The French as a People.
[st. James Gazette


NJ. Paillerons dissertation on Virtue"
on the occasion of the distribution of the
Monthyon prizes at the French academy
sparkled, as might have been expected,
with wit and epigram. The French are
really virtuous people, NJ. Pailleron
maintains, only they are ashamed of be-
ing thought so. The fairy Ridicule-so he
explains the phenomenon-was not invited
to the baptismal ceremony of the nation,
and the revenge she took for the slight
was to make the child eXquisitely
and even absurdly sensitive to ridicule
Thus it happens that the French who are
in reality the easiest tempered people in
the world, burst out into frequent revolt
rather than be thought submissive; though
gay, they affect gravity to escape the re
proach of hght-heartednesS; they adore
the beautiful, yet they pretend to admire
"naturalism; they are believers, yet they
affect atheism; they are honest men, yet
they turn politicians. In a word, his
countrymen have, according to VI. Pail
leron, every virtue; but they affect the OPP
posite vices through sheer fear of ridicule
when Frenchman speaks i'll Of him
self, don't believe him; he is only boast

An Umbrella Loan Association.
IPhiIadelpbia Times

"Yes, sir; an umbrella loan association.
There's money in it and it won't be nv
fault if the thing isn't practical success
here before the 1st of February.
The speaker Caleb Ramsey had just
entered the corridor of the Continental
hotel Mr.. Ramsey is a retired Chicago
grain dealer and a capitalist.
/ am organizing a similar association
in Chicago, " Mr.. Ramsey Continued Il
have come here to see some of your CAPT
talists for the purpose of securing their
interest and cooperation. My idea is to
perfect system whereby | can furnish
the city with umbrellas at ten minutes
notice in case of a sudden shower. l
purpose if possible to organize stock
company. We shall rent stands in all
parts of the city, at all the railroad depOts
the larger hotels, places of amusement and
at various convenient points in the upper
and lower sections of the city and in west
Philadelphia.
AT each of these stands competent
man will have charge of good stock of
umbrellas. A messenger boy or two will
also be on duty at every umbrella station.
The stands will be connected with all the
telephone stations and district telegraph
offices in the city. Now, suppose a sud
den shower comes up. People who are
at the theatres or are near any of the
umbrella stations can be furnished with
uDnDrellaS at once. ne COSI Will De InOU-
crate, so much per hour, and we shall re-
quire a small deposit to guarantee good
faith. If so desired the boy will, for
small additional sum, call for the UNI
brella at any specified time and place and
will return the deposit and save the renter
the trouble of bringing the umbrella back.
Persons who don't happen to be near one
of our stations will simply go to the
nearest telephone or telegraph office and
the messenger boys will bring them UNI
brellas and take their deposits in double
quick time.
"Of course, our profits will depend
wholly upon the caprice of the weather,
but we can regulate our force of assist
ants largely by watching the weather
forecasts for each day When a day is
likely to prove stormy we shall have all
our available force on duty. During fair
weather we can dispense with part of it.
believe my plan is quite feasible. In
fact, similar company is already in OPP
Grafton in Berlin, and is a signal success.
If we are prosperous here and in Chicago,
| shall probably extend the system to

Equine Comfort and Convenience.
New York Times.l

A horses mouth is one of the hardest
parts of him to fit, so to speak. Some Of
the old bits were perfect instruments of
torture. The rubber covered bits, stiff
and flexible, are highly approved. The
steel bits are made in dozens Of shapes and
for all complaints, such as side pulling,
Juggling, and tOngue-lOlling and are stiff,
jointed, and flexible. The boots for a
= valuable horse. cost almost as much as
those for a man. The quarter boot is to
prevent injury by reaching, the toe
boot on the hind foot TO prevent the front
foot cutting the hoof by striking back, and
the lawn boot is for walking on lawns. pull
ing on over the shoes The shin, ankle,
knee, hook, and grab boots have been
fine point Besides, we have soaking
boots for the hoofs, and sleeping boots to
prevent and cure punches under the front
legs. Here is a boot to use on the back
of the front legs, and is used as a strength
ener to tendons and a guard for the back
and either side Of the leg. This fiat boot
is a standing boot, to be used when a
horse stands with one foot resting on the
other. The movable sandals or shoes are
where the loss of shoe would be an in
convenience or loss. Elastic stockings are
intended to prevent sprains.
Coming down to articles for the stable
blankets take up the most room, and in
some cases are finer than most persons
have on their beds Put on an English
crack horse the blanket hood, breast
cloth, pad cloth, roller, and knee-caps,
with crest and monogram on the blanket,
and he looks well taken care of, and he
knows it. The American walking suits
and sweat blankets are made of fine wool,
and are elaborate affairs sometimes. The
quality of the bandages for sprained legs
and other injuries is something that would
astonish a housekeeper This little ar
rangement with a rubber band is for twist
ing horses tail in knot and keeping it
in place.
Curry-combs. name combs, grooming
gloves. mane-drags, tooth files, and clip
Pers. all have their improvements, and
when the wouldbe horseman comes to
select medicines, oils, powders, liniments,
blisters, draughts. pills, and ointments for
his horses, or polishes, pastes. backing,
oils, varnishes, and compounds for his
harnesses and carriages, he has task be-
fore him unless he knows exactly what he
wants, for they are numerous and entic-
ing. All these minor things have added
to the care of American horses, and the
results of that care and improvement have
been health, comfort and speed.
