Plants and animals muy le forced, and unusual and interest - Ing results niay be produced by forcing; but people no longer wish a son or a daughter to be a prodigy in one direc- tion at the cost of normal development In other directions. Perhaps the most valuable contribulkon to the science of education has come thrdugh a study of the laws which obtain in the growth and development of the bruin, and the con- ditions ti :der which that growth and ▪ development are most heulthy and com- plete. There aro limes and seasons for the development of the mental and moral faculties. as there aro of lite phys- ical faculties. While such tines and seasons are not precisely the same for all children, we fed that all attempts at premature development not only are worthless, but are permanently injuri- ous. The physiologists say that the brain cells develop as do other physical organs, not only through Thought, but through muscular activity, and the exer- cise of our senses. Accordingly, a !healthy and timely growth of the brain is to t,e prorfoted by an education in- volving a great variety of activity, skill- fully adjusted as to quality and quan- tity to the mental and physical status of the child. . 'One of ,..e largest and most interest- ing typewriting competitions that ever have taken place was the recent one at Paris, when 157 competitors, male and female, rattled and banged at their machines for four hours. Those who were present describe the noise as a miniature hail and thunder storm. 11. says much for feminine nerve and endur- ance that it was a woman gained the first place. .Mlle. Gabrielle Revert, a na- tive of Bordeaux, at the end of the four hours was ?,000 words ahead of every one else in the room. flow formidable was her victory may be imagined from the fact that her most dangerous oppon- ent n11 through the dictation was a M. Porde., secretary of the Paris Chamber of Ccnlmerce. At ono time, indeed, this gentleman had gained some hundred wards on Mlle. Revert ; butt she soon pulled up with a brilliant finish. The judges had given some chapters of "Paul and Virginia" as the test -fairly difficult prose, as all the world knows -and when the bell was rung for a finish Mlle. Revert, had written 17,000 words In the four hours. or at the rale of seventy ,words a minute. An arousing, if some- wha( pathetic, incident of the competi- tion,scrivener, tun, was an old fashioned , wito would not adroit that the pen could be beaten. The conlrary was proved be- fore Ise was half an hour at his task. The doctors are rechristened-; they are to be inununizators. Our blood con- tains red and white corpuscles that float in a yellowish fiuil, plasma; or serum. Them are 500 limes as ninny red corpus- cles as white, hence the color of the blood. But the white corpuscles or leu- e,eytes aro the soldiers of the system That help tr. resist the disease -bearing germs. There seem to be in the serums or the blood other agencies which resell and kill bacteria, and the white corpus- cles swallow the slain and carry thein e lf the field. These defending And pro- tecting powers willen us may be strengthened indefinitely. Sir Almnrth \\ right recommended inoculation for typhoid some eleven years ago. end now il is practised successfully in Indira, it is not ne esenr•y, however. that we be immunized against all the hosts of germ diseases that flesh 1s heir lo. Against ninny of Ithe.e ills most of us are im- mune; bol the doctor. the medical int- miunizntor, must find out what ore the best vaccines or alexines, otherwise re - /deters, to give us when disease slims itself. That is the duly Ihnt lies before us. says Dr. \Vribht. It is a new science end a new art, of unbounded eotentiali- ties. PCNe11)\ 11111 111 rail 1 t 11111:.

OUR TREATMENT OF OTHERS Or - Be Calm ; Wait Before Acting in the Hour of Emotion Oh that 1 had wings like a dove. For then 1 would Ily away tied be at rest.-1'sulins lv. 6. It Is probable that these words were culled forth by Absalom's rebellion. Ile wanted his father's throne and had him- self proclaimed king. When David heard of this he was greatly distressed and wished that he could get away into some quiet theert place. It was u fool- ish wish. Ile was not at his best and should have waited until his feelings were under control. No flour of life calls for more care than that which brings us face to face with en unpleasant experience. R would be unreasonable to ask that such a thing should not affect our feelings, but it is not unreasonable to ask that we should move at such a time with great care. Every man knows when he is not at his best, and, knowing, should school himself into lite habit of waiting until he calms down before speaking or act- ing. No surgeon would perform an op- eration calling for great care if he had trembling of brands. No engineer would go into his engine to do important duly if ho had serious trouble with Isis eyes.

If things have gone wrong in the office so that we cannot sleet the visitor in a pleasant, manly way, we should ask him to call at another tune. if the an- noyances of the home have been such that when the child has done wrong we cannot administer correction without show of temper, we should either defer correction or let the wrong go unno- ticed. We nhnke a mistake every lime we net our feelings vvhich do not represent cur best selves and sometimes do in- jury to others. No moll ran be at his best all the time. The• most even-tempered may fe ru111ed sometimes. The most cheerful alien have blue ailments.

It is not possible to prevent unpleas- ant circumstances having some effect upon our feelings. but It is possible to refrain from speaking or acting UN'l'll. BETTER FEELINGS COME. Most of us contrive to control our feel- ings when there is something personal at stake. The man of business may be vexed, but when a good customer ap- pears there is little danger of his doing anything rude. Many annoying things may conte into the life of a good house- wife, but !hero is not much danger c;1 their showing effect when a good soci- ety friend calls. The day in the store rung• le hard, but the husband, if he will, can control his feelings when an- swering tedious questions f'oin his wife as when such questions are asked by a good cit tomer. The day in the home may be trying, but the wife who can, despite this, con- trol her feelings and be agreeable to a visitor should be able to assume nn equ- ally pleasant planner to her husband. We cannot always is al our best, but when cur feelings are ruffled it is our duty to keep them under control and to be especially careful at such times in our treatment of others. *******w****Ii HOME3. :***********4 EIES.

Golden Text: Gen. 28. 15. THE LESSON WORD STUDIES. Based on the text of the Reeisedl Ver- sion. 'fhe History of Origins Resumed. -The Temperance anti Easter Lessons to which we have given our attention on the two preceding Sabbaths have broken into the continuity of our study of line early beginnings of the Hebrew people. To -day's lesson picks up the thread of the Genesis narrative exactly where we dropped it three weeks ago, 110 recorded events intervening between the lesson for March 17 and this one. Rebekah, the wife of Isaac, after counseling her son Jacob to flee front the wrath of Esau to Laban, his uncle, in distant Horan, pro- ceeds to enlist. the oo-operation of Isaac in furthering her plans and ennbling journey in the guise of t make the Jacob o t a suitor, rather than as an acknowledged fugitive from the just auger of a deeply - wronged brother. To accomplish her purpose Rebekah resorts to deception and by its practice succeeds in withhold- ing from her aged husband the real rea- son for desiring that Jacob shall without delay proceed upon the long journey suggested. Apparently also she succeeds in keeping Esau from suspecting the real purpose of the journey upon which, shortly afterward, his brother sets forth. Verse 1 . Isaac called Jacob -Soon. it not immediately. after the petulant nut - break of Rebekah : "1 am weary of my life because of the daughters of Ileth 11 Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Ilelh. such as these of the daughters of the land. %vital good shall my life do me?"

Bring Thee again into this land - The word "again" in Old English is con- stantly used where we should say "back." The archaism in this case does not, however, as sometimes, create am- biguity. 16. 1 knew it not-Appnrently Jacob itad been accustomed to think of Jeho- vah's presence as associated especially with certain sacred places at which his forefathers had dwelt and worshiped.

Drugs, opiates, morphine and, cocaine, dissipation in the days of his prosperity and exposure of late had ctmbined to put 1dn1 "down and rut." Fifteen years ago he claimed that his profits for a single week were $250,000. Those were the days when his men were. receiving victims in \\',st Street, in Chambers Street, in Christ:ether Street, around Bleecker Street, and further up- town. All this was done under the eyes of the police and without their objection. HOW HE STARTED. \Vhen in his Ieeris, McNally appeared as a waiter in a reseal frequented by thieves, known as the "Plunge." It Was here that he mel "Bed" Leary, Draper, Irving, and finally, Joe Little, one of the pioneers of the green goods game. McNally and n friend got 84,000 from a visitor at the "Plunge" one night, and. with that bought the resort. It has been said that a police official lent him 520,- 000. Ile wrote the famous "So Help Me God" circular letters, scattered them broadcast through the United States, and began to gather in the harvest. Then he met Jennie Munro or Nellie Marne, as she preferred to be called. Ile is said to have presented her with $250,- 000 worlh of jewels in ten years, besides spending as much more upon her. They, filled up an opium den. When the down- fall came, Nellie Marue died penniless at Bellevue Hospital. BEGINNING OF THF. END. Up to 1891 McNally flourished. Ile moved across the river to Hoboken, New Jersey, and then to Jersey City. An- thony Comstock and his men made a raid upon the headquarters, which was an entire house, in which 40 clerks worked. Ile went abroad for a year, after living in Philadelphia, Bridgeport and South Norfolk. Ile carne back, started in Chi- cngo, where he was arrested, and in 1S95 was sentenced to three years' im- prisonment at Joliet.
