The new French method of administer
ing chloroform with water is found to
insure Il far greater degree of safety in
the use of this anesthetic. For this pur.
pose there are used ten grams of chloro-
form vaporized in IA hundred litres of air,
u dose agreeable to some and to nom dis
agreeable. The most trying effects OF
the annsthctic, those felt in the period Of
ropulsion, are by this means almost en-
tirelv removed. The period of excite
ment is not great, and only lasts from
more thar one-third of the adults it il
entirely absent; the pulse n little ~acceler-
ated during the period of excitement, but
remains perfectly normal and regular
during sleep.
Complete insensibility is produced in
from six to eight minutes, and is main
tanned during the whole time of respira-
ton; after the patient becomes insensible
the quantity of chloroform is reduced to
eight grams. and later to six. Painful
operations, it is said, have no effect, ex-
cept hat the respiratory movements are
slightly accelerated; there is no nausea
ton. and though the mount of chloroform
administered is not enough to cause poison
ing, while there a be II o fear of asphyxia,
for the amount of oxygen is reduced only
by IL hundredth. Indeed, il is asserted
that, with the exception of cerebral con-
gestion and Paintings, none OF the ordinary
dangers need be feared.-New Orleans

VICTOR 4ueo,s BODILY vlooR.


A Trial Of the Poets Eyesight-when He
Begun to Grow Deaf.
Hugo had not only Il strong. healthy
intellect. but also a sound body. Toward
the end of his life he grew deaf. 50 That
il became n real infirmity. But other
vie he preserved all his faculties,
physical and mental, up to his last ill
ness. NJ. Ulbach records several examples
of Victor Hugo's bodily vigor. When
writing up Notre Dame of Paris he used
often to go twice Il day up 10 the top of
the tower. In the evening he Vas gem
orally accompanied by friends.
''On one of these occasions, " writes VI.
Ulbach. Victor Hugo was gazing with
delight at the purple hues of the setting
sun. turning his piercing little eyes in the
direction of the Arsenal library, which is
q long distance off. Il see Charles Mo-
dier on his balcony, he remarked care
leSsly to his friends; he isn't alone, there
are two ladies with him-one of them is
his daughter, but the other / do not
know Notwithstanding their respect
for the poet, and their knowledge of his
wonderful visual powers, the little group
INDUCED in an incredulous smile. But
when. an noun later, they called IN Mo-
dier they were astonished to find that
Victor Hugo's eyes had deceived
neither them nor him. once
asked the poet if this story was
true. and he told me that it was, and
sub5tantiated it with this one. When in
college he used to attend lectures on
phvsics in the medical school. One day
the professor wished to try some expert
ment in optics, and invited the students
To 20 with him to the roof of the build
ing. where he set up a telescope turned in
the direction of the Garden of Plants.
He then asked the young men to read II
distant sign which seemed undecipherable
to the naked eye. Victor Hugo happened
to be the first who was called upon.
II do not need the aid Of the tele-
scope he said; Il can make out the sign.
1t reads: Chantier du C~ardinal-le-
moine. -
In fact his excellent eyesight stood him
instead when he began to grow deaf.
He saw so well, y says our biographer,
THAT he seemed to hear everything. and
when he asked that n phrase be repeated
il was more to make sure that he had
guessed correctly than to satisfy the de-
mands of his deaf ear. a few months
before his death | was dining with him
and was giving an account of my last
visit to Spain. | went so far rs to admit
a liking for bull fights. %whereupon Nine.
Lucknow said to me in Il low tone: 1t is
fortunate father doesn't hear you, for he
detests that cruel sport. Pray don't say
anything more on that subject. So
took up another topic. but my host gave
me such IL searching look that | felt
that | was discovered.
"'I didn't seize the whole sentence
remarked the poet; you said that you
liked =
II ventured to prevaricate.
81 was saying that l liked the Bohe-
mian dance.

shaking his head, while Il smile spread

The advent of daily papers into the
field of illustration has made a demand
for artists who can portray the human
face, and you can easily see how scarce
they are by the faces presented of those
with whom you may be acquainted.
Every artist who is capable of repro
ducing a landscape cannot do the same
for the face. Besides calling for special
qualities, or talents, true facial expression
requires long experience. One must
learn to master a mans characteristics at
Il glance. BY study and observation the
artist must note what certain lines in a
mans face constitute expressions; what
is the proportion or length of his nose to
the other features. and what characteris-
tic it exposes most strongly. The sue
cessful portrait painter, like the poet, is
born. not made. But one who could not
make his mark in line might by applica-
ton achieve a moderate success. To be
II caricaturist requires still other talents.
One must nave the comic idea blended
with the knack of reproducing express
sions. There are very, very few success
full caricaturists, considering the number
who aspire to be considered in that light.

This habit has grown to be common in
our large cities, where men live nj Il dis
lance from their business places. and,
therefore, take II light lunch every day
during the week. When Sunday comes
they have leisure for breakfast, and little
exercise during the forenoon; then have
u royal dinner at . O'Clock, and perhaps
lazy ~lounging and Lying off, AS it is
called, during the afternoon; they thus
eat twice as much on Sunday as they do
other days. The appetite is just as good
US it would be if they were engaged in
their ordinary occupations, but the
needs of the system are not half 50
great when a person is idle as when he if
actively or laboriously engaged in bust
ne-,. and the result is that Monday is Il
blue day to very many. 1t is Il day of
headaches and i'll feeling, and by Wednes-
day. perhaps. they get back into the nor
NAL track again. and by Saturday are
ready for another stuffing on Sunday.
We believe that dyspepsia in city men
originates, in MINI cases out of ten, in the
practice OF overeating and taking little
exercise ON Sunday. - chronological

MIR. Holmes. the engineer OF the
water works ut Hornsea. England. has
adopted AN ingenious arrangement for
iiltering and purifying the water supplied
by the company there. The process il
thus described by The Sanitary World:
The water is pumped from a bore whose
bottom is on a level with the surface OF
the Mere, the water being obtained from
the chalk. Formerly 1t WAS far from
satisfactory, and formed such a scale
upon the boilers that it materially af-
fected their workings. Mr.. Holmes set
himself the task of remedying this state
of things. The water has always been
pumped into a tank. and supplied thence
to the town. Mr.. Holmes had a wooden
tank formed inside the larger one, and he
5 o spread out the water pumped upward
that it descended into the wooden tank
in the form of rain. The air, getting to
the water as it descended, oxidized it,
and, of course, made it purer. Inside
this wooden tank several smaller tanks
We're constructed, through which all the
water passed. The sides of the smaller
Us the water passed through them they
caught up the impurities which it held in
suspension. As the water flowed from
the p tank into the lower, from
which the town is supplied, it was sent
ripping over gravel, which further i'm
proves its quality. Although the con
trivance is admirably adapted for the
purpose il is intended to serve. il is hardly
suitable for towns which require a large
supply of water. Boston Budget.
