DR.. Richard P. Strong. director of the

The disease often follows the lines Of

ships, and even cases Of yellow fever will
be conveyed from the aforementioned
cities to Honolulu, or even directly to

In the middle of the fourteenth CEN

holding fast to paganism and refusing
Christianity. Fleeing to Muscovy, his

A Famous Society,
From Chambers Magazine.


The closing decades of the last century
comprehend the palmy period of distn-
gulshed little society in London which
might have been described as a club for the
teachers and preachers of their age, secular
or religious. Such, indeed, was the Meta
physical Society. Its organizing spirit had
perhaps been James Knowles. If its most
Famous member were found in W. Z. Glad
stone, its leading spirits, who took the most
active part in its discussions were Cardinal
Manning and Richard Holt Hutton. the
editor of The Spectator. James Martineau
Matthew Arnold and William George Ward
Uhe erewhile mathematical tutor of Bal
1oD, as well as the poet Browning, may
sometimes have been of the company but
the chief figures were those already men
toned. In his earlier days Hutton, like
so many reflective men of his day, was the
disciple of +. d. Maurice; then among his
associates Were j, M. Ludlow and Thomas
Hughes, the author of Tom Browns
Schooldays." Afterward, r. II. Hutton's
mental master would have been recognized
by him in his brother member of the Meta
physical Society, James Martineau.
The great incidents In its proceedings at
this time were the high speculative argu-
ments, wherein different sides were taken
by teachers of their generation so mutually
opposed and so individually distinguished
as Manning and Martineau. upon very rare
occasions it may be, by Gladstone, Brown
ing and. / rather think, once or twice by
Tennyson himself. The extraordinary mag
netism exercised by Martineau over his
personal following was perceptible In his
manner with casual acquantances. As
SUCH ii was realized very many years ago
by the present writer when, as an exceed
ingly young man fresh from college, ne
was concerned in preparing some examna-

Wild Life Observation.

From the Century.
Good observers are probably about as
rare as good poets. Accurate seeing-an
eve that takes in the whole truth. and moth
ing but the truth-how rare, indeed, II Is!
So few persons know or can tell exactly
what they see; so few persons can draw Il
right inference from an observed fact; so
few persons can keep from reading their
own thoughts and preconceptions into what
they see. Only a person with the scientific
habit of mind be trusted to report
things as they are Most of us, in observ-
ing the wild life about us. see more of less
of the truth We see less when our minds
are dull or preoccupied. or blunted by want
of interest. This is true of most country
people We see more when we read the
lives of the wild creatures about us in the
light of our human experience, and impute
to the birds and beasts human motives and
methods. This is too often true of the
eager city man woman who sallies out
into the country to study nature. The ten
dency to sentimentalize nature has. in our
time, largely taken the place of the old
tendency to demonize and spiritize IT. Ii is
anthropomorphism in another form, less
fraught with evil to us, but equally In he
way of clear understanding of the life
