The lecture before the Inland League last evening by Dr. Carrosv was well attended, and his subject, "Medicine Among the Chinese," was exceedingly interesting. He assumed control of one of the hos- pitals at Canton in 1376, and re- mained there eight years. This hos- pital receives about 40,000 patients. This experience enabled him to study thoroughly the habits and cus- toms of this curious people which formed more the basis of Iis talk than his own personal experience. He began by saying that pure sci- enceis unknown among the Chinese. Disease is there attributed to the anger of the gods or the enmity of some departed spirit. Recourse is always made to the gods, when sick, but they also use much medicine, and their materia medica is exten- sive, containing thousands of drugs. Rhubarb and gingseng enter into every prescription, He showed how difficult the early practice of medi- cine was among them, owing to their superstition. A physician had to guarantee that the patient would get well, which of necessity limited the practice, especially surgery. Post- mortems are not allowed among them. They have no idea as to the difference in the arterial and venous systems. They call the heart the "prince of the body," and think' the power of thought lies there. The soul is in the liver, and the bony frame-work in one longitudinal half of the body is all one b«ne. The examination of the pulse in dift- ent parts of the body constitutes t: main physical examination of a Cin nese doctor. A beautiful illustration or the doctrine of 'similia similibus curan- tur" was exemplified in their meth- od of "setting the brain.'' The speaker closed by saying that his remarks applied to the people in southern China, and not to the north, where the dialect and cus- toms are no doubt quite different. A couple of fine selections were rendered by Mrs. Clement and Mr. George. The junior laws will have their last quiz in Pleading and Practice this week. Unity Club Meeting. The lecture given by Rev. Caro- line J. Bartlett, of Kalamazoo, last night in the Unity Club series was most interesting and enjoyable. The lecturer possesses a fine presence and a pleasing personality which added greatly to the interest of the lecture. She conducted the audience on a pleasant pilgrimage to the homes of George Eliot and Shakespeare. Folishill and the many places and things of interest there and there- abouts, were charmingly described. She gave some interesting anecdotes and reminiscences connected with; her journey. Stratford -on-Avon was most graphically described, especially the homes of Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway, the Holy Trinity church, etc. In conclusion the lecturer re- cited Shakespeare's poem, "Across the Fields to Anne" in an appreci- able and pleasing manner.

Meet and Settle a Question that Has Agitatedthe Class for Several Days. The senior law meeting was largely attended last evening, but the class only remained in session a few minutes. When President Jefferis stated the object of the meeting, a motion was made and almost unani- mously carried that all reference to the matter before the meeting be expunged from the secretary's book. Another resolution was offered and carried that the class endorse Messrs. _H__E __ ADE Howell and Nelson as their repre- when you want theLatest Metropolitan Styles of $2, $3, $4 or $5 Shoes at 50c to $1 a pair less sentatives in the coming oratorical than Ann Arbor prices, send for catalogue to contest.

The method he employs is to preface each num- ber of a carefully-selected piano- forte programme with a brief verbal , analysis, calling attention to its origin, form, salient characteristics, C 1 and descriptive or emotional signifi- cance. The result attained is, while giving to music students and ama- teurs information and sugestions off value to them from an educational standpoint, at the same time to MEIRCHANT render each composition intelligible and consequently enjoyable to every listener, even to those who have not TAILOR the least technical training in the art.
