A City Marshal Abroad.

One of the city marshals who took n
vacation recently and went to France
found what n big man a marshal over
there is and how much marshal's
badge amounts to. He started to 20 to
several places of public interest in Paris
at an hour when they were not open to
the public. At the entrance he was
stopped and told that the places were
closed. He said that he was an Ameri-
can and had only short time to stay In
Paris, and that II he could not get in
then 1t would be too late. That made
no difference until he happened to put
his hand In his trousers pocket for some
change with which TO try to bribe the
attendant, His coat was unbuttoned,
and his arm pulling back the lapel
showed his big city marshal's badge in
blue, gold and gilt, with the word MAR
shal" on 1t big enough to be read ten
feet away. AS soon as the Frenchman
saw the word marshal he became obse-

city marshal became known, was shown

People in private life who come and
go rs they will, and whose sayings and
doings are not blazoncd in the press,
ought to felicitatc themselves. They
enjoy II privacy and freedom which are
far sweeter than the fruits Of any
notoriety. They are not expected To
distinguish themselves In any conspic-
uous way. They can dress as they
please. Their confidential communica-
tions are not reported. They can take
hack from hotel and drive out
without espionage or impertinent COM
ment. Their rent-roll is not matter
of gossip, nor their exper1ks. They
belong TO the great noiseless majority
which lives its life without ostentation,
and which wears no conventional chains.
The private station has been called the
post of honor. II is also the post Of
individual liberty and comfort When
the public appropriates man or woman
for any cause, that person may bid good
by to unfettered action: he or she is
fair game henceforth for every scribbler.
This is the age of printed gossip, and
those who escape by virtue of obscurity
are the enviable ones.-Ex.

It's Structure IL Such as 90 Account I'm
Part for Her Physical InferiOrity.
The difference of weight in the brains
of men and women has long been source
of deep interest to all who discourse of
equality and rights. These extra ounces
remain more or less stumbling block to
the unwary. Metaphysical justice re-
fuses To regard them other than iniquit-
ous. Yet certain structural differences
escape such close scrutiny, notably that
Of the knee.
The structure of the knee feminine
constitutes in itself permanent disabil-
ity for many masculine pursuits. The
knee joint in women is a sexual chaTac-
teristic. as Dr. Ely Van de Warker long
ago pointed out. Viewed in front and
extended, the Joint in but slight degree
intercepts the gradual taper into the leg.
Viewed in semi-fixed position, the joint
forms a smooth, ovate spheroid. The
reason Of this lies in the smallness of the
patella in front, and the narrowness of
the articular surfaces of the tibia and fe-
muir, which in man forms the lateral
prominence, and this is much more per-
feet as part of sustaining column.
Muscles designed to keep the body fixed
upon the thighs in an erect position labor
under the disadvantage of shortness of
purchase, owing to the short distance
compared to that of man-between the
crest of the ilium and the great trochan-
ter. A man has much longer purchase
in the leverage existing between the
trunk and extrcmities than a woman.
The feminine foot, comparatively speak
ing, is less able TO sustain weight than
that of man, owing to its shortness and
the more delicate structure Of the tarsus
aud the metatarsus.
Women are not well constructed to
stand many hours consecutively and
every day. It's safe TO affirm that they
have instinctively avoided certain fields
of skilled labor on purely anatomical
grounds. in which the smaller quantity
Of brain substance proves less an adverse
factor than the shallow pelvis, the pecui-
iarity of the knee, and the delicate nature
Of the foot. These, as parts Of sus-
tanning column, undeniably leave some.
thing to be desired.
Even the right to vote would not con-
fer on womankind the right 70 be sol
diers. Equality. it appears, is quite as
much an affair Of the knee as Of the brain.

miles distant, was plainly to be seen,
while the long line of fog lowering over

marked the course OF the old Conneeti-
cut.
As they descended into the valley Gen
eral Lafayette spoke TO John in a com
plimentary way about his fine horses and
the pleasant ride they were having II
occurred 20 Johnny that now was the
proper time TO show their speed. He had
previously trained them TO respond to
particular whistle with their very best
rate, and when they came to level piece
of road, with scarcely rise FOR several
miles, John drew the reins tight, gave
the signal, and away they sped like the
wind. They fairly few past the trees
which lined the roadside, and the wheels
Of the coach scarcely seemed TO touch the
bridges which spanned the small streams.
AS they continued TO keep the same rapid
gait, the general grew frightened and one
of his companions anxiously thrust his
head cut Of the coach window and
shouted, Are they running away Can't
you stop them Hold ON tight, boyl' etc.
But John said never a word, and did
not occur to him that as the general and
his friends had been travelling by stage
for several days they might be too weary
to enjoy such a thorough shaking up. At
last the horses slackened their pace and,
after few inquiries, the occupants of
the coach learned that the treat which
they had experienced was quite usual
occurrence on that route. The horses
walked demurely over the long covered
wooden bridge across the Connecticut
River (the same bridge of to-day, which
was then in its infancy, it having been
built in the year 1879, on into the city of
Hartford to the stopping place Of Gen
eral Lafayette, which, if remember
rightly, was the United States Hotel,
where the general related his mornings
adventure, treating it as an excellent
joke; and after putting a French piece
of gold of generous denomination into
Johns hand, which he cordially shook at
parting, lie went inside to play the hero
to more important audience, while
John played the hero TO the outsiders. As
a child have listened to the story of
Johns boyish exploit many a time, and
only year ago heard him as feeble
