YET ONTHE COAST.

1t has been wet on the coast lately so
wet that the holders of Rubber
around here have acted as if they felt
sure of being soothed and sustained by
an unfaltering trust. But they are not
the only folks on the beach There are
others, and the others have been reduc-
ed to such lowness of mind that while
they still continue to believe the bible
they would feel little better and safer
if they could see rainbow once more.
Stop, slop, slop, the boys are march
ing, and the girls too. Will there ever
be any more New Haven dust? If there
ever Is it will be almost welcome for
awhile until capricious and forgetful
ones get tired of it and fooishly turn
regretful eyes back to the mire from
which they sprung, and in which they
perhaps left rubber or two when they
sprung.
They say it is muddier and sloppier
in Hartford than it is in New Haven,
but one would have to be so mean to
find a crumb of comfort in that fact
that it wont pay to look for 1T. Let us
rather pity Hartford and hope that
when it gets to be as big and important
as New Haven it will be no more mud
dy than New Haven has been this week

TEMPERANCE PHYSIOLOGY.

It is not surprising to read that Mas
Ga chusetts advocates of the teaching in
the public schools of physiology with
special reference to the effect of alco-
holic drinks are not satisfied with the
existing arrangement, which is similar
to that in many other States, and are
asking a more stringent statute. They
have walked up a rather able critic in
the person of DIR. Henry p. Bowditch,
professor Of physiology in the Harvard
medical school Professor Bowditch
appeared at the legislative hearing the
other day. and said that those he rep
resented did not object to the teaching
of physiology, but they desired that the
school authorities in each town should
determine the manner in which the
subject should be taught. They object
ed to the teaching as the Women's
Christian Temperance Union desired it,
believing that the subject is not gener-
ally suited for teaching to all ages, and
that there should be some limitations.
Moreover, the text books on the sub
ject are distinctly misleading, DR.. Bow
ditch asserted "The people who I'M
dertake to contribute to text book in
struction are extremists" he said, land
hold their views regardless of the ex-
periences of millions of their fellow
beings" Quotations from the views of
many eminent medical experts as to the
food value of alcohol We're given, Dr.
Bowditch summing up the conclusion
that 1--WE cannot regard alcohol as an
important food, as not enough can be
used without doing harm. In health
it's nutriment value is absolutely unim-
portant, but in illness the conditions are
different. The practical difficulty is to
draw the line between health and dis
ease. If man takes a glass Of beer
or wine at meals, no Psychologist has
the right to say it will do him harm"
trary, and DR.. Bowditch asks: What
must be the effect on the mind of
child when he is taught in school that
alcohol is always poison and then is
sent out from home to buy beer? He
must think either that his teacher is a
fool or that his father is going to the
bad Is it desirable that child should
draw either conclusion?'
Some children are certainly powerful
ly impressed by the temperance physl-
ology. For instance, it is related that |
in Syracuse, New York, a mother, |
standing on top of hill and looking |
at a gorgeous sunset, asked of her lit |
tie daughter, What does that remind !
you OFF," so I know" cried the girl,
clapping her hands, sit looks just like a
stomach"

PURSUIT OF A PEDIGREE.

Methods Followed by Ambitious Eng
lshmen--The Foreigners Of an Ingeni-
Gus Schoolmaster of Coonel-Six-
teenth Century Wills and Records
That Deceived Experts.
When a retired colonel of English
militia, past middle age, of comforta BILE
income, small shrewdness and consider
able self Importance, fancies that he
needs a pedigree, he usually employs a
patient and laborious drydust, of
more or less skill in the tracing Of
genealogies, to drudge through the par
ish and the probate records of the quar-
ter of England where he believes his an
cestors f1ourished. Sometimes the
searcher finds enough evidence of the
antiquity Of the family and of the
colonel's descent from it to crafty his
pride and even to permit him to set up
a coat-of- arms. Oftener the inquiry is
so fruitless or the results so meagre and
unpromising that the officer wearies
of it's tedium and cost and soOthes the
vanity that prompted it with the pru-
dence that bids him renounce it. In the
desire of Englishmen that have made
their way in the world, a branch Of
which they have caused to flourish
anew. the dryasdust has not to wait
long for fresh employment. Usually he
is among the most methodical, accurate
and honest of men, well aware that the
results of his researches will be care
fully verified and sifted before they per-
suade the Herald's office to grant a Ii
cense to bear arms. Sometimes, in the
past, he did justify the saying that "a
pedigree maker will do anything" and
risked distortion, falsehood and even

their archives had suspected any ir-
Irregularities. He had made his entries
and written his wills SO skilfully--and
the forgery of legal document of the
sixteenth century is very intricate
and delicate task-that even the British
Museum had been deceived. Chance re-
yealed one of his forgeries and opened
the way for the discovery of the rest.
His ingenuity matched his audacity.
He deserved shrewder dupes than rural
parsons. He should have made the
pedigrees of medieval barons rather
than of retired colonies Of militia, and
then have had history, not prison,
for his pains. Until he is forgotten

care of parish and of probate records

William Jennings Bryan seems to
know what he wants, and what he
doesn't want. He wants to be pres-
dent, and he doesn't want to eat and
drink with people who don't stand on
his platform.
The poet said, "All things flow and
fluctuate," but that was said before Mr..
Bryan's day. Mr.. Bryan has been ac-
cused of flowing from the mouth, but he
doesn't 1luctuate. He is right there
every time and all the time. Rocks
shall flee from their firm bases as soon
as he. He will have silver or nothing.
The indications are that he will get
nothing but it cannot be denied that he
is a spectacle in this world of change.

waist was piped with bands of the

"A determined effort is to be made in
England, by the introduction of bill
in parliament by Lord Chief Justice
Russell, to put a stop to the giving or
receiving Of secret commissions. 1t is
q matter of common knowledge that
such payments, secret though they are,
prevail in every manner of business.
From the highest to the lowest the prac-
tice prevails. The agitation against this
bad business began some four years
ago, when a large furniture firm dis
covered that one of it's buyers was in
the pay of the dealers from whom it
bought. To obtain evidence they had TO
resort to the questionable device of
putting confidential clerk in the buy
er's position, who obtained promises
from most of the dealers to pay him
definite percentage on all that he
bought. Then action was brought
against che house to represent the diff
ference covered by the commission, and
the case was won. The other houses
yielded without going into court. The
decision in this case led other large buy
ing firms to investigate their affairs.
Then the London chamber of commerce
started an inquiry and now Lord Russell
has brought the matter up.

The days Of the tall factory chimney
are Numbered, says the Textile World,
since the discovery that small fan
blower, operating by suction, will pro-
duce the same effect. The instance is
related of a blower being placed with
great success over boilers in furnace
and driven by special engine auto
natically regulated. If the steam
pressure drops the fan goes faster and
Increases the draft, starts up the fire
and brings the pressure back to what
it should be. The fan is placed on about
the level of the roofs of the surrounding
buildings. There is no trouble from
smoke, since with the fan no smoke is
made. The uselessness of the chimney
Is demonstrated. AS respects cost, the
fan plant costs less than half what a
chimney does and it gets as good re-
suits out Of cheaper fuel. A case is
mentioned where $500 was saved in
one year by using the fan blower in
lieu of a chimney.
