greatly. For instance, in this country there are 9S women to every 100 men; ir Europe there are rather more than 10( women to 100 men. Canada has 95 womer to 100 men. In uncivilized countries the men are believed largely to outnumber the women, this on account of the fact that more men are needed to carry on the wars in which such people are constantly en. gagged, and because of the rougher ways of living. But so long as there can be nc census of Africa and Asia, so long statis- ticians can only guess at the proportion of the two sexes.
 Baron Hirsch, who gives away millions, is having some of the good luck he de- serves. He has proved himself the most successful owner of race-horses in England by winning s165, ,O0O this season on La Fleohe, Watercress, Windgall and other representatives of his stables. Charity will profit by these winnings, and some of the Baron's friends have already pro6ted thereby. For by one of La Fleche's last victories the Baron won $25,000 for the ladies who were staying in his house. Baron Hirsch's kindness to his guests takes practical form that Is probably reHshed by the impecunious. All the cartridges for the shooting parties are pro vided, for instance, and the amount of this hospitality will be understood by the read CT when he is informed that about ten thousand cartridges are used every day.

The reception toilet in the picture is of heliotrope cheviot with pluche-marabout and a velvet bodice. The jacket has g Vatican pleat at the back, which Is fast ened under the stiff collar and hangs in dependently from the rest of the waist. Under these folds the back fits tightly.
 The waist is made separately and fastened to the waistband, the material only ex- tending to where it meets the belt, which is made on stiff lining, and is ornamented each side with herring-boning, and is closed at the back under the Vatican pleat with hooks and eyes. Instead of breast darts, the bodice has folds and closes in the center under the full front.

ATHLETIC EXERCISES.
Saving Wood Is One of the Best of sucl

Saving Wood Is One of the Best of Such.
Athletic training has now become So
general that hardly youth or young
girl in the land but is having muscles
and sinews hardened and strengthened,
and health and constitution improved
by some process. This is excellent in
deed, and it has already produced an
improvement in the race of American
youth. They are stronger and in con-
sequence more self-reliant, and it is
very probable that they will make bet
ter citizens and better fathers and
mothers than the race which preceded
them.
But every boy and girl can not at
tend gymnastic school, nor afford the
services of a professor in the calls
thenic art Everyone can not. indeed,
lind time or opportunity to pur-
sue a set system of exercising,
such as is usually demanded
in the schools, and by the
books on the subject and by the teach
crs. To all such however, a course in
athletic training is easily opened with
but few and simple rules of guidance.
A sharp walk every morning at day
break is excellent Indeed, walking is
the very best form of exercise. IL puts
all the muscles of the body in play. 1t
is far better in this respect than horse
back riding or driving. Carriage riding
is not form of exercise at all. 1t is
merely easy airing, it is good for the
health and spirits, but it is no aid to
muscular development Running,
jumping, swimming. climbing are all
excellent forms of athletic exercise
But thrifty Dame Nature has after
all allied usefulness to her very best
forms of such exercise, and looks with
something of regret upon the waste of
force which is implied in mere exercis-
ing for pleasure or development. Per-
haps it she could assert her view of
the noblest and most remunera-
tive form of such athletics
she would put it at saving wood. The
lad who takes his athletic exercises
every morning in saving wood for his
mother has Dame Natures kindliest
Endorsement. If he could only believe
that it was not work, and would do it
as cheerfully as he would take a run
of mile, he would find that it went
quite as far toward strengthening his
muscles and making his body sturdy
The regular chores about the house
which the mother can hardly find
strength to do, the lifting, the water
carrying, the sweeping, all these tend
as fairly toward a stronger body as the
dumbbells and the Indian clubs and the
elastic pulleys. The good genius that
makes certain forms of athletics so
popular as play may well aim at some
early period to popularize and render
fashionable the homely hard work
about the house.-N. Y. Tribune

lie Alone Had the Courage to Wear
High Hat.
Twenty years ago the only man in
Arizona who dared to wear plug
hat was Marshal Duffield. Frontiers
men then had a strong prejudice against
the black tile, and an ordinary man
with one on his head went about at the
risk of his life: but Duffield, not being
an ordinary man. wore clothes to suit
himself. People respected his taste,
knowing that criticism would provoke
unpleasant consequences.
Capt. Bourlse, in his book, con the
Border with Crook says that Dufield
was appointed marshal of Arizona by
President Lincoln, on account of the
courage he displayed in the New York
riots during the war. ...,.
AS Duffield was passing along New
York street he saw negro fleeing from
a mob of drunken rioters, who were
bent on hanging him to the nearest
lamp-post Dufiield allowed the black
man to pass him, and then, as the mob
approached, leveled his pistol and blow
out the brains Of the foremost rioter.

aim at them.

Publication of Water by Metallic Iron.
Metallic iron, in the form of either
cast iron borings or steel punchings, is
placed in cylinder so arranged that
by slow rotation the iron may be con-
tinuously showered through the water,
which is being passed at a moderate
speed through the same cylinder The
chemical action consists in great part
in the conversion of the iron into fer
rous carbonate, through the agency of
the carbonic acid, which partly dis.
solves in the water and partly remains
suspended in the form of dark green
turG;dity On exposure to air the iron
is COL verted into ferric hydroxide,
settling rapidly, carries down with it
and oxidizes the organic matter. The
flocculent sediment permits of rapid
and perfect filtration through simple
sand filter. For evidence of its success
and efficiency it is only necessary to
point to the continued successful use of
the process at Antwerp. Dordrecht,
Paris, Nancy and other places Seen

FstIAL PiETY.
The Reverence of tho MongoIians for
Their Ancestors.

The Reverence Of tho Mongolians for
Their Ancestors.
Filial piety is the special virtue OF
China and Japan. From it spring 10y
atty to the emperor, who is regarded
as 'the father and mother of his peo-
pie" There are no greater favorites
with the Japanese than the "Four-and-
Twenty Paragons of Filial Piety,"
whose acts of virtue are the subject OF
Chinese legends.
One of the Paragons had cruel step
mother who was very fond OF fish
Never repining at her cruel treatment
of him, he lay down on the frozen sur
face of a lake. The warmth of his body
melted hole in the ice, at which two
carp came up to breathe; these he
caught, and took home to his step
mother.
Another Paragon, boy with most
sensitive skin, insisted on sleeping
without any covering at night, so that
the mosquitoes should fasten on him,
while his parents slumbered undis-
turbed
Another, who was of the female sex,
chung to the jaws of a tiger which was
about to devour her father until the
latter had escaped.
The drollest of all these stories is
that of Rorashi This Paragon, though
seventy years Did. used to dress in
baby's clothes and crawl about on the
floor. His object was to delude his
parents who were really over ninety
| years of age, into the idea that they
could not be very old after all, as they
had such an exceedingly infantile son!
The japanese consider that one of the
gravest dangers to the future welfare
of the country arises from the importa-
ton of our less patriarchal western
ideas. Youths Companion.

1t was forty years in March
since the first edition of Mrs. Stoves
Uncle Toms Cabin was given to the
public. More truly than of Byron, it
may be said of Mrs. Stowe that she
awoke to find herself famous, and
though her book has passed its period
of greatest popularity, it still finds a
ready sale, and brings its aged author
a very comfortable income. Probably
no other book except the Bible, GER
tainlv no other work of an American
writer, has been SO frequently trans
