COMPARATIVE HEALTH OF CITIES

1t is alleged that since 1859, the ave-
rage duration Of life in Paris has
increased one and one-half years. The
mean mortality is now placed at 20 to
the 1000 against q to the 1000 in New
York City. This startling discrepancy
between the relative healths of the two
cities is food for reflection. New York
has water immeasurably better than the
French capital, and geographically con-
sidered is better adapted to secure a
perfect system of drainage than would
seem possible at Paris, has better air and
sunlight and on the whole ought to be
the healthiest Of the two. Why then the
difference? Simply owing to the superior
sanitary arrangement that exists in
Paris. That this is the whole secret of
the matter is shown by the fact that
since 1859, when the comprehensive sys-
tenn of Improvements inaugurated
by the late Emperor was instituted, the
decrease in the average mortality of the
city has been apparent. Baron Hauss-
man, who had charge of the city under
Napoleon III, was a man of extraordi-
and judgment. Under his direction the
the city of Paris was transformed, streets
were widened and improved, regardless of

imperative requirements of sanitary
science were kept always most distinct
lively in view. The sewers of Paris are
the wonders of the traveller and constitute
one of the most interesting features of
that city. Baron Haussman's theory
was to render the city as nearly water
proof as possible, to let the sun and air
into every part and to keep the streets
regularly and forever clean. Since this has
been the practice Paris has become one
of the healthiest, as she is one of the
pleasantest of cities, and the Paris of the
United States if desirous of emulating
her in all things must take heed of her
example in this.

Love at first sight in church, with
Scriptural commentary, is illustrated in
the Albany Argus One Sunday beau
tiful young man happened to have seat
in a pew adjoining one in which a lovely
young lady was sitting. He was seized
with a violent passion for the fair stran-
ger, and resolved to propose to her then
and there. So he handed her Bible
with pin stuck in the following text:
"And now beseech thee, lady, not as
though | wrote new commandment
unto thee, but that which we had from
the beginning, that we love one another"
lI John, 81 The lady returned the
book pointing to Ruth, ii, 10: "Then she
fell on her face, and bowed herself to the
ground, and said unto him, Why have
found grace in thine eyes, that thou
shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing
| am stranger?' He handed it back
with his fingers on III John, IS, IA: "I
had many things to write, but | will not
with ink and pen write unto thee. But
| trust that shall shortly see thee, and
we shall speak face to face" AS the re-
suit of the interview it is said that mar
riage will take place in a month or two.

The Assize Court at Perugia has just
condemned to death a man named Thos.
Longari, who not only murdered his
brother, but also ate him. The two
brothers, Thomas and Sebastian Longari,
had been on bad terms for long time,
and on Good Friday last Thomas waited
for his brother as he returned from mass,
and coming up behind him in seques-
tered spot knocked him down with a
blow from an AK, and then chopped his
head off. Having done this, he belabored
the body with his kn fe, took out the
heart, lungs and other organs, and placed
them upon one side with the head, while
he cut up the rest of the body in small
pieces and concealed it in ravine.
Taking the head and viscera home with
him, he pulled out the teeth and eyes
from the head, while the intestines he
fried and gave to his wife and children to
eat. The other pieces of the body were
found soon afterward, and the crime was
traced home to him, but when con-
fronted with the remains he was 50 Gym
ical in his attitude that some one re-
marked, 81 believe he would eat macaroni
upon them," little thinking what had
really happened. When his house was
searched his wife at once guessed what a
horrible meal she had eaten, and her hus-
band frankly told the police that it was
so, and declared that he would do the
same thing over again if he had the
chance.

The Leadville Eel pse says: Custer
City, Idaho, has followed the example of
LeadvilIe, and refuses to allow Cinnamon
in her midst. Our city, young though it
is, has already accomplished marvellous
part in the work of developing the great
West. 1t has poured out the millions of
its exhaustless wealth, revived the droop-
ing industries of State which is destined
to play an important part in the coming
years of our countrys history and called
it from despair to high purpose. This
has been great work, but Leadville can
point with pride to one even greater.
She has, in refusing to admit Cinnamon,
set an example which, if followed by the
other great cities of the land, will soon
solve the most vexed and most serious
problem of the hour.

LONDON STREET PAvEMENTs.

The asphaltum pavements, which were
quite extensively laid down in London
five or six years ago, after the partial
success with which they were received in
Parisand elsewhere on the Continent of
Europe, have mostly been taken up, and
experiments are making with wooden
pavements in their places. A considera-
bic portion of the Strand is now laid in
this wooden pavement, and some of the
suburban streets, formerly macadamized,
are being laid with the same material.
These wooden pavements are similar to
those in Use in this country, but, as are
done most things in England, are much
more thoroughly put down. A bed of
the asphaltum is first laid on a sub-bed
of gravel, on which the kyanizcd blocks
of hard-seasoned wood are placed. After
thes9 are firmly fixed in place coal tar
is poured into all the crevices.
so that when travel is admitted over it
the surface is hard, firm, and as nearly
waterproof as it is practicable to make
streets. For two years that it has been
in use about the vicinity of Charing
Gross it has continued to give satisfac-
ton, and is about as hard and firm as
when first laid. 1t should be remem-
bered, however, that the severity of
the English winter climate is greatly less
than here, and that much of the injury
to our pavements even when we'll laid
and of good material is done by the up
heaval of frost and the freezing and
thawing incident to the changing of our
temperature, which makes it almost an
impossible thing to count on apermanent
remaining inplace when once laid down.
Still the English experiments and meth
ods of laying are worthy of consideration.

THE MISSING LINK

Whether the gorilla from the west coast
OF Africa now lodged at the Crystal Pal
ace at Sydenham can show the straw
berry mark of the long lost brother on
his arm or otherwise, he certainly comes
up much nearer to the missing link of the
Darwinian chain than the orang-outang
monkey or chimpanzee. The orang-outang
has arms of length such as enables him
to reach the ground with but slight stoop,
while those of the gorilla vary little from
the ordinary proportions of a long limbed
man. The hand and fingers with the
thumb are shorter and smaller than those
Of the chimpanzee and orang-outang and
approach closely those of a human being,
as do also the small and delicately formed
ears. These are strikingly dissimilar
from those Of the leathery appendages Of
the orang-outang. The brow is well
formed and the brown eyes filled with
expression that seems to bespeak intelli-
gence. In profile the face seems that of
young Guinea negro, and black as
Erebus; but when viewed in front the
human expression is lost. The. nose is
wanting, and in its place appear the fiat,
open nostrils, the long and heavy jaws
and the enormous mouth, which bespeak
the animal rather than the man. The
specimen at Sydenham is young and only
some two feet in height, but at maturity
should attain to proportion of some
four and half to five feet It's growth
and characteristics will be watched with
