No second engagement has taken

Pajarito the contending forces used
firearms and cutlasses. The losses on
both sides are heavy. Several persons

THE STUDY OF
PHYSIOLOGY
BY Vim GERff4RDT.

A knowledge OF the human body and
the functions of all its members is OF
the utmost inheritance, as it is essen
tial to the health and happiness of
man. Man shonld know man. not
only socially and mentally, but physi-
callv.
So thourht and maintained James
Moore. a teacher in rural district,
and therefore was anxious to intro
duce the study of physiology in his
school. Some of the patrons favored
II. while few opposed it, among
which was David Harvey, the miller,
man of considerable prominence.
He was uutspoken in his opposition,
claiming that it had tendency to
vitiate the morals Of the pupils.
The teacher. anxious to counterfeit
tire effect of such views, and DESTROYS
to bring about unanimitv of senti-
ment among the patrons on this sub
ject. adopted the following plan:
Prior to the opening of the school
term he called meeting of the pa
irons, the object of which. he stated,
was to deliver lecture on school in
terests, with special reference to the
school he was teaching.
After the delivery of his address he
stated that he would be glad to hear
from the patrons, if any of them had
anything to saw Embracing this OPP
portunity. as was expected by the
teacher, the miller arose and stated
his objections to the study of Dhvsiol-
ogy i'll the public schools. In reply
the teacher said:
Mr.. Harvev, allow me to say that
for the last 20 years you have been our
good and popular miller, and are

LAWYER AND AN AUTHOR
New British Ambassador Consid-
cred a Versatile Genius,
SIR HENRY MORTIMER DuRAND
Who Is Now al the Spanish Court viii
Arrive in Washington il
Short Time.
SIR HENRY MORTIMER DuRAND

Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, the Brit
is ambassador in Madrid has been APP
pointed British ambassador to the Unit
ed States, 70 succeed the late Sir Michael
Herbert
The selection Of Sir Henry was a sur
prise to most people, chiefly because he
has never had any official connection
with Washington. II Is learned that Sir
Henry has frequently expressed great
liking for Americans and desire TO so
To the United States. His promotion
comes more or less in the ordinary
course of diplomatic changes; but one
OF the strongest recommendations that
appealed to Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe was Sir Henry's reputation Of be-
ing an excellent lawyer (having been
called to the bar in 1922 A similar
qualification had much to do with the
late Lord Pauncefote's selection.
The new ambassador viii speedily bid
farewell to the Spanish court and pro-
coed TO the United States Lady Durand
is not very strong, but 1t is hoped the
American climate will benefit her health
and enable her to completely fulfll her
duties as hostess of the British embassy.
The daughter of Sir Henry and Lady
Durand is much liked in Madrid society.
Their son Ia an officer in the Lancers.
In addition to his diplomatic success
In Persia, India and Afghanistan. Sir
Henry is an expert shot and has had
many adventures with big game while
hunting in India, where he was closely
connected with Gen Lord Roberts, serv-
ing as his political secretary during the
famous Cabul campaign.
Sir Henry, who was born In 1850, is a
son OF the late Maj Cen Sir Henry
Durand. He married in 1876 Ella REEVE,
daughter OF Teighmouth Sandys, OF the

kind as to tell me and this assembly
how a mill ought to be built. and
what is necessary to complete equip

The miller. thus fiattered. Willingly
complied. Eager to display his knowl-
edge ~ this lire, he gave dasorip-
tion IN detail of everything pertaining
to mills aud milling, stating farther
that cauahle and qualified miller
must have "A thorough knowledge OF
all this, else he will be on,plete
failure, and incur the contempt the
community. How could he control all
the machinery without knowing al
its Darts, and their relation TO each
other discern any defect and rem
edy it?
korrect-all true. remarked the
teacher. And now. allow me to say
that, for the same reason, every one
should have knowledge Of the bean.
tiful and perfect build of the living
human body. which is so fearfully
and wonderfully made. and whose
construction in all its parts is the
most wonderful in tho world
1t is not enough that the physician
only should know the mechanism OF
the human body, but overv child of
proper age ana understanding should
be taught the nature and functions OF
the members of the human frame.
SO clearly. forcibiy and oonvincingly
did the teacher present his plea and
argument that no one, not even the
miller, felt like disputing it and the
teacher had reason to believe that hc
had accomplished his object.

(Newly Appointed British Ambassador to
the United States)
British civil service Sir Henry was APP
pointed to the British privy council in
1901. He Is the author Of life OF his
father, Sir Henry Durand and Of Helen
Treveryan."
He entered the Bengal civil service In
1873, was political secretary to Sir f.,
now Earl, Roberts during the Cabul
campaign Of 1879, and foreign secretary
In India from 1884 to 1894. In 1893 he
conducted an important diplomatic mis-
sion to the Amer of Afghanistan and
from 1894 to 1900 he was British minister
| to Teheran
In the mission to Cahul in 1903 he was
completely successful. The Indo-
Afghan frontier question, the position
of Afghanistan in regard to its Oxus bor-
der. as defined in the Clarendon agree
ment between England and Russia, and
other matters which had caused some
| trouble, were adjusted to the mutual sat
isfaction OF all parties concerned, with
the probable exception Of Russia. AS a
reward for his services, Sir Henry was
made knight commander of the Order
of the Star In India.
1t Is worthy of mention here that the
British mission to Afghanistan In 1893
WAS full Of perils. The safety of Sir
Henry and his party was intrusted en-
tirely. to Afghan honor, the sole guard
being furnished by the ameer's troops.
and Cabul was known to be hotbed OF
| ferocious fanaticism.
The British commissioners special
endeayor was to convince the ameer that
England was single-minded in her de-
sire 10 uphold the independence of
lAfghanistan. To do this required much
tact. which. fortunately for England,
the commissioner had acquired in the
Indian foreign Office.
In 1900 Sir Henry became ambassador
and consul general al Madrid.
The significant and important feature
of Sir Henry's selection is the fact that
1t is the first time the British govern
ment has sent an ambassador directly
30 Washington. Heretofore Washington
has been looked upon as post ranking
at the foot Of the embassies. hence It has
been the custom TO promote minister
to the embassy to be ambassador here.
so the action of the British government
in this case marks growing sense of
appreciation Of the importance OF Wash
ireton as a diplomatic post
