The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, by depriving them OF
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with
pectoral disease should be supported by every
assurance of cure, not alarmed by the
gloomy, foreboding countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians
theorize as they will, We have mass of evil

A French Rcnl,an ce |

Eleven years ago q young Frenchman, !,
Gilbert bv name, and q very ardent Re
publican. fell in love with the daughter
of an Imperialist, and as the fathelof the
girl refused his consent to the marriage
the young couple determined to commit
suicide. They repaired to small town
near Paris, and Gilbert, after shooting
his betrothed, attempted to blow his own
brains out. In neither case did the wounds
prove mortal, and the war breaking
out soon afterward, Gilbert was not pros
ecuted, as he had left Paris, to serve in
the Army of the Loire. He returned to
Paris at the outbreak of the Commune,
served in the National Gaurd, was made
prisoner when the Versailles troops en-
tered the city, and transported to New
Caledonia. During his absence his be-
trothed had been induced by her father
to marry wealthy merchant, and she is
now the mother Of q numerous family,
her husband having had no suspicion Of
the antecedent events. Gilbert was IN
.cIuded in, the amnesty granted q few
months ago, and he returned to Paris the
other day only to be arrested on the charge
of attempted homicide. It appears how
ever, that the trial will not be brought to
an issue, the public prosecutor being of
opinion. that the proceedings cannot be
carried on without putting into the wit
ness-box the lady whom Gilbert attempt
ed to kill. To do this would be to blast
her character, and perhaps to bring about
her separation from her husband, and SO
the Minister Of Justice has authorized the
public prosecutor to desist from further
proceedings. s6i 81 aoigssy Sigoae .

A Teacher OF Pocket-Picking.


Twenty years ago Chester established
a school in London, dedicated to the
devotees of st. Nicholas, and he speedily
obtained many pupils The most well
known and skillful pickpockets, who
have paid the penalty Of being caught,
and those whoswere cleaver enough to
evade the clutches Of the myrmidons of
the law, have all been moulded according
to the Chesterian method And when It
is stated that in twenty years Chester
has been able to alfinss fortune Of So
600 pounds sterling, the great Importance
and efficacy Of his lessons will be thor
oughly appreciated. His pupils, on leay-
ing his institution, were formed into
bands Of ten,s under the guidance Of a
fschoolmaster, and it was under. the
egis of this ever -watchful guardian that
they overran the earth. = Two thirds, of
the profits" were faithfully and punc-
tually paid to. the illustfiol,s professor.
Chester -demeaned himself but twice in
his career by working personally; it
was at PARIS, during the last two exhibi-
tions. In 1878 he was arrested and con-
demned to six months imprisonment;
and he was, moreover, prohibited from
ever entering France again. He has
since disposed of the goodwill of his
business" to two of his best pupils and
retired to Birmingham, where he has a
great deal Of property Having some
very urgent affairs to settle in Paris, he
applied, a few days ago, for permission
to pass week in the Capitol, which has
been duly accorded him. But as it was
deemed unadvisable to allow a man of
his capacity to roam about the city with
out let or 1hindrance, two police agents
have been told off to act as an escort of
surveillance Chester is IS years old

Prolonged Stooping-Over Work.

The London Lancet calls attention to
the danger incurred in the case of young
girls by prolonged stooping-over work
and crossing of the legs. DIR. Malherbe,
with view Of obviating these evils, has
invented q plan which consists of fixing
to the edge of IN ordinary table sort Of
cushion, on which the work can be easily
fastened or spread out, as on the knee.
A framework Of the simplist description
admits of the raising or lowering of this
cushion, 80 that work may be done sit
ting or standing, but in either case the
vertebral, column is maintained per-
fectly straight, while the facility of
changeof position greatly lessons fatigue.
To test the invention, DR.. Malherbe in

Nantes, and with good effect on two pu-
pills, who had tendency TO malforma-

The Earth's Day Increasing.

In recent lecture on /" Eclipse Prob
lems," Prof. Chas. A. Young, oi Prince
ton, said, with reference to the observed
increase in the rapidity OF the moons
motion, that the discovery led at first to
the opinion that the moons orbit was
growing shorter and that ultimately the
moon would come down upon us, More
accurate calculation, however, shows that
there is no danger of SO disastrous q re-
suit. The moon is not coming nearer,
but our day is growing longer, owing to
the friction of the tides upon the earth's
surface. The tides oct like o break, and

An EMPRESS Life.

Madame de Remusat, in her Memoirs
just published, introduces us to the inner
life of Napoleon's court. She shows us
Josephine, Napoleon's first wife, as she
was, not as biographers have sketched
her. No girl need be under the illusion
that the Empress life is to be coveted.
Josephine knew little happiness in her
lofty station, for she lived not for its du-
ties, but for its pleasures. The routine
of court life was monotonous and weari-
some, and her personal life was frivolous
and far from being pure. The Memoirs
says;
"She never opened book, she never
took up pen, she never worked scarcely
at ALL
Though without literary tastes, she
was extravagantly fond of dress and dis
play. "She rose at nine o'clock. Dress
ing was long process, and a portion of
1t was devoted to minute personal en-
bellishments, including paint She
changed every article of her attire three
times day, and never wore any but
new stockings. It would be impossible
to name the sums she spent on clothes
of every kind. In every fashionable
shop Of Paris there was always some
thing being made for her"
Her charm was her winning manners
and amiable disposition. ssBut she could
never conform in her own manner of life
to order or to etiquette" or keep within
the limits of her purse. Her personal
allowance was hundred and twenty
thousand dollars year, but she was per-
petually running in debt, and incurring
sharpe rebukes from the Emperor for
her extravaganza.
Wendell Phillips we'll remarks in one
of his lectures that '.no man or woman
is truly great for whose private life vor
have to make some allowance.
