There seems to be no law in Della
ware to punish dishonest Inspectors and
Boards of Canvass for making theirs
returns of the elections as they decide.
The majority of those that held the
elections have more power than the
courts. What a travesty on justice,
what damnable thing to go round the
country, to put the blush of shame on
every Delawarean's cheek when away
from home. What a recommendation
to help invite new enterprises and out
side capital to our State. Like the

will curse the day when the election

special examinations at the last mo-
ment in order to get through, two Chin
csc girls In the class have finished with
q splendid record in scholarship both
with the faculty and with their fellow
students, says the Detroit Free Press.
They are Meiyie SHE and Ida Kahn,
two girls who registered from Kin
Kiang, China, and are the first Chin
csc girls to graduate from the UNIVERSE
ty o; Michigan and almost the first
Chinese in this country. In the fall Of
1892 four Chinese students came to Ann
Arbor, all Of them proteges of the we'll
known American missionary, Miss
Charlotte HAVE, in her mission school
at Kin-Kiang, in the province Of
Kiang-Si, China. Two Of them were
the girls above named and the other
two were boys-Taiyen Chico, now g
sophomore lit, and Yung Ping Cheng, q
sophomore medic. The girls had been
prepared by Miss HAVE, beginning be-
fore the boys did, and were ready to
enter the medical department at once,
even to the Latin requirements, while
the boys went back and took two years
OF preparatory work in the Ann Arbor
high school. Taiyen Chico graduating
from the Latin course and Yung Ping
Cheng from the scientific course in
1894. The history of these four Is very
interesting, though rather hard to OBJ
tain, as ESey live by themselves and
have few close Siends among the stu
dents, though they are on intimate
terms in many households of church
people in this city. Yung Ping Cheng
and Meiyie SHE are orphans, the latter
coming from the province Of Canton
while the three others are from
Kiang-Si. Miss Have found in them her
most apt pupils and determined to fl
them in the best possible manner to
aid their countrymen, so she has main
tanned them here by her own means In
order to educate them to be medical
missionaries. The two girls will re-
turn to China very soon now and take
up this work among their own people
as workers with the Methodist Episco-
pal missionary forces. In two years.
too, Yung Ping Cheng will be ready to
follow this field of work, but Taiyen
Chico has changed his plans since COM
ing to this country. He wants to be a
Chinese professor some day and this is
what made him enter the literary in

Fatigue is the natural result Of labor
and as such is periodic symptom with
which every healthy person is familiar,
says the Youths Companion. II Is one
of the laws of organic life that periods
of relaxation shall succeed periods OF
activity. The heart itself is normally
in repose for about one-third Of the
time consumed by each beat-a fact in
which there is something particularly
suggestive and interesting, since physi-
ologists agree that about one-third OF
the twenty-four should be devoted TO
sleep. Life is made up of a series Of
vibrations in which tension and rest
succeed each other. The heart vibrates
about seventy times a minute; the vi
brations Of the respiratory organs &C.
cur about sixteen times in the same
period; while the vibrations Of the
whole organism may be said to COM
plete their circle once in twenty-four
hours. Abnormal fatigue, a state APP
preaching exhaustion, occurs when one
attempts to alter natures rhythm,
when the hours Of tension are made to
encroach upon those which should be
devoted to rest, when muscle and nerve
already fatigued are driven to further
exertion. Fatigue Of kind known as
entertaining results, in the case Of the
athlete, in heart weakness and short
ness of breath-'loss of wind" as it is
called; while the long-continued fatigue
occasioned by excessive application to
professional or business pursuits re-
suits in nervous prostration or even in
paralysis. While excessive fatigue is
in itself unwise, one Of the chief dan
gers which result from it is that COM
monty indicated by the term catching
cold" Thus the danger Of sitting in a
draft or on the damp ground is many
times doubled after great exertion. The
application Of heat to the surface Is q
more logical procedure after extreme
fatigue. Loss Of sleep is one of the frst
symptoms Of abnormal fatigue. Ha-
bitual insomnia from this cause Is tc
be treated in only one way, by absolute
rest

halfway sure that life was extinct can
now have relief.
DR.. Carl L. Barnes Of Chicago has
made a discovery-an X-ray discovery
by which the presence of death can
be readily detected, says Chicago News.
Dr.. Barnes based his experiments on
the fact that dead hand held before a
lamp does not transmit ordinary rays
Of light, though they readily pass
through the hand Of the living. The
latter is luminously red, the former
dark and opaque. This radiation is
scientifically explained on the theory
Of refraction and the blood corpuscles.
The red corpuscles are bi-concave disks
which have highly refractory powers in
life, rendering 1t possible for light to
penetrate the structure. Acting upon
this theory he made a practical demon
stration q few weeks ago in his labora-
tory in this city. A sciagraph of a dead
hand and living hand was taken ON
the same plate. The two hands, that
