Men and Women in Tonquin.

Handed on the river banks, and found
myself in the midst of population diff
ering altogether from any had hereto
fore encountered over pretty wide por-
ton of the globe. Slim, diminutive crea-
lures the Tonquinese are, compared
with whom even the Bengalee of the
Ganges delta is giant. But, strange
to say, the women in most cases are as
comely and fair as the men are repul-
sively ugly. But their size is ridiculous.
Of about the same stature as Goorkhas,
they on an average probably weigh no
more than half the sturdy hill man.
The men and women, when the men are
dressed at all, are dressed alike. A col
ored handkerchief is coquettishly tied
round the back of the head, and the 9TH
er garments are a long, loose blouse
with wide pantaloons. 1t is difficult for
the newcomer at first to distinguish the
sexes. What is most wonderful, how
ever, of the costumes now in fashion is
the head-dress which the better-of Ton
quinese ladies wear. A ''mushroom-
shaped basket might perhaps describe
it, but then the mushroom must be of
the size of drawing-room table. Add
two enormous tassels pendant on either
side, and place underneath Malay
featured, sallow-complexioned doll of
about fifty pounds weight, and some
idea may be formed of a Haiphong belle.
Men and woman, as in China, all carry
fans. Indeed, have seen coolies, whose
walking costumes was limited to a fan
and the woven substitute for a fig leaf
which so often suffices for clothing in
the East. In new English settlements,
after the public-house which has attract
ed attention to the locality, the first
buildings erected are generally church
and prison. Frenchmen always begin
with cafe restaurant, and so Haiphong
already boasts its establishment of that
description. 1t is, of course, the central
building and most marked features of
the place. 1t is strange how the French
carry their language, their manners,
and their customs with them to their
foreign possessions, but how they COM
municate them also to their subject pop
ulations. Thus, in our cafe here we
have Tonquinese mattresses, who, with
the few words of French they have
learned, have acquired also in some in
explicable manner the coquettish airs
and gait of Partisan braSSerie attend
ants.-Lo7adou Standard.

Bad Teeth and Human Degeneration.

The London Lancet indorses an opin-
ion recently delivered by Mr.. Spence
Bate, F. r. S., and long since maintain
ed by the Few thoughtful dentists, that
human teeth among the cultivated
classes are in progress of degeneration.
The ''dentine' is becoming deteriorated
ipterglobular spaces not found in the
savage races making their appearance,
while the enamel is becoming Opaque.
Moreover, which is more serious, the
development of the cranium which fol-
lows cultivation is attended with a
shrinking in and weakening of the jaws,
till there is not room for the teeth. The
facts being granted, the question arises
whether these symptoms will end in
decay of the race, or in an extinction of
each cultivated class as it springs up,
the learned perishing, while the barbar-
ians below them flourish. The latter is
probable, for Nature seems opposed to
the steady transmission of brain-power.
Genius does not breed, and families over
cultivated for their physique have long
been known to tend either to sterility, to
insanity, or to decrepitude. 1t may be
found yet that the hopes of Comte are
exactly opposed to the conclusions Of
science, and that race, after develop
ing its force, as for instance. the Chinese
did, can only be saved by becoming
strictly non-progressive, Humanity may
continue only on condition of its healthy
barbarians always rising to the top.

An Outdoor Whispering Gallery.

Many who rode to the summit of a
hill near Bismarck, Dakota, to witness
the ceremonies at the new capital build
ing and to hear the speeches, returned
TO town on foot. In walking down the
slope they discovered an acoustic prop
erty of the situation which cannot fail
to become famous hereafter if the build
ing up of the space that now lies vacant
between the building and the residences
does not ruin it. There was an audi
ence of perhaps 1000 people standing
about the stand from which the speakers
were making their addresses The
stand was elevated fully twenty-five feet
above the heads of the auditors, so that
it was with difficulty that those on the
outskirts could hear any but the loudest
voiced orator. When the writer with
drew from the eloquent entertainment
led to commit so great discourtesy
to the orators by the heat of the glaring
sun-General Grant was addressing his
fellow-citizens of Dakota. l could dis
tinguish his articulation with sufficient
clearness to follow the thread of his dis
course. Others less familiar with the
direction of his thoughts in extempore
efforts, could not tell what the General
was saying When about 500 yards
from the stand, and quite twenty feet
lower than the audience, | could hear
every word and each accentuation Gen.
Grant made. When he had done speak
ing, the conversation on the stand was
also distinctly heard at that distance.
Retreating thirty yards further, the
point of distinct hearing seemed to be
reached. The speeches made by Mayor
Harrison, of Chicago, Mr.. Carl Schurz,
and others, we're listened to by those who,
failing to hear near by, were on their
way back to town. A stenographer
stationed at that distance of over 900
feet from the speakers, could have writ
ten down what was said with less effort
Of hearing than was required at the side
Of the orators. The voices seemed to
possess the added charm of rhythm,
while each word was strangely separat-
ed from its next neighbor. The wind,
besides, was blowing freshly toward the
speakers, thereby rendering the remark
able acoustics of the location more note
worthy. In future times, when the
statesmen of Dakota address their con-
stituents from the front steps of the
Capitol, the constituents will be best
served if they station themselves within
the compass of the natural sounding
board of this new political FORUM Cor.

Not Exactly,

For the last fortnight a band of seven
or eight Bohemian musicians have been
discoursing music from their horns and
taking up street collections. The other
morning they were up Cass avenue, and
as they finished playing tune in front
of a residence the owner came out on
the steps and said:
Gentlemen, thank you for this tes-
timonial of respect. 1t has always been
At this juncture a chamber window
was opened and the wife looked out and
called:

Notwithstanding the enormous ad-
vance made in cattle-raising during the
past twenty years or so, the increased
supply, even in favorable seasons, has
not been at all commensurate with the
increase in the demand for beef. The
ratio of increase in cattle is less than
that in population, so that even with
the change in dietetic habits the de-
mand for beef would tend to steadily
outrun the supply. But our appetite
for beef increases much more rapidly
than our numbers. The marketman
makes his daily rounds with fresh beef
in hundreds of communities where salt
pork was eaten almost exclusively twen-
ty-five years ago; and generally through
out the country beef has largely displac-
ed pork on the table of farmers, me-
chanics and well-to-do people. This
partly because of the universal improve
ment in the scale of popular living, due
to general prosperity, but more, per-
haps, to the influence of an active school
of would-be reformers who have persist
emily decried pork as an article of food
and created a widespread and unreas-
enable prejudice against it. Leaving out
of consideration any possible increase
in the demand for beef for expectation,
we may reasonably anticipate that the
home demand for beef will continue to
increase as fast, if not faster, than the
population does; and there can be no
marked decline from the present exces-
sivo price until the supply of beef-cattle
is brought up to the level of the popular
requirements. 1t is not the prime cost
of beef-cattle in the field, or their neces-
sary cost at the shambles after being
driven or carried half across the conti-
nent, that chiefly determines the price
of the meat TO the consumer, but the
single fact that the supply is relatively
so meager that cattle-raisers can ask
and readily get prices which enable
them to make 20, 80 and even so per
cent profit per annum on the money in
vested Scientific dmericdn.

''Oh, Fred, are you hurt?" she in

pretty arm beneath his fallen head.
"Yes," he answered, gazing straight
up into her anxious eyes. Il am hurt

me; who fancies that [ have disliked

1t was an odd love-making, doubtless;
but there and then, holding fast the

the ancient and delectable story.
