In the Jardin des Plantes, at Paris, in
fine grassy Enclosure, is a group of tiny
animals, the smallest antelopes known.
They will come, about the size of so
many cats, close behind their low wire
grating, and stand and doubtfully gaze
up at you with enormous liquid eyes.
And such is the effect Of their littleness,
their timorousness, their almost absurd
delicacy-so small, 50 delicate, those lit
tie, little hoofs, those little tender limbs,
those fragile fawn colored sides, that
little humid twitching muzzle; so small,
and yet so keenly, TREMENDOUSLY per
ceptive and so intensely sensitive; so
little, yet all alive and quivering with
nerves; so small, so weak, SO helpless,
and apparently so untitled for aught ex-
cept to apprehend; such minute atoms
and specks Of sentient being, so lost
amid a universe's vast incomprehensi-
bility-that my heart has been smitten
to look upon those miniature living
things, with the quite inordinate frailty
of their body and the disproportionate
bigness of their eyes.
Symbols or suggestions of humanity's
every aspect may, one fancies, be dis
covered in animal creation. And |
think those antelopes are symbols of a
state of soul rare enough among men,
and yet too frequent.-Edward Delille
in Fortnightly Review.

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
A Blast Fired from the MeKeohnie Elk
cavation Wakes Up Things

About o'clockyesterday afternoon,
a terrific sound, riyalling in volume
the explosion of an Armstrong cannon
started citizens from stores and offices
and caused those on the streets to
look around in wonder and
dsmay. A shower Of earth
and small pebbles fell like
hallstones around the corner OF
Eleventh and Harris streets. The
sound was the report Of blast which
had been fired in the excavation Tor
the new McKechnie block. Rock had
been encountered in the southeast
corner and giant powder was used.
The rock to be fired was
covered with planks, but too heavy a
charge had been placed in the aperture
and the force of the explosion sent
the planks skyward like rockets, high
above the adjoining building. Fortu-
nately no one was hurt and work was
resumed, but no more such blasts
were fired.

PROVED HER SANITY

$4,000, But Was Worth 1t

SYRACUSE, n. Y, July l5-January
q, 1888, AlansOn Hicks, of Marcillus,
began in the county court proceed
ing to have his widowed and wealthy
sister, Mrs. Betsy Ann Mason, Of
Thorn Hill, this county, declared in
sane. Mr.. Hicks claimed that his Sis
ter was insane because she had decided
to her nephew, Frank Collander, prop
erty valued at $4,000, for which she
had received no consideration. The
case was tried twice, one jury decid-
ing that Mrs. Mason was insane ana
another that she was sane. The last
Jury was the one that declared she was
insane. Her lawyers, George Barron,
of Skaneateles, and NJ Waters, Of this
city, appealed TO the general term,
which ordered new trial at its recent
session in this city. The case came up
for the third trial in the county court,
Monday, and Mr.. Hicks lawyer sur
prised the court and counsel on the
other side by announcing that he was
ready to give up the fight and con
ceded that Mrs. Mason was sane. DR..
II. l.. Elsner and DR.. ID. l.. TOtman,
of this city, visited Mrs. Mas n last
week, and their report that she was
sane was what induced Mr.. Hicks and
Mr.. Fuller to throw up the sponge.
When the litigation commenced Mrs.
Mason was worth about $4,000. OF
this estate the lawyers have used all
but about $4,000.

Tho Pursuit of Beauty.

Proper breathing is the first art to cul-
tivate in the pursuit of beauty" Thus af-
firms Dr. Louise f. Bryson, in an address
to working girls, in which she states that
the difference in appearance between one
woman and another is more than anything
else an affair of style. The chest must be
enlarged by full, deep breathing, and not
by muscular action from without. Initiate
the lungs upward and outward, as if the
imitation were about to lift the body off the
ground Hold the shoulders on line
with the hips and stand so that the lips,
chin, chest and toes come upon one line,
the feet being turned out at an angle
of 60 dogs 1t is wrong to make the
bony structure do most of the work in
keeping the body upright. The muscles
should hold it in position. In walking,
keep face and chest well over the advanced
foot, and cultivate a free, firm, easy gait,
without hard or jarring movements. 1t is
impossible to stand or breathe Alright if the
feet are pinched
When correct posture and breathing are
interfered with the circulation is impeded,
and deleterious substances in the blood
tend to make the complexion bad. This is
one of the many evils of tight shoes. To
be well shod has q marked influence on
style. The feet symbolic the body in their
way as much as the hands. According to
Dr. Bryson, nothing can exceed the vulgar
ity and hygienic wickedness of a shoe that
is manifestly too tight. For misery pro
ducing power-hygienically as well as spir-
itually neutrality-suspicious. tight boots are
without a rival
Next to the search for style pure and
simple as a means of health, the care of the
complexion and the cultivation of the right
kind of expression are insisted upon. The
first is largely a matter of bathing and the
general hygiene of the skin, while the sec
ond-a good expression-is best secured by
the constant preference of higher thoughts
over lower ones.

Some complain that they cannot drink
milk without being depressed by it." The
Herald of Health tells that the most COM
mon reason why milk is not well borne is
due to the fact that people drink it too
quickly. If glass of tits swallowed hastily
It enters into the stomach and then forms in
one solid, curdled mass, difficult of diges-
ton. If, on the other hand, the same
quantity is sipped and three minutes at
least are occupied in drinking it, then
on reaching the stomach it is so divided
that when coagulated, as it must be by the
gastric juice, while digestion is going on,
instead of being in one hard, condensed
mass, upon the outside of which only the
digestive fluids can act, it is more in the
form of a sponge, and in and out of the en-
tire bulk the gastric juice can play freely
and perform its functions.

RECIPROCITY IN ENGLISH EYES.

nECIFhUCllI IN ENdLlSn LIESs
For long time the advantages of
"reoiprocity in fiscal arrangement"
have been urged on Us by the British
trading and manufacturing interests;
but they do not like reciprocity be.
tween us and non manufacturing na.
tions. As soon ~ tho treaty Of Brazil
WAS known Of, British papers in Rio
asserted that it would not advance
the interests of this country; assertions
which were quickly copied by British
papers in this country. Aud such
statements have appeared in English
papers, both as excerpts from the
columns Of the New York Times aud
as their own views. All such state.
ments, however, were solely for ex.
portation to America; neither for
home nor colonial consumption.
In England another occasion is
presented Tin which it is difficult to
see where the laugh comes in," unless
i. is over the faulty of our Congress-
men who refused to pass general
shipping bounty bill; . bill which
would have covered the South Allan.
tic and Gulf coasts with ship yards
and would have allowed every port
which has enterprise enough to charter
500 ton schooner to start a direct
trade with South America, Mexico
and tho West Indies.
A paper published in London for
the information OF Australians and
officials in India, the Colonies and
India, after saying that the new reci-
procity treaty is the subject of much
discussion in the commercial circles,
adds:
Mr.. Bla,ne's plan for reciprocity
With the Latin American Republics
would strike . heavy blow at Great
Britain's trade, while Canada, India
and other Colonies were increasing
their surplus products with gres,
rapidity."
England, which for some time has
been exporting between IS and 40
million dollars worth of goods to
Brazil, sees both the loss on exports
effected by the reciprocity treaty and
the further loss from the increase of
direct trade between the two coun-
tries. instead OF the continuance Of
the existing triangular trade she has
spent 80 much monev to build up and
perpetua,e: hence the protests OF
such British sheets as the New York
Times and the Evening Post.

it generally pays to feed cows giving
