Fast Days i'm France.

A gentleman of the inquiring turn of mind has beon amusing himself with collecting statistics regarding the con- sumption of food by Parisians on fast days and days of abstinence. It appears that last Good Friday ''the Niobe of cities" managed to consume 2SO pounds of salmon, 11O, ,000 pounds of cod, 5000 pounds of skate, 10000 pounds of red herrings. 5000 pounds of shad, 5000, ,00O pounds of eggs, 6,37S pounds of butter. The allowance of fish for population of 2,OOO,OOO inhabitants is not very large though 10000 pounds of red her. rings will go long way, especially in producing thirst. Keepers of public houses, indeed, must be tempted to an irreverent parody of the coachman's $ wish that it were Derby day all the year round. They have certainty every req son to wish that the lasts of the church. if observed in this spirit, may be many and vigorously enforced by the civil authority. The amount of beefsteaks consumed on Good Friday is not stated It doubtless represented considerable amount of self-assertion on the part o1 ''liberals;" in the continental accepta. tion of the word, though many admi rers of Prince Napoleon were somewhat scandalized at the dinner-party once given by his Imperial highness on tha day. French clerical journals take gooG care to remind Prince Napoleon of his imprudence, to call it nothing worse a least once year.

Where do Robins go In Winter ?

Toward the middle or latter part of September. generally, the robin, which has heretofore been merry and jubilant in song, becomes silent and finally dls- appears. If the weather continues cold he remains away, but the first warm, bright day brings him and his com rades out in force. And "they make hay while the sun shines," by devour- ing all the worms and insects they can find, which leaves no time for anything but satisfied chirp now and then. The amount that a robin will eat in day is something remarkable; for it is esti- mated that he ingests more than forty one per cent. of worms Cor insects) more ttan bis 0Wn Ueight, besides gravel and water.
 But where does he secrete himself during the interval between his leaving and reappearing7 His favorjte resort is the thick growth of high brush in some low lands or swamp. Here he remains in very quiet state, seeking for W hat food he can find, and waiting for the warm days to come when he can Ill HIS onpoy md"' AHO OWo ol three notes that he utters are feeble and lonesome.

Canine Conscience.

"Hath dog conscience?" quoth the corporal. "I had had this dog for sev- eralyears, and had never, even in puppy hood, known him to steal. Neverthe- less, on one occasion he was very hun gry and in the room where was read ing and he was sitting, there was with. in easy reach a savory mutton chop. was greatly surprised to see him stealthily remove this chop and take it under the sofa. However l pretended not to observe what had occurred and waited to see what would happen next. For fully quarter of an hour this terrier remained under the sofa with out making a sound, but, doubtless, enduring an agony of contending feel ings.
 Eventually, however, conscience came off victorious, for emerging from his place of concealment. and carrying in his mouth the stolen chop, he came across the room and laid the tempting morsel at my feet. The moment he dropped the stolen property, he bolted again under the sofa, and from this re- treat no coaxing could charm him for several hours afterwards. Moreover, when during that time he was spoken to or patted, he always turned away his head, in a ludicrously conscience stricken manner. Altogether do not think it would be possible to imagine a more satisfactory exhibition of con- science by animal than this; for it must be remembered, as already stated, that the particular animal in question was never beaten in his ife.-Journ0l o1 IScieuce

A Lesson of Life.

In December, 1845, in the department of the Vosges, Xavier Thiriat, boy of ten, accompanied four young girls of about the same age to the church. They had to cross a-brook, over which was placed single loose plank. The boy crossed safely; the first girl who attempted it fell in. The boy jumped in and pulled her out. and then, walk ing in the water, guided each of the girls across. Some time was lost by this, and the party reached the church late. Xavier, ashamed of being late, did not go up to the stove, but kept behind. He reached home chilled, a dangerous disease followed, by which he was left @ complete cripple for life; his only mode of moving about was on his hands and kness, so completely were his legs paralyzed and distorted. Coming of very poor people, there was every prospect that Thiriat would be heavy charge to his family and a wretched burden to himself. Instead of this, he reached manhood bright, cheerful, and intelligent. Reading all the few books which be could lay hold of, he was soon the best educated man in his district, and rapidly acquired ex- tensive influence, which was always used for good. He induced the young people to read and to study. Some contributions to the local newspaper the Eeho des VOSges, attracted attention and made him known, the result of which was that further intellectual op- portunities were extended to him. He made himself good botanist, meteor ologist and geologist, instructed others in these branches, and procured the foundation of several local libraries. He could not, however, be satisfied without achieving his complete inde- pendence and earning his support. He obtained the position of manager of the telegraph at neighborlng town, was made secretary to the Mayor, be- came a favorite correspondent of sev- eral agricultural papers, and received the highest reward of the French Franklin Society"-its gold medal.
 All this was accomplished by native force of character and strong religious feeling, under circumstances not merely adverse, but at first sight absolutely hopeless. A horrible deformity, in- tense suffering, absence of instruc- tion, crushing poverty-all these disa- bilities were overcome unaided, and this ignorant and crippled lad made himself the light. intellectual and moral, of his whole district.

Steam Boating on the BOsphOrus.

A London newspaper correspondent writes; "I have in my time journeyed dinnerward on Christmas day in great many differ ent vehicles-in broughams, in omnibusses, in dog carts, in wagons, in V enetian gondola and in a Cana dian sleigh, in Hanson cab and in a compartment of the Metropolitan Dis trict Railway; but 1 do not remember to have ever yet availed myself of so queer conveyance as that which took me to Therapia on Christmas day. There was nothing abnormal, it is true, in the build of the steamer. There was nothing at which to be astonished at the Turkish name painted on her stern or the Turkish characters inscribed on her funnel, or the invocations to Allah in Arabic characters which decorated a kind of tea-tray on the tatfrail abafts The oddity of the vessel was comprised in the cargo which it carried. It was a human Noah's ark, and one of the very strangest kind that your imagination could conjure up. There was a hurri- cane deck covered with an awning, as on board the American river steamers and beneath that a main deck, three first and second class saloons, a couple of harems for Turkish lady travellers, and there were side cabins, holding from four to eight passengers each
 these last were not uncomfortably titt- ed with divans, on which you could curl up you legs, enjoy the universal cigarettes-the use of chibOuks and ndghiles is every day growing rarer at Constantinople-and revel in the pros pect of the beauties of the Bosphorus the cabin windows forming admirable picture frames, and providing you witt a continually recurring series of tab leaux seemingly freshly drawn from the sketch book of a David Roberts or Coste, a John Lewis or Car Haag. Ever and anon a discreet tapp. ing would be audible at the cabin door and then there would enter to you { gentleman in rags who sold lolipOps ol pieces of pie crust-the amount o1 pastry devoured between sunrise anC sunset by the Osmanlis is as astonish' ing as it is alarming-or a gentleman more than half naked who sold news

CONN,

too sophistical and dangerous for his correspondent to read until she could read it with him, and was ready to con- vict the citations of the ''tract writers" of bad faith on the strength of the counter citations of Dean Goode. This, of course, was in his salad days, when he was green in judgement, and thought Salisbury Cathedral monument of elegant soul crushing austerity; but years after he seriously maintained that the successful activity of the clergy promised nothing for the perma- hence or prosperity of the establish ment, unless the Church comprehen- ded the necessity of an alliance with Arnoldism because, "as we who know history know" the last fifty years be- fore the Reformation were full of just the same superficial activity and i'm provement, the proofs being,Ithat dur ing those years the fashion of found ing colleges of priests instead of mo- nasteries, came in, and that many chur- ches were built in Somersetshire.- FOrtnightly ReUie,C.

Charles KlngsIey's Constitution.

Kingsley's muscles and senses were far more vigorous than the rest of his constitutions: looking only to his looking only at his temperament, he was filter for monk. His brain, or his personality, as we may choose to phrase it, was steadily on the side of the robust and active element, but was never impervious to the other. Hence all who were really intimate with him
 were struck by the union of the most exquisite tenderness with manliness that often seemed aggressive. Hence, too, his personal production for mys- tical writers, even when he felt bound to protest against what he thought their demoralizing quietism. Hence, too, one is tempted to guess, an impulse to complete his conversion by renOunc- ing his love, an impulse which may have been the stronger because the sense of unwOrthiness, which is to be found in all true lovers. was very strong in him. It is hard not to suspect some personal animOsity in his repro bation of ofthedepreciation ofwedded love for himwas the onedamning sin ofwhich asceticism. Another consequence of Kingsley's constitution was extreme intellectual impatiece. The importu-
 nate muscular energy which made mental application in itself penance, became comparatively manageable by by the help of tobacco, which he learned to prize at Cambridge, though we find that when he had long been a hard d-working country parson he conld not work at writing when the weather nterfered with energetic exercise. But
 the exuberant vitality asserted in itself in another way-he threw himself read fly into cumulative attitude, and con- demned before he understood. After reading ten lines of Palmer on tht Church, he was sure that the book was

New York Street-Lamps i'm 1897 and
 1876,

HIt appears that in the seventeenth cen- tury, when the city of New York was but little more than a village, there was for long time no system of light ing the streets. On dark nights, each citizen who ventured out of doors was expected to provide himself with lan- tern; and at long intervals one might see lighted lamp hung in front of the door of some wealthy citizen.
 It was not until 1897 that the alder men were charged to enforce the duty, "that every seventh householder, in the dark time of the moon, cause a lantern and a candle to be hung out of his window on pole, the expense to be divided among the seven families"
 This was probably considered an ex- cellent way of street lighting at the time. But what a change would one of the aldermen of 1897 find, could he now follow on some moonless night the double line of gas lamps extending from theBattery to Fordham, a distance of fifteen miles! Who would not like to accompany him as he silently passed over the well paved way, once so wild and swampy, and to see his astonished gaze as the long lines of lighted lamps revealed tall fronts of stately marble stores and brown stone houses; and on through the beautiful Central Park and-still further, over we'll made roads out into the open country beyond it. yet still within the city's limits7 Dc you think that the ancient alderman would recognize in the great new city the quiet village that he once knew and loved 9-jSt. Nicholas.
