Balloon and Kitten.

Most of the monkey tribe are, like the
human infant, curious about the causes
of things, and always wanting to know
what "makes things go" This trait is

much better than blind anger. DR.. A..

I took one of the baboons-it was a
fernaIe-along TO my home in Germany,
because she had always proved TO be Of
extraordinary sagacity, and actually ex-
hioited far greater intelligence than
the average country women Of Thuringja
where 1 was living. apes IN general like
other crea lures, provided they submit to
their caressing and fondling. My baboon
at first concentrated her tenderness upon
the children OF the village, but 70 her
great sorrow found noreci procity. Then
she turned to cats and dogs, and teesed
and tormented them in every way.
A bright pussy, which the most of the
time she carried in her arms, was tired
one day of her company and attempted
to escape. The ape strongly objected,
and the kitten in its struggle scratched
her in the shoulder. GraVely the baboon
seized one of the paws of her pet, ex-
amined it carefully, and finding, proba-
bly,, the sharp claws dangerous super

Max o'Rell on American Women.

That which struck me most in America
from first to last, is the total absence of
stupid looking faces. All are not hand
some, but all are intelligent and beaming
with activity. In my opinion, it is in
this that American beauty mainly con-
sists. In the large cities of the cast, the
first thing which caught my attention was
the thinness of the men and the plump
ness of the women. This seemed 20 hint
that the former lived in a furnace of &C
tivity and the latter IN cotton wool. This
impression soon deepened into convio
ton. 1t seemed TO me that her los was as
near to being perfection as an earthly lot
could be. A respect amounting TO rever-
enoe is shown for her, and it appears to
be the chief aim of her protectors to
surround her with luxury aid make her
path through life sunny one. So far as
adding to her mental and physical grace
goes, this plan of making every woman
an uncrowneG queen has answered COM
pletely. Seeing her high position, she
has set herself so work TO fill it becom-
ingly, and it is the cultivation of Ameri-
cas- daughters, it is their charming indie
pendence and u consciousness OF their
power, that make them so at, ractive and
render American society so delightful 20
the stranger. In their treatment of
women, the Americans might give more
than one lesson to the men of the Old
World, even TO the Frenchman who, in
the matter of politeness, lives a good
deal, l Gm afraid, on the reputation of
his ancestors. The respect for women,
in America, seemed TO me to be perfectly
disinterested, purely platOnic. In France
this respect always borders on gallantry.
A Frenchman will always stand back to
let a woman pass, but he will generally
profit by the occasion to take good look
at her.
Ii an outsider be competent to form an
opinion, venture to say that the Ameri-
can woman does not render to man a
tithe of the devotion she receives fAom
him. The French wife repays q hus-
bands devotion by protecting his inter
est-aD American one too often repays it
by breaking into mis- capital.-The Janu-
arv Forum.

Youthful Crime in Paris.


Of 26,090 criminals arrested In Paris
IN the course of the year-the figure
itself seems incredibly large-16, COO had
not attained the age of 20. There is just
now an epidemic of crimes of violence
perpetrated by young men, and if the
thieves and asssssins at present confined
IN French prisons were sorted according
to their age, it would be found that the
very large majority were made up of
youths between l6 and 20. These statis-
tics were supplied by the prosecuting
council IN the last judicial sensation that
has come before the Paris courts, and the
course OF the trial supplied the explana-
ton OF the fact. 1t was murder case of
extraordinary brutality. The victims
were an old WON an of rs and her lodoer.
the orgauist of the parish church, an old
man of 40. The criminal was the son of
the parish beadle, and the motive for the
murder was mere theft. The house was
broken into at night, the old man struck
down and left for dead on the staircase,
and then the old woman brutally nah
dered. The hoardings of boshthiewfe
hundred franos-were carried off h-yat
thief arrested in bed the same day, and
the money in his possession, and his
cl0thes stained with oIOod, At the trial
it was proved that long career of crime
eliminated in this horrible and MERGE
nary outrage-the evidence was convinc-
ing, and the jury found the murderer
"GHilty. with exeenuating circumstances"
To English readers the verdict seems in
conceivable. Even for French readers it
has to be explained, and the explanation
adds To the difficulty. The prisoner was
only Is. He had long fair hair, blue eyes,
and the face of q young girl. No wonder
the French prisons are full of young

Geninses and Fccentrics.
PoDular Science Nom ly.


Genius of this sort, then, Is not neces-
sariIy at all great; it is only unique, and
in virtue Of all great; it Is only unique,
and in virtue of its uniqueness for the
most part interesting. Not that all &C.
centricity and originality partake Of the
nature of genius, either they must have
com bipc9 with them some considerable
element of distinct cleverness, or they
result merely in an eccentric or an ori-
ginal, not in genius, properly 80 cal ed.
We have all known many escentrics whose
eccentriclty was far, indeed, from being
either amusing or curious. It succeeded
merely in makipg.itseIf supremacy annoy
ing or absurd. Bu5 the gulf that sepsr-
ates the mere original from the true
genius often as narrow as the gulf that
intervenes between the sublime and the
ridiculous. Every body has met odd peO-
pie, VINO lived by themselves in odd rooms
who said and did odd things and whose
veriest commonplaces had always about
them some lingering flavor of misplaced
wit and halfmad imitation. Such queer
people, with their dash of insanity, have
not infrequeutly dash of genius as well,
only liz their case the divine spark has
eli her never been supplied with sufficient
fuel, or never blown up by the breath of
appreciation into even struggling and
tentative blaze. Yet who shall say what
tiny extra twist in q special direction
turns any one of these undiscovered
cranky souls into a Dickens, Heinz,
Rabelais or a CervaEtes? The little ad-
d1tional twist makes to Us, the percipi-
ents, all the difference; but in the brain
and mind of the man himself, how inf
nitesimally small must be the pecu.iarity
of fiber or energy that ultimately deter
mines it.

Austrian Affairs.

Emperor Francis Joseph in an auto
graph letter to Premier Won Taffe, orders
that publicity be given to the following
proclamation:
To Ny Peoples: Overwhelmed with
deep grief, 1 humbly bow my head be-
fore the inscrutable decree of Divine
Providence, appealing, with my peoples,
to the Almighty TO give me strength, SO
that may not falter in the conscientious
performance of my duties as ruler, but
may keep before my eyes that course of
steedfast adherence which assrres for the
commonwealth the blessings of peace. It
mas been consolation to me during these
days of bitter woe to know that was up
held by the heartfelt sympathy of N y
peoples, of which I have received from
all sides the most touching tokens. It is
with profound gratitude that feel how
the bond of mutual love and faithfulness
uniting me and my house With eli the
peoples Of the empire, only gains strength
and security in times of such great ef1 c-
ton.
The proclamation further expresses the
heartfelt thanks of the en- peror and EN-
press and their sorely stricken daughter
in law for the sympathy accorded them,
and concludes by asking Gods help in
future and the cooperation of Austri an
subjects with their ruler to secur the
welfare of their fatherland.
THE Kansas senate has passed una.ni-
mously bill TO restrict the ownership of
real estate Ia that state to American

corporations might hold or own to one
section or less.

A Terrible Misfortune.

1t Is a calamity Of the direst kind to feel that
ones physical energies are failing in the prime
of ife-to feel more nerveless more dispirited,
weaker every day. Yet this is the unhappy lot of
hundreds who surround u.s. A source Of renewed
strength which science approves, in behalf OF
which multitudes of the debilitated have and are
every day testifying, and which, in countless in
stances, has built up constitutions Slapped by
weakness and infirmIty and long unbenefit ted by
other means, surely commends itself to all who
need tonic. HosteIter's Stomach Bitters is
such medicine-pure, botanic, soothing to the
nerves, promotive of digestion and fertilizer of
the blood. Dyspepsia and nervousness-the first
cause, the second consequence Of lack Of
stamina-depart when course Of the Bitters is
tried. All forms of malariaI disease, rneuma-
tism, kidney and bladder trouble, constipation
and bilousness are annihilated by this standard
family medicine.
