They* only remembered her as the Imp end scapegoat of the village, who played on the rocks all day long with bare feet, and they resented her grown up fashlonabllity. She could not help realizing that she war better dressed, knew more of the world and was In many ways a hundred years ahead of Lindenthorpe. Then, again. Mr. Silas Attenborough. who always did the right thing, and whose actions, accordingly, were viewed with an Indulgent eye. had teemed In danger of doing the wrong thing.

Petersburg Is the participation of large numbers of factory workingmen In the demonstrations led by college stadenU. states the New York Commercial Advertiser. The despatches from Bt.

The movement which began In tho seventies by "going among the people" for purposes of peaceful aganda, and which culminated killing of Alexander II. In 1M1. was almost exclusively a crusade of cultured

young men and women.

The educated revolutionists started out upon the theory advocated by Nicolai Chernyshevaki. the leading Russian critic and economist of the sixties, that the better classes owed their superior position to the labor and sufferings of the masses, and that It was their moral duty to nay the debt by working for the economBxl and Intellectual elevation of tho peasantry, Accordingly, the early phas^g. of Nihilism—a name, by the way, which Is seldom applied to the Russian revolutionists Jn their o—n country— were'of a purely educational nature. The first secret organisation to which the present movement Is directly traced and of which Prince Kropotkin, the scientist and anarchist, now lec-

turing In this country, was an active .

member, was started by n man named Chalkovakl. The Cbalkovtz. or Chalkovists. originally confined themselves to the spreading of literature allowed by the censor and delivering lectures to working people. Prince Kropotkin and others were arrested. The movement spread. Hundreds of educated people learned to speak the diathe common people, and putting peasant garb went to teach the

Last year two cases of lockjaw In this city were due to abrasions on the head, caused by diving in shallow water. The diver in each case struck his head against slmethlng sharp on the river bottom, and the bacillus In the mud entered through tbe cut, causing lockjaw within a few boors.

In warm climates the disease Is more common than In colder localities, not because the germ revels In heat, but because the feet arc less heavily shod In warm countries and so are more liable to Injury. For tho same reason In the south, more Negroes than Caucasians have lockjaw. The Negro makes a practice 4rf going barefoot and bis feet are frequently scratched or-cut.

Another New York doctor tells of several cases of lockjaw which be has treated, while at his summer home, and which hare been caused by the introduction of ths tetanus bacillus through wounds mads by the horns of

catfish.

"I have known of tetanus poisoning from cuts made by fish fins and from lobster claws and from oyster or clam ■hell." said the doctor to a Sun reporter. "and I'd advise any one to sack a wound like that vtgoroualy. the Instant It Is made. The poison lint ordinarily on tbe fish or the shell, but It la on the dirty hands, and a fisherman la pretty likely to have dirty hands and to get occasional scratches in handling fish."

Thorough cauterization of the wound Is necessary, and.

The school systems of the whole world are likely to be revolutionized by certain Investigations which have been mr.de recently In Chicago, writes Edward Marshall in Frank Leslie's Popular Magazine. Seven thousand school children have been examined and experimented with as

of the i

chemicals In a school laboratory. Three facts of tremendous Interest to every father and to every mother who have intelligence enough to appreciate the high privilege of parentage have been discovered. First. It has been found that quite i much depends upon physical devel- / opment as upon the mental callbreL*#^ school children. In fact, the investigation shows that the two are almost co-ordinate. Admitting, as In every other generalization, that there are many exceptions to the rule. H has been proved that the strong child and the big child Is the bright child in

school

Secondly, It has been found that a serious difference exists between girls and boys In mental capacity. This Is so great that It may lead eventually to the abandonment of the education

of the two sexes In common.

Thirdly. Professor Lombroso's theory that the perfect man physically is more likely to ha the perfect man morally than is the man who Is not perfect has been substantiated. The prize-fighter and the professional athlete will Immediately come to mind In refutation of two of these statements—that concerning dependence of mental development upon physical development and the dependence of moral development upon physical development and symmetry. Nevertheless, careful study of men of this class will show that they are not perfect physically; that IL.that they are not normal. It win* show that In nine cases out of 10. and. Indeed, in 99 cases ont of a hundred, the physical development of such persons Is abnormal. Perfection, to the mind of the scientist, means absolute normality. Certain qualities of the body of the prize-fighter have been developed at the expense of certain other qualities. There are certain things about their physical make-up ♦hlch are as distinctly below the average as tbe muscles with which they fight and for whleh they especially train are above tbe average. If James Corbett or Robert Fitzsimmons, the pugilists, were put through tbe line tests which the 7000 Chicago school Vhildren have undergone, their average would. In all human probability. be found to be very low. The fact that the college athlete Is generally nut a particularly good student by no means disproves the results obtained by the Chicago investigators. That he is a notable athletic of Itself
