An examination of the books of a prominent publisher of Paris showed that two-thirds of the ac- counts opened for works of fiction. verse, travel, domestic economy, and military science showed considerable losses.

 SENSES OF THE SEXES.
Scientific Experiments Which show Mant
 Superior Keenness.


 Superior Keenness.
 Thoughtful and observant persons do not need demonstration that the senses are less keen in woman than in man.
 Their own experience has revealed that natural law. But since we are not all thoughtful or observant the ex- periments of Professors Nichols and Browne are welcome.
 These American physiologists have begun to experiment with the sense of smell.
 They took four substances most strongly odoriferous-essen of clove, of garlic, of lemon and prussic acid.
 Each of these they diluted with pure water in growing proportion, filling set of bottles at every degree of the scale, until the last set represented one part of the test substance to 2,000,000 parts of water.
 Then they shuffied the bottles so to speak, and called in A men and 3s women, chosen from the various ranks of life, all young and healthy.
 These representatives of either sex were luSbfucIeu tO IedIIdllSc IHS DOb- ties, guided by the sense of smell. put ting each set of tinctures by itself, garlic with garlic, lemon with lemon, etc.
 To put results shortly, the wom- en were not in it. None of them could trace prussic acid beyond the dilution of 20, GOO parts to 1, while most of the men traced it up to 100000 parts. Three of the latter actually passed the extreme limit, identifying prussia acid at single part in 100000. Beyond 100, 900 parts all the womer failed recognize essence of lemon; al the men detected it at 250, 000
 This proportion represents their av craze superiority all around. -Pai l Mall Budget.

in the case of the eye. According to Dr ". H. Stone, ''an architect or draughtsman who, between two lines neither parallel nor in one plane, made an errorsof calculation not exceeding one-thirtieth would gain credit for un- usual precision But in the ear one- thirtieth amounts to quarter of a tone, and by ear one forty fifth is easily determined" A skillfu1 pianoforte tuner can do much more. He is called upon, for instance, to distinguish be- tween & true and an equally tempered fifth, where the difference is only HOO of tone, He should accordingly be able to recognize at least 500 different sounds in an octave. More than this, according to the investigations of Prof. Mayer, it is possible, under specially favorable conditions and for sounds whose pitch is near that of CS, to dis tinguish from each other notes which do not differ from each other by more than 1-t20 of a semi-tone.
 In the rapidity of it's appreciation the ear is remarkable In a fraction of 8 second 1t can accurately refer any note to it's place in the scale and can just as easily and quickly separate from each other several widely different notes. According to recent investigations the ear is capable of hearing a sound when only two vibrations are made. It should, therefore, hear the middle notes of the piano forte in the two or three hundredth part of a second. It requires more time, however, for the ear to distin- guish the full characteristic of note. To do this, according to the experi- ments of Exner, Auerbach and Kohl rausch, from two to twenty vibrations are. necessary.
 With proper training and practice the organ of hearing can be rendered remarkably sensitive and accurate There is rarely any physical defect in the ear itself The defects ordinarily noticed and spoken of are such as can be easily remedied by cultivation The organ truly may never be able to re- tain the remarkable range of addition we have spoken of above, it may never become so 'apprehensive and discrim- inant" as the ear of Mozart, but it's delicacy can be increased and its gem eral appreciation of musical sounds wonderfully improved This is espeei- ally true if the work of instruction is begun in childhood, when the organ of hearing is naturally most sensitive and most readily susceptible of cultivation. In making experiments with rods and tuning forks giving very accurate sounds, have frequently been struck with the very great difference in the ability to perceive such sounds as man. lfested by young and old persons Even when the latter were trained musicians, they were incapable of hearing some sounds that were quite audible to children who had no musical training whatever. This fact, like many others that might be adduced, is striking commentary on the neces- sity of beginning early the training of the young, when eye and ear-not to speak of the other senses-are ever on the alert and quick to detect sounds and forms and colors, which at a later period would entirely escape their observation.

The need for bimetalism is not solely
because the quantity Of gold produced is
not sufficient to prevent the great appre-
citation in its value and the consequent
evil effects which accompany steadily de-
creasing prices of everything, but it is
due to the necessity to protect the value
of the money Of two-thlrds of the human
race. Changes in the value OF the stand
ard should be made very graduliy so as
not TO disturb industries, and even If the
amount of gold produced were sufficient
for the coinage needs of the world, or II
we could find out how to do without gold
at all, we mairtain that the hange
should be made very gradually and that
while il is being made bimetalism is

IT IS unfortunate for the state that the
jury 10 the Ellis trial could not agree
upon verdict. The prosecution has
put forth 1t ablest effort, at great ex-
pense to lngham county, aud failed to
convict. 1t is doubtful, under such cir
cumstances whether another trial will be
had. 1t has been ascertained since tho
trial closed that the jury was divided on
political lines, seven Democrats voting
for acquittal and FIVE Republicans voting
for conviction. The Detroit Journal, in
published interview with the foreman
Of the jury. throws some light on the
way this remarkable result was obtained.
1t seems that when the jury retired to
their room to deliberate upon their YER
dict the officers were ordered by the
court TO clear the room OF every book
and scrap Of paper. The jurymen, how.
ever, were allowed to retire to closet
as necessity required, and therein were
designedly placed q number Of Ingham
County Democratic papers In which we're
printed cunningly worded editorials
apparently constructed for the purpose
of leading the jurymen to believe that
the prosecution Of Ellis was for political
effect. These papers were placed where
jurors would be most likely to pick them
up and read them. The trick produced
the desired result, evidently. The Jury
disagreed on party lines.
