EDITORIAL NOTES,

Art has received a severe shock in Detroit. Two young women of the school of art in that town have revolted because the conduc- tor of that institution, Professor John W. Dunsmore, has decreed that no pupil shall be allowed to chew gum.
 Woman is making progress in England. In London 65, 161 women are entitled to vote for members of the county council, and in all England there are 412, $40 women county voters. In municipal elections 243, ,448 women can vote in the boroughs of England and Wales.
 A new and plausible explanation of short sightedness comes from Breslau, Germany. A director of che Ophthalmic university there declares that in 300 cases that he has studied the presence of tight collars upon the muscles of the neck has 60 disturbed the circulation of the blood as to affect the eyesight.
 According to recent official return the length of the telegraph lines on the globe is at present about 600, 900 miles. or twenty-six times it's circumference at the equator. The length of wire is 1, ,6s8, ,880 miles, or eighty times the length of the equator. Europe has telegraph lines measuring 232,2 ,270 miles; America, 176,264; Asia, 50,375; Australia, 26,05s, and Africa, 12,973. These are the land lines. There are, besides. $50 sub- marine cables of total length of 112, ,701 nautical miles.
 Says the irrepressible Henry Labouchere; Now that Mir. Biggsr is dead, all men are saying all manner of good things of him. While he lived, and more particularly during the earlier portion of his career, no abuse was thought too coarse, no mud too foul, to fling at him. Fortunately he did not care much-or, rather, he did not care at all. He was the thickest-skinned man ever borr even in the country of O'Connsll. For thil honor him exceedingly. After g clear head and warm heart (and MT. Biggar possessed both) don't know any quality more esti mable than thick skin-or rarsr. | Sir Edward Watkins' tunnel scheme will not bs valueless to England, even if i is not carried ont.

Horses for Beef-Tea!


 Some features of the traffic in meat are in deed remarkable, as the following incident shows. A few days ago an omnibus eonduc- tor was imprisoned for overdriving two aged and exhausted horses which he had purchase ed for next to nothing. In the defense it came out that these animals were not sold with view to further work, but, according to their former owner, for another purpose. They were intended to furnish beef for the manufacture of sausages and beef-tea. Con- ical though the statement may seem, it is one which, if reliable, opens up somewhat seri- ous question. The flesh of old, outdriven and not too highly fed horses must needs be of very inferior nutritive quality. Even if not diseased it's fbrinous toughness and scant proportion of sound muscular tissue render it virtually useless as food. lis use in the making of sausages, and above all of beef tea for invalids, is an evident absurditY. To pass it off as beef is deliberate imposture which no quibble can excuse, and one which the legislature has fortunately detected and declared to be legally punishable. The con- tinuance of so disgraceful practice will therefore depend solely on the success of ef- forts at evasion, and it's best remedy muet obviously be found in closer attention on the part of inspectors, and in subjecting delin- quents when convicted to such penalties as will render their conduct improbable.

Exhibiting . Professor.

A good story is told of Professor Jowett at Oxford. A boredom to which that ia nous town Is subjected is the constant crowds of tourists which infest the place day and night, and every day and every night of the year. For these individuals numerous guides have been appointed, but one imaginative man hit upon the following plan by which he could at least always be sure of showing to the crowd one of the live liors of the place.
 It 50 happened that Jowett was very busi- ly engaged on his famous translation of Plato at the time, and unfortunately for him the guide we are speaking of learnt that the learned professors study window looked into the broad street. Coming with his menage- rie under these windows the guide would be- gin:

which it has lately been impossfhls to derive any benefit.
 The now Duke of Aosta, who would become heir to the Italian throne in the event of the death of the weakly and delicate crown prince, is . tall, handsome young man, with perfectly cut features. He is exceedingly wealthy, having inherited from his mother a fortune of $6.0Oo, ,0oo. his two younger bro- thers receiving $8,000, 900 each. He is pas- sionately devoted to horses and is one of the best whips in the kingkom. Photography is also one of his hobbies and his small pocket camera was held in horror by the ladies of the household, who knew that they might be taken at any moment in graceful pose. The title of Duke of Aosta is regarded as a kind of "Mascot," as every prince of the House of Savoy who has borne it until now has become King.
 A musical Chicagoan who travels about the country great deal has evolved new and novel idea which he will endeavor to have the railroads adopt. It was suggested to him when he took his first look at ves- tibuled train. The pliable connections be- tween the cars reminded him 50 much of coneertinas that he thought out scheme to transform them into musical instruments of this sort for the entertainment of the psssen- gers. The stops could be go arranged as to make the curves on road the real players of the instrument, and the more curves the livelier the tune. On the comparatively straight Pennsylvania road, for instance, the curves could play "Auld Lang Syne" and "Old Hundred" and the '.Doxology" could be worked in appropriately as the train en- tered Philadelphia.

LANGUAGE OF TEE FUTURE. EnGlish Spoken in Every Port and by
 1O0,O0O,OOO People.

Pre-eminently the language of the future will be the English, says the St Paul Pioneer Press. It is stalwart language because it is the mother tongue of two stalwart and one lon9-lived nations. It's rudimentary idioms were in use at the founding of London, forty years subsequent to the cruci6xion of Christ.
 It's vitality is in direct ratio with the vital. ity of it's parent nation. The restless enter psise of English exploration has carried the language, with its flag, around the world; Nellie By, speaking her native tongue, can be understood in every port and every nation embraced in her flying circumvallation of the globe. The English language has.broken plomacy. To American influence is due dis carling French at the Samoan conference at Berlin and the adoption, for the first time, of English in international discussion.
 During the period of Rome's full fruitage of supremacy, before political decay attacked the empire, Latin was the universal language of limited world. The early English dram atists wrote in 8 language known to but 5000, ,000, and Thomas Jefferson's inaugural address could have been read by but 16, ,000,- GOO people. At the latter period French was the language of from 35, ,00O. .000 to 50, ,000, 900 people. Fifty years ago the German langu- age was in as great favor numerically as the English. 4@@ i e""s

A Tame Seal. [Erom the Los Angeles (Cal.l Express. l

lkTom the LOS Angeles (Cal.) Express.l
 "Diok, i" the baby seal caught in the brush near the salt works about two months ago, has heoome great pet and @ general favor ite. He was set free about two weeks since, and immediately made wild break for deep water, into which he disappeared in twink ling. It was thought he would surely join the wild herd and never come back, but in less than half an hour after his liberation he came paddling up alongside the pier under the fshermen's poles, poked his head out of the water and began to cry and beg most piteously for fish. And 80 now every day, from early morn until sunset, he spends his time gambolling in deep water around the pier. He affords fine chance to study the animals habits in his native element.
 A few days since "Dick" went out with the fishermen about four miles from shore. When the boat stopped "Dick" climbed in and sat down on the seat to await develop ments. Soon small live fish was thrown overheard, and 'tDick" jumped in after it, captured it and immediately climbed in and resumed his seat beside the fishermen. This was repeated many times during the day. At about sundown "Dick" swims out to the steam tug Pelican, climbs up on deck and sleeps there all night. He also sometimes sleeps on shore under the end of the pier

If g mon has weary nerves and humping headache nothing prevents his coming home and tying a towel about his brows like 6 Turk, and being as grummy as one the rest of the evening. But woman in the same case can only look longinely at her old wrsp- per and then go and painfully build up her Psyche knot aud an agreeable smile of exact ly the right angle, else she will hear that "Hang ill It's enough to drive 8 fellow to his club to have an untidy wife lying about on the sofas!" and that "the deuce knows why a woman always manages to look pretty before marriage and never after."
 In fact being woman at all is a snare and a delusion.
 It sounds very, very nice, but it's awful. A woman isn't even allowed to grow old in peace. Going the course of all nature is just the worst crime she can commit. If she isnt't married her brothers don't forgive her for it, and if she is married her husband won't.
 So there it is; bore any way you look at

A Perfectly Tame Grouse. IFrom the Forest and Stream

recently witnessed a strange and, to me, an almost unprecedented sight, namely, per- fectly tame, full grown ruffed grouse. It is fine large male bird. I at first, in passing the window on the street, thought it skilled specimen of the tayidermist's art. I stopped, went into the store, and upon inquiring of the proprietor learned it's history. It was an acquisition of but a few days possession. He found it in almost expiring state from starvation in an unoccupied house in the sub- urbs of our city.
 You know of the wild, frenzied flight of these birds in autumn, frequently dashing themselves to death against houses or win- dows; several have been thus killed in our city. This one seems to have dashed through a window of deserted house, and not being able to find it's way out, was almost in an art iculo mortis when picked up. With much difficulty it was restored. 4 drop of water was. inserted in it's mouth, then a bit of grape pulp, and so, little by little, nourished until the bird now feeds kindly and confidently from the hand. It is almost omnivorous in its tastes, takes clover leaves, raw cabbage, grape, apple, parched corn, or what is known as ''pop corn, ,"corn birch bud, etc. Solitary, silent starvation seems to have amnihilated the wild. unconouerable instinct.

Yagaries of NIemory,

The following is an extract from an arti- cle by Prof. H. c. Wood in the March Gen. tury: "When disease affects the brain these alterations of word, memory are something very strange. In the most complete form of this so called aphssia the person cannot un- derstand words; he cannot think in words and cannot talk words. Usually, however, words are remembered sufficiently to be rec. ognized when heard or seen; but, although the idea is there, the person cannot speak in words. recall the case of an old German woman who had aphasia. When asked how old she was she would indicate sixty with her fingers. If asked how many children she had had she would indicate seven. If two of the fingers were turned down she would get angry and insist upon the seven. She was able to understand questions. She knew what the figure 'T meant, but had not the power to say the word 'seven.' It is a very curious fact that in these forms of spha- sia the language of the emotions may be pre- served while the language of the intellect is destroyed. Very often profane man, when he has aphasis, is able to swear. This Ger man woman, when excited, could say 'Gott in HimmelI' Besides this there was left 10 her but one little fragment of each of the two languages which she had known. She could Lot say the English mo, but could say the German 'nein;' she could not gay the German 'yah,' but could sputter ont the English 'yes.' The forms of ephasia known as WOrQ OInQneS5 ana WOru CehIneS6 are very strange. The sufferer from word blindness can write and will understand what is said to him; he will talk to you and perhaps talk you to death; but hand him book, a newspaper or even the letter he him- self has written, and he cannot read word. Thus an active man of business having been written a letter, giving directions for an inn portant matter, attempted to read it in order to see if 1t was correct, but was astounded to find that he could not make out single word; he had been suddenly stricken with word blindness. The sounds of the words and the words themselves had remained to him, but the recollection Of the written forms of the words was gone. In cage Of word deafness the person can talk and can write, but although his hearing is perfect he cannot recognize the spoken words. The sound of the voice is plain to his sense, but conveys no thought to him. The records of the past-the unconscious memory so to speak-exist in the brain; but for conscious recognition these must be dragged out before the consciousness. It is doubtful whether there is such thing as bad memory. i. e., as badly kept brain record. The difference in individuals as to the power of recollect- ing probably consists in the relation between consciousness and memory. One man has the power of going into the library in his brain and picking up at once the leaf he wants, and glories in his good memory. An- other cannot in a moment find what he de- sires, but when the floods of disease come, then spontaneously float up those things which he had thought were gone for ever."

The Washerwomen of Madrid.

 From E. L. Wakeman in the Augusta Chronicle.l
 Ten thousand women soak and splash and souss and beat the linen of Madrid within the scant waters of the Manzsnares every day. Not an article of clothing ia elsewhere washed. No other than these Manzanares lavenderas are permitted to labor as laun- dresses, and for three miles up and down the stream, from opposite the infantry and artiI- lery barracks upon the heights of Montana del Principe, past the windows of the Queen Regents apartments in the royal palace, and circling around away beyond Toledo Gate, the moving dots of red and blue, yellow and gray, comprise the great army of Amezons with arms and legs on them like tree trunks, with voluptuous breasts and shapely necks; hard-muscled and bronzed as Turks; the most arduous toilers, the wickedest black gaurds, and withal the sunniest tempered souls in Spain.
 Each lavender brings her own huge roll of bread. perhaps bit of cheese, clasp knife ta prevent undue liberties from the strag- gling soldiery near. as well as to use in cut ting bread; and, just before noon, they break fast in huge wooden sheds on salt fish, pota. toes and coffee, with @ measure of red wine provided by the anna, duplicating this meal as dinner at 4 in the afternoon. They eat like animals, and the moment their food is disposed of the tinkle of the guitar is heard, and you or any disposed pesser may dance with them, as did, until the thirty minutes allowed them have expired. On these occa- sions every one dances, girls of eighteen and women of eighty, and the scenes along Man- zanares are very picturesque and interesting.
