In his school there was very strict
discipline, but on the contrary a good
deal of noise. 1t was "a noisy man
sion." But he was SO pleasant himself,
and made the work SO pleasant, that
pupils could not help learning. Being
near him seemed to make them wiser
and better. 1t was an instance of
what Carlyle calls true education.
''soul coming in contact with soul."
One of the greatest luxuries he en-
joyed was to find some of his pupils
able and willing to take up the higher
branches. His leisure hours were de-
voted most heartily to them. He stayed
after the usual school time to teach
them Euclid and trigonometry. He
led them out on the Saturdays along

the Binn, to teach them geology. lie

Those who contend we could get on
without q language may add another
story to prove their point, says the
Leeds Mercury. Everybody knows that
in many cases it is not the words used
but the manner of speaking which
makes the impressions. Thus it was
that Daniel 0'Connell was able to make

Swedish ambassadors having to present
an address to Louis XVI, which they
had forgotten, ,recited the whole of
their catechism, and that did just as
well. Prof. Drummond tells us in his
Tropical Africa he was in a similar
fix, and got out of it in a similar way.
On one occasion four of his, carriers
ran away. There were three others OF
the same tribe in the company, and,
though. the professor knew nothing of
their dialect, he determined to teach
hem q lesson. beginning with a few
general remarks on the iheathen, he
briefly sI1etched the geology of Africa
and then broke into an impassioned de-
fense of the British constitution The
three tribesmen strembled like aspens.
He concluded his reprimand by solemn
ly enunciating the 47th proposition of
Euclid, and the result of the awful ad-
monition was that the men became
the most faithful he had. -. .aGl -.

The Bone Was Bent.

A case entirely new to medical sci
ence came under the observation of the
physicians at the Maryland university
hospital recently. James I. T.ymon was
the patient, and he was afflicted in a
most peculiar way. Tymon is employed
at the bakery of d. w. Lord, and is IL
years of age. While at work he acei-
dentally fell upon his right arm. lie
felt an acute pain in the member as II
it had been fractured. The pain was
intense, and finally Tymon's employ
ers sent him to the hospital, where he
was examined by the physicians in
charge. To their surprise they dis
covered that instead of being broken
the bone of the forearm was bent so as
to form almost a circle, and was firm in
that position. 1t was something that
the physicians had not met with be-
fore. 1t is supposed that the bone had
became softened in some way, either
through constitutional weakness or q
peculiar diet.

An Parts OF One Tree Now Growing on
!. the Elk River, MIssourI.

the ELK tkiVers MINoOurl-
Four miles from Pineville, No.. on
the grounds of j. L. Parish, is freak
of nature so curious that If had mot
seen it with my own eyes could
scarcely have believed it possible, says
writer in, the Kansas City Times. On
the bank of Elk river rises large tree
that towers high above the neighbor-
ing trees. At the ground solid, but
tress trunk appears, from eight to ten
feet in diameter. A little higher than
q mans head this high trunk divides
into four lesser trunks, the two. smaller
of which are in themselves fairssized
trees, while the other two are far above
the average size. Here comes in the
queer part of the story, OF these diver
gent trunks the two larger ones are re-
spectively an elm and a sycamore,
while the two smaller ones are an oak
and a sycamore. Above the union of
common trunk each tree, in leaf,
branch and bark, is normal to its type.
The trunk itself seems one homo
genous whole. Iwould not presume to
say that close examination would not
show in the bark from different sec
tions of the trunk those peculiarities
that distinguish the bark of one tree
from that of another, but certainly
these characteristics do not show on
cursory examination, nor are their
lines of jointure visible where the four
trunks coalesce. doubt If anyone can
point to a stranger growth than this
two sycamores, an oak and an elm, all
growing from one common trunk. This
meeting together of four youthful tree
trunks as they thickened with age is
occasionally seen, but this, is an unu-
sually fine illustration. Each tree
must, however, form its own bark
that is to say, no one of them has been
wholly enveloped by another. Hence
a careful investigation ought to dis
close a slight line where the incurving
bark of each original tree meets.

Difficulty of a Countryman In Finding .

A countryman drifted into one of the
Main street railway offices and said:
''The policeman outside thar told me

indicated the directory, and the coun-
tryman stared. He opened it doubt
fully, says the Buffalo Commercial, and
turned a few pages. "Name of every
body in town in here?" he ventured.
"Guess SO, pretty nearly" replied the
clerk, smiling. "They may have
skipped an odd name here and there,
but the skips are few" The country
man went back to his book and the
clerk to his work. After Is or 20 min
utes the clerk saw the countryman was
still puzzling over the directory and
stepped over to where he stood. "What
name are you looking for?" he asked.

ADVERTISING in MEXICO.
The Natives of That Country Are Far Be-
hind Us In Their Ideas.

| The Natives of That Country Are Far Be-
hind Us In Their Ideas.
We have been under the impression
that the land of dark-eyed hidalgoes,
with their wide sombreros and short
jackets and gorgeous silver sashes, the
land of beautiful women with graceful
lace mantillas, swarthy skins and mid
night eyes, was making rapid progress,
but this opinion will have to be
amended, says Texas Siftings.
1t is true that the wealthier class
have discarded the bright-hued serape
and adopted the unpicturesque habili-
ments of the gringo. 1t is also fact
that in the City of Mexico the names
of the streets have been changed from
the political, or intensely religious, to
nomenclature the most prosaic. For
example: "The Street of the Sad In
dian" and "Crown of Thorns street"
are now respectively Fourth avenue"
and "Diaz street"
These and other changes led us to
infer that Mexico was rapidly becom-
ing ''gringoized," but this delusion is
knocked endwise by the following
item:
ga remarkable case is being tried in
the courts here. A short time ago a
small weekly newspaper by the name
of Ell Periq uito published in its col
umns an advertisement OF business
house. Another firm in the business
has sued the paper for damages, alleg-
ing that they have suffered loss
through the publication Of the adver-
tisement of their rival. The case is
attracting considerable attention, as it
is the first of it's kind in Mexico"
In our own country the man who
does not advertise is regarded as a fit
subject for the undertaken or the luna
tic asylum.
1t is strange that the Mexicans
should be SO slow to recognize the ad-
vantages of advertising. There is no
class of Industrious citizens who can
not profit by advertising. For in
stance, burglar overlooked eighty
dollars in bureau drawer, and the To-
cal papers so announced. He returned
the next night and not only secured it
but an almost new suit of clothes be-

With Contempt.

weyIer's Overtures for Peace Treated
With Contempt.
NEW YORK, April PA letter to
the World from Havana, dated April
IA, says:
General Weyler has put down his
last card here and lost. His commits
sion has reported to him that General
Gomez will not receive it. The men,
bers are Seniors Marcos Garcia, of
Sancti Spiritus; Sportuno, of Trinidad,
and Fernandez, of Cienfuegos. They
sought to carry to the rebel chieftain a
message that if he would end the war
Spain would grant the most perfect
autonomy to Cuba under the safest
guarantee. General Gomez sent word
that they could not enter his camp; his
sole exchange for peace was liberty and
independence.
Signs that Spain is hard pushed are
becoming more and more manifest.
The troops guarding the imperial ways
are being withdrawn and the garrisons
of the interior towns and cities are be-
ing registered. Soldiers by hundreds
ace leaving for Spain by every steamer.
Their places are taken by forces trans
ferred from the country. Thus the in
terror is being rapidly abandoned, the
ports more strongly protected and a
considerable number of troops sent
back home.
All these are moves in the desperate
game Spain is now forced to play. She
must have money, and to raise loan
is impossible as long as the war in
Cuba continues. General Weyler,
therefore, is getting ready to declare
the island pacified. AS proof it will be
announced that there is no longer use
for large army, and it consequently
is being reduced.
The rebels are active in every prov
ince. They never were more power
full.

Beginning in the Three Aural Tubes II
EvcrtunIlY IielcheS the Stomach

Beginning in the Three Aural Tubes II
Evcatuauy Reaches the stomach.
Scasickness starts in the ear, says q
writer in McClurc's Magazine. In its
cavity arc three small tubes, each bent
in circle, and filed with fluid. The
three sit at right angles to each other,
like the three sides at the corner of a
room or i box. Consequently, in what
ever direction the head is moved, the
fluid in some one of the tubes is given
a circular motion. Hanging out into
the tubes, from their sides, are hairs
or ella, which connect with nerve
cells and fibers that branch off from
the auditory nerve. When the head
moves the fluid moves, the hairs move,
the cells are fired off, nervous cur
rent is sent up to the brain and feel
ing of the heads peculiar motion is
consequent. As for seasicllness: This
nerve current, on its way to the brain,
at one point runs beside the spot or
"cepter" where the nerve governing
thesstomach has its origin. Whoa the
rocking of the head is abnormally vio-
lent and prolonged, the stimulus is SO
great that the current leads over into
this adjoining center" and so excites
the nerve running to the stomach as to
cause wretchedness and retching.
Deaf mutes, whose ear "canaIs" are af
feeted, are never seasicls. But normal
ly the amount of car-feeling which we
get by reason of moving our head in a
particular direction comes in a curious
way to be a measure of the direction
of sound. The feelings we get from
our skin and muscles in turning the
head play similar role. We turn our
ear to catch sound. We do this so
frequently for every point that in time
we learn to judge the direction of the
sound by the way we would have to
turn the head in order to hear the
sound best. Thereafter we do not
have to turn the head to get the direc-
ton, for we now remember the proper
feeling and know it. This memory of
the old feeling is our idea of the pres
ent direction. If we never moved our
heads we never could have any such
notion of the location of sounds as ct
present-perhaps none whatever.
