President was at all times vigorous,
determined and able. There was talk
of again nominating Mr. Cleveland for

against a third term was too general,
and Mr.. Cleveland retired to private
life in 1897 9Itaking up his residence at
Princeton. n J. He was the only sur

Mr.. Cleveland received the degree of

was scarcely less noted as a fisherman
than as a statesman. His la st signific-

opening of the St Louis Exposition

White House Miss Frances Folsom, of

as a young man who feared nothing

Four years after he began the prac-

More than the usual degree of in.

by reason of the fact that an addition.
al teacher is to be employed in the

are number of candidates for this
position as well as for the principal

probably also be some changes in the

ours in the fifth grade Of the second

by the election of pupil teacher
Next in interest to the subject of

Since the meeting the matter ha

SERPENT OF AESCULAPIUS,
Worship Of Snakes Led to Adoption of
the Mystical Symbol.

Worship Of Snakes Led to Adoption of
the Mystical Symbol.
it has been pointed out by DR.. Bou-
din that the worship of the serpent
was so universal in antiquity that all
temples came to be known as "dra-
coma" (serpent houses.
However that may be, serpents were
kept in many of the temples of an
tiqulty, notably in those of Apollo,
whose son, Aesculapius, is represented
in ancient statuary carrying a serpent
intwined round a staff or round his arm.
The serpent, indeed came in time to
be the special mystical emblem or SYM
bol of the Aesculapian art
The serpents of the ancient Greek
temples We're in all probability relics
Of that primitive serpent worship
which was at one time universal among
prehistoric peoples and has not died
out among many savage races at the
present day
And "voodoo," or obj" serpent wor-
ship is still said to linger in the West
Indies among the descendants of
slaves.
In Haiti especially, where negroes
were dumped down from Africa by the
old slave traders and We're kept in re-

1t is noticeable that the cock and

on this occasion We're both Of them
sacred to Aesculapius. Hence we may
infer that the Aesculapian cultus was
originally an innocent form of voodoo
and at the same a primordial religion.

on "Psycho-therapeutics" before the
graduating class of the College of Ply
sicians and Surgeons the other day at

Woman is much more susceptible
than man. he said. There is a good
reason for this. We know that she
has two or more souls She may love
and hate at the same time and the
same person. She may say and think
that she is sick or well when the re.
verse is really true 1t means simply
that one soul is in the ascendency.
These two souls may be absolute stran-

exist We have proved 1t beyond the
