The salons Prize Picture.

The grand prize has been carried off
by NJ. Detaille, who painted for this
salon a big picture which he named
1.-THE Dream" It is a clever painting,
but not a masterpiece, and it mixes up
realism and dreamland. We are shown
a camp Of soldiers, or rather soldiers
wrapped up in their rugs and asleep on
o moor, or, at any rate, what seems in
the moonlight a wide plain. The arms
are stacked and flags are stretched from
stack to stack. sentinels pace up and
down. Far off the military incendiary
has been at work, and the moonbeams
struggle through a lowering sky. One
must stand at some distance TO see the
dream, which appears in clouds that take
the form Of a triumphant army of the
great Napoleon. The standards which
waved at Fleurus, Marengo and Auster-
litz are borne by the spectral host-so
spectral that at any moment it may be
dispersed by a moonbeam Cor.
Argonaut.

Ladies' at the Dentists.

According TO experiments Of most
dentists, ladies are by far the bravest and
most considerable patients. While not
able to bear as much physical pain as
mankind generally, they make up in
force Of will power and self control, and
thus endure the trying ordeal without
fainting or hysteria. They may suffer a
shrek of pain to escape them, but they
bravely hold their ground until the tooth
is extracted. A young lady entered a
dentists establishment accompanied by
her mother. She was suffering with a
severe toothache. She was DESTROYS of
attending a party in the evening, how
ever, and wanted some relief. An
examination Of the tooth proved
the impossibility of saving it, and its ex-
traction vas suggested. ''Very WELL"
submissively replied the young lady. The
head was thrown back, the pretty lips
were parted, the forceps were inserted.
A shrill scream pierced the air, but in
another instant the young lady was
smiling through her tears, and the dentist
tr~iumphantly held the emsciated tooth
before her. Her toothache was gone and
she could attend the party in the evening.
"a man would have carried that tooth
around with him for n week." said the
dentist, ''before he would have mustered
up courage enough TO have it out, and
he would have suffered the tortures OF
the damned before he would submit to
the almost instantaneous operation OF
extraction. That's the difference be.
tween the sexes. "-Chicago Herald.

The Need Of Arm Exercise.

Walking IN m wen surface, the only
variety Of physical exercise which most
business aud professional men get in
town, is well known to be n poor substi-
tute for arm exertion. The reason is par
tally plain. since walking is almost au-
tomato and involuntary. The walking
mechanism is set in motion as we would
turn an hour glass, and requires little at
t%ention, much less v|olition and separate
discharges Of force from the brain sur.
face with each muscular contraction, as
is the case with a great variety of arm
movements.
The arm user Il a higher animal thar
the leg user. Arm motions are more
nearly associated with mental action thar
leg movements. A mans lower limb
merely carry his higher centers to hi
food or work. The latter must be exc
cuted with his arms and hands.
A third way in which arm exercis'
benefits the organism is through tn
nervous system. Whether this is due 4
nh increased supply of richer. pure
blood, or whether the continual discharg'
Of motor impulses in some way stores vi
another variety of force, we do not know
One thing is certain, the victim Of neu
rasthena Is very seldom an individual
who daily uses his arms for muscula
work; with this, the limit Of hurtfu
mental work is seldom reached.-Walte
b. Plat, NJ. d., in Popular Scienc
Monthly.

Marriages Of First Cousins.

But let us go q step further. Imme-
diately aftert the Noachian deluge the mar
riages of first cousins formed the remotest
degree of kindred available for such in
tercourse, ever if the respective distances
(see Genesis, CHI. 10Y and insuperable diff
ficulties of communication and locomo-
ton between the members of the only re-
manning family, scattered throughout the
recently submerged world, did not neces-
sarily involve a resort to the natural law
of the first family, and were but one re-
move from the primitive law Of nature.
1t was not until the lapse of many gen.
e~rations after the traditional history of
the flood that Moses issued his Levitical
DEGREES to restrain the licentiousness that
was creating confusion in that social or
ganization which had supplanted print
tive simplicity. Such prohibitions are not
confined to cases of consanguinity,
though the prohibited intercourse I'M
doubtedly includes ''any that are near of
KIM" which may well embrace first
cousins, The catalogue extends to de-
grees of affinity.
The vulgar error that both mental and
physical deterioration of progeny is the
result of consanguireous alliances, though
long since exploded by the scientific por-
ton of the medical profession, arose from
arguing from a foregone conclusion to
the premises, instead of from the prem
Uses to their legitimate conclusion. If it
were otherwise, the race must have de-
Perforated from the very beginning;
whereas, on the contrary, it is well
known that by the law of nature the
purity of a stock is maintained by breed
ing in and in, although TO obtain certain
foreign characteristics it is sometimes de-
sirable TO cross it with another. No
doubt any specific acquired disease in a
family would be intensified by the inter-
marriage of its members, but there isno
record Of any physical or mental inflrmi-
ty, in the early ages of mankind, result
ing from consanguineous alliances. The
Levitical prohibitions were directed
against a prevalent social and moral evil,
sapping the purity of the domestic hearth,
rather than a physiological one, affecting
the sanitary condition Of the world

Flowers Of French Landscape.

French scenery between Boulogne and

\ Young Mans Experience in Procuring
Marriage License.
One day last week g man stepped into the
Internal Revenue Office and, laying down
two dollars on the counter, asked for q
license. The deputy, Mr.. Cravens, took
down the certificate book and asked: "At
what date will you commence business ?''
The man colored up, looked very indig-
nant, and replied: ~ don't know as that
is necessary for me to state, and further
more, don't think 1t is any of your busi-
ness"
The deputy tried to reason with the ap-
plicsnt, stating that the date of commence
ing business must be put in the license
The young man became quite wrathy,
and refused TO give the date.
Just as he was about to leave the Office in
high dudgeon the Collector, Mr.. Barnett,
came in and inquired what was the matter.
Mr.. Cravens explained, and said the gen.
tleman peremptorily refused, for some un-
explained reason, to give the date when he
proposed to commence business.
Mr.. Barnett tried to reason with the
stranger, when the latter blurted out
" How in - can l tell when l EN- going to
commence business when 1 amt married
yet"
"Oh see !" said the Collector. You
want q marriage license. Well you have
come to the wrong place. You must go TO
the County Clerk, and he will not ask you
such seemingly imperiinent questions"
The young man, with blushing damsel
upon his arm, was seen vending his way to
the Courthouse few moments later. He
was there granted a license TO enter upon a
new business, at any date to suit his own
sweet pleasure, and no questions asked.

by eight young people from the Caledonian

were very much pleased with the enter
tainment. Others were less SO, because
they could not so we'll understand the
singers and the story-teller, Mr.. BARNS
father. Mrs. Bairnsfather, however, was
understood by all. She sings in pleasing
voice with fine dramatic effect, and the
applause accorded her was sincere and in
every case enlarged into an encore Mr..
Bairnsfather sings humorous and senti-
mental songs with q hearty vigor and good
effect, but without any attempt at musical
finish. He tells Scotch stories well. The
two children filled simple parts in the pro-
gramme. The troupe gives an easy, not
labored, but pleasant entertainment. We
think it mistake to maintain for ballad
concert of four people the same prices
charged for an entertainment by full dra-
matte or concert troupe. The Bairnsfathers
give final entertainment tonight, and
will sing any Scotch songs requested as
special or extra features.
