thirty minutes to

several days after, I was quite* pros-
trated and sore. Sometimes the attacks
were almost daily, then less frequent. After
about tour years of this suffering, I was
taken down with bilious typhoid fever, and
when I began to recover, I had the worst
attack of my old trouble l ever experienced.
At the first of the fever, my mother gave
me Ayer's Pills, my doctor recommending
them as being better than anything he
could prepare. I continued taking these
Pills, and'so great was the benefit derived
that during nearly thirty years I have had
but one attack of my former trouble, which
yielded readily to the same remedy."

Education in Public Schools.
PART If.
In my last article on Public Schools
I had referred especially to rural
schools, but there is reason for be-
lieving town and city schools are
furnished in many cases, with teachers,
who are as poorly, If not more poorly
paid, even than in the country.
Aspirants to the positions of Teach-
ers! Did you stop to consider your
acts? Some of you tried to usurp
established teachers, by offering to do it
for less. Base act ! Others offer for $1(i
less than the lowest, Low act 1 Others
of you again would teach for $109.12&,
Light the fires, sweep floors, scrub,
clean stove -pipes, &e., besides paint
gate, mow Yawn, everything, in fact,
except haul the wood, and of course
you could not he expected to do that.
(not having a team nor the prospects
of one). Comical act!
Did you stop to think of all the care
and toil, wear and worry you were
undertaking? That you are driving
your superiors from the arena by your
narrowness of soul? That your own
penurious acts will drive you to penury
and a pauper's grave in "Potter's field"?
Did you not rush into deep water
without inquiring if you could swim?
Are you sure your assets will meet
your liabilities Dec. 31st, 1895. ?
You must be a model in taste. neat-
ness, cleanliness, &c., in fact you should
he well dressed every day, and
especially so on Sunday. If you are
not, complaint from pupils and rate-
payers will soon he heard about the
teacher's shabby dress.
You must take a hoarding house if
you are riot married (and we have
reasons to hope you never shall be) un-
less like Montaigne, you have some
more fruitful source of revenue, i, e.
provided you are a reale. If you are a
female, (and I say it with due respect
for the sex) get. niarried to the first
honest, industrious man who proposes,
provided you love him.
Do not think from this that I wish
to exclude the gentle sex from the
teaching profession ; far from it.
Many, very many, of the hest teachers
in Ontario to -day are women. I aur
proud of them, and only regret that
they are not, in every case, recom-
pensed equally with males, for the
amount and quality of work one.
For the young ladies then, I have
noticed a possible outlet, or means of
escape tram the profession and its pri-
vations. Therefore I turn for a mo-
ment to the mare cheapiete.
Yon are doubtless better at figures
than I (your position demands it), there-
fore I ask you to help me solve a little
mathematical problem. Total income
of the teacher of your class $200.
I must deny you all the luxuries o f
life, and give you only the bare neces-
saries; excuse me for doing this.
• Expense—Board, $&5; washing, $15;
church, one-tenth income, $20; 1 dress
suit, $20; 1 wearing suit, $12,50; 1 het,
$2; 1 cap, $3; 2 pair shoes at $2.25,
$4.50; 1 pair rashers, 60c.; 1 pair

wear, • $3; 4 shirts at $1 each, $4;

ties; at 35e., 1.05; 1 dozen white hand-

tional journal, $1.50; 1 Toronto paper,

and all expenses, $10; statute labor. $1;
12 hair -cuts n•t 15c., $1.80; total ex-
pense, $206,80; total income, $2(X);
loss and gain, $6.80 206.80.
How long, at this rate before you
can retire or take a higher course of
training ?
The al-ove items do not include such
luxuries as mitts, gloves, lectures, en-
terta nments, &c., nor a watch, which
is a necessity. It also precludes all
train or stage fares from home to
s=chool and vice versa, so you must needs
walk. An overcoat is also a luxury
you must forego unless you wear your
old one.
While i despise the action of such
deluded teachers, I pi;,y their condition.
Those who flatter themselves in having
: little larger salary count your net
gain for 1895 only, lest at the end of
that time a cheaper class of cheapish+
usurp you. I speak now fromanalogy.

PROGRESS OF THE WORLD IN
SCIENCE AND ART.
The Diphtheritic Serum—Counterfeit

nulls ot Hypnotism, Eta ; •mss,
The news gathered from all quarters
that the use of serum for diphtheria is
proving marvelously effective in every
part of the world, says "The Saturday
Review. The ordinary mortality In
Great Britain averages about 82 per
cent. In the thirty-six cases which have
been reported during the last tures
months by private physicians in The
British Medical Journal, the mortality
has been reduced by the use of the
seruni to 5 per cent. What this means
may be estimated from the fact that the
deaths from diphtheria in England alone
in twenty-five years have amounted to
97,000. Under the new system of treat-
ment it seems likely that they
will be reduced to not more than 860,
and possibly less. For diphtheria spreads
by contagion from mouth to mouth, and
the new serum has the power, not only
of exerting this magnificent curative in-
fluence over the disease when estab-
fished, but of rendering those who
surround the patient immune frorn the
poison. Ica other words, it is not only
curative, but, like vaccination against
smallpox, it is also preventive. So great
is the demand for the remedy that it is
at the present moment practically not
procurable in this country, and we hear
of practitioners anxiously rushing about
to obtain one single dose for their dying
relatives. It has been found that it is
by the vaccination of horses, and the
use of the serum thus obtainable, that
the best supplies can be procured. The
process is slow and costly, and it may
be some months before an adequate
supply is obtainable. Municipalities and
governments are vying with each other
all over the continent of Europe in al-
lowing large grants of money for fur-
nishing such supplies.
The fleet Photographs
The three-quarter photographs which
we leave behind at the present day,
faked up by the photographer's art, will
be useless to the men of the future as
records to tell what manner of people
we were, says S. S. Buckman in The
Nineteenth Century. With lapse of
time, the widening of the family circle
and the various incidents of workday
life, it is doubtful it these pictures will
be regarded with any reverence or
affection by our posterity from a merely
sentimental point of view. But this
would he changed if photographs were,
as shou'd be all photographs which aim
to give a true picture of the face, taken
just tar.) ways, profile and full face.
They would thus be of scientific value,
and even a dilletanto scientific amateur
of the future would esteem a family col-
lection as something of interest for the
lessons in evolution or anthropology it
might teach. The want of such photo-
graphs at the present day makes it ex-
tremely difficult to impress upon the
layman or to prove to the scientist how
much people change facially during life.
Three-quarter views give but a feeble
idea of the development. Nothing is
more remarkable shah pt comparison of -
the same sized profile views of the same
person at 6 and 30 years of age; ,the
growth of the nose and the develop-
ment of the forehead are so great that
the jaws appear to have diminished in
size, and this is really what the jaws have
done in proportion to the whole face.
Ancient Methwarts.
The ancients, while excelling in po-
litical science and in literature, were
woefully deficient in a knowledge of
the laws of nature and their application
in human affairs. That it should be so
is easily understood because. according
to the historian, Rankine, it was both
an ancient and medieval belief that
there is a double system of natural laws,
one theoretical, geometrical, rarional,
discoverable by contemplation, applica-
ble to celestial, etherial, indostructiblo
bodies, and being an object of the noble
and liberal arts; the other practical,
mechanical, empirical, discoverable by
experience, applicable to terrestrial,
gross, indestructible bodies, and being
an object of what were once called the
vulgar and sordid arts. Tho inechan-
ical knowledge and practical skill of
Archimedes, which rendered him so
illustrious, were by men of learning, his
contemporaries and successors, regarded
as accomplishments of an inferior order,
to:which the philosopher,from the height
of geometrical abstr'ation, condescended
with a view to the service of the State.
The Steerage Passage
To -day an emigrant in one - of our
great Atlantic steamers makes the voy-
age under sanitary conditions greatly
superior to those he enjoys at home,
said Sir William Forwood before the
Sanitary Institute at Liverpool. The
steerages are lofty and well ventilated
by movable cowls and electric tarns, and
abundantly lighted by large side ports
by day and by the electric light by
night; the beds and bedding are scrupu-
lously clean, the bedding is supplied by
the shipowner, and is (lever used for a
second voyage; ample seat and table
accommodation for meals is provided,
and each compartment is furnished with
a pantry and hot and cold water, under
the care of a special attendant ; on deck
a spacious promenade is available to
the emigrant under a shelter deck,
where he can take exercise in all
weather; the sanitary arrangements
are excellent; his food is well cooked
and without stint as to quantity, and for
his midday meal he has always soup,
fresh meat and vegetables. The ship
doctor has ample hospital accommoda-
tion at his commend. and is furnished
with a complete dispensary and surgery.
Rrp Ism.
"Hypnotized subjects lose their will
power because they are dominated by
the thought, will and suggestion of an-
other and they cannot rise higher in
moral sentiment than that which actu-
ates or inspires the hypnotizer," says
Dr. Wm. M. McLanry. `Inasmuch as
persons of rare accomplishments, good
mind and intellect, may be held under
the hypnotic influences of persons every
way inferior to them and without being
aware that they are so influenced, is to
be deplored by everyone devoted to the
welfare and development of our race.
1 believe from my own observation of
cases persons may become insane or idi-
otic by the poreistence of hypnotic sug-
gestion. The 'general tendency of
hypnotism is to lower the moral tone.
Accustomed occupations become odious;
the nearest and dearest friends become
objects of indifference or aversion."
THE LATEST IN CYCLING.
A Ontltornla Wheelman Who Has Adapt.
ed His wheel to ,the Railroad Track.
J. W. Ritchey, a modest citizen of
California, is speeding over railroad
tracks on his own safety bicycle at the
comfortable gait of twenty miles an
hour and butter.
The means by which Ritchey has
adapted the familiar roadster to the
gauge of a railway are as follows: He
has attached a four -inch flanged wheel.
shaped exactly like a large spool, to a
rod in front of the hind wheel, and a
similar one on an arm projecting about
three feet in front. In addition to this,
an eighteen -inch wheel, at the end of a
rod so arranged as not to interfere with
the working of the pedals, runs on the
other rail. In this way the machines is
perfectly balanced, and all the rider has
to do is to work the pedals in the usual
way. A patent for the improvement
has been applied for, and the outlook is
that before long semi -deserted passen-
ger trains will' be followed by an end-
less procession of ''bikes," on which idle
conductors and despairing news agents
will gaze helplessly from the rear plat-
form.
In order to nut the improved machine
to a thorough practical test, ;.he inven-
tor recently left the city for a trip to El
Paso, Tex. At the end of the second
day he reached Bakersfield in Kern
County no more fatigued than if he had
traveled in a Pullman coach.
"I found it easy to make 20 miles an
hour," he said,when discussing the trip.
"and with very little extra work could
have averaged 15." He found it a good
plan to travel in the wake of a train, be-
cause the latter served as a convenient
windbreak.
One incident of the trip is of especial
interest for it determined the quer•
tion raised by the irate railroad com-
pany of the right to use its roadbed by
Ritchey and his prospective imitators.
It occurred at Fresno. where he war)
arrested on a charge of trespassing. The
decision of the superior judge who heard
the case was that a person on wheels
had the same right to ride on the track
as a pedestrian, whereupon the traveler
was discharged and hurried ori so as to
overtake the train ahead of him, which
had got a little start.
But while Ritchey may be congratu-
lated as being the pioneer, iu this cram, -
try, of track traveling on a safely bi-
cycle, and while the dream of local
cyclists, reale and female, may, during
the coining winter, image countless ex-
cursions between the oceans, candor
compels the statement that the Ritchey
is not the first ot its kind. For many
months past a machine, similarly con-
ceived, has been in use by the Russian
police force, and if the reports that have
reached this country are correct it is
even more simple in design than that
which bore the intrepid Ritchey across
the southern country. For its adapta-
tion to the rails is effected by tha addi-
tion of a solitary eight -inch wheel, fluted
and attached to a rod which can be
fastened to the forepart of the bicycle.
The machine is not by any means popu-
lar in Russia, nor is it ever likely to bo -
come so. Its use is confined by law to
members of the military pclice whose
duty it is to precede imperial trains and
to remove frorn the track dynamite
bombs and other evidences of affection
for the Czar.

The Star Systems,
The internal heat of the earth 18 sup-
posed to he the result of a thermody11a-
mic transformation by which the energy
of aggregation in the days of chaos was
converted and stored as hent in the
slowly forming arid now cooling mass,
says Professor Robert If. Thurston.
The heat of the sun and of all the stars
is presumed to have had similar origin,
and the formation of the universe with
its nebular, its comets, its countless sys-
tems ot unmeasured stars and infinity of
satellites, our own little sun and its at-
tendants included, was very probably
the grandest of illustrations of the con-
version of the energy of the fall of inde-
finitely dispersed mists of myriad forms
of matter toward their common center
of gravity, and the production of light
and heat of every grade by the collision
of atom with at gregation of particlem, of molicule with
molicule, the ag
with particle, tli'e impact of meteorite
with meteorite, and the crash of world
upon world, during the eternity of pre-
paration, resulting finally in the con-
struction of the star systems and the
solarstems as we now
