The members of the French Senate have
received from NJ. Charlton copies Of his
proposition in reference 20 the suppression
of the guillotine NJ. Charlton demands
the abrogation of the twelfth article of
the Penal Code, which orders that every
person condemned to death shall have his
head cut Off" and in place of {" the mutila-
ton Of the convict's body" the employ
ment-as long as it may be thought i'm
possible to abolish punishment by death
of physical or chemical agency sufficient
ly powerful to destroy life instantaneously.n
In spite of NJ. Charton's proposal, the gull
lotine may be expected to continue its
sanguinary reign for some years longer
and now that centennial celebrations are 50
much in fashion it is not improbable that
in 1892 the hundredth year of its existence
will be commemorated. 1t was the inven-
ton, as everyone knows, Of Dr. GuiIotin,
who, in the memoir on the subject which he
presented to the National Assembly, re-
commencing its adoption, declared that
he had borrowed the idea from machine
of the same kind formerly employed III
England. 1t was doubtless the decapi-
tating machine known as "the maiden"
used at one time in Scotland, of which
DIR. Guillotin was thinking He, in any
case, improved in various ways upon his
model, which, by his own account, was Il
very rough contrivance, indeed A story
adapted from that of Phalaris and the
brazen bull at one time got abroad to the
effect that DR.. Guillotin was one of the first
to perish by the portentous invention which
he had introduced Cor the same humane
motives as those which animate NJ Char
ton in proposing to replace guillotining
by some still more rapid process. DIR.
Guillotin died, however natural death
before the formidable instrument named
after him had come into use st. James

THE REIGN OF AUTUMN.

The rust is over the red of the clover,
The green il under the gray:
And down. The hollow the tieet-wingcd swallow
Is flying away and away.
Fled are the roses. dead are the roses
The glow and the glory done,
And down the hollow the steel-winged swallow
Flying the way o the SIN
IN place of summer. dread newcomer
His solemn state renews;
4 crimson Splendor, instead of the tender
Daisy, and the darling dews.
But oh the sweetness, the full completeness
That under his reign are born
Russet and yellow i'll apples mellow,
And wheat and millet and corn.
His froSts so hoary, touch with glory
Maple and oak and thorn;
And rising and falling, his winds are calling
Like hunter through his horn.
No thrifty sower, but just mower.
That comes when he is done,
With warmth a-beaming, and gold a-gleaming,
Like sunset after the sun.
And while fair weather and frost together
Color the woods so gay,
We must remember that chill December
Has turned his steps this way.
And say as gather the house together,
And pile the logs on the hearth,
Help us TO follow the light little swallow,
Fen to the ends OF the earth.

Worse Even Than Alcohol.

For some years past" said an eminent
physician of this city yesterday, 8 Il decided
inclination has been apparent all over the
country to give up the use of whisky and
other strong alcohois, using as substitute
beer and bitters and other compounds.
This is evidently founded on the idea that
beer is not harmful and contains large
amount of nutriment, also that bitters may
have some medical quality which will neu-
traliZe the alcohol it contains. These theo-
rics are without confirmation in my OBJ
servation, and in the observations OF
physicians and chemists where either has
been used for any length of time. The
constant use Of beer is found to produce a
species of degeneration of all the organ
ism, profound and deceptive. Fatty de-
posts. diminished circulation, conditions OF
congestion and pervcrsion of functional
activity, local inflammation Of both the
kidneys and liver are constantly present
Intellectually q stupor amounting almost
to paralysis arrests the reason, prccipitat-
ing all the higher functions into mere
animalism. In appearance the becr-drinkeI
may be the picture of health, but he is in
reality most incapable of resisting disease
Beer drinking in this country produces tire
very lowest forms of inebrety, closely
allied to criminal insanity. The most dam
gcrous tramps and iufiians with which this
city aboundS are bcer-drinkers. Bitters is
more dangerous as a drink than alcohol
But beer is even more to be feared as an
agent of evil and destroyer OF health

Poultry Farming.


The discussion us to whether poultry
pays or not is an unceasing one, as any one
can see who reads the agricultural and es-
pecially the poultry papers. We believe
the reason that there are always to be found
those who are ready to sustain the contrary
is that, in poultry matters especially. few
people study their surroundings and adapta-
bilitv sufficiently. To this cause is largely
attributable the ill-success of most farmers,
who complain that farming does not pay
but the very fact that almost all farmers
keep fowls, and at the same time that this
poultry business is regarded as petty bust
ness, makes this want of consideration more
frequent in this than in any other matters
connected with the farm. A few fowls
well kept, will always paw better than
larger number literally provided with
any of the requirements of q good poultry
house and poultry yard, and, as a rule,
there are but few farmers who can afford
the pains and time necessary to raising
poultry on a large scale. Where this is
undertaken at all it must be well begun
and well maintained, and should, we think,
only be undertaken where some member
of the family has marked aptitude for the
| care and handling of fowls. In spring and
summer, if farmers wish to ecOnomize on
butchers meats and have most excellent
! and wholesome substitute, they can, most
of them, raise a very large number OF
chicks at a trifing expense, and if they will
breed from some large. early-maturing
breeds, they will have economical and good
food during the summer and early fall, but.
with the exception, perhaps, of few picked
birds that might be kept by themselves
and fatted as special luxury for the
Thanksgiving and holiday seasons, the
number ought to be reduced by winter to
what can be properly housed and cared for.
These should include few, if any, birds
| over two years old, and all should be
selected from the best layers. and for this
purpose the eggs Of the best layers should
be given tosome of the sitting hens, select
ing those thai showed themselves good
mothers last year, as carly as possible in
the spring, 50 that they may not only be
good layers, but carly layers as well. But
this is not poultry farming;n that must
be undertaken, as we have said, as 4
business, and so conducted and as once
before we had occasion to remark, many 4
young woman who leaves the farm to come
into the city would make a far better
income were she to undertake poultry
raising as Il business at home.-[ Boston

Is Man Descended from REPTILES?

The British Association at Montreal
was greatly moved on Tuesday by teic-
gram from Sydney couched in these words ]:
Caldwell finds monotremes viviparous,
mesoblastic ovum. That does not seem to
outsiders to be an epoeh-maIling message ;
but it is explained by the scientific to sig
nifty that Mr.. Caldwell, a physiologist Of
adequate knowledge, has discovered that
the lowest known mammal, the duck
billed platypus, lays eggs ike a bird,
though il subsequently suckles It's young,
and that the structure of the egg is anal
ogous to that of reptiles. Consequently a
high probability arises that all mammals,
including man, descend from reptiles IN
stead OF IRON amphibia, rs has recently
been Imagined; and the Darwinian physi-
olasists are shunted on to a new line, and
must study the pedigree Of reptiles rs the
possible channels through which progress
sivc life descended with quite new inter-
est. The discovery is of value, though 1t
helps little toward the ultimate question
the origin of life on the planet The
existence of progressive energy in the
original germ Is not the less wonderful be-
cause it was developed first through rep
tiles instead of amphibia. How did it come
there at all?-[ Spectator.

Breaking II Butterfly.

A gorgeously-appareled Young man was
strolling in Madison Square. He wore
fashionable garments, straw hat with a
broad blue ribbon, patent leather pumps
with silk stockings. He carried cane
and was smoking cigarette, and his right
eyebrow was twisted out of shape by the
effort of holding single eyeglass in place.
Two young girls approached. They
were modest and pretty, and were talking
and laughing together. As they met the
young man one WAS saying something about
a dude" and he caught the word
Neither of them were looking at him, and
he could hardly have thought the word
intended for him. Nevertheless he stopped
" ! really beg your pardon" said he, in
