In one of his lectures before the Low
ell institute, Boston, recently Professor
Il. f. Wright combated the supposition
that the conclusions of modern physical
science are free from difficulties and
clear of all doubt. Instead of such be-
ing the case science, he declares. is lead
ing deeper and deeper into mysteries
and substituting instead of single mys-
teries an ever increasing multitude for
each one. He instanced in illustration
the Newtonian theory of gravitation as
involving ~paradoxes to this day unex-
planned, arguing that if bodies act un-
on each other at a distance without any
intervening medium then a thing can
act where it is not, which is an absurd
lty, while, on the other hand, if there
Is a material medium filling all space,
and a gravity is transmitted through
that by a push rather than by a pull,
then the transmission ought to occupy
some appreciate time, but this it does
not do, and at any rate, if its action is
not absolutely Instantaneous, its veloci-
ty must be at least fifty million times
greater than that of light. Moreover,
every effort to represent gravitation as
the result of a push from behind in
wolves absurdities of various kinds. In
fact, Newton's final conclusion was that
the philosophy of gravitation is abso-
lutely Uncomfortable and it's action para
doxical.

MemorIe, OF Famous Friends.

Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale, who is
original in all things, discovered a unique
way of celebrating bis seventy-fif fifth birth
day. That was to write bis recollections
of some of the eminent men who wers
his closest friends, among them Lowell,
LoDgfellow, Emerson. DR.. Holmes and
Wendell Phillips. The Youths Com
pauion has had the good fortune to secure
these intimate and charming papers, and
tie first in the series appears in it's issue
of June 10. Edward Everett, DR. Hale's
uncle, is the subject, and a very lifelike
picture is given of this famous M4ssa-
chusetts man, the hero of countless
interesting Incidents. who entered many
fields of effort-ranging all the way from
preacher to diplomat-and won success
in all.
In the same issue Of the Companion
President McKinley's Cabinet off ;ers are

page of the Companion presen's many

other department of the paper reminds

The Court of Errors and Appeal
has Affirmative judgments for $7218.-
50 obtained by the Board of Free
holders of Camden county against the
estate of Edward ~Burrough, late County
Clerk. While he was Clerk, Burrough
was accustomed to charge a fee of so
cents for certifying to the bills of justices
OF the peace and others again st the
county. The amount would then be in
cluded in the bill, so that the person
paying Burrough would be reimbursed
by the county. Under the law the clerk
of Camden county gets "a. 900 a year in
lieu of fees for serving as clerk of the
criminal and civil courts. 1t was con
tended by Burrough that his duties as
such clerk did not include the work for
which be charged the fees, but the court
holds otherwise, and the money will now
have to be paid back to the county.

According to the London National Re
0ieo the Monetary Commission, of which

airy work in Europe in favor of interna-
tional bimetallism, 1t is probably a
little early, however, to conclude that
free silver is coming right eff by interna-
tional agreement, but a commencement
has at least been made, and if the end
the commission has in view is not fnally
attained it cannot be charged to a lack of
effort on the part of the Uunited States.
The Re0iew is also authority for tie
statement that the American Bimetallic
Commission will present to the British
Government a joint statement from

THE ONLY WHITE BUFFALO.
Seen and Chased by Indians and Hunters,
but Never Caught.

Seen and Chased by Indians and Hunters,
but Never Caught.
During the summer of 1875 bands of
Indians returning from a hunt far out
on the plains brought in stories of hay
ing seen at different times and in differ
ent places, and always in the center Of
a large herd, a white buffalo. They had
used their best horses in the effort to
Overtake it to no purpose, never being
able to get anywhere near the animal.
At first we did not pay much attention
20 these stories. but still it kept crop
ping up from different camps, and at
last. in the fall Of 1875, I myself had a
chance to verify the truth Of the report.
l had been sent on duty north along the
Red Deer river and was camped nea a
large band of Blackfeet, who were hunt
ing south Of that river. The buffaloes had
moved north in vast numbers, and the
prairie was black with them.
I had gone out one morning with a
party Of Blackfeet to see one of their
hunts, and also to try and kill for my
self. My horse was a good one and much
faster than any belonging to the Indian
hunters. I had got detached from the
party, becoming tired of the slaughter,
and must have been at least 30 miles
from camp, when l made for a small
clump of timber not far off, intending
to build a fire and roast a portion of
some buffalo meat l had on the saddle
with me. AS / approached the wood a
band of about 100 animals burst out of
the brush and made off to the south,
and, yes, most certainly, in the middle
of them was a white buffalo. Although
they were a quarter of a mile away,
there could be no mistake about it. He
was there as large as life and quite
white and running like a deer. There
was no time to much more than take in
the scene. but / gathered up the reins
and was after him, determined to bag
that buffalo or kill my horse.
Oh, what a race it was, mile after
milel And, although all the band, with
the exception of about a dozen, had
split off and gone in different direc-
tions, the white animal, with his body
guard of about a dozen kept al about
the same distance ahead. / could catch
a glimpse of him now and then, and
there was no doubt he was snow white.
Get within shot / could not for many
miles. At last they began to tire, and,
although my horse tired also, / had
good hopes of coming up and getting a
shot. Alas, for such a chancei OF a
sudden my horse lurched forward ON
his nose, sending me over his head on to
the prairie and turning a somersault
himself, missing me by only a few feet.
He had put his foot into a badger hole
and brought my hopes of a white ROBE
toa sudden end.-Forest and Stream.

CHINS AND THE VAN

Does Your Jaw Give You Away Before
You Speak?
Protruding chins characterize men
and women of the get there type. Sue
cessful people usually carry their ohins
thrust forward, with compressed lips.
This chin, if heavy, with broad rami
and swelling masseters, indicates fight
ing blood.
A retreating chin shows lack of force,
mentally, morally and physically; usu-
ally OF the yielding sort; soon discour-
aged; desires protection; small exec
utlve force. The development of other
faculties often makes up for this defect.
A small, well rounded chin, with
mobile and red cushion of flesh upon it,
indicates a pleasure loving owner; if
dimpled, all the more so, for dimpled
chins belong to coquettes. People with
dimples love to be petted and loved;
like admiration and praise; generally
tickle. Usually this chin is healthy, re-
operative and long lived.
Broad ohins signify nobleness and
large dignity, unless vertically thin,
when, if with it there he thin lips of
bloodless kind, you find cruelty.
Square chins with little flesh denote
firmness and executive ability. These
make good haters.
Drunkards usually have a circular
line about their chins.
Stevens have wrinkles about their
chins.
Long, thin chins are poetical. unsta-
BILE and delicate i'll constitution. Such
people are subject to bowel derange-
ments. If thin through the angles of
the mouth, too, they are prone to tuber-
e%ulosis; generally short lived.
Medium chins with a suggestive hi
furcation in the center, with small
mounds of flesh on either side. charac-
terize generosity, impulsiveness, CHEEKY
natures. The same sized chins, with a
dab of flesh just under the center of
the lower lip, indicate meanness. sell
tishness, brutality.
N. B.-No one feature can be taken
i'll judging character. Often develop-
ment of other faculties of mind or fea-
ture entirely governs. In each case take

International Bimetallism.
QUESTION MUST BE MET AND
TREATED FAIRLY n DIS.
Brooklyn Eagle" (Dem.).


International bimetallism on a sane
ratio would end the demand here for
bimetallism alone on a wrong ratio. It
might retire the silver question from
America politics altogether. 1t might
realign parties on issues by which the
thought of the people is really divided.
The immediate result of it would be
more helpful to Repubiicanism than to
Democracy. The former party at st.
Louis favored international ~bimetallism
and pledged itself to do what it could to
bring it about. The latter party at Chi
cago declared for sixteen to one at once,
and, without waiting for the action of
any other nation. The National Democ.
racy at Indianapolis declared against
bimetallism, whether national or inter
national and for the gold standard here,
everywhere and forever. There are many
statesmen who are bimetallists, as the
late Francis A. Walker as, as President
Andrews, of Brown University, is, and
as Mr., Balfour and other English leaders
are, but who are so only in case inter
| national agreement on a standard can be
reached. Till Their they are monome-
t~allists and their metal is gold. There
are many Republicans who, like the
National Democrats, are gold standard
man at all times and under all circum
sta noes; but the moiety of both parties
are bimetallists, in the event of interna-
tionaI agreement and monometallists,
pending such agreement, being bime
tallists in their preferences and 10 their
hopes and monometallists only for the
time and under the conditions of the
time.
There is so much silver in the world,
it is Unidentified with 80 much industry
and capital in its excavation, and with SO
many services in the arts and trades that
a front of unconditional hostility to it
permanently maintained by any Cover.
ment, is difficult and repelling. There
is politics in international bimetallism,
and it is the politics of popularity aud of
power. The stand made for silver in
America in 1896 was excessive, was de-
structive of confidence, would have had
the effect, if it did not carry the design,
of partial Reputation, and was allied
with many socialistic and agrarian issues.
1t was rightly defeated. 1t came, how
ever, so near to success that it startled
the statesmen of the world, aud made
them realiz, that something must be
done for silver, something rational and
feasible, in order to quiet or to destroy
the obnoxious issues with which the
demand for free silver was joined
