A Character who Until Recently Adorned
 French Legislative Halls.
 The French chamber of deputies has lost an original character in the person of NJ. de Caste, deputy for Brest, says the London Globe He was a simple, honest fellow, and enjoyed the esteem not only of his colleagues of the left but also of his adversaries on the right. He made himself celebrated by his everlasting fur cost, which he wore in all seasons, and which earned for him tho, name of "Pere Hiver" He was likewise irreverently called 'L'Homme- Chien," on account of his shaggy hair and whislzers which he allowed to grow in wild profusion and made him look like Skye terrier. His umbrella, his hat and particularly the cut of his clothes also rendered him famous. His colleagues smiled. but liked him none the less for his eccentricities. He had -one great day in the chamber, when as doyen d'age in the place of NJ. Pierre Blanc, who was unwell, he presided over the first sitting of the session. On that occasion he delivered a speech in which he embraced every political

He was born in 1S11, and was originally civil engineer of the first class. Un- like most of his republican colleagues, he was staunch Catholic. Every day as regular asclockworllhe would mount the tribune and bring'forward some un- expected motion which, much to his sor- row, was invariably shelved. Once, however, his motion was passed, and nobody was more surprised than him self. Of later years he took to fe- male emancipation, and attended the meetings of the strong-minded sister hood, to which two of his daughters belong. At home in his native Brittany he was beloved by all for his generos- ity and the pleasure he took in doing service to Lis fellow-countrymen. His curious figure will long be remem- bered

RACE TRACK GAMBLING.
The sharp Professional Bookmaker Car
 Afford to Laugh at Chance.

The sharp Professional BooHmaker Can
 Afford to Laugh at Chance.
 In new book called Chance and Luck" made up of essays by the late Richard A. Proctor, the subject of race track gambling is discussed in a very interesting way. He shows. clearly enough, that any man who follows the races for a livelihood, unless he is a professional boolzmaker, is perfectly certain of bitter disappointments Many gamblers have systems. but Prof Proctor, who was a mathematician, demonstrates how misleading is any system of chances. For a lucrative practice of the boolzmaker's calling, the first rule, according to Prof. Proc tor. is always to lay odds against horses, never to back them. Next, he should make his wagers against every horse in the race as early as possible when the odds are longest. If he lays against few which are certain not to run, so much the better for him: that is so much clear gain to start with. He should proportion his wagers so that the sum of what he lays against a horse and what he iS backed for may amount to about the same for each horse. The precise system requires that it should be exactly the same, but the booBmaller often improves upon that, by taking advantage in special cases of his own knowledge of a horses chance and of his opponents inexperi- ence. In every ease he lays odds a point or two short of the legitimate odds against a horse. When his book has been made up upon these prin- ciples, the boobmaker can watch the race with perfect calmness." If he follows this course he cannot fail to gain a steady income from his victims, whereas, the fellow who goes into the betting ring, if he continue patiently in his course. is likely to learn before long how it is that the boolmalzers make so much money.

In the side yard is an enormous powder which must weigh eight tons or more. It has been split by live white birch tree which started life in q tiny cleft of this immense rock, sent down it's shoots into the earth, little by little widened the cleft, until nearly thirty years ago came the split, and one-third of the powder was pushed off by the tree, now of good size, but strangely twisted as to limbs and trunk In the same yard are four smaller trees in va rious stages of growth. some having already started cracks in their rocky homes

UBIQUITOUS MICROBES.
The Little wretches Are Found Every
 where by Thousands of Millions.

where by Thousands of Millions.
 Dr. Nanfredi has been announcing some disquieting facts concerning the omnipresence of fatal microbes. In the busy thoroughfare Of a crowded city he has found 1,000, 900, GOO microbes to gram of dust, and in the dirtiest streets 5,OOO, ,O0O,O00 per gram. A large number Of discase-producing microbes were found among these, the number of such morbifc germs being directly proportional to the aggregate number of microbes. Of forty-two cases in which he inoculated guinea pigs with Neapolitan dust he detected the tubercle bacilli (the germ of consump- tion) in three, the bacillus of pus in eight, the bacillus of tetanus in two, the bacillus of malignant oadema in four, and other fatal bacilli. 4 medi- cal paper suggests that the streets of American cities should be tested for microbes, and is confident that in many of them a harvest as rich in variety and deadlincss as was garnered in Naples could easily be secured. Elm phasis is given to Dr. Manfredi's alarm ing statistics by the results of some in- vestigatiOns which have been carried on by Prof Ufelaan with respect to the carrying of cholera bacilli by means of letters, postal cards, etc. He in- fected letter with the bacili and put it in the ordinary way into post bag. In the course of twenty-four hours the letter was taken out and the bacilli were still living. They were also found still living on postal cards twenty hours after infection, but on coins they seemed to die with great rapidity. The reason for this difference could not be discovered. On woolen and linen stuffs the bacilli enjoyed particular ly long life. The busiest and most eff fective infection carrier was found to be the common fly. A fly which had been infected by being put on to mass of cholera bacilli was placed on a piece of beef. When the beef was examined soon after it contained an enormous quantity of living bacteria. Prof. Uffelman deduces from his ex- periments the oft-taught lesson that in time of epidemics the most scrupulous cleanliness is the best safeguard.

Farms in a Volcano.

Thirty miles from the city of Ku- mamoto, Japan, is the volcano Also San, which has the largest crater in the world. It is more than thirty miles in circumference, and peopIed by twen- ty thousand inhabitants. Think of walking for miles among fertile farms and prosperous villages, peering into schoolhouse windows and sacred shrines well within the shell of an old time crater, whose walls rise eight hundred feet all about you. It gives one a queer feeling. Hot springs abound everywhere. Tn one place bricl1-red hot water is utilized to turn ricemiu. The inner crater is nearly half mile in diameter, and steady column of roaring steam pours out of it. The last serious eruption was in 1881, when immense quantities of black ashes and dust were ejcctel and ear ried by the wind as far as Kumamoto, where for three days it was so dark that ari... i.....ieiaI iight had t9 b. usad.

HERRING ARIsToCRACY.
The First Fish of the Season Sold at Very
 High Prices in Holland.


 Needless to say that, being so sur rounded by water, the Dutch are great lovers of fish. Indeed, social rank is indicated by the consumption of fish, and strange to say that for this pur- pose the humblest of all fish, the com mon herring, has been selected.
 At good restaurant at Amsterdam I asked for thoroughly Dutch dish, and to my great surprise small raw herring was served to me, and for this strange dish 1 was made to pay very large price. In answer to my inquiries was informed in a particular tone in- dicative of something surprising and wonderful that 1t was a new herring. ] was further told that new herring cost a few weeks ago as much as one dollar each. l protested that in Lon don new herring were often sold at one cent each or three herring for two cents. In answer to this was smiling ly informed that in Holland herring were not during the season any dearer; only, though just as fresh, they were not called a new herring. The point is to eat a new herring, and new her ring means herring out of season, or the first herring that heralds the com ing season. It is these rare and early herring that are sold at one dollar each. Then the price falls to half dollar, then to twenty cents, to ten cents, to five cents, and finally to one cent or less.
 Whom tba now bnr,.i7,cr ora fret or nounced Dutchmen inquire of one an other: "Have you already eaten new herring?" If you are able to answer ''Yes' early in the season then you are considered a man of means and impor- tance. But if you continue for long cOnfessing that you have not eaten any new herring then your kind and char itable friends conclude you must be involved in serious financial difficult tipS

LITTLE CHANCE OF PERJURY.
Why CircumstantiaI Evidence Is Regarded
 by Many LayYers as Strong.

Why CircumstantiaI Evidence Is Regarded
 by Many Lawyers as Strong.
 Writers in the law periodicals are ad- vocating all sorts of strange doctrines at present. One correspondent thinks that circumstantial evidence should have scarcely any weight. His argu- ment is that when direct evidence is given there is only the perjury of the witness to be guarded against, while in circumstantial evidence there are both the possibility of perjury and the lia- bility to a wrong inference from the circumstances. The strength of cir cumstantial evidence, according to most writers, however, is that there is little probability of perjury as the cir cumstances frequently are slight in themselves and not likely to be dis tOrted by the witnesses who do not know of their full effect The New York Tribune regards it as probable that many more unjust convictions have taken place from perjured direct evidence than from mistaken infer ences from circumstances. Ardemus Stewart, in the American Law Reg
 
 dence to an even greater extent than most previous writers. English law yers, writing to the London papers, have advocated to some extent a strange plan for doing away with all paths in legal proceedings, on the ground that perjury is so common that simple declarations to which the same penalties for incorrect statements might attach would be just as valua- ble as testimony given under the pres ent form. Another new theory which has found it's advocate is that in crim- inal trials, except for treason, the de- fense, as well as the prosecution, shall be conducted by public officials. This suggestion is rather more startling than any of the others, and is even more unlikely than they of adoption. It may be that in the superabundance of law periodicals, writers find it easier to invent theory than to make some valuable contributions to legal liter ature
