HUXLEY AS A LECTURER.
A Sketch Of the Famous Scholar, Logician
and Agnostic.

and Agnostic.
In personal conversation Huxley was
full of humor and greatly enjoyed
stories at his own expense. Such was
the following: I'm my early period as
n lecturer 1 had very little confidence
in my general powers, but one thing
prided myself upon was clearness.
was once talking of the brain before
large mixed audience, and soon began
to feel that no one in the room under
stood me. Finally saw the thorough
ly interested face of woman auditor
and took consolation in delivering the
At the close my feeling as to her in
terest was confirmed when she came
up and asked if she might put one ques-
ton upon single point which she had
not quite understood. Certainly l
replied. Now, professor she said, 'is
the cerebellum inside or outside of the
skull?'" A story of his about babies
is also characteristic: "When fond
mother calls upon me to admire her
baby never fail to respond, and, while
cooling appropriately, / take advan-
tage of an opportunity to gently ascer-
tain whether the soles of it's feet turn
in and tend to sport my theory of
arboreal descent"
Huxley as a teacher can never be for
gotten by any of his students. He
entered his lecture-room promptly as
the clock was striking nine, rather
quickly, and with his head bent for
ward las il oppressive with it's mind"
He usually glanced attention to his
class of about 80 and began speaking
before he reached his chair. He spoke
between his lips, but with perfectly
clear analysis, with thorough interest,
and with philosophic insight which was
far above the average of his students.
He used very few charts, but handled
the chalk with great skill, sketching
out the anatomy of an animal as IL 1t
were a transparent object. AS in OAR
wins face, and as in Erasmus Darwin
or Buttons, and many other anatomists
with strong sense of form, his eyes
were heavily overhung by project
ing forehead and eyebrows and seemed
| at times to look inward. His lips were
| firm and closely set, with the express
sion of positiveness, and the other fea-
ture which most marked him was the
very heavy mass of hair falling over his
forehead, which he would frequently
stroke or toss back. Occasionally he
would tighten up the monotony OF
anatomical description by a bit of hui
NOR. l remember one instance which
was probably reminiscentof his famous
tilt with Bishop Wilberforce at the
meeting of the British association in
1860. Huxley was describing the nam
malian heart, and had justdistinguishet
between the. tricuspid valve on thu
right side of the heart and the bicuspit
valve on the left, which, you know, re-
sembles bishops mitre, and hene,
is known as the mitral valve. He said
1T is not easy to recall on which sid
these respective valves are found, bu

remember that the mitral is on the left
because bishop is never known to b

MANGER FOR HORSES.
Exceedingly Convenient whenever Stable
Room Is Limited

Wherever the room for the horse
stable is small, as it is where the stalls
are arranged across one end of the barn
in a Il or Ii foot space, where the horses
are to face the barn floor, this manger
will be found exceedingly convenient.
In place of the usual wide and deep
n,anger, construct a trough (a) not over
one foot wide or deep. Place rods
(b) the full width of the manger, just
far enough apart 50 that the horse can
get his nose between them to eat his
hay or fodder, which is placed upon the
slant support (m). This is hinged at the
