The Study of Physiology.

"1f I had my way" said a Washington
physician. Il would devise a scheme by
which the study of physiology would be
made more thorough, in our public and
private schools. if 1 dispensed with the
dead languages to do it, IL
THE general ignorance of the law of ma
ture and of the construction of the body is.
to my mind. all but criminal. Students are
stuffed with knowledge who cannot tell
whether the liver is on the right or the left
side Of the body. The study of the func-
tons of the organs Of the body seems to
be considered indicate, although, of course,
physiology is taught in certain Of the higher
grades of our schools.
Children should be taught this study by
degrees from tender years up to gradua-
ton, and instead of readin', 'ritin' and
'rithmetic being considered SUFFICIENT, physi-
ology should be added to complete a COM
mon school education. The amount of ig-
norance Of these laws I encounter among
my patients whose educational advantages
have been slight is appalling. while with
those of comparatively good education 1t is
often lamentably bad. If the term false
modesty' ever fitted anything, It is this
question"

WINTER AS A TONIC.
Cold as an Invaluable Stimulant to
the Human system.


From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Many persons regard the winter season
as an unfortunate visitation. 1t is consd-
cred both uncomfortable to the body and
harmful to health This is an error. Cold
is a most potent agent for the restoration
and preservation of normal activity on the
part of the organs of the human body. 1t
is wise plan of Providence which gives
us change of seasons.
The winter cold comes as a tonic to re-
pair the injuries done by the enervating
heat of summer. Summer it is true has
many wise uses in the matter of health. 1t
induces outdoor life. ribs the system of poi
sons through copious perspiration. and
through the scorching rays of sun destroys
germ life.
Winter is the great bracer of the system.
It stimulates activity in every organ. When
cold attacks the surface of the body the
blood Is set into more free circulation as a
means of bodily warmth 1t is through the
circulation of the blood that the human an
atomy is kept in state of repair.
When the food has been digested and
converted into liquid form it is taken up by
the blood and carried the rounds of the sys-
tenn for the purpose of repairing the waste
places. When the cold causes increased
circulation it also brings about more per
feet nutrition.
Mans face and hands illustrate how
weather-proof the body becomes when ex-
posed to air. Continued activity in circula-
ton on the surface. caused by the air COM
ing in contact with the skin. tends to nour-
ish and thicken the skin. Thus mans skin
grows thicker in winter. just as animals
are supplied with double coat of fur The
savages who dwell bareheaded in the open
air are seldom. if ever, known to be at
hicted with bald heads, while. with the civ
ilian who shields his scalp from air. bald
ness is prevalent

days roamed our western borders. practi-
cally without clothing to shelter their bod
les, became. through long exposure, so in
ured to cold that it gave them but little dis

AN ADMIRAL'S AVERSION.
What May BE the Consequences Of
Eating Too Much of One Dish.

II was dining with Admiral Dryfus Of
Virginia, formerly of the confederate navy,
one evening in Richmond" said Edward
Marshall. the author and journalist and
l ordered my favor!te dish of broiled sar-
dimes. There isn't much of a sardine to
broil, but what there is of the little fish
thus prepared is most delicious.

Pacific coast before the war, in a ship
which had an unusually long and tempes

and they were compelled to rely upon the

of timed sardines and boxes of soda crack

CURIOUS TRAITS,
A Mental Degenerate Who DeveIoped
Into a Murderer.


Speaking of the peculiar traits of men, I"
said Washington physician, a specialist,
reminds me of case which you will have
to travel pretty far to duplicate.
you may recall a young fellow named
Dan Driscoll who was hanged for murder
In New York, a few years ago. Driscoll
was the leader Of the 'Why-Ho' gang, the
toughest in the city, whose headquarters
were around Pell street. district now oc-
cupied by the Chinese.
"Driscol used to bite off the tails of cats
and kittens. He would go around among
the saloons of the Bowery and Chatham
square, pick up a cat or kitten. hold it so
that 1t could not scratch, and bite the ami
mails tail in two.
This strange mania may be considered
SO extraordinary as to be false, but it is
literally true. While it is one of the most
singular traits of a depraved mental de-
generate that 1 ever heard of, or saw re-
corded in the books devoted to mental de-
generacy, it represents perfectly under
stood condition among medical men. The
struggles and screams of the cats no doubt
appealed to his sense of pleasure. and he
bit their tails off with sensations akin to
those experienced by a vicious boy when
he stones a cat to death. That Driscoll
was hanged as Murderer was to be expect
ed. and his end was fitting one for such
a man. 1t is my recollection that the MUIR
der was unprovoked and that the victim
was woman"

The golden rays of the eastern sun had
just kissed the white dome Of the Capitol

ward the meridian.
A great city had awakened from it's slum-

The aforesaid rays of the same sun en-
tered his closed shutters just as the clock

dreaded sound which had haunted him and
well nigh driven him to desperat alton.
1t was a weird. wild unearthly sound; a
sound that would, If heard constantly and

to change his boarding house.
1t had long since driven him to drink, but

When Carter was first brought to the
penitentiary he was accorded the usual

health became bad and his nervous system
was on the verge of breaking down. Car
ter eats poorly, does not sleep well and has
