Holding to Old Usages.

1t seems somewhat strange that the
usages OF a semi-barbarous people, as
the English people were when the OH
mon lawwas evolved, are all abandon
ed except those that pertain to the
administration of justice. An English
paper, in calling attention to the cir
cumstance that judges in that GUN
try still wear wigs in tryingcases, says
that it furnishes evidence that there
is less progress in law than in any
pursuit to which men of intelligence
and learning devote themselves. A
hundred years ago the members OF all
professions wore wigs, but they are
never seen now outside a court room
Our Judges do not wear wigs, but they
hold fast to practices that have long
been abandoned in Great Britain.
Trials here are much longer than
there, and many more appeals to
higher courts are taken. English
courts, it is said, are now no1 only
self-sustaining, but sources OF revenue,
while the maintenance OF our courts
imposes a heavy burden on the peo-
ple.-Chicago Times.

Chambers.

This disease, known also as farcy
prevails among horses, asses and
mules. 1t is highly contagious. 1t
IS characterized by a swelling and
suppuration Of the glands, infiam-
nation, tending to suppuration OF
the mucous membrane of the nose and
respiratory organs, painsin the joints,
and great prostration.
There is no evidence that it ever
originates in man; it seems. in every
human case, to have been communi-
Gated from a diseased animal.
1t is believed that it is never COM
municated by diseased emanations
dlffused in air. This in part accounts
for the fact that it is comparatively
rare among men, while it is frequen
among horses, and has a strong ten
dency to spread. Horses are very
sociable among themselves, and as
the morbid discharges rom the nos
trils and lungs are profuse, they are
thus easily inoculated. 1t is plain
however, that man is not as suscep,
tlble to the disease as are animals
but while it is are among human be-
ings, it is exceedingly fatal.
In most cases, the affected person
has taken it by incubation; injected
matter has come in contact with a
wound, a scratch, a chafed surface, or
q chapped hand. The poison lies
inert from three to eight days, and
sometimes for several weeks. The
wound may even have wholly healed;
but the spot at length becomes in
tensely infiamed, and later ulcerates.
The neighboring Emphatic vessels
swell, and become hard and cord
like.
The glands also enlarge, and the
whole part becomes swollen, then tfol-
low, generally, assesses and ulcerating
cavities. The mucous membrane OF
the nose sooner or later inf1ames and
ulcerates. as does also that of the
mouth, laryDx, lungs and eyes. Then
follow a evere cough and profuse ex-
pectoratiop.
In the early stages OF the disease
and also when the disease is of q mil
der type, it is difficult to determine its
nature. 1t may be COMPOUNDED with
rheumatism, typhoid fever, or some
other form of blood poisoning. The
patients relation to a horse affected
with the disease isan important fact
in the determination.
We have said that the mortality in
man is very great. Yet if the symp-
toms develop slowly, and are less Sc
we're. and the disease q
chronic form, one-haif OF the patients
may recover.
OF course, the attending physician
must determine the treatment, which
should be OF a supporting, stimulat-
ing and soothing character. All who
have anything to do with the patient
should wear rubber gloves, and be
very careful OF any scratch on the
face,

Stories of cobras.
From Longman's Magazine.

DR.. Richards came one day to see a
lady patient at my house. He arrived
in a palanquin, which was put down
in the portico. He went to the lady's
room and paid her q brief visit; and
when he came out OF the room he went
to the palanquin and brought out a
large cobra which he had brought
over to show me, in order to prove
by experiments in my presence that a
particular kind OF wood, which a ma
tive faker declared to be an antidote
to snake-poison, was DINO value. 1t is
unnecessary to recapitulate the ex-
periments. but his familiarity with
the deadly snake was quite alarming.
l could not help wondering what his
lady patient would have said if she
had known that he had brought q
snake with him to the house, for she
was terribly nervous about snakes.
The snake house n the Geological
gardens in the Regents park is a
most perfectly designed building for
keeping the snakes in health tor ex-
hibiting them to the public. The late
King OF Dude had built a snakary
in the gardens of his pal
ace at Garden Reach, near Calcutta.
1t vas an oblong pit about thirty feet
long by twenty feet broad, the walls
being about twelve feet high, and per-
fectly smooth, so that O. snake could
not climb up. In the center OF the
pit there was a large block of rough
masonry, perforated sc that it was
as tull OF holes as q sponge. In this
honeycombed block the snakes dwelt:
and when the sun shone brightly
they came out to bask Or to feed. His
majesty used to have live frogs put
into the pit, and amused himself by
seeing the hungry snakes catch the
frogs. When a large snake catches a
small frog, it is all over in an instant,
but if a smallIsh snake catches q larg-
ish frog, so that he cannot swallow it
at once, the frogs cries are piteous to
hear. Again and again have heard
them while out shooting, and have
gone to the bush or TUT of grass from
which the piercing cries came some
times too late to ave poor froggy,
though the snake generally got shot.
AS a final story let me tell how a frog
has been seen to turn the tables on
the snake. Two gentlemen In Cachar
some years ago saw O. small snake
seize a small frog and attempt to
swallow it. But suddenly a large frog
jumped forward, seized the snakes
tail and began to swallow the snake.
How the affair might have ended can
not be told, because my friends i'm
p%rudently drew near to watch the
combat, when the frogs and the snake
took alarm, and the big frog disgorg-
ed the snakes tail, and the snake re-
leased the little frog, and they all
scuttled off.

The School of Patience.

My dear boy, if a man can only
cultivate patience and strength, 1T
seems to me he will be q good neigh
Dor, q pleasant man to do business
with, q safe man to trust. and the
kind of q man the world loves, even
though he lack wisdom, and hath no
genius, and can't tell a good story or
sing q note.
How much does fretful, restless,
hurrying old world owe to the pa
tient man, who finds his strength '.in
quietness and confidence" who can
be patient with our faults, our tan
cies, our wickedness; who can be
quiet when the softest word would
have q sting; who can wait for storms
to blow yer and for wrongs to right
themselves; who can patiently and
silently endure q slight until he mas
forgotten it and who can even be
patient with himself? That's the iel-
low, my boy, who tries my patience
and strength more than any man else

is such a fool. He makes the same
stupid plumbers in the same stupid
way so many times. Sometimes

Fear Conquered BY Instinct.

An amusing illustration of the
strength OF involuntary impulse was
recently afforded by the visit OF burg
lars to the home of certain we'll
known official of this city, who lives
Just outside the district limits, in the
country. About three o'clock in the
morning he and his wife were suddenly
aroused by the appearance in their
bedroom OF three masked men. Two
of them stood at the head of the bed
and, with revolvers cooked and point
ed at the temples of the bed-fellows,
ordered them to lie still and save
their lives by so doing. They COM
piled with the request while the third
ruffian began to explore the room.
His bulPs-eye lantern being awkward,
he took a candle from the bureau and
lighting it began to ransack closets,
drawers, boxes and bureaus in the
room. While SO engaged he carelessly
let the paraffine taper drop in swift
succession hot drops all over the floor.
The housewife, though bound to the
pillow by the muzzle of a revolver,
could not restrain her impulses despite
the b~lood-curdling threat OF the burg

gently remarked.
The scoundrels at the bedside only
chuckled. At that moment an alarm
clock set up its call for an early-ris-
ing servant up stairs. The thieves
became suspicious at once. They
snuffed out the candle and threw a
big bag containing their plumber over
their shoulders, closed the door be-
hind them, and stole down the stairs,
out of the front gate and decamped.
And then it was that the good

Gentlemen.

What do we mean to-day by that
common phrase, @ gentleman? By
the lights of history, from gems, gen.
tilis, it should mean q man of family,
zone of q kent house." one of q
notable decent, thus embodying an
ancient stupid belief and implying a
modern scientific theory. The ancient
and stupid belief came to the ground,
with o prodigious dust and the col
lapse of several politics, In the latter
half of the last century. There fol-
lowed upon this an interregnum. dur
ing which it was believed that all men
were born "free and equal" and that
it really did not matter who your
father was. Man has always been
nobly irrational, bandaging his eyes
against the facts of life, feeding him.

hood, counting his stock to be the
children of the gods; and yet perhaps
he never showed in @ nor touching
light than when he embraced this boy
ish theory. Freedom we now know
for a thing incompatible with corpo-
rate life and q blessing probably pc
culiar to the solitary robber; We know,
besides that every advance in rich
ness OF existance, whether moral or
material, is paid for by q loss OF lib
erty; that liberty is mans coin in
which he pays his way; the luxury,
and knowledge and virtue, and love
and the family affections, are all so
many fresh letters on the naked and
solitary freeman. And the ancient
stupid belief, having come to the
ground, and the dust of it's fall sub.
sided, behold the modern scientific
theory beginning to rise very nearly
on the old foundation; and individuals

suing modestly from q race; with vir-
tues and vices, fortitudes and frailties,

itance Of blood; ~eternally unequal.
So that we in the present, and yet
more our scientific descendants in the
future, must use, wnen we desire to
praise q character, the old expression,
gentleman, in nearly the old sense
one OF n happy strain OF blood, n
fortunate in descent from brave and
self-respecting ancestors, whether
clowns or counts. And yet plainly
this is of but little help. The intricacy
of descent defies prediction, so that
even the heir OF q hundred sovereigns
may be born a brute or q vulgarian.
We may be told that o picture is an
heirloom; that does not tell us what
the picture represents All qualities
are inherited, and all characters; but
which are the qualities that belong to
the gentleman? What is the charac-
ter that earns and deserves that hon.
orable style? And yet for all this am
for all these imperfect ex-
amples, we know clearly what We
mean by the word. When we meet a
