shells were exploded in its vicinity to see
what resistance it would offer to fragments
of such projectiles.

of his owners this year, after the stud season
was over, to have him trained and driven

and properly driven Bell Boy was able to
give Axtell hard fight for the stallion

The effrontery of our political dema-
gogues is something fabulous. The
naked truth, lately, has tendency to
shock the prudish hallelujah sheets

they dress it up in decolette suit OF

In squeaky voice with tuneful Tyre,

We are frequently amused at their
cute ways of attracting attention from
serious questions to their little song.
They have struck new vein now,
and arc singing Of the signs Of pros
perity in the cancellations of mort
cages.
We presume most business men un-
derstand that the object of foreclosure
and sheriff's sale is cancellation Of
the mortgage; and the great number
Of sheriff's sales have been a prOmi-
nent theme for months. Other mort
gagees are getting possession without
The cost Of proceedings, either for
their claim or for a nominal price

keep up their interest are able to find
purchasers of larger means, who are
able to paw off the incumbrance on

any consolation in these facts, or at

prosperity to agriculture by COMPARE

Where Bathing is Questionable.

1t is no longer fashionable to battle in the surf
at Newport. Madame Haul Ton discovered that
it was posaible to meet her neighbours maid in the
water, and then too, she came in contact with the
Summer tourists, whom she regards as very unde-
sirable to know, so she concluded that surf-bath-
ing must no longer be recognized in tour SET"
The people in bathing are usually those who do
not care for the opinion of the fashionable world,
or those from the hotels. Hotel life is not inter
esting. Unlike some of the other Summer places,
life does not center in the great caravansaries
and so unless one has an extensive acquaintance
among the Newport people, it is extremely stupid
to be at hotel-Ladies' Home journal.

qualities that distinguish the possessor from other
women? Who is the woman of culture, and why
Go we name her so?
She is the woman on whom ''none of the finer
favors of life are lost"
She is not the one who constantly asks if YOU
have read the latest book or seen the newest pic

She is the woman who responds most quickly
and hepfuly to the suggestions of those about
her.
She is the woman who makes each of us wiser
and wittier in her presence than we ever are out
of it.
She is the one who shuns newness and astenta-
ton in thought as in everything else.
She is not the woman who keeps you continually
marvelling at her cleverness.
She is not the woman who follows "fad' of
any kind, simply because every one else does.
She is the woman who never parades her learn
ing or her possessions or her convictions.
She is the woman who rather shuns the society
of the modern writer's and loves to dwell among
the saints.
She is the woman who makes you feel stronger
and wiser and better for every hour spend in her
presence.-N. Y. Sun.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Sensible Ventilation OF Rooms-Adm,s
the Air Near the Ceiling.
The admission of air to rooms should be
regulated, according to The Sanitary News,
by the following rules: Air should be in
reduced and removed at those parts of the
room where it would not cause sensible
draught. Air flowing against the body at
or even somewhat above the temperature
of the air of the room viii cause an incon-
venient draught, from the fact that as it
removes the moisture of the body it causes
evaporation or a sensation of cold. Air
should never, as rule, be introduced at or
close to the floor level. The opening would
be liable TO be fouled with sweepings and
dirt. The air, unless very much above the
temperature of the air Of the room. would
produce sensation of cold to the feet. II
may be regarded as an axiom in ventilat-
ing and warming that the feet should be
kept warm and the head cool. The orifces
at which air is admitted should be above
the level of the heads Of the persons occu-
pying the room.
The current of inflowing air should be
directed toward the ceiling, and should
either be as much s1bdivided as possible
by means of numerous orifices, or be ad
mitted through conical openings, with the
smaller openings toward the outer air and
the larger openings toward the room, by
which means the air of the entering cur
rent is very rapidly dispersed. Air admit
ted near the ceiling very sooG ceases to ex-
ist as distinct current, and will be found
at very short distance from the inlet to
have mingled with the general mass of the
air, and to have attained the temperature
of the room, partly owing TO the longer
mass of air in the room with which the in
flowing current mingles, partly to the &C
ton OF gravity in cases where the inaowing
air is colder than the air in the room

The Pasteur Institute in New York.

An institution for the treatment of hy-

many readers know, established in New
York city last spring, under the direction
of DR.. Paul Gibier. In a report of the
work accomplished since that time are
found the following items:
To date 6l0 persons having been bitten
by dogs or cats came to be treated. These
patients may be divided in two categories
For 4S0 of these persons it was demon
strated that the animals which attacked
them were not mad. Consequently the
patients were sent back after having had
their wounds attended, during the proper
length of time, when it was necessary.
Four hundred patients of this series were
consulted or treated gratis.
In 130 cases the anti-hydrophobic treat
ment was applied, hydrophobia having
been demonstrated by veterinary examina-
ton of the animals which inflicted the
bites, or by the incubation in the labora-
tory, and in many cases by the death of
some other persons or animals bitten by
the same dogs. All these persons are to-
day enjoying good health. In eighty cases
the patients received the treatment free of
charge.

A series of very carefully conducted in
vestigations by Professor Ponfic, of Brus-
sells, appear to prove that the human liver
has wonderful power of reproducing it
self. He finds that large portion of the
liver may be removed without serious in
jury to health. Surgeons have long re-
garded it as fact that the whole of the
liver is not absolutely essential to health,
hut have hardly supposed that the sudden
destruction of a considerable part of it
would not be serious in the extreme-the
discovery to the contrary now enabling
operations TO be performed which have
hitherto been considered alike beyond sur
tical skill and human endurance In some
eases, according to Professor Ponlic, the
removal Of portion equal to two-thirds
has been followed by new growth within
few weeks
