Some Supposed Recent Discoveries
That Were Known Ages Ago.
A learned India prince, Thakore Sa-
hib of Gondal, is the author of history
of Aryan medical science issued from
the London press. This book advances
some remarkable claims on behalf of
Hindoo science and civilization
Prince Thakore asserts that the
grandest discoveries of western medical
genius, such as vaccination, anaesthe-
STA and antiseptic surgery, were all
practised among the Hindoos many
centuries ago. He declares that in the
'Ayur Veda," or Science of Life"
min books on medicine nearly all the
best modern methods of medical
diagnosis as well as of practical sur
gerry are fully set forth. The circula-
ton of the blood, which we say was
discovered by Harvey is said to be full
ly set forth in this ancient volume of
the Hindoo scriptures: Prince Thakore
also cites historical evidence to show
that cranial and abdominal surgical
operations of the most difficult kind,
such as we have supposed were never
performed until within the last fifty
years, were done thousand years ago
in the land of Buddha. He points to
the record Of the trephining Of King
Bhoja Of Dhar, who lived about A. d.
Off, to relieve him Of severe pains in his
head The record clearly states that
the king was rendered unconscious, his
Uranium opened, the cause Of the trou-
BILE removed from the brain, the wound
closed up, and his trouble completely
cured. Jivaka, who was Buddha's own
physician, performed similar opera
tions.
Such claims tend to shake the self
esteem of western peoples as the wisest
and most highly inventive that have
ever occupied the earth and to cast a
doubt upon their boast that they are
''the heirs Of all the ages in the fore
most files of time" 1t is no new thing,
however, for us to be told that all light
travels from the east to the west, and
not from the west to the east We
speak of Asia as "the cradle of the
race" and so it undoubtedly was. We
need not be surprised, therefore, If, as
Asia becomes better known and its an
tiquities more closely inquired into, we
should find that much of the supposed
new knowledge of the west was falhl-
lar in the east when the world was
young. Wendell Phillips most celebra-
ted lecture was entitled THE Lost
Arts" Curiously enough, 1t is not in
cluded in the standard edition of his
published works. A pamphlet copy of
it. published twenty years ago, is hard
to find. The famous Massachusetts or
ator very largely forestalled the claims
of Prince Thakore. He boldly declared
that of one hundred marvellous things

A DUBIOUS PROVISION.

Many or the good people of New
Haven are much concerned over the
provision in the new charter which
deals with the Board of Education and
the schools. We think there is some
reason for their concern 1t is fact,
as all know who know anything about
school management here, that the
present plan has worked we'll There
lie opinion which has prevented the
election, and usually the nomination of
unsuitable men. Membership in the
Board has been looked upon as badge
of honor and public confidence Those
who have been members have, almost
invariably, done faithful and conscien-
tious work. There has been no politics
in educational matters, it having been
thoroughly understood on both sides
and all sides that politics mustn't be
allowed to harm the schools Consid-
erations of race and religion have had
their due weight in making up the
Board, and everything has gone along
as honestly, honorably and smoothly as
could reasonably be expected and, in
deed, more so than there has been at
times reason to expect.
1t Is now proposed to make radical
ly new deal by placing the makeup Of
the Board of Education entirely in the
hands of the mayor of the city, the
theory being that he, whoever he may
be. will do the work better than 1t has
been done, and feel the responsibility
of it more than it has been felt by those
who have done 1t. We doubt the
soundness of the theory. If mayors are
given the important power that the
educational provision of the new char
ter would give them the city will be
very fortunate if that power is used
anywhere near as discreetly and bene-
ficially as the people have used their
power. 1t may be argued that a mayor
WOulu De sure 10 love the SCHOOLS ana
do right by them. Some mayors would
Others might love their party and their
personal friends better. But the people
can be depended on to have an honest
and impartial regard for the schools
every time. Therefore it seems to
many that it would have been safer
to leave the control of the schools in
the hands of the people, who have so
wisely exercised it.
And where will the women come in in
the new deal? Hitherto they have been
able to have much influence in school
matters, and influence of the right
kind Many of them value their right
to vote in school elections and they
have used it conscientiously and skill

outline than the princess gown; just
think how many novels heroines are
simply gowned in draperies that follow
every graceful outline.
There is a great trick, of course, in
following only the graceful outlines,
but the present fashions allow that. To
accomplish just this, lovely modifiea-
ton of a princess had the front breadth
cut to deep point al the bust to show
yoke of contrasting material. Over
the shoulders lace was draped and the
lace narrowed along the seam between
the front and side breadths, thus soft

A CURIOUS NOPE.

Some of the good people of Derby
want to infest the sidewalks with their
wheels and they are therefore trying
to arrange matters so that it will be
legal for them to do it. This is a
rather astonishing move to people who
live where wheels are kept off the side
walks as they are in New Haven. We
do not suppose that the streets of Derby
are the best there are for wheeling
purposes, but If Derby devotes her side
walks to the use of wheelers she will
be sure to find that the sidewalks are
not good or safe enough for the use of
the pedestrians for whom they were
originally made. Wheeling and pedes-
trianism on the same sidewalk don't
mingle conveniently or safely, and
though we feel that Derby is capable of
taking care of her own affairs without
any advice from us we can assure her
that she will take a long step backward
if she devotes any of her sidewalks to
the use of bicyclers. 1t wouldn't be
thought of in New Haven, where the
streets, with the exception of the ever
glorious and widely famous asphalt"
are not especially good for wheels.

Gentle and beautiful Spring will be
more gentle and beautiful than usual in
these parts this year If the legislature
holds to its present apparent purpose
and adjourns In the middle of May,
There Is no good reason in sight why
1t shouldn't and there are many good
reasons in sight why it should. There
Is much yet left to be done, but a
month and half Is time enough to do
much in If there is disposition to do
it.
If the legislature should happen to ad-
iourn by May Is, great many of the
people of the State would be in favor
of making the pleasant action a prece-
dent. Precedents are good things to
have when they are good, and such a
precedent would certainly be a good
one. Two years ago the legislature sat
into July. and 1t was felt then that such
a sitting wouldn't make a good prece-
dent. If this legislature, by adjourn
ing May Is, can furnish a precedent in
the matter of adjournment its work in
that respect will not be the least useful
of it's works.

The recent decision OF the Court Of
Appeals in Kentucky on a question Of
bank taxation involved the right of the
State to abrogate a contract with the
banks. Prior to 1886 the banks in the
State, under provisions in their char
ters, paid fifty cents on each $lOO of
stock and were exempt from local tax
alton. This was changed in 1885, when,
as a compromise between the banks
and the State, it was provided that the
banks should give up their claim of
contract right under their charters to
pay only fifty cents ON the share, and
should agree to pay seventy-five cents
to the State in lieu of all taxes. The
banks and the State entered into the
contract, as it was then supposed to be,
and the banks paid seventy-fve cents
to the State from that time until 1898,
in pursuance of the new constitution,
the legislature repealed the Hewitt law
and the contract therein provided for,
and required the banks to pay the reg
ular ad valorem tax on all the banks
assets both to the State and to the city
and county. 1t was claimed by the
banks that this statute was In viola
ton of the United States constitution
because 1t impaired the obligation of
the contracts entered into under the
law of 1885, That law might be repeal
ed at the pleasure of the legislature, 1T
was contended, but the contracts made
under it would. nevertheless, stand
This view was sustained in decision
rendered by the Court of Appeals two
years ago, and the opinion now given
is a reversal of that decision, made pos
sible by changes in the personnel of the
court. One effect of the decision is to
handicap banks in the cities, where the
rate of taxation is higher than in small
err places. 1t may be met, a Louisville
banker says, by a consolidation Of
banks, an increase in the rate of dis
count, reduction of surplus, or the
