thin, impure,
or insufficient, they are in state Of re.
volt. Their complaints are made to
the brain, the king Of the body, through
the nervous system. and the result OF
the general dissatisfaction is what we
call Nervousness.
This is concise, reasonable explana-

The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood

healthful nourishment they crave. Ner-

way to strength and health,

IN A NUTSHELL.

British marines are landed on Nicar-
agusn soil, but Great Britain disclaims
that she wants to hold on TO any Of the
soil. Very likely she does not propose
to acquire territory. The United
States would doubtless stand in
the way. Great Britain is
very plausible, but the sophistry that in
spires her action in the matter Of the
Nicaragua claim may be appreciated if
we avoid the meshes of legal and consti.
t%utional discussion and revert TO the
veductio ad absurdum. Suppose Great
Britain had a claim against the United
States. Suppose the United States
should protest the claim. Suppose
Great Britain should send along her
altimntum and follow it by landing
marines in New York city.
OF course, all this supposing leads TO
IN absurdity. And yet the principle
behind 1T is the same that exists in the
Nicaragua case

the interest on his plant, besides the loss
caused by having the machinery idle,

and interest to keep his machinery
running, if possible, even if he has
to do so without profit, looking forward
for better times to loom up. We must
have patience until these dark days are

motto must be Protection for home in

LOOKING BACKwARDAT KINGSTON

Thus far THE News has analysed the
attendance at the Rhode Island College
of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts solely
for the purpose Of judging th,t insti-
luton by its record up to the present
time.
1t is easily possible, however; to fore
cast its future approximately for -four
years, from the same catalogues, at least
in the general line of argument adopted
by those connected with the college.
They claim that the school should be
a boarding school to insure the best re-
suits, and they have tried to conduct
such a school to date. Their aim has
beer to secure pupils who would board
at Kingston and complete the course.
OF the first freshman class of 80, 10
dropped out or changed from the regu-
lar course to special courses, and but II
remained to graduate in 1894.
The present Senior class of 8 consti-
tutes the graduating class of 1895. AS
Stunning that it will remain intact, it will
be over 80 per cent. smaller than the
class of 1894.
The Junior class of the latest cata-
logue. numbering s, will be the gradu-
ating class of 1896. If not diminished
by students leaving the school or chang
ing to special courses in the same ratio
as in previous classes, it will still num-
Der but s a year hence, or over 90 per
cent. less than the class of 1894.
The present Sophomore class of 10
will be the graduating class of 1897. If
1t does not dwindle it will still be less
than the graduating class of 1s94-the
remnant of the class that entered full of
enthusiasm when the school opened.
The Freshman class Of 20 will be the
graduating class Of 1898. This is less by
I'VE than the first class that entered the
school-and not one Of them has elected
to take the agricultural course.
Four classes like that of 1894 would
include 6S students, aud the catalogue
gives but 60 names out of which to
four such classes. These figures
serve to emphasize the claim of The
that the school is not only not
growing in the very direction it's man.
ayers assert it should grow, but has
shown and still shows a tendency to de-
rather than increase the number
Il its regular graduates.
We commend these figures with all
that we have presented to the
General Assembly and ask If it does not
