LET US HAVE THE BEST.

If the city school board can Sc.
cure the proportionate amount Of
Cherokee school money due, il
will, added to what is raised by
taxation, make a good fund
enough to enable the board to pro-
vide good school facilities at cost
not burdensome. Heretofore
many of our Cherokee citizens
probably more than half-have
seen fit for various reasons to send
their children to private or pay
schools. But the feeling on all
sides now is that no schools which
are not good enough in every re-
spect for all our children, are
worth while. 1t is especially de-
sirable that the board appreciate
the Importance of beginning right.
IL would be better to make the
mistake OF spending too much
money-of wasting some-the first
year or SO, than too little. To the
first board falls the responsible
duty of fixing the standard-set-
ting the pace as it were-and ii
they get it high enough the labors
of their successors will be COM
paratively easy and Vinita's pub
lie schools will occupy the exalted
place in the estimation Of our peo-
pie without which only a meagre
measure of success can be
achieved.

In a recent case at the Kensington
petty sessions the well known re-
freshment contractor Messrs.
Spiers & Pond, caterer to The Vic
torian exhibition, were summoned
at the instigation of the kensington
vestry for selling sample of brandy
and two samples Of whisky which
were not of the nature, = bstance
and quality Of the article I amended.
The defense set up was the extraor-
dinary one that in one case a bar
maid had emptieil into the brandy
and whisky decanters the remaining
portion Of a glass of whisky and
water left on the counter by custom
ers. la the case Of the other sample
the barmaid had. in Consequence of
a complaint which had been made
to her that the stock Of the bar un-
dor her charge was unsatisfactory,
put water into the siphon which sup
piled the tap from which the sample
of whisky was purchased. The bench
inflicted a penalty OF els. Apart
from the fact that the spirits were
adulterated, the practice of empty
ing the leavings of customers
glasses into the vessels holding the
spirits for public supply is disgust
ing and filthy and dangerous one
and the vestry of Kensington de-
serve the unqualified thanks Of the
public for the action which they
took.--London Lancet.

Potts, ;" said a gentleman from Phil
adelphia at tho Normandie. "The
reason for this desire for revenge
had its inception during clinic for
nervous diseases. when DR.. Wood
innocently became the victim of a
practical joke instigated by his as
sistant.
Among the cases brought before
the clinic was that of man suffer
ing apparently from general rheu-
matism. Several of the patients
Joints were stiffened; go was his
back particularly. Dr. Wood, as is
customary, made a casual examina-
tion of the body to ascertain if the
disease was not due to some central
lesion of the nervous system.
He tried what is called the knee
Jerks, which is the striking of ones
patella tendon with rubber mallet
or with the fist partially clinched.
If PERSONS condition is normal,
the foot will fly out at the touch of
the tendon. In the case of this pa
tient, in one knee the jerk was alb
sent, and in the other it was in
creased. This, DIR. Wood told the
class, suggested the possibility that
the disease was due to some brain
or spinal cord lesion.
TO make sure, he said, we
must look at the eyes to see whether
the pupils are of equal SIZE.
Zone of the eyes was found to be
very much smaller than the other,
which, he said, made it seem all the
more certain that there was some
brain lesion. The several hundred
embryo doctors to whom DR.. Wood
was lecturing expressed deep inter
est in the subject. They took copi-
Gus notes of what he said.
" But before accepting the prop
osition as a certainty, he continued,
1T will be necessary to ascertain
whether the pupils were of equal
size before the patient was taken
sick. Sometimes, due to some little
detection in an eye, the pupils will
be unequal.
While DR.. Wood was talking DR..
Potts, who was assisting him in
demonstration, whispered to one of
the students that the patient had
glass eye 1t was quickly com
to the whole class, and
there was laughter, loud and long.
Dr. Wood overheard the whisper
ing. He made closer examination
and found that the patient did have
q store eye that was remarkable in
its similarity to natural optic.
" i told you you couldn't tell for
certain unless knowing something
of the history of the patient, ex-
claimed the doctor as he joined the
class in their hilarity.

before he was ushered into the elm
