Trudall'e Imagination.
This Instructive imagination for we
are not concerned with mere reminis
cent imagination here resulting in the
creations of the poet and there in the dis
coveries of the man of science, is the
highest of hnman faculties. With tfaiB
faculty Professor Tyndall was largely
endowed. In common with iraccesrful
investigaton in general, he displayed it
in fanning trne conceptions of physical
processes previously misinterpreted or
minterpreted, and again in conceiting
modes by which the actual relations of
the phenomena could be demonstrated,
and again in devising fit appliances to
this end. Bat to a much greater extent
than usual he displayed constructive
imagination in other fields.
Be was an excellent expositor, and
good exposition implies much construct
ive imagination. A prerequisite is the
forming of trne ideas of the mental
states of these who are to be taught,
and a further prerequisite is the imagin
ing of methods by which, beginning
with conceptions they possess,, there
may be built up in their minds the con
ceptions they do not possess. Of con
structive imagination as displayed in
this sphere men at large appear to be
almost devoid, as witness the absurd
ystems of teaching which in past times,
and in large measure at present, have
stupefied and still stupefy children by
presenting abstract ideas before they
have any concrete ideas from which
they can be drawn. Whether as lec
turer or writer, Professor Tyndall care
fully avoided this vicious practice.

Keit to the man who invented or dis
covered fire, the greatest benefactor of
the human race will be the man who
abolishes smoke. Nothing else will so
change the conditions of life in our
great Cities. Without saying that this
result is already at hand, a great step to
ward it is made by the new invention in
fireplaces. By this system s fire caa
undoubtedly be produced without
smoke, and though at present a special
fireplace most be employed for the pur
pose xosre is no reason wnv every one
who henceforth fits np a kitchen range
or a furnace shonld not have a smoke
less one. I expect to see the time when
every householder as well as every man
ufacturer will be compelled to consume
bis own smoke. In the meantime, how
ever, there is the strongest inducement,
short of compulsion, far doing so, far
the system, like all which are based on
perfecting the combustion of the fuel,
gives a largely increased heat far a re
duced consumption of coal. London

and the Old tTnrecanstrueteu Confederate
I Took Fains to Blake Theat Known.
Very many of the early settlers of
( Hontr.na were natives of Missouri, Ken
! tucky, Arkansas and the border states
i of the war. They eauie by tits Missouri
river to Fort Benton or by coach from
: Omaha and for many years were in the
majority at elections, when they held
! the flag of Democracy to the musthead.
The result of this immigration was a
' strong sentiment for the confederacy in
the early days, and in Irl when Gen
eral Phil Sheridan and sttiif mado an
official visit to the northwestern posts,
the sentiment had not disappeared.
Helena, Hon., was just emorgitig from
the garb of a mining ccmp, but a few
1 enterprising .citizens with ei-Govcrnor
i fiauser at the head determined to give
a fitting reception to the visitors. A
delegation met Sheridan and his party
in a stagecoach several miles from the
town and escorted them to the leading
hotel. On the following afternoon a
banquet was given in the First National
bank, located then in the present gam
bling district
The menu consisted mostly of canned
goods, jack rabbit meat and fresh game,
because the town was remote from civ
ilization. There was, however, plenty
of champagne, since that wine is usu
ally found in mining camps even when
nothing in the way of food is left but
flour. The gathering was very demo
cratic. Everybody in town was invited
to see "Little FhiV though there wns
much grumbling among the unrecon
structed Confederates over the display
made for a Cnion general. There were
lawyers and mining camp 'politicians
mingled with gamblers, miners and ex
road agents, many of whom wore six
shooters at their belts. Among them
was one old time Confederate soldier,
who had turned bis talents from the
chivalry of war to dealing "bank." fie

the feast, and when the toasts began
this restlessness increased. His face

Finally he conld stand it no longer.
Be arose with a wineglasB in one hand
and a six shooter in the other, and in a
voice hoarse with rage shouted:
"Here b to ail mankind, so that no

With that be dashed the wineglass on
the floor and emptied the six shooter
into the ceiling so that the room was
filled with smoke. The guests reached
for their revolvers, but the gambler,
with a look of contempt, returned bis

General Sheridan afterward said that

The 9an Who Tired Carlyle.
There is a story of Carlvle in his old
age having taken the following fare
well in bis broadest Scotch of a young
friend who had had him in charge for
walks, and woo while almost alwayB
adapting himself to Carlyle's mood bad
on a single occasion ventured to dis
agree with him, "I would have yon to
know, young man, that yon have the
capacity of being the greatest bore in
Christepdom." The boredom bad con
sisted solely in the rather negative sip
of not having been convinced of the
truth of one of Carlyle's dogmas, a sin
all the more heinons because, instead of
standing baldly np to Carlvle and de
claring his doctrine utterly perverse,
the companion had betrayed his weak
ness by an apologetic tone.
Now, Carlvle liked disciples, and he
respected antagonists, but he could not
endnre being merely thwarted without
being thoroughly roused, fie felt in
that case that he bad made no impres
sion at all on his interlocutor? that be
had neither won bim nor excited him
to resistance. And nothing bored bim
so mncb as that. Of course it is only
exceptionally despotic minds that are
bored in this way. London Spectator.

The artificial violets are a wonderful

every day a 10 cent bunch of nature's
production, which she judiciously in
terspeises through a large cluster of the
handiwork of art. The little leaven of
fragrance is sufficient, and by tbiu sim
ple and ingenious means is secured a

HUMAN DEFECTIVES.
Methods of Treatment guggeetsd For Cer
tain Classes of Public Dr-pendente.
Dr. James W. Walk, in a lecture on
"Defectives" before the University of
Pennsylvania, defined the detectives as
those UKuniiere of society having serious
mental or physical defects, either con
genital or acquired. This group com
prised six cittsses first, the blind; sec
ond, the deaf mutes; third, insane;
fourth, the tcshle minded, ur idiots;
fifth, the inebriates where drunken
ness has become a disease and sixth,
the epileptics.
Dr. Walk took up each of these class
es and stated what he believed to be
the best way to deal with them. Of the
blind and di.tf he said: "Blind, deaf
and feeble iniuded children have as
much claim to an education as others,
and since their defects prevent them
bem receiving it in the ordinary pufalio
schools it is only just that they should
be instructed in schools especially adapt
ed to their condition. Such schools are
also a most economical investment of
public money, for by means of the train
ing they give tho great majority of the
blind and deaf mutes become self sup
porting in adult lite.
"To fit blind children for self support
it is necessary that their discipline
while at school should be rigid, so ss to
impart thoroughneaj in the practice of
the few industries, such as weaving and
music, which are Open to them. The
managers of the best schools for the
blind now insist upon this rigid train
ing, and in this way sometimes incur
unpopularity among those who do not
understand their leal motivo.
"For those of the adult blind who
cannot maintain themselves in open
competition with normal workmen
there should be founded in each state
industrial homes where they may reside
and labor, the deficiency in their earn
ing being snpplied by benevolence.
Where such homes are well condncted
they are nearly self supporting.
"Under the stimulus uf the popular
interest excited by the eloquent ad
dresses of the great philanthropist, Doro
thea Dix, Pennsylvania many yours ago
undertook to make adequate provision
for the insane at public expense. The
first institution tor their care in the
commonwealth was the insane depart
ment of the old Pennsvlvania hospital.
We have now many aaylunis for these
people, but not enough yet to accommo
date them all. Asylums should be so
regulated that the inmates can work
and be self supporting. '
Dr. . Walk thought that idiots, or the
feeble minded, should not be permitted
to marry. Of epileptics he thought the
same, as their defects are hereditary.
Inebriates should be confined for a long
period, during which tbey would be
forced to abstain totally. This treat
ment, he said, results often in perma
nent cure. Philadelphia Press.
The Man In the Moon.
According to Pratorius, the man in
the moon is the Patriarch Isaac, carry
ing tbe bundle of sticks which were to
be lighted to sacrifice his own body on
the mountain top. Dante believes him
to be Cam, carrying a bundle of thorns,
the meanest offering bis lands uffurded,
as a present to God. In Iceland the peo
ple claim that tbey can see the face of
Adam in the moon and that of Eve in
the sun. Among tbe Frieburgers there
is a superstition which says that the
maras and spots on the moon's face are
the outlines of the traitor, Jndas Iscar
iot, holding his hand over hiB face while
sneezing just prior to hanging himself.
This last belief accords with the old
Frankieh legend, which says that there
was no spot on Luna's bright lace until
after the time of the crucifixion of
Christ. Still another story tells us that
in the time of tbe creation God threw
an offending angel against the face of
tbe mocn, while another is to the effect
that the moon witnessed the creation of
Adam and Eve and took an impress of
their features on bis surface, intending
to people his own land with similar be
ings. When he essayed to imitate God's
works, be made nothing but a slimy ser
pent, which since that day bas contin
ued to fold and unfold its mighty coils
in full view of the descendants of the
God created beings. St. Louis Bepub

The little creature wbicb possesses
tbe distinction of having more legs than
any other animal is that wbicb belongs
to tbe family of insect known as mille
pede, or thousand footed. There are
several different species of these, but
they all possess the common character
istic of baring segmented bodies, each
segment of wbicb is provided with its
own pair of feet. These are set so close
ly along tbe body as to resemble bain,
and when the' move one after another
with perfect regularity the effect is pre
cisely the same on a small scale as that
of a Bold of oats undulating under the
inDnence of tbe wind. Some species of
millepeds have as many as 800 separate
and distinct legs. They are all per
fectly hatuiless, unlike the centipede,
which frequently have tbe power of in

j The hotels and boarding houses of Sar
Francisco are full to overflowing. The
influx of eastern visitors to the Mid
; winter Exposition during the present
I month has been very large. One train
I loud coming in over the Santa Fe rants
! took three locomotives to draw it, and
on tbe following day it was estimated
that B,000 strangers arrived in the city.
The result is that the exposition grounds
have presented livelier scenes on days
when no s)ieoial effort has been made to
draw a crowd than on some of tbe
special days earlier in the history of the
exposition.
The attractions offered to visitors,
aside from the standing attraction of
the stale and intentional exhibits, are
being continually augmented. The
fruit shows at least those mads in
direct connection with the citrus fairs of
the state of California are now a thing
of the past, though there are permanent
exhibits of citrus fruits maintained in
the Southern California building, in the
Northern California building and in
others of the county buildings on the
exposition grounds. The flower shows
are now beginning to play a prominent
part in the exposition program. The
first of these was "Almond Blossom
Day, " when tbe Alameda county build
ing was turned into a perfect bower of
almond blossoms; when one could not
walk without the blossoms brushing
against bim, and when the air was
almost heavy with the delicious spring
fragrance. And now come tbe roses
and all the other beautiful flowers which
bloom in rose time. The town of Ber
keley has prided itself for years upon
the great variety and the general excel
lence of its roses, and on Wednesday,
April 11, there was a "Berkeley Rose
Day" in the Alameda county building,
and the floral sensation created by the
almond blossoms a month before was
more than duplicated in this particular.
April 11 was also "State University
Day, " and it is worthy of meutios in
this connection that the entire day wns
celebrated without any literary exer
cises whatever. This was probably tbe
first time that a university celebration
utterly dispensed with tbe literary feat
ures. The university of the state of
California is a wonderfully rich and a
wonderfully comprehensive institution.
It has the most magnificent exhibit in
the Manufactures and Liberal Arts
building that was ever made by any
university in any exposition in tbe his
tory of the world. About tbe only feat
ure of the university not displayed in
the exhibit above referred to is the
military feature, and perhaps this is tbe
reason why the outdoor celebration of
University Day partook so largely of a
military character. About 500 of tbe
students of the university make np the
university battalion. This battalion
paraded around the grand court of the
exposition in the morning of their day,
and had a grand drill and sham battle
on the recreation grounds in the after
noon. Early in the evening there was a
university banquet and later on a grand
display of Pain's fireworks, with uni
versity features.
The same week also included a Gran
gers' Congress. This congress held the
attention of a great many people in
Festival Hall during four sittings, two
each on Friday, April 18, and on Satur
day, April 14. The exercises have con
sisted of addresses, literary exercises
and music, with discussions of subjects
particularly interesting to patrons of
husbandry. This congress has elicited
more attention from people outside of
ban Francisco than any other gathering
thus far held in connection with the ex
position. The people of California art
growing more and more to like to think
of themselves as a great agricultural
state. Their gold and their fruits an
better advertised than is their agricul
ture, and they seem to have seised upon
this exposition as a means of emphasis
ing to the world their prowess in this
regard.
The past week has been one of partic
ular interest also to music lovers. Ever
since the arrival of the Bousa Concert
Band there has been more less friendly
rivalry between that organisation,
which plays on a music pavilion out of
doors, and the Vienna Prater orchestra,
which plays afternoon and evening con
certs in Franz Joseph hall. In the hall
the audience sit around tables and drink
and smoke as they see fit, yet tbe Soma
Band has more than held its own in pop.
larity by virtue of the great excellence
of its music. There has been great
desire, however on the part of the music
lovers of San Francisco to hear these
two musical organizations play in uni
son, and on Tuesday evening, April 10,
this desire was realized. On that occas
ion there was given in Franz Joseph
hall tbe grandest concert ever heard in
Ban Francisco. The Sotua Band play'
three numbers of Mr. Sanaa's soleo -J
and the Prater Orchestra played " 'wm',
its best pieces. Tbe fluegeJV -nr '

On Friday, April 14, there began, also

sand singers, representing the Gorman
singing societies in aad about San Fran
cisco, took part. This was the largest
gathering of the kind ever seen on
the Paciflo Coast and has been hailed on
every hand as another one of the many
grand events which have been rendered
possible by tbe exposition. There are
