liarity which marks the chief distinction

liarity which marks the chief distinction
between her and the English woman.
The latter is less passionate, but she is
also less practical. There is dreamy
sentimentality in her nature that easily
and frequently merges into religious
melancholy-a malady almost unknown
in France. From maidenhood to old
age her views of life areromantic. Even
after much misfortune and disappoint-
ment she rarely realizes things as they.
are Consequently she is not the help
mate in q material sense that the French
woman is. But the deficiency is abun-
dainty made up in other ways. 1t is the
exception when she loves, her children
more than her husband while the French
woman's affection for her offspring is
generally all-absorbing. The sentiment.
tality of the English woman is at once
her strength and her weakness. 1t is
her strength because it is intimately as
sociated with strong religious instinct
and reverence for moral principles which
color all her thought and direct her con-
duct. tbs her weakness, because it is
apt to make her rely too much upon
others, and to hope when she should

In one small leaf of the apparent
weed one may find twenty thousand
cradles side by side, and then turn it
over and find twenty thousand more on
the other side. What city! when you
remember the size.
These cradles have the head higher
than the foot, and each is protected by
four spines-like thorns. Then over
each one is stretched delicate trans
parent skin or cover, with a slit over the
head or pillow. In each cradle-says
Mr. Gosse-''les a polyp. with its knees
drawn up to its Chin When one
moves. he pushes open the slit over the
pillow and slowly sticks out his head.

Brain Stimulation.

The anatomist is familiar with the fact
that there are two large nerves of sensa-
ton known as the "fifth pair,' which
are distributed to the top of the head
and face and to the mucous membrane
of the mouth, nose and eyes. These
nerves. are closely connected with the
nerves which control the action of the
heart and of the blood vessels. By their
stimulation the hearts action may be
increased. This explains the fact that
application of cold water or cold air to
the face is one of the best means of re-
viving a person who has fallen in syn
cope. 1t is a curious fact that people of
all nations are accustomed, when in any
difficulty, to stimulate one or another
branch of the fifth. nerve, and quicken
their mental processes. Thus, some
persons, when puzzled, scratch their
heads, others rub their foreheads, and
others stroke or pull their boards, thus
stimulating the occipital, frontal, or
mental branches of these nerves. Many
Germans, when thinking, have habit
of striking their fingers against their
noses, and thus stimulating the nasal
cutaneOuS branches, while in other cOun-
tries some people stimulate the branches
distributed to the mucous membrane of
the nose by taking snuff. The late Lord
Derby, when transIating Homer, was
accustomed to eat branded cherries.
One man will eat figs while composing
a leading article; another will suck
chocolate creams; others will smoke
cigarettes, and others sip brandy and
water. By these means they stimulate
the lingual and buccal branches of the
nerve, and thus reflexly excite their
brains. Alcohol appears to excite Cir
culation through the brain reflexly from
the mouth, and to stimulate the heart
retlexiy from the stomach, even before
it is absorbed into blood. Shortly after
it has been swallowed, however, it is
absorbed from the stomach, and passes
with the blood to the heart, to the brain,
and to the other parts of the nervous
system, upon which it begins to act di.

Saxon Hacks.

In all the Saxon cities, as have once
before remarked, the hack, or, as it is
known here, the droschka, is called
upon by all classes of people for all
sorts of purposes. 1t is used great
deal more than in Chicago or any
American city. The fares are so low,
the service so good, the drivers are gem
orally such good fellows, that the
droschka stands in high repute from one
end of the country to the other. In all
cities there are hack-squares, or rather
squares where hacks can be found, but
to find them in perfect swarms one
must 90 to the railroad stations. 1t
puzzled me for some time to discover
how they all secured jobs; how it came
about that in the course of day or night
none of them were entirely neglected,
like the Chicago hackmen; but I very
soon discovered the secret.
The dorschkas, as rule, are very
good-looking vehicles. Some of them
present even a handsome appearance,
and you could indulge in very stylish
turn out upon the streets for a very
small outlay of money were it not for
two drawbacks-the drivers hat, which
everybody recognizes, and the number
of the vehicle, which is displayed like a
Chicago clothing store advertisement.
No matter how you may settle yourself
back, against the cushions, no matter
how digni6ed and respectable you may
try TO appear, no matter what airs you
put on or how condescending you gaze
upon the people as you pass, they know
you are sitting in droschka, and they
can guess just about how much you are
paying for your grandeur. But then,
again, there are droschkas so old and
worn in the service of their country that
they should have been retired on half
pay long ago. They are worn at the
heel, out at the elbows, and so seedv
that should the Crown Prince ride in
one of them, dressed in his most elegant
court uniform, he would look shabby.
On leaving the crowded Saxon rail
road station, the stranger naturally,
therefore, picks out the best-looking
droschka he can find, and attempts to
enter it, at the same time giving the
driver directions. But the latter bows,
and informs him that he must get
check from the uniformed, fat, fair, and
obliging official who stands at the main
entrance to the depot. This is annoy
ing, but you must get that check. No
check. no ride. The stranger APP
proaches the check-man, informs that
gentleman that he wants droschka,
and is soon in possession of the neces-
sary certificate. This is large oblong
brass check with the number of the
hack which is entitled to the next job
upon it. Everything goes by rotation.
You must take the hack for better or
for worse. 1t is game of chance. Per-
haps you will draw prize, and perhaps
you won't. 1t is a little severe upon
the strangers, but it is great protec-
ton to the poor hackmen.-Chenanitz

Women OF France.

Here in England, says the London
GiFesc. we have a very f1ippant way of
hit. W : Off the characteristics of the
Erer.c awoman. We say she is frivolous,
id g. md inordinately fond of pleasure
Thes6escription will not bear looking
into. Firstly, it should be noted that
: She Frenchwoman often seems what she
. Is not. When bent on amusing herself
and it is through the medium of this
mood of hers that English critics gem
orally weigh her character and Judge
her actions-she leaves, it is true, all
care at home and enters upon the bust
ness of pleasure with the spirit of a
child; but it is unjust to call her frivo-
Ious and idle on this account. Perhaps
ne women are such industrious and seri-
= gu j workers as those of France. The
IN aterial prosperity of their country is
certainly largely attributable to their
iadmirable capacity for making them
selves useful in all departments of life
from which they are not shut out by the
walls they can not hope to scale-wails
! which they show their practical wisdom
by leaving alone. The typical French
woman's character is not deep, but it
has been traced out by nature with no
unsteady hand. Her spirit of independ-
ence, her comparative freedom from
that timidity which is often represented
as beautiful weakness of her sex, have
enabled her to conquer much of the
ground that belongs additionally to man
simply by qualifying herself to compete
with him, industriously and intellectu-
ally, in multitude of ways. She likes
TO be self-reliant, and to feel that in case
of need she can do battle with the
world
Although French women generally
marry early and under conditions of
parental influence, which invest the act
of putting on the bridal veil with about
as much sentiment as that of taking to
their first long gown, or altering up
their girlish tresses into inaideniy coil
of plaits, the majority of them make
good wives and still better mothers.
The French woman is not the most af-
feetionate of spouses, but in her devoted
ness to her children she is not to be sur
passed, while the interest she takes in
her husbands work and her desire to
help him for the common good throw
into bold relief the strongest side of her
character. Ii he is a doctor she will
make out his bills for him; if q trades
man, she will look over the accounts
and preside over the till; whatever his
occupation, she will lend him helping
hand, 1t will be correctly surmised that
we are speaking of the bourgeoise-the
ail-powerful women in France. The
extremes of luxury and poverty have
tho effect of so modifying the salient
uoints of a nations character that in in
vestigations of this kind it is always bet
Ter to choose ones types from the great
rujddle class. What we wish to lay
stress on is the fact that the French
woman, although extremely emotional
at times in the ordinary business of life,
looks at nothing through romantic
aud sentimental vision. 1t is this pecu-
