A TRUE INCIDENT.

One Christmas after we were
through serving the fifteen hun
.dred men that were in the Frank
fort Penitentiary, there were some
cakes left. | took up beautifully
decorated cake and handed it to a
young man who had assisted us
and said: ''You have been so
courteous and so kind to-day,
won't you accept this from the
w oman's Christian Temperance
Union?" The tears sprang to his
eyes; he could scarselY control his
Voice. He thanked me and hur-
riedly turned away to conceal his
emotion. | knew him, | knew his
family, and you would, too, if |
should call his name. His father
had represented this United States
Government as a minister at for
elgn court, and did it creditablv.
The son was under sentence in the
penitentiary for life, and lremem
Der when the sentence was passed.
The report of it in the Courier
journal read something like this,
calling his nance: "He is SEN
fenced to the penitentiary to-day
to wear the stripes for life. He
meets there another brother who
also wears the stripes for life.
Alas, alas, they put that into their
mouths which stole away their
brains" God pity the Christian
mothers of this nation who can
sit at ease with folded hands in
Zion while that is being licensed
upon your streets which will tempt
your boys and put that into their
mouths which will steal away
their brains! Do not forget, Chris
tian women, that the book says:
s'Woe unto them that are at ease
in Zion" -
The young man went his way.
Lunch was served to the ladies'
committee in the large front room
of the hospital building of the pen
itentiary. After lunch this young
man, who was one of the trusted
ones in the prison, came to me and
said: MRS. Beauchamp, do you

Trenton, Feb. 24.-Mr. Zach
Greer died at his home near Brad
ford, Sunday morning at II o'clock,
after an illness lasting several days.
Mr.. Greer was IS years old, was
highly respected by all his neigh
bors and was a consistent member
of the Methodist Church. He was
the father of Elijah Greer, of this
city. He leaves a wife and several
children. His, remains were inferred
at Greer's Chapel this afternoon.

Christmas cake with me?" ] said,
why certainly not, we would be
most happy to have you do it.
But | wondered how this young
man, brought up in home of
culture and refinement, a graduate
of an Eastern college, a young
man who had all the polish and
dignity that you would covet for
your son or mine-how he could
find men in the State prison that
he could call friends. As l drew
aside with the other ladies to the
other side of the hospital, | had a
sustained interest in what would
transpire over at the table which
was being laid for this young man
and his friends. BY and by they
assembled around him. He had
brought in seven, and there sat a
group of eight young men. For
years | had been the leader of a
bible class for young men out of
our State university. After those
prisoners were through with lunch
| walked across and stood by the
table, and as [ looked down into
the faces of those boys-they were
all boys-I would not have known
that | was not looking into the
faces of section of my own Bible
class. And | talked with them a
little while about the things that
would make life brighter in the
beautiful beyond; there was moth
ing in the life here for them.
They we're every one of them life
term men. But that is not all about
it. They represented, indeed, the
bluest blood that flows in the veins
of Kentucky's sons. There sat
the son of Judge of the Supreme
Court. There sat these two young
men, who were sons, as ] said, of
man who had represented US at
foreign court. ALI eight of those
boys represented the best families
and knew every one of them and
much about their personal history.
| knew that it had cost the State of
Kentucky twenty thousand dollars
to incarcerate this young man to
whom had given the cake; knew
also that his mother had died of a
broken heart; that his two maiden

WHAT THE SCHOOL WILL TEACH.

Believing that future explanation
OF the important branches of Natural
Sciences which are proposed to be
taught through the Correspondence
School would aid in demonstrating it's
great value as means of spreading
useful knowledge, the following out
line OF the comparative studies to be
undertaken will be found both inter.
esting and instructive.
1t is only when we come in contact
with such important facts in nature
that we stand aghast at what confronts
us. We become surprised at how lit
tie we really knew before. Sir Thomas
Hexley declared that the "great ben
eft which a scientific education be-
slows, whether as training, or as
knowledge, is dependent upon the ex-
tent to which the mind of the student
is brought into immediate contact with
facts, upon the degree to which he
learns the habit of appealing directly
to nature
The purpose of the school is to bring
the student directly to nature and by
comprehensive study of known and
demonstrable fact to offer means of
conscious culture and intellectual de-
velopment. Briefly summing up the
situation we now present the follow
ing:
CLASSIFICATION.
The province of Natural History is to
describe, compare and classify all natural
objects. These objects, as we have pre-
viously shown are divided into the organic
and inorganic, or those which are, and
those which are not, the products of life.
Biology is the science of the former and
Mineralogy the science of the latter. BIZ
ology again separates into Botany, the Nat
ural History of Plants, and Zoology, the
natural history of animals Mineralogy d.
vides into Mineralogy proper, or the SCI
ence of mineral species, and Lithology, or
the science of mineral aggregates of rocks.
Geology in that comprehensive knowledge
of the earth's structure and development
which rests upon the whole doctrines of
Natural History.
But few are capable of realizing the in
herent beauty and great value that lies
in scientific education. Upon this sub
ject Prof. Ernst Haeckel says: "An edu-
Gated person who knows the elements of
Geology will never experience ennui. He
In the rocks and in the water, in the
desert and on the mountains, the most in
structive stimuli to reflection. More i'm
portant still is the fact that knowledge

ZOOLOGY.

In many respects, Zoology may be de-
scribed as the most extensive of all the
sciences. Its field is a world of varied
forms. To determine their origin and de-
velopment, their structure, habits, distri-
button, and mutual relations, is the work
of the BIOLOGIST. So numerous and far
reaching are the aspects under which the
animal world may be contemplated that
the general science is beyond the grasp
of any one person. Special departments
in Zoology have arisen, and, in its COM
prehensive sense, it is the combined re-
suit OF the labors of many workers, eacn
pursuing his studies in his own particular
line.
First we have Structural Zoology which
treats of the organization of animals. In
this department are embraced Anatomy,
which considers the constitution and con-
struction of the animal frame; and Physi-
ology, which is the study of the apparatus
in action. The FORMER is separated into
Embryology, which is a study of the sue
cessive notifications through which an
animal passes in it's development from the
egg TO the adult state, and Morphology,
which includes a study of all mature ami
mails, OF, the form and arrangement Of
their organs.
Comparative Zoology is the comparison
of the anatomy and physiology of all ami
mails. 1t is in this department that the
labOrs of science has led TO the grand
generalizations as the unity of structure
amidst a diversity of form.
Systematic Zoology is the classification
OF animals, or study of animals, as to
their kinds, giving to each distinctive
name and description.
Oistrbutive Zoology is the knowledge of
the successive appearance Of animals in
the order of time, which also includes the
geographical and physical distribution of
animals. living or extinct, over the surface
of the earth.
Theoretical Zoology is the provisional
mode OF grouping facts and interpreting
them, some of which still stand waiting
at the gate Of science. These are the the
cries which deal with the origin of animal
life and the origin of species.
Included in this branch of Science are
Entomology, the study of insects; Herpet-
ology, the study of reptiles; Ornithology,
the study of birds; Anthropology, the
study of man. In addition to these may
also be given Osteology, the study of
bones; Odontography, the study of teeth;
and Neurotomy, the study of nerves.

period is given at 100000 years and with
but little thickness of strata and consid-
cradle variations.

SURVEY OF GEOLOGY.

This was its first great triumph. The
order of chronological succession deter
mined the next important step was to de-
duce their age from the thickness of the
strata, and then to determine the relative
date of their formation.
According to modern tables there are
five distinct geological ages, each distin-
guished from the other by internal char
acteristics. The relative duration of each
age and the depth of the prevailing for
nation can now be given with fair de-
gree of accuracy.
These geological ages may be classified
as follows:--
Archeozoic, or primordial; PaIeozoic, or
primary; Mesozic, or secondary; Cenozoic,
or tertiary; Anthropozoic, or ouarternary.
Following each age through its subd-
visions and noting it's fossiifera its compar
alive depth in the earth's crust and its
probable age, we find the following:-
Archeozoic-divided into the Laurentian
Huronian and Cambrian. In none of these
have fossil remains of vertebrates been
found, hence, the natural and logical de-
duction that vertebrates did not, and could
not, exist during any of these periods of
sedimentary formation. The approximate
length of this period is placed at So
millions of years and it's strata is esti
mated at thickness of $4,000 feet. Fossil
remains of invertebrates are found in the
Cambrian deposits
Paleozoic-divided into four periods. be-
ing the Silurian. Devonian, Carboniferous
and Permian. This is known as the age of
fishes and reptilia. In the Silurian are
found evidences of the first yertebrates,-
fishes; in the Devonian, dipneusts; in the
Carboniferous. amphibia in the Permian,
reptiles. The estimated age is placed at
34,OO0.O00 years and the depth of strata
at Al 200 feet
Mesozoc-Three periods, namely, The
assic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. In the
first of these subdivisions are found the
Montremes, the next Marsupials, and in the
third Mallotheria, or the pro-Placentals.
Its age is estimated at II million years
and the depth of the strata at 10000 feet.
Cenozoic = Fou, divisions = Being the
Eocene Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene.
This is the age of mammals and in the
last of these subdivisions man like forms
appeared. The characteristic fossils of
each period are Lemurs in the Eocene,
Balloons in the Oligocene, Simans in the
Miocene. and the Ape man in the Pliocene.
The estimated age is million years and
the thickness of strata is placed at $500
feet.

 HAS BRYAN A CHANCE?

A few years ago the Tories or Conservatives were strongly iD- :renched in power and it was said
 hat the Liberals, derived of the eadership of Gladstone. had no chance. But Salisbury was also lead. and neither party had great leader in England.
 Dissensions broke out in the Conservative ranks. Chamberlain drew his knife: and Balfour was in the plight. He hardly knew which way to turn. But despite it all. the Liberals under Sir Henry Embellishments were return ed to power by an overwhelming majority, reminding us of the splendid Cleveland victory in 1892.
 The Democracy in this country has been likened to the Liberals of England If so, then there is q good c'lance for the Democrats this year. The people are tired of a party that has been pawned to the trusts. Mir. Roosevelt has been strong where he has taken up Democratic doctrines. That has been the source of his power with the people.
 Twelve years ago MT. Bryan was look on as an adventurer The business interests distrusted him and thought that his election would mean industrial unrest fol- lowed by bankruptcy. But that time has passed.
 The financial question has been settled. The Democratic platform contains no radical departures from time honored precedent. It is as safe and sane a creed as that of President Roosevelt. No harm would result to the business inter ssts from MT. Bryans election. Of course it may take time to reassure the country. But the people of the United States are manifesting signs of Weariness over the rule of the trusts. There is no reason why the people should not rule The interests are powerful and they are naturally dissatisfied. What will they do9
 Will they take up a Republican who is supposed to be willing to push along Roosevelt policies. or one from whom these policies were derived9
