This is one of the reasons why the United States made no mistake when it struck Cleveland down, Globe Democrat. Govehnoii Thateb should now issue the Thanksgiving proclamation. The papers from Iowa report that Governor Larrabee, of that state, coppied Grover's Thanksgiving proclamation just as soon as he heard the news from Kcw York. Hepcbilicaji majorities wire given on Tuesday by the Territories of Dakota, Washington and Montana. This fact alone prove? that they possess sufficient intelligence, public spirit and patriotism to entitle them to Statehood, The repub lican Fifty-first Congress will see that jus tice be done them. Exolisiimex hold up their hands in holy horror at the corruption of voters by whibh Cleveland was beaten. Cor ruption! Why, Johnny Bull just think of the money the democrats wasted in Nebraska alone, to say nothing of the other states. Corruption! Well. The English party had a little to do with the corruption business according to the latest bulletins Lincoln Journal. Gkover Cleveland is the fourth president who failed cf re-election when the standard bearer of his party. The other three were John Adams, John Quincy Adams and Martin Van Burt-n.

Texas, the explanation of which implies that some ghosts are not only of a prac tical turn of mind, but also philanthropic. The ghost of commerce, so to speak has lost credit on account of his persistent unpracticality. In revisiting the pair glimpses of the moon, he apicars to have no more definite object than the terrify ing of people who do not know him, who did not know him when he was alive, and who had no ambition to mike his spectral acquaintance.

We there u a ligfithooje which tn been j lute light-keeper has suffered mysterious nocturnal bombardments with shingle nails of all things in the world alternat ed with oyster shells and brickbats. All attempts to ascertain the source of this bombardment having failed completely, the supernatural lm been fallen back upon, and a very picturesque little story is brought forward to account for the mysterious occuranc-?. It is the seafaring residents of this jHjiiit who arc responsible for the theory, which is us follows : The anicent mari nemsiiy that during the v.ar the afore said light, was put out by a lightkeeper who was in league with a gang of wreckers, and that some vessel was thus misled and wrecked, and the crew all drowned. Now it is supposed to be the spirits of the drowned sailors that have liecn manifesting, through thu purely muudane medium of shingle nails, oyster shells and brickbats, their disapproval of the abolition of beacon, whose former extinctions caused their untimely demise. There is, it must be admitted, a certain straightforward intelligibility about this hypothesis, which speaks volumes for the estimation in which the 1'oiut Isabel mariners hold the good sense of their deceased comrades. No doubt it would have been still more to the purpose if the spooks had bombarded the premises of the lighthouse board which ordered the Point Isabel light to be discontinued, but then it will not do to expect too much from the ghosts of simple sailormen who, after all, if the theory is correct, have found the way to express their sentiments plainly chough.

The tree '.f lifo bearing twelve manner f fruits seems to have existence outside i tho vision of St. John, no less than the story of the deluge, which is to be met with outside the Scripture record. On this subject a writer of a series of papers on "Asiatic Svnibolisni," recently pub I i shed in The Indian Antiquary, remarks that "the tree of life, bearing twelve manner of traits, yielding its fruit every month," described by John in the Revela tion, has its counterpart in ' Eastern art. On Persian carpets is seen the figure of a tree with twelve leaves, or sometimes twelve- flowers or fruits. Yarkand car ets bear the same representation, but in a more cJcntlon&l form- Publie Opin ion. - Kncrgy, Force and Vigor. There Is a difference between energy. force and vigor.

Children havo not only a right to the wisest edueat ion, hut they have a right to be such by birth and heredity that they can be educated to so mo purpose. It is astounding, as one walks through a low neighborhood, to sco what a vast number of beads of a truly Inferior sort are be gotten. Or if you will ride with me up a back country road you shall find an im mense preponderance of badly shaped faces and peaked or pinched brain caps. There are neighborhoods where this is not so. Largo heads, well shapen. and handsomo features are the rule. What makes the difference? Biology will tell you tiiat the thoughts of parents and their emotions in other words, their habits and habitual feelings shape tha whild. Not only do sudden frights go to mark the unborn, but the every day thoughts and ways of living do the sam2. Responsibility runs far back, and somo day tho matter will get a full and popular discussion. Physicians of Intelligence understand it. Every one should be made to understand it. Every child has a moral right to enter life under at least fa vorable circumstances. OVEUWOUKED AND UXDEJIFED. Overworked and underfed children are far more common than is supposed. And this occurs in families above the average in this country more often than in those under the average. I do not believe one half the damage is now being dona by overworking bodies that is done by over working brains. The factory for children under 12 is not 60 dangerous as the school house. I am now speaking of the echool house for young children with good brains and fine nerves that are capable o f very large attainments. No child should ever be compelled to undertake book learning before It is 6 or 7 years of ago. and until 12 ouo hour at a tune is all it should bo allowed to study. Sot your boy down to an Interesting book, a story, or whatever ho enjoys. Let him read it for thrco hours, and then call him off. You may now diagnoso him. He is dazed as he walks. lie is very likely irritable with other children. Ex amine his tongue, and you will find his digestion is impaired- Pnt your hand on his head; it is hot. His eyes aro full, and touched with inflammation. Sitting for a long time, he has grown weak in his back, and is leaning in his shoulders. The boy every day is tired and unstrung. If this is a habit, or if he is r.ccustomed to five hours in school, with possibly study and reading out of sclioof, he is already an Invalid be is on the road to a breakdown- Mark yon, I da not say he will become diseased; he is diseased. In steau Ca lbur built up to hlj best estate physically, ho is being pulled down. And this Is true of the majority of our schol arly boys and girls. Almos; at the be ginning of life they are staftpd on inva Udism. IltREGtXAIt IIAUITS OP EATISO. But I said they are underfed. So they are, the children of our best families; they are overstuffed and underfed. They be .'in life almost at once on cookies and neat and other foods that do not nourish them at all, and servo only to destroy tho digestive organs. They eat at all times and whatever they chooso, and aro thereby underfed even when gorged. It Is well known that only that food which is assim ilated and used ly the blood becomes nutrient or nourishing: mutter. 1 Ik may have far too little of this v.'.. m -ju- stantly eating.

Wo shall shortly conio to see that our educating process needs safeguards for tho children instructed to it. It will be well when we come to Her bert Spencer's idea that real education shows "in what way to treat the body; in what way to treat the mind; in what way to manage our affairs; in what way to utilize all tho sources of happiness which nature supplies; how to use all our facul ties to the greatest advantage to our solves and to others; how to live com pletely. " In all these respects the rights of children extend, and if the state . is right in Interfering at all to secure com mon education it is obligated to interfere to tho extent that will secure for the child all that a true education involves. Does our present system cover the case, or even pretend or purpose to cover It? Take, for instance, the one item, "How to treat the body." Is it not a fact that 99 otit of 100 chddren are left to find out whatever they do find out about the body and how to use it by stumbling upon facts through bitter experience of disease and pain? And when, after a wretched and miserable career, they die, what is done to make another generation wiser than the last? M. Maurice, M. D., in Globe Democrat. nis First Nlrht Out.

"MUM Coffins" for the Trade Phane of the Undertaker' Iluttloewi. On a cross town street, uot far from where Seventh avenue begins, is an under taking establishment, 'lo be sure there is nothing wonderful about this fact, nor is there anything particularly noticeable or out of the way to the averago man who chances piist, about tho place. For the office is nothing more than the basement of a dwelling house converted into a store, the brick work torn away and a big plate glass window replaced in Its stead, a trans formation that may be seen any time on Fifth avenue or other thoroughfares now turned into business stroets. But there was a cardboard sign in the window of of tho shop that, when I noticed .it, ap peared very unusual indeed. I read and re-read it about ten times, and then 1 placed my baud against tho glass to make sure that it was inside of the pane, for it struck me that, somo one might have been playing a practical joke on tho innocent undertaker. But, uo there was no de ception about it. Tho four corners of a square of white bristol board were pasted to the insido of the glass and on it in modest black letters was traced: "Misfit coffins. To the trade only." I am not naturally inquisitive, but I at once became curious enough to inquire what this notice meant, and aceordiugl y I opened the door and stepped In. In the rear of the store an elderly man with a smoothly shaven face, which, together with LL body, woa about as fat and as round as a billiard ball, was writing at a desk. He rose as I closed the door behind me and nodded a good day. "I haven't got any business to transact," said I, "but 1 would like to ask what is meant by misfit coffins?'' "Oh, that's easily explained," replied he, with a merry chuckle. "You see" here he produced a snufl box from his pocket, tapped it and took a huge pinch of the aromatic powder1 "you see, it's just this way: When un undertaker re ceives an order ( ! a funeral he goes around at once and t!;cs a measurement of the deceased. I t lien orders a casket from one of the large supply houses for very few undertakers themselves carry stock. If an elaborate casket is ordered, with silver mountings and an engraved plate, it will nut perhaps be ready until tho day of tho funeral. Then, when it is brought around it may bo found for the first time, and to the consternation of the undertaker, to be cither, say too narrow or too short. May be the body was lengthened out, as they pccasionally do after death, or, perhaps, it was enlarged- Again, the undertaker, or a careless assistant, may have mado a mistake in taking tho measure. Under such circumstances therois only one thing to bo done, and that is to order a new casket. The undertaker must, of course, suffer for his own blunder, and the manu facturer will not take back tho first coffin. This leaves it upon. hi,s hands, and, not wishing to carry it and take his chances of being able to use it at some future time, ho comes to mo and I pu chase it at a fair figure, ! "For instanf-3, that casket you see standing at the extreme end of tlo ca:-c there is ooo J bought a, fy (lays, ago. It Is ft very f.xpensly.e ouo of polished rose wood.' The engraving on the plate I have burnished down, so that It cau le lettered again. Now, that co'Iiu, considering what I gavo for it, I can sell for very much less than a manufacturer would char,";e, und by and bv some ono in tho tradewill want just such a one, an 1 he will naturaily come.to me to get it." - "IIow will io. know that you havo a casket of that description":!" "Beeauso I Issue- a monthly catalogue, with full descriptions of. stock on hand,' and if he i.i careful to keep this before him on h'13 desk he will be able to get a bargain more than once. I have just started bl this branch of tho business and at present have the field all to my self. "And now, sir, you know what a misfit coflin is. Call again." John Preston Beecher in New York News. Scheme to Get a Seat. A party of four one fat old lady, her unmarried daughter, her married daugh ter and tho latter's 3-year old son climbed into an uptown bound Broadway car in New York recently. They began staring at men in away calculated to make them pop up, surrender their seats and kick themselves on receiv ing no thanks. A simple minded young man with a smart new fall suit, sat close to where they stood and busiod himself looking after their welfare. He pointed out to the old lady and one daugh ter where two seats could be had in the forward part of the car by making some men squeeze up a little. The women did not thank him. The men glared at him and their lips moved - nimbly in silent swear. Then tho smart young man com pressed himself narrowly and so discov ered one seat, to which ho motioned the mother of the boy. Did she thank him and sit down? No. She stared at him in a stony fashion and then carefully lifted the boy into the seat so that he knelt at the window, ostensibly to look out at Broadway's stirring sights. .The boy's shoes were full of rich, black mud from the crossing. He had been put there to act a a petard on the young man. He wriggled about on his knees, and the grimy feet waved "perilously near tha smart fall suit of tho too thoughtful young man. In less than fifteen seconds the young man bolted. Ho fled to the front platform completely crushed. To a friend who met him there, looking like a suicide, he said: "I didn't mind being sworn at by the old chaps in front, who were- badly squeezed by that fat old wo man. I didn't even mind squeezing my self to let the mother and - the boy sit down. She could easily have carried him on her knee. But when she sprang that cold, heartless game on me and used those muddy boots to pry mo out of my seat, I began to weaken." .
