The English Derby

1t is a surprising thing, but it is quite
a safe thing to say, that possibly the
greatest voluntary gathering of mankind
is annually seen at a horse-race. This
race is the English Derby. The town of
EPSON is fourteen miles southwest of
London, and is famous in two ways---as
being the place of the great trial of run
ming speed named after the earl of
Derby, whose country-seat, the Oaks, is
near by, and as being the place where
EPSON salts originated" The railway
carries passengers for a shilling the round
trip. Ii1 Of vehicles fourteen miles
long occupy the highways. The attend
ance usually numbers 900, 600 souls.

Louis Riefs war-fag was a common
table-cloth, 6x4 feet, with fringed, or
rather frayed edges. On the flag is
steel engraving of Notre Dame DIES
Lourdes, and beneath is written the
pedigree of Louis Rel; then prayer to
the Virgin Mary, signed by Louis
David Riel. On the reverse of the
picture is a prayerful proclamation
The flag is in possession of Capt.
Howard, who will probably take it with
him to his home in Connecticut
The flag which has just been presented
to the Sixty-ffth regiment of Montreal
bears sacred heart, with the inscrip-
ton, THY kingdom come" Curious
enough, the badges taken from the half
breed rebels at Batoche---onc of which
was brought 10 Toronto by a grcnadicr,
taken from Riel himself--also bears a
sacred heart and the same motto.

New York's Professional Beggars,

Professional beggary long years ago
made its appearance here, and some of
our streets are absolutely offensive with
that class of development. Hideous
hays salute the passer with hypOcritical
wines, bogus sailors limp along the
highway, armless soldiers who never saw
a war turn the hand organ of becgary,
keen-witted scoundrels suddenly dis
close hideOus sores, one-legged boys,
children with distorted limbs, manned
and SCARED and frightfully mangled
bodies, are conspicuously exposed here
and there, and the police take no notice
whatever Blind men stand at hun
dred corners, and little children almost
without number dog the footsteps of the
well to do, deceiving, lying, prostituting
their better natures in every possible
way, that they may snatch from the
generous or the careless that which they
might much better earn in the channels
of honest industry

1t appears that Rubinstein, the pianist
who fears nothing in the concert room,
and snubs his audiences at any and all
times when he takes Offense at a lack of
attention on the part of its members,
has one terror constantly in mind, the
criticism of his mother
A correspondent writes about this pc
culiarity Of the great pianist as fol-
lows: When, at any of his concerts in
the Russian capital, he happens to play
a few wrong notes, being out of health
or temper, it is not his audience, or even
the critics of whom he stands i'll dread,
but the old lady in question (she is nearly
so, who scolds him with wealth of
ly-favored invective until he shakes
in his shoes. No matter who may be
present, she DULLES him to her heart s
content, the while he stands speechless
before her, hanging his head like a
shame stricken and repentant child.

CHOLERA AND DRINKING WATER.
Is the MaIady Spread by It's Use:-An
Important Question.

Is the Malady Spread by Its Usec-An
Important Question.
For good health pure water is IS nee
essary as pure, good food, comfortable
quarters, and so forth. l myself am ar
enthusiast in the matter Of drinking
water, but not from fear of cholera or
typhoid fever, but simply from pure
love for the good. For the water IS not
only q necessary article of food, but
real pleasure, which ! prefer, and be
leve to be more heait;.tul than good
wine or good beer When water fails,
man may suffer not only from cholera,
but from all possible diseases. In places
where cholera prevails the water may al
ways be indicted, for the water supply
is always part Of the locality, and the
doctrine will frequently hold good, be-
cause the part may be mistaken for the
whole Where the influence Of tire water
is held up to the exclusion Of all other
local factors error is liable to creep in.
In England. where the drinking-water
theory is flu V believed in, two Ike in
fiuences in which every other local factor
was excluded, were observed in the
cholera epidemic of 1854. In one case,
in a street in London which was supplied
by two water companies, the Lambeth
with pure water and the Vauxhall with
impure water, it was found that the
cholera was practically limited to the
houses supplied by the Vauxhall COM
pany. ! was so much impressed with
this fact that / endeavored to see
whether the epidemic of 1854 in Munich
could not be explained on similar by
pothesis. But my researches led me to
a negative result Without doubling the
facts observed in London, l am of opin
ion that the impure water of the VauX-
hall company did not spread the germs
of cholera, for the propagation OF cholera
was not effected by this means in
Munich, but that the water increased
either the personal predisposition to
cholera, or perhaps the local predisposi-
ton, since the water would be employed
in the houses and about the soil.
Later on, in 1866, Letheby doubted
the accuracy of the drinking water
theory, and proved that there
had been considerable confusion;
so that a house which was
registered on the Lambeth compory
really drew its water supply from the
main of the Vauxhall company, and
vice versa. The cholera epidemic of
1866 was essentially limited to East
London The East London Water COM
pany supplied this district with water
filtered from the River Lea. Letheby
brought forward a series of facts to
prove that we might with equal justice
accuse the East London Gas company,
since the first case of cholera broke out
at the gas factory

Putting 1t Politely.

Navigating a branch of the Congo
called the Black river, Stanley and his
companions tried to open a conversation
with the people of a pleasant looking
village. \ few of the principal men ad-
vanced firmly to the edge of the river bank
and one spoke unhesitatingly thus: eve
do not know who you arc, or whence you
came, or whittier you go, or what is your
intent. If you come near enough to the
shore we will begin fighting. If you
wish to go on, go. If you wish to re-
turn the river is free, but touch not the
land Was there ever such candor, so
beautifully and clearly expressed, or was
it the guides way of speaking? We re-
turned the way we came, our departure
being accompanied by shower OF sticks,
clods, stones, etc, which, however, did
not approach within 200 yards of our
steamer. 1t is probably in this way
these equatorial people express their

the manufacture of musical instruments

ton, and is an object of great curiosity
to the connOi sSeurs and musical sayarts
of Paris. The entire case Is made of
compressed paper, to which are given 4
hard surface and brilliant polish. TIE
legs and sides are ornamented with
arabesques and floral ornaments. The
color is cream white, and the entire ex-
terror, and as much of the interior as
can be seen when the instrument is open,
are covered with wreaths and medallions
painted in miniature by some of the
leading artists of the gay capital.
The tone of this instrument is said, by
those who have heard it, to be of
excellent quality, though not loud The
broken, alternating character of piano
music is said to be almost entirely re-
moved, end a rich, full, continuous roll
of music, like that of a pipe organ. is
produced. Only two Of these instru
ments have been made. One is still OH
exhibition; the other has been sold to
the duke of DevOnshirc, and viii be
placed among the thousand and one
curiosities and ralities which adorn his
more than regal mansion at Chatsworth.
