Whatever light may be thrown upon
questions of race and language by fur
.her studies of these people, they are in
:rresting from q nOn-scientific point Of
r1ew because they present such an an
''maly. There is no savage life as peace
t1ll, as honest, as locilc, as free, as the
life of these strange folk whose habits
hint of primitive innocence. Perhaps
Lhc most plausible as well as the most
convenient explanation of SO strange q
state of society among savages is that
they are too simple TO be real savages.
Idiocy rather than innate goodness may
be the true explanation. Yet they think
it proper to cheat in u trade and they
are intelligent enough to attempt it.
This, however, does not conflict with
their ideas of honesty. Thus they pos
sess the first requisite for successful
man on Wall street. In some other re-
spects they are far in advance of Amer
icans-in government and in morals, for
instance.-N \. World.

Respiration in the Mammalia.

The rapidity of the respiratory move
ments in man is about one inspiration to
four heart beats, or fifteen to twenty-five
per minute; greatly varying, however,
according to age, sex and circumstan-
ccl. In animals with high temperature,
breathing is much faster, becoming
almost Il tremor in birds. In the whale,
on the contrary, breathing is suspended
while the animal Is under water; it be-
ing provided with reservoirs of pure
blood. When the latter is exhausted
the creature comes to the surface aud
puffs and "blow5" to obtain air and
refill the reservoirs.
The difference in color of the blood of
yertebrates is chiefly due to the varying
amount of oxygen in chemical combina.
ton with the h;emoglobin of the red
corpuscles es-the brightness of color be-
ing proportionate to the oxygen. An
essential part of the h;rmoglobn is iron
and it has been supposed that the
change i'll color is due to chemical
change from q ferrous to ferric salt.
But this simple and plausible explana,
nation is now denied by eminent physi-
Ologists, who, however, admit that the
iron has some essential but unknown
influence. \ MINOR cause of the darker
color of the blood il the swelling of the
corpuscleS by the absorption of carbonic
acid
The corpuscles are the oxygen car
riers, Seizing the oxygen in the lungs
and conveying il TO the tissues, where il
unitcs with tho carbon aud hydrogen.
The corpuscles also convey carbonic
acid to the lungs, but they divide this
labor with the serum.
In large quantity, carbonic acid acts
rs q narcotic poison; for, on account OF
lis superior attraction for the h;emo.
g,obin, it replaces and excludes the oxy'
gen. Other gases, Il; nitric oxide, have
the same effect. Nitrogen, on the other
hand, is entirely negative in its effect on
! the blood, and consequently serves t.
dilute the oxygen of the atmosphere,
without injury to animal life.
More oxygen is inhaled than is cxhaied
! rs Il component of carbJnic acid. The
extra amount doubtless unites with hy
drogen to form portion of the eyhaled
water. and to produce sulphuric and
| phosphoric acids.
The human lungs exhale, in twenty
four hours, about two pounds of car
bonic acid. This is the product of thu
burning of nine ounces of carbon. A,
giving some idea of the forces within
the body, it is interesting to know tha
the combustion of nine ounces of carbon

A Terrible Crime,

A servant girl at Stargard. in Ger,
many, had in course Of several years
saved a handsome sum of money, which
she deposited in savings bank. One
day, few weeks ago, she drew the
money and took the train for the town
of Schneidemuhl. a few miles from home.
She visited an old acquaintance, q butch
er, and told him in course of the conver-
satiOn of the money she had in her pock>
ct. The butcher advised her to wrap
up the money and fasten Il on her head,
buried in her hair. The girl followed
his advice, and left for her home, tho
way taking her over . deserted heath.
Meeting policeman. she begged him to
accompany her on account of her money.
The policeman complied, and socompa-
MED her the greater part Of the way.
Hardly, however, had he left her and
turned back when he heard . piercing
shrek. fastening back. he found the
girl lying dead in the street without her
head. which had been carried of. A
the girl had told the policeman OF thu
butcher whom she had visited, his 'sus-
piciOns were at once aroused and he
fastened to the butchers house. After
waiting half an hour the butcher came
in with bag under his arm. To the
question what was in it he replied that
it was . sleeps head and threw it ln.

Tricky Devices in Gambling.

One of the newest tools Is the poker
ring, an ingenious little contrivance for
marking the cards while playing, in a
systematic manner, so that in a half
hour one can tell each card rs well by
the back as by the face. Although it is
not generally known, it is now in use by
few of the oldest aud best professional
players in the country. II is no secret
that in the gaming houses marked-back
playing cards are used. The psttern on
the back seems innocent enough until
held at certain angle under the light,
and then the difference between cards
may be seen. The greenhorn can not
tell the pack from fair cards in common
use, but the professional can tell pre-
cisely the cards that his opponent holds.
There are loaded dice, which are made
the exact imitation of ordinary dice.
Then there is the spy, reilec'or about
the size of a half-doilar, which, it is said,
can be used with perfect safety either
ON the table or on the knee.
As for ''stripper5," another device in
cards, gambler says: "The benefit OF
these cards can be estimated only in
one way, and that is by the amount ol
money your opponent has got, for you
are certain to get it, whether 1t ID $lC
or $40, 900; the heavier the stakes the
sooner You break him, and he never
knows what hurt him." "rhe bug" ii

The Princess Diamonds.

Oscar H., King OF Sweden. Is an up.
right sovereign, and his Queen. Sophia
Wilhelmina. is . warm-hearted religious
woman. The Kings only sister, the
Princess Eugenie. inherited an immense
fortune, which she spends In doing
good. DIR. Cuyler thus writes Of her in
the Christian Weekly:
She is most devout and enthusiastic
in her benevolence, and has conseceated
her time and wealth and personal ef-
forts to the direction of hospitals. and
to the spread of religious truth among
her destitute countrymen.
No one in Sweden contributes 80
largely to Home Missions among the
Lapps and Norwegians as the Princess
Eugene. She spends her summer at .
villa called "Fridhem." or the Home
of Peace. Around it she has reared
asylumS for orphan children, and beau
titled the grounds with trees. walks and
flowers. She is the directress of sew.
eral societies for providing employment
for poor women; she has opened
schools for destitute girls. On the Sab
bath she has an evangelical service at
her villa for her many guests and neigh.
bOrs.
When the Princess Eugene built her
hospital she found her ready funds mad.
equate; so she sold her jewels to finish
and furnish the building.
One day she visited the hospital and
the tears of gratitude rolled down the
cheeks of a poor invalid as she came to
his bedside.
The happy Princess was SO melted
! BY his tears that she exclaimed: "Ah,

Suggestion for . New Style Of Con.
gresSlOnai Record.


II Congress resolve to act upon the
suggestion that the Congressional! Record
be issued as weekly and sent to every
family in the country. some modification
ought to be made of the contents of the
Record. The paper is much to heavy
and dismal in its present condition to be
welcomed in the ordinary Amer
household. As for the general contents,
describing the business proceedings in
the Senate and House, we recommend
that these should be put into the form of
verse. We should treat them, say,
something in this fashion:
Introduced a bill
To give John Smith IL pension,
Mr. I'ayard
Talked himself tired
But said nothing worthy of mention.
This would be succinct, musical, and
in degree impressive. The youngest
readers could grasp the meaning of it,
and it could easily be committed to
memory. Or scene in the House might
be depicted i'll such terms as these;
very able speech was male by Cox. of Min

Respecting the necessity OF protecting the

unce,

| ity.
1t would be advisable, of course, to
vary the meter as much rs possible, in
order to prevent the monotony which
would otherwise dull the interest of the
reader.
After giving the proceedings in the
House as above, something of more
spirited nature- perhaps, could be insert
ed into the Senate reports. Suppose,
for example, the pages devoted to the
Senate should lead off with something of
this kind:
| debater@,
| And spoke about his measure for protecting

OF course, versification of the Con-
oressionai Record would require the SER
vices of poet laureate of rather unusual
powers. If Congress shall accept seri-
Ously the suggestions which. we make
with an earnest desire to- promote the
public interest, we shall venture to rec
emmend the selection of the Sweet
