Friday. the Sd of August, will long be re-

The guests assembled on the lawn, where
the fair authoress, with gentle grace took
her stand in the midst Of flowers and
ferns.
In few well-chosen words she introduce

that could be felt, reigned; even the birds
ceased to carol, her own canary was
mute, listening to the loved voice.
The audience, spell-bound by the thrill
ing interest Of the story, the musical
pathos of the sweet voice, sat like statues.
AS the sun sank slowly behind the noun
tans the last leaf of ~ Dead Day" fell
sadly to the ground. The spell was broken;
Mrs. Hampton was surrounded and most

Tea was then served on the lawn, fol-

one that harbOrs so few plants OF other descriD-
tons. Berries seem at a premium here. and The
reason for IL is a curious one
Apparently there was once time when this
rock was quite bare. Cut of from the mainland
the plants which grow there could not spread 70
it. The species with small and light seeds might
occasionally reach It, but were burned up by TIA
sun before they could gain a foothoId- The
plants that might live there were mostly berry
bearing shrubs too heavy to be carried through
the air by the winds. Then IL was that the
crow. cherry bird robin and other fruit eating
birds turned gardeners and planted this spot
The rocks position makes it convenient land
ing place for birds crossing the marsh. and while
stopping here they no doubt scattered the seeds
that produced the ancestors Of the present plants
Indeed, enc of the principal reasons why most
berrylike fruits have such hard seeds is that
they are thus prevented from being eaten when
carried away for the pulp that surrounds them
and so are dropped in situations ready to ger
inmate. large number are also able 70 resist
digestion in case they are swallowed by birds or
mammals In this manner then the planting
was done on Cactus Knoll" It is possible that
it might have supported some sort OF vegetation
without the birds. but il is certain that it owes
its present covering TO this agency.

"I agree with you" observed the Sociologist,
that the East Side boy receives good deal of
undeServed pity"
We'll" returned the boy, ''he doesn't want
pty-he wants place to play, and little sens-
BILE companonship. He makes the best of cir

proved. But nobody will ever do anything for
the East Side boy who isn't willing to make a
friend and companion of him. People who meet
and talk always get on the wrong track Why,
1t stands to reason that the small boy on the

all their uptown speechmakers."

Yes" wound up the boy, but if people would
spend less money and give more companionshlp
there would be less trouble with the East Side

MIND AND MUSCLE.
THE VALUE OF EXERCISE IN THE TRAINING OF
CHILDREN.

From Science.
Two lectures were delivered by Professor
Angelo Mosso at Clark University during its
decennal celebration, in the summer of 1893,
which seem to deserve wider publication than
they will obtain through the volume issued and
distributed by the university in commemora-
tion of that event. This volume has been al
ready reviewed in Science" without, how
addresses
The former of the lectures, of which notes
are here presented. Is called Psychic Processes
and Muscular Exercise" 1t would be difficult to
eXaggerate the importance of the idea presented,
although the campaign against present public
opinion which a practical realization of some
discourage PestalOZZi The logical conclusion
has, however, been arrived at both by the
psychologist and by the medical man, we'll as
by the psychologist, WhO is both.
One of the most important of the rising beliefs
of American medical regarding common
school education is corrobOrated in this address
by the eminent Italian. In il he sought to show
how intimately related mental processes
and movements If we desired to make peda-
gogical application" he says we might say
that physical education and gymnastics serve
not only for the development of the muscles, but
for that of the brain as well"
Children should begin reading and writing only
after they nine years old, and it is becoming
evident that much time should be devoted
to muscular exercise as to intellectual exercise
No absolute local separation of movement and
SenSlbillty is demonStrable. Muscular fatigue
exhibits phenomena identical with intellectual
fatigue. Internal reflex phenomena seem largely
to condition attention which, therefore. is not
wholly within the Wills control. Nerve cells
have only a small power of resistance and show,
the average. every ten seconds tendency to
rest. 1t is probable that only part of the brain
is active at tlme-the various parts relieve
each other The structure of all nerve cells
seems to be the Same-it is only their relations
which are different. The more mobile any ami
mails eXtremitieS the intelligent. other
things being equal he is; the most mobile parts
those which are the most sensitive
