Another SIDE TO PARIS LIPE.-Many peo-
pie, particularly Americans, have so irration-
atan admiration of Paris that they forget or
fail to present, its many defects. Indeed,
Parisiaus are so accustomed to put the best
on the outside, and to hide the worst and the
dlsagreeable, that foreigner must live there
IA good while, and know them well in order to
find out the manifold faults and disadvantages
of the citizens and the city. 1t is decidedly
unhealthy, though one seldom hears of its un-
hcalthness. Consumption is very common,
albeit it might be supposed that in sunny
France, of which We hear so constantly, the
hideous disease is unknown. The climate of
the capital is far from good, and would never
have been called good but for the fact that it
is far less bad than London, with which it is
generally compared, notably by our country
men. Any climate might be immeasuraby
superior to the climate of London and yet be
execrable. Clear bright skies are popularly
presumed 10 be the prerogative of Paris but
1t rains there, on an average, one-thlrd of all
the days in the year. The winters, often Sc
we're, generally unpleasant and unwholesOme.
are very favorable to pulmonary troubles.
But u prolific source of consumption is be-
lieved to be bad air and want of artificial heat
The Parisians, in common with all the French,
have mortal dread of fresh air from open
doors and open windows. They are very
fond of sitting under the sky to smoke, to eat,
to drink, to talk but the moment they enter
a theatre, a house, a railway car they shut
every breath from the outside. They seem
to be irreconcilably hostile to ventilation.
Not long ago one of the Boulevard theatres
all the Paris theatres are very close and hot
introduced ventilating apparatus but its
patrons were so afraid of it that the manager
speedily removed it to recover his lost patron
age. The English and Americans find it eX-
tremely inconvenient to travel with the
French on account of their Uncompromising
opposition to oxygen. These are very rude
in their effort 10 prevent its introduction any
where, shutting windows that other persons
have opened, without a word of explanation
or apology. Their apartments are almost al
ways cold, and they suffer much from cold !;
but their frugality-often mistaken-is such
that they are unwilling to use sufficient fuel.
good fire in their own homes does not
make any outside show therefore, they sell
dom or mover have one. Americans who
have visited French families in winter must
remember their soOmfort from lack of suf-
fcient fire. Even families of ample means
economize in a niggardly way on fuel shiv-
ering all day, and going to bed very early at
night, to save wood or coal. Colds, coughs,
lung disorders, ending often in consumption,
are the result of their resolve to save few
francs. The Parsians and all the French,
not infrequently injure their health and sac
rfce their lives in order TO increase their in
come As a people they have very little
home comfort One reason that they are out
doors so much is that it is cheaper.

The Music OF THE SPHEREs.-Light comes
in undulations TO the eye, as tones of sound to
the ear. Must not light also sing? The low
est tone we can hear is made by l6,5 vibra-
tions of air per second the highest, so shrill
and "fne that nothing lives 'twixt it and ST.
lence," is 3S, 900 vibrations per second. Be-
tween these extremes lie IL Octaves c of the
G clef having 25s5 vibrations to the second,
and its octave above 5l74 Not that sound
vibrations cease at 3S, 900, but our organs are
not fitted to hear beyond those limitations If
our ears were delicate enough, we could hear
even up to the almost infinite vibrations of
light. Were our senses fine enough, we
could hear the separate keynote of every in
dividual star Stars differ in glory and in
power, aud so in the volume and pitch of
their song. Were our hearing sensitive
enough, we could hear not only the separate
key-notes, but the infinite swelling harmony
of these myriad stars of the sky, as they pour
their mighty tide of united anthems in the ear
of God.-Reo. II, W. Warren, ReereatiOns IN
Astronomy.

Parents do not realize how that home life
which magnifes the pleasures of the table,
whose special treats for the children habit
ually take the form of something to eat or
drink, is laying the foundations on which it
will be all too easy in later life to build the
superstructure of narcotism and drunkenness.
But the earlier child learns that there are
sweeter and higher satisfactions in the de-
lights of melody and color, in reading the
riddles of nature, in the fellowship of choice
books, than in the qualification of the animal
appetites, the sooner will he come into the
highest meaning of life, the less will be the
attractions of animal indulgence forever af-
terwards. Talks" in Good Company, Num-
Der one.
