The insult that has been offered
to prominent Republican and Dem
ocratic speakers during this cam
paign shows that feeling is tuned
up to the highest pitch, There
never was a time in our history
when the cool head of a great
statesman vas needed more than
at this moment at the head of the
government. It will take the
wisest of presidential material to
guide the stars and stripes Our of
the threatening storms of discon,
tent that tyranny and oppression
have produced. William Jennings
Bryan is the only man in public life
today that can save this country
from the horrors of internali strife.
The election of Bryan means peace,
while the election Of Mckinley
means a continuance of the present
unsatisfactory state Ofaffairs which
all must see will ultimately lead to
turmoil and revolution.

There has been new move made in the
Hartmann and Fehrenbach Brewing Com
pany case. In the Court OF Chancery on
Saturday the Security Trust and Safe De-
posit Company by petition set forth that
since the injunction was granted the direc-
tors had amended the bylaws so that any
stookho.der owning five shares OF stock
would be entitled to one vote. and that no
shareholder should be entitled to more than
one vote, no matter how many shares Of
stock he might hold.
The company asked to have this bylaw
declared void, and that the company hold
ing 1878 votes might be allowed to vote one
vote for each share according to the bylaws
as they existed at the time the injunction
was granted. The chancellor recommended
that under the circumstances the annual
meeting to be held on July 80 should be Cd
journed without transacting any other bust
ness, and that it stand adjourned until The
final determination of the suit. The So
licitors on each side assented to this.

USE OF TIE SENSES.


Habit and Experience Play n Part In see-
ing and Hearing.
If we ask ourselves just how it is that
we see, hear and receive Impressions from
the senses, we shall soon discover two
things. The first is that the explanations
1--WE see with our eyes, ~ I've hear with
our ears" etc, Is not quite satisfactory.
1t is easy enough to explain how certain
rays of light impinge on the retina of the
eye and certain waves of air on the drum
Of the ear, but how these purely physical
things are converted into purely psychical
things of sight and hearing no one can ex-
plain
Our second discovery will be that it Is
not by the eye alone that We see or by the
ear alone that we hear Memory, or rather
experience or habit, plays great part in
all sensations, though we do not often
notice it unless our attention is drawn to
tho fact by some circumstance that puts
experience at fault and thus produces q
sense illusion.
Have you ever noticed, for instance, how
experience helps you to recognize the posi-
ton of sounds? If one made noise at q
little distance from you, you oe1id instant
ly tell from what direction it came, because
experience has taught you to judge of this
mattar through the very slight difference
in the intensity Of sound in your two ears
nn experiment will readily provo this.
Stop up the left ear firmly with cotton
wool and go into dark room with some
ono else who carries IL bell. Let the other
person strike the bell in different parts of
the room, yourself remaining still. No
matter where the bell is, it will always
seem to you to sound on your right side,
even though it may actually be near the
left cur. Persons deaf in one ear can never
tell whence sound comes 1t takes two
ears to do this.
How far experience Is our helper in
vision may he appreciated when it is re-
memhercd that the image of anything We
sec is received by the eye upside down, yet
our constant experience has so habtuatcd
us to the fact that we never know it.
1t is a sort OF experience illusion which
makes tho telegraph posts during rail
way journey appear to move backward, Us
though they, too, were in motion. We arc
not accustomed to movo so fast. 1t is
easier for the brain to think that some
thing else moves. OF course the most IA
niliar instance Of this class Of illusion,
however, is the phenomena of sunrise and
sllnset-the apparent daily motion of the
sun across our sky. For all terrestrial
purposes it is true to say that the sun is
m0tionlcss. This apparent motion of it is
due to tho revolution of the earth itself
not to any motion of the sun. Cincinnati
