NATURES ECONOMY.
Wonderfully Displayed in the Construo
 ton of the Human Frame.

Wonderfully Displayed in the Construo
 tion of the Human Frame.
 We may see glimpses of the great sys tenn of general regulation wh ich guards nature from overdrawing her accounts in connection with the arrangement ot living things. Not only in beings of high degree, but in animals of low es- tate, do we meet with illustrations of the economy of power and the saving of needless expenditures of force and energy which dame nature practises. The study of human anatomy, which, of course, is one in many points with the comparative science as applied to lower life, reveals not a few instructive examples of this saving tendency in life's ways. The human head, for example, is nicely balanced on the spine. Con- pared with heads of lower type, this euuipose forms a prominent feature Of mans estate. The head mass of dog, horse or elephant requires to be tied on, as it were, to the spine. fragments and muscular arrangements of complex nature perform their part in securing that the front extremity of these forms should be safely adjusted. But in man there is an absence of effort apparent in Natures ways of securing the desired end. The erect posture, too, is ad- iusted and arranged for on principles of neat economy. The type of body $ the same as in lower life. Human ty appears before us as a modification, an evolution but in no sense new creI- ton. Man rises from his ''forelegs - arms being identical, be it remarked, with the anterior pair of mbs in lower life-and speedily there ensles an adaptation of means to ends, and all m the direction of the economical cOnver- sion of the lower to the higher type of being. The head becomes balanced and not secured. as we have seen, and thus a saving ot muscular power is en- tailed. Adjustments of bones and joints take place, and the muscles of one aspect-say the front-of the body, counterbalance the action of those of the other aspect, the back; and between the two diverging tendencies the erect position is maintained practically with out effort. So also in the petty deta Is of the work nature has not been un- mindful of her saving clause. We see this latter fact illustrated in the d.s- position of the arrangements of foot and heel. One may legitimately an- nounce that man owes much to his head; but the truth is, he owes great deal of hs mental comfort and physical economy to his heels. The heel bone has become especially prominent in man when compared with lower forms of quadrupeo life. It projects far be- hind the mass of foot and leg, aad thus forms a stable fulcrum of support whereon the body may rest. Here, again. economy of ways and means is illustrated. .-LOnqman' Magazine.

Fair Luna Constantly Shining Upon Ripe
 Fields of Golden Wheat.
 It is an interesting fact that wheat growing has now become so widely ex- tended over the surface of the earth that the moon never fails to find ripe field to shine upon. When the growth of this grain was largely confined to one latitude. the regular occurrence of the ''harvest moon" was considered by some special arrangement to lengthen the day for the hurried reapers. As now grain is falling somewhere every month of the year, many must have to get along without this helpful phenomenon. No doubt statement of the continual harvesting, and the time when different countr es accomplish their gathering, will be of general interest. We find the following in an exchange:
 It is harvest in January for Australia, New Zealand, Chili and Argentine; February and March for East India and Upper Egypt; April for Lower Egypt, Syria. Cyprus, Persia.

 "Whv is it that the East Room of the White House is kept so bare of furni- ture?" asked visitor to this city of a White-House official.
 Because if it was filled with small pieces of furniture, bric-a-brac or knick- knacks, it would present most dilapi- dated condition" was the answer. "As it is, the relic-hunters cut off tassels from the fringe of the furniture, or tear off pieces of the curtains. If there was any thing portable handy, off it would 90 as memento of the visit.
 Washington is perhaps the greatest place for relic-hunters in this country. Here they have full swing at all sorts of historical places, and each visitor thinks that he or she must carry something home to the old folks. Just at present pieces of the Washington Monument are the most salab.e. Everywhere you 20 you see a piece of white marble, some with rude sketches of the monu- ment on them, others plain; but there IS enough still on sale to raise the monu- ment fifty feet higher, and the greatest part of the joke is that all of the stone for sale is said to have been clipped from the cap-stone!
 One would hardly believe that relics of Guteau still exist, but they do, or, at least, some people are made to suppose they do, and they find a ready market. Talking to a well-known ''relic fakir" he spoke of some interesting things in regard to his trade. He managed soon after Guiteau tried to suicide to have mentioned in paper that the impro- vised knife with which Guiteau tried to commit the decd was in his possession. He was soon overrun with requests from relic hunters for the knife, but he had an eye to business. He remembered a friend who was hard up in New York and wrote to him: 'l send you the knife which Guiteau used in his attempt ed suicide. Use it to your best advan- tage, and return it to me within a month" The friend sought we'll known dime museum manager, made a bargain to exhibit it for a few weeks, cleared lot of money, and got lot of advertisement for the relic dealer here. Soon after, man came from England especially to see the dealer in this c.ty. He was delegated by one of the Government museums to purchase rel ics. Among other things he wanted the Guiteau knife The dealer told him he could have it, and thereupon went into his workshop, took a piece of steel, sharpened it, bound one end with cord, and had duplicate made exactly as he had made the so-called original knife exhibited in New York. That's noth- ing" said the dealer. ''When Guiteau was hung, 1 bought lot of common rope, cut it up in small pieces, and sold it all over the country. l came very near making fortune in it, only one th;nr happened-mY rope gave out and, besides, l had worked all the suck ers." This same man has done thriv- ing trade in Cleveland wedding cake. He has some relics in shape of unused boxes and plate pieces of cake yet at his house. - Washington Letter.

A BLOW AT PASTEUR.

Looking at Hydrophobia Inoculation in
 the Light of Recent Catastrophes.
 It is becoming more apparent every day that the hopes and expectations based on M. Pasteur's method of treat ing wounds inflicted by supposed rabld animals were premature and unwar- ranted. When several of the Russians who had been bitten by wolves died in despite of inoculation it was said that the virus of rabid wolves was much more powerful than that of dogs, and there- fore the treatment had not been success ful in those cases. Now, however, a girl who had been bitten by a dog, treated in time, according to M. Pas teur's theory of incubation, thoroughly inoculated and discharged, as was sup posed, cured, has died of hydrophobia. It remains to be seen what the eXplana- ton offered in this instance will be, but it is not necessary to await 1t to per- ceive clearly that it can not be satis- factory. The death of this girl, in fact, must be regarded as demonstrating the fallacy of the reasoning founded on M. Pasteur's preliminary experiments, for it proves that the inoculatory process, however carefully and fully performed, is liable to produce no protective re- suits whatever.
 This occurrence, moreover, lends fresh significance to the experiments and conclusions of Dr. Spitzka The latter, it may be remembered, employed many substances in inoculation, and with nearly all of them he found it possible to produce the symptoms usually ascribed to hydrophobia. These experiments indeed inevitably suggest doubt which at an early stage of his public treatment was raised concerning NJ. Pasteur's method. ''How," it was inquired, ''is it to be known, in the event of death occurring after inocu- lation, whether it followed from the bite of the dog or from the treatment?' Now if, as has been shown by Dr. Spitzka, various forms of spinal meningitis can be pro- duced by inoculation, and if, as in the majority of Pasteur's cases, there is no certainty that the dog which bit the Dole girl was really rabid, how can her death, with hydrophobic symptoms, be with any confidence attributed to the dog bite? It seems quite possible that the inoculation may have been the actual cause of her death, in fact; and while so grave an uncertainty remains it IS perfectly clear that there in no justifica- ton for adopting the Pasteur method as a trustworthy remedy; or even for re- garding it as free from very serious dancers. r.
