SOME inter esting details on the in
crease in titles of nobility in France
inCe the commencement Of the present
century are given in work on "Feudal
Customs" by Count dHaner, Steen-
huge, recently published. Napoleon l.
created Princes. 50 Dukes. 3SS Counts,
and 900 Barons; the restoration added
II Princes. 20 Dukes, 20 Marquises, 6S
Counts 81 Vis-countS, 215 Barons, and
conferred 7S5 titles of simple nobility;
the Monarchy ofJuly contributed three
Dukes, 10. Counts, II Viscounts, and
80 Barons. Lastly Napoleon III.
created II Dukes, 10 Counts and Wis
counts, II Barons, and authorized the
prefix of the word de to the names Of
SOS families. Adding to the above a
certain number of titles and particles
de not made public, which the author
estimates at about 800, il may be said
that since the first revolution more
than three thousand titles of nobility
have been created. This proves that
in spite of the more and more demo-
cratic nature Of French Institutions it is
in the nature of the people to seek for
honorary DISTINCTIONS

They lived extensively at a leading

Advice to Professional Men.

To professional men, men Of busl-
ness, and, indeed, all who are engaged
in pursuits requiring more or less severe
mental work, coupled with more or less
confinement, exercise is, of course, the
oOnditio sine qua non of the recreation to
be recommended. The fact is so obvi-
Gus (says writer in the Nineteenth Cen
tvy) that [ need not dwell upon it fur
Their than to make one remark. This
is to warn all such persons that feelings
are no safe guide as to the amount of
muscular exercise that is requisite for
maintaining full and sustained health.
BY habitual neglect of sufficient exer-
else, the system may, and does accom-
modate itself to such neglect; so that
not only may the desire for exercise
cease to be fair measure of its need,
but positive exhaustion may attend
much less amount of exercise than is
necessary to long continuance of sound
health. However strong and well,
therefore, man may feel notwith-
standing his neglect of exercise, he
ought to remember that he is playing
most dangerous game, and that SOON
er or later his sin will find him out
either in the form of dyspepsia, liver,
kidney or other disease, which so sure
ly creep upon the offender against ma
lures laws of health. According to DIR.
Parkes the amount of exercise that
healthy man ought to take without IA
tigue is at the least that which is re-
quired for raising $50 foot tons per
diem. This, In mere walking. would,
in the case of man of ordinary
weight, be represented by walk of be-
tween eight and nine miles along level
ground, or one mile up tolerably steep
hill: but it is desirable that the requi-
site amount of exercise should be OBJ
tanned without throwing all the work
upon one set of muscles. For this rea-
son walking ought to be varied with
rowing, riding, active games, and,
where practicable hunting or shooting,
which, to those who are fond of sport,
constitute the most perfect form of re-
creative exercise.-ScientiJfc american.

THE GARDNER GIN.
Toledo Mans Deadly Invention ADOPT
ed by the English Government.
Cleveland Herald

Some time ago Capt. William Gard
ner Of Toledo invented remarkable
gun. which was claimed to be the most
ingenious and deadly instrument known
to modern warfare. 1t received marked
attention from the leading officers 6
our army and navy, and Mr.. Gardner
was complimented on all sides at his
success. Since that time Capt. Gardner
has made some great Improvements
upon his original invention. and Cleve-
land company was organized to purchase
his patents for the improvements and
secure the right to manufacture the gun
in all foreign countries. For over a
year this company has had its agents
abroad, endeavoring to induce the Eng
llsh, French and other governments to
examine the gun, and if it proved to be
all Its friends claimed for it, to adopt it
and put it at once into practical use
with their armies. The English Gov
eminent more than year ago appoint
ed commission of scientific experts to
examine this gun, and on various occa-
sions the commission and some of the
m 9st accomplished military men in
Great Britain have been present at
various trials to test its qualities. The
gun proved equal to every demand
made upon it, and on Monday tele-
gram was received from London saying
that the English Government had APP
proved the gun, and would adopt it for
use in their army. The gun is light,
can be handled by two or three men on
the field, can be carried in the arms of
two men, can be made with double or
single barrels. and made to fire with
deadly precision three hundred shots a
minute. Wherever three men can 20
they can carry this gun and work it in
the field. Hence its vast superiority to
all guns that require horses and heavy
carriages to transport. The adoption
of the gun by Great Britain is the
highest compliment that could be paid
to the inventor, and this action of the
English Government will probably be
rapidly followed by the leading nations
of Europe. There is no doubt that the
gun is one of the most deadly weapons
ever known in the history of the world.
